Check out this video of the amazing Alex Box, one of my personal makeup inspirations, opining on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. If you haven't heard of Ms. Box before, you might have heard about her amazing makeup line, Illamasqua. If you haven't heard of either of them--what are you waiting for?! Ms. Box is a true artist in the beauty world.
"Being Betty" by Lisa Eldridge
I love Lisa Eldridge, I love Bettie Page, and I love Gemma Arterton; so I was delighted to hear about Lisa Eldridge's short film for Love Magazine, entitled "Being Betty." Fans of Bettie Page will be familiar with the imagery of Ms. Eldridge's film, but for those that aren't, the original inspiration came from this video:
You might be wondering why Ms. Page carries a sign that spells her name as "Betty" yet you will mostly find her name spelled "Bettie" throughout this post and other references. I promise, it's not a mistake!
"While it reportedly says "Betty Mae Page" on her birth certificate, "Bettie" is the form that she has always used since she was a child (such as for signatures), so Bettie is therefore the preferred spelling. However, whether due to oversight or for the sake of simplification, in her 1950's photos and films she was often billed as "Betty Page." So for Bettie or worse, today the two spellings are used more or less interchangeably." -Vampress.net

Beauty News! Dita Von Teese's Beauty Book
If you have met me "in real life" or even if you know me via social media, you will know that I LOVE Dita Von Teese! When I first heard she was coming out with a beauty book I was beyond excited. That was over a year ago, however, and soon I started to think the project had been shelved.
So, when I saw this interview with Ms. Von Teese and her hair stylist John Blaine today, I was stoked (yes, stoked) to hear that she was still working on it! Then, I went over to Amazon.com and saw that the book is already available for pre-order. The current release date is January 28th, 2014 which seems oh so far away right now, but it will be here before you know it.
