I have been chatting it up on Facebook with my friend Miss Shamara of Power 99 FM. Well the other day she asked my mom and I if I could be posted on her blog. Need less to say, I was very elated! What I like about Miss Shamara is that she is a very caring person. She is always telling me that I better go to bed and such. I listen to her all the time on my lunch break because I love OLD SCHOOL. Be sure to check it out and leave your comments! :)

EMO KIDS
All around the U.K., people are listening to bands that entail music that deals with the harsh realities of the world. From this “down” from of music, young people are really beginning to show their emotions.
The term to describe people with this type of mindset is “emo.” Emo is short for emotional, or the emotional punk movement. The movement began in the early 1980’s. out of the backdrop clubs of Washington D.C.
Since then, the “movement” has experienced its ups and downs, but those downs are now ups. Every day, more and more young British people are adopting the “emo” lifestyle.
What is causing young people to adopt the “emo” lifestyle? One answer is that general society does not provide an outlet, which allows young people to express their true emotions – forcing them to hold them inside. Not anymore for these young teens who don not care about the rules and restrictions of general society.
Now, emos are letting out their true emotions, in both public and private. This can be seen in the type of clothing that emos wear and in the hair they wear. A typical emo has a pale face, with makeup around the lips, eyes, and cheeks. They wear hair that consists of different colors.
Moreover, emos wear accessories that display their true emo side. They wear anything from small, multicolored hair bows to black bracelets.
Emos are also known to wear clothing that has names on unknown bands. This is to symbolize their understanding they themselves are unknown to the mainstream world. However, as this rising trend in young teens and adults, their parents are beginning to understand them as well.
Instead of viewing this as a phase, parents are beginning to understand what it means for their kids to be emo and is happy that they have an outlet to express their most innerselves. That is something that can’t be taught in any school.
The emo culture is being passes along to their children as well. Now, there are babies that can be seen wearing emo clothing in public places such as malls, eating places, and parks throughout the UK and most of the world.
There are places on the Internet that offers baby and adult emo clothing/ accessories, at low prices. To find go to a search engine and type “cheap baby/adult emo clothing” and see what you can come up with.

Ultra Modern Bob Hairstyles for Short Length Hair
Ultra Modern Bob Hairstyles for Short Length Hair
The modern bob can best be described by its interplay with the shape of the face. A woman who gets a modern bob can expect her stylist to carefully study her chin, forehead, brows, nose and cheekbones, because the bob can be designed to call attention to a single one of these features, or to a more general facial area (forehead and brows, chin and cheekbones).
2009 Short Bob Hairstyles for Short Length Hair
Regardless of the basic nature of your natural look, whether curly or straight, colored or not, parted, permed or plaited, there is an option for the bob that will work for you. In all these options, however, the bob will have the effect of framing of the face. This effect is created by the bob’s usual tresses or strands running down both sides of the face.
Even in short bobs, you will see this framing effect performed by a strand or two of hair positioned in harmonious balance near the sideburn area. In the inverted bob, a very modern look, the framing effect is severe and arresting.

Wedding Hairstyles Ideas for Brides
This has been the preferred style for decades, and it will remain so for many more. There is a good reason for this. The height of a good updo creates a sense of elegance and style in the wearer, and the strands that can be allowed stay down the sides of the face serve to frame the eyes and cheekbones of the bride in a playful way that suits the joyful event. However, many young women feel that they need to stand out in their appearance, and they often opt for different looks.
When chosen carefully, this can create a wonderfully wild and fun feel to the wedding. But the choice must be done clearly and carefully, because if the bridesmaids are given to understand that they all have complete freedom to chose their own hairstyles, the end result could be upstaging styles on the part of one or more maids, or a complete jumble of unrelated haircuts that fail to enhance the event in any way.
If the bride opts for a short and curled bob, a stylist should coordinate her look with the bridesmaids, ensuring that each woman has a short look that does not compete for the eye with the bride’s hairdo. This applies to any choice the bride makes, eventually. Communicate clearly and enjoy the results!

It was as classy as was her dance with her sweet heart. The diamond drop earrings, bracelets and a signet ring by Loree Rodkin was a great fit to match her graceful Jason Wu inaugural gown.

To give a pixie a hipper feel, hair is snipped asymmetrically. The longer side of the cut is directed forward to veil short, cury bangs that are achoed by flirty spikes at the far back of the crown.
Cutting Edge hairstyles for 2009 spring
If you want to take your hair this short, it helps if you have model-like features, because there's nothing you can hide behind. The bare but beautiful boyish cut features short, blunt bangs and sheared sides. Styling is practically non-existent. You can achieve this style by simply blow dry, comb in place and go.
short celebrity hairstyles for spring-summer 2009
If your hair is thick, cutting it short does not mean losing out in the fullness department. By positioning long layers through the crown and styling them forward with volumizer and round brush, you've got a look that's sure to turn some heads.
