Straight, parted hair came around the 20s-30s, when the half-moon part was invented. In the 1950s, young Nate King Cole – a jazz performer – wore this particular hair style and in the 1960s, this side parted hair became a big deal. David Beckham was one of the first stars recognized wearing this hairstyle; Drake, the Canadian rapper, was also spotted recently wearing a half moon part. This is an American hairstyle that can be worn by all hair types. It also works for girls with a straight part through the middle of the hair. |

Flutter your eye-lash extensions!
July 7, 2013
Eyelash extensions are intended to lengthen, thicken, and make your eyelashes look fuller than their original condition. It all started in 1916 when director D.W. Griffith was making his film Intolerance and wanted his actress Seena Owen to have eyelashes, “that brushed against her cheeks.” The first eyelash extensions ever made were with human hair that was woven by a local wig maker. It was first started in Los Angeles, where Intolerance was filmed. There are two different types of eyelash extensions: temporary and semi-permanent.

Short-Short's
July 7, 2013
Since boys came up with the shorts, girls had to be somewhere in the picture when short-shorts appeared, right? I mean all you see nowadays are girls in nothing but shorts, especially in the summer! Well, short-shorts first originated through the 1979 portrayal of country girl Daisy Duke, from the show Dukes of Hazzard. In the show, Daisy wore the shortest shorts she could fit into. It was the shortest jean short ever shown on a female figure on national TV. The shorts were so short, the network actually made her wear flesh colored tights underneath the shorts! Imagine that.

Jeans are kind of a big deal...
April 11, 2013
Jeans originated from American culture and were introduced to the world in the 1940's. Jeans were originally made for the middle and the poor to use for work. Loeb 'Levi' Strauss took advantage of this opportunity and started selling, "blue jeans". Denim's popularity started spreading rapidly and soon everyone had a pair of blue jeans in their closet. Today, jeans are the go-to solution to every "last-minute outfit" or "what to wear" questions.
