In order of appearance: Eric Burdon, Steve Winwood, Long John Baldry (you’ll understand why he was called “Long John” when you watch the video), Julie Driscoll, and Rod Stewart, before a bird’s nest landed on his head. Check out Rod’s moves! Lots of great R&B shouting and energy all around.
One Reginald Dwight took half of his stage name after Long John Baldry; the other half he took from saxophonist Elton Dean. He, of course, became Elton John.
Julie Driscoll is probably best known for singing Ab Fab’s theme song This Wheel’s on Fire.
My first introduction to It Cosmetics was its Bye Bye Pores HD Silk Micro-Powder, which I described as The Most God-awful product that I’ve tried. Marcia at beautyinfozone.com loves Bye Bye Pores, which she applies with a fan brush to diffuse the powder.
I really got turned onto It Cosmetics when I tried its YSBB™ Your Skin But Better™ CC Cream with SPF 50+. Its LE holiday Naturally Pretty eye shadow palette was terrific too. I bought it through a private sale on It Cosmetics’ web site and it was helpfully discounted to $25.20 to qualify for free shipping (the threshold is $25).
My latest love is IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup 3-in-1 Melting Balm: cleanser, makeup remover, and serum in one. I like wiping it off with a warm damp Makeup Eraser plush cloth.
It Cosmetics has secured a coveted spot on Sephora’s shelves, according to a report published by WWD. The US Indie brand has been sold through QVC and Ulta to date, and is currently sold in Sephora’s Australian stores, but will be stocked by the US branch of the LVMH-owned perfumery from September.
Passover begins tomorrow evening, Friday, April 22, 2016. Here is an intriguing article on how climate change might have triggered the chain of events known as the Ten Plagues:
The Biblical plagues that devastated Ancient Egypt in the Old Testament were the result of global warming and a volcanic eruption, scientists have claimed.
According to the WWD articles Celebs’ New Beauty Push: Color Cosmetics, “Celebrity fragrances are shriveling as a category, plummeting to less than 2 percent of the prestige fragrance market in 2014 from 4 percent in 2011, according to figures from NPD Group.”
Soon after I posted the article about Cara Delevigne, I learned that Victoria Beckham will launch an LE #makeup line with Estée Lauder. It will launch in September 2016. Victoria Beckham previousl…
The US Postal Service issued the Sarah Vaughan Forever® Stamp on March 29, 2016:
The musically inclined Sarah Vaughan (1924-1990) played piano, then organ, and finally realized her vocal talent singing in the church choir. Her voice ranged over three octaves, and she exercised control over it; swooping from high to low and back. Early in Vaughan’s career she toured with many of the great jazz musicians of the day, and incorporated some of their styles into her own. Later, she recorded both jazz and pop songs as a solo artist. Remarkably, her voice did not diminish with time; she sang with her signature interpretive power for the whole of her five-decade career.
While you’re at it, check out the over 300 pins on the I love me a great lippie board on Pinterest: not only lip color, but also cute lipstick-themed products. My favorite is this Reiko Kaneko bone china mug:
My mom had cancer twice. The first time, I was six. We were living in Minnesota and would go to the Mall of America. We would window-shop at the Disney Store and eat at the Rainforest Café. It was magical. It was distracting. And most …

She tells how she broke down on the floor of the dressing room of the bridal shop, where prospective brides were shopping with their mothers. I certainly can relate to breaking down like this, but this is her story, not mine. Fortunately, she found a florist and the owner of an appointment-only bridal shop who were understanding and even compassionate.
Gray hair is just a lack of melanin in hair, so by figuring out [the gene’s] IRF4’s role in that process, it’s possible that scientists will be able to determine why hair goes gray and develop ways to stop it before it starts. Goodbye, root touch-ups.
Too late for me: I got my first gray hairs when I was 16.
Barbie added three new body types — tall, curvy and petite — to live alongside its range of skin tones, hair styles and outfits.
Nice going; however, I think that Barbie’s been the scapegoat for girls’ poor body image. I think that most girls realize that Barbie has unrealistic proportions, she’s just a doll, and therefore not to blame for girls’ poor body image.
We’ve seen it before: jihadis attacked the Chabad House in the Mumbai terrorist attacks in November 2008; they attacked the kosher supermarket in the Paris attacks in January 2015. Now jihadis target Le Bataclan because of its (former) Jewish owners and pro-Israel, pro-Jewish events at the venue.
BTW Ba-ta-clan is the title of an operetta (1855) by Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880), born Jakob Offenbach, the son of a Jewish cantor, in Köln, Germany.
