30 Days of Nerdy Hair
Day 9: Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby Today I chose Daisy Buchanan from Baz Luhrman’s The Great Gatsby. Played by Carey Mulligan. To create this look I pinned all of my hair back into a low bun and then shaped the front to resemble a bob. I curled my bangs to the side and…

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 6: Snow from Once Upon a Time Today’s inspiration is from the pilot episode of ABC’s Once Upon a Time. Specifically Snow White played by Ginnifer Goodwin. For this style I left it curly (which is my normal hair texture) then threw it half up and added little flowers I got from Claire’s. Perfect…

Day 4: Jody Sawyer from Center Stage This is a bit of a random mainstream choice for inspiration. But I love a good dance movie. And ballet hair is super fun! Plus when this film came out I was a junior in high school and cheesy romantic movies were sorta my bread and butter. So…

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…

I Like It and I Don’t Care What You Think!
Here’s the thing… I like Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Spike TV was having a marathon last weekend… as usual. And possibly in lieu of the 30th anniversary of Return of the Jedi. And sure… it’s a weak installment in the canon and I could write a list of things that didn’t work…
