SPT "The Shade" my take

This weeks SPT topic is the third element of summer "shade". When I contemplated this topic the first thing that popped into my brain was a book. Eragon by Christopher Paolini. There is a character in this wonderful book (written by a 15 year old mind you) called "the Shade"his real name is Durza.
Do me a favor, read the book and stay far away from the movie.
It is just too hot to be outdoors period in Vegas. Even in the so called shade its still hot. Our "shade" here, the cooling shade, the escape from the heat kind of shade is simply an air conditioned indoor spot. Like the conservatory at the Bellagio.When I ponder shade in a Vegas summer, I think of curling up on the couch inside my air conditioned home with a great book, and a creepy character called "the Shade".

Mary - I am afraid to log on to your private acct... The email you sent me was an invite to help contribute to your blog. So the first time I didn't read that & after commenting & all that I went back to my blog & saw that your blog was now under my blog too & that I could do anything to your blog if wanted to. Of course I didn't. I figured out how to delete your blog off of mine & now I can't get on it at all.
It really freaked me out & I didn't know what to do!!! So I think you sent me the wrong invitation. I don't want to actually contribute to your blog. Do you get what I mean? Email me again...

Tips by Mary RC, Backcombing like a pro VLOG #01

Image
OKAY how silly was that? I could have dressed up for the occasion, ya think? Also, I think I sound just like those silly teenagers, I'm just too old to act like that. Anywhoo here are my favorite backcombing products I'd like to share with you. Warning I'm a bit old school... Shaper, oh yes what I like to call glorified Aqua Net! I recommend regular Shaper for backcombing, works great the only thing is, if you breathe too much of it your nose hairs stick together and break off. As I said in the vlog, this is one of my new faves, Elnett. You can find it at Target for around $15. What I like about it is that you can comb through it easily if you need to, and I've yet to see flaky build up. And this my friends is what I have deemed the proper backcomb. I buy mine at Sally's beauty supply. They also have them as a full comb without the parting tip, and they're only a few bucks. With this particular style of comb, I find there is less breakage than there is

Fool Who Ripped her Pants..

That's right Sponge Bob, you're not the only one! At some point today at my daughter's Cobra Kid Award assembly I quite possibly may have ripped the seat of my cargo capris. Question is when exactly. See all the parents sit in the back of the multi purpose room (what happened to separate gyms, cafeterias and auditoriums?) When your kid's class is called, that's your Que to get your camera ready because your child is about to receive the coveted Cobra Kid Award. Get your butt up out of your chair and get close (especially if you don't have a super powered lens on your camera, cuz your lucky if you will even be able to catch a decent Kodak moment in the lighting provided by elementary schools). So did it happen before or after I stood up to take pictures of Mr. Newkirk's 4th grade class with my back (and behind) to the gamut of proud parents? Or did it happen at Costco? One can only hope not to see a mother of two arching her back while pushing a heavy laden

Diary of a Makeup Artist #24 - Nothin At All

"Who is your favorite celebrity you've worked with?" This is a question I get asked often. Honestly it makes me uncomfortable because I feel like my favorite isn't the asker's favorite and they're never impressed. Jude Law, Sylvester Stallone, Molly Sims... none hold a candle to "Heart"in my book. I can still remember in the 8 th grade opening a gift that contained a cassette entitled "HEART". This was MY tape, not my dad's L.P. that he would make me a copy of, this was a true cassette with a genuine cover and the songs printed (not handwritten) on the cassette itself. Ooooh see see, the lyrics are written in the jacket, no more rewinding and fast forwarding trying to figure out the words to my favorite songs. And look how cool Ann and Nancy were, I'll be staring at this for hours thank you very much, AND it rocked! Listening to Ann belt out a rockin tune in her amazing crisp and rich voice was not new to me. See my dad Te
