Blog Award : )

The amazingly sweet Pooja a.k.a ladylavender from Musings Of A Novice gave me a blog award!


 I love reading her posts. And I also admire that she has a little boyish-rough streak, or whatever you may want to call it in her. She`s not a typical girly girl. And btw she is also a qualified computer programmer which I think is awesome. So she is a computer programmer with a degree(!), loves all things beauty and can also kick your ass : ) She used to play rugby you see :D


So according to tradition I have to-

1. thank the person who gave you this award. Thank you Thank You Thank you Pooja.

2. Tell 7 facts about Myself


3.Pay it forward to 7 bloggers you adore and contact them to let them know they've been chosen.

Seven Wonders Of Me :)

1. I absolutely LOVE animals. So much so that I have gotten into heated arguments with people who think the amount of love I have for them sometimes is bad,cos it is greater than my love for humans. I have many reasons for that and I could dedicate a whole blog on it : ) so I won`t start here.

 But yeah, Love animals. I want to adopt and help every stray animal out there and nothing stops me from screaming my head off when I see someone kick a dog or any other animal on the street. I also get teary eyed seeing sad documentaries or ads on how any animal is going extinct or is being tortured etc.

2. I love Blue. I also love all the peacock colours. 'Peacock colours' is the theme of my room : )

3. I live with my Mother and My dog. My parents got divorced when I was about 14 and I am totally fine with it. I actually like this arrangement better. Get the best of both worlds!

4. I am pro - choice i.e abortion. I am for gay marriages. I don`t believe in any religion or god nor do I like it when people put one religion over the other. I think they are all equal but do not have a preference. I also dont know why Visa forms and Hospital forms have a 'Religion' section. Mine always says blank.

5. I love sour things. Raw mangoes! Yum. Sucks that I cant have them in winters. Any type of sour CHURAN :D

6. I am 20 years old and my Mother still wraps and gives me Christmas presents on the 25th and I am proud of it :)

7. I like Deepika Padukone over Sonam Kapoor 

Whoa. I hope that wasn`t too long and didnt bore you.

Onto the SEVEN bloggers I give this award to !

1. Namita Of A Fashion Fixation I absolutely adore her sense of style and her knowledge of international fashion.

2. Sonali Of Bollywood Style Diaries I love how she writes, shes quirky and funny. She also has really interesting games and other fun stuff on her blog.

3. Desipolitan another amazing writer with a funny streak.

4.Fashion & Me I just came across her blog recently and think she has really chic style

5.Cynthia of Indian Vanity Case I know she`s probably gotten this and other blog awards a hundred times now but I do think she really deserves it cos she is DAMN creative with her make up looks. Never fails to surprise! 

6. Jeweliot Of Crowded Solitude I know this is a Style award and she writes more on general things. You know. Like life. Anyway I give this to her cos I like her writing style : )

7. Republic Of Chic She has such great style and her pictures are brilliant. She also has a little shop which sells such cute yet edgy dresses etc.

A Sad Little Ramble.

I am a nail polish addict. I love it! Specially in the winter I love having bright colours on my nails that peek out of really long sleeve sweaters. I dunno. I just love the pop of color.

Also I dont follow the whole 'its fall so we`ll wear fall colors' thing. Its bright for me all the way. I seldom wear any nude or basic colors on my nails.

I found out about cherryculture.com through the blogsphere and went completely overboard ordering stuff specially nail polishes

I was so looking forward to receiving my order and doing my first ever HAUL!

But cherry culture is making me sad : (

I ordered on the30th of October and still nothing has come. They have given me a discount coupon for the next time I shop which is really sweet of them but next time will only come once I receive THIS package!

I really really hope it comes soon cos I genuinely like the site and would shop more from them. Although I do wish I had gotten to know about Joys Shop on ebay before I ordered from Cherry culture. But then again Joys Shop only has Nyx.

What can I do but wait 

Sigh.

Cheeeettaaaaahhhh

Every store I go to is bursting with Cheetah prints. From shoes to bags. I think its kinda cute and Im tempted to buy one piece but not sure which one.

Would you try this trend?

McDonald's Bumblebee 2010

I broke down and bought a Happy Meal last night and managed to get Bumblebee. He is number three in McDonald's Transformers 2010 line. His left arm and waist both move but his head does not. A blue projectile can be launched from his right arm. Instead of pressing a button on the back to launch the projectile, his door wings are pulled back.

Grab Bag Comics Coming

The only shopping that I did on Black Friday 2010 was to purchase a hundred Dark Horse and independent grab bag comics at Things From Another World. Thy are usually fifty cents for each comic but they were on sale for ten cents. Unfortunately, I missed out on the DC and Marvel grab bag comics. You can be sure that I will be posting about the ones that I do get here.

Women Wrestling Wednesday: Kerry Von Erich Vs The Vampire

Yeah, this wrestling match should have been posted in October for Halloween Countdown 2010 but I did not find the video until today. The Texas Tornado battles a curvy blue-skinned vampire.

Disney's The Avengers Official Site

You can watch full episodes and video clips plus play games at Disney's The Avengers. I have only seen a few episodes of the cartoon and I like what I have seen.

American Music Awards in LA

 The American Music Awards were held recently in LA. As much as I like music I don`t really care how many awards Justin Beiber won for his nursery rhymes. 


But when I was going through the red carper pictures some of the outfits caught my eye.

 Taylor Swift is almost unrecognizable with poker straight hair and a very edgy dress. Usually known for her soft big curls and frilly dresses this look came as a pleasant change. I think she looks super hot and I love that she`s finally experimenting a little without going all lady gaga on us.

 I love love love Rihanna`s Ellie Saab sheer lace dress. I am so glad that she colored her hair a little darker and it sets of the dress beautifully. Her previous hair color, a fiery hot red would not have looked this good.

I am also adoring the make up. Love the subtle green eyeshadow.

I have no idea what Miley Cyrus is wearing. Its just strange.And I don`t know why she`s gone all blonde. I used to really like her hair long and brown.

As for the dress, maybe I would`ve liked it if it were another colour. Maybe

Oh Kesha. I mean KE$HA. I dont understand why everyone must follow lady Gaga now and dress absurdly. 

If everyone starts doing, it won`t be absurd anymore would it?

It looks like she took grabbed all her tapes/cassettes,pulled the black ribbon out and cut it into a dress.

Katy Perry. Another one known for her wacky costumes, wore a simple and normal dress and an even wonderful post wedding glow.

Avril Lavinge
I don`t even know what to say, the shoes hurt my eyes.

I usually like what Fergie wears and this dress happens to be by Indian designers Falguni and Shane Peacock. So i should like this dress, but I don`t. I don`t know what it is. It looks like a purple coloured armour suit to me.

I love Heidi Klum. I absolutely Love Lace. And I adore this dress. But I do have a problem with the crotch area. It just looks Wrong. I wish it weren`t so. I would`ve adored this dress much more. And also the waist band is too thick.

Jessica Alba. A simple look which can easily be recreated, but I would`ve done the hair differently.

John Legend, Christine Teigen

I loved John Legend`s model girlfriend Christine Teigen dress. The woman looks so damn classy! Also her make up is so simple yet sexy

Do you have any favorites amongst these?

Knots In My Hair

I randomly saw this picture somewhere and I instantly loved it! I soon figured out how to do it, and its so damn simple! It doesn`t show this nicely on jet black Indian hair but still its a nice detailed but messy little up do.


I tried doing this the day I had shampooed my hair and the silkiness works against this hairstyle. So I suggest you try this when there is some amount of buildup in your hair which provides some hold.

1. Dive your hair into two sections.
   
   
2. Tie a knot using the two sections. Just like you would with a rope or a string
   
   
3. Repeat. Tie another knot.
   
   
4. Done

I was surprised that it didn't open up. But it would be better to use some bobby pins from behind and some hair spray.

Actually I would suggest using hairspray once after you have parted your hair in two sections and then using it again once the two knots have been formed. It will provide a good amount of hold.

Don`t worry about sections sticking out, its supposed to be messy.

This hairstyle will work best on someone who doesn't have too many layers. Cos the layers ARE bound to stick out.

Sneak Peek Victoria Secrets Runway 2010

The Victoria Secrets Runway show happened I think two weeks back and it airs on 30th November. Katy Perry performed this year.


Here is a little sneak peek and I`ll do a full review etc when it finally airs

I love anything that is Peacock :)

 I know this show isn`t much about fashion. Its more about amazingly hot models who have legs which never seem to end. But I love watching it nonetheless. I love the energy of the show and the girls make it look like so much fun. I love their outlandish styling just for the skimpy lingerie. And those wingggsss!!


I will admit, I don`t mind looking at those leggy models either.

Adrianna Lima

Chanel Iman

I dont know about Katy Perry and this show. I dont really think SEXY when i see her. I think more quirky and crazy. Maybe they should`ve gotten Rihanna or Beyonce?

As I have said before I don`t think the show is going to be the same without Heidi Klum, who was the lead Victoria Secrets ANGEL for many years. She is the epitome of the funnest model I have seen! Who do you think is going to be the lead This year?
My favourite Victoria Secrets Runway show has got to be the one where Heidi Klum and Seal (her husband) sang together. It was so adorable and I really liked the song too!

Batman By Ryan Sook

This page of Bruce Wayne dressed as Thomas Wayne masquerading as a Batman by Ryan Sook from The Return of Bruce Wayne #5 needs to be a poster:

Green Lantern Presents Hostess Glo Balls

Hostess Glo Balls was a limited edition of their Sno Balls, which are chocolate cakes with creamy fillings that are covered with marshmallow and coconut. To be honest, I do not remember ever trying the regular versions before. After eating one, I remember why I erased any past experiences with the Sno Balls from my mind. The Glo Balls have just a tiny hint of coconut and were drier than the whole state of Arizona. This was the only box of the limited edition series that I picked up at the local Super Wally World since it took me a month to finish them.

The Green Lantern action figure did not come with the box and was found several years ago at a local thrift store. If these were made back in the 1970s and 19980s, then the box would have had a trading card on them and I might have picked up the other cakes in the series.

Best Part Of Batman Inc. #1

This panel of Batman and Catwoman together by Yanick Paquette was the best part of the comic book for me:

Blog Alert: Hey! Look At My Toys!

Reis is back with an all new blog at Hey! Look At My Toys!. He posts about his huge collection of action figures and other cool toys. The videos are back but the lucha libre masks that were a staple of the Blog That Will Not Be Named are gone.

Gossip Girl B/Witches Of Bushwick

Since Gossip Girl has been on air (bless that day) it has had many OMFG moments. First they advertised their bad reviews like so..

which I think was pretty clever

There have been plenty of shocking storylines, many drugs from marijuana to cocaine (remember Serenas big secret in season One where the guy overdosed and died?) pregnancies, ridiculous promiscuous behavior, deaths, divorces, threesomes etc. Nothing has shocked me yet or made me say Dude, that was Not cool.


But this weeks episode made me say the Exact thing. I am sorry but Juliet took it a little far with the whole drugging and apparently kidnapping Serena. First of all I think its ridiculous that Vanessa and Jenny are this whole team Brooklyn and want to show the other how it feels to be an outsider. I really do not get the whole concept.  The Four (S,B,C,N) grew up together and have a similar background. So what? They didn't ask for it did they? Why must they be attacked for being born and raised a certain way. Everyone has a background. Instead of being comfortable in it why must some people attack others. By doing so, Vanessa and Jenny making themselves apparent outsiders. Anyway I am getting a little ahead so I am going to rewind to the start.

The episode starts off with Eric and Elliot drawing stuff and Serena comes along and she instantly know its a Venn Diagram. I was nicely surprised to know that Serena knows what a Venn Diagram IS. The writers have stretched the whole Dan-Serena-Nate thing for way too long its getting very annoying. She hasn't been able to PICK one since the ending of last season.
Anyway, the Vanessa-Jenny-Juliet triangle has gone into complete bitch/psycho/need therapy mode. Juliet may possibly have a little crush on Jenny,she was falling all over her and her evil plans. She even proposed being a slave for her ( okay WORKING for her). When Jenny goes to Lily, telling her about Juliet, I saw a little hope for Jenny but alas the writers had tricked me and little J is still a bitch. Sigh.

I consider myself to be pretty 'tech savvy' but maybe not since I do not understand WHICH phone company allows for the existence of two SIM cards with the same number. One SIM card doesn't receive anything, just the outgoing works and the duplicate can receive and send. Wow. Need to suggest that to the Vodafone Puppy.


One realistic thing that happened in the episode and I can relate to was Lily being all Momma Bear on the dean. I know many mothers ( Hi! Mom!!) who will defend their child with all their instinct from any outsider but will give them hell for the same when the two of them are alone. And that is exactly what happened between super mom Lily and Serena.


 Also the dig Juliet made at Lily " Van der woodsen, Bass, Humpfrey, WHAT is her last name" was SO not cool. If I were Serena ( I WISH) Juilet would have a black eye right there and then!! 

Our beloved Chuck and Blair have a little problem. They both have people in their lives telling them to make changes (i.e stop seeing eachother) so they don`t ruin their image, you know for work and stuff. They still manage to help eachother out while indulging in their favourite pastime. And while talking about Balenciaga and Public condemnation Chuck utters those three lovely words.They both ignore it assuming that he did not mean it.

But the ever wise Dorota knocks some sense into Blair who quickly strips down to her nightie and goes to Chucks 'Sinners and Saints' Masquerade.

Meanwhile the awful three ( Juliet Jenny and Vanessa ) are playing around with Dan and Nate. (God those two are dumb) Gossip Girl has to play her part (the show IS named after her) and lets it slip ( yeah right ) that Serena is wearing a Carolina Herrera dress to the Masquerade. Now the writers are REALLY running out of ideas. Do you remember the last masquerade party where Jenny posed as Serena once again and Nate told her he loves her. Come On!

 Juliet puts the money she just received from her recent black mail from Lily to good use and buys two identical dresses, one for herself and Jenny. Both of whom are going to pose as Serena and screw with Dan and Nates head a little more. I dont know how that is possible since neither Juliet nor Jenny have the boobs or the messy bed hair of Serena. Also Juliet isn`t as BLONDE!

Desperately awaiting for the end of these three b...um witches

To sum it all up the two blonde idiots succeed and ruin Serenas relationship with Dan Nate and Blair. Blair and Chuck decide they WILL be together after all but Blair soon decides she needs to be her own person before she can be Chucks ( good for her! )
The best part is ofcourse that the ego between them has gone and they do in fact love each other.

The fashion of the episode was meh. Nothing significant AT ALL thus this very long recap. I didnt think any of the outfits were worth mentioning.


But tell me who do you prefer Serena with. Nate Dan or the latest tight dress she has on? 


Favourite Quotes


Serena: A Venn diagram? Really? You seriously expect me to make this monumental decision with colored pencils and graph paper?
Eric: Don’t mock. Eliot got an 800 on his math SATs.
Eliot: Probability. Set theory. It’s basically what they do when you sign up for an online dating service.
Serena: Okay, E’s harmony.


Juliet: I should have known taking down Serena involved wearing the perfect dress.
Jenny: Well, any time I can combine styling with revenge. Plus this isn’t exactly my first masquerade party.


Blair: As long as I’m with you, I’m Hilary in the White House. And I want to be Hilary, Secretary of State. But with better hair


Blair Waldorf: my black Balenciaga will be perfect to publicly condemn you. 
Chuck Bass: i love poplin. 
Blair Waldorf: i love condemnation. 
Chuck Bass: i love you. 
……………… 
Blair Waldorf: of course no one does black like Dior.
