A Backlit Photo in Full Sun
Perhaps there are many ways to do this; I just know one. So I will share with you my best kept secret. You won't tell anyone, right? And please, don't hate me for using my Katie again. She's all I've got. But I'm getting ready to give you a great tip—one that you can really use—so we'll be even, okay?
Here's what I know.
To take a picture in full sun, you must:
First, put your camera on Spot Metering. This way your camera will read the light from your subject's face. (To learn how to put your camera on Spot Metering, break out you camera's manual!)
Now, position your subject so that there is no sun hitting his/her face. You do not want white blotches. So walk around a bit, and have your model turn her head until you find the right spot.
But also, while you are doing this, you need to make sure that your subject has light behind him/her, and that YOU have light behind you. (In other words, make sure you're not standing under a tree or with your back against a building or anything that would block light.)
The other night when I first went outside to take a few shots, I forgot this part of the rule. I was standing under a tree, so there was no light bouncing back onto Katie's face.
So you see, she does not have enough light on her face despite the fact that I did all the other things correctly. This picture is too dark for me to want to edit it.
Exposure: 0.01 sec (1/100)
Aperture: f/4
Focal Length: 20 mm
ISO Speed: 100
So we repositioned ourselves on the other side of the tree, where I had lots of light behind me. So did Katie.
Exposure: 0.01 sec (1/100)
Aperture: f/4
Focal Length: 55 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Look at that. The exposure and the aperture are exactly the same. But this one is lighter. The only difference is that I have the light at my back on this one.
Cool huh? This picture looks nice with a little editing because of the light.
In this next one, you can see my shutter is 1/50. Just a little more light entered the camera. And this one is more to my liking.
Exposure: 0.02 sec (1/50)
Aperture: f/4
Focal Length: 28 mm
ISO Speed: 100
For the final picture I sharpened, lightened, ran soft light, and cropped.
I cropped it so that Katie wasn't smack dab in the middle of the picture. I set her eyes along an imaginary line as I tried to follow the 'rule of thirds.'
But you'll have to wait until next time, when we can discuss that artistic rule.
Now, go out in that wonderful summer sun and give this a try! Unless you're in Australia. Then you'll have to settle for winter sun.
Encourage one another,
Miz Booshay

Awesome…which lens are you using?

farmnwife On Tuesday, July 15 at 7:58 am
Thank you Donna. I have always had trouble with full sun shots. I usually don't get up early enough for the best light at dawn. And Katie is a fine subject.
Anna On Tuesday, July 15 at 7:58 am
I love her eyes and freckles! Great pictures, as always!
Barb On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:02 am
Thanks for the helpful hints. Darling girl! Love the freckles.

Julie On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:06 am
Thank you! I've been seeing many beautiful pictures with backlight and I didn't know how to do it! I keep many of your tips in mind and thank you for it!!!
Joy On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:06 am
What a beautiful girl! Great shots
Ronda On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:08 am
So that's where I went wrong! I tried this with my daughter the other night, and all I got was a mess. I was sitting under a tree…no wonder! I'll work on it again. Thanks for the secret tip!
mia On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:09 am
I like the up and down photo best.. third from the bottom. Very nice. Pretty girl too!
The Mother Ship On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:14 am
Thanks so much! Always such a beautiful subject!!!
Elizabeth Thacker On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:15 am
Krissa On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:16 am
Oy! I wonder if my camera has spot metering – I'll have to look.
How do you get your child to hold still for photo shoots? She's gorgeous, but also looks quite a bit precocious.
Ariel On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:19 am
Looks great! Thanks for the tip!
carson On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:19 am
We share a common dilemma – limited subject matter. But I'm guessing your beautiful Katie is a much more cooperative model than my horses and burros. Your great tips for a backlit photo still apply though. Now if I can just get one of them to stand still in the right place long enough…
MrsMama On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:20 am
This is so helpful – thank you! I can't wait to try it.
Shanna On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:21 am
This is one I'll have to go try!! Thanks!
A Cowboy's Wife On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:21 am
I'm terrible with the whole thirds & rules and stuff. Scott Kelby says the best time of day is early before the sun rises and after the sun sets. I'm terrible with sun spots myself. She's a cutie.
Alicia On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:25 am
I like how you cropped it. The light just emanates from the photo and that is what photography is all about. The light really makes this photo more than anything, nice job.
Robin On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:26 am
And thanks for mentioning the simple processing steps you took to arrive at the final (beautiful) portrait.
You rock, Miz Boo!
chocolatechic On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:26 am
Crud….I don't want to break out my manual….sigh
Kayleigh On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:29 am
Backlight is great, but I must say I also like the light/shadow play in the first photo. It does give the photo depth. You could bring out her face a little more by using an layer mask on a curve balance that you invert and then dab the light back in at 25% – 35%, but I do like it a lot.
Jodie On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:34 am
ohhhh katie is sooooo precious. good job mom
Melynnda On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:35 am
Thanks again. Love the Freckles
Kat On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:36 am
Great tip! One question though… I thought aperture was relative to the focal length. As the first photo is taken with focal lenght 20mm and the second 55mm, f/4 is a larger aperture for the second photo – contributing to the lighter result. Or something like that. No? Quote Wikipedia: "The amount of light captured by a lens is proportional to the area of the aperture, equal to: Area = Pi * (f/2N)^2, where f is focal lenght and N is the f-number." So, same aperture, higher focal length gives larger area and more light. This confuses me, but it helped to explane it to myself here. Thank you.
Erik On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:39 am
That child takes my breath away every time I see a photo of her!
Great photos too, btw!
Heidi On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:40 am
Are you really talented – or is Katie just the cutest durn thing?!
CrossView On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:41 am
What a great tip! Simple enough that I can even (maybe) remember it.
Your "subject" is adorable!
Laura On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:52 am
I can't blame you for using the same subject over and over. She's adorable.
Light is my favorite thing to explore. Thanks for the tips!
laraine On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:54 am
I love seeing photos of katie – she is beautiful. One of the things I love about your photos is the different perspectives you take them from (standing higher than the subject etc..). Thats something I want to do more in my photography.
I love taking outdoor shots. I usually get my best photos in natural light.
Sheri in CA On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:56 am
Thanks for the tip. You always have something to share that I can use.
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:00 am
For this distance, the focal length didn't really make the difference. It really was the light behind me (and all around me)
I was using the Nikkor 17-55mm 2.8 lens.
marchelle On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:00 am
You have taught me something – yet again – with making sure there is light behind you as well!
I was studying my little heart out Friday night before a shoot with my first paying clients (!) on Saturday, and I came across the "rule of thirds." Very helpful with composition and I'm looking forward to what more you can show us!
annie On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:02 am
" But also, while you are doing this, you need to make sure that your subject has light behind him/her, and that YOU have light behind you;"
Maybe I'm just dense. But, how do you manage to get light behind both of you? What am I reading wrong?
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:04 am
Thank you for the sweet compliments about Katie.
All I can say is that she is a natural model…
and I am real quick.
I ask her if she will come and help me out,
and really, I only take about five minutes to get my shots.
I'm so lucky.
What Happens Next... On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:05 am
Great, great tip. Thanks.
And gorgeous girl! Wow.
ashpags On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:06 am
Miz Boo, you rock. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of my camera, you use a function I've never once used, nor do I know much about: metering! I even had to go get my manual to figure out what the different symbols mean. I love learning new things – thanks for helping me out in the process! =)
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:06 am
You can't be in the shade.
You can't have a wall or a building right behind you.
You need open indirect light, all around, both you and your subject.
You see the natural light in the atmosphere that is surrounding you, will reflect on your subjects face.
dlyn On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:08 am
I can't imagine we will ever get tired of photos of Katie Great technique to know!
Janelle On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:15 am
she is a beauty, great pics.
Kirstin On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:15 am
I love your tutorials. And someday I may get it all figured out (C:
Chris On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:17 am
Loving these tips… always wondered this one. I look forward to more tips on ap. and f-settings… using just a sony cybershot from 2002, but finding your tips valuable. Thanks for clarifying some of the mud!
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:24 am
I love when I make people go get their manuals :o)
annie On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:26 am
Miz, Thanks, now it makes sense!
Susan On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:28 am
"Don't hate me…." You're just joshing us all, right, MizB??? You know we all ADORE Katie pictures Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I so need to be more conscious of the light BEHIND me. Thank you for communicating this concept so clearly
CourtneyK On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:30 am
Awwwe, don't feel bad about using Katie over and over! She's adorable, photogenic, and natural in front of the camera. I find her to be a very interesting, versatile, and engaging subject. So keep on keepin' on with her! Plus, I know the feeling. Nearly all of my photos are of my husband. I just love using him for inspiration! Your Katie is a bit more cooperative, though! ; )
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:31 am
Ree had to help me communicate it, this time.
She did some fine editorial work on this post :o)
Thanks tho :o)
kori On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:32 am
A good tip indeed. I'll have to break out my camera manual again. Any good ideas for not over exposing the sky while not under exposing the subject?
Margaret On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:39 am
Thanks for the tips, I can't wait to try this!
Tabitha On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:39 am
Thanks for the tip. I've been practicing with light more and since I have no idea what I'm doing everything I have done I've learned from here. You and Ree have become my teachers. Now I just need to find my manual so I can see what else I can do.
Chris On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:40 am
Oh, I also meant to ask..
Have you ever tried HDR? I've used this technique a few times and came up with some really interesting results. Didn't know if you had given it a whirl.
Weather Moose
Kathleen On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:45 am
Really great shots! I need a model who will pose for me so I can practice! Most of my peeps are pretty camera-shy.
Shannon On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:54 am
That is SO helpful! I've been trying to figure out "tricks like this on my own and it isn't very easy.
Oh, and trust me, no one could possibly be sick of pictures of Katie!
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:56 am
That is a good idea for a post.
I'm not sure I have the answer, but perhaps Ree knows…or I can figure it out.
I get right on that ;o)
Abbie On Tuesday, July 15 at 9:56 am
Beautiful work as always! She is seriously one of the most stunning little girls I have ever seen!
Jessica On Tuesday, July 15 at 10:07 am
Ok, I'm the densest of the dense and lighting is something I struggle with (obviously since I just don't get this). Maybe if you can explain to me what the indirect light was, my pea-size brain might be able to grasp this. I don't understand how there is sun behind both of you, since you are facing each other.
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 10:16 am
The sun is not behind me. But there is light all around me.
The sun is behind Katie. And I am standing in a well lit area. The sun is shining on me and it is hitting the ground behind me and on my sides and all around me.
I am not in the shade. I am in the light.
Tania On Tuesday, July 15 at 10:24 am
Great Tips as always. Thank you
And our Aussie Winter Sun is just perfect too! (we were swimming at the beach last week and it's mid winter)
Lorraine M. On Tuesday, July 15 at 10:30 am
Thanks for the tips! I can't wait to go home and give this a try!
Kayleigh On Tuesday, July 15 at 10:41 am
For those of you not understand the backlight.
Maybe it's easier to state that that when shooting portraits you always make sure the brightest light is behind you, the photographer.
However, because you don't want to overexpose your model, or have them squint from looking into direct sunlight, you have to position them (and yourself) in a way that your model is not affected.
Simple tip for that is to keep the sun behind your left or right shoulder, that way you get roughly the same amount of light all over the photo and reduce any contrast problems.
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 11:06 am
That is not what I mean by backlit.
For me, the sun is directly on my subjects back.
Not on my back.
The sun is shining at me in my face.
Shelly On Tuesday, July 15 at 11:10 am
Thank you for your tips and we love seeing your beautiful Katie!
Christina On Tuesday, July 15 at 11:17 am
Diggin the details. My advice…NEVER be afraid to over expose the background! It is what makes your work you…expose for your subject…and make sure there is light in the eyes…even dark eyes. With out it the photos die. Nice work Miz Booshay!
BOSSY On Tuesday, July 15 at 11:18 am
So if you're saying the light is behind her, and the light is also behind you, does that mean she is side-lit (as her hair suggests?) Or do you live in a two sun universe?
TamiD On Tuesday, July 15 at 11:24 am
What a beautiful child!
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 11:27 am
Are you pulling my leg?
The sun is more on her back than on her side.
It's just shining thru her blowing hair.
This method works with side-lit photos, too :o)
The sun really is getting ready to set behind her.
Kayleigh On Tuesday, July 15 at 11:42 am
Miss Booshay,
Odd, in the photo the light seems to come from over her right shoulder (or left depending on where you stand) rather than directly from her back, judging by the light on the right side of her hair and face and the deeper shade on the left side of her face.
It's strange, because if the sun would be directly on her back, than you would be facing the direct sunlight and would be photographing into it which would make her face very dark.
The only work around is to use a light bouncer, but if you're out in the open as you stated, you don't have a light bouncer anywhere near you. So if she has the light directly behind her, how come her face is lit? Flashlight?
I honestly don't get it.
Chris On Tuesday, July 15 at 11:51 am
One reason is the reflection of light off the photographer.
Secondly, if there is enough ambient light in the general vicinity, and the subject is NOT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE LIGHT SOURCE, you will get enough lighting.
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 11:58 am
The sun is hitting Katie's back and a bit on her side.
There is enough light on her face because I have spot metered and because the light (the ambient light) in front of her is bouncing on to her face.
As you see in the first picture, I was standing in the shade and there was no light bouncing on her face…and it is too dark.
Kayleigh On Tuesday, July 15 at 11:59 am
The more I look at this photo, the more I think the sun wasn't at full force and was situated much lower in the sky than it would during the middle of the day. That would have been way too much contrast to get an effect like this.
I think there also has to be a significant difference in height between photographer and model, the photographer standing up and the model sitting or kneeling down.
The light bouncing off the photographer itself does not give enough exposure to entirely light up a model's face when the photographer is shooting straight into the sunlight.
Chris On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:11 pm
You're right, it's not at full strength, per se. Aperture settings, shutter speeds, etc. all come into play here, not to mention the position of the photographer and subject.
The spot metering is key. It allows the camera to kind of hone in on the center of the viewfinder (say roughly 10% of the area you actually see) so that it can be properly exposed.
I'll try this tonight when I get home (hopefully my dog will cooperate) to see if I can recreate what's been shown. I'll turn off spot metering for comparison. I was planning on posting something about HDR on my blog, so I can append this to it.

lidia On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:13 pm
Your daughter is absolutely gorgeous!
Kayleigh On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:19 pm
I haven't seen the sun all day (:) and evening has set in so I can't try it myself, but I think it's a bit more complex than you would think when you read Miss Booshay's explanation.
Simply said, ordinary backlight during a sunny afternoon with a model at your own level wouldn't work like this in an average setting. There's a lot more at play in order for the photo to work.
Even with spot metering (which is 1 or 2%, partial metering is 10%), shooting a very high contrast photo would have the background completely blown out in order to get the face exposed like this.
I've been messing with HDR myself a bit lately, it's really fun!
Chris On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:25 pm
Evening has set in??? Goodness, where in the world are you?
Kayleigh On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:27 pm
p.s Chris, if you look at the direction of the shades on the floor (left side of the photo), they don't go in an upright line. If the sun would be directly behind the subject, could those shades be oblique?
Kayleigh On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:29 pm
I'm in the Netherlands
Chris On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:34 pm
I get what you're saying as far as where the sun is relative to the position of the subject (level of shot included). I'm more or less trying to grasp and understand the layout of the shot itself. She's definitely not shooting into the sun.
The Netherlands. Holy mackerel. I guess it is evening for you, then!
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:35 pm
In comment #65, I said that the sun was getting ready to set. Hope that helps.
Kayleigh On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:39 pm
Ahhh hadn't read that, but judging by the long shadows I figured it was later in the day! Just read you mentioned her side was lit as well, so I think that explains how the photo was taken. Merely backlight would have never created a photo like this.
It would be fun to see all those people trying in broad daylight and murmuring they don't get it, how come their kids face is all darkened out when Miss Booshay got a perfect shot in the sunlight ::snirk::
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:39 pm
I really am facing the sun.
Kayleigh On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:45 pm
I think I'm getting it. If you read what Miss Booshay writes, you would think she's actually using backlight and is facing the sun, but she's really not. She;'s merely standing in the sun.
The light is coming in from the side a little as well. The sun is setting, so is very low in the sky and is more or less level with Katie. Miss Booshay appears to be standing over Katie shooting down. So she's actually shooting away from the sun (downward) rather than shooting into the sun.
So I think the word 'backlight' is what threw us for a loop, because backlight in regular portrait photography is something entirely different than what you see here.
Chris On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:58 pm
Yep! That's what I was meaning when I said she wasn't "shooting into" the sun. That is to say, the sun is point down the barrel of her lens(gun) so to speak. Whatever it is, the shot is impressive and the explanation on HOW TO DO IT is extremely helpful.
Kayleigh On Tuesday, July 15 at 1:03 pm
I think so, too, … otherwise you have people trying to make a photo like that and never getting this result.
But sorry, Miss Booshay, it's a gorgoeus shot but not a backlight photo
Gloria On Tuesday, July 15 at 1:07 pm
Everything sounded so easy until I started reading comments from people "in the know" – lol! Then I got totally confused (not hard to do), but I'm still going to try this out later in the day. Thanks for the tip. And beautiful photo again, but it helps to have such a great subject:)
Jen On Tuesday, July 15 at 1:11 pm
i can do this! i always love your tips!!!
Tamara On Tuesday, July 15 at 1:18 pm
Thanks a bunch for the sun help! Can't wait to read about the thirds-rule…have never heard of it. I am your typical point & shooter and was perfectly happy with that until I came across this website.
Don't apologize for using such an adorable model. You take wonderful pictures and the variety and prettiness is enough to balance out the repetitive use of subject.
melissa On Tuesday, July 15 at 1:22 pm
Great tip, thanks!
Utah Jen On Tuesday, July 15 at 1:34 pm
Katie is so beautiful! Thanks for the valuable tips!
Becky On Tuesday, July 15 at 1:35 pm
Ah, I'm excited to learn more about this "rule of thirds." I've seen it mentioned on other sites.
taisia On Tuesday, July 15 at 2:05 pm
Gloria (#83) listen to Miz Boo – she's the one "in the know". This IS a backlit photo. She is showing one way to make a photo with backlight work. The main light source is not hitting the subject on the face. It's behind her (and maybe slightly to her side but whatever), hence the term "backlit". It doesn't matter if the photographer is high, low, off to one side, standing on her head…it's still a backlit photo. It also doesn't matter if the photographer is shooting at high noon or at sunset or if the sun is shining directly down the barrel of the lens. The point is that the main light source is behind the subject (not in the front as is the general rule for portraits) and in many cases this results in an underexposed picture. Miz Boo knows what she's talking about and described a great way to control your exposure and your position to create a pleasing backlit photo.
Miz Boo – I love how her hair glows. This is a beautiful backlit photo. Your tip of where to position yourself (not in the shade) is key for me. I forget to do this sometimes. Thanks so much for explaining this.
e On Tuesday, July 15 at 2:15 pm
Katie is an absolute doll. Love those freckles.
This is such a great post. I can't wait to try this out. I usually have lots of trouble with taking pics in full sunlight.
In case you're taking requests for post topic ideas I could use some info on how to crop and/or resize pictures for developing. Since digital size pics are 4×5.3 instead of 4×6 I'm often disappointed by the finished result because I cropped it for a finished size of 4×6 and then too much ends up getting cropped out. I just don't know how to crop digital pics for developing and would love some help with it.
Laura On Tuesday, July 15 at 2:25 pm
Oh Miz Boo…you are such a fabulous teacher! Thank you for taking the time to teach us here. You and Ree are an encouragement and an inspiration to someone like me who wants to learn photography!!!
You did a wonderful job explaining this…the others who are disagreeing ended up making it more confusing.
So could I try this when taking a photo of my kids jumping on their trampoline? I am very new to photography, but am trying hard to learn. Everytime I go to take photos of them jumping, I either get the bright blue sky behind them and them dark…or them bright and the background blownout. Would spot metering be the trick?
carol browne On Tuesday, July 15 at 3:00 pm
Thanks Mz. Booshay. I'll give it a try today. Due to a power outage in my city, my office has been shut down for the day. Yay! More time for photos! I'll get out the manual now.
CourtneyK On Tuesday, July 15 at 3:20 pm
I'm amazed if the Rule of Thirds hasn't been mentioned here yet. Really? I've only read one photography book and that's the biggest thing I took away. It has exponentially increased the appeal of my photographs. And it doesn't matter if you have a fancy SLR or a simple digicam (like me) because it's all about composition! That will be a great post on here. It's so simple, but can make a great difference. As long as it's not ALWAYS used, of course. Sometimes it's more fun to break the rules!
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, July 15 at 3:25 pm
I stand by this post :o)
I call it back-lit as I believe the light is hitting Katie's back.
Simple as that.
I learned this method from a famous photographer at a workshop and I like it and thought I would pass it on.
I hope it helps!
Nicole On Tuesday, July 15 at 3:30 pm
I have stumbled upon your website…can't remember exactly how…but here I am. But you have so inspired me that I wanted to leave a comment.
I love all your pics! You have driven me to get out of my shell and take more pics of my day to day life. Thanks for the inspiration and sense of humor. A photographer who doesn't take herself too seriously and is willing to share all her know how with all of us…I love it!
Jessica On Tuesday, July 15 at 3:52 pm
Ok, I think I get it now. I've never tried the spot-metering. I just set the exposure so it looks like it would be completely overexposed and the preview looks good for the face. Is the spot-metering doing the same thing, just faster and better? I'll have to try it out. And nice tip on the photographer being in the shade. One final question, could you take this exact picture at high noon, since the sun isn't low on the horizon? Ok, and maybe one more question: Can you do a post on how to find good lighting? Thanks for all your information. I really do appreciate it!
Captain Momma On Tuesday, July 15 at 3:58 pm
Great photo with the light! I could never tire of your Katie, she's such a beauty and highlights the pictures with her beautiful freckles and red hair. My husband has tons of freckles too and I love them. The boy and me have about 7 and you can count them all!!!
Great tips, thanks.
Colleen On Tuesday, July 15 at 4:00 pm
I've been wondering how you get such wonderfully exposed, back-lit photos. Thanks so much for the tip. I pulled out my manual and now I know how to spot meter!
Dot O On Tuesday, July 15 at 4:25 pm
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I had my first dSLR how-to class last night and he gave us homework. I read your post this AM and incorporated it into what I needed to do for part 1 of 3 today – the outdoor portrait. Next is dramatic lighting and the last is a car driving by and showing motion in my photo.
Thanks again.
Dot O On Tuesday, July 15 at 4:34 pm
P.S. Your daughter is beautiful!!! She makes the best (and probably the most cooperative) subject matter for you.

On Saturday, Chris Christie won a straw poll at the Virginia Tea Party convention. No, it doesn't mean he's the front-runner in the GOP presidential primary or even that he is running. But it does remind us of two key considerations in assessing the GOP contest.
First, I am confident that a large number of those Tea Partiers got familiar with Christie from a series of YouTube videos that went viral. Christie cheerily taking on the press. Christie gallantly defending Meg Whitman. Christie bashing public-employee unions. Every week you look for the next in the "series." It tells us that candidates can be made — or encouraged to run, at least — by select moments that encapsulate that candidate's persona and beliefs. If the Howard Dean scream video in 2004 helped do him in, what's to say that Christie or some other candidate can't jump to the top of the GOP contenders' list based on a few YouTube videos?
You say that this is a wacky way to select presidents? Well, my first response is yes. And my second is that candidates will still have to prove themselves over the course of a long campaign, but that is why name recognition and a big war chest mean so little at the beginning of a race. YouTube is the great political equalizer.
Moreover, this is yet another reminder that the GOP field is not set. Christie says he's not interested in a presidential run, but a few more viral videos and straw polls and there will be a "Draft Christie" group. Others may make similar headway and restore or elevate their profile. Rep. Paul Ryan made a splash when most Americans saw him for the first time facing off against the president at the health-care summit. Some more episodes like that and he'll have his own following, and maybe he'll reconsider his decision not to make a run in 2012.
The 2012 campaign will be wild and woolly. And we're going to learn much about candidates we currently know practically nothing about — and they'll discover just how ambitious they actually are. Prognosticators should be wary: there's no crystal ball for this race.

Importance of Being Earnest (Manchester)
Editorial Staff • West End • 29 Jun 2004
This Royal Exchange production follows the original text closely without trying to modernise it or add any flashy gimmicks to seduce a young audience. John Worthing (Ian Shaw) adopts a new name and therefore a new persona in order to woo Gwendolyn Fairfax (Anna Hewson), a lady of some importance. She is the daughter of 'the' Lady Bracknell (Gabrielle Drake).
Meanwhile, Algernon Moncrieff (Jamie De Courcey) poses as John's fictional brother, Earnest, which wins over the quirky but modern Cecily Cardew (Laura Rees). Add to this scenario shy Miss Prism (Joanna David) and her repressed feelings for Reverend Chausuble (John Watts) and you are left with a delightful play which raises many a smile during its three fast paced acts.
Wilde's wonderful writing has the audience on the edge of their seats waiting for each gem of a line to be uttered. Thankfully the excellent cast do not merely deliver lazily as they could so easily have done. Each actor brings something original to the stage by refusing to overact during the farcical scenes.
Drake does seem too young to really excel as the infamous Lady Bracknell. But she does relish the part playing it prim and proper with the right amount of snobbery. Shaw brings a sense of bewilderment to the role which suits his displaced character. Rees' Cecily is worldly but naive when it comes to the opposite sex. Hewson is marvellous, very much like a mini Lady Bracknell in waiting while David excels as Miss Prism - the shy but secretive governess who holds the key to many of the play's revelations.
Braham Murray directs at a breakneck pace which equals non-stop laughter for the audience and compliments Wilde's style of writing. Jason Taylor's clever lighting adds depth to Johanna Bryant's understated set design.
This is an excellent production which delighted the audience on the night I attended and not just because they were wild about the original play. So many classic texts are staged pedestrian retreads or full of 'new' hidden meanings. This version of Earnest is simply sublime because it respects the audience too much to tweak the material or simply push all the right buttons.

Now that labor represents a paltry 7% of the workforce, what could possibly be missing here?
Didn't we motivate all this innovation with tax cuts about a decade ago??
Exactly where has all this wealth ended up anyways??
Maybe we should just abolish city hall and farm out all the services to private contractors. Everybody will get tax rebates in the form of vouchers to pay for the services and then, when the going gets rough we can all go shopping. Or just complain!

Not really. SSA is destined to run out of money when it runs out of contributors. Don't kid yourself either, there are tons of people opting for early retirement because of the terrible "private sector" job market so all and all, it is doing what is was designed to do, provide a safety net against failures of the free market. SSA has never DEFAULTED either so even a Madoff client, an Enron employee, stakeholders in Ampad, Lehman Bros, etc (...) benefit. Nothing wrong with SSA other than it being a hugely funded social safety net in a decidedly rigged free market economic system writhing to get its tentacles around those assets.
Fascinating! The government can send us to war whether we like it or not, but when it mandates our own health and welfare we should resist? Sounds like some seriously flawed logic. You can see where it would take a lot of power and money to get a message like that across.
There is absolutely no validity whatsoever, to any thing you are screaming about.
Big government is the result of even bigger free market failure. It's historical. It's happening again. It's happening all over the world. It's happening right in front of your eyes...again!
As said by a pensioned, Socially Secured, Medicare recipient who raised a family in a non bank owned home all the while putting two kids through college and was still able to drive around in a brand new Ford pickup every three years and STILL vacation abroad annually, on a living wage. Darn foreigners!
Power to the people. Except when it comes to asking for a raise!
Some more shameless self promotion. Let's shoot the messenger whilst we are at it. Everybody's a critic, even the complainers. Isn't that a form of indigence? And then a light bulb goes off...Indignicans! Of which happens when you cross the right with teeny tinee violins.........................
Any business plan that generates waste should have a contingency for that waste. If that plan becomes altered in any way, it would be up to that business to address it. Can't keep a cake and eat it too!
Dumpsters would be far more aesthetically pleasing than over flowing trash cans and split open garbage bags. What is a "protector of government" anyways? Is that like the military? We're talking corned beef on rye here, not peanut butter and jelly!
Never! Will private enterprise provide services cheaper than a municipality. Never going to happen! Never has! Never will! No matter how envious people are of sewer work and garbage collecting.
But that would only work in the public sector, right?
You people sound envious of sewer workers?? Oh my!
You people actually think that garbage collectors get paid too much?? Oh my!

rnrnIn order to achieve (not to mention maintain!) "larger than life" status in the entertainment world, today's image-conscious stars go to extreme length to ensure that all facets of both their careers and their personal lives are outsized. Kanye West is, at this moment, perhaps the best embodiment of this desire: From his concert tours to his clothing collection to, yes, his girlfriends, nothing Kanye does is understated. After parting ways with bald beauty Amber Rose, Bossip is reporting that his new ladyfriend is none other than British pin-up girl and hip-hop video girl, Shay the UK Bombshell. While Rose was perhaps best known for her, um, healthy booty, his new arm candy is best known for her soon-to-be infamous 30 JJ bra size. Oh, and did we mention that Shay the UK Bombshell is on Twitter, too?rnrnAs a means of helping you get to know Kanye's latest flame, we here at The FABLife have put together this gallery of pictures that Shay has posted to her Twitpic account of late. Enjoy!rnrn

Natural Color

From Our Customers:
I just wanted to tell you that I love your liquid food coloring! I ordered it a week ago and just had the chance to use it for the first time tonight. The colors are beautiful and I am super happy with your product. Having a son that is allergic to food dyes it is hard to make birthday cakes and treats "fun" colors for him. We have used fruit to color everything in the past, which means that for the past four years he has had a purple birthday cake! This year he will finally get a green one - something he has been asking for for years. Thank you! Emily Nelson
"I love these natural colors. They work great and don't affect the taste. Thank you for your great service and natural product." Lynn Collins

When it was brought to my attention that a preview of History Channel's: Great Battles of Rome was available for review, I just had to get it. I had seen the documentary that History Channel televised awhile ago. They made reference that the battle scenes were computerized, which intrigued me. I had wondered if this was some sophisticated computer program or if it would be a PC version that others could play.
Once I installed the game, I quickly got into the tutorial, which is very easy to follow. The instructions are step-by-step progression from easy scenarios to more difficult ones. The tutorial has you playing the barbarian side; the Roman side begins the campaign. One of the things that stands out is you have an real-time-strategy-type game but with a blending of a role-playing game that involves your general and his troops.
The campaign starts simple and easy, but with each win, the next scenario gets a bit more difficult. The game autosaves and remembers where you left off after each win or will replay the previous one if you lose. If you decide to start a new campaign, be forewarned that the previous campaign will be removed unless you manually save your old campaign. You can have up to a maximum of 20 different units in play, depending on the scenario played, making for a massive battle ground that you must strategically direct.
What types of units can you recruit for your personal army? We have skirmishers and light and heavy infantry. Archers, light and heavy cavalry — including elephants — and your general. Each of these has variations and requires you to decide what to purchase and what to disband as you progress. Remember that these units can receive promotions that increase their fighting abilities as they progress in levels. Your decisions can affect that next battle.
There are at least 100-plus key battles combined into 14 Roman campaigns that involve 700 years of history. The narrative video completes and complements the game, with background cutscenes giving you historic references to each scenario. Each scenario is fought on diverse landscape, including night battles. This lets you create defending positions or spring surprises with the formations under your control.
Lets delve into some of the game options, shall we? When you start, the formations in your army are militia and skirmishers, with light cavalry. The militia is your basic light infantry, with the skirmishers being a form of archer but using spears. The light cavalry speaks for itself. You can purchase additional units only when you have enough gold. Gold is awarded after you win a scenario. Another award is fame. Fame is used to replenish the losses inflicted on your formations. This can be done individually or can be used to repair every unit, but you must be aware that fame is deducted from the total earned. As you progress through certain scenarios and win, additional types and variations of units can be purchased, but increasingly with additional cost. Can you afford that heavy infantry unit, or would you be better off with a couple of light units instead? You can disband older units for newer ones, but you must weigh that against the veteran status the old unit had versus the new unit purchased.
Each unit, including the general, has a role-playing aspect to it. A new unit starts out at level 1. As the battles progress, they earn experience, which is dependent on how involved they were in the battle. If they lost morale and routed, experience will be minimal. That's right — units can lose morale and run from a fight if losses are heavy enough. Let's get back to the leveling. As you earn enough points, the next level will be awarded as a promotion, which gives you the chance to train those units.
Say you want to improve the morale of your unit so it won't break in battle early; picking junior noncommissioned officers will increase that morale. You are given a list of skills that range from basic training to more advanced, such as blocking to advanced blocking or dodging to advanced dodging. These stay with your unit throughout all battles they are involved in. This includes your general, who also can be awarded points based on his involvement. As of this writing, my general is level 12 and has considerable training under his sword. That's why it's important to remember when disbanding older units that your newer ones will be vulnerable until they can level and train to hold their own in future battles.
One thing I truly liked was the initial setup. You click and drag each unit to a starting position so they are facing off against an opponent. This means you can set cavalry against lightly armed skirmishers, maybe hide your heavy infantry in the woods to pounce out and catch the opponent in the flank, or position archers behind so they can be protected by infantry while inflicting punishing attacks to the ranks of your approaching enemies.
Another thing which is fun and has strategic value is the camera view. You can zoom in and watch up close the fighting or zoom out to see your entire army at a glance. The camera also can rotate, giving you a dramatic view. The screen is broken down into the main arena with a mini-map that is clickable, so you can zip to any part of the battle. Commands are given before the battle starts and can be given during the battle, in case one unit needs to help another in trouble.
As with anything, there are a few items that can frustrate the armchair general. One is that the pathing of the units is a bit off, depending on the commands you set up. Units will attack the nearest opponent if they come too close, even though you may have wanted to attack another unit instead. Commands are affected by the general's command and control bar. This reflects the delay between issuing a command and the unit actually committing itself to that command. It's pure frustration when in the thick of battle, and you need to move units around fast.
Another problem is controlling said units as you must right-click on the unit to gain control of it. When you have controlled chaos, it's hard to pick the right unit out of the melee. Units have a tendency to stop and stand still after a fight; you then have to direct them to say, the other side of the field of battle that still is waging. Sometimes the scenario isn't quite clear on the objectives needed to win the battle. Some commands, such as rally, don't seem to have much affect on a routing unit if it's within the general's field of control, which is a ring centered on the general.
The game requires a hefty computer to handle all the action. If you can meet the requirements, you'll have a visually pleasing game — one which you'll have a problem putting away. I played scenario after scenario and forgot to watch my time, resulting in a late night rush to bed. I'm not much of a RTS person, as I always seem to get my posterior whipped, but this was one game preview I really enjoyed playing.
My knowledge of the industry mostly evolves around beta testing games, such as Earth & Beyond from EA, Saga of Ryzom, and companies like MSN and Acolade. Self taught web design is another interest I have. Family life is entertaining at times. It also can get weird as well, after you have been married 31 years.

Today we read Playboy for the articles. Or, one really, really long article. The mag's interview with Tom Cruise stretches for five pages online and covers everything from his childhood motorcycle stunts to whether he's had or would ever get plastic surgery (nope) to the time he sang "Pour Some Sugar on Me" for Def Leppard (amazing). If you are a Tom Cruise fan, you should read the whole thing. If not, we'll just share the most interesting part for people who still can't shake that image of the couch-jumping, Scientology-touting Cruise of 2005.
Asked if he feels like he was judged too harshly after the infamous Oprah outburst, he gives a relaxed (rambling) answer that concludes: "How harshly I'm judged or not judged, I don't think about stuff like that. I feel lucky. I remember as a kid I wanted an adventurous life, and I've gotten it. So if someone judges me harshly, it's okay. I don't even judge them harshly for doing it."
BUT that doesn't mean he sits back and takes whatever the media will dish to him. "I remember back as a little kid, going into a new school. Always, you know there will be a guy coming up at you, and you just wait for it. The first day someone's going to slam me against a locker, and then it's on. I don't want the fight, but it's there, it's happening."
Cruise then extends that school analogy a little further: "There's one thing you know with a bully. I don't care how big or mean they are. If you allow it, if you don't stand up to that … And there are different ways to do it. There's the schoolyard, but sometimes just confronting them works. I learned hard lessons as a kid, and you think that once you grow up and aren't at school, it will be different. It isn't; it's just bigger. I was being evaluated by the world. You have language barriers. There are lots of ways to incite incidents through miscommunication. The Internet has made it more immediate for false stuff. I've learned to just let it go or communicate where you can."
So, the Rock of Ages star said he picks his battles, when it comes to fighting back against rumors (like he did in the late '90s and early 2000s when he sued tabloids and a porn actor for publishing stories he was gay). "They know I mean it, that if I have to, I will sue," he explains. "You start with a letter saying, 'Okay, you know it's not true. Apologize.' There is a point with a lot of things when you just go, You know what? I don't want to waste my time with this. I'm busy. I'd rather spend this time with my kids and my wife, at home or on our movies, creating a life together."

"'I started acting here at Amarillo High School, Amarillo College, Amarillo Little Theater, Reparatory Theater. I just dipped in a little bit of everywhere here. Then once I got to Amarillo College my directors suggested that I move out to California and get training."
Chase Edmondson has always had a passion for acting his dream turned into a reality when he hit the streets of L.A.
"I became a SAG actor and created a production company with some of my friends and some people from Texas and we started producing a web series called 'Buffering.'Now that's a show we produce that's on YouTube. It's filled mostly with Texas actors and crew members and then once we finish this season we're going to treat it as a pilot and pitch it to networks."
"I couldn't really see myself doing anything else. When you're doing something that you love you know it and you know that's what you're supposed to be doing. That keeps my going. I also have friends and roommates that are working. So when they're working and I'm not, it just makes me strive a little harder."
Hollywood isn't all lights, camera, action. It takes perseverance and down right hard work.
"Everyone moves out to LA thinking glorious Hollywood and you just walk around on the streets and get discovered. I would advise anyone in Amarillo who wants to be an actor and who wants to move out to L.A. and get into the industry to really prepare yourself. Especially as an actor you need to be training. If you're not training three times a week, you need to start because out there it's competitive."
That hard work, in Chase's case, paid off.
"There's actually two websites where they post the character break down for all the castings out in L.A. and they posted wanting look-a-likes for One Direction and someone once before joked that I looked like Harry Stiles so I submitted. It's a joke I'm not going to get it. Two days later are you available and I'm like really."
They hired us to impersonate them on Hollywood Blvd going around telling everyone that we're them. We got people to believe us. Then they asked us if we would come back for their One-D day which is their 7 hour stream on YouTube to promote their new album. We got to meet them and talk to them and even got to sing a little bit of "White Christmas" with them and Jerry Springer.
So how do you top a sing a long with One-D and Jerry Springer?
"Future goals right now, just trying to work on finished 'Buffering' and pitching it to networks and hopefully get picked up."

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y.- The French Institute Alliance Française, in conjunction with
Bard College, presents the final three lectures in the series "Paris on the Hudson."
Three Bard College professors will discuss their encounters with France and how its
culture changed their lives. While these academics maintain close ties with France and
frequently travel there, each has nurtured his or her vision of France at Bard College
in Annandale-on-Hudson. The series will be held at the French Institute Alliance
Française (FIAF), located at 22 East 60 Street, between Park and Madison Avenues in
Manhattan. Each lecture, held on the second Thursday of each month, begins at 7 p.m.
James Chace, the Paul W. Williams Professor of Government and Public Law and Administration, will speak on Thursday, February 11. His topic is "From Innocence to Experience: A Cold War Education." Chace is the author most recently of Acheson, Architect of the American Era: A Biography. He is editor of World Policy Journal and author or editor of ten books, including The Consequence of Peace: American Foreign Policy after the Cold War; What We Had, a memoir; and The Rules of the Games. Chace is director of the French-American Foundation; chevalier in l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres, French Government; copresident of the Center for the New Internationalism; and senior advisor for the Eurasia Group. He was managing editor of Foreign Affairs (1970-1983) and international affairs editor of The New York Times Book Review (1984-1987).
Norman Manea will talk about "Bucharest in Paris: Writers with Double Passports" on March 11. Manea is writer in residence at Bard College and Francis Flournoy Professor in European Studies and Culture. Described by some critics as a literary descendant of Kafka, he is the author of novels, short fiction, and essays. His books include October, Eight O'Clock and Compulsory Happiness (both fiction), On Clowns: The Dictator and the Artist, and The Black Envelope. A native of Romania, Manea was deported at age five to a concentration camp and returned to Romania at the end of World War II. He left Romania in 1986 and has taught at Bard College since 1989.
The final lecture of the series, on April 8, will be presented by Marina van Zuylen, assistant professor of French and author of Difficulty as an Aesthetic Principle and Monomania. Her topic is "On Tocqueville's Trail: Journeys to Endless Exile".
The French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) is New York's French cultural center, offering more than two hundred language classes, New York's most extensive all-French library, and two theaters providing a comprehensive mix of French film, live performances, lectures, and seminars.
The lecture series Paris on the Hudson will be held in the Tinker Auditorium at the French Institute Alliance Française and is open to the public. Lectures begin at 7 p.m. and admission is $8 for non-FIAF members. Call 212-355-6160 for further information.

Well, there seems to be trouble in the Democratic ranks:
Conservative Democrats in the House rebelled against their party leaders Thursday, raising concerns about the cost of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul and seeking to put the brakes on legislation. The fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition planned to present a letter to House Democratic leaders asking for more time, members of the group told The Associated Press.
Democratic Rep. Mike Ross of Arkansas said that if the Democrats' liberal legislative plan came to the floor as proposed, an "overwhelming majority" of his group would oppose it. The Blue Dogs claim 52 members, so that could endanger the bill.
The move comes just as House Democratic leaders are trying to finalize the proposed legislation and unveil it Friday. Committees plan to vote next week and House leaders want to pass a bill before the August recess.
Over in the Senate, Chuck Schumer is now talking about getting a health-care bill to the president "by the end of the year." And keep in mind these are Democrats who are in revolt. Today we hear that the House Democratic Leadership has delayed the unveiling of their grand plan indefinitely while they fight it out with the Blue Dogs.
It will be hard to paint this development as the antics of those mean Republicans always blocking universal care to the masses. The Democrats have the votes to pass health care — but not the type Schumer and Obama would like.
Perhaps Schumer and company will get their government take-over of health care passed by December. But by then unemployment will be worse, not better, and the deficit is likely to be larger, not smaller. The president's popularity is heading south and so is his agenda. Recall that he was desperate to pass his agenda while he was riding high in the polls and before the public could wake up to the enormous government expansion underway. Looks like he didn't act quite fast enough.
Perhaps Obama might instead declare a moratorium on hugely expensive power grabs by government until he gets unemployment down to low single digits. That would be a change many, even in his own party, could believe in.

Newly public social networking phenomenon Facebook (FB) recently capped an eventful few months by revealing an ambitious expansion of its already sprawling campus in Silicon Valley.
A cross between an aircraft hangar and a vast urban park, the approximately 433,555-square-foot building was described by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as the "largest open floor plan in the world."In a status update, Zuckerberg said that the new campus will be "the perfect engineering space: one giant room that fits thousands of people, all close enough to collaborate together."
Situated on the other side of the Bayfront Expressway from the company's headquarters, the 22-acre West Campus, formerly home to Tyco Electronics, will eventually house 2,800 Facebook engineers. Acclaimed architect Frank Gehry, the man behind the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, will design the building.
"The Frank Gehry building is getting us back to our roots and getting us back to a building that represents Facebook," explained Slater Tow, a Facebook spokesman, during an interview at the company's headquarters. "Up until we moved here we were based mainly out of one room in Palo Alto — that has always been how we have worked."

Facebook completed its move to its 57-acre HQ, known as its East Campus, in late 2011, taking over a cluster of buildings previously occupied by Sun Microsystems.
In a recent blog post, Facebook's environmental design manager, Everett Katigbak, noted that the new campus will somewhat resemble a warehouse. "Everyone will sit out in the open with desks that can be quickly shuffled around as teams form and break apart around projects," he wrote. "There will be cafes and lots of micro-kitchens with snacks so that you never have to go hungry. And we'll fill the building with break-away spaces with couches and whiteboards to make getting away from your desk easy."
The new campus, however, will boast a highly unusual exterior, with Facebook turning the building's roof into a park, complete with long walking trail and a field.
"It's a fully functional rooftop garden — it's going to be really cool," explained Facebook's Tow, noting that the campus will push the green envelope. "We're basically going to plant a forest around the ground level — it's almost like this building is peeking out of the forest."
While the West Campus is still at the planning stage, Facebook offered TheStreet a tour of the company's East Campus this week, providing a glimpse into life at one of America's highest-profile companies.
The first thing you notice after entering the campus is that its buildings flank a sort of "main street," complete with cafes and a subsidized branch of the popular West Coast coffee haunt Philz Coffee. A Mexican restaurant and a sushi restaurant will also be opening, further adding to the atmosphere of a Silicon Valley village.
Clearly, no one would ever starve at Facebook. TheStreet visited the Epic Café, one of the company's two main cafes, which offered a vast array of free food for employees. The roomy and well-lit space, which would not have looked out of place in Tribeca, was crafted by design gurus Roman and Williams, the team behind New York's Ace Hotel.
Larger than I imagined, the nine buildings that make up the campus house around 2,500 employees and have a combined floor space of more than 1 million square feet. There was also a decent amount of activity on the day I visited as Facebookers strolled or cycled the site's main thoroughfare.

Designs by Mikel is an AMAZING shoppe driven by the creativity of Mikel [did you guess that?]. She makes seriously gorgeous pieces, and has a lot of her own heart in each one. Here is a little more about her...
I have been an artist as long as I can remember. Art has always been away for me to express myself in ways that words never totally could. Thankfully, I was raised in a home where my mother encouraged my creativity. From there, I got a BA in Fine Art and Graphics, and am one math class short of an architectural engineering degree. I love to paint, draw, sew, crochet, bead, create pottery, and Photoshop. I have written many tutorials which were published online for several years. About anything I create these days has 15 to 20 years experience behind it. I am waiting to really find my muse, at the moment, jewelry, crochet, and sewing have taken a forefront.
I have been a single mother much of my life, and it's been a necessity to pursue avenues of income that were stable. I have been a graphic designer, interior designer and I think my most favorite, flight attendant. As far as where I am from, I definitely am a gypsy. My great, great grandfather founded Woods Cross so my family's base is the Salt Lake Valley. I live with my wonderfully romantic and sweet husband and my yellow lab Tessa. My daughter is married and in school. Health issues have recently forced me to be on a medical leave from work. This has presented a unique time in my life. Time I have never had before. Time for me. J And yes... it still feels a little selfish.
I am on a journey to create! I want to inspire and help others create. It is a time for me to bond with other women, make new friends, and celebrate life. I am enjoying getting to know so many wonderful people who have shoppes on etsy, or sell at boutiques. I am amazed and inspired by the business sense and the talent! I definitely am the shy, introverted artist type, but working on expanding my personality because sometimes it has kept me from leaping when I am inspired.
It is my prayer that all women know how beautiful they are! I think it can be easy to sell ourselves short and forget truly how much we all have to give.
Designs by Mikel also makes these amazing cuffs for women's empowerment. 20% of each sale goes to the Rape Recovery Center. What better way to spend your money than to help other women, and get a gorgeous cuff at the same time?
