Style

Blog this, rant this already and most people kinda know how I view style or to put it in better words how the way I dress myself. Its probably somewhere hidden beneath all of my previous posts. Yesterday another friend tried to upgrade my wardrobe again. He said he wanted me to dress better and have a sense of style. He was rambling on an on about a "sempoi style", a street style, a "cute" style and among other things. He also told me not to condem his choice of of stuff for me to wear. Little does he know about the thing he is about to get himself into.

As we were rummaging The Mines shopping centre, we went store hopping and looked at the stuff on display and went to countless racks of clothing. He explained to me how match the shirts and trousers. How the length of a shirt should never reach below the rear pocket of your jeans, if the pocket is external or sew on the trousers. If the pocket is hidden inside the pants, its okay for it to be a bit longer. Cartoons or graphic character on a T-shirt fits should be matched to jeans. Short trousers should be slightly below the knee. Inseams of jeans should be longer and loose. Jeans should have a faded wash. I think phase out when he was talking about colour and what colours are old looking and what are not.

Of course he was doing all these references on his 60kg, 162cm body and not my 94kg 161cm body. So what  happened was, not many things fit properly actually and he was kinda frustrated. It made me feel good, because only now he knew why I wore certains things certain way. The challenge was to find me stylish clothes that could fit me now. The easy way out was to tell me to loose 10kg so that clothes fit me better, which like the advice of every stylish person I know.

I read this one book, a very clever written book, but it was only targetted to women, which is too bad really. If I am not mistaken, the book is called What Not To Wear? or is it Wear According To Your Body Type? either way its basically a book helping women of not just typical Pear, Ladder or Hour Glass shape, but those with a vase shape, lollypop shape, cone shape and etc. Its great because now truly every women of every imaginable shape could wear something that is flattering to them.

Me? I am hard person to style. I am short, about 161cm, I have a  40 inch waist that can go up or down an inch depending on the time of day, I have a wide shoulder and smaller hips which means most of my weight is carried about my waist. My hair is very curly, almost "old  chinese ladies perm" curly. I have a huge head which is a problem when it comes to finding glasses and hats. I have blacken elbow, knee and the joint at the side of my feet while the sole of my feet is rough, dry and cracked, way beyond what you see in cracked heels cream.. Yes its a challenge to style me, many people have tried and got frustrated.

I am actually quite open to the options that they gave me, and most of them thought I would cringe at their choices. However once they say the style they have in their head, does not actually fit me. They will think twice.

So far these are the advice my stylish friends gave me, perhaps you know them already.

• My sister told me, when buying an article of clothing, accesories or shoes, look at the details of them. Details makes the item interesting and stylish.
• Friend A told me to find shirts that has the line or stiching that connects the shirt to the sleaves falls on my shoulder that connects to my arms and that sleaves should not reach below my elbow
• Frienemy B told me shoes define a person, if you actually paid attention to nice shows, somehow you are already paying lots of attention to what you wear.
• Friend C told me the bottom of T- shirts should fall between the rear exposed pocked, if the pocket is hidden, it can fall lower. Buttoned shirts with a square bottom should could be worn untucked with khakis, however you can only wear jeans with buttoned shirts with a rounded bottom.
• My mother just told me to stop wearing clothes that looked like that have been worn a million times...
• Friend A and C told me I should stick up plastic into my eyes each day (wear contacts lenses instead of glasses)

In the end, friend B asked me want I do usually looked when I buy clothes. I said, comfort, then he replied, "you just don't care how it looks don't you". Afraid not.  The only thing I am really concerned about my clothes, is whether its stenched of B.O or damp dirty cloth, followed my whether its stained or not. You can be really good looking and dressed like you just got out of a photoshoot, but if you stank like hell.. its not worth it..

Kevin James is the proof that black and loose colored clothing are a large man best friends and beautiful women do appreaciate a man's sense of humor

Absolutely Positively Takde Keje Lain

This post is so vain, if you could raised one eye brow, you would too. I just gotten a haircut, and its always a bit different everytime I get it but its always being done according to my taste. Something simple as keeping the side and back very short and cutting the crown with a layering scissors, make simple "crew cut", just a bit different. Heck, I am all about crew cuts, is the only hair style I like to have and maintain. My sideburn is back, after it was accidentally shaven off, due to my mistake of being trimmer happy (always used the guard with the trimmer ALWAYS). A sideburn is very important, it frames the face nicely, and keeps its from going roundish, if you are chubby like me with a chubby face. Another that suddenly appear is the black patch on my right cheek, the side burn seem to hide it or camoflauge it. Weird... Another nice thing, my contact lenses did not cause my eyes to be red at the end of the day. This problem is further augmentated that I have coloured lenses. I just can't stop liking my Geo lenses Magic Color 3 tone lenses. It looks grey, green and brown at certain times of day, almost like how a friend of a friend who has naturally hazel eye, and he is 100% Malay. WICKED!!! How about blemish free skin, and shine free skin. Perhaps is the mild weather today and that I washed my face with water a few hours ago, and that I finally found a sunblock that is not greasy. Sadly, the sunblock is no longer sold in Malaysia, or at least at every god damn pharmacy I went in. Too bad I got a facial hair above my lips that looks like adolescent boy or girl, which has to be shaven off because its looks damn ridiculous. I don't it grew anymore than it did when I was 12. Eh.. can't have everything right..

*although everything seem to fall apart, other things seem to come together....

Focus

How do people keep focus? I always look track of my focus. The only thing that is focuses is my contact lenses helping my eyes to focus. Even that is creating problems now. Sometimes my eyes get dry and the contact lenses fall out. I manage to pop it back it without the usage of a mirror and solution as long as my eyes were watery. After years of wearing it, you kinda have the feeling of putting in your lenses in an emergency, although a mirror is a huge help.

These 1 year lenses are okay, but somehow I can’t shake the feeling that it would only last a few months, based on my last experience with a 1 year lense. Well at least, these lenses are cheap, like RM35 a pair, instead of like RM180 a pair. I just have to ensure I vigorously rub the lenses during cleaning to remove the protein.

I do hope I don’t get an eye infection again. People who wear contact lenses are more likely to get all sorts of eye infection, due to us, putting in, a foreign object into our eyes and have it there all day long.

Although colored lenses are fake, at least I still need to wear them to correct my vision. These are Geo Lenses from Korea called Magic Color 3 tone, in grey. Trust me, they only appear during flash photography, you can barely see them in real life, which is good or bad depending on the effect you want. The lenses are small, around 14.0mm, compared to Freshlook 14.5 mm lenses or the current trend of wearing 16.0mm lenses. I find them okay, since they are not as comfortable as my Softlens 38, since the color pigments due block the oxygen content a bit. It does depend on your eyes though.

Team Edward or Team Jacob

This is another contest from Nuffnangs that they do periodically to promote movies and stuff. So I decided to enter it and hope that I will get tickets too. They asked a question whether you like Edward or Jacob. So its basically are you Team Edward of Team Jacob.

Aiyak!

You made the contest into “are you in Team Edward or Team Jacob”? T_T

this is girl biased!

feminism!!

*what to expect, this is a girls novel………………………………………………

Despite all the fascination or obssesion of Edward and Jacob, to be frank I find the vampire life much more interesting than a shape shifters life. Yes boys and girls Jacob is a shape shiter, they just conviniently change into a wolf, so in theory, they actually they can turn into some other animals, but their ancestors changed into wolves first, so each generation followed that choice.

Back to the point,

Yeah, I think being an immortal vampire with hard marble skin, increased strength, increased agility and becoming unrealisticly good looking is very cool. If you are in luck you might have special powers other vampires don’t such as Edwards emphatic powers which is basically being able to read people thoughts.

A vampire is cool, look how insanely rich they are since they live such long lives, they buy collectors item and sell it off. Sure we have that killing humans and drinking their blood, but come on, you can always choose to become a vegetarian and drink animal blood only. Besides in order to live in your own Coven, you do need to drink animal blood versus human blood, unless you are a Volturi.


Besides, if I was a vampire, I think Jane would be awesome as my mate. She is so evil and sadistic, its so attractive. Maggie from the Irish conven would cool too with her lie detector
I would love to be a vampire and have my own special ability. I would probably study a lot just like the Cullens do, I’ll have so many bachelor, master and PhD certificates, that it would crazy. All the time in the world to study and all the time to recreate your identity.

How could you not like being a vampire?

Besides, its actually easy to become Twilight vampire in real life

You just need a pair of Freshlook Colorblends in Honey for that I am vegetarian vampire look, wear those whitening mask to lightening your skin weekly, use Oil Of Olay Total Effects that has sparkles in them that makes your skin glimmers in the sun and drive the latest Volvos in the market. You can get all of these in Malaysia now. Both Volvo’s the silver C30 in the first movie and blac XC60 in the second movie is available in Malaysia.

Tell me how the heck are you going to turn into a werewolf? fur coats? wolf suits?

So I guess I am in Team Edward and I will tell Benjamin from the Egyptian coven and freeze, burn, bury or suffocate the wolves to death (Benjamin has the power to control Earth, Fire, Water and Air)

Go EDWARD aaaaaaah (screams and jumps like a girl)

FreshLook Illuminate Daily Disposable Lenses

My 3 days trial of Fresh Look Illuminate just arrived today at my house. This One Day Disposable lenses are made to be worn for one day before you throw it away. These lenses makes your black or dark brown eyes bigger and bolder. The diameter of the lenses is 13.8 mm with a base curve of 8.6. Since the diameter is quite small compared to FreshLook Colorblends (14.5) and even smaller compared to these Korean made, big eye lens (16mm). The small size is much more comfortable to wear in my point of view, but each to their own iris.

These lenses are said to me made for Asian eyes since the ring around it enhances the size of the iris a bit. You know, when you see babies, they have really big iris which makes them adorable

I haven't tried it yet, but I need a day that is suitable to wear this. This are not like my Softlens 38, which I can wear for more than 12 hours and use for 30 days, but these are One Day lenses. A friend of mine said that One Day lenses are drier compared to 2 weeks, 4 weeks, or monthly disposable lenses. So till the day I will wear it. The 3 day trial is over, but there is a 1 day trial lense with the chance to win RM500 weekely and 30 days worth of FreshLook Illuminates. Check out FreshLook website

*I should do more review of contact lenses, other than cars, this topic seemed to be popular for people in search engines.

What Do You Think?

What do you think happened here

• Came whoring as usual
• I lost one of my contact lenses
• I was trying on Freshlook ColorBlends Honey.
• I was feeling Twilight vampirish by getting the similar shade of their eyes.
• I decided to get attention by just wearing one colored lens and one clear lens

Nope, I actually was putting on the Freshlook Colorblends Honey, when my older sister was running like the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, exclaiming that she is late and wanted me to move my car. With one clear, colored iris and another blurred black iris I had to move the car before she totally looses it.

Iris

Hmm I was stumbling on some youtube videos when I stumbled upon on this video. Its about a African race baby with sky blue eyes. His eyes is completely natural even though both of his parents were African, with black eyes. Some say its just a genetic defect or a type of albinism that affects the eye only. I don't think its that weird for African people to have blue eyes. That guy is CSI Las Vegas has it, the "bitch" Willamina in Ugly Betty or better know as Vanessa William, has blue eyes, that guy in Beyonce Halo music video has blue eyes. Some African tribes do green eyes naturally, its just the little error in nature that us humans seem to appreciated it. These error include firey red hair and piercing green eyes of the Irish and Scottish people. It just does not stop with African people, some asian people were also born with naturally lighter color eyes. I seen a chinese guy at the cyber cafe with Amber eyes, amber is the color of your cars turning signal. I seen lots of people in Perlis with naturally amber eyes. Its very appealing. . My English teacher said, her Malay Brunei friend has green eyes. Wicked!. I never thought I would see is a Malay with green eyes, but I did recently. My friend's friend, has green eyes, okay his eyes were hazel, but hazel eyes can change constantly. I swear his eyes changed from amber to greenish brown. It was mesmerizing. If I wanted to change my eye color, I just put on some Freshlook Colorblends contact lenses. To me these are really the most natural looking lense on the market, because they blend in with your natural eyes color. I could wear green, amethyst, or brown, and most of the time people won't noticed it. Unlike other brands, they really make your eyes look scary because eyes naturally don't look that bright, even if you have blue eyes. Another video in youtube showed me people who had colored Iris implanted in behind their cornea !!!! yes, you can surgically change your eye color. Erghh, luckily these people are not promoting, instead they were warning the side effects of putting these lens into your eyes. Now they had to take it out, one at a time, because they ran out of money. So they walk with two different color eyes for a few months before they could raise the money to take the surgery again. Apparently Panama is the only country in the whole wide world who does this type of surgery. This is the website http://www.newcoloriris.com/index.html. They say its looks more natural than color contact. Natural my A@!, they look fake as hell, go figure. It like wanting to go blonde, instead of just bleaching your hair blonde, you go for a scalp transplant. Ergh.. This is scary just like fake boobs, extending limbs and so on.

However to be fair, there are people who needs to fake iris, the fake boob and limb extension, and we must not be judgemental to them. I wear color contacts sometimes and color my hair sometimes, but its something not permanent, and I could go natural when I choose too. Its fun to change it sometimes, as long as it safe, and my family does not oppose it, its fine with me. But having to go under the knife? and a procedure which is not FDA approved nor done else where? Hmm talk about a risk, and as they say beauty is pain. I rather have something I could turn back into something normal again if I choose to, then choosing something permanent. There is video here about a guy who so excited with his new blue iris, but in the end after a lots of problem and hearing stories of his friends going blind, he took them out. Its quite scary actually. I have been in similar situation with my color contact before. I used these permanent lenses but I was a cheapskate and did not use a protein remover, in the end what happend I had this bumps forming under my eye lids, that grab the contact lenses, which will pull the lenses up after I blink. No more, no permanent lense for me, I am sticking with good ol disposable lenses. I also make sure I rub my leanses when cleaning them to remove the protein deposits.

I could have light colored eyes too, naturally. How? Go live in place where there is winter, your skin, hair and eyes, go lighter in the winter, I had amber eyes in the winter. So cool.. but then really, real iris changes, and sometimes my I do get the amber eyes, albeit in the hot sun.. :p. Eyes are the windows to the soul, so any eye color is beautiful, however just like windows, we can change the original curtains if we wanted to ;)







This has nothing to with the eye, but I love the song Iris, by the goo goo dolls :D
