I Will Advertise Your Blog

So there's this thing that REALLY irks me in the blogging community.

Bloggers who blog ONLY advertorials 90% of the time. 

Why does this irk me, you ask? Because when I actually want to read a good post I get crap advertorials I don't feel like reading. So then I have to just unsubscribe. I don't have anything against advertising. People need to eat, so whatever, do it.

But you're running a BLOG. Don't make the reader seem like they're reading a page just full of ads. It's aggravating because the reason I followed your blog in the first place was purely because of your actual blog entries. (Or maybe I'm just jealous that you're getting paid a lump sum to advertise...)

Okay, rant aside.

If you haven't noticed already...

I FINALLY EDITED MY BLOG!~

I' actually very proud of myself because I was originally going to steal a free template from a website, but I just could not find what I was looking for. I either found cheesy templates of anime girls with huge cleavage or overly try-hard kawaii templates. So I finally just gave up my search and went ahead and created my own.

Yes, it's awesome, and no, I will not link you or give you any HTML. 

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It could use some tweaking, but for my first time I give myself a pat on the back. I'm just glad there's some color now, because I honestly don't know why I kept that boring template before. Thinking about it makes me sick.

I still could use help from someone who's experienced in making templates.

Now, another thing I'd like to announce - I am now open for ads and affiliations. If you want me to advertise your blog (not only on here, but on my 20 other websites/profiles) you can contact me via my email. I do it free of charge, I just would like for you to mention me as well. My email is feliciatwinn@yahoo.com. (Felicia Twinn is my pen name, I'm not sharing my true name for security purposes...)

Over the weekend I did try my hand at photoshopping. And I found I'm pretty talented at it! I particularly got inspired by Xiaxue's own tutorial herself on how to photoshop, so I tried it a bit. My photoshopping looks pretty artificial so I'm saving myself the embarrassment.

Anyways, I'm signing off~

The Power of Makeup

So today I decided to shop around for some kawaii-desu layouts for Le blog.

Even though I don't visit my blog as often as I should, I still ended up getting bored with the uninteresting black, grey, and white template given courteously to me by Blogger themselves.

But you know what I hate more than anything when designing a profile, or a website? (Well, more then the time and energy it takes) are those annoying little url's of wherever you got the layout from.

Like, you know when you're too lazy to do the whole HTML coding thing by yourself? So of course you go shopping around for already-made ones on these cute little websites...

So you preview the new look, and find that their website URL is written all over the layout. Like, wtf?!

Firstly, it looks hella cheap. Secondly, the whole world can easily find out just how lazy and unprofessional I really am. I really need to learn how to code. 

Anyways, I can't believe I started this blog in 2012 and it's kind of (not really) nearing 2014. Damn my blog is getting old, and I have no followers to show for it. And I know based on my trafficking that I HAVE readers. So can some of you silent readers/ghosts go follow me or something? I don't bite. ^.^

Yesterday was uneventful, and today will be the same. Basically I did my nails, sat around and watched a good bit of horror movies and ate. Since I haven't mentioned this before, yes, I love food. 

No, I am not fat.

So to take this entry off of my own problems, let's move on shall we?

I was actually browsing YouTube, and came across a wide range of videos in which Asian women who looked average/below average used makeup to enhance themselves.

Okay, she wasn't so bad looking before, falling in the average category.
A little below the norm, but not SO bad...

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IMAGE WILL DISTURB YOU. READER'S DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
POW!!!

Are you pissing your pants yet?

When I first saw this, I had wondered how a man who looked to be over 40 years old could transform himself into a young woman.

And an ATTRACTIVE one at that.

The sad part of it all, is that unfortunately the girls who transform themselves cannot even achieve that level of attractiveness!! (Unless they're already attractive to begin with.)

Anyways, I was pretty scared to go on looking at pictures. And then I found this.

DAYUMMMM

These old, rough looking men are turning themselves into beautiful VIXENS!! Wtf?!?!

And, they don't even look like trannies or drag queens. They genuinely look like females. The world is turning scarier and scarier...

This shiz is scary.

Thing is, is you don't need to hire a professional stylist or makeup artist. You can do all of this in the privacy of your own home. Would I do it? No, not even if I looked like a dying donkey.

At least, I wouldn't walk around and present myself that way.

If I happen to find someone I am interested in on a romantic level, I would want them to accept my natural looks. Because when some boy finds a picture of them on the internet, with all the makeup on, they wouldn't think behind all of that is something...something dangerous.

Makeup is just so powerful.
Now if you're already attractive to begin with, it's not a problem. I mean, his hopes may get down just a tad, but not by much.

She fine tho.
But, I have the solution for EVERYONE! Ugly, pretty, fascinating, average, etc.

Just don't wear makeup.

If you're ugly, no one will expect more out of you. If you're pretty, you're pretty.

Simple, huh??

Anyways, I need to go back to editing my blog and jazzing it up. 

Signing off~

Hiatusss + Plastic People

So I haven't blogged in a VERY long time. As always, I won't apologize. I actually finally decided to blog after getting inspired by a certain blogger. (I won't mention their name mainly because they're not advertising/sponsoring me, so I owe them nothing.)

First and foremost I've been pretty sick these days. Yes, physically sick. I never get sick.

Okay, scratch that, I get sick RARELY. Really I just have bad cramps.

Also, school is keeping me kinda busy. (not.) I actually chose not to join any extra curricular clubs, sports, etc. Because I'm too lazy to stay committed to any clubs and sports, and also because I just plain old don't like people. So I pretend like I don't have time for anyone, when I really just sit at home watching YouTube videos and stalking Instagram. <.<

Anyways, I've actually thought about totally revamping the blog because if you haven't noticed already, it's quite dull. I mean, the colors (black) are freaking horrid, not to mention my ridiculously long URL.

I'm not really devoted to this blog though, but I'm trying as best as I can to keep up with it. I just keep forgetting I actually have like ten different blogs. Srsly.

You know what I want? I'd really, really, hopefullymaybepossibly like to have an artist (someone from like, Deviant Art?) come and make me a banner or help me design the blog so it can actually look nice and presentable. I mean, it wouldn't hurt. See, I'm not a mega-blogger or anything which is probably why that won't happen. I don't have money to pay any artist to do that for me. All me artistic friends don't do digital art either. Sigh...

There once was a time where I actually was artistic in life.

But I have now figured art isn't my thing. I had friends and family literally tell me I should become an artist. They obviously knew nothing about how little an artist gets paid. Hello, ever heard of the term ''starving artist''? This is why I refuse to become an artist. That still doesn't excuse why I dropped it as a hobby. I just kind of sucked. I was improving at one point, but I kind of lost my mojo after a while. -Insert old picture of crappy art-
Ugh. I was like 12, okay?!

Source: My Deviant Art account that I will never share.

Yes, it's total crap. But that's not the point. The point is, is that I was a  creative child was an IMAGINATIVE SOUL. Now, that has all gone out the window and I no longer have such a mind. Which means I can't just draw my own banner.

Yep, this is a cry for attention. A cry for an artist.

Don't worry, I've actually improved a great deal from that drawing. But I don't really have the time or energy to go take pictures of my newest attractions. (new as in 2 years ago)

Anywho, since I haven't been blogging lately, you're probably wondering what I've been doing to fill the void. Remember when I made that post about Xiaxue? No? Please revert back to the post.

I hadn't read her stuff in a long time. So while I was on Instagram I actually stumbled across a picture of her cute baby boy, Dashiel. I didn't know that was HER son until I saw that she posted it, and I was all like, ''OH!" like I had completely forgot about her existence.

I am in no way shape or form trying to advertise her blog or anything. But I thought I would mention a certain opinion that she had, which I stumbled on while reading one of her entries.

So if anyone knows anything about Xiaxue, you know that she's had a few plastic surgeries and also hasn't been ashamed to admit she's Photoshopped quite a few of her pictures. I wouldn't say she's vain, but she does care about her looks greatly. Right? Okay.

Photoshopped picture of Xiaxue.

She gets a lot of hate for her plastic surgery and photoshopping, which I don't condone or agree with because everyone to some degree is vain.

First and foremost, I don't think it's my business or anyone else's as far as the surgeries go. Do as you please. It's your body, it's your life. Photoshop away, that's not really my concern either.

YES, this is the same person!!
As far as 'plastic people' (my nickname for them) I don't have a problem with them. The only time I'll have an issue is if they're extremely VAIN.

Like, if they target other people's looks and start bashing them on their fugliness. If their argument always resorts to the way the person looks, that's when I get rubbed the wrong way.

If you were once unattractive, and you got the surgeries to fix it (let's say you look pretty decent now) do you think it's okay for you to bash people's ugliness because you are no longer on their level of attractiveness/ and or ugliness?

Take a look at this 'attractiveness scale' and see where you fall.

People should know better. If you were ugly and are now artificially attractive (which isn't a problem in my book) you should know what it feels to be that person, and if you were below average as far as looks, you at least got teased about it a few times. You should know how much that...crushes and stings the recipient of your cold-hearted jokes.

"You can be plastic on the outside, and I wouldn't care. But don't become a barbie on the inside. Dark and hollow." ~Moi
Anyways, I'm off to bed. I hope I made up for my long ass hiatus. Night!
