Mansfield Monday's

Jayne sure does not look happy with Mamie trying to take some of the spotlight.

Stefani Sunday's

The blonde Marilyn look Gwen is rocking in this video is IMO her best look.

Do you Remember...The 90s Blonds?

The late 90's / early 2000 blonds? I was one of them! Ah nostalgia :D

I recently cut my hair short in an A-lined bob (short in the back and longer in the front). I damaged my hair from dying it too much, so I decided to chop it off. The A-line bob was a last minute decision.

Here is a pic of me from 2003 taken by my mother-in-law (to be).

Anyways, after I cut my hair, I have been reminded of the short blond es from the 90s that I grew up idolizing like Gwen Stefani, Drew Barrymore, Julia Stiles, etc.

Who were some of your favorite blonds in the late 90s/early 2000s?

So Thankful!

Halloween this year was quite difficult as I was rather sick! In this photo I was going for Dita's femme fatale look when she parts her hair down the middle, always so fab! My sister and her boyfriend also looked fab at dinner! We all decided to go to Pechanga for dinner, but did not see many people dressed up.

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving I had just finished watching LisaFreemontStreet's hair tutorial on one of Lolita Haze's updos, and so I thought I would give it a try. It did not come out the same, but I think it has a similar look. Everyone (including my picky parents) loved it! I used perm rods on the top layers and some pillow rollers on the bottom and back.

Here is a pic of my vintage inspired manicure I gave myself before I headed off to my Grandmother's. It's by Revlon and has a warm red with gold shimmer in it that can take a reddish-brown huh with warmer clothes or a plum-gold with cooler tones. Quite versatile!

As the evening came to a close at Lauren's parents house, his mom decided I needed a clay facial! Sadly, I soon discovered I forgot to get a pic of me and Lauren on Thanksgiving, oops :(

I really want to find a fab 40s dress in my size and some colorful (hopefully leather) gloves this winter season, what are you looking for?

Movie Night ~ Loney Hearts ~

Lonely Hearts

I watched this movie last night as my mother assured me this was a fantastic film.

Breakdown:

A romancing con artist finds he is in more than he bargains for when he tries to con a can artist (Salma Hayak). The plan was to con women out of their money, but her (Hayak) jealousy gets the better f her, and they soon being a killing spree. Soon they are being chased by a detective (Travolta) after the "Lonely Heart Killers."

I found this movie to be slow and dull due to some of the (IMO) unnecessary scenes involving Travolta. I think the movie could have developed the story without drawing it out so much. The movie is a good (at least) one timer. The clothing is absolute eye candy that will have you searching etsy for some great 40s frocks.

Salma's was a complete femme fatale in this movie, and her outfits were divine. I especially loved her 40s red dress and white suit complete with Cuban Heeled stockings! Sadly, I was unable to find any great pics on the web.

I would give the movie 7/10. The movie was quite interesting to see how women were taken advantage of after their hubbys were killed during the war (WWII), and how con men (and women) used this to their advantage.

The ladies clothes and hair were fantastic (hair-not the best, but decent), and the men weren't too shabby themselves.

The movie can be watched in parts on youtube, found here.

Happy Halloween

Have the most ghoulish evening!
