Mrs. Henderson Presents

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season. I know that I did! I know that Santa brought me the most wonderful vintage items a girl could possibly ask for, and my New Years also went as equally wonderful. hehe And right after that was my birthday on January 7th. So my boyfriend totally lucked out on that one! hehe But anyways, around the time of my birthday I got very sick and was confined to my bed with nothing to do but watch tv, and shop on Etsy. That's when I ran across a wonderful movie that takes place in the 30s-40s that actually came out back in 2005. So, if any of you wonderful ladies get the chance...I do recommend you checking it out. Visually, it's beautiful but I wouldn't recommend watching it around children simply because it does have some nudity in it. But still a wonderful movie!

Here is the trailer:

Holiday Ideas to Drool Over!!

As of lately, I have been running back and forth like a crazy person for the last couple of weeks doing some christmas shopping, and going to all kinds of holiday parties. When it came down to the time of my first holiday party that I was to attend, it dawned on me that I didn't have a dress, and was completely unprepared. Go figure! So, I went back through several websites for items that I have been drooling over for some time, and decided to just go ahead and buy some things to wear to the parties.

Well, the parties were smashing but since I didn't have my camera at the time, I will have to give you all a little teaser to help fuel your own ideas for the holidays!

Make-up for the Holidays

It has become that time of the season again when we all are buying wonderful holiday gifts for our loved ones, putting up the Christmas tree and decorating it, hanging the stockings over the fireplace, and drinking hot cocoa. So, what better of time to feast your eyes on one of my favorite things...make-up!


Now I have been a big fan of the delightfully tattooed Kat Von D for several years now. I have watched her over her course on different tv series, bought her books, and when she came out with her own make-up line for Sephora... I just had to give in a try it! I, of course, was pleasently surprised by the quality, and when her new collection came out...I bought it!

Adora means beloved one in Latin! And what could be a better name for a collection then that? The True Romance Eyeshadow Palette $34 is a limited edition (so if you like it, buy it fast!) palette of 8 richly pigmented eyeshadow shades. Adora fuses both love and fury-one side has an assortment of frosty whites and silver, the other includes a range of sexy black and maroon shades, giving a perfect spectrum of shades that bring an edgy-glam creativity to your make-up.

The painted love lipstick $18 takes Kat's signature lip color, a sophisticated red, and expands it into a range of smoldering shades, from crimson to blood red. It comes housed in a deluxe tube with a clear Lucite bottom that shows off the color inside, and the cap is stenciled with silver roses on matte black—inspired by Kat's favorite tattoo. My favorites being-Backstage Bambi (hot pink), Hellbent (blood red), Stiletto (orange red), Underage red (bright crimson), and Lolita (dusty rose).

Blog Lovin....

I had just currently got home from a wonderful lunch date with my beau, when I turned on the tv. Another film noir movie was on TCM which fits just perfectly for the Halloween season. I noticed that Jeanne Crain was in it and I thought to myself, I know of someone who looks like her!


Jeanne Crain

So, with that I thought it was time to show some blog lovin to a lady that could use some recognition. Her name is Ashley and you can find her at miss1940sdarling.blogspot.com. She's a wonderful lady with amazing vintage style and taste! So, please go show her blog some love!


Ashley

P.S. Ashley I hope you don't mind I used one of your pictures from facebook!

Update...

Wow, I haven't realized how long it has been since I last posted anything and I though you all deserved alittle something from me even if it is really just nothing. But since I have been feeling under the weather, this gives me plenty of time to chat with all of you.

If you haven't heard me mention this before, I have been planning on moving as far as possible from Pa. Well, several months ago I put my house up for sale and began planning on my move to Arizona. I haden't gotten anything positive from it so I finally listed it with a realator. I've had serveral prospects with hopes of someone finally buying my house. Within all this time, my beau and I have broken up and have since gotten back together. This time, he came to me with moving to San Diego, Cali instead.

So, I am happy to say we've been planning on buying a place together and making Cali our offical home!

Goodbye for now...
