When
one thinks of the "classic pinup" few names come to mind faster
than
Bettie Page. A raven haired beauty and icon of the 50s, she
was best known for her trademark hairstyle, bangs, blue eyes
and uninhibited relationship with the camera.
Bettie's hairstyle is one that women are emulating. Want
the look? Here is how:
-
-
Be prepared to color your hair for the full "Bettie homage"
look; unless your hair is already dark brown or black. Of
course you can still the "the style" without dying your hair
but it wouldn't be the Bettie Page look without going dark.
-
-
Have your bangs cut short. The bangs should be equal length
across the entire forehead. The bangs need only be long enough
to work with rollers or a curling iron.
-
-
Keep the hair (except the bangs) long, coming past the
shoulders at least.
-
-
Tame the hair into big, soft curls. If your hair is naturally
curly, try a relaxing product. Blow dry the hair with a
diffuser and a round brush to achieve the big curls. If you
have naturally straight hair, set it with big rollers for a few
hours. Set the curls with a lightweight hairspray, as the look
should appear soft and natural.
-
-
Use a large curling iron to tame the bangs. They should come
straight down but be curled under just enough to add a little
bounce and volume. Set with some hairspray.
-
-
And for the "pinup look" spice it up with a large flower on the
side of your head for special occasions.

If
you frequently have to use high heat
flat iron / curling irons on
your hair, they will eventually damage your hair! Flat irons
often heat up to over 400 degrees. Anything you can do to avoid
that much heat on your hair is a good thing. I came across a very
nice alternative called
hairfreé self-cleaning hairbrushes. A
cool line

of brushes that are beyond unique. With the
slide of a button, this gadget hair brush pushes all the hair out
of it, making it cleaner and easier than a traditional hairbrush.
Another cool feature of these brushes is that you can convert
each one to a vent brush by adjusting a knob. With a vent
brush, you can speed up the blow drying process. Another
big plus ... these brushes can pretty much replace your flat iron
and curling iron.
The
hairfreé® brushes use the
latest in ceramic technology to produce straight, soft, manageable
results, performing just as well as the traditional round brush.
Some of the benefits associated with Ceramic technology include:
-
- Creating a smooth and polished effect with added natural
shine.
-
- Aids against static build-up.
-
- Whilst drying the hair the heat is equally distributed for
fast and effective styling.
-
-
Hair straightening or curling.
You can order hairfreé brushes online for
dollarsignr15.95 for the round brush and dollarsignr9.95 for the
flat brush. They have an email address and phone number on the
contact page of their website,
hairfree.bz. If you are a salon owner, they also sell in
bulk.

One of my favorite things about being in Etsy seller is knowing
that I’m part of a community that is making changes to the world.
Just by providing local goods that are not mass-produced, handmade
artists are changing the way that we consume. Many artists are also
making a difference by up-cycling and reusing materials that might
otherwise be thrown out. Still others are setting an example by
using sustainable materials, or reducing the amount of waste that
their business produces.
Some very dedicated Etsy sellers take this challenge to the
next level, by offering their time to raise funds for important
causes. When I learned about the shops fundraising for the
Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, I decided it was
about time I got involved, too.
So, today’s ring was created especially for
Help the
Gulf Coast - a collective Etsy shop run by a handful of
dedicated Etsians. 100% of the net profits from this shop go to
charities that support communities affected by the disaster,
including
Oxfam.
This organization is already well known for it’s humanitarian
efforts. They have been assisting low income families in the Gulf
area since the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Now their
focus has had to shift, as the continuing oil damages change the
lives of everyone in the area. Oxfam is now working with
communities to assess the environmental and economic damages, while
still working towards safety measures for the arrival of the next
hurricane season.

Ring # 17 - Baby Fish Blues
With my Ring a Day project well under way, I had every reason
to create a brand new design to donate to the cause. I thought an
aquatic theme would be appropriate for this piece, so naturally I
went with a starfish ring. The first beads I chose where abalone
blue lined crystal. I did the starfish in coral pink, and added
some frosted magatamas for accents.
The color combination is pretty, but also meaningful. This ring is
my own tribute to the innocent creatures affected by all that we
humans do.
Red and pink coral, abalone, whales,
salmon and sea birds are
just a few of the animals that are being threatened by our
activities. They are constantly bombarded by pollution, habitat
destruction, and of course, human consumption. It’s a cruel irony
that only we can help them from our own wrongdoings.
If you’re any Etsy seller, you too can donate a listing to the
cause. Visit the
Help
the Gulf Coast blog to learn more about how to donate, or to
see the latest fundraiser stats. If you can’t donate, many
beautiful new items are added to the shop everyday. Even the
tiniest purchase can help!

Everyone loves a long weekend, but is Labor Day break the most
dreadful long weekend of the year? When its over, its time for
students to go back to school and begin the day-in day-out routine
all over again. Sure, there are lots of parents, and eager
students, ready for the new semester to begin; but the start of the
school year also marks the end of summer.
In anticipation of the years first homeroom period, this months
Wear It Twice collection is inspired by some traditional school
themes. I started with a pretty
apple pendant - a great piece for the first day
of school, whether youre a student or a teacher.
The first outfit I created began with a plaid skirt - another
school essential. I paired it with a pleated white blouse to
complete the uniform look, then finished it with some sassy red
Mary Janes and a pretty black floral headband.
The second ensemble is a lot more modern. The printed knit top
features a unique torn yarn pattern, and looks great with red
skinny jeans. To create a touch of school-girl charm, I added a
pair of plaid platform boots and a black and white striped
clutch.
Can you hear the bell already? Go the handmade route and
get these looks, or something like them, on
Etsy!

Title: George Michael Praying for Time Unplugged
George Michael Praying for Time Unplugged These are the days of
the open hand They will not be the last Look around now These are
the days of the beggars and the choosers This is the year of the
hungry man Whose place is in the past Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses The rich declare themselves poor And most
of us are not sure If we have too much But we'll take our chances
Because god's stopped keeping score I guess somewhere along the
way He must have let us alt out to play Turned his back and all
god's children Crept out the back door And it's hard to love,
there's so much to hate Hanging on to hope When there is no hope
to speak of And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
Well maybe we should all be praying for time These are the days
of the empty hand Oh you hold on to what you can And charity is a
coat you wear twice a year This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand And you find that what was over
there is over here So you scream from behind your door Say
"what's mine is mine and not yours" I may have too much but i'll
take my chances Because god's stopped keeping score And you cling
to the things they sold you Did you cover your eyes when they
told you That he can't come back Beacuse he has no children to
come back for It's hard to love there's so much to hate Hanging
on to hope when there is no hope to speak of And the wounded
skies above say it's much too late So maybe we should all be
praying for time

I PROMISE I AM DONE, I AM DONE, I AM DONE!
Shopping hiatus begins now. NOW! I know it was supposed to being
last week. Technically, it was supposed to being at 12:01 AM on
January 1st, but you know me. I know me. I suck at stuff like
this. Where did my willpower go?
So along with my resolution to be more positive (Man I suck, I
can't stop buying things to make myself feel better, I can't stop
shopping my feelings, there's the little children in Zimbabwe and
the puppies that need me and I just want to buy Nanette Lepore
skirts and make-up and oh, wait. What?) I made a teensy little
pledge to myself, mostly to test my willpower. Mostly to see if I
could actually do it. I like a good challenge. Could I last three
months without buying ANYTHING?
(Okay, basic necessities like food, medication, and the
occasional replacement item of make-up not included. You all
haven't seen me without foundation and my penciled-in-eyebrows.
It's not pretty. But replacement items of make-up only, nothing
new.)
Running a marathon? Nah. Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro? For suckers. I
need a REAL CHALLENGE here you guys. A REAL TEST OF STRENGTH and
COMMITMENT and YOU KNOW ALL THAT STUFF.
And, you know, there's the issue that the entire country is in a
recession. Husband and I are in a recession. Husband doesn't make
a lot of money, truthfully; like any smart business owner, he
only gets rewarded when the company does well. We've been
fortunate that the last several years have been great years so
we've been rewarded very well. 2008 and 2009 are not (and will
not) be the same. Owning a small business can be very cyclical-
you save when times are good, so you can make it through when
times are bad.
(And thank god Husband is a saver, or else we'd be sca-rewed.
Screwed.)
So like the rest of America, it's time to tighten our belts a
bit. We are also looking at doing a complete remodel to our
townhome this summer (which is 30 years old and needs a lot of
cosmetic work done- new carpet, I want wood floors, new
furniture,
Husband wants one of those showers that has a
laser light show and squirts water out from 10 nozzles to the
rhythm of whatever music you like) and I'd like to put some of my
money towards that, only because that means I can run out and buy
things before Husband gets his say-so in it. Ha. Take that,
Husband.
So it's not going to kill me. I have enough clothes to wardrobe
the entire cast of Mad Men (and the extras...and maybe the set of
Gossip Girl, and their extras too). It's not like I'm going to be
running around naked and make-up less here. And perhaps a
shopping hiatus will make me appreciate the clothes I actually
have a bit more. It's easy to get caught in the trap of
buy-buy-buy, especially now with everything being on sale and
cheap and so, so, so pretty. Oh so pretty.
A shopping hiatus for three months.
Posting it here will make me committed, because you know-
apparently posting it IN MY BRAIN did NOT.
Umm. So now for the good stuff- who wants to see what I bought
during my last binge? Hee.

Last week, I shared how I started a pair of earrings. Here's
the finished result!
Introducing my
Carolina
Earrings. These feature gorgeous artisan borosilicate beads
from Patricia Hernandez, olive green vesuvanite briolettes, blue
topaz rondelles, tiny faceted amethyst briolettes, and red onyx
rondelles.
In my post last week, I showed just the vesuvanite, blue topaz,
and red onyx beads. After some playing around, I decided to add in
the amethyst. I had originally seen some purple in the boro beads,
and decided this color scheme needed a little extra punch.
What do you think?

Holy shmoly cow. It's been a year, readers. A whole year! And
close to 500 posts and nearly 600 followers on Blogger (plus how
ever many more of you follow me by other means, I know you're out
there!). What can I say? I'm
impressed. What started as a little
warbling venture
about some photos of a dog that didn't belong to me has now
turned into this.
Way to go, me. I AM AWESOME.
Oh! And you are all awesome, too. And to say thanks to all of
you, I'm doing another giveaway. There will be just one winner
this time (sorry guys) and a pretty simple prize because frankly,
I'm a bit too zonked at the moment to do better. And hey now,
let's get something straight here- YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
FOLLOWING MY BLOG 'CUZ YOU LIKE ME. NOT 'CUZ I GIVE YOU
THINGS.
OH! OHHH!!!! AND it's my birthday in almost a week (on the 12th
readers, ahem) (yes, the
original Columbus Day) (and man, that caused total confusion for
me as a child because I'd be all, "Okay now who exactly is this Christopher
Columbo person I share my birthday with?" and my mom would be
all, "I ALREADY TOLD YOU, YOU DON'T SHARE YOUR BIRTHDAY WITH
HIM." and then I'd be all, "Oh that's good because I already hafta share every other single
birthday with SOMEONE and people keep taking the easy way out and
giving us crappy board games to share as gifts because
OH-HA-HA-HA isn't that funny, twins can play board games
together and I DON'T WANT
TO SHARE MY STUPID BOARD GAME WITH A THIRD PERSON." and my
mom would raise her eyebrow at me and then I'd think to myself,
"But huh, I thought we only have holidays if someone has a
birthday, like Christmas. Christmas is baby Jesus's birthday and
Easter is the Easter Bunny's birthday so how did this dude get a holiday if it
isn't his birthday?") but uh anyway, here I am, giving
things to you a week before my
birthday. Something is a bit screwy with this picture, huh.
Perhaps more than you will ever know, my dears.
But it's fun to give you guys things because
you give me things in return. Like
your love. And pictures of your pet chihuahuas dressed up in
their Halloween costumes (Ha! Thanks again, Rosa!). Blogging
might be the most time-sucking, non-money-making job
ever...but I rather dig it. Perhaps I
will even stick around for another year.
So! Drum roll please. Up for grabs is
this Simply Vera by Vera Wang necklace 'cuz it's edgy but
pretty:
AND this
Cupcake
Sampler from
Cupcakeinjars
off of Etsy:
Because what's a birthday or anniversary without a (cup)cake or
two? Exactly. You get
your choice of flavors- the complete list of all 21 flavors to
choose from is on the Etsy website. And yes, you read that
right- with cupcake names like "OMG- Oh My Ganache!" and "Yum
Blonde In a Pink Skirt", you can't go wrong. They're all
insanely good.
Entering the giveaway is easy-
simply post a comment with your name and email address.
That's it! There can be only one entry per commenter (multiple
comments will be deleted!) and the giveaway will end promptly
Friday evening at 9pm MT. The winner will be notified by email
for their mailing address and so they can choose their cupcake
flavors.
Easy peasy, that's it!
Thanks again for a wonderful year, readers, even if it it
hasn't been total sunshine and roses on this end. Your
comments, emails, and support have meant the world to me.
It is a happy anniversary, indeed. ?

Ask anyone that made it through kindergarten what the three
primary colors are, and theres probably a 99.9% chance that
theyll say Red, Yellow and Blue. And while that answer is true,
its not the whole truth. Its only about a third of the truth.
Printers, artists, and scientists know that there are other correct
answers to that question, depending on what type of color you mean.
Anyone that has actually tried to mix red, yellow and blue paint
knows that it doesn't actually work the way it does in preschool
cartoons.
In honor of the back to school season, and art teachers everywhere,
I thought it would be fun to do things a little differently this
month. Were going to look at beads in three
different primary color palettes, and perhaps compare how well
each one would look in a finished piece.
Building Blocks is the first
group of beads that I made, so named because I cant help but see
Lego bricks when I look at those blue, boxy Miyuki hexes. The
effect is even stronger with transparent ruby seed beads and yellow
cats eyes nearby. No matter what the brightness or finish is,
something about red, yellow and blue together always brings on
memories of crayons and building blocks.
Shattered Light turned out to
be a surprisingly irresistible palette. Im usually not a fan of
red and green together. I find that it either looks
unsophisticated, or that the red is far too orange, and the
combination looks garish. But here, the cobalt seed beads seem to
anchor the other colors, rein them in and make them work together.
The Czech rice beads and TOHO triangles dont even have a hint of
Christmasiness with blue there to keep things under control.
Pop Print somehow seems even
more youthful than the crayon-colors, with almost fluorescent
shades of magenta, yellow and cyan blue. I started with the tagua
slice, which is a bit muted, but still leans far enough on the
darker side of bubblegum to qualify for this palette. The dyed
shell rectangles and 11/o seed beads seem to look tropical and
candy-like at the same time. All this palette needs is a pair of
headphones, and youve got the makings of a teenaged ensemble from
recent, but simpler times.
So, if you had to choose just one of these
primary color palettes - with any bead type -
which would it be?

The Inspiration:
Sometimes the beads themselves are all the inspiration one
needs, and nothing beats a great seed bead mix. Whether
purchased or created, the chaotic look of mixed beads has
definate appeal. They can be paired with a single contrasting
or complimenting color for a bold statement, but these beads
need to stand alone.
The Beads:
This bead mixture is made from multi-colored transparent iris
seed beads, from Canadian Importer
JohnBead. White and beige
stand out among reds, blues and yellows, with a dash of
purple, brown and green for good measure.
The Beadwork:
Presenting "Confetti Rope". A simple peyote stitch tube
becomes a bright, cheerful necklace with these multi-colored
seed beads. The necklace measures 22 inches (56 cm), and
features a lucite bead clasp. With 12 beads in the base row,
the peyote tube has an outside circumference of 1-1/4 inches.
It can also be wrapped three times and worn as a wrist
bangle.
Your Turn:
Use or create your own bead mixture and let it stand out in a
unique piece of beadwork. Share your pictures and ideas on

Title: Elegant Prom Dress in Beaded Charmeuse
This gown is elegant simplicity. The bodice is graced with
crossover pleating that follows the line of the low cut back.
Wide bead and sequin encrusted shoulder straps are both enhanced
and secured by a thin tie gracing the back. This gown is perfect
for prom or any formal event. It would also be terrific to cut
off and make a short, one-of-a-kind gown all your own. Colors

So... it's been a crazy past seven days. Busy, busy, busy! Lots of
laughter and a couple hissy fits from the kids (...okay, fine, they
were from
me - I'm not a morning person),
but I had an all-around fun time with my niece and
nephew. I'll be home later on today, but I've gone ahead
and reopened the shop right now. As for my Week 13 post, give me a
couple days?
And thanks for playing along last week with the color palettes -
I'll be responding to comments later on tonight and tomorrow.
:)

Title: Paris 1999: Touching base with the Eiffel
Tower
My favorite location in Paris was at the Eiffel Tower and Rob and
I made it a point to get there at some point each and every day
that we were in Paris. In this video I show myself touching the
base of the Eiffel Tower along with a little bit of the ponds
with ducks right next to it. August 26, 1999.
Title: Touching base
Just trying to touch base with all you guys! I will not
promise... but I will try to post more often. I enjoyed doing
this when I did, and I want to continue .... Please forgive me!
