You are an obsession...you're my obsession

What could it be you ask?
It's ALL THINGS Pin Up! 1950's hairstyles (think barrel curls and victory rolls with fake flowers pinned at the base) and makeup (think heavy black eyeliner that curls into cat eye corners with BIG false eyelashes and bright shiny red lips) and clothes and swimsuits. There is something so understated about the whole look and feel of it...specifically regarding women and their sexuality. Everything wasn't put on display for the whole world to see. I like that so much. I like it so much so that I have begun practicing my hair-do's (and don't in some cases) and getting make-up tutorials online. This sweet gal Kandee has the best tutorials and she is so beautiful. She transforms into each look flawlessly.... http://www.kandeethemakeupartist.blogspot.com/
She even has a JEM look (remember that cartoon junkie 30-somethings???)

So I have not really been one to 'celebrate' Halloween in the past, but this year I am going to find a party to go to so that I can try out my new look. I even bought a dress! Listen, after being fat and miserable for so many years and never wanting to leave the house, I am actually excited to get dressed up and put on make-up and sleeveless clothing again. Even for insignificant little things like Publix and work. I also have a friend who is going to take some pictures...oh the joys to behold! So, needless to say I am totally stoked. I can't wait to post the pictures and get the dresses delivered (not in that order)!!! Stay tuned. More to come.

Love and Hugs...
