Tween lip-n-nose

This is sooooooooooo sick! I mean just because you are inquisitive and NEED to do it 'for the sake of science(!!!) Yeah, you got it right! Ros did it 'for the sake of science'(as if she couldn't find a BETTER reason). She does NOT seem to be ugly (at least to me) and as far as requirement (or NEED) is concerned; it's a big NIL. And YET... She goes through allllll that botox trouble, pricking her lips with that humongous needle. (yucks!!!)
To think that botox is a fungus and is considered to be the most terrible weapon of biological warfare (after Anthrax and Small Pox)!
And look what people are wilfully doing with it!!!



I don't understand what's all the fuss about beauty! Honestly! Who'd want a brainless guttersnipe with 'nice juicy lips' for a secretary/employer/girl-friend/wife? Of course, such a boss is kinda fine for the men, but then she'd need a lot of bank-balance or parental 'support' ;) for that! (How else would she REACH that bossy position! Please note: only NORMAL cases have been taken into account! No Holly-Bolly-Tolly (or ANY othey '..lly' bizness here)
Anyway, as I was saying... First Ros gets fatter lips with dabs of botox, and then Wendy (below) removes extra cartilages to have a smaller NOSE!!! (as if she really had one Pinocchio-style). I'll include that video too coz I loved that inside-OT scenes, especially the way she did NOT fall asleep during the operation and chose to babble.



Footnote.
1)Note this(from here):
Botulinum toxin is a group of related, highly poisonous protein agents... Death occurs in 80 percent of an exposed population after one to three days... blocks neuromuscular conduction by binding to receptor sites on motor nerve terminals and by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine. Symptoms at high exposure levels can include respiratory distress and respiratory paralysis... from difficulty in walking and swallowing and impaired vision and speech to convulsions. Ultimately... paralysis of the respiratory muscles, suffocation, and death - all within a few hours or days, depending on the amount of toxin ingested.

2)Now Note this (from Official Web Site of BOTOX® Cosmetic)
Serious heart problems and serious allergic reactions have been reported rarely. If you think you’re having an allergic reaction or other unusual symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing, call your doctor immediately. The most common side effects following injection include temporary eyelid droop and nausea.

After going through all this I wondered if people actually have all that or more. This is what I found out in a forum.
"She was severly dehidrated and was admitted to the hospital...always very tired and vomits all the time... Its about the 40 day mark for her... Last night was the first night she was able to sleep through the night. She was suffering with a little insomnia... I cant believe people are not told that this could happen before the doctor injects. Where ever I look on the net places claim there are no side effects and its a 100% safe. Something has to be done to let people know that there life may be ruined for up to 12 months or more."

Well... Impressed anyone???

On second thought, they have done wonders too don't they?


My first thought when I saw those pics:
I had heard 'Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is by choice'. What do they want next? To make the 'Growing Old' bit optional as well?

La La La

Browsing through the net for a suitable ABBA karaoke landed me on this site. Cool! I thought. Its got midi karaokes of some of my faVourite songs. Muaaah. Long live K-music!

Talking about music, allow me to direct you to this website-> A place to blow off the respect you had (if any) for most Bollywood Music Directors. Although, Mr. Rahman still manages to stand out with a clean record, even he seems to have been bitten by the plagiarism-bug once-or-twice. With people like Sandeep Chowta lifting 'Pyar Tune Kya Kiya' from Excorcist and Pritam being 'inspired' to make Dhoom Machale.... one would rather shut up about the immense talent that lies in the Hindi Music Industry.
And about Anu Malik? Its "Plagiarism at its worst!"

My suggestion: itwofs.com is a MUST visit!!!

The sham called V'Day

A forwarded mail led me to this noteworthy article about the true meaning of Valentines Day and its 21st-century significance. I'll quote some lines:

"...Valentine’s Day was meant to bring a new beginning to a relationship. It was the culmination of true love into marriage, a promise to stay together forever.

The true meaning of Valentine’s Day has been appallingly exploited... A new date on each Valentine’s Day has become the new motto and expensive gifts a trademark... Valentine’s Day, today, has become a symbol of flirtatiousness and the promotion of ostentation... This day suffers the derision of the word love, the very foundation of Valentine’s Day.

The only people genuinely benefiting on this day are the poor farmers in Pune ... due to intermediate trade of flowers... The only thing that drives youngsters on this day... eroticism and infatuation... is greater than their love for anybody else. We can safely conclude that we have succeeded in aping the West completely... from where there is no returning."

It is very clear that the author is making a conscious effort to save the 'ideal LOVE' from Oblivion's Curse. Nowadays, most people measure love by an Archies card, candlelight dinner or a City-Centre game-show. In fact there's this famous Bengali song by Parashpathor saying
"Bhalobasha maane Archies galary"
(I adore the song, but can't help thinking that the song writer probably didn't understand where he was heading with his concept of love!)

First, I'll praise Shireen's article because I liked the way she wrote it. That done, let me point out a few things I failed to agree with:

1)"culmination of true love into marriage"

hmmm... LOVE culminating into MARRIAGE...presumably, the diagramatic representation should be something like this:

If you ask me (and most other 'modernites'), this will be a more respectable representation of the above:

...cheerios all. I know I'm inviting criticism. My views are purely subjective in nature.

2)"marriage, a promise to stay together forever"
That doesn't seem to require much explanation. After the kind of joke marriage has been turned into (thanks to celebrities internationale who think its okay to marry and file a divorce simply because they 'feel' like!!!) its rather wierd thinking that for a generation which (apparently) laughs at the concept of serious love, any serious marriage should be of much importance! (Don't get me wrong! Although I don't really believe in marriages 'lasting forever' and all that, I do believe in love; and I mean SERIOUS LOVE.)

3)"from where there is no returning"

I find this statement too decisive to be accepted without questioning its cause. Its fine to write about the bulk of GenX who weigh love on the basis of material possessions, blame it on consumerism if you wish. But what about the many who speak of love solely because of its emotional value, because of 'the way it makes you feel', because of the passion-tear-comfort factor associated with it! Another left out aspect (I think) is the not-romantic angle of love. The love that exists between siblings, between parents-and their wards, between friends; what about that? I'm just one of the many 'this-generation' people who would be very happy just to get a call from his/her loved one on V'Day! I'm simply one of those many for whom 'every day is Valentines day'.

Does it, in that case, point toward a path of no-return? Does it necessarily symbolise blind faith in Western Culture?

Last but not least, check out these two Valentines Day cards from Postsecret. My favourite ones. The essence of Valentines Day could not have been more different!

3) "I'm having my wisdom teeth out on Valentines Day. That way, I'll be too drugged up and in physical pain, to notice any subtle feelings of loneliness. Wish me luck!"

Orkut: Videos up there

Some massive website they've made. One money-spinning, time-wasting machine!
These people seem to be updating every thing on their site, except that "he-using-my-pic" thingy (shame! shame!)
Recently they've put up a 'videos' option. One can only guess what ELSE they newspapers might have to print in the near future.
Anyway. Personally, I was very excited about the 'videos' option. I've put up my FAVVVVOurite song 'The CuppyCake Song' and its just toooooooooo cute. I guarantee any person with a functioning heart, and not suffering from constipation or family feuds is bound to like it! So my advice to you: if you're on my friend list (that'll ensure you know which one my profile is!) then you SHOULD check it out (an absolute MUST added).... Of course, the more tiring-boring option is to find it yourself on google/You-tube or the other hundred Video-sites!!!
oNe more thing: I've just included my first love Boyzone (No Matter What) and a 'Crazy Frog' too.
Thats all for now. Till next post...
