This must be some kind of sad, cruel joke

//V's double bill size issue featuring Gaby and Dakota

THIS MUST BE SOME KIND OF JOKE.
I usually like V and read it quite abit but this gets on my nerves.
Where do I start with this cover? It might seem like a celebration of "One size fits all" but it is not. I'm not gonna touch on race here because that is way too sensitive.

1) Big Love has hair fanning away from her face and Little Lady has her hair framing her face.
Plus, Little Lady has BumpIt Big Hair which makes her face look even smaller.
Desired effect in comparison: Big Love's face looks bigger and Little Lady's face looks smaller.

2) Big Love is looking skywards, exposing loads of skin and flab and Little lady is looking straight into the camera with her shoulder tilted to cover her neck.Plus she is wearing a knit.
Desired effect in comparison: Big Love has more skin exposed and Little lady has only her face exposed. Big Love's face looks alot bigger.

3) Big Love's shot zooms in her face and a little of her shoulder but Little Lady's shot includes more than half of her upper arm.
Desired effect in comparison: Little Lady looks so petite and Big Love looks...well bigger.

4) Big Love's face goes out of the area of V alphabet whilst Little Lady's face stays well within the V area.
Desired effect in comparison: Need I say more?

Disgusting! Don't implictly send messages to the readers, we are not idiots.Dakota is a small girl but there is no need to make the bigger girl look bigger in a side by side edition. Discrimination, I say! It is not fair to Gaby.

I believe it would only be fair to have the girls styled the same way in an exact replica shoot like your previous size issue.

Shame on you V, Shame on you cause Big is Beautiful too.

Hello Fukubukuro Sales!Vivenne Westwood SpringSummer2010

//Outfit of the day:Random 3/4 sleeve blazer, Random rouched chequered dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs Bag from Sweet, Random Black Engineer Boots

I bought this dress in Harajuku's Takeshita-Dori and to my surprise, it appeared on Jan2010's issue of Popteen!

In other news, Vivenne Westwood's Spring/Summer 2010 collection for Ebury is so cute!!

I'm not exactly in love with the floral one but the solid coloured ones get my vote! These suit the sweet,elegant gothic lolita look! Me wants VW SS2010 accessories!

The rest of the Spring Summer 2010 collection is worth a look too!

Review: Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Treatment

// Pantene's 3 Minute Miracle is 3 Minutes of Nothing Happening.

The tube is 15ml and it is more than sufficient for 2-3uses. I didn't want to make an oil rig of my my head so I only used half a tube. And knowing Pantene, I anticipated this to be full of silicons.

The formula is pretty thick and it doesn't drip (has a consistency like the Tsubaki Treatment)
I had this on for 10minutes.

When my hair dried, it felt like nothing happened. My hair was in its usual state. The next day, it was a frizz bomb. Did I miss something?Hello? This is supposed to rescue my hair from damage and make it shiny and smooth. Sure as hell didn't see any of that happening. Sounds like a whole lotta bull. Even some silicon would have made my hair shinier (for a day at least)

In the end, I had to turn to my trusty Kose Cosmeport and Tsubaki Conditioner and treatment for some help.

Thank god this was a free sample. Won't even rate it since it didn't do anything good for me. Yerk. The remaining half goes into the bin. Bye Bye, 3 minutes of wasting my time.

Nail of the Day: Paul and Joe 003 Rayon De Soleil

Under artificial light, no flash

Under artifical light with flash

Rose Bronze-Gold base with tiny specks of glitter. All it took was one coat!! And, I'm very glad to say that this one glides on smoothly, with no grittyness at all. Fairly watery in consistency but doesn't drip (unlike Beaute De Kose varnishes!). The brush is controllable too. I like the long screwtops as it provides a good hold (especially when you are not ambidexterous!) I had this one sitting around for at least 1/2 a year and there was minimal separation!

It looks like copper here but it looks gold-bronze in the daylight. I hauled this at a warehouse sale but to be honest, I probably would not pick this one up at regular price.

Made in Japan by Albion. Paul and Joe gives you a decent 10ml, which means it would probably last you quite awhile. Paul and Joe varnishes are not their main line of products (their focus being makeup and skincare) so this would probably be a little difficult to find.

All in all, I likey! 4/5!
-1 for being expensive at regular price!
