Day 8: Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises Today’s hair-spiration comes from the newest Batman franchise. Specifically Anne Hathaway’s Selina Kyle/ Catwoman. Sadly I couldn’t wear the cat ears with this today because I have to sell wedding dresses to brides. And frankly, I don’t think they’d appreciate my effort at authenticity. So I wore…

Day 7: Nefertiri from The Mummy Returns Today’s inspiration is Nefertiti from The Mummy Returns. But I am sad to say it did not come out the way I wanted. I chose the wrong accessory.

Day 3: Cindy Loo Who from Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas So I was a little ambitious when I chose Cindy Loo Who for day 3 of this series. In all honesty my first run through of this style involved a red Solo cup and an awful lot of hairspray. But at the…

Day 2: Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones Today’s inspiration is Daenerys Stormborn, Mother of Dragons and the once and future Khaleesi of Westeros. Played by Emilia Clarke on HBO’s Game of Thrones. Dany has seen many epic hairdos on GoT. Mainly involving intricate braids. But this look is most current, from season 3 and…

It has everything you want and expect from something holding the illustrious title of Star Trek. But at the same time… this ain’t your daddy’s Trek. It’s updated and modern in all the right ways…
