Fashion Icon

Another legend who had passed on, and lived up to the famous saying, “do what you love and you will not have to work a day in your life” is hair stylist and fashion legend Vidal Sasson.

“Sassoon died at his home in Los Angeles surrounded by loved ones and his wife of 20 years, Ronnie, his family said in a statement. “He will be greatly missed,” they said.

The British stylist’s scissors spelt the end of the 1950s-era beehive and the bouffant – untouchable hairstyles that owed their existence to lacquer and hair pins – and brought him international fame and fortune.

Sassoon was dubbed a pioneer for coming up with so-called wash and wear looks – liberating many women from weekly salon trips to have their hair done.

But as much as he was a genius in the salon, Sassoon was a whizz in business. He began marketing his name, styles and cutting techniques in a worldwide line of beauty salons, hair-cutting schools and later, related lines of hair products.”

Mr. Sassoon made hair styling an art. Plus he introduced much simpler hair styles since the 1960′s. Also brought an art style to his fashion designs. RIP Vidal Sassoon.

More Than A Businessman, A Pioneer, A Giant (Steve Jobs)

Today, this morning, following last night the news announcement that co-founder of Apple Computers, Steve Jobs has passed on at the age of 56 from cancer and having his family by his side. While I did not know him on a personal level, because of the Apple Mac computer, I can do this blog article and all other blog articles.

When I first came upon the Apple computer and Steve Jobs by extension, it was when I was attending community college and coming after a bigtime struggle to learn back than with a DOS run PC program called Lotus. It was the middle 1990′s and also when I had decided to go from general studies to something a bit more creative, called graphic design/multimedia. It was at the time spring semester and it was through taking desktop publishing and with the wonderful help of a graphic design teacher now friend whom she introduced me to the JOY of Apple Mac computing. I had from that time onward, fallen in love with the Apple Mac computer and all things Apple.

Since I have had been battling learning challenges myself and because of Steve Jobs and his wonderful invention, I was able to graduate from community college. Also now I am able to blog and listen to my favorite music, and begin to rediscover art and graphic design as well as current events with animal rescue groups as well.

Mr. Jobs, I will miss you and your creative style. But you made a BIG DIFFERENCE in the world of computing and business. Thank-You for your achievements to not on I but to all who are fans of Apple products.

My prayers and condolences to your dear family and friends, as well as to my fellow Apple Mac supporters.

Goodbye, God Bless, Eternal Rest, Rest In Peace, Mr. Jobs.

Apple Computer INC, at its begining.

Goodbye, God Bless, Eternal Rest, Rest In Peace

Will Be Teaching Computer Classes In The Next Few Weeks

In the next couple of weeks I will be teaching computer classes over at Career Opportunities of InterCommunity Mental Health Services. I look forward to passing along what I do know about computers. Plus will be working with two other people. Subjects such as the basics of the internet, computer platforms and software programs will be covered. Will bring in my work experiences over at Manchester Community College. Had a special meeting today and was very pleased with program preparation. Looking forward to starting the classes.
