Day 20 – Breakfast at Tiffany’s Today’s inspiration is Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Basically I made a high pony tail, swooped it back under and did a little back combing. Then I added some sparkly pins in the shape of a tiara.

Day 19 – Cleopatra Today’s inspiration is Elizabeth Taylor’s Cleopatra. I started off with some simple gold and black beads. I desperately tried to string these beads straight into my hair to really go authentic Cleopatra. But alas, my hair would not cooperate. So I strung them on hair colored string and tied them in…

Day 18 – Princes Leia Today’s inspiration comes from the original icon of geekery. The girl all little girls born after 1977 wanted to be. Princess Leia Organa (from any of the original Star Wars trilogy.) And I know you expected the buns, but I always liked her hair from Return of the Jedi, while she…

Day 3 – Niobe from The Matrix: Reloaded Today’s inspiration comes from Jada Pinkett Smith’s Niobe from The Matrix Reloaded. This is a moderate on the scale from easy to holy moley. And I’d like to say that this is by no means a tutorial blog or a ‘how-to’. More like a ‘how-I-did.’ I’m no…
