| ANTM Winner (the fat one) Launches Supermodel Line of Candles & Jewelry |
[Monday
November 16th, 2009 at 2:20pm] |
Thompson plans to sell a line of jewelry and scented candles. The wax from the candles can be used as a massage moisturizer. The new adventure is very personal.
"My designs, my candles, my jewelry, all of it is 100 percent me," said Thompson, from the comfort of Jaffi's, the boutique in Neptune Beach where her modeling career began.
The candles come in a variety of scents. The names read like her monthly travel itinerary: Hong Kong Blossoms; London Hot Tea and Ginger; Los Angeles Lilly; Milan Melon; Paris and Berries; and Central Park.
"Everything is literally touched by my hands," said Thompson. "It's all me. They're my babies. I love them."
So, what about the name, Supermodel?
"I've tried to make my collection real. It's stuff that I love and I would wear and I'm a supermodel so I was thinking, 'Hey! Supermodel.' It's easy."
"It's very exciting to see a young woman follow her dreams, not just in modeling community but also as an entrepreneur," said Emilie Christenson. The owner of the store on First Street in Neptune Beach says she remembers the moment when Thompson's modeling career took off in her store.
"I had known her as a customer at Jaffi's," smiled Christenson. "She came in and she said, 'I want to do a photo shoot for you and I will rock it.' I just laughed and thought she's so adorable. Of course we'll use you for a photo shoot. And, she rocked it. It's probably the best photo shoot we've ever done."
The rest is history. Thompson went on to win America's Next Top Model hosted by Tyra Banks. Since then, she's on major magazine covers and traveling the world. In fact, she stopped in Jacksonville for just a few days before flying to some other far-away place.
Thompson will be back in town briefly over the next two weeks.
She's giving a modeling seminar on November 20.

SOMEONE WHO IS NOT LINDSAY FILMED DURING BATHROOM CONFERENCE THAT DID NOT INVOLVE COCAINE

Popdirt.com: X17 reports Lindsay Lohan and Brandon Davis engaged in “some very suspicious activities in the bathroom” of a house party in the Hollywood Hills [Nov. 15th]. When those inside the bathroom spotted the paparazzi outside, they shut the window and subsequently started throwing food at the pesky paps. When LiLo emerged later in the morning [around 7AM], she was asked how she was able to stay up so late and the video they shot is labeled “llohan111209coke.mp4″.
In response, Lohan told her Twitter followers: "hahaha x17online posted photos of NOT ME inside someone’s bathroom… All negativity&bad karma..nice try though kids-u should do a deal with michael lohan sr :) a match made in heaven! perfect, he’s religious! Thank you for keeping my company! Is it even legal to say such things like these bloggers do? Isn’t it defamation of character!?!? Slander maybe? Anyone? lol"
The video in question can be found here.
Personally, I think a twitter response was not a smart move. It only draws more attention to the video. As for the response itself, for her to imply that it must've been some doppelgänger is pretty asinine. If she really felt the need to respond, she should have played innocent and said she just went in there to talk. (Linds, can I be your part-time handler/manager or something??? You could still snort all the coke and Adderall you want, I promise! I would just be there to help you channel some of that excess speedfreak energy into something useful like say, a steady job, for instance. Think about it, bb!)

| SPOILER STILLS FROM EPISODES 10 AND 11 OF MERLIN |
[Monday
November 16th, 2009 at 9:01pm] |
36 New Spoiler Promo and Behind-the-Scenes Pics from Ep. 10 and 11

New promo pics for episodes 10 and 11 of BBC's The Adventures Of Merlin ( even though Merlin himself is more of a sidekick now and not the lead imo ) and it looks to be that the last couple or so episodes of season two look to be stronger and much more on par with season one's solidity if you can even call it that. At least their use of the reset button at the end of most of the episodes is pretty consistent and a true constant that I am sure a lot of fans absolutely love !
Anyhow, onwards with the massive photo post and again, since a lot of you have not seen season two yet or have not watched it online I will post these under the cut to be safe.
Morgana fans should be very happy with these to say the least and Merlin looks to be gaining a bit of much needed muscle.

When It Was Me - Paula DeAnda |
] |
Hey guys! I just wanted to share a fic that I made two years ago. Like in Lumina & Sparky, I was just twelve at that time, so it might not be as good as other works.
Title: When It Was Me Fandom: Harvest Moon (More Friends of Mineral Town) Genre: Romance Pairing: Graire (Gray x Claire) FF.net summary: Mary and Gray have something, but Claire comes along. Gray stops visiting Mary to hang out with Claire, but how does our librarian feel about this? Graire from Mary's POV. (Sorry, I'm no good with summaries...) My summary from what I can remember: Wangsty Mary ranting about how Claire, the ultimate Mary-sue, stole “her” Gray. Yeah, I'm mean like that. Warning: As mentioned before, Claire is a total Mary-sue. What? I was twelve! How would I have known—uhh, never mind. Other warning: Made ya look! There is no other warning. Inspiration: When It Was Me - Paula DeAnda FF.net link: www.fanfiction.net/s/4290236/1/When_It_Was_Me Disclaimer: I do not own Harvest Moon or any of its characters. But I own this fic. Don't stealiez >:p
( I remember way back when you used to look at me that way... )

My name is Jess. I am the most indecisive person you will ever meet. I am stubborn and witty, but incredibly open minded. I am shy, but I don’t care about popularity, or approval. I am in college, and I’m actually going to graduate. I drink when I feel like it and swear like a sailor. I run to free my mind. I lift weights to keep myself confident(ish). I constantly struggle about when I am finally going to allow myself to be myself. Yes, I’m that girl. The girl in the back of the classroom that throws out an opinion about something that makes the class laugh, and the professor smile. I’m that girl that knows more than she pretends to because it is easier than explaining herself. I’m the girl that will make everyone around her feel great and loved, but inside she feels lost and alone. I’m that girl. Let’s be friends.

(if it's wrong to post it here, just delete the entry, it's okay)
The other day I was talking to my friend about what we love in fanfiction and how it has influenced our lives. We also talked about favourite genres, kinks and how should a perfect fanfic look like.
And it got me thinking. Why fanfiction? Why slashfiction? Why it's so popular?
I'd love to read your opinions, not only about H/W, but any pairing.

| Aunt Ginny & Hermione in Triwizard |
[Monday

The first story I'm looking for has Ginny time travel (due to Fate) and adopt Harry when he was one. In this story, Molly, Sirus, and Remus are aware who Ginny is ( later Ron figures it out ), Also this story seems to indicate that the main reason the Dursley's abused Harry was because he was dumped on their doorstep w\ just a letter ( no one explained magic to them or anything ). This story existed as of March of 2009... The second story is a story in which Hermione is the the fourth champion in the triwizard tournament.... ( There are only 4 )

Why I write
Some poets can write thrilling meters or prose with words that 90% of us (myself included) can`t pronounce. And arrange their unpronounceable words in a way that 99% of us can`t understand. I read a poem a few nights ago Talking about the scintillating desire giving rise to the inky night`s ceaseless passions. And how the dawn was as diaphanous and vacant as life in some broad`s absence. I can`t repeat this. I don`t know what scintillating feels like I can`t relate to anything diaphanous. I`m just not that clever. But what I lack in vocabulary, I make up for in guts. Not very many poets will call a spade a spade. Not very many poets will even look at the ugliest spades. If it had been my poem, it would`ve been much shorter. It would`ve said. `We fucked, you left. Guess it`s time for a drink.`

Dearest reviewers at FF.net:
If you have a complaint or a question about the fic, would it kill you to leave a way for the author to reach you?
And with that in mind:
Dear particular reviewer:
While most teachers will tell you that redundancy within a text is something you should avoid - and they are right to a degree - there is another side to redundancy that is often ignored and it doesn't necessarily have to be bad.
It helps create a tone. Using some key words within your paragraphs and sentences will help you create a mood and a setting for a story. While it would be dangerous for a whole book to have the exact same tone because it can get boring, this can really help when it's a short story or, in this case, a one shot fic.
I'm not saying that I succeeded within the fic, but I can assure you: I repeated words constantly within the fic knowingly. I'm sorry that it didn't work for you.
However, if you mean the fact that I use the names of the characters rather than 'the blonde', 'the brunette', or thing like that, and thus the names appear rather frequently? Then I'm very, very sorry, but I'm going to keep on using names and keep the epithet to a minimum.

Dear specific Clerith writers,
The next time you write a fanfiction for Cloud and Aerith... put it under Cloud and Aerith!! I am so tired of clicking on a fanfiction that has been labeled as a Cloud and Tifa, under Romance and finding out that it's all about Cloud and Aerith. I understand the whole,"But, it's main focus is on Cloud and Tifa, and how Tifa is responding to Cloud and Aerith's romantic relationship..." Yeeeeeah. The ones that I'm complaining about don't involve or mention Tifa whatsoever.
Thank you,
Me.

Dear author,
Being best friends + having great sex + doing fun stuff together =/= being married. It calls differently in real life (like "dating", "having long-term relationship", if you aren't actually married or living together?). Marriage of any form in general requires all this components but is not defined by them.
Also, the thought. Acting “like old married couple” is not the same as “being married” either.
With love,
Me.
Edit for clarification. Two times
For any mistakes sorry in advance.

| An interview with the voice of Cascada, Natalie Horler (b/c there isn't enough dance music on ONTD) |

Some whiny bitches on my TV - is it Brothers and Sisters? |
] |

Twenty-eight-year-old Natalie Horler is the face of Cascada, and it’s her powerful voice which sets the German Eurodance outfit apart in a genre where artists are often interchangeably anodyne. Part girl-next-door, part Ann Summers catalogue vixen, her image is at once fun and assertive with a charmingly cheeky edge.
Third album 'Evacuate the Dancefloor', released earlier this year, has seen Cascada expand their musical range, with some tracks coming much closer in style to the glossy R&B of Lady Gaga than the beat-heavy Eurodance of DDR games and fairground rides. Riding high on the success of the title track and first single, they're soon embarking on a Clubland tour with N-Dubz, Darren Styles and Agnes, which includes a date at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo on 5 December.
I caught up with the bubbly Horler on a long-distance phone call to Germany, where she resides, to get the dirt on Cascada's new sound, their upcoming UK tour and her take on London.
Hi Natalie. Firstly, I'd like to clarify: are you considered to be Cascada, or are you the image and vocalist of what is, in fact, a group?
Natalie Horler: We actually are a group. I work with two producers [Yanou and Manian] and the three of us make up Cascada. They just don't come on tour, that's all; I do the whole live bit and they do all the producing. They've always chosen to stay low-profile where I've always been the face of everything, that's why sometimes there's a misconception.
What about the song-writing, is that a collective process?
NH: Yes. Although Yanou and Manian do most of that... Yanou is the brains behind it.
( EVACUATE THE DANCEFLOOR, I'M INFECTED BY THE SOUND... )
MODS: my html was all jacked on my last version of this post. Please post this one?
