February is MOD MONTH!!!


Hello all!

I'd like to start by saying welcome to Jane (DearLadyJane), our latest writer and "Mod expert"

And yes, Maureen's current Mod obsession has paid off for her. In Mo's honor, February is "Mod Month." You may ask yourself, "What is Mod?"

MOD:
member of 1960s U.K. youth culture: in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, a member of a youth group known for their fashionable dress, motor scooters, and fights with motorcycle gangs rockers.
In short, many colors, minidresses/skirts, well, if anything just look at Maureens' past posts (And Patty's Pattie Boyd post. Kathryn's Maureen Starkey post is good, too.)

Here's Stella with a typical Mod look:
VERY DRAMATIC MAKEUP!!!!!!
-Long, fake lashes on the bottom and top
-lots of mascara, eyeliner (stella has none)
-Pale lips, practically invisible!
-Neat haircut with fringes/bangs (could be long or short)

Here're the Mod items in my closet:
White go-go boots, the silly red frock, the geometric dress, the flat-chested peacoat, the miniskirt... it's all Mod. The red shoes are similar to a Mary Quant design. Look her up, she's a good person to turn to for "Mod"
Nice, huh?

Remember, just be prepared. The Mod Month issue of Edge Magazine will be a large one (I will be SS again) but unfortunately the upcoming one won't be because this is my last SS day. But hey, that gives me a good opportunity to go hunting for Non-SS Mod looks!!


What do YOU think?

PS I apologize, this month was sort of slow. But we're getting moving again, and Mod Month is the first major Edge event of 2011! :)

PPS, do you think Maureen looks like Stevie Nicks with this haircut? (she seems to think she does)
