Bleached Eyebrows

It's easy to forget that eyebrows have trend cycles of their own. Eyebrow trends move much more slowly than other beauty, hair and fashion trends. The natural, full and maintained style of eyebrows have been on-trend for quite some time. The current, fashionable shape certainly hasn't referred back to pencil thin eyebrows, and that's not about to change! A natural style and shape remains the style in which women want to have. What is changing is the color. Looking more closely,we will see that the bleached eyebrows are presently a beauty trend. Stylists are strongly advising that no one should go to the extreme of shaving them off and having no eyebrows at all. Bleached blond eyebrows are now amongst the growing list of 2010 fashion trends.

Hot Pants and Boy Shorts

It is said that if there was a time to hit the gym, it's this Spring. Hemlines have crept up to shorter than short. Hot pants and boy shorts are variations on this shorter-than-short style, which in many cases reveal more than just one's legs. Many recent fashion trends have pointed to it, and given popularity of the likes of lingerie. Hemlines can be predominately measured in negative figures. Once upon a time hot pants were considered more suited to a gymnasium than the streets. In late 2007, the "leotard" came back into fashion. While it didn't speak on the streets until 2009, and was often worn under skirts, shorts or long furs, its popularity guaranteed that hot pants would eventually be worn in the future.

History of Ice Skates



The first ice skates are Dated back to about 3000 B.C. witch were founded in the bottom of a lake in Switzerland. The skates were made from the leg bones of large animals. Holes were then made at each end and leather straps were used to tie them on. In the fourteenth century the Dutch started using wooden platforms with flat iron bottom runners. Poles were use to propel them around. In the 1500 hundreds the dutch invented a narrow double edge blade making poles useless. The double edge makes it so one could push and glide with his feet. In 1884 the first all steel clamps were founded in Philadelphia, PA. The toe pick was invented in the 1870's for figure skating. In 1914 the first closed toed blade made from steel was invented. This made skates lighter and stronger.




history of the baseball bat



In the mid eighteen hundreds the baseball bat was new and went through a lot of different experimentation with the shape and the size. The first baseball bats were flat like a cricket bat. In the next five years they founded that bats were best when rounded. most of the bats were made by local wood shops. With all the changes going one their had to be a rule. The rule was that the diameter of the bat couldn't be any wider than 2 1/2 diameters, though the length didn't matter. After ten years the length of the bat couldn't be longer than 42 inches. In 1884 the Louisville slugger was born. Their were many changes in the early nineteen hundreds with added a half inch on the diameter and better construction. Not until 1997 the maple bat made its way to the MLB. Players still use ash and oak bats but many are switching to maple bats.




Designer Label Shoes

In the 1900's large name shoe designers like Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo and Italian brands by Prada, Gucci and others became more of an important asset to an outfit as fashion itself became cleaner and more minimal and pared down. Prada shoes began almost 100 years ago. In addition to shoes, luggage and handbags were later designed. Mario Prada started his own line in 1913 basing his designs on practical leather pieces centered around comfort.

During the early 90's, many foreign national footwear chain shops were forced to close because of poor trading conditions in the market. The shoe trading market regained itself by the end of the decade, which in turn, allowed mass made footwear companies have guaranteed superior quality up until about 30 years ago. Including all of the fashion changes in designer's styles like Birkenstock and Clarks, England began to encounter large sales amounts resulting from the comfort factor in their everyday footwear.

Stockings, Leggings and Bare Legs

In the late 1980's and early 90's, stockings that had lace tops which held itself up was suddenly noticed to be more erotic than wearing just a pair of tights. Leggings were also common in the early 90's and continued to be worn in the privacy of their homes well past their sell by date. By the early 1990's, the only tights that were worn with the short skirt of the time were black and opaque. By the late 90's, the bare nude look and natural toned tights were acceptable again.
Many younger women eventually abandoned tights altogether. They preferred to show their completely natural legs. At the same time many variations of tights came into the clothing shops. These ranged from soft and sheer to shiny, support or bare effects. From the public's prospective, wearing tights still remains correct for business wear and it's best to avoid bare legs for any occasion unless the legs are silky smooth!

Before tumble driers...

Pencil skirts were worn with sweaters or even back to front cardigans that had been pressed super flat. Before the days of tumble driers, many women would lay their washed, rung out knitwear in paper tissue and then wrap it with brown paper. They put it to dry under a carpet for two days. When it was removed from the tissue, the footsteps that had pounded over the knit, gave it a flat dry cleaned look with a new appearance. Laundering of delicates could still be a problem, but everything changed when the mass produced synthetic garmets arrived...


Mid 1900's Mini Skirts

Hubert Givenchy designed a Paris collection dress in 1957 called the sack. It started the trend for a straighter waist with less of a shift in the dress. First it developed into the fitted darted sheath dress and later into the loose, straight, short shift dress. By 1958 the style really began to catch on. The design was picked by Mary Quant who motified it to her own personal taste. Various refinements on this early sack dress picked up by Courreges, led Mary Quant to go one step further and design the mini shift dress that was to dominate the 1960's decade. the fore runner of the mini dress. The shapes that Mary Quant designed were simple, neat, clean cut and young. They were also mostly made from adventurous material that not many designers would traditionally use. The fashion trend took off so well because it was so different and to wear it you had to be youthful to get away with an outfit that was so controversial among adults in particular.
