“I must be a mermaid. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.”

We are born to become free. Freedom is defined from different aspects, and according to different cultures, freedom varies from culture to another. Some define freedom as a natural right, the human being is born with. Everyone wants to be free and independent from others. Shanel, our upcoming model for interview is no different. Let’s hear her out now!

1. Tell us more about yourself and the modeling industry, how it all started and what inspired it.

I’m Shanel. Same pronunciation as Chanel but starts with a S, and I’m 20 this year. Having freelance modeling as a full time.

I prefer having jobs in different kind of job scope, different places, running about. I’m a person who loves freedom, & carefree environment. So i can’t really work in places like offices or retail lines. But for events are not, it’s held at different locations and different jobscope to meet and socialise with different people and gain more experience.

I’d taken up photo shoots and some events/roadshows during my school days, and i wasn’t really active as i was still schooling. And my first official event was Asia AutoSalon held at Singapore Expo, after i graduated from my studies. It inspired me to move on more into this line, as it’s really my goals and character to work in carefree environment and socialize with people out there. It’s like having own time own target working lives and really don’t have to be under anyone’s command.

2. What would be the next upcoming/latest project that we can expect?

It would be a long term event; around a year. Might be up on television as well. The Garnier Skincare Ambassador.

3. Where do you see yourself heading in the next 5 years?

I would go for my goals and pursue my dreams. As from young, Air-Stewardess was my ambition. I bet that’s alot of girl’s dreams too (: As mentioned earlier, I love freedom & carefree life & environment.

Working as a Air-Stewardess, is always flying and going around different places of the world. It represents the carefree feel when you’re on the plane, and the freedom feel when you arrived at different countries to experience the culture there.

Nevertheless, I’ll still keep my modeling industry as a sideline even one day I’d succeed in fulfilling my dreams. As it’s gaining experiences and knowledge of how to socialize and handle situations out there, it benefits in the air-stewardess line too. Even I’ll not get famous someday in the modeling industry, but at least I tried. And of course I’ll work hard to make it come true definitely.

4. Use a word or phrase (you feel) describes yourself best

There’s a will, there’s a way.

5. What have you gained from your past experiences?

I’ve learnt to express myself more and better to people out there and even my respond was much faster and doing things in a better way. Made a lot of friends [models/talents] and we often exchange our experience and different situations we’d came across etc. This industry had made me a smarter person? Exact to say, for photo shoots often we’d want photographers to approach us in different ways despite not knowing who they are or where they had our information from. So I tend to check and ask a few questions before agree to take up their offer for shoots. It need some skills of questions to know whether are they genuine photographers or just a scam. Well, this expand my experiences and knowledge in this line as modeling industry is really big and complicated at times. No fear of depth..

6. Any advices for novices who are committed to succeed in your industry?

Practice makes perfect. Strong Determinations and Perseverance are really important in the industry. Though you’ve met different obstacles and difficulties, just always have Confidence and Faith in yourself. Even you’re not a Diamond that every female loves, you might be a jade that someone would love and appreciate. So, love yourself!

Jennifer Aniston is one of those actresses who seems be just like every one of us. She is funny, down-to-earth and natural. And she demonstrates that again posing for the cover of InStyle Magazine and telling her fans all about what she feels when she is compared to Angelina, when people talk about her with negative attitude and all other things which make her either happy or miserable.

Jennifer Aniston, who is rumored to be pregnant with her first child, has landed the March 2012 cover of InStyle Magazine. She looks fresh and beautiful on the front page with a nude top on. Her hair is perfectly straight and makeup is natural, just like her smile. Speaking to an InStyle representative Jennifer talks about everything you might be interested: from her beauty secrets that help her look so wonderful to misconceptions that can be really annoying.

Read some of the highlights from Jennifer Aniston’s interview forInStyle Magazine:

Jennifer Aniston on numerous misconceptions which make her life harder: “Which one? There are so many. I would say the triangle with my ex-husband – and that there’s a feud there. It’s constant. It’s a story headline that won’t go away, but it’s a money thing – (people make money off) a story that has nothing to do with reality.”

Jennifer Aniston on similarities between her own style and style of her beau, Justin Theroux: “First of all, he has great style – it’s very specific, and it has been his style forever. Has it influenced mine? No, but I know people say it has.’Oh, look, you’re dressing alike.’ And I think, no I’m not. I’ve had this jacket for three years!’”

Jennifer Aniston on which career she would choose if she weren’t an actress: “Directing. I was very proud of producing and directing for the beautiful project ‘Five.’ Or I’d love to be a dermatologist. I’d be so obsessive about it. I’m fascinated by skin, products, and lasers. I go on the Internet and read all about it. I call it ‘laser porn.’”

Jennifer Aniston on being able to make great eggs for breakfast: “I’d love to say I’m an accomplished cook, but I don’t have any signature dishes. I’m good at breakfast – I make great eggs. My father gave me a little recipe. It’s all in the seasoning. But it’s a Greek secret. I won’t give it away!”

Blake Lively isn’t just a Gossip Girl star, she has passed that stage long ago. She is an actress, a Vogue covergirl, Ryan Reynold’s girlfriend, and a close friend of Christian Louboutin. And she is one of those girls whose outfits are always discussed b fashion bloggers and experts. Blake Lively has achieved a lot but there is still so much ahead! And now she’s making one more step into her brilliant future by covering the new issue of Elle Magazine.

Blake Lively is brilliant – a talented actress and a model, a Voguecovergirl, a good cook, and a beautiful woman. Besides, she’s not one of those girls who has a different boyfriend every other day. As she told Elle Magazine she’s had only four boyfriends in her life and those were the men she took really seriously.

Blake Lively, who graces the cover of Elle Magazine March 2012 issue, looks amazing on all the photographs.
On the front page of Elle Magazine, which is very traditional, Blake Lively poses in a stylish white Victoria Beckham’s dress. She looks lovely and elegant.

Inside the magazine we see another Blake, who is very sexy and strikes a provocative position with just a one-piece swimsuit, a black cardigan and a pair if red shoes on.

In the interview for Elle Magazine Blake Lively speaks about her close friendship with Christian Louboutin, possibility of having a few daughters and role of men in her life.

Read the highlights:

Blake Lively on the men in her life:“I’ve had four boyfriends in my whole life. I’ve never been with anyone that’s not a boyfriend. If I spend time with a man, it’s because there’s somebody that I know well who has been a friend for a while.”

Blake Lively on her close friendship with Christian Louboutin:“When I’m going to an event, I’ll send Christian (Louboutin) a picture of my outfit and say, ‘What shoes do you think I should wear with this?’”

Blake Lively on kids: “I hope to have a few girls one day. If not girls, they better be trannies. Because I have some amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be appreciated.”

Blake Lively on a report that she and Ryan Reynolds are looking for an apartment: “Newspapers say a lot of stuff, don’t they? Though I wish I could afford half the places that I hear I’m looking at. Sign me up!”

Lea Michelle is new girl representing Candie’s campaign. She has followed in the footsteps of Vanessa Hudgens and Britney Spears who played different roles each. While Britney did her best to express sexuality Vanessa tried to attract attention to her youthfulness. Let’s see what Lea looks like.

Lea Michelle is the new face of Candie’s, and to tell you the truth I love her in this role much more than Vanessa Hudgens orBritney Spears. She doesn’t look vulgar or too sweet. She’s just like a girl next-door, normal and funny.

Lea Michelle wears a number of lovely outfits posing for the new Candie’s ad campaign images. She is photographed inside a beautiful house leaning against a closet door, sitting on a bed with fluffy pillows and pink blankets, standing in front of a fireplace and even in the kitchen cooking something.

Candie’s garments Lea Michelle sports are playful and a bit glamorous. There are a few printed dresses, lace minis, denim shorts and cute tops. The shoes are high-heeled and sexy. The blue pair is the most stylish.

The accessories which finish Lea Michelle’s looks are not eye-catching but they look great, especially the bracelets. Headpieces are a little too much but I’m sure there are girls who are fond of them.

Wishing all a happy chinese new year!

His fiancé and Russian model, Irina Shayk has a gorgeous body and the talent to show it in the best way possible. And this explains why her jeans campaign for Guess is said to set men’s pulses racing.

Irina Shayk looks impressive striking poses for Guess jeans campaign. At a number of photographs the Russian beauty showcases brand’s stylish denim creations. She wears a simple green shirt with a pair of hotpants, a revealing red knitted top with jeans, and a super short white blouse teamed with a sexy vest on the pictures.

Irina Shayk, who is engaged to football player Christiano Ronaldo, also shows us how to wear accessories. Her looks which are simple on its own are much more attractive and chic when finished with belts, earrings, and plenty of bracelets all worn together.

Irina has recently become the covergirl for Esquire Magazine. In the interview to the men’s glossy the model said she would never do Playboy because she has class.

“Setup Liquid Art”, the latest project of German photographer Markus Reugels who uses large satellite photos or various pattern images as a backdrop and a high speed camera he captures the background’s refraction through water drops. The perfectly timed shots and painstaking creative process result in these spherical representations of the Earth, moon and other fabulous planets. Such an amazing effect of transforming images into liquid spheres.

Diana Beltran Herrera is an industrial designer who likes to create digital and manual illustrations. While this time, we will show some beautiful paper sculptures which made of soft materials and playful colors. Take a look at these birds, they might not most realistic paper animals we’ve seen, but they are definitely one of most colorful and playful paper sculptures featured on our site.

Apple has filed a facial recognition patent. What does this imply? Will we be having iDevices that are advanced enough to get out there and prove that Siri wasn’t the best it could do? Instead of the slide unlocker you may well have to hold your device before your pretty face to unlock its awesome features. The system works by comparing your face with a reference image, built in with appropriate parameters in mind.

What drives us to the usual discussion groups is the fact that the first paper by Apple was submitted in June 2010, long before the Android Face Unlock application. When will it be launched? Lets stay tuned.

p.s. A happy 2012 to all!
