Shirley Manson inspired Hair

Carrie — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:00:10 +0000

I’ve always been inspired by Shirley Manson’s “Beautiful Garbage” era haircut, as well as Rihanna’s cool shaved cut. Last year I went to Change’s in Ghent to attempt the cut, but chickened out. Honestly, I just don’t think the hair dresser was qualified enough to do the cut.

So one year later, with pictures in hand, I went over to Ron Paul Salon in Chesapeake to get it done. My friend Jaycen referred me to his stylist there, Paula, and she did an amazing job! I walked out of that salon glowing! That haircut made me feel brand new.

Skin Cancer is not cool

The summer is here and so is the sun. I ask everyone who reads this to please make sure wear your sun block daily – face, neck, chest, hands, everything! If you’re going to hang out by the pool or at the beach, bring that 80 SPF cream with you! What I’m trying to say is SKIN CANCER is not cool. Neither is your red skin tan… or your wrinkled saggy leathery flesh.

Us humans… we’re not supposed to have red skin. Our flesh wasn’t designed for us to sit under the sun for 3+ hours just to burn it — and for what, beauty? What’s so beautiful about burned skin? “Hey, look at me. My tan is so cool. I’m red like a lobster.” Wow, way to go. That’s not a tan, that’s your flesh burning.

The last time I checked, the sun is a gigantic burning ball of fire!!! By exposing unprotected skin to it, you’re asking for burned skin! Now what’s so attractive sounding about UV-Radiation? Skin cancer? Melanoma?

Now I’m not saying “Hey, don’t go the beach, or don’t go outside.” All I’m saying is please wear sunblock that’s at least 50 SPF. And don’t over-expose yourself just because you want to look “tan.”

Sun-bathing kitties

Nothing says “the weekend is here” better than a bunch of sun-bathing kitties in the living room. I wish I could be a cat sometimes.

I have finally setup my blog here at vintagestars.com. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now… so here it is!

My name is Carrie and I live in Virginia… I work as a webmaster for a fancy advertising agency, and I love listening to music, watching movies, snuggling with my cats, and lovin’ on my husband. I’m most likely going to blog about all of those things I just mentioned. Go figure.

Aight… catch ya later.
