28-29-30 June
Jailbreak Run is a 3 day celebration of bike individualism – a getaway from the mainstream bike world. Starts with bike runs from all over Greece, the first night with a welcome party for everyone – a Rock n Roll Party. The second day includes rides around the lake, swimming, good food in the local restaurants, amazing views overlooking the lake and as soon as the sun sets 4 bands will keep the people rocking until the early morning. Entrance to the Live event is Free. Beer and food is cheap, and there is an old school bazaar on site and other cool things to see and do. Sunday will be more mellow with a couple of bands playing unplugged next to the lake singing goodbye to the people who take the long way back….

Whether you only wear it for special occasions, or you apply it religiously, lipstick has been around since ancient times and shows no sign of becoming any less popular than it is today!
1. Wearing Lipstick During The French Revolution Could Get You Killed During the revolution wearing lipstick of any kind was taken as a sign that you sympathized with the aristocracy and could get you sent to the guillotine. This ended the era of men wearing lipstick.
2. Lipstick Will Make You Sane In 1928, a beauty parlor with a full line of lipsticks was installed in a New Jersey sanitorium. It’s still used a theraputic technique in many instutions across the world.
3. Lipstick Will Make You A Star During her heydey Elizabeth Taylor was so known for her siren red lipstick that, on certain movie sets, no one else was allowed to wear the color.
4. Pigs Aren’t The Only Farm Animal You Can Put Lipstick On Elizabeth Arden’s obituary read “she treated women like horses and horses like women.” That may have stemmed in part from the fact that she was said to have painted her signature pink lipstick onto all her horses’ mouths.
5. Lipstick Creates A False Impression In Kansas in 1915 wearing lipstick could get you arrested for “creating a false impression.” Like a super-awesome ineffective disguise!
6. Lipstick Is About To Get Medieval On You The first recorded use of the word lip stick (Lippa Sticka) is from approximately 1000 AD. Because I guess, as Holly Golightly says, there really are some things that a girl just can’t face without her lipstick. Like the dark ages.
7. Lipstick Will Make You Look Like A Corpse Cosmetics giant Max Factor began life as a servant to Czar Nicholas. Max wasn’t that into that. He needed to find a way to escape from the Royal household, so he used tubes of lipstick to make himself look sickly. He was taken to the infirmary, from which he escaped, and made his way to America.
8. Some Lipstick Is Fit for A Queen Queen Elizabeth II has her own special lipstick which was made to match her coronation robes. It’s called The Balmoral Lipstick.
9. Lipstick Is For Witches In the 1700s, it was believed that women wore lipstick to bewitch men and trick them into marriage.
10. Lipstick Is Also For Dudes George Washington? Yeah, he wore it.

Preview of the brand new site
On Monday 19 of December 2011, the official site of Marie Claire (Hellas) went on air and Dazzlin’ Gal from now on will be part of it. You can watch online, the first tutorial video on “How to wear headpieces” in just a few steps. The video is in greek but I guess it’s easy to understand what it’s all about. However, for those who have questions or it’s all greek to you, you can always send me your queries at dazzlingal13@yahoo.com
Dazzlin' Gal First Lesson: Accessories
Many girls frequently ask me how to wear headpieces, flowers, fascinators etc. in order to achieve a retro look. This tutorial shows you the easiest way to wear a headpiece with no requirement of heat, curlers or rollers. All you need is a comb, few bobby pins (that match your hair color) and some hair spray.
With model Ivy
Place: I really want to thank Belle Epoque (Voulis 34, Sydagma)for hosting us.
Accessories: All accessories are handmade by Dazzlin’ Gal.
Song: Twenty-Four Hours A Day by Billie Holiday
Model: I also want to thank my model Ivy Adamopoulou for all her patience.
Video: And last but not least I want to thank Gerasimos Domenikos because nothing would have happen if it wasn’t for him.

Ps. I promise that next time I’ll include some backstage pictures…
With the close of the 1920s came the crash of the stock market (October 1929) and with that came an expedited change in attitude about hair and makeup. Gone were the days of the rebellious flapper, replaced instead by a softer more feminine look. A softer, more feminine style replaced the boyish, flapper look of the twenties. The Great Depression ushered in a philosophy of thrift and admonished the reckless spending associated with the roaring 20s.
Makeup was less severe and hairstyles were too. Soft feminine curls replaced the sharp boyish flapper look. The stress of the depression was often alleviated, if not temporarily, by escape into a dark movie theatre where the glamorous Hollywood movie star worked her magic on defining fashion even further. The stylish ’30s was the decade of Art Deco and Hollywood celebrities, with actresses such as Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo starring on the silver screens. Just look at the images of Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Myrna Loy, Ginger Rogers and Mae West to get an understanding of what women found fashionable during this era.
The feminine makeup look changed rapidly in the late 1920’s and in to the 1930’s. Gone was the coquettish girl of the late victorian era, to a more independent woman. The pale face look remained however, despite Coco Chanels new tan! The makeup look of the early 1930’s was of an aesthetic female, somewhat aloof. The makeup reflected this with paler than pale skin (bleach creams achieved this).
Foundation was applied with a thick coverage compared to today’s trends, but generally matching your natural complexion or remaining relatively pale.
Eyebrows were plucked to a virtually non-existent thinness and high-arched with a fine taper line in its place,falling at the end. A dark eyebrow pencil can be used today to replicate this eyebrow feature.
A curious black line traced from the tear duct to the end of the eye, including a little upturned triangle effect! Upper Eyelashes were heavy with mascara or ‘ Mascaro’ as it used to be called then ! Lower Eyelashes had little if no mascara.
Powder rouge became more prevalent and was blended over a wider area of the cheek. Popular colors were more pink and light red or even brown and were far more discreet than in previous years.
The upper lip might be made to look a little longer in the evenings,to create the ‘Rosebud look’. Lipstick was applied across the lips with a thinner, wider coverage than the ’20s, and popular colors included dark -chinese red, browns, maroons and rasberry tones.
Popular Nail Polish included pale rose, light pink and cream shades,applied only in the centre of nails with the half-moon and tips left bare.

step 1: Apply a foundation in your skin tone using considerable coverage. You may get away with a lighter formulation for a 1930s look if you have good skin with barely any unevenness in skin tone and nary a blemish.

The roaring ’20s was a period of renewal and increasing consumer growth, during which new make-up trends for women flourished.

Step 1 Find and apply a foundation in your skin tone that will give your complexion a creamy, perfect look. You may have to use an older variety, such as pancake, or a cream meant more for theater than for everyday use. To allow your skin to breathe, thin down cream foundation by moistening your sponge before dipping in the base. If your skin is naturally porcelain or alabaster-toned, play it up.
