The Radio Still Rocks On...(All About a Podcast)

Haunting noises of what anyone can assume to be the wind blowing, the howling of wolves, and the voice of a creepy man laughing is heard from speakers connected to a computer. These things might be the stereotypical characteristics of an old horror movie but in reality its actually the opening of The Horror! (Old Time Horror), an audio podcast aired since 2007 from the company Relic Radio. Ranging from ghosts to strange coinciding events, Old Time Horror delivers stories straight from the now vintage past. Although, they won't exactly freak you out of your seat, it will take your interest or rather amuse you for the hour.So for all you vintage lovers out there, check this one out.

Moment for Some Hair! (mostly for girls)

I was able to get a little time for myself and make something new with my hair and ended up using this book you see here. The steps explained are easy to follow. And the beginning of the book gives you basic steps for prepping your hair and curling your hair. Pictures are included for most hairdo's so you can keep track of what you are doing. At the end of the book there is also a small section on cosmetics (lipstick, eyeliner makeup,and blush). I recommend this book if you need a hairstyle for when performing at your school play, Halloween, or just want to dress up that hair with something new.Everything else, you use your creativity (I was about to type MasterCard but it figures it has no context.)

The Cat-Eyed Twist

Cat-eyed glasses have been the hot sensation of the 1950's for women and girls.They have a thick rim and have the frame at both corners shaped in a pointed manner. At times I thought it sort of looked weird just alone by itself, but as I would look onto many other faces wearing these glasses, I realized that they actually complimented the facial female structure. According to one article I found(link found below) they were actually invented even before the 1950's. Who knows maybe there was an older style that induced this cat-eyed twist. But what is really rather peculiar is that this is becoming a recycled trend among the rockabilly,retro,and vintage market of today. I see 1 out of every 12 girls in subway train stations wearing these. I really want to have my own pair. Though, for what it is they can be quite expensive at certain times but if you look closely you can find them at your typical CVS or pharmacy store,if you are lucky anyway.
