"the next andy warhol" bullshit

this pop artist todd goldman is getting a bunch of press right now and is being hailed as "the next andy warhol" but I am not into it. at first I thought it may be funny now I think he is trying to cash in on the whole "art made in microsoft paint that looks like it was done by a slightly retarded 5 year old but wait is really funny for people who want to be ironic" and I want to tell him to shut up. anyways you can read about how he is rich and apparently steals peoples' ideas and is an overall douchebag here


here are some examples of his work:






and I was in a bad mood b/c I thought he sucks so much but then when I was looking for a google image under "fat kids are harder to kidnap" I found this picture and then I laughed and felt better.

ugh

can I just say, if you are a "rock band from Connecticut" (The Last Goodnight), and you are "on tour promoting your first major release" that was released in august 2007 yet one of your singles (pictures of you) was a "pop radio hit" in summer 2007 you are not a fucking band.

you are a fake band put together by a record label in order to make money. so don't fucking make a video and have it played vh1 and mtv and talk about how hard you have worked in order to get where you are. nice mohawk douchebag.

can we just all talk about the troll babies for a second?

the troll babies, i.e. mary kate and ashley, really annoy me. they are not cute, do NOT have good fashion sense, and mostly suck. Also, mostly I am jealous that they have a lot of money and all they do is shop and drink starbucks and look like little monkeys. well maybe I'm not jealous about the monkey thing, but I AM about the other things! fuckin lucky troll sluts.


The only redeeming factor is in a recent article I read mary-kate said some days she wakes up and thinks, "I want to have white trash hair today." that's pretty sweet. but otherwise, they suck

love/hate - debwa goes inside benefit



I recently 'auditioned' for a job at the benefit cosmetics counter in selfridges on oxford street. Prior to this experience I had been enamored with the company's simple-retro styling and their pin-up esque packaging. Benefit seemed to be a good company for the 'tweens' group - not full of age defying make-up for forty-somethings like clarins or lancome, but not bubble gum sweet or poor quality like teen lines seen in drug stores.



At my job audition myself and three other girls were showed four products:

-Dr. Feel Good - a mattifying moisturizer

-You Rebel - a tinted moisturizer offered in one color that "adjusts to any skintone"

-Benetint - a liquid lip and cheek tint

-Highbeam - a liquid highlighter

we were brieftly taught about each one and how to apply it. Then we had to apply them on each other while reciting all the details we had just learned. After finishing, the supervisor put us on the floor in the main make-up department and we were told to traffic customers, or reel them in, the most important part of our job. I found this part extremely difficult, mostly because I absolutely hate it when people bombard me with new products and perfumes, it makes me not want to buy anything from them - ever! In the end I got about 5 people to sit down for me and i chatted with them and showed them my 4 'favorite products'. No one really bought anything, but I met a very nice woman from italy, two young asian girls, a little old lady, and a woman who never wore make-up ever, not even to her wedding! I had been working the floor for about 3 hours when the supervisor approached me and told me I wasn't putting enough emphasis on the company and the cosmetics and that i needed to be more pushy with people. She said I spent too much time putting the make-up on and talking to the customer, which is bad for business because i could be using that time getting more people to buy more things. Then she said the didn't think this job was for me.

I'm really disappointed in benefit. I thought they were a laid-back, anti-establishment sort of cosmetics company, a lot friendlier than the people at chanel or MAC, whom I often find to be a bit lofty. It didn't matter to them how well I could do make-up - most of the other girls at the interview had no make-up experience at all! The items they gave us to use required hardly any skill at all. Even the supervisor was wearing badly blended blush and took little or no care applying products to the clients faces. No one seemed to really care about what they were doing or the people they were serving, just about making money. I do love benefit's cosmetics, but it may be a while now before I shop there again.

when gwen stefani didn't suck

here's a little flashback of when gwen was cool and orange-county cuteness, before she turned all high-fashion douche-y
