Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
1989
"Personal Jesus" is a song by the English electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released in 1989 as the lead single from their seventh studio album, Violator (1990). Prior to its release, advertisements were placed in the personal columns of regional newspapers in the UK with the words "Your own personal Jesus", and included a phone number one could dial to hear the song. The ensuing controversy helped propel the single to number 13 on the UK charts, becoming one of Depeche Mode's biggest sellers. It reached number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The single was their first to enter the US top 40 since 1984's "People Are People" and was their first gold-certified single in the US. In Germany, "Personal Jesus" is one of the band's longest-charting songs, staying on the West German Singles Chart for 23 weeks.
In 2004, "Personal Jesus" was ranked number 368 in Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", and in September 2006 it was voted as one of the "100 Greatest Songs Ever" in Q magazine. "Personal Jesus" was re-released as a single on 30 May 2011 for the Depeche Mode remix album Remixes 2: 81–11. The song has been covered by numerous artists, including Johnny Cash, Marilyn Manson, Def Leppard, and Iggy Pop.
"Personal Jesus" received a total of 88,7% yes votes!
Previous Depeche Mode polls: #101 "It's No Good".

Sky Fish
So. Haven't posted in a while. But I have knowledge I NEED to share with the world. I can't think of a funny way to portray it so... -serves it up on a platter-
The Sky Fish familiar that Marcille makes in episode 22 / chapter 48.
This is "real".
This is the cryptid or UMA (read: yu-ma or Unidentified Mysterial Animals) known in Japan as the Sky Fish, and in English as a flying rod or rod.
So like, this is actually a thing. Japanese TV loves UFOs and Cryptids (or maybe I'm biased because my Beetle is the one who's obsessed but.) the timing for This Specfic Cryptid's popularity and when Ryoko Kui was writing/starting out with this story, are around the same time. This specific UMA had such an impact on me when i first saw it in TV 10ish years ago, that I was so excited about its appearance, and then confused and amused in equal measure when my Capybara had no idea what I was talking about.
AND THE TV SHOW I WATCHED! the original episode clip is still on youtube, although lacking English subtitles (although you can translate the auto generated subtitles to English if you want to try).
Basically, Jose Escamilla of Roswell, New Mexico (and several other sources around middle and South America) caught this UMA/Cryptid on video in 90s? But the story and other people catching them on video and in pictures still pop up, but with improved phone cameras, the proof that it's likely just bugs flying at just the right frame rate to make a long cat style image is more prevalent lol.
But this was/is a super popular UMA in Japan. Like, there are gacha minis, and figures, cryptid books, and other anime featuring these lil guys.
JoJo's bizarre adventures Stone Ocean's Sky High stand, Skytails from Zelda, and a Kemono Friend are some examples.
I want a lil sky fish figurine now...
But yea...
WOO SKY FISH CRYPTIDS FTW

2010'S GLAM - DARK EYES, PINK LIPS: FAITH’S GUIDE
OVERVIEW
This look mixes a matte base with glossy lips. The emphasis is placed mainly on the eyes, and the other focus is the lips. This is a good everyday look that can be worn for any occasion.
YOU WILL NEED
PRODUCTS
Primer
Baby Powder
Foundation/ Tinted Moisturiser
Concealer (not too light)
Pressed Powder
Setting Powder
Brow Gel
Brow Pomade
Lashes
Lash Glue/ Bonding Glue
Highlight
Brown Lip Liner
Pink Lip Gloss
Setting Spray
TOOLS
Powder Brush
Beauty Blender
Small Flat Brush
Eyebrow Brush
BASE
Apply primer all over your face
#faithtip: use a powder brush to apply baby powder all over your face
Your face will look ashy after this step, but applying foundation/tinted moisturiser will fix this
Blend it in with a damp beauty blender
#faithtip: dampen your beauty blender with setting spray for easier blending and a longer lasting base
After blending in your foundation/tinted moisturiser, apply a concealer that is only slightly lighter than your skin tone to the inner corner of your under-eye
Place concealer to the end of your under-eyes following the shape of your eyes
Blend it in well with a beauty blender
Take a powder brush and some pressed powder and apply all over your face
Now, apply setting powder to your under eyes following your eye shape.
Place a line of setting powder under your cheeks
Let the setting powder sit whilst you focus on another part of your face
EYEBROWS
Eyebrows play a very vital role in this look, they help your eyes stand out more
This step will be easier if your brows have a defined shape
Brush through your eyebrows with brow gel
Use a brow brush dipped in pomade, to draw a line at the bottom of your brow starting from the front of your brow to the end
Draw a similar line at the top of your brows
Fill in the space (don't fill in the very front of your brows to create an almost ombre effect)
Apply eyebrow gel on top
Then use a small brush to apply concealer underneath your eyebrows
Blend well with a beauty blender
Apply setting powder to under your brow
LASHES
Lashes are the main event for this look
Select thick and long lashes/ lash clusters that suit your eye shape
#faithtip D-Curl lashes are your best friend
STRIP LASHES
But for this step apply glue to strip lashes
Wave the lashes around for a bit so the glue dries a tiny bit and feels a little bit sticky
Place them on the lash line and adjust where needed (using tweezers or fingers)
CLUSTER LASHES
Strip lashes can also be cut into smaller pieces or use cluster lashes
Dip them into glue and wipe off the excess
Use tweezers to hold the lashes
Pull the top of your eyelid upwards so you can see underneath your eyelashes
#faithtip Wipe the glue on the part you are applying to then you can dip the lash in glue again before actually placing it underneath your lash
This make the lashes more firm and secure
Make sure it is not too close to your eye as this can be irritating
Fan your eyes if you can still feel wet glue
BACK TO BASE
Brush the setting powder away with a powder brush
You will need to make sure you do this properly because the powder won't move easily, because of how long it has sat there
Apply highlighter to the tip of your nose, your brow bone and your cupid's bow
Make sure to keep the highlight application light and smooth it out, so as to not look ashy and to keep the focus on your eyes and lips
Spray setting spray all over your face
LIPS
Use a brown lip liner, slightly darker than/ similar to your skin tone, to outline your lips
Apply pink lip gloss to your lips
Then top it all off with clear lip gloss.
