13 Things Bloody Mary Can't Live Without

We at Bloody Mary like the idea of giving the reader a "snapshot" of a person's true psyche. So, in celebration of list making and getting to know one another, we came up with a shortlist of 13 Things Bloody Mary Can't Live Without.

Bloody Mary's Shortlist

1. My iPhone. Its a busy world and you have to 

stay connected to your business at all times.


2. Starbucks Non-Fat Chai Latte. When energy
escapes you or you need a boost, grab some caffeine!

3. My cat, Camouflage. A sweet kitty named after one of our best selling products.
4. Bloody Mary All in One Moisturizing Creme and Makeup Remover. Something I use daily
to refine and replentish.





5. Chelsea Lately. Love this show and saw Chelsea Handler Live in Dallas.
6. LA Fitness. I go there every morning before work.

7. The Movie Tavern. What do you get
when you mix movies with meals?
The best place for "market research."



8. My baby grand piano. I can't read a note
but love to play by ear. If you can hum it, I can play it.

9. Tom Carlton, my artist and assistant at Bloody Mary corporate offices.
10. Face Paint USA Soldiers' Kids at US Military bases nationwide.
11. My cowboy hat. As seen in MANY interviews and photographs.

12. Bloody Mary Military Dog Tags. I wear them each and EVERY DAY.

  










13. Bloody Mary "Makeup to Die For" Workshops and
Motivational Speaking Appearances.

Made in the USA, Baby!

For years now, Chinese imports have been shown to contain harmful chemicals. According to The Washington Post, in 2007 more than 1000 tainted products were rejected by the FDA. These included foods containing "cancer-causing preservatives, putrefying bacteria, illegal pesticides and banned antibiotics."

Within the last few months, toxic toothpaste, tainted toys, poisonous pet food, as well as counterfeit medicines and cosmetics and "DANGEROUS BABY FOOD" have made their way to the homes of the American public.

Wal-Mart recently pulled all of Chinese-made, Miley Cyrus brand jewelry that was proven to have dangerous levels of cadmium, a soft bluish-white ductile malleable toxic bivalent metallic element. Their explanation was that the jewelry was to be sold to adults, not children.

As of April 2010, Cosmetics and Toiletries imports from China reached an estimated $1.3 billion. With the increase of trade with China due to economic downturn and tens of thousands of harmful products flooding the American market, how can you be sure you're buying goods and products that are fit for human consumption?

One thing's for sure, ALL BLOODY MARY PRODUCTS ARE MADE IN THE USA! With all of the distrust generated from corporate negligence, you can trust us! So get out there, do some research and BUY AMERICAN. It stimulates OUR ECONOMY and, let's face it, it's a whole hell of a lot safer. Buy Bloody Mary: Makeup to Die For or (the funny thing is) you might ACTUALLY DIE!

Warm Char Grilled Zombie Salsa Recipe

In honor of Memorial Day, we at Bloody Mary present a tasty idea for your party or get-together. Warm Char Grilled Zombie Salsa is sure to be a spicy, healthy hit!

Ingredients:

4  tomatillos (husked)
2  green bell peppers
1  large white onion
1  avocado
6  cloves of garlic-peeled (to keep the vampires away)
2  jalepenos
1  serrano pepper
1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro
1  lime (squeezed)

Directions

Husk the tomatillos, chop the bellpepper in half, skin and chop the onion in half and peel the garlic cloves. When dealing with the peppers remember that the amount of seeds you leave determines the heat. For a more mild salsa, de-seed BOTH jalepenos AND the serrano. For medium, de-seed ONLY ONE jalepeno AND the serrano. For hot, leave in ALL seeds.

Prep your grill. Use a medium heat setting for gas grills. For charcoal or wood grills, wait until the fire dies down a bit before you place the veggies.

Place the garlic, jalepenos, and serrano into a small bit of foil and wrap it up (to prevent smaller items from falling through the grill into the fire). Place it on the grill. Also, place the tomatillos, onion halves and bell pepper halves (face-down, rounded side up) onto the grill as well. Let them cook for about 15 minutes or until the skin of the veggies has a few char marks.

Careful when pulling these off - especially the tomatillos - as they will be softer. Place the char-grilled veggies into a blender along with the garlic and peppers from the foil. Squeeze the lime and add the chopped cilantro into blender. Puree the mixture and add salt and pepper to taste.

Finally, pour the salsa into a large 2qrt bowl, cut the avocado into small square chunks and mix (with spoon) into the mixutre. This will give the salsa a nice CHUNKY ZOMBIE FLESH look.

Serves 8-10 people

This dish is great with chips, fajitas, tacos, even burgers and hot dogs.

ENJOY ZOMBIE LOVERS!

Bloody Mary How To Series

 We just started a Youtube series called Bloody Mary How To. These will be updated periodically and as new products are developed. Products that have more than one use or some sort of spectacular property are placed into specialized kits perfect for making certain effects. For instance, Blood Red Mascara is a little thicker and includes an applicator that is ideal for making a slit wrist. So, we throw that in with a few black makeup crayons, stipple sponges and a bottle of thick blood and BOOM! Now you've got a slit wrist kit. 

      

Watch: Bloody Mary How To - Death Cut

New products like Concrete can be added to existing products like Monster makeup and Charcoal setting powder to make a kit for creating a living statue or Medusa victim.
