Blake lively hair #05

This past Monday, I was bored and had a sore throat so did not have a lot of energy. I was flipping through the tube and stumbled upon The CW's Gossip Girl at 8pm. As I follow some of these teen dramas from time to time because of my work, I watched this and was nothing short of appalled. Why do we watch this and why do we want more and more?

The show begins with the first day of school. One character named Jenny is scared to go because of a fallout she had with some girls the year before and declares that last year she was a "project" but this year is a "victim". Soon, we see a group of girls sitting on the front steps. The obvious Queen Bee named Blair is sitting with a group of minions leafing through some folders of different new girls in the school. We also see these new girls being "interviewed" by this group and these newbies are classified as either "projects" or "victims" based on the decision of this girl Blair. Later in the episode, we see the same group along with one named Serena barreling down the hall. One new girl, Amanda, has attached herself to Serena's somewhat ex boyfriend Dan which upsets this little beehive. They invite Amanda to lunch only to warn her to stay away from Dan. Serena seems to be a nice kid who warns Blair not to be so horrible about the situation. Well later, Serena, Dan and this new girl are on a "date" which is very awkward. Serena and Dan of course have a huge blow up. Blair is nowhere to be found but her minions are there. A guy named Chuck who would make a great candidate for the Anti-Christ shows up to the minions with some gel to put in Amanda's hair and burn it off. So, these minions do so and Serena lets them know not to let anything happen again without going through her first. After this, we see Chuck paying Amanda for a job well done. A job well done? It seems that Chuck set this whole scenario up to shake up Blair's standing as a Queen Bee and have Serena de-throne her. He does so because he loves Blair and wants her upset so she will run back to him. Then we see these girls together the next day at school where Serena is the obvious Queen Bee and Blair has been de-throned as Chuck wished. In the meantime, these same minions are making Jenny's life hard by throwing her belongings on the ground and letting her know that the fun is just beginning. Jenny is now skipping school and showing up at a design shop where she interns.

First off, when is burning someone's hair off a form of entertainment? I am really trying to wrap my head around this one. Second, interviewing people as possible projects or victims? This is school, not a battlefield! Wait, school is a battlefield and this show makes no bones about it. Also, this Chuck is nothing short of a psychopath and will probably be in prison for some white collar crime or become a politician when he becomes an adult. What is entertaining about a smart girl skipping school? A girl who could have a bright future but is being ripped apart by a group of vipers? Most importantly, why does there need to be a Queen Bee? This show is nothing more than a group of kids seeing life as a game of chess. Why must life be a game?

I find this show to be disturbing on so many levels. It glorifies bullying and peer abuse. Kids not even in college are already scheming, plotting and manipulating. Several of them have no conscience. One exhibits sadistic behavior for the love of a girl. This is how they express love for one another? It also proves my theories and what I have said all along. Bullies are pathological, narcissistic and even sadistic. They are mean, selfish, void of compassion and see life as a game. Is there a bright light at the end of this vicious tunnel? Lets face it, we are becoming a culture of psychopaths. There is no other way to say it.

Blake lively hair #04

English 'Romantic' painter, printmaker, and poet William Blake (1757-1827) was a radical visionary. He expressed his mystical views through paintings, engravings, and poetry. Blake was never inclined to represent the materialistic things around him. The concept of his work was driven by religious visions. Blake's unusual capability to capture and portray a theme from just his imagination shows his sheer brilliance as an artist. One of his most amazing paintings was a relief called "The Ancient of Days," created in 1794.

This print of 23 cm x 17 cm (9" x 7") in size was made from a copperplate engraving. "The Ancient of Days" was actually a cover illustration for his book of poems 'Europe, a Prophecy,' which Blake published in 1794. William Blake claimed to have created this alluring image based on a vision he had over a staircase while he was living in Lambeth. It may not seem that there is an obvious connection between the print and its title, however, its a known fact that in his prophecies, Prophet Daniel referred to God as "The ancient of Days." Blake made the print with intricate detail and hand painted it using deep vibrant watercolors.

The image features an old but strong looking man sitting on one knee in a sphere bending down. The bright coloring of the sphere makes it seem like the sun surrounded by a dark cloudy sky depicted in maroons and browns. The man has long white hair and a white beard. He is stretching to bend downwards outside the sphere holding a huge compass in his left hand, as if taking a measurement. William Blake was termed eccentric, for he rejected all the conventional norms of religion and formed his own beliefs. He often conveyed his ideology through his works. "The Ancient of Days" is one such illustration where Blake portrays 'Urizen' (a name he had given to the creator of the universe in his writings). This magnificent illuminated print is proof of Blake's inventive creative genius and skillful artistry.

The Ancient of Days was a personal favorite of Blake's. It is currently housed at the British Museum in London. His innovative artwork may not have been well received during his lifetime, but today they are considered great masterpieces. William Blake's artwork is deemed unique and critics have tagged him as one of the greatest artists Britain produced.

Even to the simplest style that celebrities have, people always consider the look to be something appealing.

Every celebrity has a different hair style and different methods of sustaining such style. Nowadays, celebrity hair styles seem to be changing too fast, too soon.

Victoria Beckham's short haircut is one of the hottest celebrity hair styles this year with her new blonde hair. The front of the hairstyle shows uneven lengths and the right side is longer than the left. This hairstyle gives Victoria a sun-kissed look, and provides an appearance that's very natural.

Having full blunt bangs, such as Nicole Richie's is gorgeous. Her stunning brown hair colour adds shine to her hair and the bangs are flawlessly used to draw attention to her eyes.

If you have a long bob hairstyle, you can also add bangs to keep you look fresh. Straight bangs across your forehead will bring a combination of formal and sophisticated look.

Eva Longoria Parker's style may not always be the trend setter or cutting edge quality we're looking for; but her locks can never be criticized for always looking so well-groomed. She may have her waves long and loose or she may be graciously sporting a flawless updo. Whatever she does, her hair never fails to amaze other with its super shiny tresses that everybody covets. Her styles may not always be on trend and cutting edge but Eva Longoria Parker's locks never look anything but well groomed.

Kristin Bell is another celebrity moving towards the curl look for winter and it suits her well. Both the long hair and curls Kristin wore for the Critics' Choice Awards show as well as Kristin's classy updo for the Golden Globes gets nods from me. She would be a hard act to follow looking so pulled together and so feminine all at the same time.

Taking first place, along with all her other wins and recognition this year goes to Sandra Bullock. Whether the beautiful brunette is sporting her simple straight do or throwing in a few curls for her updo, this movie powerhouse always takes first prize in appearance. Sandra's ability to roll with the punches and look great doing it is why she keeps getting those movie offers...and hunky leading men to work with!

The last four women, one of which is Rihanna, certainly have made a choice on their new winter look that they will have to stick with for a while: they are all four short dos. Rihanna added a softer, more muted red color to her hair, a departure from the bright orange-red she sported before. And she added some curls to boot. And it looks great on her, I think. It softens her appearance and brings out her beautiful complexion more.

This straight razored bob was a great choice for Kimberley at the American Idol Top 12 Finalists' Party. Her hair was parted to the side and slight side bangs were added to fall into her lengths. This look is ideal for longer face shapes and larger foreheads as it can help to minimise the appearance of a larger forehead. The razored ends and layers of this style gives the hair a textured look and adds body to the style.
