R.I.P Daul Kim

A legend, the beginning, the revolution, a goddess, inventive, inspirational, a muse, a lover, a friend, a daughter, and daring.

We love you Daul. Its so sad to see you gone so soon as it suddenly became the end of the beginning.

No Frizz

Living Labs (I abbrev.) has created this new product for specific types of hair to use science to combat the frizzy hair! They have straightening and curl definers for fine-medium, medium-thick, and thick-coarse hair. That's amazing, as its specifically for a certain persons type of hair. This is science at work to work with hair on a molecular level. They have shampoos, leave in conditioning, and reg, conditioners for all hair types!


You can go to their website or buy it at a local Sephora! :)

Its so amazing, even I use the leave in conditioner they have available.

the price range is $10-$24 dollars. Enjoy! :)

Bye bye john frieda, hello Labs' No Frizz!~

Charities Charities

It is just time for us all to look onto charity and give what we can, "It is fall", some may say, "so now I should give". We should give regardless.


Head on






If those are tough for a first timer, you give from afar on these sites:



From there you just click on the "Give" button. Its totally free. When you click, sponsors of the site and idea of the site pay for the procedures to help children. When you click once a day, it brings more doctors.

On the site after you click there, are five more tabs up top to click.

You help the fight against Breast Cancer, in which a woman will get a free mammogram, every time you click.

You could battle hunger, by clicking and about 1.1 cups of food will get to starving people.

You could help save the rainforest with just a click.

You can also help put books into children's hands.

And lastly, you could help the animal rescue effort.


So much could be done in a lifetime, but just one day to start and continue is the beauty of inner strength. <3


Im always on the look, luv.

ThrowBack Wednesday - Lenny Kravitz

Another new section, this first throwback friday is dedicated to Mister Kravitz. Lenny Kravitz is such a talented musician.

The highlighted favorite song of this Wednesday is "Again". Wonderful lyrics, a truly vivid and sexy video, and just a wonderful song in general.

In the video, there are sexual themes but no heavy, the director's work in this one is amazing. We see a handsome Kravitz in this one naked in one scene and muscle tee-shirts. The Beautiful Gina Gershon of course being has he appears to know nothing about her in this video and doesnt feel a connection towards her. And THE Teresa Lourenco, my fellow Carribean native :). Plus Galliano's favorite model!



Song leaves you wondering about chances and how that one person that you have true chemistry and feelings for..will you ever see them again?

Polyvore - Your Very Own Internet Inspiration

This is nothing new but I felt the need to recognize it. This site is so amazing for when I want to put together an outfit and share with others my essential style. Seasonal Looks that anyone can copy and put a twist on.


Its ultimately the internet fashion closet with over millions and trillions of clothing, accessories, shoes, and other wearables, which send a message that everyone has a flair and could create that look without being judged.


www.polyvore.com - Check it out, its the place to go make outfits for important functions, just to be fun, or whenever your bored and need a good activity.

Dream the Dream - Chloe "Andy" Satchel

I am so loving the simplicity and ability to go with any outfit. You could dress it up with a laid back style or make it with a biker chic influence or classical lady style.

This is what we call the Chloe "Andy" Satchel. Ever since it first came out, I truly felt a connection to this bag, the zip detail and the way it can expand. Very durable and truly worth the price. Original Price: $1,595 Sold out but around at Barneys CO-OP and other various small stores.

Getting my own Satchel, very very soon. <3

Im always on the look, luv.

NY Anime Festival - General Sights and Visions

I know i am pretty late but tests and practices came up in school, so I had to focus, but other than that, i am back for sure.

The Anime Festival on Saturday was AMAZING. Ill post images as soon as I find my cord connecting the camera to the comp.

So much cosplay, it was not even funny. Even people and familiar faces I know from NYCC '08 and '09 were there. Haha, even MTV MADE was holding Auditions. So you might see my story on tv about trying to make it in the world of backstabbing, networking, success, and beauty. It was pretty funny to do though.

Then the Maids, I did not really care for much this year but had the usual of keeping the audience in the backstage entertained.

The World Championship Gaming Tournament was there, it was pretty exciting ,in which there was a free gaming spot, which I tried to play, but was denied! Grrrr, magical folk united against me. Haha, the team tournaments were funny in Counter Strike, hehe, whenever one would win everyone would cheer loudly and get up and a do a little victory dance. It was cute. :)

I myself wore an Ichigo Bankai Mask with normal skinny jeans, black tee and black sweater attire. On Sunday, I wore the same mask but Tenchi Muyo t-shirt and Ichi the Killer inspired pants. Haha, what a conflict of interests!

I got my first time Press Badge, yay! So this blog is the corresponding outlet, to all that happened during that weekend. Well except the Friday.
I got quite a few interviews, met with people, discussed all kinds of stuff like Lolita Wear to talking Solty Rei dolls!

The Panels were amazing, especially the Japan Society 25 minutes of Introduction to the Japanese Language. I learned alot. (Uso - lie) Yay, Im learning!~

The screening were good, the theme mainly of the festival was Soul Eater! I have not gotten around to watching a full episode but have heard the main introduction by my favorite singer, Takanori Nishikawa - TMR! Woohoot~ Resonance, its an song, though the video was not extravagant like his others.

Hehe, everything there had to be bought, it is not like Comic con with free shit palooza, free stuff were like pens, stickers, and this Venom Energy Drinks. Which I got 3 bottles, hehe. :D Now that explains why I was soo hyper that day.


After we saw most of all things, we walked down to Mcdonalds, were it was another palooza, All Anime Attendees were getting cheap food at Mcdonalds too. Lots more colors, fake eye pieces, and weirded out Mcdonalds Staff. Hehe, when I went to the bathroom. Some lady walked in and said, " Whats going on why there are so many teens and adults all dressed in those garbs...?" The cleaning duty lady said," Some Anime Festival shit thats on for the whole damn weekend". I guess some one does not like their job!

Afterwards, we explored some more, sat in the corner started giving some free hugs and then left to go to Duet 35 Karaoke! There was sorta getting some business too. :)

I can proudly say, I sang my heart out!!


Ill post more details of my Interview with the creator of the 1st ever! Anime Board Game called "Collateral Damage". An Employee with the World of Gaming Tournament, an Artist Alley Artist named Jessica L. and founder of Otakusocialnetwork.com !'

Stay Tuned, Love you guys!

Paying Homage 9/11

I know this has nothing to do with the blog, but i believe I have to pay homage to teh 9/11/2001 attacks that happened 8 years ago. Families are still in despair, some have gotten over it, some have not made it as they have hit a road block.

So If your in the city today, stop by the World Trade Center Area and check out the 2 long streams of buring light where the towers once stood, as they were apart of our NYC as we know it.


To all the victims and families, I feel for you on this day. Just keep looking up, if you look down, you may falter.


Ja ne,

Its 8:30AM - 2:00 pm, so bring the family and comfortable shoes and come join the long haul!

Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire - Just found out (dont kill me)

Okay, so im getting back into this news business. :O When I look, I see there is a new Naruto movie out in Japan, released around August 1, 2009. The name of the movie is: Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire.

Released Synopsis: The film concerns the potential outbreak of a Fourth Great Shinobi World War when ninja with Kekkei Genkai abilities begin to disappear from Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure. As the only village unscathed, Konohagakure is believed to be behind the incident, and rumors circulate that they are preparing a rebellion. With the other nations amassing troops at the Land of Fire's borders, threatening invasion, the Fire Daimyo orders Tsunade to apprehend those responsible and prove Konoha's innocence; in the event of failure, the Land of Fire will be forced to destroy the village in order to preserve world peace.

The true culprit and main antagonist of the film, Hiruko, is a missing-nin and former friend of the Sannin that disappeared from Konohagakure dozens of years earlier, after developing Chimera Technique, a jutsu which allows him to absorb both the chakra and Kekkei Genkai of other ninja. Based in Mount Shami with his followers, Ichi, Ni, and San, Hiruko uses a genjutsu to project himself in the skies above Konoha, announcing that he will obtain the Kekkei Genkai of the Land of Fire and become immortal and invincible, then instigate the Fourth Great Shinobi World War and conquer the world. With Hiruko intending to use the power of the solar eclipse to carry out this plan, a race to defeat him begins as the moment of the eclipse draws near.

Sounds really good. Seems to me that more and more former allies and all really crave power and will destroy people they once knew or for their whole lives for a moment of power and the will to do anything. Sounds like a certain raven haired, onyx eyed former konoha shinobi.

This is an interesting enough plot, well, I can't wait to see it! But I also gotta watch Bonds but, I havent had enough time.

A Voyage into Shenmue III *Under Construction*

It seems as it may as well still be on because Sega is currently having a trend of reviving games as well as franchises. The Shenmue franchise which started in 1999,still isnt over. Evidence includes the shenmue website which is still up and in recent interviews which is trying to work on it.

Our beloved Shenmue, with his smooth talking voice and way of asking soooo sooo many questions may be back with us soon. Meaning More and more quick time events, fabulous new graphics since we reached the new age! The long lasting questions that arises from the ending of Shenmue II and what was the relationship between him and the biker girl. Hehe, we may know later on, but lets keep up hope now, ya hear?


Yu Suzuki, we love you please help us keep the dreams alive of this never-ending story! You my sir have an art for games and an eye for greatness.

Game Review - WET

The main character in this game named Rubi is voiced by no other than, Game and Action vixen Eliza Dushku. Who is my favorite girl since her Bring It On days, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Faith days, and Tru Calling days.


The character can do all sorts of slides and stunts while on the walls, the ground, and in the air. She can do flips and shoot at the same time. This reminds me of a Lara Croft aerobatics but better graphics and paying homage to the video game vixen of her time. Rubi also uses a sword and can move very fast to slash and run on the walls and slash at the same time. Also when Rubi's face gets covered in blood, she goes into murder rampage mode and destroys all in sight! The graphic is in a noir style with bold edgy colors. She can also shoot two enemies at once. Awesome!


But beware, there are some quick time events displayed in this game. I know you guys remember quick time in Shenmue. Haha, I remember the first time I saw QTE was the Shenmue series, and boy did I get angry and not play it for a while, until I calmed down and beat the second Shenmue! (STILL WAITING FOR THE THIRD ONE GUYS!)
Too bad that this game isnt out yet. September 15, 2009 in North America. September 18, 2009 in Europe. Just weeks away. Sorry old console users, as you know by now, its coming out the newer generation systems Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Though I played the demo for Xbox 360, I prefer Playstation 3 version. More crisp.

Thats it for now.

Ja ne, K~

Closer Look - Yui Makino

You all may know already that she is a guest of honor at the upcoming New York Anime Festival and has a free concert on Saturday Night possibly in the IGN theater (if its still called that), but lets take a closer look into Ms. Yui Makino.

Singer, seiyu, actress, pianist, and talent. All of these ideas describe Yui Makino. She started the study of piano at a young age of four. Shunji Iwai discovered her and she played musical pieces in three of his films. That is what I call amazing talent. She has come a long way then going to voice over work such as the Heroine "Sakura" in Tsubasa Chronicle (which is an awesome anime and manga) in its entirety. She was also in Sora Kake Girl as Honoka Kawai! Also her other work includes: Welcome to the N.H.K. as Misaki! Her two albums in all sold about 10,000-11,000 copies each! And get this, Yui is only 23 years of age! If she has done this much in 23 years, imagine how much more she can do with about 20 years more, if she continues on this amazing path, that she has carved.

Quite Frankly, I applaud you Ms. Yui Makino, hopefully I can get a autograph at this Anime Festival and give my readers a nice treat~

Ja ne, K.

New September 1, 2009

This means, almost to 2010, leaving been the 00s.

This means new developments.
People Growing Older.
Ideas getting newer.

=0 New bonds (Disney - Marvel)

Upcoming Events in September:
= New York Anime Festival
= Wizards Con
= Brooklyn- New York Book Festival
= New Yorker Festival
= New York Fashion Week

isnt anyone excited?!

The September Issue - Vogue

Im sure you all know how big the September Issue of Vogue is. The biggest issue introducing fall and all of the ads from every designer house and new upcoming designers. We see all juicy details into the lives of models (nee: The true issue was May 2009 for all those details and who gave them their starts.)



There is also the Vogue Documentary named "The September Issue" which goes behind the scenes and has commentary on everything surrounding this fabulous month's issue and how big it is to be seen or heard about in it.

Once again Anna, you've done it!~

Cosplay Thoughts anyone?

The past two years I have been to New york Comic Con and Next. I have been sorta of cosplaying but for the New York Anime Festival in 25 days and counting, I wanna go all out, in good outfits this time. The past outfits were mediocre and well were kinda too big for me, seeing as im a girl!

So my Possible Choices are:

Vampire Knight- Day Class Yuuki, Night Class Uniform (general)

7th Hokage- Naruto

Naruto - Kiba Inozuka (1st series- not shippuuden)

Naruto - Hinata Hyuuga (Shippuuden)

Naruto - Anbu Uniform (including mask)

Final Fantasy - Tifa Lockhart

Final Fantasy - Aerith

Royalty Loli Cosplay

The Warriors (nee 1970s)- Ajax

Hmm, Disney acquantances and leasions

There was speculation in the past, but now we seee it come true. Disney Enterprises, the capital of tween nation and baby town, has decided to purchase...(get this).. Comic Book Powerhouse MARVEL!


For 4 billion dollars in cash and stocks. Amazing right? Now all marvel produced shows are to come onto Disney Channel. Who knows if in this parallel universe, they ought to be altered.

But then again, this will be mean X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 and Spiderman 4, will be in Disney's hands.

Im still in quite a shock, but not really!
Stay Tuned for more info guys.

2009 Fashion Week Fall Lay-up

As you all know fashion week is in full bloom in about 2-3 weeks. All designers, interns, models and celebs are gearing up for pressure, backstage agony and drama, and in the words of Tim Gunn ["Just making it work"]. There is a chance for those in college to be volunteers to help run the week long event smoothly, but applications were back in June of 2009 this summer. Well I for one, am excited to see whats in store for Spring 2010 as thats only just a season away and I wanted to fantasize about the hems, trims, and fantasy of spring coming up and bear with those images until the damn-ridden Winter passes us up, like Greek Salad for Campbell's Chicken Soup. Im in the process of getting my invite as I know its just weeks away but some sorta mishap occurred. Hey, once you know a friend being a freelance beauty & makeup artist, anything is possible.


For all of you, who cant be here, just check the site at http://www.mbfashionweek.com/newyork/ , and you could see a few pieces of the new collections upcoming after the designer's show has been seen and gone through the wind!

Hair Glue Bandit

Okay, this is some crazy crap some dude, still at large and hasnt been caught, has been going around targeting women who are shopping just to put some sabotage on their hair by putting glue on it.


Im just speechless, lol. Shit is funny.

Sherri Shepherd -- Bikini! :D

On The View this morning, a video was shown showing Sherri's amazing journey, quite remarkable and humourous, in her sweat, coy, and tears moments of getting healthier and fighting into a bikini, more like a one piece. It was said she tried on 300 suits varying at Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord and Taylor, and Bloomingdales. But settled on a one-piece. And boy does she look gorgegous! Exception of the Bikini Wax part, which looked terribly painful!! haha.

Great Job Sherri, it shows goals can be reached. Maybe I should work a little harder and make the right choices.

(ill release photos later!)


Luv ya, all. --Ka

Hackers, Hackers, Hackers

It is reported at about 9:00 am in which Twitter and Facebook also other social networking sites have been hacked, i repeat, HAVE BEEN HACKED INTO due to a hacker war going on right now. People are saying they feel bare without having access to talk to anyone or feel their privacy is being evaded.

Stay Tuned on EyeWitness News Channel 7 Today, for more of the developing story.
Tune into CNN as well.

Twitter and these sites have been hit by denial of service attack. Co-founder of Twitter, Mr. Biz Stone, is shocked.

We are all shocked but get on with your lives. Its probably some nerds or guys who feel they must do this because they are bored or probably trying to prove something.

Who knows, who cares. Just get the site back up and running so i dont have to hear moping going on around me about people saying " I cant twitter about what time my dental appointment is!" waaahhh!" Who the hell cares! <3


Luv ya, all. -Ka

Lucille Roberts ---YAY!

I joined the Lucille Roberts family last week in now i can go unlimited days and hours, and gyms too. I got the 1 Year Gold Membership!

Good machines, Nice Training Classes of Toning & Stretch & Aerobics! Treadmills, Bikes, Ellipticals, and old machinery which you must use your manual power~ Its a nice challenge and im ready to get fit.

Not only is it for women but by a woman! :D

Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest 2009

Well, im BACK from the Hot Dog eating contest down by Coney Island which was packed! Luckily, I got an insider from the press to let me in their booth to get a good view! Boy was it amazing. A rapper was there first, then they were giving away t-shirts, people cheering like crazy, guys shirtless (^_^), girls some in bathsuits ( :]), Some people on the rooftops across the street!


There were lots of cannoli, guacamole, pie, hot dog, pudding and other various food champions but two stood out.

6 time Champion from Japan, Takeru Kobayashi, Who is my future husband, well in my dreams! I LOVE YOU KOBAYASHI!!!!!!! <;

Joey Chestnut = 68 hot dogs.
Takeru Kobayashi = 64 hot dogs.

And...Joey Chestnut, three time champion now, since he won today!



Personally, I congratulate Joey, but I prefer my Takeru anyday! You'll get em next year Kobayashi!

(P.S. Pictures will be put up later when i find the camera cord!!!!)

Are we ready for the end?

I mean we have our full lives ahead of us I believe but there is this theory surrounding about OH THE CALENDAR of the Mayans end in 2012. But that would mean 3 years from now and I know we dont want it to happen. Ive seen many blokes nowadays try to pass a "petition" to stop the world from ending, it must mean they are either high or trying too hard. I want to know what do you guys believe!~ Our voices should be heard~


BTW, This maybe off topic but this is my friggin blog! Gossip Girl started filming again. This being my guilty pleasure. If anyone needs to know about filming locations and your in the city of NYC, go to onlocationvacation.com , and search around Daily Filming Locations.

Ill admit this is a guilty pleasure but im a bit excited without world-weary!

A Rising Star: Gone so soon.

With the death of Farrah Fawcett, our favorite Charlie's Angel from the old tv series and various roles. We learn of our Michael.


Michael was truly a visionary whom had alot to offer to the world. He gave it to us and wanted to come back next month in sold-out concerts in Europe, England specifically. But he couldnt do that. He was a rising star that fell too soon.

Michael your the only King of Pop and Prince of Motown :D


You can never be replaced, never forgetten, but always cherished. Thank you so much Michael. You led a life with hardship but you overcome it with joy, so Rest in Peace, darling you deserve it. <3

Thank you, my love.

TopShop and Bicycles!~

This Saturday June 20th, starting at noon! Head down to the British invasion known as Topshop/ Topman on Broadway in Soho bordering Chinatown/Little Italy and they are free to rent out bicycles for a ride! Try them on the road, run people down, but do it safely. Wear your best biking outfit and hang on tight.

O la la~ The Filthy Youth

So, if anyone has seen the show Gossip Girl, of course I have, I found out a new band that i like their music, its on myspace, through an actor on Gossip Girl himself. I know many may know who this is.




YUP! Its Ed Westwick, or otherwise known on Gossip Girl as "Chuck", the smooth sly dude, who seems to be a womanizer with rich aspects but is misunderstood.






He is the lead singer of The Filthy Youth. When I went on Myspace and search them up, i found out that he is the vocals. When I heard the first song, im like wow, then the rest and im hooked on it. Its like mix of The Cure, Velvet Underground, and Modest Mouse. (Well for me, i believe this is how it is!!!)


I cant wait til they have an actual album out but you can score some of their gear online, just go to their myspace website. Especially hear their two songs "Boy Dont Smoke" and "Pirate". Im planning on getting an awesome shirt that says "Im a Filthy Youth". =] OR something like that. <3


Toodles.

All of the boys and the girls in paris.... - Ladyhawke

Oh yesh, I was watching some Music video show which mostly features my favorite genre being indie, smooth rock, jazz, and dance music. Then I saw the video for Ladyhawke- "Paris is Burning", and i was blown away because its sooo catchy!~~ Plus this isnt even the first time ive heard it. It has been a hot song for the Paris Fashion Week and London Fashion Week runways. Chanel 2008 and Topshop 2008 runaway show featured this song! Plus I learned that her debut album was released last year, so I went down the music store and picked up a copy and now its like my favorite album. Another good song of our New Zealander Ladyhawke is "My Delirium" <3




I have a feeling she will be around a while with us. :] Plus it is known she has Asperger's Syndrome like other great singers such as Gary Numan, its what makes them unique and great musician. [=

Sakura Matsuri Festival 2009

For all who doesnt know what the hell Sakura Matsu fest. is, well its a time of year when the Sakura trees bloom and tell many different stories. Bonzai plants can tell us stories as well. This all happened at Brooklyn Botanical Garden on both Saturday and Sunday!~ Too bad i couldnt go to the Saturday one because J-pop star Ai Kawashima was performing her mini concert at the end on the Cherry Esplanade Stage!~
I went on Sunday were there was Japanese Folk Music on these long flutes were being performed. A lot of cosplay went on. Inside the conversatory, there were loads of plants and Bonzai plants in a special room with an ancient wishing well. (Pictures to come later. It was seriously great. I got to get authentic souveniers, meet interesting people, learn more about this fantastic culture, and it inspired me to work harder. Thus, im happy to announce that i will start sketching new designs and ideas again. My artist/ drawing block is over, due to this amazing experience.~ There may have been other Sakura FEstivals over the world but this one, is by the most amazing and inspirational! <3


Good Days, Good Times.

Designer Collaborations and TOPSHOP OPENS!~

There was the lovely and splendid Alexander McQueen for Target, which I own a few pieces from, which came out in March and is very well ending a few weeks! (;[ a good era is going soon)






Even tough its not too collaborated, TopShop finally opened its doors Last Week! There was a week long launch party, Kate Moss was there! And among the party was Taylor Momsen, Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez, and Marc Anthony!~ Wow it was star studded!~ They got to preview the store, enjoy club soda, after party afterwards, and free grab bag stuff!~ This was the big event since Gucci opened up on 5th Avenue and Giorgio Armani opened up 2 months ago up in 5th Avenue!~ (P.S. = Im going to TOPSHOP TOMORROW~! So ill post pictures and tell all of you non-New Yorkers or New Yorkers at heart, what the inside of a mega-million hotspot shop looks like!~) Lets just hope that it doesnt fall victim to the economy like our fellow Russian Princess of Fashion Kira Plastinina, whom had all North American shops except one in Los Angeles, close up due to the economy. Poor Plastinin, at least she has over a million shops in Russia and surrounding Asian nations to keep her fashion dreams alive.








Future:


Fear not, Roberto Cavalli lovers, even if Cavalli (Yay that Just Cavalli got picked up again by his financial investors!) isnt in H&M again, we finally have MW soon!

Matthew Williamson for H&M summer collection is coming May 14th!~~ Finally we can rejoice!
Target will be having Rogan Gregory and Scott Hahn's collection of Organic cotton fiber clothing, LOOMSTATE, being affordable is coming back again and is GREEN this time baby <3!>
With all of these dates in mind, mark your calenders ladies because Spring and Summer, Schools almost over is in gear and we love a good time, fashion and shopping time that is.
Open for business and being recession-proof!,
Love ya, Kaye Beet. <3

Oooo! Did Miley really do that?

In the latest issue of Teen Vogue, the May 2009 edition with pop princess Miley Cyrus on the cover, in her interview, it seems she said and i quote "I'm not a huge Rob Pattinson fan. Girls aren't really in love with Rob, they're in love with Edward". But hey she really cant say it because she finally admitted that Justin is her boyfriend. Did we also know that they live together? Where is the parentals? I heard her father is trying to be strict but Miley and her mother are the ruling forces. Her quote seriously attacked Robert Pattinson himself, girls could obviously like him for him!~ She doesnt know that all the guys that could possibly like her, could only love her for being Hanna Montana, her "Alter ego". Love ya Miley, be careful of what you say.....it could be argued with anytime.... <3

Not in Slight Moderations

As we have all seen such magazines as Teen Vogue, Seventeen, Marie Claire, Vogue, and Nylon, which have lovely cover models ranging from Models, TV Starts, Reality Personalities, Singers, and normal Starlets. The real question is we are presented with these girls and sometimes cover guys which we must look up to and the thing i dont get is when are we to see girls who have volunteered for their communities, took up harder working jobs without glamour, or have jobs that save lives or requires tremendous hours of work. I agree that starlets have to wake up early and work hard for their millions of dollars but what i dont understand is how come normal life-saving or jobs that handle millions of people's minds (Being educators) is lowly paid for. I believe the hype, and America's demand for more of the glamour, entertainment, and living "The American Dream" is what contributes peoples hard earned money to be given to people, some of which are younger than them! For example, starlets like Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, Sophia Bush, and Selena Gomez, whom are big stars (I love them all!) They are great but the money they earn isnt equally shared among "real" jobs such as being firefighters, doctors, engineers, pharmacists, teachers, professors, and accountants are underpaid. Thank goodness nowadays for disasters that such jobs as Biotechnology and going "green" are finally underway! Specializations in jobs such as Cardiologists are paid "450,000" a year, while a movie star is 3,000,000 perhaps a salary per movie!?

Can you , anyone, explain this diffrentiation to me?

Economy on Our Fashion..or....Fashion on Economy

It turns out that our classical favorite designer shows are getting ready to show their resort collection line in a few weeks. Chanel will be definetely showing (Great going Lagerfeld!) in Lido Beach on the Excelsior in Venice, Italy. It will be the only full-scale show going on strong Unfortunately, Christian Dior and counterpart J.G. (John Galliano) will not being showing this year's resort collection, has it has been canceled. Gucci is affected as well in which in previous shows it has shown in Both Rome, Italia and New York, New York....But for this year, its only New York in June it will show.

~~~Wow~~~. We have to be saved because if fashion can suffer from this, it can get ugly.

Day 2: The need to be free

"You must do well.
You must succeed.
You need to end up with someone better than yourself.
You need to marry into riches.
Take these classes instead of those.
Im your parent and you will obey me.
You need to get straight As.
You need many after schools activities." - As said by others.



Day 2: Free.

Ever heard that being said to you. By someone close to you.

The thing to do is take a deep breath, before you have a serious breakdown, as do all of us get. But you'll feel the need to have one more often.

Just remember that you need to be free.
Do what you like.
Have your own plan for your life.
Just have a backup plan just in case doing what you love doesnt work out, but you can do the 2nd thing you love.
Make sure, you do the things you do for yourself.
Its your life and your dreams you are living.
Not the parents or guardians, but YOU!
YOU YOU YOU! Yourself!
Live, Laugh, Love.
Be Healthy, Prosperity.
Peace.
Feel good.

The Good Olds, Ol' Gods.

Remember the awesomeness of the mid to late 90s and early 00s, when mtv wasnt such a reality tv show and corny fake show channel! Where omgsh, a bisexual gal wants to find love with a guy or a girl, but then in the end she chose a damn guy! Now that says alot. Then the Double Shot comes back with Twins?! What madness have we gotten ourselves into. We went from funny satirical awesome shows and videos, to video vixiens (video hores) and reality (fake) shows that follows around rich teenagers and 20 years olds. Ha!~~!~!~!~!~!~

When shows like Daria , Beavis and Butt-head, Ren and Stimpy, Cartoon Sushi, Celebrity Deathmatch, Oddities, Rocko's Modern Life, and Totally Paully!~

Psshhhtt, yeah!~ Now these are some kick-ashe shows.

Now dont even get me started on the way Nickelodeon and Disney has seriously changed, in which it sucks.

We gotta thank writers with creative minds like Mike Judge, who wrote the Texan favorite "King of the Hill" and "Beavis and Butt-head".

Daria ( i believe I know a real-life Daria!!~~)

Beavis and Butt-head

Rocko's Modern Life

Ren & Stimpy

YAY~

Elizabeth and James S/S 2009 Collection / Alexander Wang F/W 2009

We all can clearly see the fashions inspired by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, whom are risk-takers and clearly sometimes dress so lovely abstract and ahead of all of us! This line of Elizabeth and James, name is inspired by Family, it is supposed to be sportswear, which some of it is but it is sooo fierce, lovely, and chic at the same time! In a way, the Alexander Wang F/W 2009 collections are some what similar, well except for the lovely biker shorts used as a canvas starting tool in some of the pieces which were just rockin'! I like the way both uses neutrals such as whites and blacks to be worn so naturally everyday (maybe?) without being labeled dark names! You dont necessarily have to have black and whites but the colors, the fabrics, and the intricate design elements are to die for!

The only difference is Elizabeth and James is a little bit more feminine with a few masculine touches. While Alexander Wang is about a fierce girl, who doesnt care what anyone thinks because she knows she is strong and looks good. She is still a girl too. :D No obstacle will stand in her path.
