Cosmetically Enhanced > So what?

....And the Big Deal being?

As a model, I get this a lot.

" Oh, I've seen him many years ago. He looked different then. He's cosmetically enhanced for sure."

All that gossipy snide borne out of people with jealousy and low self esteem.


Firstly, I've nothing against those who have. To each their own.

Secondly, I mean c'mon, we're almost a decade into the New Millennium and surely we're way pass the Iron Age.

(We should be in the Bronze Age by now, no? ^^)


So who are YOU to judge? Who are YOU to criticize?

I'd rather Pamela Anderson over Rosie O Donnell ANYTIME.

Q


> Did you hear it from my mouth that I've had some done? NO? Then shut da F up, you toad.

Velvet D'Amour

Velvet d'Amour is arguably the World's First plus-sized Supermodel.

She who has modelled for Jean Paul Gaultier , John Galliano and a slew of other designer labels, and has appeared in the pages of numerous magazines world wide such as Bella , Choc , and most notably, Vogue .

Tall, beautiful, curvy, photogenic, confident and full of personality, she started out as a waif model just like any other out there.

There was even a time she suffered from eating disorders.
Struggling with self-esteem issues and other emotional turmoils, took a hold on her life.

All that behind her, these days, she's positive and full of vibrance.

Fashion and photography has always been a big part of Velvet's life. Especially the latter which she continues to indulge in even today.

So, when one fine day in late 2006, the opportunity came for her to strut her stuff once more, when the fashion industry began to turn up their snobbish noses at the unhealthily thin girls who were flooding the catwalks, Velvet was upfront and center.

(Tyra Banks' 'So What?' movement sure helps)

Strutting her stuff down the runway, to thunderous applause, her career as a model, ironically, only then , really took off.

Back then, she was but another struggling model in a sea of anonymous young girls who were hopelessly waiting and seriously starving.

Today, Velvet's FLAB-ULOUSLY BEAUTIFUL.

"Everyone's Beautiful"- JPG, indeed.


Q

Skinny but FAT

I refer to the ST Urban issue (Thurs, 13 March 2008) .


Its headlining article was about annoying fat deposits that won't go away even for gym bunnies and celebrities.

Look, as much as this is a personal-trainer and plastic surgeon-directed promo masquerading as a coffee table-banter article, this is a sad day in the already sunk-low reputation of Urban.

Celebrities spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for personal trainers, personal cooks, pills , diets and plastic surgery. And are still accused of 'Arm Scallops', 'Neck Wattle, 'Bat Wings', 'Buffalo Humps' and 'Fat Knees'.

How about Mere Mortals who have neither the perfect genes to begin with nor that million dollar job and product endorsement deal?

Will any amount of gyming help?(If they can even afford a gym membership or a condo) Will these poor lads and ladies have the means to afford an arm and a leg just to rid a bit of Tummy? Or god-forbid (!) 'Arm Scallops, 'Neck Wattle', 'Bat Wings', Buffalo Humps' and 'Fat Knees'?

C'mon! Havent' we all have better issues to deal with? Like Education, Moral upbringing, complicated relationships, job challenges and stuff?

It's articles like these that send millions around the world on a spiral decent on personal self-worth and bending over toilet bowls and throwing up after meals almost a trend itself.

>>>

Whether plastic surgery is the New Black (magic) to perfection, is not up to me to comment. To each his or her own.

But people who earn that much and have so much disposable income in the first place, normally don't bother about having six-packs or flab-less arms.

They are too busy fattening their bank balance.

Q

" Will these poor lads and ladies have the means to afford an arm and a leg just to rid a bit of Tummy?"

No Phuture ahead

There is light only at the End of the Tunnel. Not along it...
Straight ahead is Zouk. To the right is the Toilet. To the left is Phuture.


"To the LEFT . To the LEFT.... "

When you pay a lot to enter Velvet Underground and Zouk, there is just NO REASON WHY WE WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO PHUTURE.

What a bad experience.

No more.

The END is Near. No more Phuture. Nothing.

As Dumb as(s) a Playboy Bunny

When you have to convince Someone that you're nice and you care for them, or worse, expect you to do so, they are prolly not worth your effort or time.

Such people , are usually no big loss not knowing them.

Either you're genuinely forthcoming, or ship out.

Period. And Peace out .



" I'll be sympathic to you for being ...such a fool. But not emphathetic to you b'cos I had showed real concern and cautioned you prior. You asked for it. You had it coming."

" I tried to protect you from those people. I was at your Aid. Now that you've been taken advantaged of, girl, what more can I say to you?"

Tyra Banks and 'SO WHAT?' campaign

Was watching the mocha-skinned , green-eyed Supermodel's Emmy-award winning talk show today, and the episode was on 'So What?' ..... it hails MAJOR Self-Esteem .

It's all about being satisfied, secure and happy with oneself. (Then again. one look at Tyra and it'll send most tumbling back into the closet beneath the stairs in self-withdrawal)

" You may not be the best, but you've given your best and the best you can be"... along those lines . (Don't quote here, it's all my OWN words , ok?)

Nowadays, 'less you've been orbiting around Earth for the last 5 years,
TYRA = SELF-ESTEEM QUEEN.

Yeash, totally. The message was as straight forward as can be and I was certainly enjoying myself watching the gorgoeus Tyra musing with her guests and audiences... not to mention the mob she created as a means to demonstrate to the Beverly Hills/Hollywood crowd "SO WHAT?"

SO WHAT: if you've got stretch marks (Jesus Christ!) , had plastic surgery (did that lady find it necessary to tell the whole world??), don't know what to say (over whelmed bimbo-alert.. but it's heartwarming ok?), not won American Idol ( Jennifer Hudson wannabe?) , has big teeth (seriously, that lil girl looked FINE; what she needs is therapy) , can't dance but wants to be a hip-hop babe ( now that white chick needs major skin tanning membership, pronto) ....

Yeash, the cleavage and mid-drift showing red tube tops provided sure helped to grab the attention too.

Especially when Miss Tyra was wearing one as well. :-)
(Oh she looked stunning! ... Yeah, indeed,. Call her fat and you CAN kiss MY A**)

I mean I wouldn't be half thrilled if it was Oprah wearing one though...


Hey, don't go all hatin on me yeash.... I mean... "SO WHAT?"
