Art And Porn

My problem is this - I dislike when I look at some art and I see all these paintings and drawings of what is without doubt a porn model posing from a magazine. Its just smut to me. I do not see it as art. My first reaction is to brush it aside. Not even considering the talents of the artist. And some of them are very talented! But I just see the painting or drawing and think that this guy or gal looks at a lot of porn. Then when others say how great the poses are and blah blah.. I think they too... Look at a lot of porn and their opinion now mean a lot less to me. Then there are those that actually buy it. Why not just rip the pages out of the books and take them to kinkos and blow them up? Frame it and rig that on your ceiling or above your bed. It would be a lot cheaper! I just do not think that it is the same thing. Just because you think you can... you can not pull your "I am an artist" card and tell me to love your scat. Now we can argue about this all the live long ...

Straight out of the book of virtues... PLEASE

Straight out of the Book of Virtues : PLEASE I was reading "The Book of Virtues" this morning and I came across this story. I loved it so much I wanted to share it with you all: Please Webster's defines our manners as our "morals shown in conduct." Good people stick to good manners, as this story from a turn-of-the-century reader reminds us. There was once a little word named "Please," that lived in a small boy's mouth. Pleases live in everybody's mouth, though people often forget they are there. Now, all Pleases, to be kept strong and happy, should be taken out of the mouth very often, so they can get air. They are like little fish in a bowl, you know, that come popping up to the top of the water to breathe. The Please I am going to tell you about lived in the mouth of a boy named Dick; but only once in a long while did it have a chance to get out. For Dick, I am sorry to say, was a rude little boy; he hardly ever remembered to say ...

Fake Eye Lashes?

For a while now I have been wanting to try false eye lashes. I know that there are products out there that are supposed to help your eyelashes grow thicker and longer (for example: ANEW Lash-Transforming Mascara + Serum )but I am always looking for "natural" ways also. So I did some internet searching. I found some advice and I wanted to share it with you. Of course this remedy does not work right away. It takes time. Kinda like selling Avon! Not an overnight success! hahaha... Anyways. All joking aside - One way to naturally get longer thicker lashes is to apply olive oil to your eyelids at night. Make sure you message the oil onto your eyelids so that it gets all over it. Make sure you do not get the oil in your eyes though. Do this before you go to bed at night and then wash it off in the mornings. I read that you can use other oils such as castor oil, and even Vasoline. However I am not really thinking that Vasoline is a very "natural" thing to put on your ...

Make up Tip of the DAY!

Straight from Allure ....... 1. Take it easy. "Overly made-up skin is a one-way ticket to looking a lot older than you actually are," says makeup artist Chrisanne Davis. "If you have dark circles or some sun spots, dot a tiny bit of concealer on the inner corners of your eyes or on those spots, not all over the place." And while letting your skin show through may seem counterintuitive, "the more skin you can see, the better," says makeup artist Sandy Linter. "As long as it is well-hydrated, fresh skin looks much more youthful than an obviously covered complexion."

Anti - Socail.

So this is one of those "confessions". Now I do not know if this will make me or break me but I have to be honest. Ready? Here goes... I am an anti soc! You can only imagine how hard that makes it for me to actually get out and sell Avon. They say I should be doing it door to door. I just can not seem to do it. This lady came to my door the other night selling some type of organic cleaner. She was very excited about her product. I kinda wanted it but I just did not have the means at the time to pay for it. She was telling me how pretty I was and how I was smart.. etc! She was "really" hard to say no to! She would not even let me get a word in edge wise. So now she was beginning to frustrated me. I just wanted to be able to say no and have her move on to the next where someone might say yes but not make her feel bad at the same time. Well when I finally got around to telling her no- she became rude! She started to speak to me as if I had offended her! I was really w...
