Chair Massage

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

Today Mr Denney, instructor, director, and owner of Blue Cliff Career College, taught our newest class his chair routine. He also video taped it for the class to watch at later dates. A self proclaimed professional student, Richard fell in love with Massage Therapy. He set out to business conventions and made thousands of dollars in a couple of days armed with only his massage chair, this routine, and his license.

The Four Beauties

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

This weeks assignment in Cosmetology was a study of beauty. The class was divided up into teams and given different eras, the assignment was to research the definition of beauty in that time then on a mannequin demonstrate a hairstyle from that time.

The research and project that I enjoyed was the information provided by Shawdia, Linda, Delores, & Lauren about the Ancient Chinese.

Ten Criteria for Beauty in Ancient China

  1. Black Hair
  2. Hair loosely coiled to give appearance of height.
  3. Finely shaped eyebrows.
  4. Large bright expressive eyes.
  5. Red lips
  6. White teeth.
  7. Graceful arms & fingers
  8. Slender waist & fair skin.
  9. Tiny Feet
  10. Fragrant Body.

Then there is the story of the Four Great Beauties, who lived in four different dynasties, hundreds of years apart.

Xi Shi was so beautiful fish would forget to swim and sink away from the surface of the water.

Wang Zhaojun was so beautiful her appearance would cause birds to fall from flight.

Diaochan was so luminously lovely that the moon itself would shy away from embarrassment.

Yang Guifei had a face that put all the flowers to shame.
