Get Bettie Page Hair Easy .. Try the Hairfree brush!

por | | 0 comentarios




Bettie Page Pop Art, Colors Art Print Poster - 24x36When 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.

Bettie Page 12-Month 2011 Wall Calendar - 12x12If 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 Get Bettie Page Hair Easy .. Try the Hairfree brush!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 $15.95 for the round brush and $9.95 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.

Week 9 :: Photo Formula

por | | 0 comentarios

This week's blogging prompt is to talk about the second stage of a project. Since I posted how I start a project here, my next step is photos; so, I thought I'd share a little about my photos and what goes into them.

My photo formula is pretty simple: natural daylight + macro setting + white background + editing. It took a lot of reading and experimenting before I really narrowed what I like, and what I feel shows my pieces the best. Take a look:






























I try to keep everything as simple as possible to keep the focus on my jewelry, and I don't use too many props. The props I do use all serve a purpose - to prop up a necklace, or to show how earrings or a necklace hangs. And I know some people think a white background is too plain, but I really like the reflections and shadows I get on the one I use. Plus, like I said above, it doesn't interfere with the colors of the piece.



So, there you have it. Now, I'd love to know, what's your photo formula?








Footnote:



I don't use my lightbox for finished jewelry anymore, and I'm slowly redoing the last remaining pieces that are shot in my lightbox so all the backgrounds will eventually match.



If you need to use a lightbox, check out Strobist's $10 Macro Photo Studio tutorial to build your own. Do a search on Flickr for lightboxes to get an idea of set ups. You'll want powerful enough daylight light bulbs (I used three 100 watt light bulbs from Home Depot), and I'd also suggest playing around with backgrounds, too. I ended up with a brown background on those photos because, strangely enough, that's the only background that didn't interact with the colors of my jewelry - those colors are as true to life as a monitor will allow.

Tip Share :: How to Add Text to a Photo

por | | 0 comentarios

One thing I love doing is jazzing up my photos with text. Adding text is a basic little action that can be applied to any photo, and help create a variety of things. Taking into consideration that not everyone has or uses the same program, I'm going to show you how to do this using two different programs: Photoshop Elements and Picnik.

Quick note: The photos below are screenshots. To view them bigger, click on them to view the details. I've written tips in pink on the photos to help.


In Photoshop Elements:
If you've never heard of it, Photoshop Elements is an Adobe program designed to help edit photos, and is installed on your computer. I think of it as the baby brother of Photoshop, but it is powerful enough to get the job done and then some. It's also a great alternative to Photoshop's big price tag (especially when you're on a budget). If you'd prefer a free program, check out GIMP - it works in a similar fashion as Photoshop Elements.


1. Open Photoshop Elements, then open your photo and make any adjustments to the brightness, contrast, etc.




2. Select the Text tool from your toolbar (mine is on the left, you may have moved yours around). The Text tool is designated by a T.



3. Place the cursor where you want it, then start typing your text. Don't worry if it's not exactly where you want it to be - you can always move it (see step 5).




4. To make adjustments to the font, highlight the text then go up to the top bar. Underneath the File/Edit/etc. bar will be a horizontal menu with all the text options. Any font you have installed on your computer will show up on the drop-down font menu, and you can make adjustments to the size by selecting one of the standard sizes or by entering your own value. Other things you're used to seeing, like bold, italic, underline, and justification will be there, too.




5. To move your text around, choose the Move tool, which looks like an arrow. A dotted box will appear around your text, and you can click and drag it with your mouse, or nudge it with the arrow buttons on your keyboard.

And you're done! That's it. Just be sure to save it (File > Save).


In Picnik:
Picnik is a web-based photo editing program/site, so there's no need to download anything. It offers both free and paid memberships, and is great if you need occasional photo editing or aren't willing to commit to buying a bigger program yet.



1. Go to www.picnik.com, and upload your photo. Once uploaded, you'll be under the Edit Tab. Make any photo adjustments necessary, and when you're ready, click on the Create Tab.




2. Once under the Create Tab, click the Text button.




3. Type in your text, then hit Add. A pop-up menu will appear. Choose the color and size, and move your text where you want it.




4. You can also change the font from the menu on the left. With Picnik, some fonts are free, others require a paid membership.





5. Once you're happy, click the Save & Share Tab, then save your photo to your computer.


See, that wasn't so bad, was it? Easy, but a good tip to know.

Happy Father's Day.

por | | 0 comentarios




I'm too tired to do the whole rambly-words-and-constructing-coherent-sentences thing right now, so I decided to dig up some old pictures of my dad. Pictures always tell a fun story, and these are some of my favorites from over the years.
Happy Father's Day.
My dad is the little one, in the helmet, who looks like he can barely walk- let alone play football. HIKE!



Happy Father's Day.
My mom has always had a strange affinity for Steve Buscemi. Frankly, I don't see it.



Happy Father's Day.
That's where my twin sister Stevie gets her signature smirk from.


Happy Father's Day.
My dad standing in between his parents in southern California circa 1960-something. Check out my grandma's shift- Lilly Pullitzer, EAT YOUR HEART OUT.


Happy Father's Day.
Giving bunny ears to the bunny. He's also dressed in a near-identical outfit as his brother-in-law. This was the 70's, so we won't ask.


Happy Father's Day.
My mom always jokes that she's pretty sure my dad accidentally switched us a few times when we were little and that I am really Stevie (and Stevie is really me). I'm pretty sure this is the moment it first happened.

Happy Father's Day.
At my wedding reception (2006). I had these guestbook sheets for my guests to fill out, which I later made into a scrapbook. It's still one of my favorite things from my entire wedding, even if my dad did note that the his "favorite memories of the day" was "him coloring in the lines for the first time".

And for me to send him money. Every month. Exclamation point exclamation point.

Happy Father's Day.
Looking at pictures at my wedding reception (2006).

Happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day.
Giving a toast at my wedding reception. He handed me a dollar bill and told me the "Bank of Dad" was now closed. He cried, I cried, and I'm pretty sure he thought I was crying because it was such an endearing speech. But oh no, I was crying over the closing of the Bank of Dad. It still makes me tear up.

(OH GOSH I AM KIDDING, PEOPLE. Bank of My Super Hot and Foxy Husband opened instead. Hee.)

Happy Father's Day.
Snuggling with a leettle chihuahua in a dress. Why not. (2008)


Happy Father's Day.
This will kill him. (2008)


Happy Father's Day.
But it still makes for an awesome picture. (2008)

Happy Father's Day, you big dork. Now you know where I get it from.




(All photos by Stevie, except the really old ones... 'cuz you know, she wasn't exactly alive to take the pictures. Duh. Any questions? Go bother her over at her own website. I don't know who or why or where or how she does it, all I know is she makes 'em look amazing.)

New to the shop :: 11-2-2010

por | | 0 comentarios













A few things listed last week, and a couple of new photos for older listings. I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out, especially the Blush Set - rose quartz is so difficult to photograph! I'm also trying to push to get more things made and listed before the holidays (seriously, how did it get to be November??). Thanksgiving is a few weeks away, and I'm starting to panic.

And before I sign off for the day, I did a (rather lengthy) interview with Jescalyn of PeachHoneyLove. Jess took my Color Rockstar class a couple of months ago, and it's was great to meet her. So, when she asked if I would do an interview, I was super flattered. If you've ever wondered about how I got my start, head on over to her blog!

One of the side effects of the unseasonably cool, damp days that we have been having here in Colorado are the allergies. Sneezy, sniffly, scratchy-eyed allergies. I've found that my Chanel eyeglasses are suddenly getting a lot more action than ever before, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. It is a good thing because I spent too much money to just have them sit like they do, collecting dust. It is a bad thing because I can't see out of them nearly as well as I can see out of my contacts, and oftentimes I will find myself missing steps while going down the stairs and bumping into random things while wearing them.

It also doesn't help that I am almost legally blind (you know the big "E" on the top of the eye chart? YEAH I CAN'T ACTUALLY SEE THAT, I'M JUST GUESSING THAT IT'S THERE) and have astigmatism, but only in one eyeball.

One of the lenses in my eyeglasses curves, the other does not. The difference isn't very noticeable while wearing contacts. When I have my glasses on, however, it's a different story- I suddenly find myself squinting and knocking into things. Or Husband finds me standing in the kitchen, swaying back and forth while looking all suspicious and shifty-eyed out of my right eyeball and going cross-eyed with the other while trying to figure out why the clock on the stove is illegible and slanted strangely towards me. Drinking too many glasses of wine before dinner? No darling readers, it's just astigmatism! Hallucinatory side effect of heavy drug use? Oh no, just good old astigmatism, at it again! Inhaled too much hairspray? Nope, just astigmat- well okay, you've got me there. Never mind.

But why drink and do drugs when you can just have a misshapen cornea and a pair of glasses you hate to wear? Seriously here, teenagers these days have it all wrong. Alllll wrong. Oh, what? What's that you say? Normal people don't have to crawl on the floor to get a glass of water from the kitchen? Huh. I don't know what you're talking about.


I am sure that I could get used to my eyeglasses if I wore them more often, but I refuse and so I just deal with it the best I can whenever my allergies do decide to attack and I can't seem to force my contacts into my crusty, bloodshot eyes. At least the interlocking Chanel "C's" on the side of my frames make me look sophisticated. Yes, I am sure that I look oh-so-very sophisticated while tumbling and tripping like a gomer.

Let's not ever forget, readers- I am a sophisticated tripping gomer with my glasses, and one that also occasionally yelps, "OH FFFFFFFART!" as she goes down.

I mean, for as much as I protest and complain over living in a house that is 98% carpet I am pretty sure that I am going to miss bouncing off of it once we replace it with hardwood floors. I don't think it is quite as easy to bounce off of a wood floor as it is carpet. Something tells me the days of Husband yelling, "TIMBER!!" as I fall down the stairs will be loooong gone; something also tells me that I will no longer be springing up after my fall to give a "TA DA!" with a small curtsy. I still might be able to get up and give a bow, sure- but probably with not nearly as much gusto as I could had carpeting caught my fall.

I simply don't think the bounce-a-bility of hardwood is the same as carpet, and this is something for us to perhaps take into consideration before moving ahead with our extensive home remodel. Make Chloe wear a helmet 24/7 and install slides instead of stairs? Noted.

So! Now that I've held you all hostage while discussing at length about how I'm really a 91-year old trapped into a 27-year old's body (did you ever have any doubt?) I have an announcement to make, ahem:

I have...A GIVEAWAY! It isn't anything huge, but it is something that I am really liking right now. Perhaps you could even say loving.

I am loving the Simply Vera for Vera Wang jewelery line at Kohl's, and I have five of these pretty flower bracelets:

Outfit Of The Day (& A Give A Way)

to give away. Yup, five- so there will be five winners!

Entering is easy- simply leave your name, one (1) thing that you are loving right now (it can be anything- a fashion item, make-up item, TV show, pro-wrestler, Golden girl, alcoholic beverage- whatever!) and an email address so I can contact you in case you win.

You can also receive an additional entry by following me; and you can receive another additional entry if you link back to this contest on your blog. Just use the "trackback" link in my comments section to link this so I can keep track.

AND to make it even more interesting, one of the winners will be the "GRAND PRIZE" winner and get some extra crap I feel like giving away. It will be surprise extra crap, like maybe a pen that Petunia has chewed on! Or maybe even Petunia herself. Or maybe...maybe...even Petunia WITH A PEN!

I'm kidding. Kind of. I almost traded Petunia for a super cute little Chinese baby today SO DON'T MESS WITH ME. This close, Petunia. THISCLOSE.

Contest ends at 12:00pm MT on Friday, August 14th. Good luck my darlings!
