I Heart Generations 1912

I’m having trouble writing this because I’m currently looking at this picture thinking “It’s just so good”. Yes, I have a weakness for sparkly things, but this is some of the best. Ok focus Sara, focus, tell the nice people why you just spent 10 minutes staring at this picture. I don’t usually go for brand names or designer labels. I’ve never been one to have to “collect them all”. This was true in all aspects of my life, even jewelry. That was until I became acquainted with the Generations 1912 line a few years ago.

Generations 1912 is the jewelry that you should have inherited. It’s a line of art-deco inspired jewelry. It’s so authentic because it’s inspired by the original molds from that period. Bob Weinman is the jewelry designer, this is the third generation his family has been doing this. The molds are from his own grandfather’s jewelry line. As such, there’s an attention to detail that we don’t see anymore. Lots of hand engraving & milgrain work. Plus they use gemstones that are true to the era, such as Alexandrite, even though it’s very hard to find now. The jewelry is quite affordable, a very good value for what you pay. These are the wow pieces that generations from now will cherish. Ok, I can’t write anymore, the pretty pictures are distracting me again.

Old Fashioned Fame

After watching “Shear Genius” last night I can’t help but wonder why do people do it? Why do they fight with other people on national television over award money that they could’ve made in the month styling hair? Plus, taxes will get most of the money. Why do people agree to be on TV shows where they are stranded on an island & forced to eat rats. It’s because we all want to be famous I suppose. However, I’m just not the reality show type. I’d be too embarrassed to get into petty fights on national television. It seems that these are the only reality stars that become famous, the really witchy ones, & that’s not what I want to be known for. I’d much rather find a talent agent & become famous the old fashion way. Showbiz LTD can put you in touch with the people that will put you in movies & commercials, as well as open auditions. I think you’ll have much more lasting power as a star doing this. With reality shows, you are only famous until the next reality show starts & someone on that show is more insane & annoying than you were. This way you can be known for your talent, not your drama.
