Fotoshop

Yes Fotoshop, not Photoshop.  This video has gone viral.  It's tagline is "this commercial isn't real, neither are society's standards of beauty."  I LOVE photoshop, it is used in amazing and positive ways.  Photoshopping in magazines has gone crazy, though.  This video is a funny take on what is happening and I think using humor to address anything is a nice approach! 

Golden Review

"I have decided to stick with love.  Hate is too great a burden to bear." Martin Luther King, Jr.


Ok, so here are my Golden Globe favorites!

My favorite jewelry was worn by Julianna Margulies.  I loved the odd color combination with her dress...

My favorite makeup was undoubtedly Charlize Theron.  So creamy pinky soft.  

My favorite dress was the Theysken's Theory dress worn by Piper Perabo.  This goes against every opinion I've heard so far!  Regardless, I loved the silver lavender shade, the sweet princess silhouette, and she didn't take it too seriously...

I loved so much of the hair this year.  I have always thought that up do's or style up's should always reflect what is current in hair trends.  Hair is more relaxed now.  So many looks were worn down or more relaxed than in the past and I love it!  As hard as it is to pick just one, my favorite is Charlize Theron.  Soft waves, swept low to the side with a headband.  Perfection.  Here are a few more of my favored looks...

Golden

Oh...  I will post more tomorrow!  I am in the middle of Golden Globe heaven!  I am taking in all of the hair, makeup, clothes, and making notes on which movies I need to watch that I haven't yet.  I am taking notes and I will share my hair favorites!

Fashionable Music

Headphones seem to be all the rage right now.  Celebrities and musicians are designing their own lines, they are becoming a fashion statement.  I think it's hilarious and ridiculous and I'm sure I'll be sporting some blinged-out ear buds at the very least...

Lotus

The symbol of the lotus flower is to bring beauty and light from the murky darkness at the bottom of the pond, for the Lotus flower grows from mud and blossoms as a beautiful, clean flower. 

To parallel one's life, it is to inspire people to continue striving through difficulties and to show their best part to the outside world, no matter how bad the circumstances may be. 

I have been wearing a Lotus flower necklace by Dogeared since July.  Dogeared has a collection of necklaces on string.  You make a wish, wear the necklace, and when the string breaks your wish is said to come true...  My necklace broke after 6 months!  I was starting to worry that I would be the first person to wear a string necklace for a lifetime without breaking!

Here's to wishes coming true...

 

♂ Hair

When a male client sits in my chair and says, "What options do I have?"  A sorrowful look comes across my face...  My answer is usually, "Well, I could cut it short or keep it long."  

There is a bit more to it, but fashion for men seems to last for a few years which leaves fewer choices for men.  In comparison, women's styles change every few months which presents more options.  Here are some current styles I think are great looks for men.
