Why "The Bendy Betty"???

I wanted to come up with a title that pulled together my 3 favorite interests: Retro Pin Up, Yoga, and Zombies, but I couldn't find a suitable "b" word to capture the comedic value of the living dead, so I settled for 2 of the 3.  "Bendy" for all the contortion postures practiced by yogis and "Betty" to pay homage to the bombshell beauties of yesteryear.  My fascination with zombies will have to be considered a perk to this blossoming blog.

My intentions are to document my experiences as a Pin Up photographer, albeit a hobby, and share those experiences with you, the reader.  I plan to post videos of me trying out vintage hairstyles and make up techniques and to review products as I go along; including hair styling products, make up, and nail care.  I'm a pretty environmentally conscious kind of gal, so I'll try to stick with earth friendly products, but I also understand the need to keep costs down, because, if you are like me, in this economy, you're on a pretty tight budget when it comes to anything veering from necessity.  So I'll also try reviewing products that won't whittle your wallet.

I love yoga and all it's benefits: the connection of body, mind and spirit, the focus it brings to everyday moments, and the gentle ease at which you begin to flow through life...  Personally, I don't use more than a mat during most of my sequences, but occasionally I'll grab a block, strap, or towel.  I'd love to share my views on practice aides, as well as comfortable clothing, books, DVDs, videos and studios in the Anchorage, AK area and in the Westminster, MD area.

As for zombies, well, anything goes!  For quite some time now I've wanted to start up a zombie group on Facebook, but never got around to it.  Here, I'll go over my favorite books, movies, pop culture, and latest wave of zombie craze.  Feedback is always welcome.

Remember, I'm a country girl, living a backwoods (some would say "backwards") lifestyle, and I don't always conform to the "norm."  I'll keep it simple and direct; hopefully humorous and fun to follow.  This was just a "get to know me" first blog and a "what to expect" from future blogs overview.  I look forward to entertaining y'all some more real soon!  I'm going to post once a week; every Thursday, if I can manage, or have anything to say.  I won't say what next week's blog will be about, because I don't know yet myself.  I'll try to have an idea and make it worth your while.

Ciao.
