Retro Livin': Pics from my life

Me as a 1920's brunette up in Cleveland

I went to a burlesque show/ 1920's themed party up in Cleveland this weekend with my friend Adrianne- I decided it'd be fun to be brunette (thanks, wig) and try out a different decade of vintage. These are our backstage pics :)

My First Ever Retro Baking Video!!!

Random Self-Portraits

Me on Valentine's day.
All dressed up and nowhere to go

My first burlesque show: pre-show pics

Well, ok, I was just a go go dancer so there wasn't really skill involved.
These are what I looked like right before I stepped out, I'll put the actual show pictures on here when I get them :)

Makeover: From "Meh" to Dazzling

Want your makeup to last all day? Hair to hold curl? Waist to be tiny?
Read on for my secrets

Me before, not so cute.

Nice, bland face with Mary Kay creme to powder foundation in Ivory 1

Glorious products I will be using
1. Fast Fix Eyeshadow base by Carmindy for Sally Hansen
2. Mary Kay Creme to Powder Foundation in Ivory 1 (not pictured: MK blush in strawberry cream)
3. Revlon 3D extreme mascara
4. Luminizing Face Primer by Carmindy for Sally Hansen
5. Almay Eye Color Enhancer Shadow in Blue
6. Maybelline Lash Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner

Smile when you put on blush so it sits right on the apples of the cheeks

Curl the eyelashes to get an extra "pop" out of your eye makeup

More products:
1.Covergirl Outlast Lip Color
2.Rimmel Light Brown Eye Pencil (for the brows)
3.Random blush & cream shadow I got in LA

For the hair:
I.C.E Styling and Sculpting lotion

Makeups all done and good to go

Time to spray water on the hair to dampen it, then put on the setting lotion so the curl doesn't go flat. Then blow dry it and put the curlers in

Put your hair in hot rollers for about 20 minutes

Sexy, huh? Time to brush these out

With a regular paddle brush, brush the outside and inside of the curls to get that bouncy retro look.

Voila! lovely locks

Time to get dressed now!

So this is the magical undergarments, a push up bra from Victoria's Secret and a 24 inch custom corset I ordered from India that makes my waist crazy small

My favorite, most beautiful skirt from Bettie Page Clothing

The final hair and makeup

And the whole she-bang! ta dah

My own art: "Idle Beauty"

I just realized I never really post my own stuff on here but I should.

Treat for you:



See the rest of my work
