Mazda's timeless roadster, the MX-5 Miata, turns 25
First-generation Mazda Miata. Photo by Craig Fitzgerald.
Twenty-five years ago, a back-to-basics two-seat lightweight convertible sports car debuted at the Chicago Auto Show. With a small front-mounted engine powering the rear wheels and the essence of a European roadster, it could have come from any British carmaker, except for the fact that it came from Mazda. And in the quarter-century since then, the Miata has shown the motoring world how successful a minimalist sports car can be.
The idea of a compact, modestly powered roadster did not originate with the MX-5 or even Mazda. A body style nearly as old as the automobile itself, roadsters (traditionally defined as an open-top car with a temporary roof and removable side curtains, not roll-up windows, which really makes the Miata a convertible) were a common sight on U.S. roads though the early 1980s. As the decade came to a close, however, cars like the MGB, the Triumph TR7, the Fiat Spider, and the Lotus Elan were becoming less and less common on used car dealer lots. As for new lightweight roadsters, the Alfa Romeo Spider was one of the very few options available to new car buyers in 1988.
The original MX-5 Miata, or NA in Mazda-speak, borrowed heavily from the styling of the Lotus Elan, without being a direct copy. The Elan was a benchmark in the car's suspension tuning as well, as were other lightweight sports roadsters like the Triumph Spitfire and the Alfa Romeo Spider. With the MX-5, Mazda was attempting to achieve "jinba ittai," a Japanese concept that translates to "horse and rider as one," a near-perfect way to describe how a well-built sports car should make a driver feel on a winding road.

Though official work on the MX-5 didn't begin until 1986, the car's roots can be traced back to 1976, when then-journalist (and later, Mazda employee) Bob Hall met with Mazda Research and Development employee Kenichi Yamamoto. When asked what kind of car Mazda should build in the future, Hall pointed out that the once-popular British roadster, simple in design and blessed with modest power and superior handling, had all but vanished from the American landscape. Five years later, Hall, by that time a Mazda employee, revisited this conversation with Yamamoto, then the chairman of Mazda Motors. In 1982, approval was given to research the idea, and over the next four years the automaker produced several lightweight sports roadster concepts before approving the final design in January of 1986. Its official debut took place on February 9, 1989, and it instantly racked up praise from journalists, consumers and rival automakers alike.
When the MX-5 Miata hit U.S. dealerships in May of 1989, it was powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produced a modest 116 horsepower and 100 pound-feet of torque. Thanks to a curb weight of just 2,116 pounds and a close-ratio five-speed manual transmission, the MX-5 could run from 0-60 MPH in under nine seconds, making it more than quick enough to be entertaining. As Hall himself once explained, "If you can't go fast on 90 horsepower, 900 horsepower probably won't help you."
Thanks to the car's light weight, double wishbone suspension in front and rear and four-wheel disc brakes (with vented front rotors), handling was superb, even in stock form. Praise from reviewers poured in before the car even hit dealerships, creating a consumer demand that drove prices far higher than Mazda's suggested $13,800 retail price. Perhaps because of the car's low base price, consumers didn't seem to mind, and demand for the new two-seater outstripped supply until well into the car's second year on the U.S. market.

Those who've driven first-generation Miatas can attest to the car's abilities, as well as its charm. Handling is sublime, and the chassis is forgiving of all but the most ham-handed mistakes behind the wheel. Throws of the short-throw shifter are precise and direct, but for buyers unskilled at working three pedals, Mazda offered the first-generation Miata with an optional four-speed automatic transmission as well. The tri-fold top can easily be dropped or raised by the driver with a single hand, and its vinyl rear window can be opened with a zipper for added ventilation on top-up drives. The 1.6-liter engine, aside from a crankshaft issue with early examples, has proven to be nearly bulletproof, as long as the owner carries out the prescribed maintenance. A testament to both the car's robustness and its capabilities is an oft-quoted statistic from Mazda: On any given weekend, there are more Mazda MX-5s being raced than any other single model on the planet.
In the 25 years since the MX-5 Miata's debut, Mazda has launched a second generation (sold from 1998 until 2005) and a third generation (which went on sale in 2005), but all have stayed true to Mazda's initial concept of a simple, lightweight and affordable sports car. The various generations have appeared on Car and Driver's "10 Best" list 14 times, and the Guinness Book of World Records recognizes the Miata as the "Best-Selling Two-Seater Sports Car" in the world, with more than 920,000 examples delivered through December of 2013.
As for the name "Miata," its origin has traditionally been shrouded in a bit of mystery. Some say that it was based on Siata, the Italian sports car, while others insist the name was computer-generated, as is the case with other Japanese automobiles (such as the Toyota Camry). The best explanation, however, comes from Leon Dixon, a Mazda North America (MANA)
Mazda Motors of America (MMA) employee who contributed to the design of the original and second-generation MX-5s (and also wrote much of the Miata owner's manual). Per Dixon, Mazda Motor of America (MMA) marketing employee Rod Bymaster came up with the name "Miata," which is said to be a derivation of the Old High German word for "reward."
A new version of the Miata is due for 2015, and word is that Mazda will also use the platform to underpin the next Alfa Romeo Spider, which will wear entirely unique bodywork and carry a different, Fiat-Chrysler sourced engine. The Miata, then, has really come full circle in 25 years, to the point where it will now be supporting a legendary model that was once an essential part of its development.
Happy birthday, Mazda Miata, and here's to 25 more.
Author's note: Special thanks to Leon Dixon for his contributions to (and fact-checking of) this article.
UPDATE: Mazda also launched a 25th anniversary site for the Miata.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1952 Crosley Super Sports
The Braje high-performance parts installed on the engine are a good giveaway that while this 1952 Crosley Super Sports for sale on Hemmings.com looks stock on the outside, it's benefited from some upgrades during its restoration. Not too many – a "big-block" 59-cu.in. Homelite Bearcat engine and a Fiat four-speed synchromesh transmission – not enough to take away from the character of the car, but enough to make it a little easier to drive. From the seller's description:
This is a delightful 1952 Crosley Super Sports with a complete frame-off restoration. The Super Sports model was produced from 1951-1952 by Crosley Motors in Marion, Indiana. The Super Sports was similar to the Hotshot model except it had doors. 358 of the Super Sports model were produced in 1952, the last year of car production by Crosley Motors. The car was painted to replicate the original Canto Cream color along with red interior. The trim, hood ornament, bumpers, lights, wheels and covers, windshield and the soft top were finished to their original appearance. The engine was manufactured by Homelite Corporation, who acquired rights to the Crosley engine design in 1961 for use in boat outboard motors. Homelite increased the displacement to 59 CI with a 10:1 compression ratio, enabling a rated 55 HP at 5,500 rpm. The engine is equipped with performance parts from Braje Speed Equipment – Gardena, CA (intake manifold, exhaust manifold, valve and side covers and oil pan). The transmission has been upgraded to a Fiat 4-speed synchromesh from the 1960's. The original Crosley transmission was 3-speed, non-synchromesh, which was challenging for most drivers. The car has the original Bendix drum brakes, which were adopted by Crosley in 1950 to replace disc brakes which suffered from winter corrosion. This car has a way of upstaging the big cars at the car shows.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1934 Ford DeLuxe roadster
All too often, hunting down a classic car is an exercise in frustration. Cars billed as "clean" tend to be anything but in real life, and some sellers believe that a "recent restoration" is one performed during or just after the Nixon administration. Occasionally, a car catches your eye that appears to be every bit as good as described (from the photos posted online, anyway), and that looks to be the case with this 1934 Ford Deluxe roadster for sale on Hemmings.com. It's got the requisite flathead V-8, which should produce in the area of 85 horsepower, as well as the new-for-1934 V-8 grille badge and running greyhound radiator cap. Its chrome gleams, its paint appears to be flawless and even the upholstery appears to be in pristine condition. The current owner claims a record of first place car show wins (although the specific shows aren't listed), and we have no reason to doubt his statement based upon the apparent condition of the car. From the seller's description:
Blue ribbon quality restoration top to bottom, Show shape in every way, Every showing of the car has resulted in a 1st place award, Runs and drives excellent, Beautiful blue paint job, Spotless interior and engine compartment, Chrome is show quality, Bright wide whitewalls, Glove compartment radio.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1971 Morgan Plus 8
This 1971 Morgan Plus 8 for sale on Hemmings.com was first shown at the 1971 Earls Court Motorcar Show before being imported into the United States aboard the luxury liner Queen Elizabeth 2. Its first owner was Anatoly "Toly" Arutunoff, who raced with the likes of Dan Gurney, Phil Hill, Carroll Shelby and Bob Bondurant, and once competed in the 1975 Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (though not in the Morgan). As if the car's history weren't enticing enough, it features a significant number of upgrades and has accumulated just 52,000 miles over its 42-year life. From the seller's description:
Always garaged. I have owned it for 10 years and have driven it everywhere.
Very Quick. Modified from Stock. Moss Box (4 Speed) in very good shape. Lumenition Electronic Ignition.

Garage-find Lancia Aurelia sells for $803,000
Photos courtesy Gooding and Company.
While barn finds and other unrestored vehicles have become exceedingly popular in recent years, it's hard to imagine that the dusty, dinged-up and deteriorated would ever eclipse their fully restored counterparts in price, yet that's just what happened this past weekend when Gooding auctioned off a 1956 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider America for $803,000.
Of course, it not only helps to start with a desirable car – Lancia built just 240 of the technologically advanced B24 Spider Americas in the mid-1950s, only 181 of which were left-hand drive – but also for the car to have had just one owner in its 56-plus years. According to Gooding's account of the Lancia, Oakland, California, resident John Jang bought it in the summer of 1956 from British Motor Car Distributors on Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco, trading in a 1953 Porsche 356 Cabriolet toward the $5,600 purchase price of the Lancia, serial number B24S 1123. Over the next seven years, as Jang met his wife and started a family, Jang put just 28,000 miles on the Lancia, driving it no farther than Los Angeles; in 1963, he put the then-new yellow-on-black California license plates on it, parked it in his garage, and left it untouched for the next 49 years.
Gooding, in its description of the B24S 1123, noted that the Lancia remained rather complete (the headlamp trim rings were in the trunk, along with its original Plexiglas side windows, tools, jack, and spare) and that the 125hp 2,451cc V-6 engine turned over freely. Against a pre-auction estimate of $400,000 to $450,000, it then proceeded to bid up to a hammer price of $730,000; with a 10 percent buyer's premium, the total sale price came to $803,000. Compare that to the restored 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider America (serial number B24S 1166) that sold at RM's Monaco auction last year for €425,600, or about $550,000.
While an impressive price, the Lancia failed to crack into the top 10 sales from Gooding's Scottsdale auction. Those sales include the top sale of the weekend from any auction house, a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider, which sold for $8,250,000; a 1959 Porsche RSK, which sold for $3,135,000; a 1957 Maserati 150 GT Spider, which sold for $3,080,000; a 1935 Mercedes Benz 500K Cabriolet A, which sold for $2,750,000; a 1933 Duesenberg Model J Disappearing-Top, which sold for $2,695,000; a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Coupe Speciale, which sold for $2,365,000; a 1938 Bugatti Type 57C Atalante, which sold for $2,035,000; a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, which sold for $1,540,000; a 2003 Ferrari Enzo, which sold for $1,485,000; a 1995 Ferrari F50, which sold for $1,375,000; and a 1932 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Series V Gran Sport, which sold for $1,375,000.
On the other end of the scale, a 1969 Porsche 911 2.0 T, which sold for $51,700; a 1932 Ford Model 18 V-8 Deluxe Roadster, which sold for $51,700; a 1967 Alfa Romeo 1600 Duetto Spider, which sold for $50,600; a 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, which sold for $49,500; a 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Half-Ton Pickup, which sold for $47,300; a 1967 Saab 95 Wagon, which sold for $40,700; a 1960 Autobianchi Bianchina Trasformabile, which sold for $40,700; a 1957 MG A 1500 Roadster, which sold for $39,600; a 1967 Simca 1000 Coupe, which sold for $28,600; and a 1927 Ford Model T Roadster Pickup, which sold for $26,400.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1962 MG Midget
While it used the same basic body shell, the later versions of the Midget seemed a little less jolly than the earlier versions, what with their roll-up windows and radios and gloveboxes. On the other hand, later versions used a larger engine that gave the little car a little more power to avoid lumbering lorries. The owner of this 1962 MG Midget for sale on Hemmings.com thus did the sensible thing and restored a Mark I Midget roadster with a later 1,275cc engine. From the seller's description:
Early MK I Midget, front drum brakes! This is a CA car stripped to bare metal and repainted. No sheetmetal was replaced during the restoration. Engine upgraded to 1,275cc (original was 948cc). She runs and drives very well, like a go-cart!
This was a 10-year restoration that was never finished. Medical issues forced the older gentleman I bought it from to sell. I finished the assembly of the car. Having owned a couple of these in the past made it an easy assembly.
Original color of the car was black, but it was red when the PO bought it. So, he restored it the same color. 1,275cc engine, 12v w/alternator, reduction gear starter, Facet fuel pump, ignitor ignition, new side curtains, new tonneau, rare center locking hubcaps, correct whitewall tires, the list goes on…everything new or rebuilt.
Issues: odometer not working, but trip is; a couple runs in the clearcoat, and dirt specks in the paint. Needs color sand to be mint. 1st gear makes a growl, as all the rib case gearboxes do; at least all the Midgets I have driven have all had noisy 1st gears. Other than that, gearbox shifts very nice, wiper motor not working, got hot when I hooked it up, so I unplugged it.

Upcoming: 1992-2002 Dodge Viper Buyer's guide
Exterior photos courtesy Dodge. Interior and engine photos courtesy RM Auctions.
new machine on deck for 2013, this American performance icon seemed a natural for the December issue.Showcasing a 1990s-vintage car on the cover of Hemmings Motor News is rare, but with the original Viper passing the two-decade mark and a
As the oft-told story of the Viper's creation goes, in 1988, Bob Lutz, then president of Chrysler, was driving his 1985 MK IV Autokraft Cobra and decided that the Dodge lineup could use just such a bare-bones hot rod/sports car. As preposterous as it seemed, it was do-able, and Lutz found willing accomplices in Chrysler design chief Tom Gale and head of engineering, Francois Castaing.
The heart of this beast would be loosely based on Chrysler's LA engine line – essentially a 360 with a couple of cylinders grafted on. A few of the front-end components were snatched out of the Dodge Dakota's parts bins, and the car was further simplified by making it completely devoid of anything that wasn't absolutely necessary: no roof, no side windows, no outside door handles, no air conditioning. This was an all-business car, simple as a shotgun, and powerful – which would appeal to macho American performance-car enthusiasts. But its no-frills design also made it practical for Dodge to build and sell.
The Viper concept made a huge splash at the Detroit auto show in 1989, making its production all but certain. But interestingly, one of the Viper's early defining moments came at the 1991 Indianapolis 500. The original plan was to use a Mitsubishi-built Dodge Stealth to pace the 500, but this had American motorsports enthusiasts, as well as the United Auto Workers union, howling. So, a pre-production Viper was substituted at the last minute, with the car's spiritual forebear Carroll Shelby (fresh from a 1990 heart replacement!) at the wheel. The Viper was exciting enough, but the minor controversy only added to its animal magnetism. Lutz's inclusion of Shelby in the Viper project as an adviser was a stroke of genius, as well. The Viper was intended to be the modern interpretation of the Cobra, so who better to help sell it to Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca and the faithful, hungry for another performance car icon, than Ol' Shel himself?
Today, the Viper needs no introduction from Lutz, the late Mr. Shelby or anyone. After a hiatus, it's being reintroduced for 2013 as the SRT (no Dodge in the name) Viper.
As a collectible, the Viper is a shoe-in. It hit showrooms with a built-in fan base, and the ranks continue to swell. Though produced in low volume, there are always many to choose from for sale in the pages of Hemmings, with prices ranging from the cost of a new mid-size sedan up to six figures.
An interesting note about the Viper V-10 engine: The Viper concept car's V-10 actually was built by joining a couple of (shortened) iron 360 blocks together. Roush Racing is said to have performed the surgery. However, the production 8-liter V-10 shared nothing with the LA series V-8s nor did it share any parts with the truck V-10. It was heavily influenced by engineers at Lamborghini, which was a Chrysler holding at the time of the Viper's development. The Viper V-10 uses a deep-skirt aluminum block with a heavy-duty main bearing girdle, a forged steel crankshaft, cast-iron cylinder liners, forged aluminum pistons, roller lifters, aluminum cylinder heads magnesium valve covers, fuel injection and a distributorless ignition. The bore and stroke of the original engine was 4 inches by 3.88 inches, and the compression ratio was 9.1:1.
In 1996, the R/T 10 convertible's engine was upped to 415 horsepower and the GTS rolled out with 450. Dodge seriously upped the ante in 2003 when it increased the V-10's size to 8.3 liters and its horsepower rating to 500.
Our Buyer's Guide on the first-generation Dodge Viper will appear in the December 2012 issue of Hemmings Motor News, on newsstands and in subscriber mailboxes now.

The 101 newly certified teachers brings the state's total number of teachers with national certification to 783, ranking it 18th nationally.
Of the teachers who were certified in 2010, 11 were from Milwaukee Public Schools. Overall, that school district has 62 teachers with national certification, more than any other school system in the state.
Other Milwaukee area school districts that had at least one teacher achieve national certification in 2010 were: Cedarburg, Hamilton Kettle Moraine, Mequon-Thiensville, Nicolet, Oconomowoc, Shorewood, South Milwaukee, Wauwatosa and West Bend.
Teachers certified by NBPTS have to go through a process that typically lasts between one and three years and demonstrate advanced teaching knowledge, skills and practice.

Kenny Begins (2009)
Kenny Begins (2009)
Critic Consensus: No consensus yet.
Movie Info
With a premise that recalls Dean Parisot's 1999 Galaxy Quest, the goofy Swedish-language sci-fi farce Kenny Begins concerns the Galaxy Hero Academy, where students train to qualify as space adventurers-cum-heroes. Into this environment marches Kenny Starfighter (Johan Rheborg) an individual so utterly inept that he qualifies as hopeless and causes an endless array of complications.

Audience Reviews for Kenny Begins
Swedish sci-fi comedies are about as rare as polar bears in Sahara. And whenever my country does make them, they're usually very mediocre. I wish I could say this was an exception, but sadly it ends up in the same pile. Johan Rheborg's acting is great as always, but the movie just completely misses the mark as it comes to the humor. Not a single joke or gag made me laugh (or even chuckle for that matter), and I began wondering if the scriptwriters had really seen the original show at all. Because from what I can remember, it was a lot more fun and entertaining than this was. At least the spirit of the series is intact on the visual level though. It's fun how it mixes B-movie props with high quality special effects. But a movie needs more than just neat visuals, and without a soul, everything just falls flat. So as much as I hate saying it, this was a real disappointment. Worth a rent for the nostalgia, but nowhere near as good as the TV show.

SIA Flashback – The Creative Customs of Frank Kurtis
Frank Kurtis is a perennial favorite here on the Hemmings Blog – we've gone looking for his shops in and around L.A., we've seen the car he designed that Paul Omohundro built, and we've seen his Tangiers car, the topic of a very recent SIA Flashback. Now we see an article from SIA #58, August 1980, in which author Richard Kelley recounts some of Kurtis's lesser-known pre-war customs.

Awesome story! Thanks for posting this
The Broadcasting Van is great. Since it´s very unlikely that the two cars survived the times, it would be cool to rebuilt them. At least in miniature form. ; )

Noah Cyrus
Noah Cyrus is the younger sister of Miley Cyrus. She clearly wants to follow in the famous footsteps of her siblings, as Noah has starred...
Trace Cyrus: Kicked Out of a Restaurant Because of His Tattoos?!
Despite his own musical ventures, Trace Cyrus remains best-known as the older brother of Miley Cyrus.
But there's more to the 26-year-old than just being a member of the Cyrus clan. He dated fellow Z-lister Brenda Song (Andrew Garfield's girlfriend in the Social Network), and he's freaking covered in tattoos:
Happy National Sibling Day: Hey, Brother... and Sisters!
Happy National Sibling Day, brothers and sisters around the world!
This holiday, which apparently really does exist, serves as a precursor to the more balleyhooed Mother's Day and Father's Day, each of which will take place over the next couple months.
Noah Cyrus Plays Dead for PETA: See the Graphic Ad!
Miley Cyrus has taught her little sister well.
The singer - who is never afraid to speak her mind on controversial topics such as Indiana's new religious freedom law - has apparently passed the provocative baton to young Noah Cyrus, as evidenced by the 15-year old's new PETA campaign poster.
Miley Cyrus Pimps Out Noah Cyrus, #tigolbitties
Just when we thought the relationship between Miley Cyrus and Noah Cyrus couldn't get any more unusual...
The young singer took to Instagram this week and once again made an odd reference to her sister, the same sister Miley previously said was in charge of her vagina.
MIley Cyrus: Noah Is In Charge of My Vagina!
We didn't think it was possible, but the relationship between Noah and Miley Cyrus just got weirder.
First, we found out that Noah and Miley share a bed. Then came word that Miley and Noah were hitting clubs together while on tour. (Noah is 14, by the way.)
Noah Cyrus Has Tattoos?! Miley's Little Sister Shows Off Ink on Instagram!
Noah Cyrus has been engaging in some seriously questionable behavior lately, but her latest age-inappropriate shenanigans may be her most shocking yet
Sure, Miley and Noah hit a nightclub together last week. (Noah is 14, by the way.) And judging by the elder sister's Instagram page, Noah and Miley share a bed.

For the record, we have no idea what's going on in the following photos.
We don't know what they are for or where they will end up or why Miley Cyrus is wearing a bathing suit while posing alongside her 14-year old sister in a catsuit.

I love this mascara, in the waterproof formulation. I only ever use waterproof mascaras. I've been using this for about a couple years now, and while I am occassionally tempted into buying other mascaras (Maybelline One by One, Loreal Voluminous Million Lashes, Maybelline The Falsies, etc) I always go back and get another tube of this mascara.
I will note that the first few uses of the tube can be a little wet in formulation, and easy to get too much product onto the lashes so it clumps, but after a week or so it gets a little more dry and then is fantastic to work with. This isn't a mascara to layer over once it has dried though, otherwise you get the fibers sticking to the other fibers and it clumps. I apply until I'm happy with it, let it set, and then my lashes stay curled and lengthened and full looking ALL DAY/NIGHT. I have really long, hard to curl lashes, but this keeps them up and curled until I take it off. I've never had problems with flaking. I like the brush, it does a good job of grabbing lashes from the base without smudging all over the lash line, and it separates and emphasizes every natural lash.
Can't say enough about this product, it's only $8, it's waterproof (tested! Can swim and no running/flaking, but you do lose some curl. Not really affected by crying at all), the brush is easy to use, lasts a long time, and I get asked if I'm wearing false lashes all the time!

THE GOOD: One of the more dramatic drugstore formulas, very dark smokey look. The brush is fairly early to look, doesn't really clump.
THE BAD: The brush is very long, so it makes it kind of awkward while applying the formula at times. It is a rather skinny brush though so it makes it easier to reach the smaller lashes near the front of my eye.
THE UGLY: Unfortunately this mascara makes my lashes lose its curl :/ Any dramatic flair it adds gets nullified if my eyelashes are drooping, not cool! Also the formula smudges under my eyes a bit
Definitely not a rebuy

To start with, I don't care for the gaudy packaging or the lengthy wand. I also think the brush is a bit unwieldy, but could get used to it with practice. More importantly, I do not care for the clumpiness of this formula, or how dry and flaky it is. It flakes into my eyes and irritates them. I also think that its price point (~$11) is a little high for drugstore mascara considering the results - I could get better quality from Maybelline Great Lash for a fraction of price. This is one of the most frustrating formulas I've tried in years.

Horrible fiber mascara! It's extremely clumpy. I love Japanese fiber mascaras so I thought I'd try this out- but this one does not compare. Packaging looks nice, but once you open the package, it feels cheap. The wand feels cheap as well. Can't wait to use this all up- not repurchasing ever again.

This mascara is actually pretty nice. My sister bought it for me as a present and I like it a lot. The formula is more on the thick side and the brush has tons of bristles. The fibers have never fallen on my face too. It separates really well. But doesn't give much volume, just a little, and it does lengthen a little but not much. Also it make my lashes look more full which is a good thing. So basically what it does best is separates and thickens lashes. I like it.

I guess it goes to show that everyone finds different things to like in a product and to dislike in a product. I've only been using this for a week so far, but I'm really impressed. I have blond lashes that aren't particularly long or thick, and usually I really like Maybelline Full and Soft for a nice natural look. This could be my new HG for more dramatic lashes. I don't have a problem with clumping or flakes and many eye product leave me wiith dark under eyes at the end of the day. This one does not. When I look at my makeup after work, there's the usual foundation worn off, but my lashes were still dark and my undereyes were darker only because of the concealer wearing off, not because of flakes of mascara under my eyes. Woot!
It's not the easiest to remove mascara I've used, but it doesn't require scrubbing to come off, it just didn't come off with the initial wash, I needed to use my washcloth on my eyes. I like the original Voluminous too since its another one that rarely flakes on me, but I think this one is a more intense effect so will replace it. I also like the shiny tube and brush. It's strange, but this is one of the few makeup products I don't have any complaints about.

This is the worst mascara I've tried. Flakey, clumpy, and nasty. That's about all I can say about it and save your money!

Love love love this mascara. It lengthens nicely and does a great job with seperating. I find the price is high for a drugstore product but was lucky and got on sale for $7 at shoppers drugmart. I find the packaging is a little tacky looking though. But no biggy

This is probably the worst mascara I've ever used. I bought it because I thought it would be a cheaper alternative to the other fiber mascaras sold at Sephora. The brush is extremely awkward and makes it difficult to apply. The formula does nothing for my lashes except clump them up. The mascara smudges way too much and I look like a panda within hours of applying. I regret buying this mascara and should've just spent the extra money to buy the other fiber mascaras out there. I will never ever buy this mascara again.

PROS: It's thickening and somewhat lengthening.
CONS: Horribly awkward to use brush. Cannot tell you how much I hate the brush. Goopy formula. Huge tube that is very awkward to store in purse, etc.
ALTERNATES: The Falsies by Maybelline (then covered by Clarins Double Fix, to waterproof) or The Rocket by Maybelline (waterproof version) is wonderful for volume and lots of length. For lots of volume and good length, Covergirl Professional Washable Mascara, which stays on very well for nonwaterproof, OR The new Manga mascara by L'Oreal is fantastic for length and volume that lasts a long time without smudging; I'm kind of in love with it.
APPLICATION TIPS: I am a recent convert to using Shiseido's popular curler

Ray Rice's lawyer says the Baltimore Ravens running back "is sorry for what he did" and wants to move forward with his life in the wake of assault charges.
Rice pleaded not guilty Thursday to aggravated assault stemming from a February incident with his then-girlfriend in an Atlantic City casino elevator. He applied for New Jersey's pretrial intervention program, which allows first-time offenders to have charges against them dismissed upon meeting certain conditions.
If Rice is rejected for the program, prosecutors have offered a plea bargain that would spare him jail time if he participates in anger management counselling.
Security video obtained by TMZ Sports shows Rice removing the motionless body of Janay Palmer from the elevator. Palmer, who later married Rice, didn't comment as the two walked into the courthouse.

They're giving away random prizes, y'all better have some. (And maybe a book or three.)
#ARe #freestuff #freebooks
You better recognize. Zeus is one psycho mofo, and y'all know I love a crazy hero. Dude takes it to the next level. The scene with the head (no, not that kind, and ACTUAL HEAD) had me screaming laughing at three o'clock in the morning. Adding Shay Rucker to my list of authors I harass the hell out of. I'm needing her next book, right about now.
Not to mention your taste.
I've been getting ready for upcoming releases and thought the old blog could do with refreshing. What do y'all think of the new logo? Pretty spiffy, huh? How about the new catchphrase? Honey sweet romances with a sexy sting. Y'all better have some.
Someone asked me about the phrase "Y'all better have some." It's a black Southernism. It's an offering to share your food with someone else. I've always thought it was so cool and it typifies me and the type of books I like to write.

The New York Giants are heading to Kansas City with the most inexperienced offensive line in Tom Coughlin's tenure as coach.
Coughlin announced Friday that four-time Pro Bowl guard Chris Snee and center David Baas are listed as out for the game against the undefeated Chiefs (3-0) along with cornerback Corey Webster.
David Wilson will have a make shift line and I still feel he will go over a hundred yards. I feel if the G-Men use John Conner in the run game, Wilson will be fine. He will get a few long runs.Do you follow the NFL Draft? If so follow NFL Draft Diamonds on Twitter and Facebook for up to date NFL Draft News, NFL Draft Projections, and NFL Draft Rankings.

In this video, it shows us singing, "O Holy Night". This was during our special Christmas Sunday program at The Point Church in San Jose, CA. We also had a nice presentation of "A 2 Person Christmas Story", originally by Cindy Powell. It's a hilarious version of the classic Christmas story. Christmas Sunday is always a great time to bring friends and family. We later had a fantastic Christmas luncheon following right after the service. Hope everyone has a great Christmas and a happy new year!

It's no secret the Chicago Blackhawks have a knack for scouting and developing young talent. In fact, it is one of the prime reasons the Blackhawks have been one of the premiere franchises in the NHL for the past seven seasons. Due to this success, they continue to draft near the end of each round. Nevertheless, general manager Stan Bowman has managed to assemble an impressive system at nearly every position.
