Inspiration: Megan Fox

They say most girls hate her, but I absolutely adore her! I love the sexy, tight fitting and classy dresses, as much as her casual outfits. More than the clothes, she's like my "body / sex appeal inspiration". I'm also a big fan of women with tattoos. It doesn't really matter what she's wearing (wait a minute boys, let me finish!) BECAUSE she just looks hot! Who won't want to go to the gym everyday in the hopes of looking this great?

Pre & Post 3.11.11 Japan

We've been seeing pictures and videos of the disaster that hit Japan last March 11 all over the news. Homes, farms, and buildings were destroyed by the quake. Those that remained standing were wiped out by the tsunami that followed. The death and missing toll is still rising, expected to hit around 13,000 in the coming days.

But sometimes one has to take "a step back" to understand better the loss the country and it's people is dealing with.

The New York Times lets us do this - in a different perspective. They posted interactive satellite photos of Japan, before and after the quake and tsunami hit the nation. You can really have a "higher" view of the damage, and the gravity of work to be done to get them back on their feet.
After seeing these images I became more sympathetic to the people affected by this tragedy. I know it's bad, but seeing before and after pictures made me realize how BAD it really is. When I remembered the videos and photos of the victims posted everywhere on line, I started picturing them in every house in the "before" pictures. Then, when I looked at the "after" images, my heart just sank.
We must do something about this. We must all believe that Japan will recover but with all the damage, they really need all the help they can get, FAST. For example, I just read that a couple of elderly people in the hospitals died as they were being transferred to a temporary shelter, a gymnasium to be specific, and a couple more died when they got there (link here). These people don't have enough water, food, electricity and heat. The doctors attending to them have limited or no access at all to medicine and the proper equipment. Immediate assistance is needed ASAP.

To speed up relief efforts, you may donate to Red Cross, or to any organization you want to raise relief funds to help Japan rise up from this.


Don't just pray for Japan. HELP THEM.

i whip my lash back and forth

eyelash fun!

by Paperself These are just so pretty, and I love the details!



by Shu Uemura  Brilliant... just brilliant. These are works of art, don't you agree?

Here are some crazy ones...


by Soomi Park Yes, LED eyelashes. Now, why didn't I think of that?
by frocknrollstylists "Alphalashes": Just in case you forget what comes after F.
These are gorgeous, but some are just way too expensive.  Browsing through the net, I bumped into a supplier: Pingdu Yi-Feng Eyelashes Factory from China offers a range of designs from natural ones to those you would only wear on Halloween. Although they are not as bold as the ones from the designers I featured here, they are pretty cheap. However, I'm not really recommending them as I was never a customer so not so sure about the quality. But if you had the chance to buy from them, feel free to comment and give your feedback. :)

Now... what's a good excuse to wear any of these to work tomorrow?
