Real Housewives of Orange County = my guilty pleasure

It's a matter of opinion but I love these women for many reasons mainly cause the show is an entertaining escape. I love the hair and makeup and the clothes are beautiful. Somehow their lives are perfectly imperfect which makes them relatable.

TRUE BLOOD THE REST OF SEASON TWO PREVIEW

My new crush Alexander Skarsgard on my favorite show True Blood!

R.I.P. June 25, 2009

American icons. Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. The way I'd like to remember them.

Charlie's Angels: The originals

Flawless! Seventies glamor at it's best. Watch them again for inspiration, you won't be disappointed. The makeup was stunning. Not overdone seventies clown makeup. Dewy skin, healthy cheek color, most of the time lovely light colored eyeshadow with little to no liner, and the lips where always natural looking glossy bronzes or light peaches. It was understated and can be easily translated for the present. I wish I knew who the makeup artist was.

New favorite scent!

I'd like to introduce you to my current favorite scent. L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain. It is the most hypnotic, melancholy, comforting scent I have yet to discover.
It is in my humble opinion, poetry in a bottle. Like a good poem, I seem to read something new into it every time I wear it.
Simply put, it touches my soul and I have a feeling it will remain with me forever.

Sharon Tate: January 24, 1943-August 9, 1969

I love "Valley of the Dolls" and especially enjoyed Sharon's performance. I hope as the 40th anniversary of her death approaches, we can pay tribute to her life.

One of my favorite shows!

Well, maybe not.

Thing 23!

I'm really happy I made the decision to take part in this learning 2.0 program. It has been a great way to learn different things that are available on the internet. You can go at your own pace and learn through trial and error how to use the various things. Now I know what people are talking about when they use terms like wikis and podcasts! I'm really happy about learning how to use Flickr and del.icio.us and plan on exploring them even more in the future. Thanks for the chance you gave us to become more tech savvy!

Thing 22: Teaching someone one of the 23 things

Helen and I have collaborated throughout this project. I find it helpful to show someone else what I've learned because I feel it reinforces my own knowledge. I do plan on showing my father and possibly others how to create their own blogs.

Thing 21: Podcasts

I'm already VERY familiar with itunes which I find to be easy to use. I also had the pleasure of doing a radio talk show with Roxann, Sharon S., and Devin. This is located on the right hand side of my blog. The topic of our show was the death of John Lennon. It was a very cool experience and probably the only time I'll do radio!

Thing 20: Rita Hayworth as Gilda (music by Pink Martini)

Thing 20 : YouTube Comment

I love YouTube! I can spend hours just looking at different videos. I choose to post a video my brother made of his daughter. That video is just beneath this post. The one above this post is from one of my favorite movies "Gilda". The music is by a band called "Pink Martini" and I just love them! Whoever put this video together did a great job! I have a couple more I posted earlier since I'm already familiar with this site.

Thing 20: My niece Lydia.

Thing 19

Well now, I wanted to test out something fun so I went for Cocktail Builder. This is so cool! It is especially handy for people who entertain frequently. You can find many cocktail recipes by using this tool. Also, you can create a "favorites" list. Now I don't know how this could relate to libraries. Unless library cocktail lounges become a new trend?!
