Save the Internet, Stop SOPA/PIPA NOW!

01.18.2012 | Author SMS

I am thrilled to tell you that the internet-wide protest was a great success and both the SOPA and PIPA bills were dropped by Congress yesterday (the 20th). The protest was seen by huge numbers, check them out at SOPA Strike. Thank you to all who participated and changed what was thought to be a sure thing!

The LongLocks HairSticks Boutique and Style & Angst blog are participating in an internet-wide protest against two bills currently being considered in the US House and Senate. Called SOPA and PIPA, these bills threaten to destroy the internet as we know it.

If either one passes, your favorite sites could disappear forever.

CLICK HERE TO ACT NOW

CALL YOUR SENATOR AND ASK THEM TO VOTE “NO” FOR PIPA

Sun Drop Diamond Auction at Sotheby’s

11.15.2011 | Author barbaraanne

“But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon
Who is already sick and pale with grief.”

In the play, Mr. Capulet tried to marry his daughter off to the highest bidder, but that didn’t go so well. I have greater hopes for Sotheby’s auction of the biggest yellow diamond in the world, the Sun Drop. Look at the clarity with which it catches dark peach and violet light.

Elizabeth Taylor owned it. It seems while everyone was frothing at the mouth in anticipation of the auction at Christie’s next month, Sotheby’s siphoned off a few choice gems of its own.

Benjamin Steinberg: Courage Under Pressure

07.18.2011 | Author barbaraanne

By BarbaraAnne:

Style, savior faire, and courage are links on an 18K gold chain. The world changes when a visionary moves philosophy forward. My father was such a man.

In May 1964, he and a founding group of 13 musicians created The Symphony of the New World, and as one of them told me, “Benny went out and got the money.”

In the concert program, he wrote, “In creating job opportunities for the many thoroughly trained, top-flight nonwhite instrumentalists, who hitherto have not been widely accepted in this nation’s symphony orchestras, the Symphony of the New World aims to serve as an example of the principle of racial-equality-in-action to musical groups throughout the country. In the belief that so many of our symphony orchestras are not of today’s world, it has called itself The Symphony of the New World.”

He blazed across the world stage, my father…

You Are The Supermodel

05.18.2011 | Author barbaraanne

I’m going to appear on the webTV video program You Are The Supermodel next week. The subject will be my hair comb blog, and I am seeking opinions on what I should wear. I will do the interview over skype.

Yes, I have a headset, and I’m running to get a webcam, but my Canon EOS can also be turned into a webcam, and I ordered a hybrid plug to go from a microphone to my computer. I will have to test it out with some VERY PATIENT people to see where I look better. ;-P

Now, for the important things… :-) I have chosen to wear an ivory dress with a chiffon shawl that matches but is not busy. Makeup: neutral beige-to-brown pallete. Lighting, I have photo lights, but I’ll have to use the very patient people in my life to do the lighting testing.

And then… MY HAIR. My first choice would be my two Longlocks pearl geisha sticks with my real Tahitian pearl earrings. Then I would show the antique combs on camera instead of wearing them.

I know my parrot Harry will probably be making a noise fuss in the background so the entire interview will be ruined. :-) LOL But I don’t think you can go wrong with ivory clothes, a beautiful chiffon scarf, pearl earrings, neutral palette makeup, and two real-pearl Longlocks geisha sticks.

Opinions, comments, views, thoughts?
