A tip a day:
Eyebrows frame your eyes and create an expression for the entire face. The finishing touch to a stunning eye is a perfectly groomed brow.

Too blonde for your liking?

I cannot believe my eyes and ears (exaggerating okay?) that this blog has been dormant for almost FIVE months? What happened to the other Poseurs ah? Maternity leave I suppose? I shall be the first one to revamp here after been so quite and lazy to update.

December is just a few weeks away which reminds me...I am soon turning 2-1. The legal age (NOT) hehe. So I am to propose in today's blog and share with you my birthday wishlist that I have created eons ago; its not really a big deal girls...not that I really want you to get them or SHOULD get them coz I know how thoughtful you girls usually are when giving presents. Lets just put it this way...the wishlist represents like a map. A map of wanting to go somewhere but you just cant seem to land at the right spot until this Wentworth Miller-look-a-likey-navigator comes to your rescue! (In this case I am that Wentworth Miller-look-a-likey navigator :p)

But do not start to fidget and worry girls I am not going to list them all down in one go...we'll do it the izzah style ;) It goes like this...Im going to list only one item per day if not per week. hey at least im giving you space and time to breathe yes?

Wishlist No.1 will be right after this post so keep refreshing. It is therefore an obligation now for all to come and visit this site every week. It's gonna be better than google.com. Hehe.

Enough of ranting.

A smile a day:

Elle's Mother: Honey, you were First Runner-Up at the "Miss Hawaiian Tropics" contest. Why are you going to throw that all away?
Elle: Going to Harvard is the only way I'm going to get the love of my life back.
Elle's Father: Oh, sweetheart, you don't need law school. Law school is for people who are boring and ugly and serious. And you, button, are none of those things.

How to Be a Budget Fashionista: The Ultimate Guide to Looking Fabulous for Less
This delightful little guide to the fashion good life is perfect for money-conscious shopaholics who "love purses because they can instantly identify your personality and be used to 'fake' your income level." After teasing out the all-important personality and style differences between Sex and the City and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman women, Finney rates everything from discount designer web sites to outlet malls so that readers will be assured of their catch.
The author also proves herself to be more than mere fashion tourguide as she takes time out to explain the Value Added Tax, the surprising ways to spot a designer fake and how to safely purchase high-end goods on eBay.
While this fun-to-read frippery won't reveal too many new secrets for die-hard Vogue and W fans, some of the author's more practical advice ("Take Care of Your Clothes Like a Stylist") make the upbeat guide well worth the price of admission. Finney's personal quest for the sartorial best on a budget, combined with her knack for sniffing out the best designer deals, will win her legions of fans.

Definition of fashionista:
Pronunciation: "fa-sh&-'nEs-t&

I-Spy Fashion - in the movies

Forget trying so hard to look pretty... the key is to look cool.. and self-confidence.. Men are doing it... so why cant we? One word comes to mind : Metro.

My A-list are:

Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) of P.O.T.C... looks yummy in eye-liner.. wears blings on his teeth & gets away with dread-locks with a rag on top of his head.. metro meets pirate grrrr... savvy?
No kidding i really googled and googled for this waterproof eye-liner and mascara and found it!

From MAC Cosmetics the colour is "Buried Treasure" but of course! It has the perfect black with a subtle gold/green cast. You can never go wrong with it.

Next is Esqueleto (Hector Jimenez) of Nacho Libre...

I can't find a better picture of him but you hafta hafta look at his clothes in the movie... soooo groovy, which some people might find tasteless, in his polyester clothes... there was a scene when he wore floral denim pants and a jacket which seemed to be sewn from a bedspread... but it was too just too pretty... and those chequered pants and funky tops he was wearing... where did he get those?

He aint much in the looks category.. but hey he attempted a smile or two so I have to give him extra credits on that. But the guy has good fashion sense.. I'm telling you the groovy 70s is making a come-back and his style is the subtle kind meet desperate fashion-victim...and he wears em nice with flip-flops too.

I like I like!

Metrosexual: New Cultural Trend?
Is metrosexual really a hot new cultural trend or just a way for marketers to get men to realise they need to spend more on beauty products and clothes? The term applies to men who are in tune with their sensitive side and are very interested in looking good: nice clothes, fashion, beauty products etc.
David Beckham, a British footie star, is considered a great example of a metrosexual but Beckham himself says the word is strange. Howevever, perhaps his sensitivity to the word just makes him that much more of a metrosexual..... gay?

When Shopping Fever Hits

Some things that men everywhere find complaint-worthy

Stumbled upon an interesting article appeared on msn.com today. Read on...(made me smile as I read further heee)

“Why I won’t commit…yet”
By Ron Geraci

I have been on more than 250 dates in the last six years. And, on behalf of my fellow single American male peers, I feel the need to air some things that I, and men everywhere, find complaint-worthy. Many are small things that drive men away, or drive us slightly nuts. But if single women would just take a few of these helpful suggestions into consideration, we could change the world. Or, at least, make a man here or there enjoy a date a smidge more and consider settling down a whole lot sooner.

1. Do not insult my black leather couch. It’s been around a lot longer than you. And I can clean it with Windex.

2. Don’t tell me about the conspiracies and evil schemes of your coworkers. I don’t know these people and I won’t care about any of this drama unless it involves guns or sex.

3. Don’t do the feign where, after dinner, you take your wallet halfway out of your purse when the bill comes, saying, “Oh…wait a second, here…wait…Are you sure?” We know it’s almost certainly an empty gesture. If you asked me out, you can make a push to go Dutch or to pick up drinks without risking this negative overtone.

4. If you’re overweight, don’t try to bring attention to it in some mitigating way, such as “I broke my foot last winter and have gained so much weight, I can’t stand it.” All a guy hears is, “I’m sure you find my extra weight unattractive, but I’m hoping you’ll overlook it.” Pretend you really believe that you’re attractive. Every guy drooled for at least one enigmatic woman who was a good 20 or 30 pounds overweight, but had the personality and magnetism to make her weight a non-issue.

5. Don’t pull the “I’m pissed off at you but I’m not going to tell you why” stunt. If I do something that incenses you, either dump me or speak up. Do not attempt to make me figure out why you’re angry. This is the most annoying trait you can demonstrate in early courtship. I know you’ll do it occasionally if we get serious, but if you do it in our early dating phase, that means you will do it constantly.

6. Don’t tell me your timeline for getting sexual. Telling me, “I never sleep with guys until we’ve dated at least a month—just my little rule,” won’t make me think you have especially high standards. It’ll make me think you need artificial timelines because you don’t trust your instincts. If I become a real jerk and push you into telling me when I’m going to get some, be direct and say, “I’d like to wait until we’ve dated longer.”

7. Express open-minded interest in something I bring up that you have no interest in at all. I’m doing this for you constantly, so reciprocate just a little. Instead of saying, “I don’t watch television, so I’ve never seen that show and don’t know anything about it” try, “I’ve heard about that show but haven’t seen it—what’s interesting about it?” See how easy?

8. If I talk on and on about myself, don’t immediately assume I’m an egocentric conversation hogger who never shuts up. It might be because you’re letting uncomfortable silence persist after responding economically to my questions. Say something interesting. If I don’t let you finish your sentences, label me an ass and move on.

9. If we only had dinner, let me call you. If the date was an event in which I bought you some ticket or admission that cost $20 or more (a play, opera, concert, wine tasting, anything above a movie), call or email me the next day with a brief second thank you (the first should have come at the end of the date, though it’s omitted quite a bit). Do this whether you want to see the guy or not. It shows class.

10. Ask me one question. Just one question about me or my life. Don’t spend three hours responding to my questions, talking enthusiastically about your own life, or waiting to be entertained. Asking a question that indicates you have some interest in my life, and letting me answer it, will put you in the top three percent of great dates. And the more questions you ask, the greater your chances that any guy, die-hard bachelor or not, will fall hard and give up anything to be with you.

CHOCOLATES & AGE - You do the math

Basically I found this from a forwarded email.. I don't know which genius started this chain e-mail, (most probably unemployed with lots of time in his hands). Nevertheless, its pretty interesting.. (pls ignore the ones in pink italics)

DO NOT GO STRAIGHT TO THE END ...
It will only take a minute.. it took me two.. I'm just slower..

Do the maths as you read the instructions. Don’t read the end until you have done all the calculations. I promise it is not a waste of time - or so the creator claimed!, you will find this amusing... hey it convinced me hehehe bimbo alert..

1. How many times a week do you fancy eating chocolate? (Choose between 1 and 9).. if only there was a 10
2. Multiply that number by 2.
3. Add 5.
4. Multiply by 50 – go on, get that calculator out!
5. If you have had your birthday in 2006, add 1756. If your birthday is still to come, add 1755.
6. Now take away the year you were born.

..tadaaa


You should have a three digit number. The first is the number of time you fancy eating chocolate in a week. The other two digits are ... YOUR AGE!!!
2006 IS THE ONLY YEAR IN ALL ETERNITY WHEN THIS WORKS.

Wie (is) the champion.. my friendsss

Now give us a good reason why we shouldn't love Michelle Wie... and if you don't know her by now..her story unfolds: *deep breaths*

(Story courtesy of http://www.missmichellewie.com, the ones in pink and bold are my thoughts and sentiments *winks*)

Michelle Wie started golfing at a little over four years old in her home state of Hawaii. Her father, B.J. Wie, started teaching her. By the time she was 11, which is the exact right age for a girl to start falling in love.. in Wie's case - golf, Michelle was regularly winning most of the amateur tournaments she played in and was even playing better than most men. I believe she can outwit all the men in Brunei in a single swing...

She decide she wanted to become a pro-golfer after watching Tiger Woods play. Wie has pictures of Tiger all over her bedroom and also hopes to go to Stanford University, just like Tiger did. Even I wanted to become a pro-golfer after watching Tiger Woods.. no other good-looking golfers come close... Lucky me, I don't have pictures of Tiger posted in my bedroom, unlucky enough, at that age it was NKOTB..blaghhh.

Michelle Wie loves playing against the guys, so do I... hihihi, on the PGA tour but that's where her fascination for boys ends - for now. "I don't like boys," she says. "They're kind of annoying." ..my dear Wie, I was once like you but all that changed... I met my son... oh ya hahaha I met my husband first.. *ahaks* the men in my life..

On March 1, 2002, Wie, who is six-feet tall, no-kidding.. this lass can be the next top-model if she wants to, played in her first LPGA tour event. She failed to make the cut at the Takefuji Classic in Hawaii but still managed to turn some heads with her 280-yard drives and her understanding of the game. "I'm not disapppointed. I'm just happy to be here. There's free food and free drinks and nobody bothers you on the practice greens," said Michelle after shooting six strokes over par in the first two rounds. Thats it woman! Always always appeciate food.. see see I told you readers.. aint she the coolest!

In June, 2003, Michelle Wie became the youngest winner in the history of the Women's Amateur Public Links, with a 1-up victory over Virada Nirapathpongporn at Ocean Hammock. Hoorayy hooraayy

Michelle Wie became the youngest person, and just the fourth female, to play in a PGA tour event, when she teed off at the Sony Open on January 15, 2004. Wie missed the 36-hole cut by just one stroke, but finished with a higher score than 47 grown men! Hoorrayy again..

Michelle Wie didn't look at all out of place at the event, with her average drive being a whopping 271 yards. However, Wie was still a bit disappointed at not making the cut. "Just one more shot, and I would have made it," she said after finishing with birdies on two of the last three holes. "It's killing me now." Michelle Wie came close to making her first cut at a PGA event at the 2005 John Deere Classic - but had a late collapse in the second round to miss the cut by two strokes. Hang in there Wie.. I once said to myself.. "Just one more shop and I would have made it.. its killing me that I didn't buy that Shoe in Bangkok now" ..ohh we're so alike!

Would it be wrong If I say she's almost perfect? She looks good in her Nikes as well as those evening gowns.. she's tall, athletic and smart.. oh we sooo envy you Miss Wie.. all in all.. you are the epitome of the new-aged woman.. and to our distinguished men *ehem golfers* of DHS4skins .. here's to you (especially ED).. see we have our say on golf too... it has fashion, pretty ladies (& some pretty men), vibrant colours and publicity.. We love this game!
