Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Here's the Dodger game I went to with my whole fambam. They played Arizona Cardinals. It was hot. Too hot. 

BUT we won and all is well if it ends well and it was probably the last game I'll go to this season....so until next time..... =]

And of course Glam can't be excluded.

DIY: Brian Wilson Beard

A couple of weeks ago I had a post of my manicure for a Dodger game. Well...here's me shamelessly posting that bearded picture again because this time I'm going to show how I made it. :-) 

I've searched long and hard for a beard wig within a reasonable price range and I've learned over the years that if you can't find it, just make it. 

Also, I made this super last minute so the picture quality is kind of lame. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 MATERIALS:

• Card Stock or Felt
• Fleece
• Glue
• String or Elastic Thread

1. Cut out desired shape of beard. I used card stock, but use anything. I recommend something somewhat durable. Felt is another option. It's also better to use a base the color of your beard. I only had white so I went with it.
2. Cut out a hole for the mouth piece, and two small holes on the side to attach string later.

   3. Cut out strips of fleece and tug on them until they stretch and begin to curl up. Try to mess up the fur on        the fabric to give it a more natural beard look. 

     4.  Curl up the pieces and glue them randomly on to your beard foundation (I used hot glue). Cut up smaller pieces to get in little crevices. 

  5.  Finish your beard by cutting around edges that still show white. Tie a string in the holes (enough to hold around your face). I used elastic thread and it wraps around my ears. Play around with it! For the ponybeard I just braided 3 pieces of fabric, glued it on to the base and tied blue ribbon around to cover up messy edges.

And yes. I just categorized this under fashion. 

1, 2, 3 Strikes You're Out!

I was lucky enough to go to two Dodger games in one week, so I needed a manicure that would last me through both games. I chose none other than a Dodger blue polish. This is Kiss Me at Midnight and it's part of OPI's liquid sand collection. This polish tries with a sandpaper like texture, and along with the Natural Nail base coat I used, the color did not fail me! (And yup, no top coat) 

Here I'm just having fun with my camera, getting close details of the texture. =] This color actually has  a perfect winter wonderland feel, or as my 5 year old cousin puts it- it looks like Elsa.

And Here's me at the Dodger game. =] It was Brian Wilson night and I went through so many stores trying to find a beard wig. I couldn't find one anywhere so of course I made my own. =]
