Pretty in pink! . . . . . @Regran_ed from @katiefro - Pretty in pink! Starting to transition my sister from a purple-magenta color melt to a more solid, deep red. This was our first session, evened out the color a bit to more of a pink/magenta. Next we will color her a deep red. . Used all @oyabeauty Wilds for this color. I found this flower crown at Five Below! I used to just go there for the candy but now I check their accessories section every time. I swear, somehow I end up spending way more money than I intend to when I walk in that store. . . . . #StudioTrio #HairByKatieFro #Lindenhurst #LindenhurstHair #LindenhurstHairSalons #LindenhurstHairstylist #LongIslandHairstylist #NYhairstylist #NYhair #LindenhurstVillage #PINKhair #HairColorInspo #HairBlogger #HairInfluencer #ShowMeYourVivids #PinkHairedGirls #LicensedToCreate #PinkHairDontCare #Pink #OYAbeauty #OYAwilds #PinkHairColor #FiveBelow #ColorfulHair #AuthenticHairArmy #StylistsSupportingStylists #1000orBust #DyedDollies #OwnYourArt #FlowerCrown (at Sidelines Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfzbDAlVCU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=109ot5iusnmxa
American Venice was the name of a 1920s real estate development in the then-bucolic village of Lindenhurst, New York on the south shore of Long Island.
“An ornate gazebo sat on an island in the middle of a laguna at the north end of a canal framed by striped mooring poles and gondolas imported from Italy. From their perch of towering columns, statues of winged lions invited passersby to come closer and explore, to saunter over arched Venetian bridges and past Italian-style villas. This was once the scene not in Venice, Italy, but in American Venice, a unique community created in the 1920s in Copiague, just off the Great South Bay.“ (1) [Note: it’s just east of Copiague, in Lindenhurst.]
In 1930 the development went bankrupt, although the neighborhood retained the name of Venetian Shores. From Montauk Highway, the main road that passes Venetian Shores, there would be no trace of the existence of American Venice if not for two statues of winged lions on columns which still stand sentinel almost a century later.
Thanks to a Caturday post at @detroitlib i have a new appreciation for these lions, having learned of their significance to city of Venice, Italy and its association with Saint Mark (Mark the Evangelist) of biblical renown.
“Mark the Evangelist, the author of the second gospel is symbolized by a lion – a figure of courage and monarchy. Some Christian legends refer to Saint Mark as "Saint Mark The Lionhearted". These legends say that he was thrown to the lions and the animals refused to attack or eat him. Instead the lions slept at his feet while he petted them. When the Romans saw this, they released him, impressed by this sight.” The city of Venice is reputed to be the location of his relics. (2)
Which brings us to the lions in the photos above. During my current visit to Long Island I passed through Lindenhurst, bemoaning the disappearance of its theater (now a CVS) and bowling alley (now an auto parts store). I was wondering what would disappear next as I neared the village line, spotting the Venetian Shores lions...I knew I had to photograph them while I still could.
Below my three photos of the lions (alas, into the sun) are images of three American Venice postcards from the Village of Lindenhurst website which says little else about the area except that there’s a park there now. The park is somewhere behind the unsightly Venice boatyard (two bottom photos) which now contains the lions.
Vestiges of an American Venice remain in (Lindenhurst, not Copiague)

Gaze at this beautuful sunset and FOLLOOW Katie Regrann from @katiefro - Inspired by some sunset hair, I created this color melt on my friend a few weeks ago! I used all @pulpriothair for this. I'm in love with the vibrancy through her ends. Absolutely stunning in the sunlight. . I hope all my friends had a great time at Camp Bisco this past weekend! If anyone rocked any cool braids, styles or make up over the weekend, share your photos with me. I'd love to see them! (And bless you because I am always a sweaty hot mess at festivals haha) . . . . #StudioTrio #HairByKatieFro #Lindenhurst #LindenhurstHair #LindenhurstHairSalons #LindenhurstHairstylist #LongIslandHairstylist #NYhairstylist #NYhair #LindenhurstVillage #HairColorInspo #HairBlogger #HairInfluencer #PulpRiot #PulpRiotHairColor #LicensedToCreate #PulpRiotRaven #OrangeHair #PinkHair #ColorMelt #RedHair #VividHair #ColorfulAF #HairGoals #PulpRiotNY #StylistShopConnect #StylistsSupportingStylists #BTCpics #ModernSalon #AuthenticHairArmy (at Nassau County, New York)
Looking for your pot of gold? FOLLOW this RAINBOW PINWHEEL to this week's featured Profile Artist Katie @katiefro @katiefro @katiefro . . . . . Regrann from @katiefro - RAINBOW PINWHEEL | YOU. GUYS. I am over the moon about what I created today! My guest always comes in after her vivids have faded mostly all the way out and always has a new idea for me. I literally NEVER know what to expect. This time she had 1 request...RAINBOW HAIR! I decided to go with a pinwheel placement because I felt like her hair would showcase the color great this way, and because I have been loving this technique! Which color (or colors) are your favorite? Mine is the yellow, green and blue combo 😍 I used every single OYA Wild color to create this! . . . . . #StudioTrio #HairByKatieFro #Lindenhurst #LindenhurstHair #LindenhurstHairSalons #LindenhurstHairstylist #LongIslandHairstylist #NYhairstylist #NYhair #LindenhurstVillage #HairColorInspo #HairBlogger #HairInfluencer #OYA #ShowMeYourVivids #LicensedToCreate #OYAbeauty #BlueHair #PinkHair #ColorMelt #RedHair #VividHair #ColorfulAF #HairGoals #RainbowHair #PinwheelHair #StylistsSupportingStylists #BTCpics #ModernSalon #AuthenticHairArmy (at Applebee's Grill + Bar)
I left Long Island this morning. Yesterday’s anticipated blizzard tracked to the west, with sleet and rain coming in from the east to make the day a slushy mess instead of a snowpacalypse. Expecting a major storm, virtually everyplace was closed--it was a boring day on the Island.
Today again I had breakfast in Lindenhurst and afterward tried for better photos at Venetian Shores, subject of this recent post. I had the bright idea to go down the street and photograph St Mark’s lion with the sun behind me--only to realize the lion was now facing away from me.
A canal comes in from Great South Bay and ends near the lions, and a street parallels the canal on either side. I drove down the streets and saw one of the old Venetian-style bridges as I rode over the other. I didn’t find the park I expected at the end of either street, but there was a nice view of the bay, especially with the interesting sky in the aftermath of the storm.
