Vintage Goodies

The day of the Saw VI release me and Dallas went to a local thrift store and each found a great hat...she stole one I was going to buy. I ended up with a great little pillbox hat with quaint bow on the back, sadly the netting is all torn :( I also found a lovely pair of nude gloves :) They are a polyester and stretch to fit my PSP (omg - I love that girl) hands. We walked around all day strutting our stuff with our lovely hats (and my gloves). Yes, we got several looks and comments.

Yesterday my hunny took me to the same thrift store, and I found a perfect pair of velvet-like black gloves that stop about 2-3 inches below by elbow. I am on the look out for a pair of opera-length gloves (preferably in black).

I Won a Giveaway <3

Awhile back, I entered a giveaway on Strawberry Koi Vintage Style to win a photo of choice on Diana's Etsy shop City Light Photography. I often forget to check my email, and a month later I received an email from Diana notifying me. I emailed her back apologizing for the delay explaining that I forget to check my email, and she said that I could still claim my prize!! Overjoyed, I had a hard time choosing a photograph, but decided on the "Couch" photo as I have been looking for a similar couch to decorate my living room, and thought this photo would be perfect inspiration. Pink! How darling :)

I received my package yesterday, and inside was the beautiful photo (need to find a perfect frame), and Diana was so sweet that she sent me a few additional smaller photos. I think that these could be great gifts for the holidays :) so go check her site. The prices are reasonable and great little gifts to sent to family and friends!

Halloween 2009

Happy Halloween Everyone!

This year me and Dallas (my sis) dressed up everyday at school/work (we both go to the same school and happen to work there). I forgot to take pics some of the days...boo! We sure did get many compliments and ever more "looks"...yea you know what I am talking about. Oh well. I think both of us are a little happy it is over...only because our faces have become quite acne prone since Monday! boooooooo.

This evening we went to a casino and met our parents...we forgot to take pics of them. Mom looked great! Neither were dressed up, but they love to see us dress up. Lauren was fussy about getting dressed up, but once it was done, and he began getting the "looks," he was all into it...he is an attention whore, lol!

While me and Dallas were at the dessert table, a woman with boobs pushed up to almost her neck approached us. She inquired about our make-up and costumes as she was quite impressed with them. As soon as she left, me and Dallas looked at each other with the realization that she was a drag queen...we had never seen a drag queen before....she was working it lemme tell you! We seen her twice more and she soon started calling us "her gals." I wish I would have thought to get a pic :(

True Blood's Queen Sophie

I first read the book after hearing that if you liked Twilight that you would like this book. I read Dead Before Dark before I saw the series, and I liked it...I didn't love it like I loved Twilight. To me, True Blood is an adult series while Twilight is more for teens. BTW, the book and the series don't follow very closely, so if you have read the book first some of the inconsistencies may drive you nuts!

That being said, on one of the last few episodes (errr season 3?!?) Queen Sophie quickly became the star, even though she was only in a few episodes for a short period of time. Her perfectly placed luscious red hair, smokey vintage makeup, and simple 40s style had me drooling...to me she epitome of a vintage glamor girl. Queen Sophie is played by the lovely Evan Rachael Wood who has been known to wear vintage in her daily life.

The hair and makeup look simple enough to accomplish and could be worn day or night...just add a change of clothes and you will be stylish all day long ;) 

Here is my Diana Dors Hair Tutorial which is more-or-less the same style - just pin the sides up with a bobby pin or hair comb. I will try to do an appropriate one soon! 

Additionally, BerlinHairBaby has a hair tutorial on Queen Sophie. Also, check out her blog for makeup and hairstyling tips here.

Meet Pad-Foot

There is someone special I would like you to meet.
Cute isn't she?

A few weeks back I wrote a post on the passing of my lil baby Marshmallow. I still really miss her :*( Days after losing her, my mother was very insistent on me getting a new lil one (that has always been her way of helping us get over the loss of a pet). After searching for the perfect lil one, we came across Pad-Foot. She has lil white booties on all of her lil tootsies, and she also has a white neck stripe. She won't let me take a pic of that yet, so will have to wait!

I wanted Lauren to name her, but I wanted a fu-fu name like that in which I had given Marshmallow. My sister tried to name her Skunky as she has a stripe down her back. She is still a little scared so she still poops quite a bit. The second day we had her, she was biting, but ater that she has not bitten.

Don't be Scared...It's for Halloween

Ooooooohhhh Halloween is around the corner, and I can't wait!



My sister Dallas and I were messing around with make-up when she came over this evening. I forgot to take pics. I thought I would add a few pics from last years Halloween. The top first pic was taken on Halloween at Pechanga Casino as we met our parents there b/c both of our boyfriends had to work :(

The top second pic was about 2 weeks before Halloween last year...we seen some vids on youtube and got inspired. Last year MissChievous (Julia's) vid's were the best, in my opinion! I think she has done one for this year already and plans on more. Go to her channel and check them out, you won't be disappointed :)



These last two pics are of the boys. The first is my bf Lauren. He was going as the Joker. Looks pretty cute, if I do so say myself :) The second is Dallas' bf Trent, and he was going as a rock star.

I have already been messing around with Halloween looks. I am not sure what I wanna be this Halloween, I just know that I wanna be something dead :P I LOVE the blood and fake bruises, scabs, etc... Oh, yeah! SarahVictor from youtube did an awesome vid on making bruises and scars. Below are pics of my attempt at looking beaten.


I want to make little Boo's, you know the lil ghosts from Mario Bros video game. Trent bought Dallas a book (Martha Stewart) on making all kinds of Halloween treats, and I thought that making lil ghosts would be cool. She is having a Halloween party at her house, and she wants me to help decorate. Fun, fun, fun!

Kelly Rocking the 40's!

Sometimes Kelly Osbourne's styles are a little out-there for me, but in this case, I think she does a wonderful job! She looks very elegant, and I love the hat! The suit reminds me on some of the new fall suits that came out from Lane Bryant and Igigi.

I found this when I was browsing a new blog, Little Miss B. I really like her blog...so cute! Check out her posting here. I found additional pics here. Apparently she is modeling designer Tarina Tarantino's jewelry and hair accessories.

Looks fab Kelly!
