So I'm always looking for great, unique, fun gift ideas!! Something no one has or has even thought of wanting! Some might call these useless gifts.... lol.... but I think they're extra special because someone took the time to find something and customize/specialize it for the recipient!
With that said, my boyfriend is the luckiest SOB I know!! I've given him all sorts of great gifts! But the one below was one of my faves! Through a website called MyDavinci (www.mydavinci.com) I got this 4 panel Andy Warhol inspired pic of us for Christmas!! I knew this was his favourite picture with the 2 of us in it, so I got them to make one up for me on a 14X14 canvas! For an extra $5, they sent me a copy of the artwork before mailing it to me and
I was allowed to make any suggestions or comments until they got it exactly like I wanted it! And delivery was quick! It was absolutely beautiful! I couldn't have been happier with the product! I highly suggest it!

Men men men men manly men men men.......
If you know which show I'm talking about just from the title of this entry, well, you my friend are as big a fan as I am!
I love 'Two and a Half Men'! I think the show is brilliant!! I love the cast, it's writers, their story lines and plots! So needless to say, I was really disappointed when I heard that Charlie Sheen wants out!
I love Charlie Sheen! Ever since he played "Ricky Vaughn" in "Major League" the movie! He's funny, he's cocky, he's by no means attractive at all, but watching him play a bachelor playboy who's love of bowling shirts I will never understand, on the show for the last 10 years has made him a playful, fun, and light character! I don't even really get how he gets all those chicks wearing Bermuda shorts and socks up to the ankle! But nonetheless, one I like to tune into and watch make mistakes over and over again!
Apparently, after his recent stint in rehab for threatening his wife with a knife, was that it?, he decided that he wants to go back to movies and wants to leave the show! He's reportedly asked for $1.5 million dollars PER episode!!!
That's more then Seinfeld, Frasier and the cast of Friends!! All those lovable characters got booted off their shows for asking for more!
Now, if he's asking for this, knowing they won't give it to him and this is a way out, ok... fine! I suppose!
BUT if he will stay on, if by a miracle, the Emmy award winning, top rated prime time show's producers decide to take him up on his offer, well I think that's just INSANITY!!
Tell me! WHO deserves $1.5 million dollars for a week of work!? WHO???!!
NO ONE that's who!!!!
I love you Charlie Sheen, but hit the road Jack...... and don't come back no more!!

Fashion - Size 0 versus Size 12
Recently, V Magazine had photographer Terry Richardson shoot a fashion spread with two models, size 0 Jacquelyn Jablonski, and size 12 Crystal Renn. Both ladies were fashioned, styled and made to pose the same way, to prove that no matter at what size, beauty is beauty!
check out this article and the amazing photos of the photo shoot - http://fashionista.com/2009/12/does-size-matter/?img=4
I love that they did this! How empowering is it to size 12 women knowing that they can, in fact, look just as good as those size 0 girls in the fashion magazines!
Crystal Renn is a plus size model - I hate that they call a size 12 plus size! That is the standard size for a woman in North America! - who has written a memoir of her career! At age 17, she began to model and developed an eating disorder from trying to look like a very petite and unnatural version of her true self! After becoming quite sick from it, she took some time off and embraced her new body! This girl was made to be a size 12! So why fight it? She took up what the fashion world calls plus size modeling and is now the most famous Ford plus size model!

She is quite inspiring! Daring to do even nude shoots just to prove to the world that bigger can be beautiful! That women have curves! and that with all the right make-up, accessories, styling and posing, a plus size model can rock any outfit as well as her size 0 model mate! It's nice to have such a powerful voice out there in the fashion world! Let's hope she starts a new trend of models.... women who look like everyday women!
Below is a pic of her and designer Jean Paul Gaultier in a dress he designed especially for her in his Spring collection show in 2006!
