all pinned-up and don't know what to do....

I love Rihanna...I think she is beautiful, and she has bold style, that's edgy, yet glam-pretty! And I lvoe that she plays around with make-up....her eyes are always usually light on the lids and darker below....very sul-tray!!!

I love this look!!! It's like a modern day, edgy, pin-up look! Clean eye...sharp cat eye, winged liner......clean, pouty mouth.....gorge-ay!!!! (everything's gonna end in "ay" tod-ay! ha ha)

Rihanna doesn't care what people think...we shouldn't let people other people that have tongues that are ready to make fun of anything different, because they are too scared to be "non-boring"....ruin it for us making us scared to get things said to us like:
"nice shoes!"...."where'd you get that shirt"..."what is on your face?".....
OUR RESPONSES: I like it....and that's all that matters!

It doesn't matter what kind of car we drive, how big or small our house is, what we wear, how we talk, what color our hair is, if we are covered in tattoos from head to toe, what we look like....
no one has the right to judge us...
and if they do...they need to get the telephone pole out of their own eye...before the try to pick on a toothpick in our eye...

God gave us the creativity to think they way we do, put outfits together the way we do, and the desire to like something....if you want to wear a pink tutu and cowboy boots....do and wear it with confidence...and if anyone says anything to you like: "oh, nice tutu"....say "thanks, nice jeans!"....hee hee hee....or if they say "what are you wearing!?!"...and that sass-tone we all know....
"helloooooooo, a tutu!"...ha ha ha ha....or "same thing as you...just fancier sorts of grape leaves to cover the body"....hee hee

(for some reason...and I even say it in my video....the hot pink lips I did, looked the same color as Rihanna's in real life, but in the video and pictures...it looks light pink...argh!)
I love this look!
Be bold..be free...and don't let anyone stomp on you being you.....be the boldest, most confident you....and if y ou don't feel confident...fake it! Pretend you're going to meet up with me, we're going shopping....and we don't care what people say about how we dress.....Let them stare!
(i know kids can be mean in school, so if you're in school.....know that I used to wear weird outfits....and I got told mean things....but I didn't care, I'd show up with my bright red baggy jeans and white doc martens the next day too)

May the Fashion & Beauty Force be with you! ha ha ha ha

enjoy the video...try it and make it yours!! huge love all my lovelies....you beautiful and wonderful...and I cheer on any fun and creative shoices you make today!!!! Let's go and paint the world "non-boring"!!!! love you all!!!! kandee

A Treat from Wonderland

with the biggest of love seasons....chasing us down til' the weekend...
I thought, "what better time to splash on some "Eau De Alice In Wonderland"....than now....I think the real movie (Tim Burton style), comes out March 5th!

So let's go back...back in time...when I was cranking out costume videos like the Queen of hearts yelled "off with their heads!".....

these were some of my favorite looks to do....I hope you enjoy!

SIDENOTE: I played Alice, yes I broke the mold as the brunette-Alice, In Wonderland. I remember I even got to create the outfit...a 3-tiered skirt, each layer was a diff NEON color....with hi-top shoes, a neon green shirt, that I think I be-dazzled with either jewels or puffy paint! (Not nearly as fun as my friend Adam, who decorated his ride-able lawn mower with Puffy Paint...ha ha ha) I thinkI had a matching headband with crazy curly ribbons in matching NEON fashion! Yay early 90's! ha ha ha
(my favorite time to be on the teacups- across from the Alice in Wonderland ride, afternoon sunlights...glowing up the sky, and the candy-colored lamps above, begin to glow their sugary colors! Spin baby spin!)
The Alice In Wonderland ride at Disneyland is still one of my favy-favs! Just the wiggly ride out onto the flower leaves, on a lavender caterpillar....with giant flowers.....come on! And it's right across from the teacups....another of my favorite rides! (And Hi to Ashley Lujan!!! That's where we got to meet!xoxo)(me twirling into delerium on the teacups at Disneyland)

So here we go....may you have a delightful day....and if it feels overwhelming....upside down, chaotic, sad, maddening....may you think of the Wonderland.....there is wonder all around us....we just need to put on our "wonder-eyes" to see it!!!

Huge love my precious kandee-lights!!! teacupss full of joy, kandee

and here we goooooooooo!

a little bit of old hollywood....

how excited would you be to see this "glam-tastic" box sitting on your doorstep!?! Even the logo makes you feel like a Hollywood Starlet, sitting at her vanity table in a pink silk robe with white fuzzy trim...like Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn.....
.....AHHHHHHHHH.........(insert heavenly sound effects)......and look what was waiting inside!!!! I met Maxine...the dollface girl that owns this company...she is so sweet and adorable...and she said she would send me one! It was like the most fun birthday (or Christmas) present.....I have always wanted a vanity table...or just a place with lighting like show girls, or actresses of Hollywood's hay-day, would've used....and this is it baby!!!! It even has a dimmer switch!!! WHAT!!! I know....cray cray!
It is so stinkin' cute...and PINK! It's 3 feet wide....glam-big!
It's got 6 light bulbs...that ultra-true white...which is the only way to get the truest color, for skin-tone matching to perfect color choices for anything. Ain't nothin' like putting colors on in a yellow-ish lighted bathroom...and you wonder why your make-up looks funny all day! ha ha

And I love that it's a girl powered company...owned and run by Maxine...., she is the "adorablest"...I was met her at the Melrose Trading Post, I saw that pink mirror...and was drawn like a bug to a light! She loves flower rings, hoop earrings, nameplate jewelry (like my Supreme, necklace)...and I am so excited to see girls going after their dreams and starting awesome companies like Vanity Girl! She really is in West Hollywood, and the vanities are made in Los Angeles! I want to help her and support her company...go girl power!!!

It makes my room look so much more fun and glamorous!
It gives off the most beautiful, even, "divine" lighting...lighting makes the biggest difference!
QUICK STORY ON THE IMPORTANCE OF LIGHTING:
I once worked on this movie where one of the actresses wasn't being very nice! The lighting guy on the crew said.....you've never want to be mean to the lighting guys, because light can either make you look flawless and young...or we can make you look old and ugly! (ha ha ha ha)
here is me after I filmed the "Ke$ha" make-up video with this light! Luuuuuuv IT!!!!

WANT ONE...or WANT to see the other Vanity Girl Hollywood De-LIGHTS!!!!!
CLICK HERE: www.vanitygirlhollywood.com and tell Maxi I said HI!!!!!!

Thanks MAxi! I love my vanity!!! And I love that you started this company making the cutest Vanities I've EVER seen! And my make-up has been looking even better, since I can really see everything perfectly!

check out the "awesome" lighting...in this video....

huge love and perfect lighting.....kandee

"You don't even know me!"...

"so why do you judge my life...I always wondered people tried to hurt me...no happiness in their own lives so they act out all their jealousy".....these are some lyrics from the song below....which I love!
...you don't need to live your life any differently because some haters try to bring you down!

all the people right now who are dealing with insecure bullies, pathetic rumor creators, slanderous liars, and people who have nothing going on in their lives that they have ridiculous amounts of time to donate to spreading hate...(you never see these people putting the same kind of energy into something positive, like spending the same amount of time, helping the victims in Haiti, or donating time to hold babies in an orphanage, or reaching out to help starving children...and if they did, these are the kind of people that would boast about it, instead of doing it out of a kind heart...not needing to tell anyone about their "generous" acts.

I'm so tired of people trying to bring other people down...
looking down upon people with their judgemental eyes...
spreading their disgusting hate...
people thinking they know everything...about things they only "think" are true
spitting out cynical...mean words, like they are foaming at the mouth with their filth
creating things they think are true in the minds without knowing the truth...
making people feel horrible
and being ignorant to the fact that you are rendering yourself foolish if the only thing you read is the newspaper...and you think they publish what the truth is. It's been long known that the newspaper can place and edit things to make it sound however they want...if it doesn't sound interesting...than it's not news....so they splice and dice things to sound catchy. You can't take a few grains of sand....and say it's a beach! And that's what the newspapers do, they take a few pieces of information, add some "interest" and "drama", and SHA-ZAM.... a matter that was almost of no importance...now has become front page news!

I'm so sick and tired of people filled with anger and hate...so much that they spill it everywhere...I bet these people had the saddest, most pathetic lives. These are the same people that if someone wears something different, they have to make a comment. Why? Because they are so afraid of being different...they are followers, and that's why they don't like different things. They aren't secure enough to be different, to think differently, to think openly, and they have no clue how to not be judgemental. I feel bad for these people. They will always be miserable, and misery loves company...so they will always have other sad and pathetic people who will commiserate with them...and create little cesspools of their sickness.

We have no time to live in the swamps of misery and disgust, lies and hate...it's time to walk far away from the swamps of these people. Let them rot in their own disgust.

And we shall go on victoriously, living the wonderful lives we know we have, that God gave us. And He says to not listen to the lies that fools tell us. So it's time to tune them out, out our headphones of truth and happiness on, and ignore these fools.

I love this song right now....it's an anthem for anyone who is being judged, talked about, or just plain bothered by others who have no clue.

huge love today...may you walk proudly knowing you are wonderful, loved, and cherished.....I love you and God loves you, more than you know.....you were wonderfully made...and don't let anyone tell you different! xoxo kandee

Wal-Mart & Darkness

a vision from my camera....my jeans and red shoes...sitting across from the "diabetic treat" aisle...in the Wal-Mart pharmacy...

I read something the other day that was beautiful...
it said how, we might not love the darkness of the night, but we do love the twinkly light of the stars.....
and we may not love the harsh, cold of the winter, but we do love seeing the sparkly snow...
and how much more do we enjoy the warmth of spring and summer, after a freezing winter....

For all the hard things we go through in life...it really makes us appreciate things in a whole new way.
No matter what we are going through, what lies people are spreading about us, what mean things people are saying, how a person or a situation is hurting us, know that in these dark moments...God created light....he gives us the moon and the stars......when the sun goes away...
there is always light for us to be comforted by...
If anything, recently I've learned that people who don't know the truth, and don't even know how to find the truth...are the quickest ones to say something mean. People spew out cruel and evil words because they are probably filled with anger, hurt, and their hearts don't know how be free from judgement and unkindness.
It's sad that few people really know what it is like to spread love...that this world is filled with sad individuals that would waste all their precious time spreading slander and cruelty and hatred...and what's worse, is they don't even think anything is wrong with what they are doing....
⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres....if only the world could live by this...what a world it could be....maybe today we can practice a little more "real lovin'".......
typed with love, your kandee

A big bio...

Last night...
fever & then chills...
lots of pain...
right now, when I try to stand up..it feels like my head is going to explode...so i type this lying down...with my head propped up and my laptop on my stomach!

since none if this is very fun or exciting news...my overwhelmed little head...decided I would just post this Bio video I just watched for the first time...
it's from bigisgood.tv, they gave me a channel on their show roster...I met the creator of Big, on a treadmill, and we hit it off from the moment we met! (Hi Lauren!)....check out what they filmed...
I'm going to go try to rest some more...and maybe get all my muscles to walk me to the kitchen to make me something to eat...It sure reminds you how thankful we should be when we are well and healthy!

typed with love...from a very horizontal position......your kandee

Update....

today...
court....
crying...
urgent care...i have excruciating back pain...possible kidney stones...they are checking...have been in a lot of pain...they get to send my pee away to check and see if it's something bigger like a tumor...

I was sad today...and i think God must think I'm pretty tough...because he won't give us more than we can handle....so I feel honored He thinks I can handle all this...

Remember, the most beautiful flowers grow out of manure (poop)...ha ha ha ha!

I gotta go, I'm burning up and my back is killing me....

typed very slowly...ha ha ha...huge love and pain free backs.....your kandee
