You Shall Be Banished.

I got selfish and wrote about fashion&beauty stuff the last two posts, and some readers have complained that they rather see me bitching than talk about nails. Therefore, it's time for me to sharpen my claws and bring back the original purpose of this blog. Don't worry guys, I'm back.

Today, let's talk about celebrities(and wanna bes) that needs to stay in 2010 and hopefully never appear again in future years. The ones that needs to disappear and be BANISHED from the media and our sights. The ones that seriously need to go away.

1. Sarah Palin&her offsprings, and their baby daddy.
What exactly is Sarah Palin now? I mean I know she's a politician and a failed vice-president candidate, but now she's got so many identities I don't even know what she is anymore. Reality star? Stage mom? Delusional governor who thinks she will be the next president? But the one thing I do know is, all of these identities have one thing in common - she's extremely obnoxious. To me, she's a disgrace to the female gender because she's an absolutely horrible role model, and an equally horrible example of a modern intellectual woman. The fact that she thought our ally was NORTH Korea is just simply unacceptable, that's something you just can't possibly mix up. I guess she thought Kim Jong-Il was the dictator of South Korea all along. Oh yea, she's a pretty terrible mother too. Same thing goes to her daughter Bristol and on-again-off-again baby daddy Levi. Oh, and her younger daughter Willow who's involved in a scandal lately for using homophobic slurs towards someone on Facebook. What a big merry family, definitely a strong opponent against the Cyrus&Lohan families in the running of "America's Trashiest Family" title.

Like Barbara Bush said, Sarah Palin is very happy in Alaska, and she hopes she stays there. Yes, that would make all of us in mainland much merrier. So please, Mrs. Palin, grab your DWTS daughter, and go back to where you belong.

Imagine if Sarah Palin actually got elected? -Shivers-

2. The Lohans
This picture must be ancient..
I don't know which member of this family annoys me more. Lindsay is a mess, but at least she's finally progressing in rehab now, or so it seems to be. I feel bad for her because she's born to such unqualified parents, who does nothing but milk their children's fame as much as they can. I've always doubted the love Dina and Michael for their kids, because I simply don't see it. All these two ever do is fame-whore and sell details of their child's private life for money. Also the fact that Dina parties with Lindsay is probably one of the major causes of what she is today. Funny thing is this lady even came out with a parenting book, like seriously? Act your age and stop clubbing with your daughter, and stop going on talk shows the morning after your daughter gets arrested or put into rehab. I honestly don't think Lindsay will ever bounce back like Britney because she's less fortunate to have parents who actually take their responsibilities.

I know a lot of people, like me, who are so sick of seeing Lindsay on the news when there are much more important things going on in the world that we should be worrying about. I also know a lot of people who are disgusted by the joke of a sentence that she received considering the severity of her crime. If a normal citizen did the same things she did, they'll probably get at least a year. But I guess special treatment for the special lady right?

&What's with the younger daughter looking like she's 30 when she's 16? Is she going to get botox when she's 20? Just go away.

3. Miley Cyrus
Miley, Miley, Miley..You just can't wait 'til you are 18 can't you.

I think Miley is a cute girl, but that's pretty much it. She has such an annoying personality that just makes it impossible for me to like her. According to Ms. Miley, she's a straight up hardcore country rocker and she's just too good for pop songs. Wait, isn't she a pop singer? Oh but then she also says her songs aren't written by her and she just sings them because she has to, which also contradicts with her next statement where she claims her music isn't "shallow" like all the other pop songs out there. She's above Jay Z, Britney, and every other shallow pop musicians in the industry, which is why she never listens to any of these inferior fellows' songs. All hail Queen Miley.
I'm 21 and I've never taken a picture where I'm pulling my shirt down just so everyone can see my bra, I feel like such a prude now.

From posing nude at the ripe age of 15 to wearing outfits that get more and more revealing each day, I think she might just turn out to be worse than Lindsay Lohan. All these Disney teen stars are such closeted freaks, they sure know how to pick them.

4. Justin Bieber
I am proud to say I am not a victim of Bieber-Fever. This kid has talent, but I can't stand his voice. I also don't find him crazy-cute like all the tween girls do. To me he's just an overrated kid who still has a lot to improve, especially his attitude. His career isn't going to last very long if he continues to be his cocky bratty self, therefore I'll keep my fingers crossed.

5. Taylor Momsen
I hate her and her character on Gossip Girl equally. Isn't she banished by Blair? Freaking disappear already! Oh Taylor, you are just so edgy, so badass, so above it all, can you please just go back to your punk rock edgy planet and spare us the misery of your never-ending raccoon eyes and ho-rrific outfits? Why are these young girls so full of themselves these days? Whatever happened to being humble?

6. The Ever-Expanding List of Cheating Celebrity Husbands

I guess having a gorgeous wife just isn't enough for these douchebags. Having just one mistress also isn't enough either. Shame on you all!

Let's Get Nasty.

As the days get colder, my nose's struggle to breathe gets tougher. I never adjust to cold weather well, and probably never will. My dream is to live in 80+ degrees every day, and anything below 60 is considered winter for me. Therefore fall is pretty much non-existant in my books, but that doesn't stop my boots&sweaters craze. My boots hunger was satisfied by a great pair of Pour La Victoire Malorie, and hopefully I'll be getting a new pair of Uggs before the 10 degrees weather hits. So now I have to find sweaters..


I'm a big fan of Nasty Gal, even though I never ordered anything from there yet. Maybe it's because of the pretty skinny models with bold eyebrows and super long stems, or maybe because it's like UO's twin, but nastier and prettier (and slightly cheaper, occasionally). Urban Outfitters is notorious for making their models look far less attractive than they actually are in real life, or just using unattractive models in general. If you compare Rachel Ballinger's Bloomingdale's ads to the ones in UO, it's kind of hard to believe they are the same person, thanks to the gloomy, lazy vibe UO's going for. Nasty Gal has the same few pretty girls who have the ability of making ugly clothes look better so you get tricked into buying them, classic marketing.

I think I've gotten over my floral obsession, now that summer's over. So now it's all about leopard prints and sequins, and both can easily look very tacky. I'm proud of myself for adding so many new elements to my closet this year and experimenting with patterns instead of sticking to my old solid-color only rule.

Nasty Gal vs. Urban Outfitters

1. Lucca Couture's Sequin Sweatshirt

This one really didn't catch my eyes when I was browsing at UO, but it was a completely different story when I saw it on NG. By the way, UO also stated in the description that this is one of the limited edition items that's only available at their store, fail.

2. BB Dakota Corning Boyfriend Knit

I always thought BB Dakota's overpriced, and I stand behind my opinion. Even though it looks thin and unable to keep me warm, but I still want it.

3. Ribbed Wool Sweater
Mmmm, wool...I like anything wool.

3. Brandy&Melville Rother Sweater
Keep it safe or go wild ?

Now time to work extra hard to make that money so I can have a billion sweaters.

Polish-Crazed.

I've been nail polish crazy for the past few days, so I decided to make a list of the polishes that I want. Even though I'm always extremely lazy to re-do my nails regardless of how ridiculous chipped they are, but it doesn't stop me from wanting my nails to be covered in all these beautiful colors. I'm not a fan of super girly or neon colors, and my narcissistic self believes that my selection of nail colors always fall under the category of being chic.

Luckily, one of my best features are my hands, and I'm not being conceited here because I get compliments every time I go to a nail salon. My mom also suggested once that I should become a hand model, and my dad used to always say "you have the perfect beautiful hands for a pianist, but you failed". I also have this nail OCD where I'm constantly starring at my nails and picking flaws, they just need to be in a perfect shape and all corners/lengths have to be the same. Which is why I always carry a nail filer with me and I just file away whenever I get the chance.

Oh yeah, I also don't like nail art, especially the ones that involve endless rhinestones/crystals/bow ties/flowers. I like my nails in one simple solid shade (or classic french), perfectly filed, and without the shimmer.

How am I going to do my dishes with all these things on my nails ?

1. OPI Kreme de la Kremlin.
I originally wanted the Chanel 491 Rose Confidentiel, but then I found the OPI dupe. I don't see why I should spend $30 on the Chanel one, and I've always been a fan of OPI. In fact I only buy OPI polishes :] I've always loved dusty rosey colors, and I liked this one the most out of all the similar swatches.

2. RBL Bruised.


I'm interested in trying a reddish brown shade, perfect for the cold seasons. I've never used RBL since I'm a polish noob, but the reviews seem to be great and its price is up there with designer brands.

3. RBL Grunge

I think this might just be the exact gray-taupe color I've been searching for, especially because time and time again I kept on picking up ones that are just too purple.

4. LancĂ´me Le Gris L'Wren.

This one is actually more blue than gray, the picture doesn't do the shade much justice. However, I'm not too sure about the metallic part. Which leads me to...
5. YSL Stormy Grey
I like, but only the nails.
