The Influence of Veronica Lake...

While I was in Salt Lake City this Labor Day weekend, my sister Ashley decided she wanted to learn more about the 1940's hairstyles.  My cousin April is a hairstylist and absolutely loves these styles as well and was more than happy to teach my baby sister.

After the styling that took a lot longer than planned, due to the subject's stubborn hair (your's truly), my cousin D'Arcy proved her skills as well by snapping some shots of the fun event.  I truly have a talented family and it was such a blast being together again laughing until our faces were sore!

I Heart My Friend Kat...

She dances. She sings. She acts. She's a fantastic photographer. And a beautiful person. Kathleen Hennessey (http://bybubble.blogspot.com/) is an amazing, talented girl that everyone ought to know.

I first met my favorite Kat at church in Huntington Beach, CA. That's right, she's Mormon. Who knew Mormons could have such talent and amazing personalities to go along with their outer and inner beauty??

Kat recently played Elphaba in my favorite broadway show of all time, Wicked, in Japan! I really wish I could have gone to see her perform, but I was able to be there in spirit through her blog. She is currently in Montreal where she is prepping for the upcoming Cirque du Soleil Vaudeville style! This time, I plan on visiting Chicago to see the performance and cannot wait!!

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite clips of my friend Kat in her various adventures! Enjoy!!

Here is their rendition of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance." (Kat is the second from the left.)

This next one is an En Vogue Tribute and it's just so much fun! So many flashbacks, ha ha! I love this one.

And FINALLY!! Kat in her performance of Elphaba in Wicked Japan.

The second part of the clip is my uttermost favorite song from the soundtrack Wicked...
