Braided Headband with Celebrity Ponytail

Have you seen the old Superman movies with Christopher Reeve?
 

They're classics.



I loved how he appeared so nerdy as Clark Kent, and then in seconds, he'd come bursting out of a phone booth as a super babe.



That's like this hair-do.  You can go from no style, to glamorous in minutes.  


"Look!  It's a bird...it's a plane...  No!  It's a SUPER HAIR-DO!"

Jack O' Lantern Bun

This is our last Halloween hairstyle for the year....and it's a nostalgic one for me.



Because the first Halloween
costume I really remember from my childhood was in Kindergarten, when I dressed as a Jack O' Lantern.  

My dad had sewn me a giant pumpkin suit that went from my neck to my thighs.  It had a big Jack O' Lantern face on the front, and my mom had painted a matching one on my

Spider Pigtails

We went to a Halloween Carnival last night.

There were carnival games for the kids and

Ponytail -- Ghost Style

I have such fond memories of Halloween as a child.  And a big part of that excitement was planning the costumes. 


My mom could sew, but it was my dad who always made our costumes.  He could make anything we dreamed up, from a perfect replica of the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid, to Wonder Woman's American flag costume including a gold boomerang headband and bullet-deflecting wrist

Bohemian Twist with a Rope Twist

So every year around this time, my mom takes us window shopping to a few different stores.  We can't ever

buy anything.  It's just so she can see our eyes light up, and our ooh's and aah's over certain toys we see.  Then she keeps the ideas in mind when she's shopping online.  

Well today I saw the CUTEST Frosty the Snowman, ever!  And he reminded me of the Frosty I got for one of my

Rope Twisted Flower Bun

I see trees of green...red roses too

I see 'em bloom...
for me and you

And I think to myself...what a wonderful world



That's how I feel when I wear this Flower Bun, like I've got one of nature's perfect creations blossoming from my head.
