30 Days of Nerdy Hair-Nerdvember

Day 4: Lady Edith from Downton Abbey Poor Lady Edith. She may be the jilted, wallflower of the Crawley family, but the girl has good hair. As we in America eagerly await season 4, I chose to spotlight Lady Edith today. My hair has grown out quite a bit since I first cut it. So…

Day 3: Minnie Mouse As you’ve probably gathered from previous series’, I am a big nerd for all things Disney. So today I chose the first lady of the Disney empire, Minnie Mouse. Now my ears are just hair buns and my bow is tipped to the side, but it still has that happy Minnie…

Happy Halloween, nerds!!!

So today is Halloween. And up here in New York it is supposed to rain tonight. And last year was Hurricane Sandy and the year before that there was a freak snow storm. Basically God is putting the kibosh on slutty costumes. This does not upset me in the least. It is upsetting to me…

Friends Tour

There are so many shows and movies set in New York City. But out of all of them, Friends is probably the most poignant for women in their 25-35’s. It’s what we grew up watching and dreaming about. It just seemed like the coolest group of people on the planet. (Still does in reruns!) So…

Halloween Make-Up

Option #5: Cleopatra Here is the final Halloween Make-Up experiment. I chose Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile. Though I didn’t use any existing Cleopatras as examples.

Halloween Make-Up

Option #4: Circus Performer Today’s make-up trial is inspired by the circus. Perhaps a trapeze artist or a modest (adorable) clown.
