"I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie World....!"

I'm just gonna say it. This world has gone from natural to plastic! We are living in a materialistic world full of "Barbies". Yes, real life, talking and walking pieces of fake asses with fake hair, nails, lips, nose and boobs. If you don't agree, then that is not my problem.

I remember my first plastic doll....hmm such a long time ago but this memory stuck in my mind and made itself comfortable to stay for good lol. It was the Christmas of '98, I was 7 years old and I knew what I was going to get! Finally my very own Barbie! As I unwrapped my gift, starry eyed, I admired and dribbled all over the box with the plastic thing in it. "Wow.... she is sooo pretty! I wish I'd look like her when I grow up" was my initial thought at that moment. Nothing has changed in the world we're living in today. Grown women (and this time I will emphasize the word "GROWN") around the world STILL want to look like Barbie and strive hard to emulate this plastic shit.

Is this what the world has gone to? People constantly going under the knife, changing and reinventing themselves because they are simply not satisfied with their looks? Deforming their faces, thinking, "Hey I'll look even hotter if I get another nose job for the 5th time!" Or "Ugh my DD boobs aren't big enough because I can still see my toes when I bend over." You get the drift.

                                           oh hell, even Barbie's not happy with her plasticky good looks..


I have nothing, I mean NOTHING against minor plastic surgery that can improve the way a person feels about him/herself. If it is necessary, then freakin go for it, but if it's starting to become an addiction and it is starting to transform your once perfectly normal appearance into something totally unrecognizable or even worse..like Barbie (LOL!), then please, for the love of chocolate, STOP!

Beauty should not be measured by the amount of makeup a woman has on her face or the amount of plastic surgery done to "improve" the way she looks, but rather the natural beauty she exhibits without looking like she's been rolled around orange mud and has been viciously attacked by a permanent marker around the eyes. I love seeing women just looking fabulous with less makeup on.  It gives me hope that there are still sane and thinking females (although as rare as they might be) roaming around the face of the earth feeling good about themselves without the need to look like Barbie.

We are all created differently, and I am sure that there is a reason for that. We ALL have flaws (not just you!)  which makes us human, we all have our own little insecurities that we can learn to love, and we are all just us which makes every single person unique in their own way. So forget about Barbie, we're not a bunch of 7 year old kids anymore!

To Inject or not to Inject? The Biggest Question of the 21st Century..

Okay so as we all know, that in this day and age, the general population of Hollywood has been injecting their faces like manic drug users with this thing called, Botox. What  is botox you may ask? Well according to the ever so informative website, Wikipedia, "Botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and is known to be extremely neurotoxic." Okay so in that sentence you might have noticed the words, "toxin" and "neurotoxic", which means that botox is harmful and poisonous to the nerves and nerve cells of your body and face. This process can destroy the nerve cells which can lead to numbness of the part of the body being injected. So, I still don't get why people would inject this botox poison into their face and lips just to look well, ridiculous really. 

So I did a bit of research (although I didn't need to look too far and wide) and I found a couple of actresses sporting the famous "frozen look" caused by botox:

Nicole Kidman

Kylie Minogue 

                                    

The Famous Cat Lady

I don't know about you guys, but their facial expressions don't look human-like-normal at all. Botox can lead to serious nerve damages and bad side effects. But for all I know, it'll be nasty. The Cat Lady sure looks happy. Or maybe not? I really can't tell, can you?

Botox is a personal choice, but if I were you, I wouldn't even think about it. And to those who have started injecting poison to who knows where, stop before you get hooked!

Lipstick Hunt!

So.. I just got home from the shops and tried on this new lipstick I bought with my last money of the week.... and tah-dah! It sucks. Grrrrrr! I'm so annoyed right now. I blame the shop for not having any testers available for the customers. Poor. Well that was my initial reaction anyways. I must admit I was careless for buying it without testing it first.

This is the lipstick I bought in a yuck color that doesn't even suit me. Haha it made my lips look a bluish-purply color. Eww so unflattering. It probably would suit someone with a fairer complexion, rather than mine, which is a warm brown tone.

Maybelline NY #405 Yummy Plummy

Yeah, I don't know why I'm blogging about this, but it just shows that you should not buy  makeup that you are not 100% sure about - or don't even know the actual color of. Lesson learned for today :)

So here I am, still in search of the perfect lipstick color..who knew it could be this complicated?

Stay tuned for more updates!

Low Riding. Not our Future.

You know what I'm talking about.. I'm sure most of us have seen this "style" before (well, I for one was not sure whether to use the word "style" or not, because for me, it ain't stylish at all!) - Low jeans down to the knees, boxers/briefs/thank god no bare cheeks exposed in full view. Like WTF?? Seriously guys!?!

If you think that people would treat you seriously when you dress like this, then forget about it.

These people need fashion therapy to make them realize how ugly this type of style is.

The Fashion Police would definitely not be happy at all. It should be banned.

So, I just thought maybe I should look at the PROs and CONs of this style of clothing and see what I get....

CONs:

• it makes it hard for guys to look normal while walking, because a) they're trying so hard for their jeans not to fall on the ground by opening their legs slightly more spread out than normal whilst trying to walk, and  b) they look like constipated penguins.
• they look unfashionable, tacky, stupid, and try hard-ish.

PROs:

• I cudn't think of any.

My advice is, if this is because your jeans/pants/shorts are too big for you or too loose then maybe you should go get a belt.

I think I've made my point.

They're all just Labels.

When I think about fashion, the designer labels do not appeal to me as much more than the ordinary shops "we" people shop in. For me, fashion is not who you are wearing but it is how you wear it. Like for example, when I watch MTV and see these rap music videos with pimps and hoes wearing all labelled clothing from head to toe, its starting to look kinda cliche to me.

I am not a big fan of designer clothing because, one, I can't afford it haha and two, why bother when you can buy the same style cheaper which then leaves you more money to spend on shopping = more clothes & shoes.

So what if you're wearing Louis Vuitton? or D&G? You are not automatically considered as fashionable. At the end of the day, you are wearing something that looks good and makes you feel good no matter what shop you got it from. That's my spiel. Haha. Goodnight :)

How many leopards died for that um..tracksuit? lol. Who cares?   It's D&G. Poofters.
