Cindy Crawford on how to get ‘Cindy Crawford’

Don’t worry Cindy, we also don’t wake up looking like Cindy Crawford. In a new interview with The Cut, 48-year-old supermodel Cindy Crawford talks about her new beauty line, Meaningful Beauty, and how she’s just like everyone else when it comes to doing her own hair – sore biceps included. “If I really need Cindy Crawford hair, I have someone else do it. I really dislike doing my own hair because my arms get so tired. I can fake it enough for real life. Or sometimes, I’ll even go to a blowout bar and make that last for three days. Much to my husband’s chagrin, I pin it up. It’s also how my daughter does it now, because that’s how we sleep,” she says, going on to describe her method.

“I use one hairpin — not a tight one, a curved one, and gently pin up the front part so it still has movement. And then I might do a little heat styling in one or two places. When I work out, I do the same thing; I pin up only the part next to the scalp. I use Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, which is good as a texturiser.”

Proving supermodels are just like us for the second time, Crawford also admits a reluctance to exercise. Although unlike us, she still forces herself to do some. “I just do it. I don’t even think about it. It’s so ingrained. Scheduling it really helps. Putting on the gym clothes is the hard part,” she says.

Making ABS 3d-Printed Plastic Look Like Gold -- Paint Testing

I'm having a blast with my new 3D Printer, and the first thing I'm printing is jewelry.  Tiaras, necklaces, pendants, LED jewelry enclosures.. all the perfectly sized things I've always wanted but haven't been able to make until now.

There's just one problem... this printer prints ABS plastic.  White plastic jewelry is just... not... quite what I'm going for.  There are lots of colors available but they all look like plastic.  I want them to glisten and gleam like gold or sparkle and shine like silver.

I tried 5 different kinds of paint on this stuff to see what results I liked best.

Rustoleum Metallic Gold Spray Paint:  This is shiny.  It's super uber shiny.  It shows a lot of detail-- the texture of the model really comes through.  However, it's spray paint.. there is no carefully painting just part of the model without a lot of tedious masking.  And, well, it looks like gold spray paint.  BUT IT IS SHINY!

Liquid Leaf Renaissance Gold:  I had high hopes for this one.  It's thick and opaque and dries fast.  It's impossible to clean up if you spill or get it on you.  But the color turned out.. well, sort of dull and orangey.  It looks like painted plastic.  Not really worth it.

Testors Copper Enamel:  This was my favorite of the lot.  It's shiny but not SO shiny that it looks completely fake.  It's easy to apply (I used a q-tip since I don't want to bother with turpentine) and I can cover just the top layer of printing while leaving the lower layer blank for texture.  It's cheap too.  This is made for painting model cars so I guess they know how to make plastic look like metal.  Win.

Liquitex Bronze Acrylic:  I didn't have high hopes for the acrylic, and therefore it did not disappoint me.  To be fair, this is a bronze rather than a gold but I've never really had a great gold acrylic.  Acrylic paint is easy to use, easy to clean up, but just doesn't pack a lot of punch.

Rub n'Buff Antique Gold:  This is a wax based rub that is supposed to make wood and other porous materials gleam like gold.  ABS isn't really porous, but I rubbed n' buffed n' rubbed n'buffed and it turned out about like the Liquid Leaf.  Not my favorite, and with all that rubbin' n' buffin' it's hard to be precise.

Vitrail Gold Glass Paint:  I tried this one because I like putting LEDs inside my pendants and I wanted to test out something translucent.  This paint is translucent all right.  It's really thin and kind of runny and looks like gold paint, and not like metal at all.  I could see using this as an undercoat on the lower layers of ABS, to let the light through, but then covering the rest of the pendant in enamel or something else.  Didn't blow me away.

I didn't bother with oil paint or watercolors since they're really not made to be metallic.  End result: I like the enamel the best, and it's also the cheapest so that's a win.  It's easy to get and comes in thousands of colors.  For big jobs the metallic spray paint works great, but for most stuff I'll probably be using enamel.

3D Printed Neopixel and Trinket Necklace

I got an UP! Mini 3D printer for Christmas this year.  Wowza.  I'm SO excited.. I haven't stopped playing with it since just about the minute I unwrapped it and I'm having tons of fun.

I printed a mermaid seashell, then I printed Elsa's crown from Frozen which I found on Thingverse.  I'm such a girl.

I've been making necklaces lately (this LED Turtle necklace that I made as a Christmas gift is my favorite so far).  It's a challenge to fit all the electronics and the battery and microcontroller into a small enough package that sits comfortably around my neck, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

I decided I wanted to design and print a pendant that is just the right size for a neopixel ring and Trinket microcontroller, with enough space for a small rechargeable LiPo battery and a nice flat back that closes up and looks pretty.  The ABS plastic filament my printer uses diffuses light really nicely so I decided to try using multiple thicknesses to add interest and texture.

This is harder than you'd think.. I've never done 3D design before and it makes me think in ways I haven't had use since high school geometry.   But it's also much easier than you'd think because there are some awesome free tools out there that had me up and running in minutes.

I have been using Tinkercad and I like it so far.. I've got a lot to learn but after 5-10 different attempts I ended up with a pretty delightful 3-D Printable necklace enclosure.


It's got a hole for the USB port for charging.  It has another hole for the wires to come out at the top.  It has a front side which is rounded to hide the electronics and a back side which is flat and smooth against my neck when I wear it.  (next step will be to learn how to make them snap neatly together, but hey, give me a minute, it's only my first day).  It also has a pretty cutout pattern of lines and circles to diffuse the light in an interesting way.

I printed it out, then painted it gently with gold leaf paint to give it some sparkle and more definition.  The paint is opaque so it really brings out the design.

For the electronics, I'm using a Trinket 3v and a LiPo charger, both of which I removed the battery connectors from and soldered directly to the pads instead.  (Those little connectors are SO BIG when you stack them up!  The components stack quite neatly without them)

I'm using a 12 Neopixel Ring and a single LED from a Neopixel strip in the middle.  The code is my new favorite "Holiday Twinkle Lights" sketch using FastLED.  I made this one gold and white fairy lights since it looks so nice with the gold leaf paint.

I'm also using a magnetic clasp as an on/off switch, which seems to be my new favorite switch method for necklaces.  It's super elegant and clean.

I'm pretty proud of this!  My first 3D Printed Design Thing and it feels so professional and slick.  :) :)

Animated Glow Fur Neopixel Scarf Tutorial

So, this is exciting.

I've been invited to become a contributor to the Adafruit Learning Center -- Adafruit's online shop is where I buy most of the supplies for all the light-up costumes I've been making lately.

Adafruit's tutorial style is right up my alley.  They have a good number of beginner-friendly projects and a lot of the guides focus on LED wearables and cosplay.  The firewalker shoes and sparkle skirt tutorials are what got me all excited and interested in making LED costumes in the first place, and the Arduino lessons and project ideas made it actually possible.  I've opened up a whole new world of fun and learned so much this past year and I'm super excited and grateful to be able to contribute to the site that got me here.

My first tutorial was just published yesterday: Animated Neopixel Glow Fur Scarf

Check it out.  It's a pretty easy project -- beginner level sewing and beginner level soldering, with copy-and-paste-able Arduino code that I made pretty easy to customize.  I'm extremely proud of it.

Let me know if you make one!

The Evolution of Celebrity Hairstyles

Celebrity hairstyles have always influenced the way that the rest of the country looks, acts, and dresses. Before movies, celebrities were much less in the public eye than they are today. Usually the celebrities dressed and styled their hair in the way that fashion designers modeled on fashion plates and in magazines. However, with the invention of movies, all of that changed. Hairstyles in the early days of movies The early days of movies saw a shift from people entertaining themselves at home to entertaining themselves at the movie theater. The celebrity hairstyles were full of glamour and style. Hair was twisted and puffed and slicked into unnatural positions and styles. It was considered poor taste to have natural-looking hair. Even though movies were popular from the 1920s to 1940s, movie stars still dressed and acted like high society individuals. Individualism had not yet emerged. The hairstyles of celebrities were still similar to that of the styles worn by every one during formal occasions. Hairstyles from the 50's and 60's The 50's and 60's marked a change in the way movies were made and how celebrities dressed their hair. Music became a sub-culture like it never was before. This brought in the individualism from musicians which had an impact on how both famous and non-famous people wore their hair. However, there was still an emphasis on the right shape and style even for celebrity hairstyles. Hairstyles from 1970s and 1980s During this time, celebrity hairstyles began to differ from one another. Men grew their hair long, or kept it very short. Women were able to wear straight or curly hair. It was popular to have a somewhat wild appearance to the hair. The hairstyles reflected the feeling of rebellion that pervaded that time in history. The mullet, large perm, and feathered hair were all hairstyles popular during this time. Hairstyles from 1990s After the rebellion in the 70's and 80's, society calmed down somewhat. They got down to business in the 90's. Men began to wear their hair shorter again, and they almost eliminated the curl for men altogether. Women tamed their unruly perms and cut them short into business-appropriate bobs. Bangs were very popular among celebrities during this time. Modern hairstyles Today celebrity hairstyles vary drastically. There is a feeling of anything goes in Hollywood, and it shows in clothing choices and hairstyle choices of the stars. In some cases, popular hairstyles are adapted from famous political figures as well. The natural look for hair is very important. Even if a style takes hours to arrange, it is arranged to look as natural as possible. Every celebrity's individual beauty is celebrated. This freedom is apparent in the styles of society in general as well.

Latest Kids' Fashion Trends You Should Get For Your Children

As with adult fashions, kids fashion also seems to have a lot of different trends, however fashion trends for kids are very different to fashion trends for adults, because these trends need to appeal to two different sets of people: the children who wear the clothes and the adults who pay for them! Fashion for children does not usually imitate the fashion trends which are popular for adults, because children and adults have very different needs. Here is a rundown of some of the latest fashion trends for kids which you should be buying for your children this season. Organic/Ethical Kids Clothing One of the latest celebrity fashion trends is to advocate ethical, organic clothing for children. Organic cotton is one of the most common ethical choices. Organic cotton is made from cotton which has been grown without the use of pesticides or genetically modified crops. Some experts say that as well as being great for the wildlife in the surrounding area, organic cotton is also softer and kinder to your child's skin. If your child has very delicate skin, it may be worth buying one piece of organic clothing, just to see whether it will make a difference. If it does, you can start buying a lot more organic produce. Cartoon Clothing Children absolutely love brightly colored clothing, especially if it has a picture of their favorite cartoon character on it. Although the cartoon characters may change, the cartoon style will always remain popular with children, because it is something which they can identify with. Brightly colored clothing is also great for parents, because it can help them to keep an eye on their children. Fur-lined boots Although the popularity of fur-lined (Ugg-style) boots waxes and wanes in the world of adult fashion, they remain popular amongst girls who are under 12. This is because they are practical and look good. Kids can run around in these boots, and play lots of kid's games, whilst they also help to keep their feet warm during the winter months. For a cheaper and more ethical choice, choose boots which are lined with fake fur or fake sheepskin. Knitwear This winter, knitwear is a popular choice for kids, because it is so warm, and it is available in lots of different style. Most parents choose to layer a knit jumper over another t-shirt, to help to keep their kids warm enough. However, some children will find knitwear to be irritating if they wear it in direct contact with their skin.

Steps in Getting a Job in a Celebrity Home

While most of us dreamed of living in the luxury of a beautiful home like those celebrity homes we see in the papers, in the internet or in television, many are finding ways in living in these homes that require less preparation. Not all of us can afford to achieve our dreams and own a multi-million home just like that. However, we have alternatives in making our dreams come true. One of these alternatives is getting a job in one of the many extravagant celebrity homes for you to live in your dream house. These celebrities have a high maintenance lifestyle that entails them to hire personal assistants, chef, trainer, security guard, babysitter, house managers, interior designer, house cleaner and nannies. Applying for these kinds of jobs are rather easy but getting hired is the major challenge for those who are interested. Celebrities are always careful in screening applicants that they think would best fit in the work. Considering that they are famous people, their lives are prone to threats and other forms of danger. Trust is something very essential for most celebrities who hire people to work for them. Furthermore, experience gives you an edge in being chosen among other applicant. In preparation for such, here are some steps you may want to follow. Research. Just like any job, it's definitely a plus if you have a background on the company you are applying for. Search for information about the family, home address, hobbies, and all other details you may need to know about the celebrity you want to work for. With this information, you can have an overview if you will enjoy working with that particular celebrity or not. Also, you need to gather information regarding your job. If you are a chef for instance, you might want to know the favorite cuisine of your celebrity employer. Transfer. Move into the celebrity's vicinity. Inquire from residents or local officials what the celebrity does often in the neighborhood. Chances in getting hired are better when you live in the same community. Remember, trust is what you should earn from them and being in the same locality gives you that advantage. Promote. Make posters or fliers that could advertise your services. Or better yet, develop ads and websites so that it is easier for them to recognize you. Interact. Have strong references by working for influential people. They may not be celebrities but they can be recognized personalities in the neighborhood or elsewhere and are acquainted with the stars. Do not fail to ask for permission when you want to make them as your reference. You can also contact the personal assistant directly. They are indeed the right people to ask about the job. They serve as your gate towards your dream house! With the same enthusiasm in getting information about the celebrity, acquire details about the PA's too. Exchange business cards with them if possible. Prepare. You don't want all your efforts be to put to waste right? Do some warm-ups before getting into the battle. Prepare you attire, your resumé, and your mind and body for the interview. Stay professional and do not get too enthusiastic when you are finally given the chance to be interviewed. Celebrities do not want to work with people who are most likely to become stalkers or obsessed fans. Working with celebrities especially in celebrity homes gives you more than just what you want for a living. Being in those mansions alone is already an awesome experience. Plus, you'll be getting the pay you deserve. Just make sure that you are responsible in doing your tasks at the same time you are enjoying your work.

Celebrities and Their Influence on Fashion and Shoe Trends

In our society celebrities are enormously glorified as fashion divas and style icons by fashion magazines and tabloids. Fashion journalists and photographers go overboard in covering fashion trends that celebs are either following or setting, and not just on the red carpet but even when they're grocery shopping. In a way they project to people what trends they should be following while dressing up for an occasion and also in a subtle manner dictate to them how they can get a chic look when going out in the town. Youngsters and teenagers in particular come under the strong influence of the media projection of their favourite celebrity and start emulating them. This is how trends become fashions. Celebrity shoe fashion While accessories have always been there to add more zing to you semblance, these play a more significant role in the current fashion trends. Earlier accessories were merely used to dress up an outfit but nowadays it seems people choose their accessories first and then find a dress to match them. All credit for the change in perception can be awarded to the media that spends reams of paper in discussing the shoes, bags and jewelery worn by the celebs. Fashionable celebrities in their bid to become the talk of the press do not mind choosing the most jarring shoes as they are well aware their shoes will be noticed. In a way, celebrities make use of outrageous high heel shoes to help them to be noticed and remain in the buzz.

Some of the most shoe-worthy celebs reputed for their extreme craze for high heel shoes are - -Victoria Beckham - Posh Spice, as she is better known, feels she is addicted to high heel shoes.

I'm addicted," the sensational singer and actress once exclaimed. Her high heel stiletto shoes and platform high heel shoes have created quite a stir in the shoe fashion world. -Sarah Jessica Parker - Her shoe loving character Carrie Bradshaw in the TV series Sex and the City made Manolo Blahnik a household name. A fashionista with considerable influence in the fashion world, SJP herself is an active ambassador of designer high heel shoes.

Teens and 20-somethings are especially seen desperate to follow trends started by their favourite celebrity. In most cases however, non-celebs can't afford the designer shoes that celebrities so often flaunt, so they have to opt for cheaper imitations of the shoes that adorn the A-list celebrities of the likes of Madonna and Victoria Beckham. According to style experts, it makes people feel proud that they are in the shoes (in terms of design of course) of their fashion idols. The strong desire to mirror celebrities at times makes youngsters copy even the most bizarre shoe styles sported by the them. Stylists warn people against following celebrity shoe designs blindly because rather than looking fashionable, young girls often end-up being ridiculed by their peers.

The Best Male Celebrity Hairstyles

The term 'celebrity hairstyles' simply refers to hairstyles that come to be much-liked, thanks to their being the chosen hairstyles by celebrities and other opinion leaders. Some are completely unique or even new hairstyles, 'discovered' and brought to the limelight by the celebrities in question. Others are old and well known hairstyles, classic hairstyles as it were, that are always in the limelight, but which are 'freshly' popularized by the celebrities in question. A celebrity could take a traditional hairstyle that was one the verge of being antiquated, say the 'punk' hairstyle (as it is now), and by starting to be spotted with it on, turn it into an extremely popular hairstyle again. This is likely to be the case where the celebrity in question is a well liked one. The celebrities in question here, by the way, could include those of any variety: from star athletes, to charismatic politicians, movie stars, phenomenal musicians and even popular preachers. Since every point in time has its own 'celebrities' (thanks to the ingrained need for role models in humans), every point in time is also bound to have its own celebrity hairstyles, inspired by these celebrities of the moment. So armed with this background information about celebrity hairstyles, we can now turn to a discussion on the best male celebrity hairstyles. As it turns out, there is never a point of unanimity regarding which the best celebrity-hairstyles for men (or otherwise) are. What comes across as 'best' to one person could be extremely off-putting to another, so that this subject is always a subject of perpetual conjecture. The best male celebrity hairstyles therefore vary from one group of people to another; depending on their -interests and whom they consider to be their role models (or celebrities). What is important to note is that even where what can be termed as quite universally accepted 'best' male celebrity hairstyles emerge, they don't tend to turn into phenomena, worn by everyone. This is unlike the case with those that emerge as the best female celebrity hairstyles, which upon getting the relevant endorsements from the celebrities, tend to turn into major fads, worn by all women who want to appear 'fashion-conscious.' This disparity between the adoption rates for the best male celebrity-hairstyles and the best female celebrity hairstyles is mainly attributable to the fact that the male psyche tends to more difficult to alter. Men are 'stubborn' and as psychologists who study these things keep on tell us, the male mind is less prone to persuasion than the female psyche. So we end up with a situation where the best male celebrity hairstyles get greatly admired by men, but not as widely adopted by them (as they prefer to keep their styles, as they put it). A man has to be 'himself' is a commonly voiced sentiment in this regard. Yet there are some truly good male celebrity-hairstyles, which manage to penetrate the barrier of stubbornness, and go on to find widespread adoption in male circles. Those - and they tend to be few and far between - are the truly best male celebrity hairstyles.
