the picnic, the fair, the pool party, the resort... so much to do, so little time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So let's get to it so you can get your buns a movin' on killer summer styles</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that will wow the crowd no matter what venue you choose.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I simply must have one. If you feel my pain, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
prepare yourself for the ultimate fanny pack fix:</div>

You know that feeling we all get from time to time,<br />
like we're so small in the greater scope of it all,<br />
and what we do couldn't possibly make "that much" difference<br />
in the grand scheme of things?<br />
I have a great way for you to get over that feeling right now!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 3rd annual Women Deliver Conference is scheduled to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
take place May 28-30 in Kaula Lumpur, Malaysia,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">to emphasize the importance of women's maternal health,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">as well as women's sexual reproductive health and rights around the world.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
Their aim is to eradicate as many preventable deaths to women and girls<br />
as possible by rallying for resource investments, political commitment, and </div>
<div>
further education to the general public about their program.<br />
And there are several ways for you to get on board<br />
with the cause and do what you can to make a difference:</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

so you can just jump right in head first.</div>

Women in the first world nations </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
benefit greatly from government funded family planning </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
services and hopefully from child care programs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, that doesn't account for 75% of the world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's where Women Deliver comes in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Their plan for saving the lives of women with maternal needs </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and their children is as easy as 1-2-3:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Access to family planning – counseling, services, and supplies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Access to quality care for pregnancy and childbirth</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- antenatal care</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- skilled attendance at birth, including emergency obstetric and neonatal care</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- immediate postnatal care for mothers and newborns</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Access to safe abortion services, when legal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With this 3-step approach,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they are bringing services to women who otherwise </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
could become one of the 287,000 women and girls </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who are killed each year by preventable causes.</div>

The parade is the conceptualization of the Great Dick D. Zigun, founder of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the non-profit art corporation <a href="http://www.coneyisland.com/about-coney-island-usa">Coney Island USA</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Their mission is to "<span style="text-align: left;">defend the honor of American popular culture through innovative exhibitions and performances."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But one of their largest celebrations is in peril!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, again, what is the mermaid parade? Let me quote the source and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hopefully that will paint the picture accurately:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"The Mermaid Parade is the largest art parade in the nation. A celebration of ancient mythology and honky-tonk rituals of the seaside, it showcases over 1,500 creative individuals from all over the five boroughs, opening the summer with incredible art, entrepreneurial spirit and community pride."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This holiday is free of religious, ethnic, or commercial affiliation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"It’s a major New York holiday invented by artists!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I'm a HUGE fan of the arts, festivals, and any combination in between. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Especially when audience participation is encouraged. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">What else would we ladies do with all those pretty costumes and </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">loads of make-up we hoard like treasure trolls?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Maybe that's just me and my girls, but it's never too late to start, ladies!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The Mermaid Parade is one of the best excuses in the nation to get prettied up in a way that would make royalty jealous and disgusted at the same time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">To quote Coney Island USA once more, the festival monumentalizes 3 goals:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"It brings mythology to life for local residents who live on streets named Mermaid and Neptune; it creates self-esteem in a district that is often disregarded as “entertainment;” and it lets artistic New Yorkers find self-expression in public."</span></td></tr>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I awoke this morning to the news that pink hair has officially become the "trend du jour" when I logged into my facebook today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for the update, <a href="http://www.mawi.co.uk/">Mawi</a>, my new fav jewelry designer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(who will soon be featured in another article).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't help but laugh ironically that pink hair has</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
escalated on the trend list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me explain: I've had pink hair three times. Hot pink 12 years ago, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
coral 8 years ago, and baby pink layered with red three months ago (aka now).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's it if you don't count the time 6 years ago when I died my armpit hair pink</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as a somewhat stick-it-to-the-man, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I am Woman, hear me roar" kinda thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But of course now that I've finally come back to it, it's huge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And for once, I'm extremely happy to be mere moments ahead of my time, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because I have some super hot shares for you</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when it comes to pink hair!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the quote that got my attention this morning from Mawi:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Think Pink! Celebrities have been rocking pink hair for years </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it has now become the hottest trend du jour."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm in! Care to join me?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want pink locks, there are two options in my book:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Real or fake?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you with day jobs, you're in luck!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You don't have to go through multiple bleaching ('cause with pink, it pretty much has to be white)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or get a lecture from your boss. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll still make it if you fake it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Let's talk for a sec about bleach. If you're doing a darker pink, this will be less important.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For paler shades, this is of utmost importance, unless you want sherbet hair.</div>

Use Kaleidacolors to address your specific color needs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may need to bleach your hair more than once. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just went from red to white, so it can be done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DON'T OVER DO IT BY LEAVING IT ON LONGER THAN RECOMMENDED.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do it in stages, following the instructions each time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Test your hair strands after each bleaching. If they are stretchy, you're done for a few days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bad color is nothing compared to NO HAIR.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Follow the directions and everything will be fine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Start with the blue or neutral. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blue removes orange tones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Natural hair bleachs much faster than previously dyed,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so your roots may end up white while the rest puts up the fight of a lifetime.<br />
If you can't wait a day to get your hair lighter, at least deep condition before bleaching again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you still have orange after the first go 'round, then you may need to go with Blue again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have only yellow left, switch to Violet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Violet removes yellow tones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good stuff, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're platinum blonde after one go, curse your virgin locks,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you're ready to pick your pink!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Made in the Shade</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could go on for days about colors and shades, but I'd still be leaving stuff out.</div>

If you need a default setting, go with <a href="http://www.manicpanic.com/">Manic Panic</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They've been around the longest, and are known for not</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dying the hell out of your </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
skin, shower, and pillowcase. That's a big plus in the world of temporary dye.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would still proceed with caution when wearing white.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be specific for those seeking the perfect baby pink, however.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My lastest, and possibly greatest, undertaking in the pink spectrum.</div>

It's easy to get a vibrant hot pink, but pale pink can be tricky.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It may come off strong at first, but fades down to a pretty pink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the initial fade, it's staying power is quite remarkable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To avoid getting to bright a pink, leave it on for half the recommended time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But if you want it to be around for awhile, it's worth the wait that it takes to fade.</div>

I can't help but feel like a vintage pin-up girl with a flower in my hair.</div>

plain and simple sexy.</div>

Hope you enjoyed my post on more things to make pink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one particularly excites me because it's a sign of things to come in the style sphere.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The blossoming of pink hair to the forefront of fashion can only mean that we are on the verge of the resurgence of roccoco style. So make sure to check back for an update within the month on just that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll pull out the big guns on a fashion storm I've been anticipating for a good few years now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And mark my words, I am relentlessly prepared for it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you were expecting a fight to the death, with chainsaws and axes blazing<br />
between these two femme figurines,<br />
with the victor standing over her slain opponent that now resides as a pile of toothpicks,<br />
I'm sorry to break the news that my intentions are far from that fate for either<br />
of these inspiration-filled creations.<br />
<br />
I'm cashing in my cute card with this one.<br />
<br />
As a girl, I grew up with a whole slew of dolls in my toy chest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went through many phases, but the ones that never lost their intrigue<br />
were my Matryoshka and my Kokeshi.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was hooked from the very beginning...<br />
and as it would seem, I am far from alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">In the past few years, these dolls have gone from children's play toys, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">to </span>cult obsession, to fine art and high fashion!!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who knew two tiny wooden dolls could make such a massive impact.<br />
And, for some reason, both are of the wooden variety.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Kokeshi and The Matryoshka:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically, these two distinctive dolls graced the presence of humankind about<br />
150 to 200 years ago.</div>

Mostly, they have been sold over the years as emblematic and interesting souvenirs. It didn't take them long to gain world-wide popularity, however, prompting a sense of nostalgia in the young and young-at-heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Appealing to our child-like awe for all things exotic, and of course cute, they have been adopted as collectibles by adults and children alike, some costing a very pretty penny.</div>

And the interpretation keeps progressing in the modern era,<br />
making it quite a challenge to narrow it all down.<br />

If you wish to look deeper than the frosting and frills,<br />
read the description by the artist in the first link above.<br />
The paradox within the subject matter blatantly implies that there is a deeper meaning to these pieces.<br />
That fact is driven home with deadeye precision when you analyse the works as a whole,<br />
especially the one's that read, "Congratulations Bashar Al-Assad" and "Best Wishes Los Zetas."<br />

Guess what peeps?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I survived the most recent apocalypse, and though it may seem like I fell head first into the Bermuda Triangle, it's not far from the truth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm right on the bottom corner, in fact. And I'm finding out Island Time is a very real thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm hoping the old saying, "Better late than never" still applies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Valentine's to all the world's migrating Love Birds!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a mix to rock with your sweetie, or while you primp and powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just for good measure, I didn't leave the Valentine's Day Massacre-istas out:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Skip the last song if your fire burns for your fella', or femme fatale,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'cause the last one is reserved for the furious foes of this cuddle-icious occasion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Got to be all inclusive, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Believe it or not, Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays,</div>
<div class="_8t_embed_p" style="line-height: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="_8t_embed_p" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 12px;">when solo, to decimate, when enamored, to celebrate.</span></div>
<div class="_8t_embed_p" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 12px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="_8t_embed_p" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 12px;">So trust: I am givin' myself a swift kick in the derrière for the point-blank fire of this posting.</span></div>
<div class="_8t_embed_p" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 12px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="_8t_embed_p" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 12px;">But I just made my plans this morning, and I'm going for it anyway.</span></div>
<div class="_8t_embed_p" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 12px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="_8t_embed_p" style="text-align: center;">
If your still searching for some last-minute inspiration,</div>
<div class="_8t_embed_p" style="text-align: center;">
lock your sites on this and put on your crafty </div>

Loading... cocking... BAM!<br />
Finally, on to the next round.<br />
Sorry to keep you ladies in waiting, but sifting through ALL one's earthly possessions is<br />
no small order.<br />
I'm forcing myself to chisel out a chunk of time for this next topic,<br />
which is of dire importance, especially before Black Friday descends upon us and creates a<br />
Zombie hoard that hungers for sales as though it were a matter of life or death!<br />
If you are among this massive gathering of consumerists, I'm not hatin' on ya.<br />
But, I want to put this out there before you feel a massive pull on your wallet.<br />
Maybe I can appeal to your heartstrings and give them a tug in the other direction.<br />
<br />
There is a much more urgent congregation of citizens that need $20 more than Uncle Elmer needs another pair of Santa Socks.<br />
<br />
Homelessness is at an all time high in the US with the devastated economy,<br />
and worldwide it is an issue beyond comprehension!<br />
Among the homeless are growing numbers of Women and Children,<br />
50% of whom are fleeing domestic abuse, and other's who have simply had their veritable<br />
woven-fabric-of-life rug pulled out from under them. Just how urgent am I talking here?<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />
The statistics of homelessness on a Global scale are stifling:<br />

<br />
These organizations focus on Families, Women and Children who have found themselves in the ultimate of unfortunate conditions. Within their sites, you can find ways to help,<br />
from donating to volunteering:<br />

If you've ever had a hard time being grateful for the cards you've been dealt in life,<br />
VOLUNTEER TODAY!<br />
I think my most valuable life lessons have been gained from<br />
buying a homeless person a cup of coffee, and listening to their life story.<br />
How they still have a sense of humor through all that life has thrown their way, I don't know, but some of them are the most interesting and inspiring people on the planet.<br />
The World Cup agrees, and is a key player in fighting for the people:<br />
<a href="http://www.homelessworldcup.org/">Homeless World Cup</a><br />
<br />
And speaking of planet, if you're feeling extra adventurous and need a true revelation,<br />
volunteering abroad will open up your crown chakra in a whole new way.<br />
You may have noticed these listings in my random rounds, but today they deserve a spotlight:<br />

You will discover a whole new world, and a whole new you, in one go!<br />
<br />
If you don't have the time to volunteer, you may also think you don't have the money.<br />
But, you can donate anything from $5 to $50,000 dollars to most organizations.<br />
As many have said before me, sacrifice one Starbucks, feed one who is starving.<br />
<br />
I love this organization, because it lets you single out exactly where your money is focused, and it doesn't take much to make a big difference in someone's life:<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.seva.org/site/PageServer">Seva Foundation</a><br />
<br />
On the other hand, this organization let's you single out a person or family in need, but you go beyond a one time donation to helping them start a business of their own.<br />
This goes into the "teach them how to fish" category, and can make a world of difference<br />
around the globe. It's a gift that literally keeps on giving:<br />

<a href="http://www.kiva.org/">Kiva - Loans That Change Lives</a><br />
<br />
There are tons of ways to contribute to those in need, as you can see above.<br />
<br />
But, I mentioned a Radical Idea for Holiday Charity in the title.<br />
If that caught your attention, then that's all I wanted.<br />
While these take some guts to do,<br />
they stay within the confines of what is safe and expected.<br />
<br />
I had a radical idea, but as it turns out, it is too radical.<br />
However, I can't just lead you on like that and still sleep at night,<br />
so "Don't Try This At Home".<br />
<br />
My idea was to hand out Santa Costumes to the Homeless.<br />
Crazy, I know.<br />
But I used to live in Downtown LA very near Skid Row, and as I mentioned, most of the Homeless people I've talked to have a very good sense of humor.<br />
I was thinking, Pros:<br />
1) They would have something warm to wear.<br />
2) They could probably earn more money for themselves.<br />
3) Smiles for everyone! You can't be sad while wearing a Santa suit.<br />

<br />
And just imagine what SantaCon would be like this year!<br />
<br />
But, eventually the Cons caught up to me:<br />
1) I do not want to compete with the Salvation Army. They do really good work!<br />
2) Someone is going to think this is NOT funny at all, and perhaps insulting.<br />
(once again, this doesn't include my comrades in Downtown)<br />
3) With the price of one Santa Costume, you could feed 10 Homeless people!<br />
<br />
So, it doesn't fly, but it was fun to think about while it lasted.<br />
<br />
Even still, there stands the fact that no one can help but smile at Santa.<br />
So, if you are planning on volunteering, especially for a children's charity,<br />
why not switch the roles around?<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did you smile? Yeah, ya did! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Share those smiles, since laughter is the best medicine. It's a universal truth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was quite the challenge to find a Well Priced and Non-Sexy Pink Santa Suit, BTW.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So take advantage, because there is no dress code for entertaining at a soup kitchen, but I certainly would not recommend anything sexy. That would just be tasteless and humiliating, for you.</div>
Not to mention, Rockin' the Bearded Lady look is totally in this season ;)<br />
<br />
On that note, I'm off to the Salvation Army myself to donate three huge boxes of warm clothes and items I will not be needing for my move. I trust they will find their rightful place in the world.<br />
Spring cleaning comes early for this chick.<br />
<br />
While you ponder the above propositions, let Louis lighten the mood for you.<br />
Then you can figure out where your Santa-like service would be<br />
best suited for this Holiday season:<br />

Ever felt like doing this to your brand new ID as soon as that nice crisp envelope you've been so anxiously awaiting arrives, then you gasp in horror when what's lurking inside sees the light of day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There have been a couple times that I was honestly surprised the picture didn't burst into flame upon contact with real sunlight.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you find yourself in a constant position of needing to verify that you are you, but the you on the ID card photo is not at all the you you want to show off, I have some great news for you.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm carrying out a promise I made in a previous post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While renewing all of my licenses, passport, and other various documentation in prep for my move, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I attempted the impossible:<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Taking a GOOD Driver's License and Passport Photo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guess what? Turns out it's not impossible!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just had to do a tiny bit of home work, and a smidgen of artistry on my end</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Blamo! I'm not going to be so shy when it comes to flashing this puppy around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here are the best finds I stumbled upon in my research portion of this application.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Simple and straight-forward advice, I used a ton of tips from this article.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found it unimportant to spend too much time worrying about what to wear,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
since today's photos are far more close and personal than they've been in the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, if you feel good, you look good, so from that perspective, dress it up to your heart's content.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whitening your teeth prior: Hell yes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hadn't planned on flashing a toothy grin in the beginning, but since everything I read</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
recommended it, I bit the bullet, and despite my extremely angular features, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it definitely brightened up the pic in the end. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In such a small shot, it doesn't matter if you think a smile is flattering or not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The proof is in the pudding, and if I can pull it off, so can you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tips 3-8 are just plain and simple essentials. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wash and style hair to your liking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wear heavier make-up that accentuates your features (i.e. eyebrows, eyes, and lips for sure).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Earrings were a good idea, and I did it, but they kinda got lost in my hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
People may gawk and stare as you primp yourself up in a public office, but you probably won't be seeing them again, so get over it. You're the one who reaps the benefits, after all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pressed powder is a major plus, especially if you're a bit oily. Just don't go overboard!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You don't want to see the powder in the photo; that's just embarrassing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turning your shoulders to a slight angle is very flattering.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, #9 is a variable to me. I have a long face and wanted my eyes to pop,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I went with a chin down, looking up approach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also have a very long neck, so I wanted to tone it down a few notches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want to slim your face, push your chin forward and up slightly to give more definition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It also gives the look of a longer neck. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Play around with your posturing in the mirror and try to commit it to muscle memory before your get the "deer in the headlights" experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#10: Smile, even if you doubt you should. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And even though #11 provides a great idea for how not to blink, you can always request a redo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact, demand it if you have to!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got a few helpful hints from this video as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This gal is so Hollywood it almost hurts (not an insult, it takes one to know one ;).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love some of her suggestions, her enthusiasm, and the "ovarios" it takes to shoot a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
video in the middle of any LA DMV. Bravo, Senorita!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing not stressed enough in the first article listed, but mentioned in this vid:<br />
<u>CONTOURING!</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pardon my inner Valley Girl for a moment, but OMG, contouring changes everything!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My face has some sharp and broad features, that if incorrectly lit, make me look</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(well, I'll be nice) not so pretty. And they use such a harsh flash, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it makes you look two dimensional.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unless... you contour those features to add shadow where in nature there should be some.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
For instance, I have a prominent nose, high cheek bones and a strong jawline. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have a problem with that until I get to the DMV. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But this time, I added light shadow to the sides of my nose,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DID NOT contour my cheekbones because they are already very well defined, but DID contour my jawline including my chin, fading it in from sides to center.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all these things in mind, look at your own photo and figure out what requires the makeover:<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What features do you want to stand out more?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What features do you want to stand out less?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It comes down to three musts in the end:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Outline, Highlight, and Shade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, and bust out the powderpuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess if would be kinda vague of me not to show you a before and after, eh?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, if you've read all this you've earned it... I won't hold out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may have to quickly avert your eyes so you don't have nightmares.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is before:</div>

My pallet will not match yours exactly, so go with colors that flatter your skin type and tone.<br />
Final notes:<br />
1) You can't go wrong with the recommendations for the eyes.<br />
2) Always go a shade or two lighter than your natural brow color.<br />
3) Go for a bright but natural look for blush, and go just a few shades darker for your contouring color.<br />
4) For almost everyone, a dark pink lip looks great on camera.</div>

When I brought up this post to my boyfriend, smart-ass that he is and I love him for it,<br />
he said,"Isn't vanity one of the seven deadly sins?" in jest of course.<br />
But I still had a retort: "Yes, vanity is... but artistry is considered spiritual and even divine in most cultures, and I haven't seen any rules or regulations about what you decide your canvas is."<br />
He liked it, and either way, I'm sticking to my guns on that opinion.<br />
<br />
So in the name of ART: Go get yo-self a pretty picture.<br />
Beauty is not a crime ;)</div>

Winter is a-movin' up slowly,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and soon might just be creeping in to chill you to the bone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't be caught uncovered! Cocoon yourself in some stylish gear that</div>

This is more of a chilly mix that might just warm you up by the time it's through.</div>

Lovin' these!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be properly prepared for your battle against the elements:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hoods, check.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zippers, check.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Belts, check.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Impermeable layers of protection that maintain smokin' style, check check.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A veritable fortress against the elements, nothing's going to get to you unless you want it to. Except for the glares of jealousy these may inadvertently inspire. </div>

I Must Be Dreaming...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being raised in a hunting family, I enjoy a good day of shooting as much as the next gal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But guns are loud, ammo is getting pricey, and sometimes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you're just not in the mood for the heavy kick-back of a rifle or 9mm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite alternative:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Crossbow, of course.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only are crossbows highly effective for their intended purpose:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
taking down large game, hitting a dead-on bulls-eye on target,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the added bonus of reusable ammo (as long as you're a strait shooter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and don't bend your bolts):</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They're also just frankly fun and easy to shoot!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now there's a whole new line of them on the market designed specifically for women.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fit for smaller hands, with easy pull back, you no longer have to rip your rotator cuff</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
trying to pull back on these babies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take a look, and see if you don't drool over these:</div>

Petty in Pink, and powerful to boot:</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
People don't often think about crossbows as good home defense,</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and sure, having a gun locked and loaded is quite effective,</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but these can be just as intimidating, and if they can take down a buck, well,</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
need I say more?</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For instance, in case of a Zombie Apocalypse, you might be out of luck </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when it comes to acquiring ammo,</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but with a crossbow, all you need to make sure of is that you have plenty of bolts, </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and keep track of them.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, you may think I'm a nut basket for even suggesting a Zombie Invasion,</div>
</div>

A word from their sight about how they are aiming for a cure:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"For 2012, Mathews continues their participation by donating a portion of the proceeds from each the Pink Lemonade Genesis, Electric Pink Ignition, Passion and Jewel towards Aiming For a Cure and the fight against breast cancer. Mathews’ involvement was inspired by the 2007 NASP National Champion Morgan Floyd’s story of her mother’s battle with breast cancer. Since 2008 the World’s Largest Bow Manufacturer has donated approximately $150,000 to the noble cause. “Impact is one of Mathews’ core values and we are proud to be able to support this great cause and we will continue doing so with every pink bow sold. For the female archers choosing pink, you cannot only be proud that you shoot Mathews but also that you have helped people in need simultaneously,” said Matt McPherson, Founder and CEO of Mathews Inc."</div>

Now you have an even better reason to join the pink bow sisterhood ;)</div>

To my beloved Vegan Vixens, I admire your vigilance and valor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, if you're on the hardcore veggie wagon, you may want to get off at this stop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I certainly don't want to upset anyone's appetite.</div>

So I mentioned I'm from a hunting family, and while at present I don't participate in the hunt as predominantly as in my younger days, I still love to practice. If I'm ever stranded in the wilderness, I can hold my own, and be responsible for my survival, granted I have the right material.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Dedication:<br />
As an extension to my own Dia de los Muertos celebration,<br />
I'd like to take a moment to memorialize my sharp-shooting grandmother,<br />
from whom I inherited every badass bone in my body:<br />
The Late and Great, Esther Otten.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Not only was she a surgical nurse and a pilot for Search and Rescue, who barrel-rolled her plane in mid-air. She is legendary in my family for taking down two bucks on one of her first hunting trips. In another hunting escapade, while in the company of five men, she was the only one to come home with anything to show for it,<br />
and her trophy from that day became the bear-skin rug on her bedroom floor.<br />
She made the local paper's front cover twice, once for the bear, and another time for wrestling an armed robber out of her house bare-handed. Besides being a spot-on marksman,<br />
she set quite the example to all the women in my family.<br />
She always dressed like a lady and wore dresses, not what you'd expect in this day and age.<br />
However, she gave a new meaning to the term "bear-hug" just to make sure that we all knew how happy she was to see us. And that's an "ouch" we all fondly remember.<br />
She toughened us up pretty good.<br />
Thanks and Love Eternal, Grandma!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
On that note, I got a kick out of this next video, from Mathews, and I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy.</div>

You'll LOL because either:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting decked to the nines is great for one impressive evening,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but coating your face in makeup can have some unwanted repercussions </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when you awake the next morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you find an unexpected ghoul in the mirror where your reflection used to be, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your skin will be in need of a serious </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rever-upper to get your gorgeous glow back for the land of the living.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Exorcise that unhallowed spirit back to where it came from:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Makeup Removal</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As obvious as this may be, you don't want to forget to thoroughly remove all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that remains of your makeup.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plenty of spendy products are on the market, and if you have a weapon of choice,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fire away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I dare you to try this:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use your expensive makeup remover as prescribed and then</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
go to your kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grab your Olive Oil and go over your face again by applying a splash to a cotton pad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Feel a bit of a gag coming on from how much stuff was still left over?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bet you do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweet Almond and Olive Oil are the best and the cheapest ways to remove </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
every unwanted particle of powder and paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They work wonders on removing stubborn eye makeup and mascara.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And believe it or not, even oily complexions will reap the benefits without the breakout.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For a pristine clean, you're going to have to get out the grinder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A fine scrub that can get deep into pores will do you best.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't usually have the patience, but the difference this will make is gargantuan!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heat some water on the stove until it's steaming nicely, not boiling (you don't want burns)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put it in a nice wide bowl on a table you can sit at,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
put a towel over the bowl and put your head under the towel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, remain hunched over the bowl while coughing on steam for about 10 minutes.</div>

To make it a bit more pleasant, you can add essential oils of Lavender, Tea Tree, Peppermint,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Lavender is calming and soothing to you and your skin,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tea Tree is a great antibacterial, Peppermint is refreshing and improves circulation, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Eucalyptus opens the pores and sinuses, so grab some Kleenex.</div>

Big ++s to steaming your face:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>It drains impurities from your pores like nothing else.</li>
<li>It rehydrates your skin.</li>
<li>It increases circulation and preps your skin to absorb nutrients.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make sure your oils measure up to restoration standards. For the utmost quality:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

it's still craving and make your choice from there.</div>

And what ever you do, don't make your eyes jealous.<br />
They need extra love no matter who you are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Same applies as above: Observe, Orient, Decide, and Acquire.</div>

All of these lovely skin-amins are also available @ <a href="http://www.vitacost.com/">VitaCost.com</a></div>

I just love a good deal for a superior product, don't you?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Moisturize for the Prize</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even after you put on the serum and think your good to go, it will only go so far if you don't seal it in with a protective layer of moisturizer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But in this application, your skin still needs to catch its breath after being smothered in powder, paint and other various costume primers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anything brightening or hydrating is recommended to complete the overhaul effectively.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use what you've got in a lighter dose, or go for the gold:</div>

Rich in vitamins with an extra brightening boost from real pearl powder (used for centuries by asian royalty), and tremella mushroom extract, this is my absolute #1 in skin replenishment and recovery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Buy it retail for a good $50, or once again, heed my advice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get it for almost half the retail price: <a href="http://www.vitacost.com/mushroom-wisdom-aquamella">VitaCost</a> is bomb!!</div>

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm preparing for the biggest move of my life,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so from now until New Year's (since I'm flying out on Xmas Eve),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be taking some time to reload between rounds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm renewing my license and passport (more on that later), getting my dog a puppy passport,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and liquidating almost all of my earthly possessions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all, you can't take it with you, can you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On that note, I hope your hunger has been satiated with enough Halloween Eye-candy for now,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because I want to move on to a traditional holiday that's just as fun and festive,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with just enough frightening and freaky:</div>

This holiday has been largely misunderstood as being a cult celebration of death, but the beautiful juxtaposition is that it's the celebration of the life of the people who have crossed over to the other side, and a day when they are honored by the living, who decorate their graves with marigolds, their favorite foods, and other gifts to the dead.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter how you look at it, the visual spectacle is undeniably vivacious!</div>

One important point to take note of: Día De Los Muertos is not Mexican Halloween.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That would be el Día De Los Brujas, which you can check out too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Día De Los Muertos is a traditional Aztec Holiday which was celebrated </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3000 years before the conquistadors invaded and tried to eradicate the holiday completely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the old Aztec spirits die hard, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or hardly at all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This Holiday's scenes and symbolism have infiltrated the hearts of millions,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it's no longer solely celebrated in Mexico, but within many states in the US, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and its art is receiving worldwide recognition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are similar celebrations that have been observed in countries and <span style="text-align: left;">continents</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
such as Spain and Brazil, and similarly themed celebrations take place in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Asia, Europe and Africa as well.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Honoring the deceased is not so esoteric after all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, the symbolism of Mexico's Day of the Dead is as </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
unique and individualized as it gets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to mention indisputably colorful and fantastical!</div>

In ancient times, the aztecs kept skulls as trophies to symbolize death and rebirth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The modern sugar skull is a mild and almost endearing representation of this ancient practice,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<u>"The Lady of the Dead" aka The Catrina</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another common visual that you will see in sculptures, painting and prayer flags is the Lady of the Dead, now known as the Catrina.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the original Aztec ceremonies, which lasted for a month (not just November 1 and 2)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this was the Goddess Mictecacihuatl for whom the festival was dedicated. Also know as "Guardian of the Bones, "her role is to keep watch over the bones of the dead, and is said to be the spirit of a girl who was sacrificed as an infant. She is believed to preside over the ceremony to this day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Catrina has become the modern interpretation of the The Lady of the Dead,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and has become a subject of infatuation among many painters dating back to the turn of the 20th century to the present.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One such artist is Jose Guadelupe Posada. His images dating back to the early 1900's have been engrained into the minds of many.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
"La Catrina," the illustration of the high society woman is one of Posada's most highly regarded pieces. It's also one of the most recognizable image of the Día de los Muertos celebration.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Posada's best known works are his calaveras, which often assume various costumes, such as the Calavera de la Catrina, the "Calavera of the Female Dandy," which was meant to satirize the life of the upper classes during the reign of Porfirio Díaz. Most of his imagery was meant to make a religious or satirical point. Since his death, however, his images have become associated with the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos, the "Day of the Dead".</div>

If that title grabbed your Attention, Good!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've got an important topic to discuss, Wo-mano a Wo-mano:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and on the 1st I posted some amusing and fashion-forward finds to get you into the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
spirit of contribution.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Think Pink Day is still going off worldwide,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so if you haven't missed the date in your area, it's time to Think Pinker!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going with the facts today! The Research is coming at'cha!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So just pretend that this pink ribbon is your face, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I can put the facts right at front and center:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Don't worry! Your quest for Knowledge will be rewarded in the end,<br />
but you better read this first!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Statistics</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This info is straight from <a href="http://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/understand_bc/statistics">BreastCancer.org</a>, and gives you an idea<br />
should the question come up,"What are the odds?"</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">About 1 in 8 U.S. women (just under 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #111111;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">About 39,520 women in the U.S. were expected to die in 2011 from breast cancer, though death rates have been decreasing since 1990 — especially in women under 50. These decreases are thought to be the result of treatment advances, earlier detection through screening, and increased awareness.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #111111;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #111111;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women. Just under 30% of cancers in women are breast cancers.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #111111;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">From 1999 to 2005, breast cancer incidence rates in the U.S. decreased by about 2% per year.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #111111; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">In 2011, there were more than 2.6 million breast cancer survivors in the US.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #111111;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">As you can see the vast efforts are paying off. It's getting better all the time!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #111111;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">But the risks still exist, so make sure you know what precautions you need to take.</span></span></div>

<u>Myths</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ever played an long Game of Telephone?? Well, you might be feeling like you have been the whole time when you let these demystified myths clear the blurb.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just because your best friend, your mama, or your mama's mama says so,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doesn't mean it's True.</div>
<br />
For a broader reality check, go to <a href="http://pinkribbon.org/BreastCancer/BasicInformationaboutBreastCancer/BreastCancerMyths/tabid/429/Default.aspx">PinkRibbon.org</a>, but here a few to chew in the meantime...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipDsWm6QkhyphenhyphenIM0SCfpGqG1HzPBUJzHz46055huFXFhvuDdthWt6jy-Yis3LAJBn0RN0JxOGcSUTXAwiXd69CxR20XcqbyqzqiUui76Xb7OXXndnFxPOEbXhMgUB-FaIlMLoJh26IRTWQg_/s1600/WOTP1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipDsWm6QkhyphenhyphenIM0SCfpGqG1HzPBUJzHz46055huFXFhvuDdthWt6jy-Yis3LAJBn0RN0JxOGcSUTXAwiXd69CxR20XcqbyqzqiUui76Xb7OXXndnFxPOEbXhMgUB-FaIlMLoJh26IRTWQg_/s1600/WOTP1.jpeg" /></a></div>
Myth 1 — Having a risk factor for breast cancer means you'll develop the disease.<br />
<br />
No risk factor either alone or in combination with others means you'll definitely get breast cancer. There are various factors that may increase your risk of developing the disease. Some of these appear to increase your risk only slightly.<br />
<br />
Myth 2 — If there is no breast cancer in your family, then you're not at risk for the disease.<br />
<br />
Every woman is at risk for breast cancer. So are some men!<br />
About 85 percent of women who develop the disease don't have a family history. That's why it's important for all women to get screened regularly.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb2Czs0Quj5MKiOfRwlZyod-nMEm37hqxAu8MoxCfRL6KzSiyp-qmkrBedBLf9AK2Qdf6XtqelcJM8m7JProIYm4XZ4l3qgTaBGvomr55jykRBvAL9StH_npIK_t9ny2jg_Q2jwuKKhcJS/s1600/WOTP8.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb2Czs0Quj5MKiOfRwlZyod-nMEm37hqxAu8MoxCfRL6KzSiyp-qmkrBedBLf9AK2Qdf6XtqelcJM8m7JProIYm4XZ4l3qgTaBGvomr55jykRBvAL9StH_npIK_t9ny2jg_Q2jwuKKhcJS/s200/WOTP8.jpeg" width="135" /></a><br />
Myth 3 — Breast cancer is passed only from your mother, not your father.<br />
<br />
We now know that breast cancer genes can be inherited from your dad's side of the family. So ask relatives about cases on both sides and in both men and women.<br />
<br />
Myth 4 — No matter what your risk factors are, you really don't have to worry about breast cancer until you're through menopause.<br />
<br />
The odds of getting the disease do increase as you age. But breast cancer can occur at any age. That's why all women need to be vigilant. Though experts recommend yearly mammograms starting at age 40, your doctor may suggest that you start even earlier if you have a family history of breast cancer at a young age.<br />
<br />

Myth 5 — Wearing a bra or using antiperspirants and deodorants increases your risk of breast cancer.<br />
<br />
These are two Internet rumors that never seem to quit.<br />
<br />
Myth 6 — If you have small breasts, you're much less likely to get breast cancer.<br />
<br />
Size doesn't matter. Anyone with<br />
breasts can get it.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a new hero, and she is a 14 year old Pakistani girl named Malala Yousafzai.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since the age of 11, she has been actively exposing the ban on education for girls and closing of girl's schools set in place by the Taliban in her region, the Swat valley, to the BBC and New York Times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Earlier today, The Taliban sought out this young and courageous activist by name while she was riding home in a school bus. They proceeded to shoot her in the head, and wounded</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
two other girls in the brutal attack.<br />
<br />
<div>
She survived the bullet wound, and her surgery was just reported to be a success.</div>
<div>
The bullet has been removed and she is in stable condition!</div>

What kind of coward do you have to be to find a teenage girl who values her education<br />
so threatening that it becomes necessary to shoot her, unarmed, riding home on a school bus<br />
filled only with other teenage girls?<br />
That's some extremely cowardly terrorism if you ask me.</div>

The world of fairy-tales brings a sense of nostalgia and warmth to any child-like soul...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wait a minute: Fairy-tales Warm and Fuzzy?!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<u>Lil' Red Riding Hood (and the big bad wolf)</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 'hidden' moral of this tale quite frankly pisses me off:<br />
A young helpless girl ventures thoughtlessly into the deep dark forest packing nothing but some snacks for her grandma. Her grandmother, deceived by the wolf, is eaten, and then when she arrives she is also deceived by the wolf and if it weren't for the strapping young lad with an axe, they would have been most assuredly doomed!<br />
Women are not that dumb and helpless!<br />

<u>Cinderella Goes Punk</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
This girl had a pretty rough up-bringing, so it's only natural that she would<br />

Embrace the moment she pulls it off and dumps her only known dance partner-to-date: the broom.<br />
This former outcast is heading for the fast lane, and in a hurry!<br />

Now you strut you're stuff like the<br />
newly crowned queen!<br />
<br />
And don't Forget to give mad props to your Fairy Godmother.<br />
She's given you a<br />
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,<br />
so don't squander<br />
a single minute!!<br />
<br />
Problem with most deals that are<br />
too good to be true:<br />
There's always a catch!<br />

<br />
Get in there buns a blazin',<br />
and make that first impression last<br />
long beyond the party's expiration date!<br />
<br />
Time is of the essence, and Yours has arrived, in a Golden Carriage none-the-less!<br />

People often forget that the 20's marks America's First Sexual Revolution. Women started applying makeup in public, wearing dresses that just barely brushed the knee, and cut their hair short like the men. That may not seem as outrageous as burning bras to us now, but way back then, it was absolutely scandalous!!</div>

Zelda Scott Fitzgerald was a notorious rule-breaker in the 20's. She pushed past the norm by riding on the top of taxis and bathing in public fountains. She found ways to have fun even when there was none.<br />
<br />
She was also noted for partying like the boys,<br />
and it wasn't out of her scope to put on her partner's jacket<br />
from time to time.<br />

Miss Josephine Baker was a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cutting-edge </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Black French<br />
performer who never let the </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
get in her way, 30 years before the Civil Rights Movement!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She often entertained guests in the nude, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had a menagerie </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of pets,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and was rumored </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to keep goldfish </div>

in her bidet.</div>

Clara Bow was the classic cutie of the era.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you know Betty Boop, meet her in the flesh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is the main inspiration for the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
character after all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clara wasn't your typical goody-two-shoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's the one for whom the term <i>IT Girl </i>was coined,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and was considered the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
leading sex symbol in her day.</div>

Time to time-travel further back: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just for the record, history has been corrected. She did not say "Let them eat Cake" after all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But if I were her I would have, and then I would have had meat-pies and scrumptious pastries delivered door-to-door.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But besides all that, this is a lady whose decadence broke a whole country, from throwing lavish parties to dying her sheep daily to match her gown, </div>

as she played in her specially made village where she </div>

Unlike most Fairy-Tales, I think we all know this Princess Story didn't have a happy ending. All that Glitz and Glamour got this gal the Guillotine!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dress it up or dress it down, get some creative license going and make this spoiled siren all your own.</div>

Personally, I'm Loving the Macabre approach to this Material Girl!<br />
That is what Halloween's all about, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I might just pair that tee with a corset, a cage skirt, some frilly shoes and call it fabulous and mildly frightening!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Of course, burlesquing it out is never a bad idea either ;)</div>

A good skin-care regimen is essential to any glamor girl,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but you're lips need extra love to keep on giving you a luscious pucker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lips lack sebaceous glands, which help moisturize the skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's why they dry out so easily.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

check out this link to find out the details of how the skin </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on your lips differs from the rest of your body.</div>

I'm a lip balm junkie, and proud of it! If my lips feel even moderately dry, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bust out my parch-prevention so fast the elements don't even stand a chance!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With that in mind, it's been a life-long search for the best protection out there, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and what I've found is protection is not enough! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

One last word on balms: Petroleum-based products do not nourish your lips, they just seal in the moisture that is already there. Plus they affect the melanin production over time, which ultimately means a pale-looking pucker. Not a fan.</div>

A lip scrub should be part of a weekly regimen at the very least. On a good week, every three days or so is excellent.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many lip scrubs on the market, one as seen above, but in support of the DIY divas out there, here's the easiest homemade beauty treatment you'll ever make:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 Tablespoons Fine Grain Sugar (preferably organic)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Teaspoon Food-grade Oil*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Teaspoon Honey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Squeeze of Lemon Juice*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Combine all <span style="text-align: left;">ingredients in a small container, mix into a paste and apply with a finger, or very soft bristled toothbrush, then rinse off with cool water.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Always apply your lip balm of choice after, and then enjoy the softest lips on the planet :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I typically use Olive Oil or Sweet Almond. If you're concerned about breakouts around your mouth, use a lighter oil, like Grapeseed* </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*if you are prone to cold-sores, you may want to skip on the lemon as the</div>
