How to Hatch Mime Jr. in "Pokemon"

FoodHomeStyleMoneyFamilyHealthShiftMore This SeasonSimplify the SeasonTailgating HomeArts & EntertainmentEntertainmentMimeHow to Hatch Mime Jr. in "Pokémon"How to Hatch Mime Jr. in "Pokémon"Print this articleMr. Mime, a psychic-type Pokemon that first appeared in the "Pokemon Red" and "Pokemon Blue" games, was thought for years to have no other evolutions or forms. Pre-evolutions, or baby Pokemon, were introduced in later games. Mr. Mime's pre-evolution is a baby Pokemon called Mime Jr. It is difficult to capture a Mime Jr. in the wild, so the best way to get one is by breeding and hatching the resulting egg. To get a Mime Jr. egg, give a Mr. Mime an Odd Incense to hold, then breed it with a Ditto or a female Mr. Mime.

Related Searches:Difficulty:EasyInstructions 1

Obtain an Odd Incense. In "Pokemon Diamond," "Pokemon Pearl" and "Pokemon Platinum," you can find an Odd Incense in the Solaceon Ruins. In "Pokemon HeartGold" and "Pokemon SoulSilver," look for an Odd Incense in Cerulean Cave. In "Pokemon Black" and "Pokemon White," you can buy an Odd Incense for $9,600 from the Driftveil Market.

2

Catch one male Mr. Mime and one female Mr. Mime. Alternatively, catch one Mr. Mime of either gender and one genderless Ditto.

3

Give one of the Mr. Mimes, either female or male, the Odd Incense to hold. Take the Mr. Mime pair -- or one Mr. Mime and a Ditto -- to a Pokemon Daycare.

4

Talk to the daycare owner repeatedly, until you receive an egg from the breeding pair. This may take up to one day.

5

Walk around with the Mr. Mime egg in your party. After your character takes about 6,600 steps, the egg hatches.

Tips & Warnings

Your egg hatches a bit faster, if you ride your bike everywhere instead of walking. If you have a Pokemon with the Magma Armor or Flame Body ability, every step you take counts as two steps.

How to Use Makeup for a TV Interview

Take studio lights into consideration when applying your makeup before an interview.

Flag this photo

When you're on the stage of a talk show or on the set of the nightly news, you should look your absolute best. Makeup for television is different from the kind women wear every day -- and for some men, it might be the only type of makeup they will ever wear. When you're applying makeup for television, remember to apply it with a light hand -- no makeup is better than too much makeup.

Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions Things You'll NeedFace powderEye shadowEyelinerMascaraLip balmBlushMakeup brushesSuggest Edits1

Apply powder to your entire face. Use powder that matches your skin tone, and make sure to cover the most oily parts -- your nose and forehead -- because the shine will be exacerbated by the lights in the studio. Also, powder will help soak up any sweat caused by the heat of the stage lights. If you are balding, powder your head, too, so it doesn't shine.

2

Apply lip balm to help keep your lips from drying out under the hot studio lights. Use lipstick or lip gloss that complements your skin tone and attire if you want.

3

Brush eye shadow across your eyelids. Line the upper and lower lashes with eyeliner, but be sure not to go too heavy on either, and make sure both complement your skin tone and don't overpower your natural features; the point of makeup is to enhance them.

4

Apply mascara to upper and lower lashes. Some men may want to do this, as well, to help bring out their eyes.

5

Brush blush or bronzer on your cheeks to make sure you don't look too pale on camera. Studio lights have a tendency to wash your skin out.

Tips & Warnings

Be prepared to do your own makeup in case the studio you're in doesn't have makeup artists on hand. If you're going to be on TV often, consider buying your own professional-grade makeup from lines such as MAC, Smashbox or Studio Gear. If you're unsure of what would work best for you, consult a makeup artist at a department or beauty supply store.

How to Make a Puppet Dragon

Turn a simple lunch bag into a whimsical dragon puppet.

Flag this photo

When making crafts with children, you don't need expensive craft materials to create an exciting activity. For example, instead of buying fancy fabrics and embellishments to create a dragon puppet, use materials found around your house such as brown paper sandwich bags. You and your children can use the paper bag dragon puppets to put on a whimsical puppet show for family and friends.

Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions Things You'll NeedPaper sandwich bagGreen washable markerBlack markerGreen construction paperScissorsCraft glueWhite construction paper2 googly eyesSuggest Edits1

Color the outside of a brown paper sandwich bag with a green marker. Add two small dots on the bag's bottom flap using a black marker; position the dots 1/2 inch from the bottom edge of the flap. These will be the dragon's nostrils. Place the bag vertically on the table with the fold facing up.

2

Cut two 1-inch triangles from green construction paper. These will be the dragon's horns. Glue the triangles on top of the paper bag, above the flap's fold, with craft glue. Allow the glue to dry for 30 minutes.

3

Cut two 1-inch triangles from white construction paper. These will be the dragon's fangs. Glue the triangles, points facing down, underneath the flap of the bag. Allow the glue to dry for 30 minutes.

4

Squeeze two pea-sized dollops of craft glue on the top of the flap. Place them 1 inch below the fold and about 2 inches apart. Press a googly eye onto each glue dollop and allow the glue to dry for 30 minutes.

5

Cut two large 4-inch triangles from green construction paper. Lay the triangles on the table, positioning them so two of their points are touching.

6

Squeeze craft glue on the area where the triangles touch. Lay the back of the paper bag on top of the glue and triangles. These will be the dragon's wings. Allow the glue to dry for 30 minutes.

7

Open the sandwich bag and slide your hand up inside the puppet. Your fingers will fit into the flap of the bag, which is the head of the dragon.

Tips & Warnings

Help young children with this craft by cutting out the shapes for them.

How to Create a Black Eye Using Theatrical Makeup

Squinting with the costume black eye adds verisimilitude.

Flag this photo

Makeup, props and costumes help set the stage for a theatrical production. After a dramatic fight scene, one or more of the actors may need a black eye to sell the realism of the fight to the audience. Theatrical makeup can help the actor achieve a realistic injury. A genuine black eye, or ecchymosis, occurs when trauma to the face causes bruising and swelling around the eye. Reproducing swelling accurately requires theatrical appliances, but for quick stage makeup or a costume you plan to wear for hours, you can mimic the look of swollen, bruised eyes with cosmetics.

Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions Things You'll NeedMirrorPlum theatrical makeupRed theatrical makeupOlive green theatrical makeupPale yellow theatrical makeupMakeup spongeTranslucent powderSuggest Edits1

Set your fist gently against the eye that you intend to blacken with theatrical makeup. A real fist will give you accurate references for the impact points -- the parts of your underlying bone structure that would take the force of a hit to the face. Note where your hand touches.

2

Sweep a layer of plum theatrical makeup under your eye with your fingertip. Work from the inner corner to the outer corner; this will leave the thickest application near the inner edge of your eye and gradually fade the makeup out toward the outer corner. Keep the makeup above the rim of your cheekbone where the tissue is soft.

3

Touch up areas that need more plum makeup with the edge of your finger. The heat of your finger will melt the oily theatrical makeup and blend it into your skin as you apply it, so continue building the plum makeup until you achieve a bruiselike color at your inner eyelid.

4

Work the dark plum makeup into the outer corner of the crease of your upper eyelid. A real black eye causes bruising of the soft tissues on both your upper and lower lids, so blend the makeup onto your upper lid below the crease.

5

Apply red makeup to the outer corner of your eye, and pat it with a fingertip to blend it. The red makeup enhances the illusion of swollen, angry skin. Touches of red should be subtle and blend with the purple bruise hue you've applied around your eye.

6

Pat olive green theatrical makeup lightly around the edges of the false bruising to give the illusion of a black eye that's beginning to fade. If you had a real black eye, your skin would take on greenish and yellowish tones where the bruising was about to disappear, and that's what you'd mimic with the green theatrical makeup. Skip this step if you want a fresher-looking black eye.

7

Apply yellow makeup to the impact points around your eye where the bone is most prominent. For most faces, those points are the outer brow bone, the upper cheekbone and the bridge of the nose. The pale hue of the makeup also gives the illusion of swelling in those areas.

8

Dampen a makeup sponge, and pat the makeup to blend it thoroughly where two colors meet. Leave a fairly sharp line of demarcation under your eye between the unbruised skin of your cheek and the thin, delicate skin of your eye socket. Real black eyes usually exhibit a sharp delineation between undereye bruising in the socket and the healthy tissue of the cheek.

9

Dust the makeup with a light coating of translucent powder to set it in place and reduce shine.

Tips & Warnings

Choose makeup colors that resemble the color your skin turns when you bruise.

Darker skin tones may need a more-brownish plum, while lighter complexions may look more-realistically bruised with a reddish plum hue.

If your black eye doesn't look sufficiently dark after you've applied powder, add more plum makeup and powder until you're satisfied with the color.

Add abrasions with the red makeup if the fictitious wound is fresh.

Avoid getting theatrical makeup in your eyes. The greasy cosmetics can irritate your eyes or form a blurry film until your tear ducts wash the surface of your eye.

How to Make a Back for a Stage

Bring your play to life with a beautifully painted backdrop.

Flag this photo

The backdrop is an essential component of the stage, as it allows you to create the scenery needed for the play. Professional theaters often use elaborate backdrops made with expensive materials and fabrics. Building your backdrop's supporting structure out of PVC pipe will allow you to save money, without sacrificing the quality of your production. Instead of using silk or velvet, you can cover your backdrop frame with seamless paper. This will allow you to easily change the scenery of your play, using various painted landscapes and designs.

Place one 8-foot piece of PVC pipe onto the floor in a horizontal position. Insert the left end of the PVC into a four-way fitting.

2

Insert the right end of the PVC pipe into a five-way fitting. Lower an 8-foot piece of PVC into the four-way fitting, in a vertical position. Insert a 1-foot PVC pipe into the two remaining holes of the four-way fitting, to create legs for your backdrop.

3

Place a J-shaped elbow fitting atop the vertical piece of PVC pipe. Lower an 8-foot piece of PVC into the five-way fitting, in a vertical position. Place a T-joint atop the second piece of vertical PVC.

4

Connect the elbow fitting and T-joint with an 8-foot piece of PVC. Insert a 1-foot piece of PVC into the opposing ends of the five-way fitting, to create a second set of legs for your backdrop. Place an 8-foot piece of PVC onto the floor, in a horizontal position.

5

Slide the left end of the PVC pipe into the remaining hole of the five-way fitting. Place a five-way fitting onto the right side of the PVC pipe. Lower an 8-foot piece of PVC into the five-way fitting, in a vertical position.

6

Place a T-joint atop the piece of vertical PVC. Connect the two T-joints with a piece of 8-foot PVC. Insert a 1-foot piece of PVC into the opposing ends of the five-way fitting, to create a third pair of legs for your backdrop.

7

Insert an 8-foot piece of PVC into the remaining hole of the five-way fitting, in a horizontal position. Place your last four-way fitting onto the right side of the PVC. Lower an 8-foot piece of PVC into the four-way fitting, in a vertical position.

8

Place an elbow fitting atop the vertical piece of PVC. Connect the T-joint and elbow fitting with your last piece of 8-foot PVC. Insert your last two pieces of 1-foot PVC into the opposing ends of the four-way fitting, to create a fourth pair of legs for your backdrop.

9

Wrap a large sheet of seamless paper around the skeletal structure of your backdrop. Secure the paper in place with numerous pieces of duct tape. Draw landscapes and designs onto the paper to complete your stage backdrop, if only one is needed for your production. If more than one backdrop is needed, paint each one on a separate sheet of seamless paper, and change them as needed during the play.

Makeup Tips to Hide Jowls and the Neckline When on the Stage

Print this articleStage makeup has a variety of uses when applied to theater. It's useful when concealing problem areas on an actor's face and also when adding problem areas to an actor's face to make him appear older or more sinister. If you want to conceal the actor's jowls and neckline area, use basic makeup, but heavily apply it, since the actor will be on stage.

Related Searches: Soap and Face Cleanser

Remove any makeup that you have on. Apply water to your face, followed by soap or face cleanser, then remove it with more water. If you're not wearing street makeup, you should still wash your face with these items, as they clean the face to prepare for stage makeup application.

Foundation

After the face is clean, apply foundation to the jowl and neckline area. Since you're trying to cover up these areas, make sure that the foundation is the same color as the actor you apply it to. If you don't have the correct color, mix the colors you have until you get the right tone.

Liquid Highlighter

You can hide the jowls by applying liquid highlighter to your jowl lines with a concealer brush. Some liquid highlighters also come in a pen-like applicator, allowing for simpler use. This product will make the lines less deep and create a smoother appearance.

Fluid Concealer

Fluid concealer can also be applied to the problem areas on your jowl and neckline. Since you're applying it for the stage, apply more than the usual amount.
