Starving For Fame

I really don't like bringing this person up again because of hold old it has gotten, I'll admit it, but they just sparked something in me and I need to talk about it. So, once again I am bringing up VenusAngelic.

Please don't tell me that I'm trying to gain fame myself from talking about VA, I'm not trying to, I just write about anything that strikes me as interesting in my field of blogging, okay. Oh yeah, and I DO NOT hate VA so I don't wanna hear "stop hating on a young, innocent girl" or "she didn't do anything to you" and bla bla bla, I don't hate people I don't know, I just don't desire how she displays herself on the internet. This is not a trolly post, it's just my opinion on a subject.

So, what I wanted to talk about is VA's increasing hunger for fame. It seems like she's doing anything she can to gain more views and subs on Youtube. Well, not everything, but it just seems like she is displaying herself more to get more views. Of course, I don't know this person and I have no idea of her real intentions.

See her new videos:

Do you see what I mean? She is trying way too hard to be like a real, living doll to the point where she is compared to the looks of a sex doll. She's losing that smiley, excited expression and replacing it with a silent, emotionless stare. She's displaying her body in lolita outfits and strutting in short shorts with fishnet stockings. You are not going to sit there and tell me that perverts, pedophiles, and lolita fetishes are not being turned on by this. You're in denial for some reason if you say they aren't. That's what you have to expect when you post videos like that, anyhow. It's like she knows this and wants the attention and fame from it.

She is so young. I don't know how young, but she really should be careful by how she gets more views and subs. Displaying herself to people all over the world might have bad consequences and outcomes. But, who am I to say? But, it is common sense that when you display your body to people, in particular the people that aren't really sane or all that normal, you could end up with a stalker or pedophile on your hands.

I'm just stunned by how our generation is so into media, fame, and sex. That's what everything is about, it seems. Especially on the internet. It's quite sad how I see so many girls on the internet become pictures on a screen just displaying their looks for fame and attention when before it was their charisma, humour, and personality, along with looks that got them their fame.

I believe that girls don't need to display themselves for attention and fame. It's a waste of youth, in my opinion. In short, it's spending your youth entertaining and pleasing people you will never meet. You could be enjoying your youth while you have it instead of becoming a pedophile magnet. It's a shame really.

I hope you guys see things from my eyes and don't be afraid to share you opinions and comments on my view on this subject. ^_^

Spring/Summer 2012 Makeup Trends

This year, I absolutely love most of the makeup trends. Usually I hate a majority of the trends I see, but this year most are just my fancy.

Since the pictures below are of runway models, they have a lot more makeup on than anyone would wear everyday, so make variations so you don't go out looking overdone.

Pumped Up Pretty

Shiseido showmen made a doll-like, youthful look with lolita lashes, pink lips, coral cream blush, and hyper real skin; along with fake freckles for an innocent appearance.

Blue Peter Beauty

Mac makeup artists liked arts and crafts this season. They used gold leaf, clear glue, and black bandage tape to create embellished and edgy eye makeup. Their vision for this look was a 60's housewife that was teleported into the 90's.

Groupie Glamour

Maybelline and Mac makeup artist created a chic, morning-after-the-night -before, look. Thickly black lined eyes were a staple and keeping the eyes horizontal rather than slanted was also used a lot.

Ocean Colour Scene

Etro makeup artists used cool coloured eye shadows, and light, washed over hues to create a soft, Monet-like look. Mac eyeshadow were used in shades of azure, aqua, and pearl, while the face and lips were kept neutral.

Maxim's 100 Sexiest Women 2012

Yes, I do follow celebrities sometimes. When I hear about some of the most sexiest women voted by Maxim, I know I have to steal some style from them. So, I wanna show you my favourites out of the 100 that were voted. I'll also show you their 2012 styles so you can steal from the celebs. ^_^

p.s. these are just the winners that I liked the most, there is no specific order of my liking only the rank they came in for Maxim

Bar Refaeli

She was #1! I really didn't know about her, but I like her look! Natural, casual, and down-to-earth, but feminine at the same time.

Mila Kunis

I've always loved Mila and her style ever since her days in That 70's Show! She's really girly and sassy, it's cool.

Megan Fox

I always though Megan was pretty BA. She's not girly, but I don't know, like dark and mysterious looking.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

She didn't make the top ten, so old Maxim photo (Maxim only does articles on top ten and she was eleven). She made Maxim again! Yay! I've always loved Rosie's look, it's classy, girly, and really radiant. But, hey, have you noticed the celebrities are really dressing down that's... AWESOME!

☀OUCH☀

I got a sunburn!

Yeah, it hurts and i'm peeling! Wtf?! I put spf 50 sunscreen on. Huh, maybe it washed off in the pool. Oh yeah, and exfoliating and aloe does not work on sunburns unless you apply it constantly throughout the day, just sayin'. So, now I'm red and my makeup looks all peely and scaly, it's so gross.

But...

I CURED IT!

How???

NOT with aloe, you bum! I have come to the conclusion that aloe does not work for peeling sunburns. uh-huh, yep...

So... I took some honey and put it all over my face, left it on for 10 minutes and then washed it off with cold water. I did this about twice a day for about two days and it soothed the burn and peeled away a lot of the dead skin.

But, that wasn't enough, so throughout the day, I applied oatmeal cloth to my face. Yep, oatmeal cloth. I just took about 1 cup of oatmeal, wrapped it up in a washcloth, let it soak in a bowl of water for 15 minutes and then dabbed it on my face.

This still wasn't enough T_T and I was NOT going to let this sunburn get away with ruining my makeup routine, no no no NO! So I took milk and soaked a washcloth in it and the dabbed the milk-soaked washcloth on my face. I had heard that the enzymes in the milk naturally peel away dead skin, and it was not lying. Most of the peeling skin had gone away like magic, ya!

The last thing I did was make a moisturising sugar scrub. I just took a little sugar and some olive oil, mixed, and massaged it on my face and rinsed with cold water. Now my face feels a little raw, but I rather have a raw, red face than a peeling lizard face!

The thing I did the most is after each treatment and throughout the day I took a gel ice pack and gave myself a cold compress. It draws heat out of the burn making it go away faster. Plus, it feels nice and cold.

J-Mag Scans! 日本の雑誌のスキャン!

My blog has been so boring lately, I apologise T_T I'm sorry if you missed me... just kidding, no I'm not, heh. I've been clicking around looking for recent and good J-mag scans. And... I've found some! They'll totally be awesome and you know it. I'm going to use Google translate to write in Japanese on my J-Mag scan posts because they are popular with Japanese speaking people ^_^ so don't blame me for bad translation.

私のブログは最近退屈されており、私はあなたが私を逃したらごめんなさい謝る...ただ、冗談無し私は、あわやではない。私は最近、優れたJ-MAGスキャンを探して周りをクリックしてきました。と...私はいくつかのを見つけました！彼らは完全に素晴らしいだろうとあなたはそれを知っています。

The pictures are taken from these three magazines
