Been gone too long...

One whole month of COMPLETE Disconnection .

My dear lappie died on me after 4 long years.

And once again, luxuries and conveniences like internet connection becomes such wonders .

For too long , I was lost. Deranged. Suffering withdrawal symptoms even.

Hmmm.

Now I am back. AND attacking with a vengence.

Be afraid.

ha ha.

Q

NU-di-ty

Notice how all the top brands and designers like D & G, C K , YSL and Tom Ford (below)are dressing their models in NOTHING.







Anyway, on the topic of NU-di-ty:

Would you appreciate a single Nude hottie....
(Designer indulgence b'cos Sex Sells or Porn; because it IS a multi-billion $ industry itself?)



Or A Sea of Nu-Di-Ty?
(Art! I prefer to call it Aaahhh-rt. )

When NU-dity is the NU Black.

Q

To Shine or not to Shine?

That's the million dollar Q !

I'm running short of time. Running short of choices. Need to make my desision soon.

To Shine or not to Shine...?

Think. Deliberate. Is it worth it? Will I put myself in limbo?

Head banger.

Shine?

Tyra Banks and 'SO WHAT?' campaign

Was watching the mocha-skinned , green-eyed Supermodel's Emmy-award winning talk show today, and the episode was on 'So What?' ..... it hails MAJOR Self-Esteem .

It's all about being satisfied, secure and happy with oneself. (Then again. one look at Tyra and it'll send most tumbling back into the closet beneath the stairs in self-withdrawal)

" You may not be the best, but you've given your best and the best you can be"... along those lines . (Don't quote here, it's all my OWN words , ok?)

Nowadays, 'less you've been orbiting around Earth for the last 5 years,
TYRA = SELF-ESTEEM QUEEN.

Yeash, totally. The message was as straight forward as can be and I was certainly enjoying myself watching the gorgoeus Tyra musing with her guests and audiences... not to mention the mob she created as a means to demonstrate to the Beverly Hills/Hollywood crowd "SO WHAT?"

SO WHAT: if you've got stretch marks (Jesus Christ!) , had plastic surgery (did that lady find it necessary to tell the whole world??), don't know what to say (over whelmed bimbo-alert.. but it's heartwarming ok?), not won American Idol ( Jennifer Hudson wannabe?) , has big teeth (seriously, that lil girl looked FINE; what she needs is therapy) , can't dance but wants to be a hip-hop babe ( now that white chick needs major skin tanning membership, pronto) ....

Yeash, the cleavage and mid-drift showing red tube tops provided sure helped to grab the attention too.

Especially when Miss Tyra was wearing one as well. :-)
(Oh she looked stunning! ... Yeah, indeed,. Call her fat and you CAN kiss MY A**)

I mean I wouldn't be half thrilled if it was Oprah wearing one though...


Hey, don't go all hatin on me yeash.... I mean... "SO WHAT?"

Because you can???

Have you ever wondered really hard ... just "How do they do it?" when you scan through someone's resume?

The awe-inspiring achievements and body of work; the glossy details;the kind of stuff that you can only dream to call your own.

Then you ask these individuals just how they do it; is it an interest / passion mixed with a good blend of enthusiasism and drive? Or is it pure luck?

I think I am in a good position to see exactly which individuals fall into which category (1) the "Because I want it" and the (2) " Because I can " .

I've been quite the good every-teacher's dream student when I was growing up , good conduct (actually, only if you don't count the numerous afternoons spent outside the discipline master's room because I was late for school , again, or my hair was too long, wearing colored socks etc.). But hey,this proves that I was no nerd ,was good at sports AND still got the straight A's.
Okay? ;-)

Back to my point, so suffice to say, my academic resume is almost impeccable. (And I basically grew up thinking getting A's all the damn time was a common occurance on any body's plate. 'Cos, I now realise how screwed up so many people are out there when it comes to hitting the books)

Now, being in university, my A's are still coming actually, but because I am also modelling , it brings to me an awareness of a whole new type of resume that other's have.

The type that sends the "wooos..." and the 'ahhhs" . Yeash, I am talking about the famed Model's portfolio.

You see the bodies , and especially, the faces, that you can only stare in sweet-horror , never mind the admiration. The kind of faces you could never have; forgeting that modelling is all about being unique.

And then you start to wonder, unlike academic/other -job achievements that can be gotten with hard work and drive (of course , arguably you're more likely to be better off if you had brains gotten off the right side of a chimpanzee) , modelling is all about THE FACE.
(And similarly, you better not have the face of a Chimp, either. )

A great body can be gotten by drive; the exercise, the pills and diet.

A face, can never be duplicated or replicated . Not even wth surgery. (Because a starting out model is poor as can be ?)

So , if you are a model, even with drive, it really cannot bring you really far if you don't have THE FACE.

So , here begs the enduring question : You're doing well in the industry
" Because you can?"


Shivers. Life was never fair was it. :-P
