2011 Las Vegas Weekly Awards!

This past Wednesday I was invited to attend an event held by the Las Vegas Weekly, a weekly magazine here in Las Vegas. I was selected as the recipient of the 2011 'Best Blogger' award in the 2011 Weekly awards!! SO exciting!! :) Of course, since I was going to the event, I had to do Las Vegas Weekly nails, so I used one of the copies of when the story about me was in the Weekly last May to work into the manicure. (I was a tad overzealous in getting spare copies to keep, so I had a few issues to spare :-P) Check out the blurb about the award here!

Forgive me for not including my thumb in the picture- I swatched another color over it without thinking before I got around to photographing it. Stupid me. For the texture in the background, I transferred bits of the original article using alcohol onto the white background, then painted the Las Vegas WEEKLY logo over it. :)









My name on the big screen! :)

I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, with Claire's Stiletto for the red, and American Apparel Hassid for the black. Topped it all off with two coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Orlando Bloom Hairstyles

Orlando Bloom Hairstyles:

Sassy, light, comfortable and sexy - all these adjectives sit apt for the English actor Orlando Bloom. The actor is creating a rage with his chic and carefree style. Bloom is often seen making a hybrid of sorts to give new shapes to his otherwise curly and wavy locks. The Canterbury born Orlando, has been quite experimental with his films and looks. Orlando Bloom made his debut in the tinsel town with the film Wilde(1997) but succeeded to grab the limelight with Lord of the Rings trilogy with his armored look and long blond locks. More recently he has played the lead in several films, including Kingdom of Heaven and Troy.

Orlando Bloom (born on January 13th, 1977) is popular for his casual yet sexy look - long layered and slightly curly hairstyle. This Brit often sports stylish pointy beards which lend a masculine touch to his boyish face. Bloom has experimented with his deep chestnut colored curly hair, varying the length and color often. While in the Pirates of the Caribbean series Bloom mesmerized millions with his long locks in dark brown shades, he was his natural self in the period drama Troy with curly bangs caressing his chiseled face. His portrayal of the vulnerable Paris could make any girl go weak in the knees. In several of his public appearances the actor has preferred to sport short tapered hairdo with short and thick side burns. Bloom's shoulder length hair with layers all over gives volume and texture to his hair. To create further weight, waves were added through his neck line, which he flaunted with panache to complement his role as a rebellious crusader in Kingdom of Heaven.

The Real Dill

I know it's been awhile, and for that I apologize. Time slips away too quickly, and things never seem to get caught up on. However, I'm posting tonight, and I hope you dig it, because as the post title says, it's the 'Real Dill'. ;)

I grew up in a very small town, a town where farming, fishing, and hunting were mainstays of the local lifestyle. One of the crops grown in the area was cucumbers (or, as I've always called them... pickles!), and those cucumbers got made into dill pickles in the very same town. These pickles still remain my favorite pickles ever. I grew up on them, and even love to drink the pickle juice from the jar when the pickles are gone. (Gross I know, but SO delicious!!!!) Anyway, as an homage to the vinegar soaked bites of awesomeness, I did pickle nails! To achieve the pickle bumps, I used nail pearls from Born Pretty, then painted over them, and to get the mottled look of the pickle skin, I sponged several different greens.




I used butter LONDON Dosh as a base for all nails, and over top of the nail pearls on the bumpy nails. On the bumpy nails, I used Dare 2 Wear Rio De Janeiro, Icing True Beauty, and RBL No More War, and MAC Dry Martini to sponge over butter LONDON Dosh. For the pickle inside nails (thumb and ring) I used Dare 2 Wear Rio De Janeiro over the base color, then mixed with American Apparel California Trooper and some Icing True Beauty to make the highlights and shadows of the seeds. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Mmmmmm, pickles.

Vanessa Hudgens At Pirates of the Caribbean Premiere

Vanessa Hudgens At Pirates of the Caribbean Premiere:

Vanessa Hudgens went to the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ premiere at Disneyland on Saturday night, in a dress that mostly distracted everyone from the bucket of makeup she was wearing. Even Mickey Mouse, who later had to awkwardly explain to some kids that now would not be a good time to sit in his lap for a picture.


Ashley Tisdale, who has worked out and rhinoplastied her way deep into our collective libidos, Eva Longoria, who has got to be one of the most eligible bachelorettes on the planet these days, and Penelope Cruz, who is actually in this Pirates film and whose MILFtastic boobtastic continues to mesmerize my little brain. Not too shabby for a Disney event really.

Vanessa Hudgens attended red carpet premiere of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides‘ in Disneyland on May 7. The 22-year-old actress Vanessa Hudgens looked quite hot in a sexy black gown featuring thigh high slit.

The Disney star Vanessa’s leggy sexy black dress looked quite flattering and making it all the more attention grabbing was asymmetrical plunging neckline and a sexy cut out at the back.

Adding splash of color was her turquoise jewelry including a turquoise pendant necklace and a turquoise Herndon Heald Wandering Warrior ring along with some chic rings.

Her long sleeved floor length gown flattered Vanessa’s body type quite beautifully and flashed her toned legs. Wow.. Just fantastic.

Finishing off Vanessa Hudgens’ Pirates of the Caribbean Premiere look were nude platform heels and silver anklets.
