Fashion critic?

The cat is giving her opinion on the state of the union of America's remodeling and make-over shows. While in LA, I watched several makeover shows and I must say that sometimes, the experts are idiots.

One example is a show where the ex-girlfriend of a married guy redesigns the room. One suggestions is that the outline of the face of the ex-girlfriend should be used on a throw pillow. Hmm, is this really smart? Forever after, the wife will look at the room that was redone by an ex? Hmm, ground for divorce in several years, I think.

The cat also mentioned make-up. Now, I don't wear make up. Although if I did, I certainly would learn how to apply it and what color shades should go with brown skin. The SO and I have discussed this at length. As a photographer, I have seen way too many Pin@ys with fucked up make-up. Not just messed up make-up. Fucked up make-up. It's so fucked up that I would rather see LaToya's boobs pop out when Justin Timberlake pulled a piece of clothing.

We traced the fault with the make-up to Pin@ys following the advice of Caucasian experts in magazines like Vogue and Cosmopolitan. Inevitably, the advice is for a Norwegian face or someone descended from England or Germany. Since the width of the eye and the nose is different when comparing Europeans and Asians, the Asians eventually get fucked up results. For example, when plucking eyebrows, there is a measurement to look for the break in the eyebrow. Guess what! The measurement fails for Pin@ys because our eyes are larger than Caucasian eyes.

And let's add into this fray the use of mascara and eyeliner. Folks, Pin@ys don't need it because our eyes are huge and the follicles are black. We are beautiful in our natural state. When blondes are real blondes, they need mascara because their eyes tend to hide into their face and there's a weird fuzzy looking shit in their eyes where eyelashes are supposed to be. Yup, blonde eyelashes are freaky as hell!!

Oh, and let's not get started with the lipstick. All that weird color is great for someone pale. But with someone with brown skin, forgettaboutit! It just makes you look like you were sucking on a big ass lollipop.

Hmm, I'm exhausted with the ranting and raving. maybe I'll follow the cat and throw away some knicerbracks.
