Photoshop me a new arse

Ok, so about ten days ago we saw that Miranda Kerr is bony. Yet now – according to pics in The Vine – she has a full, rounded arse:

Yeah. Right.

Have a closer look at the centre pic. Someone’s had fun with it, but the proportions are all wrong. She’s not arching her body, yet we’re to believe that her buttocks stick out like that? The more you look at it the more you realise how ridiculous it is. Like Eminem doing Kim Kardashian in that film clip where he took the piss out of other celebrities. If that was really Miranda Kerr’s arse she’d be famous for it.

The World Series Begins...Always Bittersweet

It’s the culmination of each baseball season, and there’s a subtle, yet unmistakable added intensity to the players’ approach. It’s such a hard thing to describe but it can’t be missed. I look forward to sharing with other fans, the broadcasters and the players the way the highs seems higher and lows oh so much lower. There’s a definite bittersweetness about The Series first pitch being thrown, however.  The end of the season is just four wins from one of the teams away, followed by four-plush months of counting down the days until pitchers and catchers report. I’ll enjoy it while it’s here. Phils!

Political QuickHit…If we stripped away all influences on politicians – industry and association lobbies, etc. and could hit the mute button on the hyperbolic, and often irresponsible and dangerous, rhetoric spouting from the mouths of ‘journalists’, ‘experts’, and commentators meant to distract from the real issue – the answers about how to fix the healthcare system in this country would be clear. The point is that nearly one-fifth of the people in this country don’t have access to even the most basic kinds of care, and the price tag on care for individuals in this country is so wildly out of line with what the actual costs of those services should be. Sadly, of course, this simplistic approach to the work in which Congress is supposed to be engaged is an impossibility and one that those on The Hill would laugh at for it’s ‘naivete’. What’s laughable is that the future of profits for healthcare companies is having more influence on the direction of healthcare legislation than the future of access and cost of healthcare for the people of this country.

Who do the elected officials represent, again?

Some lyrical wizardry to engage the mind and lighten the mood…

Augmented reality

Ondertussen is augmented reality toch al aardig ingeburgerd: rijdende 3D auto’s, een gouden Cannes Lion en onlangs nog de virtuele showroom van Mercedes. Hoewel dit mooie voorbeelden zijn, lijkt me dat dit trucje niet eeuwig zal blijven werken. Gelukkig weten we dat er meer mogelijk is in de wereld van de ‘toegevoegde realiteit’. Bekijk hier enkele interessante voorbeelden:

  • ‘Hand from Above‘, een project van kunstenaar Chris O’shea vermaakt passerende voetgangers:


  • My.Ikea case study by Robin Westergren & Nick Sjöström:

  • User generated art competition voor de release van Eminem’s album, The Relapse:


  • Topps 2009 baseball cards:

  • Layar, ’s werelds eerste mobile Augmented Reality browser:

Fresh Music From The US...Eminem, T-Wayne, Timbaland & Drake

So after releasing Relapse earlier this year it looks Relapse 2 is on it way, probably in November. I assume this track will feature on the new album, its called “Taking my Ball”. I like it, Eminem is on a bit of a hot streak at the moment, I was a fan of the relapse album and loved his verse on the Drake track Forever. I can’t wait to hear more from our favourite white rapper!

Eminem – Taking My Ball

Next track is new from producer to the stars Timbaland. The track is from his forthcoming album “Shock Value 2″ (love these imaginative album titles), this is also dropping in November. The track I have for you is “Say Something” featuring Drake, this means I absolutely love it, for me the young rapper can’t put a foot wrong.

Timbaland – Say Something Feat. Drake

And lastly an older track that has been remixed a bit, Its T-Pain and Lil’ Wayne’s track “Can’t Believe It”. I thought it deserved a post as I have always liked this track, so it being freshened up with a new verse pleased me.

T-Wayne – Can’t Believe It (Remix)

Jay-Z "Eminem Had One of the Best Videos of All Time!!!!!"

After MTV released their Hottest Emcee List Jigga wrote a letter to MTV. And then Jay interrupts himself to call on MTV to offer an explanation for why Eminem is not on the list. “Sidebar: Kanye moment if I may… Eminem?!?! I think you do the credibility of this list a disservice if you don’t thoroughly explain his omission. As of this second he has the highest selling rap album of the year and a scene stealing verse on the best ‘posse’ cut of the year. (*Hands mic back to Taylor Swift… and nobody was harmed, I apologize in advance.)” Jay-Z writes.

Going Guffaw Over Lady Gaga

Eminem’s Reaction: Priceless!

Put “fashionable ” and “outrageous” together and you are bound to get Lady Gaga. The same woman that has inspired many to be more daring in what they wear had also elicited some “guffaws” fromt the fashion industry.

So how does one do a Lady Gag? For starters, you have to be comfortable with wearing some very sexy like vinyl lingerie.  Keep in mind that your dress should be fun and funky, and should reflect your uninhibited side. Wear something made of bright color/s.

For your head dress, don’t be ashamed to wear large bows or clips. Take advantage of your long hair and style it to form bows, hearts, whatnots.

You might also want to go for tights as well as fishnet pahtyhoses. Pair this with boots, platforms, wedges or pumps depending on your mood.

So, till next time….Flaunt on!

The Loss of a Love

Breaking News

Not sure if you watch the Real Housewives of Atlanta, but there has been a report of a death of one of the costars. One of the beloved new stars Kandi Burruss’s (from the 90’s r&b group xscape) Fiance AJ (Ashley Jewell) was killed last night while leaving a Gentleman’s Club last night according to the website theWBF.com. Acording to the article there was indeed a fight and AJ ended up on the floor and died on his way to the hospital. It is truly sad that he has passed away, and for Kandi this is just another tragedy to add to her list. If you don’t follow the show, earlier durning the season AJ’s Nephew was killed in a car accident. I understand that both AJ and Kandi were close to the nephew and they both took the loss hard. Now with the death of her fiance, no doubt she will be feeling the pain of this for a long time to come. GOD bless and grant comfort her, AJ’s friends and family durning this trying time. RIP Ashley Jewell, AJ Leaves behind 6 children. There is also an investigation into the killing.
