EMO KIDS

Emo Kids: Fashion and Passion

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.

Little braid buns with a flip~

This week I decided to do something that I do a lot of, two small ponies on the sides. But I did a few cute things to mix it up. I am sure I copied someone somewhere... but here is my version. I braided the piggy's and made them into buns (leaving out the ends to stick up) and I zigzagged the part (I like to start at her part and then zigzag over I think she looks cuter that way.). Added a couple of bows and flipped the back hair then wallah you have a cute little do.
Here are some pictures, ignore the laundry in the background... At least it is folded! And YES I did her hair in the kitchen (gasp!). Time was of the essence. but she did get to school on time. A very quick hair do!

Ultra Modern Bob Hairstyles for Short Length Hair

Though the bob hairstyle was invented about 80 years ago, it has remained a popular option for short hair since then. In that time it has been extended, shortened, twisted, curled and, most recently, inverted! The bob is definitely the most flexible modern short hairstyle there is, and it owes its long life to this fact.


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

Weddings are always changing, and yet they remain timeless, especially when we look at the hairstyles of the bride and her handmaids. There is no doubt that the most popular look for brides has been the princess updo.


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!

The Inauguration Fashion

I am pleased as a youth to see that President Obama is ready for action and looking to make a difference in our lives. I was impressed by the inauguration and how well the first family conducted themselves, but of course I was most impressed with the fashion of the day!!!

Mrs. Obama- Inauguration Clothes



Mrs. Obama looked great in her Michael Kors Pebble Brocade Dress (priced at $2,395) with matching coat but there are some complaints. I really didn’t like the green shoes and gloves; I think she should have put on cream pumps. I also didn’t really like the matching jacket. I think that if she was going to wear something this stand-outish then she should have had a solid color overcoat that was gree to go with those shoes and gloves. Again, her clothing had no arms. She loves to show those arms!

Mrs. Obama- Inauguration Gown


Mrs. Obama really rocked this young, hip and chic one-shouldered, ivory silk chiffon, and appliquéd all-over with a scattering of silk flowers and crystals, gown! 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.

Sophisticated Hairstyles for 2009 Spring-Summer

When everyone is looking for long hairstyles you still have much broad range of short hairstyles to choose from. Most importantly, you must know your facial structure and the body type before you conclude any of the short hairstyles you want to go.

2009 most popular short hair styles with highlights
Let find out some Cool Hairstyles for Spring/Summer 2009

short bob hairstyles with side parted hair
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.
