Upper right is the Queen Meabh £1 note. This note was part of the 1976-1993 Central Bank of Ireland issue and was released 03-02-83.. The five pound note is Johannes Scotus Eriugena (ca. 815–877.. It was issued as part of the 1976-1993 Central Bank of Ireland
issue and was released on Oct 29th 1981. He looks like Uncle Fester to me!) The older one pound issue note or punt depicts Lady Lavery issued on 2-10-69 as part of the .1961-1976 back note series. In 2002 all notes were recalled in place of the Euro. Note that when i say a note was released on 03-02-1993 that means Feb.3rd 1993. They switch the date and month!

I love models who get up at 4am to go out and shoot with a bunch of photographers they have never met. Unbelievable, and amazing. Thank you ladies... you made it so much more fun. BTW.. they were still shooting at 6pm that evening... Wow.

I took this pic at the Royal Cafe in Story City (Home of Kumla Wednesdays). I have also submitted it to Passive Aggressive Notes so fingers crossed that it will show up on their site.
I snapped it because of being a great P-A note, but also because it reminded me of Doug Benson's joke about the dog with a sign on his cage. "WARNING: I bite." That is good to know, little doggie. But that is not the most important thing about you. You should have a sign that says "I make signs."

Some other tips (from onewed.com)…
Get a good set of hot rollers. Hot rollers are key to creating loose, natural-looking curls. Wash your hair, apply some curling cream to the roots, flip your head over and blow dry upside down. Flip hair again and brush it out lightly. When your hair is dry, section off large pieces and set them in hot rollers, starting at your forehead, working your way to the sides, and finishing with the back. Rub some curling cream between your palms, remove the rollers, then finger-style to reduce frizz. “You’ll be left with soft, piece-y curls that are easy to sweep up and pin in place,” says Romero.
• Use the train track bobby pin method. “When you’re ready to create the updo, put away your comband brush. “They’re a trade secret. They don’t slip and come in colors to match your hair.” Starting at the front of your head, take a three-inch section and gently pull it back, securing with two bobby pins, criss-
• Plan ahead, and practice!
Basic 40s and 50s Curl Sets « Skirting The Issue
I love sharing my little revelations with you guys, so since I finally got two basic curl sets figured out I thought I should write a tutorial. I’m going to show you a good basic 40s set, and a basic 50s set. The difference is that the 40s set has more volume on the bottom half and generally lies smooth over the crown, where the 50s set has more volume all over. Though they seem to be so similar you could easily interchange them and hardly anybody would know the difference. Depending on your hair, one could turn out looking like the other.
I’m going to show you the setting patterns for rollers since most of us are not quite skilled enough in the art of pin curls, but if you are they’re easily converted. You’ll have more and smaller curls but the directions will be the same. These are great beginner sets; they don’t involve a bunch of different layers going in opposite directions, and with practice they can easily be done in 10-15 minutes. For the sake of simplicity, I’ll be showing you my own hair after being set by the diagrams I’ve made (though I take no credit for designing them. Chances are a bazillion people before me have done the same ones). The celebrities hair have of course not been done using my diagrams, but it was probably set in a similar way and they do a better job of showing the difference between the decades, and an idealized look at how these should turn out. Now don’t forget your end papers and setting lotion! Ready?
Let’s start with the 40s set.
Front
Back
Veronica Lake, who's hair is even longer than my own.
Lauren Bacall, with a more traditional length.
This set is rolled only up to your ears, excepting the bang area which goes right up to the scalp, so the long curl will help frame your face. All curls will be going down, but you can tilt the ones in front towards your face if you like. You can do this in as many rows as you like, but for normal to fine hair and using rollers one can easily be enough. I prefer to have the curls done in an even row(s) all around the head, so that when you brush it out it creates nice uniform waves, but as every day 40s hair tends to be a little fluffier this isn’t so necessary. This is in fact an excellent set to try doing with pin curls.
You probably won't need this.
When your hair is set, it might actually look pretty cute. If you come out with kinks in the top, you can use a flat iron or curling iron to smooth it out. Keep in mind that sponge rollers with their plastic clasps do tend to create kinks more than others, so I’m not partial to them. But you can use whatever you’re most comfortable with. I’m loyal to my pillow rollers, and when they’re not available I rag roll with whatever I can find. There’s a how-to video on this at the bottom of the article. Here’s the 40s set done with strips of paper towels. It needed to be brushed again, so don’t mind the ringlets and crazy flyaways.
And now here’s the 50s set.
Damn, I got that on the first try! I wish I could say the same for the second and third tries. We’re all learning together. You might find that this looks similar to the 40s set, however it’s rolled right up to the scalp which creates more volume all over. You can see the difference a lot better on shorter hair.
Elizabeth Taylor's shorter hair demonstrates the volume starting right from the crown, as opposed to the more bottom-heavy look of the 40s.
Again, keep in mind that your hair cut affects the final look, so you might not have those face framing curls from the pictures. And if your hair is longer like mine, the weight might keep the crown looking smooth and 40s no matter what. That doesn’t mean it won’t look good, just go with what you have and make it yours.
My crappy drawing is a rough guide to how the curls should be positioned. Hopefully it's not TOO crappy to understand.
As you can see, there are about 4 curls going down the center of the head; the front one going forward and the others going back. The second one can go towards what will be the thick side of your part, but I find it difficult for some reason and unnecessary. Then you’ll have two on each side going down.
The easiest way to go about this is to start with your hair parted deeply to whichever side you prefer, about over the arch of your eyebrow. Grab the section above your ear on the thin side and curl it down, or angled slightly forward if you like. Then grab a section of similar size behind it and curl it down as well, trying to get it to the same level. Then you can do the two curls on the top of your head, separated by another symmetrical parting over the other eyebrow. Curl the other side to match the first, and finally separate what’s left in the back into two curls going downward. Like before, if you have more hair or you’re using smaller rollers or pin curls, you’ll have more curls but they’ll still be going the same way. When you’re done you’ll look incredibly silly. Cover with a Rosie bandanna.
Make sure to brush this one out slowly and against your hand to keep it as smooth as possible, and shape the curls so they blend together. Hopefully you come out with a winner!
Like this!
I hope I explained these well enough. If you have any questions let me know. I’m going to finalize this by showing you a video that explains rag rolling quite well, since it’s incredibly useful if you don’t have any rollers handy and it’s something a lot of people have trouble with. It’s not half as hard as you might think. Good luck, guys!

Skirting The Issue
Skirting The Issue
Now, the most important thing to create a beehive is a rat, or hair filler. I mean, you don’t NEED one, but it’s a hell of a lot harder without it, and you’re more likely to end up with a rat’s nest instead. I use a long narrow rat for bumper bangs, so I curved it into a U shape with the middle facing up for this look. You can also just use a round or ball-y shaped one. A lot of people put cotton or fake/real hair into some pantyhose or a hair net for this. Bumpits are crap btw. Put your rat on the crown of your head or slightly higher in case of sagging or just to make it all the more epic. Pin it in place. Then bit by bit, take the hair from the top of your head and tease the living shit out of it, and pin it over the rat. Do this until you look like Dolly Parton. The last bit that will cover the surface should be left smooth. Then you just need pomade and a light touch with a comb to smooth the top out, and lot of hairspray. I slept in mine and it somehow actually survived, only shrinking a little. Which was perfect as I was feeling lazy and liked it and wanted to leave it up for work. Anyway, you can leave the bottom in beachy waves like Bridgette Bardot, put it in a ponytail, or for more of a Hairspray or formal look, twist it up into a French twist and tuck the ends in.
Holy crap that was easy.
This is not me, but I do feel this fabulous.

This is amazing. Note that I tried cleaning the dirty brick with a toothbrush and soapy water before.

Angelina Jolie Collaborating on Jewelry Line - Jewelry - Accessories - WWD.com
As if being an actress, director, mother and U.N. goodwill ambassador didn’t keep her busy enough, Angelina Jolie is collaborating on a jewelry collection.
She has teamed with Robert Procop, a former chief executive officer of Asprey, who now makes bespoke pieces under the name Robert Procop Exceptional Jewels, to create a collection of jewelry with statement stones.
Procop has been designing pieces for Jolie for the past decade, and they began their collaboration over the last year. The actress wore one of the pieces they created, a faceted black spinel necklace bezel set in rose gold, to the premiere of her film “Salt” in Berlin last summer.
“Angelina has very classic style,” said Procop, who showed items from his collection in London last week. “These are pieces she wears herself.”
Among the collaborative pieces are a pebble-size, pale green 353-carat beryl pendant, in a rose gold setting and worn on a chain of cushion shape beryl stones, and a graphic, tablet-shape 12.02-carat vivid green emerald ring set in rose gold. Procop said Jolie’s design for the emerald was inspired by “ancient tablet engravings,” and is based on a similar design she created with Procop as a gift for her partner, Brad Pitt.
Pieces from the collection will not be sold in stores, but will be sold privately through Procop’s network of clients, with all of the proceeds from the collaborative designs going toward Jolie’s charity, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. Each piece will be priced individually.
The collection follows Jolie and Pitt’s collaboration on a capsule jewelry line with Asprey last year, which also benefitted the actress’s charity.
Procop designed and sourced pieces that Jolie wears in her new movie, “The Tourist,” including a vintage diamond choker and a pair of yellow sapphire, rectangular cushion cut earrings.
In addition to serving as ceo of Asprey for two years, Procop was ceo of the then-Asprey & Garrard from 1999 to 2000. After the brands were split, he was ceo of Garrard from 2006 to 2008. For the latest venture, Procop said he was drawn to his roots in “exceptional jewels.” Procop has opened a design studio in Beverly Hills, as well as a laboratory in Geneva and offices in New York and Hong Kong.
He noted that in uncertain economic times, many of his clients see major jewelry purchases as investments. Procop works with stones such as emeralds sourced from Colombia, sapphires from Brazil and red and pink diamonds from the Argyle mines in Australia. Among his current designs are a 77.45-carat, brilliant step cushion cut sapphire ring and a 77.7-carat paraiba ring set in rose gold.
“The design of the jewelry starts with the stone, and how to maximize its brilliance and color,” Procop said. “I design the piece of jewelry around it — a beautiful stone should sit by itself.”
