Pin up Girl Hot Roller Set

Hello everyone,

this is Day4 of my vacation and as I was bored today and coloured my hair yesterday I thought "Hey, let´s make a hot roller set and snap some photos!!!". So here is a little tutorial :-)

So... For the total noobs:

Big hair rollers=volume, so I mostly use the on top of my head.

Medium rollers: wave, so most of the time I use them at the sides.

Small rollers: curl. I mostly use them at the bottom as this is also the section where my hair starts hanging out the soonest.
For protecting your hair you spray on a setting spray designed to protect your hair from heat. Before rolling it. I took a rather light one today, but there are hardcore ones around ;-) If you have naturally poker straight hair it also doesnt hurt to give your hair some overall hairspraying once everything is rolled up.

Once you unroll, it all looks rather eeeeeeek! No worries. some good brushing does the trick.

Height and Volume on top, Wavy sides, curly ends and please ignore the left over colour on my skin ;-)I put in a light streak yesterday, but Iam not sure whether I like it. Possibly I will colour over it once I have made up my mind....

Burlesque - Miss Evi´s Company




Hi everyone,


experienced readers know: It takes an hell of an event to actually tickle me and make me go out. When I first saw the posters for "Burlesque - Miss Evi´s Company" I knew that this is one of those events.

Truth be told I have only been to one Burlesque Show before and that was 2 years ago in Sweden. There is just no Burlesque here in NRW! Or no one informs me if there is!


So you wonder whether you should visit that show?! Hell yes! I know 39 € for a good seat is quiete some money BUT... it is worth it! We got 2,5 hours of wonderfull performances. Striptease, acrobatic, comedy, music and it was in a wonderfull venue to match. Kudos to the wonderfullfantastictalented artists! There was not one weak performance. I did not feel bored at any time! Even if you have a longer distance to drive (we just had 2 tram stations) you totally should while they are still in town.

I didn´t take photos of the event because I wasn´t aware that this is actually allowed!!! But here you can click through a gallery: http://www.google.de/images?hl=de&q=Miss+Evi%C2%B4s+Company&rlz=1W1ACPW_deDE322DE322&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=Ae2gTLy0BNDBswah_bDmDg&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=5&ved=0CDoQsAQwBA


I decided to wear my leopard dress from http://www.buy-unlike.com/ , cause it seemed the perfect ocassion. John was scared that he might be underdressed in his Jeans and a black shirt with a naked girl on it ;-) Truth be told I was the most dolled up person in the audience :-D Oh well, I´m used to that. I´m really proud how pretty my hair turned out! Never mind the chaos in the background. Iam happy that John was willing to take photos of me at all. Iam a happy boobie-dwarf. At least I look like that from this angle. :-D
No chin, but I´m very happy how my hair turned out! This is what I look like when I giggle hard while the boyfriend takes candids
Yes and I tested another set of my 47 Cents eye lashes. It lasted very well actually!

I feel I should use the "kiss the head" idea in an actual shooting. Plus find what´s wrong in this photos?

If you didn´t notice it my cleavage sucessfully distracted you from the tv and the thingie with that I change the channels :-D
