I'm a Simple Girl, really!

A lot of people might think that having my own line and boutique means that I have an unlimited amount of makeup, clothes, bags, and toys all at my disposal... but that couldn't be farther from the truth. I rarely ever wear jewelry. I don't really wear makeup... only a tiny lipstick or balm on occasion. I have only 2 pairs of shoes... one silver pair of mary jane flats and a pair of PUMA sneakers. I own one bottle of perfume, and up until a couple of weeks ago I only had one purse... a black PUMA handbag. 

Below is a real snapshot of the vanity in my bedroom. This is all I use on a day to day basis... that's it! The only accessory I wear is my Juicy Couture wrist watch and a spray of Tommy Hilfigure's "Dreaming". Now, when I'm feeling really adventurous, sometimes I may sneak on a tiny bit of Lime Crime lipstick and maybe my Anna Sui ring by sassyNpunk, of course! (that's the black ring on the purple high heel shoe) 

Oh! and I never leave the house without advice from my Sailor Moon fortune teller, hehe! ^_^

Cottingley Fairies Hoax

The Cottingley Fairies appear in a series of five photographs taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, two young cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in England. In 1917, when the first two photographs were taken, Elsie was 16 years old and Frances was 10. The pictures came to the attention of writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who used them to illustrate an article on fairies he had been commissioned to write for the Christmas 1920 edition of The Strand Magazine. Conan Doyle, as a spiritualist, was enthusiastic about the photographs, and interpreted them as clear and visible evidence of psychic phenomena. Public reaction was mixed; some accepted the images as genuine, but others believed they had been faked.

Interest in the Cottingley Fairies gradually declined after 1921. Both girls grew up, married and lived abroad for a time. Yet the photographs continued to hold the public imagination; in 1966 a reporter from the Daily Express newspaper traced Elsie, who had by then returned to the UK. Elsie left open the possibility that she believed she had photographed her thoughts, and the media once again became interested in the story. In the early 1980s Elsie and Frances admitted that the photographs were faked using cardboard cutouts of fairies copied from a popular children's book of the time, but Frances continued to claim that the fifth and final photograph was genuine.

The photographs and two of the cameras used are on display in the National Media Museum in Bradford.

Lisa Luxe : Tattooed Pin Up Extraordinaire

Great things really do come in small packages! Just ask, Lisa Luxe, the pocket sized pin up who's got a little more than experience under her belt. Lisa has been featured in tons of publications (both online and in print), she's a spokes model for companies like Vintage Suits by Mary and sassyNpunk, to name a few... and even does runway. Yep, this little pinup has got major modeling chops, and I recently got to ask her a few questions about what makes her so awesome! Here's what I found out:

What's your professional name and how did you come up with it?

"Lisa Luxe, suggested by a friend and it sounded good!"

When did you decide to start modeling and why? 

"I started about three years ago, I didn't really decide to start, it was an opportunity that I took advantage of and had a blast so I continued to persue it."

Did you consider yourself "beautiful" growing up? 

"Physically not so much, as a person, I suppose yes. . . I try to be as considerate and caring as I can."

What is your greatest accomplishment to date? 

"The fact that I found such an amazing man to marry and I didn't let him get away. . . "

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 

"Happy. I never would have guessed in my wildest dreams five years ago, that I would be where I am today. . . so I'm just going with the flow and taking advantage of every opportunity that comes my way!"

Do you wear you sassyNpunk products? 

"Of course! I especially love my custom "Luxe" Pendant!"

Photography - my second love

 

Although i may be considered a design artist or even a sculptor, i have always had a passion for photography. I remember in high school, I used to love going into the library everyday,  when nobody else was there, and me and my best friend would sit in the back and look at the all the amazing pictures in the photography books. I learned more about art and photography from those precious moments siting quietly with my friend than i ever did in the classroom. Some of my favorite images were discovered back in those days. They are what inspire me on daily basis and what motivates me to do my best at everything i do.

Arthur F Kales - The Thirty Nine Steps

The staircase actually contains fewer than thirty nine steps, but in counting the steps Kales manages to focus the viewer's attention on the textures in his photos. Kale's was a specialist in bromoil printing, a process which allowed for considerable inflections of tone and texture. This technique along with a female subject appearing in a dreamlike setting was Kale's specialty.
