Part 1: Random Blog aka I Haven't Blog for 3 weeks so I am Blogging Randomly~
The Power of Advertisement, Media, Whatever.
i like reading mag. Most girls do. I know this for a fact. Ok, i am not being local-hater or anything but really lor... sg mag... really Cannot Make It... My fave mag is US Cosmopolitan. I even subscribe to it! I cheered the day SG lifted the ban on this mag since 20 YEARS AGO bcoz back then, they deem this mag to be to provocative and slutty. Now that SG is so pro-US, Cosmo is back in SG since..erm... 2004 dec, if i am not wrong.. ANYWAY! I was thumbing thru a copy of CAN-CAN ( a jap fashion mag) in my school and i was really gobsmacked upon seeing this ad:

Now now.. all u short-lashed asian girls! Our secret dream is always to have mega-long lashes, usually with the help of mascara, of coz. but WTF!!!! honestly! if u ever see this clinique ad, would u ever wanna buy this?@!!! Be Honest! It's pretty freaking gross isn't it! I wanna look like i have never-ending lashes, yes. But i am not exactly wanting to look like a potential female lead in the next horror movie ok!
In the same mag, i found another ad that is more acceptable:
Now that's what you call a mascara ad!!!! Simple! Pretty! Blonde hair and blue eyes model with enviable lashes!!! that makes us girls wanna go out and grab that product!!! Not the former! What is clinique thinking?@!!!! Bloody hell.. As I thumb the mag further, i got depressed...
Sorry it's kinda blur... but gee! Jap girls are so thin! Dun believe me, go flip thru any jap mag at kino for free. My ex-boss told me these girls are street models. Meaning they aren't pro models but merely passerbys on the streets requested to pose for the mag. Now why are they so many chio bus who are stick-thin and amazingly-gorgeous in japan?!!! (See what a steady diet of sashimi can do for your figure???)
Damn. The bikini pages. WHY ARE THEY SO SKINNY AND ALL?@!!! Upon seeing this, i promptly recoil into deep depression as i sighed loudly enuff for the school receptionist to notice. I went thru a total of 3.2sec of low tide b4 promising myself to stick to a strict sashimi diet until i look like 1 of those models! (kidding. i'm pretty cute myself now isn't it!!! Erm... right?? RIGHT?!!!!) Whatever. LoL. In fact, i am pretty exhausted now( for reason I will not tell.... hiak hiak hiak). Part 2 will come soon... (Hmmm.. soon la... after my mj sessions... hk drama-watching etc ok???) ^_^"""
