Top Sweethearts: Leisha and Guy Dioguardi

Jan. 7, 2013 at 11:04 a.m.
Updated Jan. 6, 2013 at 7:07 p.m.

The Dioguardis were chosen as one of the Top Sweethearts because of their exciting story of meeting each other halfway around the world and moving to Victoria to be together.

Their story was submitted by Leisha Dioguardi.

“The fact that I was flying back to Texas in a week and that Guy lived in Australia, talk about a geography problem! I knew we had some serious obstacles, but also knew that Guy Dioguardi was everything I looked for in a person.” – Leisha Dioguardi

What is the most romantic moment you've shared as a couple?

Guy: We were going to the Twelve Apostles in Australia, which is along a beach with giant limestone walls. We were walking hand-in-hand and we put the camera down to run after the waves. We came running back away from a big wave and it washed our camera away.

Leisha: On one of our first dates in Australia, Guy took me to the Dandenong Mountains. We had an incredible date and I remember thinking he was the right man for me.

What is your favorite thing about your partner?

Guy about Leisha: Her long legs. They're a good-looking pair of legs. It's the first thing I noticed about her when I first saw her.

Leisha about Guy: His smile, his laugh and his humor. He is just full of warmth and makes everyone laugh.

When did you know you were going to spend the rest of your lives together?

Guy: When I came to see her in the United States on April 27, 1992. We both decided we should have a house in downtown and that's when it went "ding!"

Leisha: I think it was that point on the mountain, when I knew that he was the man I was going to marry. I knew we had just met, but I felt differently about him versus other people I had dated before.

How would your family and friends describe the two of you as a couple?

Guy: Crazy. We're both very loud and headstrong, but in the end she's more bossy than I am.

Leisha: Loving and stable. And they say we kiss too much in public.

What's the wildest thing you and your partner have ever done together?

Guy: In 1997, we renovated a house. She picked the house, we walked in and there was no staircase. She said we had to buy the house and we spent five years re-building it.

Leisha: I would have to agree with Guy. Some of our renovation projects have been beyond imagination for most people. On one of our projects, we had numerous people in need of work offer to help us "tear it down," instead we chose to re-build something beautiful.

What traditions do you have when celebrating your anniversary?

Guy: We don't have a place or theme, but last year, we went to the Bahamas. We like to break away from everything and focus on each other.

Leisha: Guy doesn't give flowers on just special occasions, so it's special all the time. Out anniversary is so close to my birthday that he makes sure that both days are special usually taking a trip out of town.

East principal named new Cuero Junior High School principal

By Carolina Astrain
June 5, 2013 at 1:05 a.m.
Updated June 6, 2013 at 1:06 a.m.

Greg Crockett's wardrobe will get a little greener this summer as he begins his new post as Cuero Junior High School's new principal.

Crockett, 50, announced his resignation as principal for Victoria East High School earlier this week to the school's faculty and staff.

"I still believe I will always be a Titan, even though I'm excited about the new opportunity I've been given," Crockett said. "I still have friends (in Victoria), and I'll keep in touch with them."

The current principal at Cuero Junior High School, Donnie Garrison, resigned last month with plans to re-enter retirement, said James Haley, Cuero school district superintendent.

"Donnie had a very successful career," Haley said. "We're honoring him on Friday to show our appreciation."

This won't be Crockett's first time working at the junior high school.

Crockett served as principal for Cuero Junior High from 2001 to 2003 before taking a position at Memorial High School, where he later became principal in 2007.

"Cuero was my first principal job," Crockett said. "It's always been a goal of mine to return to Cuero."

Crockett will make $75,000 under a one-year contract at his new job, Haley said.

A Victoria school district high school principal makes between $80,463.20 and $117,040.10, according to the district's 2012-13 pay scales posted on their website.

Despite the pay cut, Crockett said he's excited about the move.

"I love Victoria East, but it's time for a change, and I'm looking forward to this challenge," Crockett said. "The adjustment will be fast."

After his appointment was approved, Crockett said he was given a green Gobblers' cap as congratulations.

"I'm very excited about the appointment," Haley said. "He was very well thought of and respected when he worked here previously."

Haley said the board emphasized Crockett's strength as an instructional leader during the consideration, and he was highly recommended by VISD.

Crockett was among seven applicants for the Cuero Junior High School position, the superintendent said.

Yoakum attorney pleads guilty to mishandling client's money, loses law license

Sonny Long

By Sonny Long
June 24, 2013 at 1:24 a.m.
Updated June 25, 2013 at 1:25 a.m.

Yoakum attorney Charles J. Kvinta Jr. has pleaded guilty to mishandling an elderly client's money.

The official charge is misapplication of fiduciary property of an elderly person, a first degree felony.

Kvinta, an attorney since 1985, entered into a plea agreement Wednesday in Cuero that avoided a grand jury indictment and a trial, according to 24th Judicial District Court documents.

He will be formally sentenced Aug. 1. He is free on a $20,000 personal recognizance bond.

The terms of the plea bargain include 45 days in jail, a $5,000 fine and 500 hours of community service, according to court documents.

Kvinta must surrender his law license by Aug. 1.

He also must pay restitution to the woman, Nettie Steen, though the amount was not spelled out in the terms of the plea bargain on file at the district clerk's office.

Kvinta will also be on probation for six years.

He could have been sentenced to between five and 99 years in prison if the plea agreement had not been reached and he had been found guilty.

The charge stems from an October 2010 check made out to Steen from GeoSouthern Energy for $166,143 that was deposited into a Kvinta, Kvinta and Kvinta law firm trust account and never transferred to Steen.

DeWitt County District Attorney Michael Sheppard recused himself from the case because of his professional relationship with Kvinta.

Shane Attaway, assistant attorney general in the White Collar Crime and Public Integrity Section, represented the state for the Attorney General's Office.

Earlier this month, a civil suit involving Kvinta, his law firm and Steen was settled in Lavaca County.

The suit claimed Kvinta "fraudulently induced (Steen) to enter into" agreements to sell 110.762 acres of land and lease the mineral rights.

The suit also alleged Kvinta "misappropriated (Steen's) personal funds."

As part of the settlement Kvinta and his firm were ordered to pay $500,000 to Steen.

"It was an unfortunate situation, and we are glad we were able to help Mrs. Steen," said Austin attorney Rick Leeper, who along with Dicky Grigg represented Steen.

Kvinta submitted his resignation as Yoakum city attorney June 12, said city manager Kevin Coleman.

The City Council met in a special called meeting June 18 to accept the resignation and review options for city legal services moving forward, Coleman said.

The Advocate was unable to reach Kvinta for comment. His attorney in the criminal case, Van Hilley, of San Antonio, did not return telephone calls.

Bargains in Blood

Last year was unusually bountiful for home-video completists, even if several of the most historically significant titles that made it to disc were not heralded as such. Image Entertainment recently released DVDs of five horror movies produced in the Philippines during the 1960s and '70s, nearly doubling the number of films by Gerardo De Leon and Eddie Romero available in North America.

De Leon and Romero may not be household names in the West, even among cineastes, but in the Philippines they're justifiably revered. De Leon directed dozens of films in his 30-odd-year career, including acclaimed adaptations of national hero José Rizal's novels Noli Me Tangere (1961) and El Filibusterismo (1962) (neither of which are on video), and was the first filmmaker to be recognized as a Philippines National Artist shortly after his death in 1981. Romero, who appears in a filmed interview on the Image discs, helmed the seminal As We Were (1976)—also unavailable for home viewing—and was a friend and contemporary of Lino Brocka. He continues to work to this day.

So why did such respected artists co-direct dubious English-language movies like Brides of Blood (1968) and The Mad Doctor of Blood Island (1969), two of the recent Image releases? Primarily to keep working after the collapse of the Philippines' studio system in the late '50s, when independent film production began in earnest. Romero teamed with Kane W. Lynn, a former GI and one of several American micro-moguls who perceived the location's low-budget potential (Roger Corman was another). The two formed Hemisphere Pictures, which produced and/or distributed the aforementioned horror films as well as a slew of well-regarded war pictures and lucrative exploitation movies. Many of these entries in the De Leon-Romero oeuvre arrived on video prior to the Image releases, including WWII drama The Walls of Hell (1964, available from Fox Lorber) and chicks-in-chains epics like Black Mama, White Mama (1972, Warner) and Women in Cages (1971, Corman's New Concorde).

De Leon came to these American productions under less propitious circumstances: He was hired by Romero, his former protégé, and the two worked together almost exclusively for over a decade. Nevertheless, his are the more aesthetically exhilarating works in the cycle. Image's lovingly remastered discs of The Blood Drinkers (1964) and Blood (née Curse) of the Vampires (1966)—two Tagalog vampire films that Hemisphere purchased ready-made—showcase the antic action, spare narrative, and deep-focus setups that typify De Leon's style. It's unfortunate that these gifted filmmakers are known here mainly for movies like Terror Is a Man (1959) and Beast of Blood (1970, both also available from Image), but, viewed with the proper historical perspective, they provide a glimpse into the directors' distinctive talents.

If I Stay (PG-13)

Drama 106 August 22, 2014
By Stephanie Zacharek
Given the dearth of dramas about real-life grown-up problems, especially in summertime, movies adapted from young-adult novels are about the best we can hope for. Even when they're not great, they fill a need, for teenagers and grown-ups alike. If you're in the mood for a story about humans who are a little less expendable, you could do worse than spend an air-conditioned afternoon watching If I Stay. Chloë Grace Moretz plays Mia, a teenage rebel, though not the sort you'd expect: She's a disciplined cellist with dreams of attending Juilliard.

The cutest and coolest guy in her school, an aspiring rock guitarist named Adam (Jamie Blackley), spies her practicing alone in a classroom one day, and zing go the strings of his heart. They begin dating, but tragedy strikes: Mia and her family suffer a serious car accident, one that puts Mia in a coma. While flesh-and-blood Mia lies in a hospital bed, right at the crossroads of life and death, out-of-body Mia drifts around listlessly, reflecting on her recent past and asking herself the same question the Clash once posited: Should I stay or should I go? It's the ultimate teenage fantasy, an extension of the "You'd be sorry if I died!" retort so beloved by melodramatic 15-year-olds everywhere. At a certain point, If I Stay takes a maudlin turn and just keeps going. But Moretz is strong enough to carry it. She makes out-of-body Mia's soul-searching wholly believable: There's a vulnerable softness to her eyes that suggests she really is thinking and feeling all the time, suspended in that gel of emotional turmoil we remember as teenagerhood.

Study Shows Country Life Full of Danger, Self-Knifings

Tired of city life? Yearn to light out for the country? Think twice, it could kill you, or at least hurt you real bad. A new study from the University of West Virginia (and they should know) says that while urbanites suffer more hospitalizations for assault (props!), the hicks in the sticks get injured badly enough to wind up in the hospital (or, as they call it in God's Country, the healin' smokehouse) far more frequently than city folk -- 35 percent more often in "sparsely populated rural counties" and 27 percent more often in more populated rural counties. In fact, says WVU's Dr. Jeffrey H. Coben, "As the population density decreases, the risk continues to increase." Don't that beat all?

The study, appearing in the January American Journal of Preventive Medicine, says rural people are "more likely to take part in risky behaviors such as recreational drug use, drunken driving or failing to use seatbelts." Also, their "culture of self-reliance" leads them "to undertake household fix-up chores that are inherently dangerous, such as roof repairs" or whittlin'.

The study also says rurals suffer more "self-inflicted injuries... with poisons, knives and guns the instruments of choice." Knives? Hard-corn! Respect for our country cousins, y'all. They got a mighty rough life out yonder.

Peyton getting a grip on elements in Denver

Published: Wed, January 9, 2013 @ 12:00 a.m.

Associated Press

There’s a new “Gloved One” — in Denver, at least.

Ripping a page from Michael Jackson’s playbook, Peyton Manning has practiced for and played in the last two games with a sticky-feeling, orange-and-grey glove on his throwing hand.

Sure, Manning has earned his fair share of curious glances for donning cold-weather gear when the temperatures are in the 50s, as they were Tuesday at practice.

But in getting ready for the playoff push, which could include two games in sometimes-snowy Denver, Manning is leaving no stone unturned. And, as if on cue, a strong arctic storm is expected to roll into Denver on Friday night, bringing snow and bitter cold. The high for Saturday’s playoff game against Baltimore is forecast to be 20 degrees.

Manning, who won his only Super Bowl playing barehanded in a rainstorm in Miami in 2007, said he hasn’t given much thought to whether the glove would help him more in cold or wet conditions, each of which can make the ball harder, more slick and more difficult to grip.

“I really have not thought about it that analytically, if that’s the word,” Manning said. “It’s a glove.”

Of course, if Peyton Manning is wearing it, it’s more than a glove — it’s a topic of conversation.

A creature of habit who hasn’t worn anything on his hands before this season, Manning conceded the glove is a concession to the altered feel of his grip, especially in cold weather, after the multiple neck surgeries he underwent during his season out of football.

“I certainly don’t think I would have had to wear the glove had I not been injured last year,” he said. “It’s part of my injury, some things that I’ve had to adjust. I’m in a different body, some things are different for me, so that’s the reason for that as much as anything.”

Manning could certainly use any edge he can get in cold weather.

He is 0-3 in playoff games in which the temperature at kickoff is less than 40 degrees. His numbers in those games hardly resemble the norm for a four-time Most Valuable Player with more than 59,000 yards to his credit.

A Note from The Virtual Wall

A recon patrol consisting of 1stLt William McBride and 7 enlisted men from the 2nd Plt, A Co, 3rd Recon, was inserted into the southern end of the A Shau Valley, Thua Thien Province, at 1300 on 01 Aug 1967. The patrol took note of apparent signaling shots immediately after the insertion but had no contact until 1400, 02 Aug, when they encountered 4 Montangard civilians. The patrol moved away from the contact area but shortly afterwards exchanged fire with an enemy force. Breaking contact at 1630, the patrol moved toward a nearby valley. Fixed-wing and helicopter support arrived on station at 1700 and exchanged fire with enemy ground forces. An extraction attempt at about 1910 had to be aborted because of enemy presence near the extraction pick-up zone. The patrol established a defensive position and through the night called artillery fires in on suspected enemy positions.

At 0830 03 Aug a CH-46A (BuNo 151923) from HMM-164 landed and began the extraction. As the last member of the patrol came aboard, the helo was hit by two RPG or B-40 rounds, killing one crewman and three members of the patrol and wounding four others - and disabling the CH-46. The chase helo then landed, took the survivors aboard, and departed under fire. There was no opportunity to recover the four bodies from BuNo 151923 and they were classed as Killed in Action, Body not Recovered:

  • Aircrew, HMM-164, MAG-16
    • Cpl Thomas A. Gopp, New London, OH

  • A Co, 3rd Recon Bn
    • HN James P. McGrath, Chicago, IL
    • LCpl John B. Nahan, Allegan, MI
    • LCpl Jack Wolpe, Newburgh, NY
Almost 30 years later the helo site was examined by JTF and human remains repatriated on 08 June 1994. On 10 July 2001 the Defense Department announced that individual remains from all four men had been positively identified.

Thorvaldsen's Museum

Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) spent more than 40 years in Rome and was one of the most renowned artists among his contemporaries in Europe. In 1838, he donated his large art collection to his native city Copenhagen.

The conspicuous and colourful museum building was erected from 1839-1848 by the Danish Architect M.B. Bindesbøll and is one of the finest buildings in Copenhagen, located right next to the parliament building and the canal.

Thorvaldsens Museum primarily contains Thorvaldsen's own sculptures but the museum also contains Thorvaldsen's large collection of paintings made by contemporary European and Danish artists, and his collection of antiques.

Launched in 1975, the traveling collection owned by BMW includes 17 cars, four of which are in Estonia, and features works by world-famous artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Jeff Coons, A. R. Penck and David Hockney, ERR radio reported.

The Kumu exhibit includes the most recent, 2010 car by Jeff Coons.

"Such big names in art have not been present in Estonia before, so with these cars, it is the truly the first time that these kinds of great artist have been represented in Estonia. These cars travel around the world. They have even been in the Louvre, Guggenheim and Bilbao, so Kumu is overjoyed to have these cars here,“ said organizer Merilin Mets.

The Goethe Institute in Estonia helped bring the exhibit to Kumu as part of its German Spring festival.

The Kumu exhibit will open through July 28.

If there is one aspect of the beauty world that I don’t give two hoots about, it’s going barefaced. Whether I’m popping out for a pint of milk or spending the whole day venturing outside the house I’m really not bothered if all that is veiling my complexion is moisturiser and a layer of SPF. It hasn’t always been this way. In my late teenage years I was a big believer in the miracles that a coat of mascara and a quick dab of concealer can do; two products which I still do believe in the power of. But it wasn’t until I reached my twenties that I realised that those quick swipes and strokes really aren’t necessary. Sometimes – ain’t nobody got time for that. It’s a threefold reason and a tale that I thought I’d cover for today’s instalment of me, myself and my laptop…

Firstly, no one cares. I highly doubt any fellow commuters standing in my carriage have ever pondered that my face was in need of a little extra coverage. “And that spot? What an eyesore”. Yep, not gonna happen. They’re more interested in Candy Crush.

Then there’s the aspect of moderation. I quite like the moment after a barefaced day or two when it comes to sitting myself back down on my dressing table chair. A little break is always good for the creative juices and it gets me excited for that day’s makeup menu. Lame but true. It makes me fall back in love with the pretty stuff all over again.

But most importantly – I like myself. Sure there are sometimes when I’m blowdrying my hair upside now, naked, and catch a flash of a few unflattering folds and ripples in the mirror but I forget about that episode as soon as someone offers me a biscuit. There are things that are wonky, small or big, but there are redeeming features that balance it all out and luckily although I inherited some questionable (read: hairy) traits from my father, I’ve got all the best bits of my Mum. Me and the mirror we’re friends. Not to a ‘every time I pass a car I check myself out in the mirror’ degree (anyone ever done that when there’s a passenger in the car?), but we get along.

A tale odeing to a love of barefaced being may seem a bit bizarre from a person who writes ditties about products every single day and has boxes of the stuff crammed into every single crevice of her flat, but the reason I love makeup so much is not because it’s necessary, but more it’s an accessory. It’s fun, creative, a way to experiment with colour (I know, I know – but I do sport the odd red lip from time to time).

So I guess my conclusion is that just because we’re a bunch makeup mavens, it doesn’t mean we have to paint the stuff on everyday. Beauty comes from within, barefaced or not, and the fact that it’s what inside that counts is a good thing for me because all that is concealed in my persons is a tray full of brownies and a Ben’s Cookie or two. And boy are they beautiful.

  • http://avaalon.com/ Avalon

    This is my favourite post of yours Anna, it was so heartfelt and honest. You’re right once people learn to love themselves makeup can become a fun accessory. I still have a lot to work on but hopefully I’ll be there soon. You are right, fellow commuters are mostly interested in candy crush, or catching the last dregs of sleep before the working day! You look gorgeous, as always!

  • Anna Blush

    I know exactly what you mean here Anna. Whilst I’m not brave enough to rock a bare face too frequently I do love that feeling the day after when I’m excited to get right back in to it. It’s so true that we should all love ourselves, makeup is just a bit of fun! x

  • Bonnie Garner

    I feel exactly the same. Working from home, I’m just happy with my bare face sometimes and will enjoy my beautiful makeup even more!

  • Leehe

    This is an amazing post. You don’t understand how much this means to not only me, but to the many girls that follow your blog. I love this and cannot thank you enough!

  • Bella

    I wish I could like this article 40 times. Very very well said. I wish I’d known this in my 20’s, but then again, better late than never! I am also happy to go barefaced when I don’t have to work or socialise. And yup, one still looks normal, and *no-one cares*. There was a time back when everyone was tweeting #nomakeupselfie like it was a thing: my FB profile pic had been a no makeup selfie forever, and it looks fine!

  • http://blushingbiddies.com/ Puri

    Girl, preach it! I use makeup when I have the time and when I feel like it. In no way is it a necessity for me. I’m 29 and I just got into makeup like…. 6 months ago, lol! (**all the cruelty free kinda products, i mean ^_^) Even with all my acne scars, I’m not afraid to go out bare-faced. Love this post, and love you! <3

  • elsa

    Oh Anna! thank you for this post, which is I guess sort of necessary these days. Also, I’m french and have lived in London, anyway I love the way you write! It reminds me of my time in the UK, of the british humor and way of thinking, so thanks! Really appreciate your blog and channel, both professional, lovely and inspiring!

    So true Anna. I go out to the shop more times than I care to mention with no scrap of make-up on whatsoever. Sure, the cashiers probably think I look like that 365 days a year but who cares?
    As long as you’re happy with your own skin then I feel you should embrace it :)

  • sofika
  • Brook Dellar

    This is so true. Within the beauty world, we can all get a little caught up in the latest eyeshadow or the latest lip gloss and end up covering up the true us! May go barefaced more now! Lots of love x

    Hoorah! This is such a brilliant post, well done. I used to wear makeup every day for a corporate office job and it is not so refreshing to go out without a slick on my face.

    And if there are people out there who worry about what I look like without makeup, well the aren’t the type of people I want to have around.

  • Patrícia

    Brilliant post! I definitely need to have some more no makeup days – you’ve inspired me to do so anyway! And fair play to you for liking yourself, I think we all need to show a little more self-love these days :)

  • Sandy

    Spot on, barefaced beauty is always the prettiest :) xx

  • gcmiles17 .

    I agree with you. The problem with wearing lots of make-up every day is that if you are caught without it on a rare occasion, people ask “are you feeling ok?”. It is definitely important to be comfortable in your own skin, even if your own skin has its off days!

  • Tascha

    Well,unfortunately, People do care. I managed to be brave and go to school with just some mascara and my teacher said: oh, so you painted some circles on your face? What for? And everyone suddenly seems to think I’m terribly ill and asks me if I’m feeling well because ‘you look a bit red around your nose’. And I just don’t want to be the girl with the red nose you know?

  • Michelle Glassow Schroll

    This post was brilliant! I totally agree with you. And I often go out without makeup because I work out every day and working out with a face full of makeup is just not working for me :)

  • Talisa Lauren Tossell

    Completely agree! When i stopped wearing makeup people kept asking me if i was sick but eventually they got used to it!

  • http://www.sophs-choices.blogspot.co.uk/ SophsChoices

    This is such a great post. More people should be going barefaced if they want to and not worry about what other people think because most of the time people will be thinking ‘wow, she looks stunning and she’s not even wearing makeup’.

  • Parisian To Be

    Ah, this post made me day. I always struggle with body image and that kind of stuff, but I’m rather sure that beauty comes from within. Makeup is so fun, and I get that, but I’m also a true believer that people are the most beautiful in their natural skin, hair, and complexion.

  • Lidia

    Lovely lovely post

    I’m absolutely comfortable going barefaced anytime, anywhere. In fact, people would have to tell me in advance if they prefer me wearing makeup. My friends find it funny that I have pretty decent makeup skills but prefer to go barefaced, but I don’t really care. I just like being me (:

  • Tarte Tanya

    Lovely post, I wish more people thought this way.
    Your skin looks absolutely flawless may I add.
    I always like to remind myself when going barefaced even with a spot is that ‘I am human so pimples, redness and un-plucked eyebrows are allowed to happen’

  • Dani

    lovely post, nice refreshing look at beauty from within, which we all need reminding of every now and then

  • polly

    If you have nice skin then no, people don’t care. But for me if I don’t wear makeup I face a whole day of ‘are you feeling ok?’ or ‘you look ill’ or ‘you look really tired today’ (even though I’m wide awake & feeling great). It sucks. You’re so lucky that you have beautiful skin! You don’t need to wear makeup.. I have very blotchy skin with acne and unfortunately it ain’t going away anytime soon.. so make-up it is!

  • Hannah Griffin

    Absolutely perfectly written and said!

  • Lilian

    Great post! As for the ‘pass a car and check myself out in the mirror when there is a passenger inside’ part, I ALMOST did that one time when I didn’t have a mirror with me and wanted to see if my face was clean after a meal….luckily I realised someone was in the car quick enough and walked away…but that was embarrassing enough for me. LOL
    (disclaimer: I don’t check myself out in every mirror on my way. That was totally an accident. LOL)

  • ElisabethRilatt

    What a thoroughly fantastic post :) I have to admit Anna, I’m not so great at venturing out in public with no make up. It’s a self confidence thing…however, after reading this I’ve had a brand new way of looking at things and you’re 100% right!

  • Moria

    great and inspiring post, makes you think

  • Oresiri teru

    Well said, Anna! This is a beautiful post and really this message should be sent out more often. Love yourself for who you are on the inside! That always shines through more than any amount of makeup we slap on our faces. Totally inspired, Anna!

  • Noisy Rain

    This is such an amazing post. I am getting to love your blog more and more everyday, between your lovely vlogs where you just show your happiest and most embarassing moments (hey to open the door to the post man in your shower towel) to these heart to heart posts. Louverlyy x

  • Sej

    I love this post! I think you’re quite right that it’s important to make peace with ourselves and realise that we’re our harshest critics.

    I like makeup as a means to subtly enhance certain features I like and to quietly hide my dark circles, but trying to achieve perfection is an unhealthy ideal. I don’t understand how some people have the energy for it.

    Great post! I have to agree. Also, if I might add, I find that going bareface every now and then also allows me to focus on taking care of my skin. I’ve been so into skincare more than ever lately, so this post really grabbed my attention and I’m glad I took the time to read it!

  • Cherie

    I love this so much! Its kind of what I think when I hear people saying that makeup is only worn because girls are insecure. Love your blog Anna!

  • Prettysnoopy

    You’re so inspirational Anna! My skin is nowhere near as good as yours, but if it was, I wouldn’t worry about wearing makeup either! xx

  • Kelsey

    You took the words right from my mouth. An impressive post. I think (for most of us) we indulge in the beauty world not simply because we want to look amazing all the time and aim to be perfect (no,no,no)……..but because it is fun, creative and interesting. It makes us feel girly and complete. We feel good. I think it’s great you shared this and I promise i’m not old, i’m just a student. :)

  • Emma

    Such a great post.

    I think you’re right, the nice thing about transitioning into your 20’s is that you realise that no one cares or notices half as much as you think they do! Or you think they did when you were a teenager!

  • Khannablog

    Brilliant post! Sometimes I find make up such a faf and love to just go out and reveal all!

  • http://www.pinkpolkadotandpopcorn.blogspot.co.uk Helen Boswell

    You look briliant with no make up. I do find Clinique tinted moisturiser a happy medium when I am not in the mood for applying a whole face of makeup!

  • A.

    That is such an inspirational message. Makeup should be for done for you when you want to do it and not for others. I also love makeup, but I also love going barefaced. I think going without gives you more time to focus on good skincare and gives skin a chance to rest You look great without makeup.

  • Ellen Findley

    I’m totally with you, Anna! I love makeup—it’s so much fun, and it makes me feel good. Sometimes, though, you just need a break! And you’re right: sometimes taking a break from makeup means that it’s that much more fun to put it on the next day. True beauty is character, humor, and confidence: everything else is just icing on the cake. 😉

  • Sophie

    Well, this is easily my favourite blogpost, ever. Thank you, Anna, well done x

  • http://ampersaand.blogspot.ca Ampersaand

    I agree – it’s fun because it’s not necessary, and it’s important to remind ourselves of that!

    A wonderful piece! Makeup is a form of artistry, not a way to conceal true beauty. So well said.

  • Andrea K

    Beautifully put.

    One of my favorite posts you have written :) Beautiful and true!

  • http://blushingwit.com/ Morgan Victoria

    I absolutely love this post, truly one of my favorites I’ve ever read! I was the same way about not being able to go out without makeup when I was a teen, but now that I’m in my 20’s I’m so much more comfortable in my own skin and I can honestly say I don’t care if I go out totally barefaced! Thanks for the lovely read :)

    your skin is amazing!! im trying to go bare faced more than 4 days a week so i can just wear mascara and thats that!

  • http://redlipstickandsparkle.wordpress.com Redlipstickandsparkle

    Very nice post. Bravo for the idea!

  • http://xsimplynitax.blogspot.com/ Nita

    As Beyonce would sing, your skin is flawless! I love wearing makeup, but being barefaced is one of the best feeling. I could touch my face or eyes without worrying about smudging and my skin seems to enjoy it too.

  • Claire

    What a lovely refreshing blog post!!! Love it!

  • Anne-Dorthe Andersen

    This is just such an amazing post! Really enjoyed reading it. I personally have a hard time getting out without some concealer under my eyes and on my spots simply because I think my spots are horrible sometimes. But when I have good skin days I don’t care about makeup if I’m just going to get some milk from the store :-)

  • Julia

    Great Post. I seem to be obsessed with make up and beauty blogs despite rarely wearing more than moisturiser, eyebrows and blusher. The best thing is to love yourself when you look in the mirror, with make up or without.

  • Beth

    I’m a make up artist and I actually love not having make up on. Well done for being so honest and brave, plenty of people wouldn’t be.

  • Anitoons

    Great post! I can completely relate. I like makeup, but not because I want to look perfect, but because it is quite fun! :)

  • http://www.inallofhersplendor.com johnna

    Great Post! The other benefit is your mascara looks so much better when you give your face a break! I still can’t get my self to leave the house with out at least doing my eyebrows…. does that count?

    Great post. I cannot agree more. Beauty comes from within. :)

  • Ashlee

    Great post Anna! I would definitely rather go barefaced all day, everyday. Yet, you now those moments that you pass your newly purchased makeup product that you just HAVE to wear? Yup, that usually happens to me everyday. But I will definitely make an effort this week to go sans makeup and resist the new-makeup urge!

  • Allison

    I take a pass on makeup for the majority of the weekend, I take it off right when I get home so if I have something at night for school I go bare faced- my skin isn’t perfect but whatever I don’t really care haha

  • Hilary Scarbrough

    Great post! I’ve actually been working towards limiting my makeup uses. I only wear it on weekends when I am going out. For a long time I didn’t feel pretty without makeup. I wanted to learn to love myself without it. Now I am confident in myself and don’t worry about it. Thank you for sharing your experience!

  • natsimone

    Couldn’t agree more, love a good naked face day! I tend to try and go bare faced during the day if I know I’m going out at night and will want a heavier look, I find it gives your skin a chance to breathe :)

  • MyOwnLoves

    Agreed! Beauty comes from within xox

  • SandraCherise

    Love this post Anna! A great reminder that beauty comes from within, your confidence is inspiring.

  • Tanya

    So agree. I do too love makeup; but think of it as a fun adventure, not a necessary evil! On the days I do wear it, like you, I am excited to experiment with new products & applications. I have been so blessed to work with some great make-up artists over the years and I love “waving the magic wand” a couple times a week. Honestly, I don’t think anyone really gives a rip if I am all dolled up or not…thank goodness! There are more “things” to look for in a person other than their makeup! Thanks so sharing your confidence & comfortableness with us — it’s refreshing.

  • Laura Snow

    Really inspiring post. I wish I was as confident as you barefaced. Although my face doesn’t tan so I have a ghost-like face and tanned body! Not a good look

  • Rachel Trosino

    YES!!!! This!! I am a high school teacher in the states, and we were just having this discussion in my class. A boy commented that girls wear make-up for boys, at which I laughed, and explained that girls should be wearing make-up for fun, that it’s paint and should be about playing and the art of it, that it has little to do with boys, and if it does, the girl shouldn’t be wearing make-up. Then he asked if I go to the grocery store with make-up on, and I said no. He looked shocked – had never entertained the thought that it might not be about him and his gender. The girls in the class nodded their heads mostly and the ones who felt like they “needed” make-up definitely had food for thought. Thanks for this – girls need to hear this message over and over. Make-up should be FUN. If it’s a need, it’s not fun. If it’s not fun, it’s not worth it. xoxo

  • Ella

    With skin like yours, I’d never wear makeup! But this post definitely hits home, sometimes I forget that if I feel like that concealer looks heavy or cakey I don’t actually NEED to use it. Although I don’t go bare faced very often, I don’t a,ways wear skin makeup because I sometimes just don’t feel like it.

  • http://www.kirstenlearns.com Kirsten Benham

    You’re a fantastic writer, Anna! I only wear makeup if I’m going out to dinner or lunch or something like that. Never to do the groceries or to go to the post office! Because you’re right – NOBODY cares, and I’d rather save my makeup for a special occasion!

    Kirsten | kirstenlearns.com

  • http://www.theunpublishedgirl.blogspot.com/ Claire England

    Such a fantastic post! I can have from time to time quite spotty and red skin (it has calmed down a lot recently though) and the thought of leaving the house without make up on put the fear in me however as I have grown older I really have started to think – who really cares? Yes I will still make an effort in my appearance and wear make up when meeting friends or heading to work but when I pop down to the shop for some milk – no make up is required. When I am heading to the gym in the morning and need to use public transport – no make up is required, in the gym and after – no make up required. It is all about accepting yourself and loving who you are.

    Thank you for writing such an inspiring post and reminding us all that make up at the end of the day is really an indulgence and a bit of fun – definitely not a necessity!

    Claire x

  • http://justvenaagain.blogspot.com/ Vena.Isabella

    I loved reading your post! I admit that I still put on concealer and mascara everytime I go out but I am a big fan of being as bare-faced as I can when I’m just doing everyday things. So when I go to uni I don’t wear much. It makes wearing make-up so much more enjoyable! It turns it into a special occasion and a little treat for yourself. And you can’t forget that pleasure when you look at yourself in the mirror before a night out and think: “Ooh, I look really nice today” :)

  • Amy

    I completely agree! i love my makeup and I tend to wear it more for a boost of confidence but it’s definitely not an essential! :) X

  • Beth

    I just love this post, admire your self-confidence and modesty.

    I really love this post!

  • Susan Evans

    What a lovely read. A am a British hot mess living in Nicaragua and any make up attempts just sweat right off my face! It’s refreshing to see someone barefaced and loving it.

  • Gemma Davis

    How do you get your skin looking so good?? I can’t get rid of the oiliness on and around my nose or enlarged pores, what skincare products would do the trick?

  • http://www.beauty-intel.com/ www.beauty-intel.com

    So true!!! Makeup is fun – but it should not define you!!!

    Lovely post!

    Diana from CANADA!

  • http://www.lovefromlucky.blogspot.com/ Chloe Davis

    I agree with the barefaced statement – it’s an idea we all love the sound of but never truly commit to. I have to admit since starting to love my body more now I’ve lost some weight, I’ve actually become worse with makeup. I even find myself going to the gym with a full face still on which in reality is gross. I’m going to take inspiration from you and take the plunge.

Elena Ferrante on the Origins of her Neapolitan Novels

Between Us: Ferrante writes female friendship like no one else.

Photo: © Erich Lessing/Magnum Photos

In a rare interview, Elena Ferrante reveals the personal origins of her Neapolitan novels.

“Relationships between women don’t have solid rules like those between men,” says the Italian author Elena Ferrante. “I was interested in recounting how a long friendship between two women could endure and survive in spite of good and bad feelings, dependence and rebellion, mutual support and betrayal.”

It would be difficult to find a deeper portrait of women’s friendship than the one in Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels, which unfold from the fifties to the twenty-first century to tell a single story with the possessive force of an origin myth. Beginning with My Brilliant Friend, published in the U.S. two years ago, they’re ruminatively narrated by a writer named Elena, who looks back upon a defining, lifelong bond with the “terrible, dazzling” Lila, whom she meets in first grade. Together, the girls grow up in a corner of Naples Visconti might have filmed, a neighborhood of pastry bakers and fruit-and-vegetable vendors, vendettas, and casual violence. Slim as a “salted anchovy,” with a quicksilver intelligence, Lila ignites the more compliant Elena’s ambitions: “We tore the words from each other’s mouth, creating an excitement that seemed like a storm of electrical charges.”

But when Elena’s parents send her on to middle school, while Lila’s shoemaker father refuses to pay the fees for her to go, their relationship takes on a jagged complexity. Lila turns to designing shoes and then, as she magnetizes the young men of the neighborhood, to marrying well. As her attempts are each, in turn, squandered, Lila’s pent-up rage punctures the immersive realism of Ferrante’s prose—a copper pot explodes, a wedding portrait bursts into flames. The first novel concludes with a description of her wedding as chilling as it is mesmerizing. In The Story of a New Name, sixteen-year-old Lila has become the Jackie Kennedy of the stradone, impeccably stylish, but with large sunglasses concealing her bruises. Meanwhile, Elena escapes by winning a scholarship to a university in Pisa and publishing her first book—a novel inspired, in part, by a childhood effort of Lila’s.

Out this month, the hugely anticipated third novel in the series, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay (Europa), seamlessly translated by Ann Goldstein, is set in the late sixties and seventies; the two girls are now young women, and the Red Brigades and feminism are shaking up the old ways. Jealousies have accumulated like shifting layers of silt, though a fierce attachment remains: Elena, living comfortably in Florence with her professor husband, returns to Naples to come to the aid of Lila, who is swept up in a leftist movement with the fearlessness of one who has little left to lose. But in an elegant reversal Ferrante makes as psychologically sound as it is dramatic, we soon realize that it is Elena who’s in a kind of jeopardy: She’s intellectually stifled, unable to write, and burdened with an easily threatened, Casaubon-like pedant for a husband.

“Writing this novel didn’t take me back; rather, it affirmed the idea that it’s impossible to escape our origins,” says Ferrante, who grew up in Naples in a home with very few books. She was twelve when she started writing fiction (while Ferrante won’t confirm her age, her fictional counterpart would now be in her early 70s). “My desk mate, with whom I had a great friendship, suggested we write a novel together,” she explains. Together, they came up with a story, and the friend wrote the first chapter. Ferrante didn’t like it, and so she wrote the entire story herself, from beginning to end, telling her friend she wasn’t up to the project. “From that moment, the passion to write never left. Yet for me the passion to write never coincided with the desire to become a writer. The passion was by its nature private.”

At sixteen, Ferrante found herself captivated by Ippolito Nievo’s Confessions of an Italian and, most influentially, Elsa Morante’s House of Liars. “There I discovered what literature can be. That novel multiplied my ambitions, but it also weighed on me, paralyzing me.” It took many years for Ferrante to outgrow the anxiety of influence, but she never stopped writing in secret. She published her first novel, Troubling Love, in Italy in 1991, and is now one of the country’s most acclaimed—and elusive—novelists. “Today, writing, for me, is above all a battle to avoid lying,” she says. “If it seems to me not that I’ve won but that I’ve fought with all my strength, I decide to publish.”

To preserve her expressive freedom, Ferrante, interviewed here via email correspondence, keeps her identity private, a choice that has only added to her mystique. Since 2005, when her scalding breakout novel, Days of Abandonment, landed on American shores, her name, assumed or not, has become like a secret handshake, the audacious humor and devastating candor of her voice—extraordinary not because the (largely feminine) experiences it describes are unusual but precisely because they aren’t—already finding echoes in the work of authors like Claire Messud and Jenny Offill. Her six books available in English speak to any woman who has ever felt haunted by a thwarted mother, been humiliated by a husband or boyfriend, or clung tenuously to a life of the mind while caring for young children. With the Neapolitan novels, the scale of which took the author by surprise, that voice has found its burnish: Ferrante has authored a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman that captures not only the forging of a self but the salvaging of it.

One of this masterwork’s most resonant passages comes late in the third novel, when the fictional Elena, struggling to find her way back on the page, imagines what it would be like if Lila hadn’t been denied an education: “We would have written together, we would have been authors together, we would have drawn power from each other, we would have fought shoulder to shoulder, because what was ours was inimitably ours.” How many women, writing in the dark, have wished for relief from their isolation? When a light source finally does arrive, it’s not in the form of Lila, but a figure from their shared past. To find out what happens next, impatient readers will have to wait for 2015, when the fourth and final Neapolitan novel is due out.

“The most difficult achievement is the capacity to see oneself, to name oneself, to imagine oneself,” says Ferrante. “If in daily life we use ideologies, common sense, religion, even literature itself to disguise our experiences and make them presentable, in fiction it’s possible to sweep away all the veils—in fact, perhaps, it’s a duty.”

    AMAZING Blend!
    Review by ThisJesseIsREALon 11/21/13
    I love this flavor and currently its my favorite! Very nice blend of aromatics as well. I have just started my Volcanoe Ecig journey and am greatly appreciative! It really is helping me quit cigarettes. TY!
  • good flavor
    Review by Bobon 7/8/12
    Slightly thick and has a good flavor. The 2nd best flavor I've gotten from this site (behind menthol burst), and I've tried 5 so far.
  • My new favorite!
    Review by Stephanieon 7/6/12
    This flavor is really a work of art. Several reviewers said it tasted like coco puffs?? I don't get that at all. It tastes like delicious chocolate with hazelnut and I don't know what else. It smells good, it tastes good, it has a good throat hit, and good vapor production. It's a perfect all day vape because it's not too sweet or cloying. In a word it's PERFECT.
  • Simply Smooth!
    Review by Ninaon 6/29/12
    This flavor has definitely made my entire purchase of the lavatube kit a good buy. Aloha Apple was my first choice to try out my new lavatube; I was disappointed with my new experience. This flavor, however, has made me a believer. Excellent!
  • Good but...
    Review by Gibson 6/24/12
    Great flavor on this juice, but it seems to clog my tube tank after a couple days. Any suggestions for what to use this flavor in, would make for a great all day vape.
    Volcano-Menthol burst is great with any flavor...
  • Volcano's V-liquids,oh how they NEVER cease to amaze me
    Review by Mucky Pup's "Jr."on 6/18/12
    You simply MUST BUY this as it's to die for.Sweet and pure Choco-buttery-Bliss.2 days now & It just keeps getting better and better.Volcano,my favorite vendor out of many.Because..nobody does it better.Makes me proud to be an e-smoker(sniff sniff,I'm not crying,I just got something in my eyes).
  • Very good
    Review by Cullenon 5/27/12
    First flavor i got from Volcano and it's awesome. Definately my main vape. Good mix between chocolate vanilla and hazelnut. Now i'm just lookin for a few other flavors to vape every now and then
  • Love it
    Review by Joshon 5/10/12
    This is my #1 all day vape. The only bad thing about it is how fast I go through it. Can't put it down.
  • Choconilla Haze Sold Me On ALL Volcano Products
    Review by Candaceon 5/9/12
    Before I ever purchased any products from Volcano I had the opportunity to try the full flavor/16mg Choconilla Haze... I was instantly in love. It tastes like my favorite sweet winter drink: hot chocolate with marshmallows (the vanilla) & Frangelico liqueur. I now own a handful of Volcano juice flavors and this is by far my favorite. Thank you for creating this flavor!
