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….

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.

How To Take Care of Your Hair, 10 steps to healthier hair: Beautiful, healthy hair just gives a woman that extra look of radiance, health and feminine beauty. Not to mention long, gorgeous hair helps a woman maintain a youthful look well in to her later years. It’s important to keep your hair healthy through your diet as well, but this article will be more about taking care of your hair itself.
Step 1: Get yourself a really good quality hair brush. Brush hair regularly to loosen dead skin cells and help brush out old hair styling creams/sprays. This also stimulates the scalp and helps to promote healthy hair growth.
Step 2: When you brush your hair, start brushing it from the ends first, and gradually move upwards with the comb or brush.
Step 3: Pay special attention to the ends of your hair. Once a week, massage hair and scalp with coconut oil, wrap in gladwrap or a showercap, and leave overnight. In the morning, rinse well with water, and shampoo and condition as normal.
Step 4: If you want to grow your hair long, regularly massage your scalp with the pads of your fingers in a slow, circular motion.
Step 5: Refrain from washing your hair every day – another surefire way to completely dry out your hair, and strip it of its natural oils. Wash hair with good-quality shampoo and conditioner chosen specifically for your hair type.
A little trick: If the greasy look really bothers you – just get some baby powder, and put it on your hair, and brush it through! It absorbs the oils of your hair. You’ll be amazed at how well this little trick works and actually takes away the greasy look completely! If you have dark hair – the baby power will most likely show up when you use it. So the Toni and Guy spray-on products will be a great alternative to baby powder.
Step 6: When drying your hair, never, ever wrap the towel around the length of it and scrub, rub, or wring the hair!! No, no no! This can damage the hair shaft! Just take the towel, wrap it around your hair gently and pat-dry it.
Step 7: If your hair is long, and if you are growing it longer, make sure you tie it back when you go to sleep at night, or even braid it. This helps to stop knots and tangles. You can even use a hair net or a silk hair cap when you sleep, to keep it all in place and to stop it from spreading all over the place.
Step 8: Avoid washing your hair in very hot water. Most people have outrageously hot showers, and wash their hair in the same extremely hot water. The excessive heat can cause damage to your hair.
Step 9: Prefer the use rollers to curl your hair instead of iron
Step 10: If you really have to use some heat (iron, heat curlers etc.) make sure you put on a reliable heat protection product.

A couple years ago, in Italy (Summer Jamboree), I met Debora in a flea market. A modest girl in love with the 40s & 50s, in all aspects, who made her debut in vintage clothing. The name of her brand, “The Black Pinafore”!
It was impossible to resist and not have a little something for myself, so I bought an amazing green Pinafore and a plaid (30s style) blouse called “Floradora”. Both garments are made by original vintage patterns, with great quality materials, in affordable prices and lots of love.
Debora’s Bio:“Ciao I introduce myself, I am Debora and The Black Pinafore is my blog. I live in Italy and I’m obsessed by vintage, in particular by years ’40s and ’50s. I love the whole period furniture, accessories, and, of course, fashion. I work as theatrical dressmaker, and this ability gives me the chance to live my passion for vintage dresses by realizing any model of any period.

Thank you Debora! Keep on dazzlin’ the world with love,

Ή αλλιώς όπως το έλεγε η γιαγιά μου “μπανάνα”. Το beehive λοιπόν, πήρε το ονομά του από τον εντυπωσιακά μεγάλο όγκο που είχε η κούπ αυτή. Το χτένισμα αυτό απαιτεί υπερβολικό ξάσιμο του μαλλιού και μεγάλες ποσότητες λακ. Το 1954 εκτελέστηκε για πρώτη φορά το χτένισμα αυτό, στους Διεθνείς Αγώνες Κομμωτικής στο Σικάγο από τη Margaret Vinci Heldt η οποία και κέρδισε το πρώτο βραβείο. Έκτοτε ήταν ιδιαίτερα δημοφιλές καθ’όλη τη διάρκεια της δεκαετίας του ’60 και υιοθετήθηκε από πολλές μεγάλες τραγουδίστριες όπως η Dusty Springfield, οι Ronettes κλπ. αλλά και ηθοποιούς όπως η Audrey Hepburn στοBreakfast at Tiffany’s. Το look αυτό δεν έχασε ποτέ την αίγλη του και εξακολουθεί να είναι από τα πιο δημοφιλή. Στη πορεία φορέθηκε, και φοριέται έως και σήμερα, από τα κορίτσια των Β52s, την Amy winehouse, Chrissie Hynde, Christina Aquilera και πολλές άλλες.
Τα χτενίσματα της δεκαετίας του ’40 ήταν ιδιάιτερα λαμπερά και απαιτούσαν αρκετό χρόνο. Σήμερα με τις νέες μεθόδους αλλα και εργαλεία, είναι σαφώς πιο εύκολο να αποκτήσεις ένα τέτοιο κλασσικό χτένισμα.
