BUCK (AVAILABLE ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO) Dear equine lovers, this one is for you. This 2011 documentary tells the story of Buck Brannaman, more famously known as “The Horse Whisperer.” And yes, Robert Redford makes several appearances and MAN, does he hold up whew! Buck grew up as a child performer of rodeo rope tricks who was horrifyingly abused by his violent and angry father. But like all good documentaries the journey twists and turns and Buck grows into one of the most successful and innovative horseman in the world. Learning from his painful past, Buck teaches horse training clinics 9 months out of the year that teach extreme gentleness and sensitivity instead of the “breaking a Bronco” approach.FUN FACT:…

The Bermuda Triangle of Concealer

Beauty, Tory Shulman News , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
"I AM NOT A CLOWN" MONDAY I spend a lot of time thinking and contemplating make-up concealers. (note: I know this makes me sound like a huge asshole) But it's because the art of applying good concealer is actually similar to an artistic technique that has always fascinated me: "Tromp L'oeil" otherwise known without the sassy French accent as Trick of the Eye. "Trompe-l'œil is an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that depicted objects exist in three dimensions. Forced perspective is a comparable illusion in architecture." (Just FYI I am citing Wikipedia here UNLIKE someone we know...I'm looking at you Rand Paul) Below is a terrifying example of Tromp L'Oeil. Why is his face…

  Note to readers--all photographs were taken by my Iphone of my television while I stood in Pajamas. Not bad, right?     1) LYDIA'S OUTFIT     Vince Gilligan famously plays a lot with color in Breaking Bad. (Think of the names Walter WHITE and Jesse PINKMAN).

9 Tattoos I Dig and Why

Tory Shulman News , , , , , , ,
  Since I began training in Buddhism, I've wanted to get this tattoo. Well, actually it's two tattoos. I've wanted the word "Slow" written on one foot and the word "Down" written on the other. Every time I looked at my feet, I would be reminded of this valuable lesson. Ya see, I tend to move fast--like Star Trek Warp Speed fast and moving too fast has caused me to make many mistakes. I believe wholeheartedly in the adage: "There is more to life than increasing it's speed." I haven't gotten the tat since I think my mom and boyfriend would kill me and I am chicken shit and think it would hurt like hell on the feet. But, in…
