What better way to counter the disgusting temper tantrum Karl Lagerfeld is now infamous for then by reminding of how many stunning normal to plus size women are displayed in our fashion mags, favorite tv shows and runway fashion collections? Christina Hendricks and Kate Winslet are two of my personal favorites in this category, so I was a bit partial to this particular blog entry. I'm not entirely sure who or what to blame for the horrid ideas that today's girls are infused with about the "perfect woman" having physical features as close to a 12 year old boy as is possible for a woman, but I'd feel so much better if I could slap them.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the beautiful ladies of all shapes and sizes. Angelina Jolie and Milla Jovovich are prime examples of gorgeous, sexy, and tiny-framed women who also exude confidence, intelligence and strength. Which, in my humble opinion, are all characteristics of beauty as much as a nice, perky ass is. Hah.
Being in the beauty industry for over 8 years now, I've heard hundreds of women explain to me in great detail exactly why thy don't believe themselves to be beautiful, pretty, thin enough, curvy enough, feminine enough, tall enough, or whatever 'enough'. I'm over it. Ladies, stop trying to be 'enough' and you WILL be enough. There is NO better way in the world to BE a beautiful, sexy, envied woman than to actually BELIEVE that you are one. Trust me, I'm a professional in making people feel and look gorgeous. Just believe it, and you will feel it. And anyone who wants to disagree with you, try this: "kiss my ass". :)

Go the fuck outside! Now!
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, people. Trust me, it is. Get you're asses out there and enjoy it. Pick apples, run till your lungs explode, hike up a mountain, jump on a bike, shit even hit some yard sales and find a cheap treasure to reward yourself for a long and crappy week. Anything you need to do that will get you off this computer and out your front door. With the weather going haywire these last, oh 10 years or so, gorgeous days are precious and should be used to their fullest potential.
My plans include a neighborhood run with Henry, then a trip to the dog park where he can work out all his frantic, spazzy dog energy, then a stop off at the farmer's market and a stroll around downtown to see what the local yocals look like today. Tonight, I think I'll top off the day with the new Che film, starring Benecio Tel Doro as Che Guevara. Sounds pretty amazing, right? I thought so. :)

Who doesn't love sammiches??http://www.toxel.com/inspiration/2009/10/03/15-amazing-sandwich-art-creations/
Anyway, back to the topic: Zombieland. Saw it this weekend, loved it. It was fun, catchy, and a unique spin on the zombie film, which these days I imagine is hard to do. Zombies are "the thing" right, didn't you know? You can find trendy zombie sites and graphic novels splattered all over the web today, and the majority of it is pure shit. Again, back to my topic. Sorry, I do that sometimes.
Best role for Woody Harrelson since Natural Born Killers. He's goofy, crazy and endearing, all a great combination for a wacked-out zombie hunter. Yes, it is a lesser Shaun of the Dead. Yes, this kid is a watered-down Michael Cera. But, does it really matter if it's not the BEST comedic zombie film made in the last few years? It's damn entertaining, the zombies are realistic and are mutilated in fun ways, and the the characters are developed well enough to make you feel 'in it'. There is, I'm sure you've heard, a silly Bill Murray cameo, which I'll say without spoiling anything was slightly disappointing to me. I remember feeling the same way about his appearance in The Darjeeling Limited. Bill is a comedic genius. Use him to his full potential or stop using him at all. Christ.
So, you like horror films, gorey kill scenes or zombies? Go see Zombieland. It's a good time.
Yes, I'm a newbie. Be nice.
I'm sort of a contradiction in 'personality types', 'social typecasts' and 'gender roles'. Ok, maybe that's pushing it a bit. I'm a comic book nerd, video game lover and devour books two and three at a time. I also try my best to keep up a decent quality of photographic record of my surroundings, posted semi-regularly on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lissa77. I've also been a hairstylist for over 8 years, which means I do get a boner for things of the fashion type, and find great joy in making people feel good about themselves. Oh yeah, and I plan on using as little censorship of my inner smartass as possible in this here blog, so fair warning. I crave movement and require several outlets for my hyperactive mind and fidgety body. This is satisfied through running, yoga, weight training, hiking, and running back and forth like a maniac through my house while being pursued by my giant dog, Henry.
I live with a rock band, ORYAN, which can be seen and heard here: http://oryantheband.com. They rock, take my word for it. Actually, I'd be interested in any honest feedback.
That's all for now, folks. Please, any suggestions, questions, ideas, or other silly bullshit you'd like to share will make me squeal with joy. Share away, people. Share away.
