Over-the-top origami-inspired looks have been showing their teeth since Spring '07 (and will continue well into 2009).

After years of working as both a graphic and interior designer, Janine Golbert (an Uruguay native now residing in Israel) is trying her hand at jewelry design -- and in a big way. Her designs, each inspired by the sensuality of color, form, material and texture, could easily put a seasoned jewelry artist to shame (not to mention break my bank account!

Many Americans are obsessed with their health, but the United States remains a country of the obese. Obesity in the U.S. has taken the form of an epidemic, even though more information and more resources are available to us today than at any time in history. Why is this the case? There are fitness facilities designed to meet the needs of people of all types and ages. Fitness centers exist for olde

He states how most rational individuals are 99%ers (like McCain/Bush) who wish for political diplomacy 99% of the time, but would obviously not be so naive to say that negotiations will [...]

A psychiatrist was conducting group therapy with four young mothers and their small children. “You all have obsessions,” the doctor observed. To the 1st mother, he said, “You are obsessed with eating. You’ve even named your daughter Candy.” He looks to the 2nd mother, “Your obsession is with money. Again, it manifests itself in your child’s name, Penny.” He looks to the 3rd mother.

As a teenager I didn't care too much about my appearance, didn't feel insecure about it, and had a realistic but modest self image. The looks of other people weren't my focus either: I cared only for personality. This attitude could have made me a very happy person: In a world were appearance is everything, I would be among the few that can see inner beauty in ugly people and end up with the most

[Cross-posted] It’s not that we haven’t kept up with the row over the Miley Cyrus photographs taken by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair, which sexualize the teenage star, but I have to draw the line somewhere when it comes to news coverage.   There are quarters in fashion publishing which would deem these photographs appropriate and artistic, just as Leibovitz claimed, and we ourselves have featured teens in and even on the cover of Lucire, looking probably older than they really are.   But if a subject comes to me and tells me that she is embarrassed by a series of photographs, and for a cover decision she may well be in the know, then that’s good enough reason for me to have a meeting or a big office poll about it.   And that’s just what Cyrus, star

PR Week has an interesting piece (HERE) saying that Gordon Brown is obsessed with the Tory's media strategist, Andy Coulson.Brown is worried that Coulson's attempt to portray him as a ditherer is working (not that anyone needs much convincing, surely?). Coulson's strategy appears to be showing signs of success as the press seem increasingly friendlier towards the blue corner. Take the endorsements that the Sun and the Times gave Boris for the London Mayoralty, for example.

"Blue Saucer with Apple"5X7Oil on MasoniteAvailableI have a confession to make. I have been obsessed with a color again. It's an elusive color, or maybe I should say it's a variation of a color with nuances, subtle yet so enticing it has had me looking for it everywhere. I first saw it at a designer showhouse about four years ago. A decorator had painted a bedroom in this color and then hinted at it in other areas of the room with linens. I almost swooned. Then I saw it a couple of years later in a painting by Julian Merrow Smith. It was a tea cup tucked into the upper corner of the painting. He also used the saucer in a couple of other paintings and, again, I found myself coveting that color. It was the perfect compliment to it's opposite. So the search has been on. I've looked

Word on the streets is that Atlanta rapper/ actor T.I. may be headed back to the big screen. He is in final negotiations to star in Screen Gem's upcoming flick "Bone Deep". The film will be produced by Atlanta based film-maker Will Packer and will also star Idris Elba and Matt Dillon. Packer will also soon begin filming a movie out in Los Angeles called "Obsessed" starring the newly married Beyonce Knowles. Packer is said to be in final negotiations of the deal to have T.I. join his cast. The film is being described as a mix between Heat and Ocean's Eleven. "Bone Deep" is set for a 2009 release and filming could begin this fall possibly right in Atlanta. No word yet on the character T.I. is slated to play in the film.

I’m still not sure what caused this fascination. Was it telling my daughter that Santa only brings gifts to toilet users?

I admit it: I can't stop watching CNN. I am completely obsessed with Obama, Hillary, McCain, and the rest of the gang. I wake up to Meet the Press and fall asleep to Larry King, all the while trying to figure out who I believe and who I don't. For the record, I fall into the "Hillary faked the crying" group, but I do think the press has been rather hard on her, so if she did indeed genuinely cry, then I completely understand why. Here are a couple of fun gifts to give in the spirit of politics:1. Vote cards, from Set. $8, box of 25.2. Elephant pendant from Fuzz, AU$46.3. Peace, love, & revolution pendant from Fuzz, AU$65.3.

Hilary Swank is a down to earth actress that would not starve herself in order to get thin or look good. But it seems she has another obsession: supplements and vitamins. The Boys Don’t Cry star admitted that she relies on a staggering health regime made up of 45 daily supplements as well as a series of vitamin injections. The image-conscious performer also revealed that she exercises daily on top of her tablet intake and said she would rather go to the gym than get an extra hour in bed. [Source] Hilary does look great (the proof are these recent pictures of her taken at the “P.S. I Love You” movie premiere), but to me she’s going a bit overboard with all those pills. What do you think about it, is it healthy or not to take so many supplements?

What did we do before the games console? To be honest, I wouldn’t know what I would do without my Xbox 360. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a hard days work and it’s great to escape to a completely different place for a while. But, how do you know when your love of gaming has become an obsession? Well, some may say, when you start to shout the name ‘Lara Croft’ when you make love to your partner, or have a Mario Brothers themed wedding or a console themed wedding cake. Or, if your really obsessed, you could immortalise the Nintendo characters in ink on your back. Don’t think anyone could be that obsessed? Think again! Check out these pictures below.

Victoria Beckham has revealed that husband David’s obsessive-compulsive disorder has become so bad that he now colour-codes their fridge.The Spice Girl also claimed that Beckham has to vacuum their Beverly Hills home in straight lines and wear a pinafore apron while he is at it.She added that he “gets funny”if someone steps on the newly-vacuumed carpets. Victoria was being interviewed by an American radio station when she revealed the footballer’s obsessions, saying, “David is very, very tidy and I am not. Even our fridge is colour-coded.“I am creative, I have clothes all over the place. If he does the cleaning, he vacuums in straight lines, and in a pinny.David admitted to having the disorder during an interview last year, revealing that he has to count clothes and pile magazines up in straight lines. He had said, “I’ll put Pepsi cans in the fridge and if there’s one too many of them, I’ll put it in another cupboard somewhere. I’ve got that problem.”The soccer

Sources close to Britney Spears say her crazy is just not limited to what we see in public. She has a whole other set of crazy going on at home where she lets her freak flag fly. Britney is so obsessed with Princess Diana that she has a creepy shrine in her home and is desperately trying to buy her puffy wedding dress.“She’s utterly obsessed with Princess Diana. We’re worried about it. She’s turned one of the rooms in her house into a shrine to Di — there’s photos, books and cheap souvenirs everywhere. People close to Britney think it’s weird but no one dares tell her as she is so vulnerable right now. Anything could tip her over the edge. We’re all very worried as her behaviour is getting weirder by the day.”And just one more bonus tidbit about Britney (totally unrelated to her Diana obsession) her paranoia has driven her to giving herself a gate permit for entrance to her home. I know right? But the funny part is the name on the pass is Diana Prince. As anyone who i

According to new reports, troubled singer Britney Spears has developed an unhealthy obsession with Princess Diana—and has even taken to calling herself Diana Prince, and has even told pals she’s convinced she could meet the same tragic end as Princess Di. A friend of Britney’s told newspaper The News Of The World: “She’s utterly obsessed with Princess Diana. We’re worried about it.” “She’s

If you like your mutton fresh, do I know the place for you. There's something a little unnerving about pointing at a live goat and correllating it with supper. I guess we've been insulated from such activities by having large-chain grocery stores serve us meat in nicely vacuumed-sealed packages. Perhaps if goats weren't so domestically cute it might be easier. Now I didn't say it was impossible, and that was one tender slab of mutton. (BTW, they call goats mutton if you were thinking I was errantly referring to lamb. :)

The lady was the first in the history of Indian Cinema who appeared in 17 kissing scenes. And later she became the first and the only one till date to act with Jackie Chan. Now it seems, she is too impressed by the action superstar… because these days she is busy practicing kickboxing and is ready to give hard time to boys.Sources say that this hot beauty is practicing kickboxing under a trainer. Never think that she had got problems with her immediate neighbourhood and is doing all these for self defence, instead she is interested for physical fitness.She is working hard to make her legs look sexier, as she is obsessed with her legs and finds them as her invaluable assets.

Probably.So my wife and I were sitting down last night discussing a few of our current money problems. Namely, a couple a medical bill forced us to dip into our emergency fund and we have a follow-up that is going to cost us again. We still haven't replenished our emergency fund, mainly because I haven't taken our debt repayments to reimburse it. Instead, I've been nickel and diming the fund to slowly bring it back up - using any spare income we have.Needless to say, our fund is not back up to $2,500 yet. Actually, it is $1,900 now because of that bill. This new bill will set us back another $600. Ouch. Not a good month for the emergency fund.Of course this discussion lead to how we are going to repay our emergency fund and pay our upcoming medical bill. We have very different approaches.1) Her plan. She wants to take our debt repayment amount (about $1,200) for this month and pay these medical bills with it. That will of course cover the whole thing and bring our emergency fund bac

U.S. authorities say a couple from Reno, Nevada was so obsessed with playing video games online that they left their babies to starve.According to the Sunday Telegraph, the parents have now pleaded guilty to child neglect after their 22-month-old boy and 11-month-old girl were found severely malnourished and close to death.The girl, weighing just 10 pounds, reportedly had to have her head shaved because it was matted with cat urine. She also suffered from a mouth infection, dry skin, and severe dehydration. Her brother was treated for starvation, a genital infection, and, due to lack of muscle development, difficulty walking.The children are now doing well and regaining weight in foster care. Their parents, Michael Straw, 25, and Iana Straw, 23, now face up to 12 years in prison. Prosecutors say the couple was too distracted playing Dungeons & Dragons online to give their children proper care.“They had food, they just chose not to give it to their kids because they were too busy play

Almost all women seem to be troubled by the term few like to mention: cellulite. Becoming obsessed with cellulite seems like the latest time consuming pastime. Quit! Wouldn’t it be more wise to get the facts, first? I’m guessing you are not an infant, or a teenager, you may be in that “lucky” part of the demographic findings that recognize the term, but are yet to show any interest in how to eliminate it. But more bad news for pretty much everybody. Most females, no joke, who are the lucky owners of that bumpy certainly not smooth, dimpled, dare I say: ‘cottage cheese’ like skin who are in pursuit of honest to goodness remedies that really fix the targeted cellulite you and I continue to fight to finally abolish, once and for all. Mind you, as I see it, it’s not fair. Of course, you haven’t directly done anything to have inherited your cellulite accumulation, right? But reality is is staring you straight in the face. At some point, you ha

I relish the opportunity to help a buyer find that oddball property.  Something not quite a house that can be a home or a work solution or both.  How about a commercial building on Spring Street downtown? 5000 square feet, 12 foot ceilings, service elevator, loading dock and 10 parking spaces for only $550ish.  It took little time for that to go into contract. Better yet, why not a beautiful old church in a prime location?  How about a 2 story, 4000 square foot church just off high street for only $290,000. I know, I know, too good to be true and yet it’s been on the market for over a week and it isn’t in contract yet.  From Antique Malls to Garages, from 23,000 sq ft downtown warehouses to German Village residential/storefront spots and every weird live/work possibility in-between, Columbus has the solution on the market if you think outside the residential box and look for the rare and the unique. A friend of mine’s mind rarely wanders from

Well, it's not flat, so maybe they're just not used to seeing an actress who has a figure..," Just Jared quoted Alba, as saying."I had womanly curves at a young age. Usually kid actors are a few years older than the roles they play. I was two or three years younger," she added.Alba also said that she is happy to play a role that is different, especially as has been typecast as "some what of little Tart" in Hollywood."My experience in this business is that if people think you're going to put people in seat because you have a fan base, it's more important than anything," she said."If you have a womanly figure, you're not allowed to have a brain or any idea of the world whatsoever. You just have t

Rebecca Romijin once received letters from a stalker who wrote pages telling the actress about how much he admired her “luscious melons“. She says, “I got a series of letters from a guy who would go on and on, in very strange bubbly, cursive handwriting, about my "luscious melons'.” “For pages and pages… "Dear Rebecca, I love to look at pictures of you and your luscious melons. I would like to see a picture of your luscious melons in a pink bikini or maybe your luscious melons in a black bikini. When's your birthday? Mine's February 2nd. What's your favourite food? Back to your luscious melons… luscious melons… luscious melons…'”

It's funny how sometimes we bloggers end up choosing the same topics to write about. Last week I saved these two pictures- Tori Spelling breastfeeding pic and Maggie Gyllenhaal doing same so I could blog about them at a later date and give them a big thumbs up! I was so happy to see these celebrity moms being so real and not worrying about what people might think.Well, it seems that as I was saving and planning, other bloggers were actually DOING. As usual I'm a day late and about ten bucks short but now I can not only talk about Tori and Maggie but now these other bloggers too! :)Erin at Queen of Spain (her and the Kaiser actually have sex so I make sure never to read her blog when Hubby Guy is around. He might start getting it in his head that he's suppose to be getting some too ya know!) is so sick of remarks by stupid people about breastfeeding/showing that she's decided to free the puppies in support of bare breastfeeding boobies.I'd say she's doing several things here...*-

Every TV channel is showing you some clippings of Abhishek and Aishwarya marriage, and saying that the most famous marriage of this world and etc etc. Mehandi for Aish brought from Surat and bla bla, I mean there are many things in this country are important then this marriage. Perhaps media is searching some good replacement of Cricket.Yes mother of all news was the gal called Jhanvi Kapoor attempts to suicide for Abhishek outside his Bungalow, gal was saying that Abhishek did some commitment with her, I think that the gal is right because Abhishek was not a big star by that time, and I still feels that he cant do anything except gazing.

As already mentioned before I love to look at my blog's statistics, since there's always somebody new and interessting coming to see my blog.Today I discovered Vogue Australia's Forum and some ladies discussing poylvore.com and F&ART. freedom_poptop describes myself as "latex obsessed". Hhm. This comment made me think about obsession in general. What exactly is an obsession? a type of psychic disorder supposedly induced by the influence of an evil spirit!? Well... I'm really not sure WHAT I'm trying to say, maybe just that I will write more about something else in future - F&ART actually isn't a latex-blog! But have you seen those?I love Vogue Australia's may cover, btw.Credit: Vogue.com.au

I’ll admit that today I didn’t have nearly as much time to determine what I wanted to post as I would have liked. I have about 4-5 things in the works to publish and the number just grows everyday. Unfortunately I couldn’t make up my mind as to what to talk about today in the little time I had, and so I didn’t finalize my thoughts on anything…very productive. This is not the first time this has happened as I think I’m becoming too obsessed with music. I find new bands every single day that interest me ranging from the earliest days of blues to the newest of the new and it makes it a little more difficult to decide what article to finish up to post on any given day. This also puts a serious crimp in my budget as I have to limit myself to the number of new albums I buy every month in order to keep from going broke. A long time ago I thought this was a bad thing as it meant my music collection would never be finished and I could never just sit ba

From television advertisements to an entire article in the most recent issue of O Magazine, I feel bombarded by our society's obsession with defying everyone's reality: aging. If it's not a special cream infused with water from the Swiss Alps that will keep your eyes wide open (to avoid crows feet of course) 24/7, it's a bottle of purplish-green juice you can drink to keep your skin looking the

Sushma Reddy, who recently hosted "Indian Rendezvous" -- a six-part series on as many Indian metros -- doesn't believe in talking too much about her work. "I find it strange and absurd to talk about things just to be in news. I can't blabber foolishly just for the heck of it. I believe in talking when the time is right. Let things materialise and I shall talk about it," she said. The

Okay I admit it, I have a problem. I am obsessed with the Anna Nicole mystery. At night I watch every news channel that offers something on her. I'm so confused after hearing all these different stories. I think on Entertainment tonight they had Howard on there, (his emotional reunion with Anna's daughter). I heard he got paid big bucks for that interview. Honestly if you just lost the

11.29.06Former President and Nobel Laureate Jimmy Carter (D-GA) said on Hardball with Chris Matthews that his favorite candidate is definitely Al Gore (D-TN). Supposedly Carter has been bothering Gore to run, although he has already said he will pass on the race. Editorial:Gore is the strongest Democrat. He deserves the presidency, having won it before. He comes without the negative connotation of Hillary Clinton but with presidential campaign experience before. He ran such a bungled campaign, and he still won the popular vote, that if he tries to fix his mistakes of the past, he will run the strongest campaign.

I'm just veryvery excited about it. But since the rest of the world probably isn't quite as enamoured with the details of my preparations, I'll provide some other reading material. the little people project now has prints available! I love both of these shots; wouldn't they look lovey framed together? chocolate soap. Since it contains both olive oil and cocoa butter, it might actually be good for your skin. conversation-starting centerpieces I was going to suggest that if I lived in Chicago you can bet your bippy that this link would be one of my favorites. However, it appears that most people don't like to share where they get their treasures. Not that I blame them! You have to be willing to dig through the bad if you want to find the good. new favorite link, I think. Talk about style inspiration! (For the home, not the closet.) Well, it looks like it would be an interesting article, if I could get it to load.

A middle age man had an obsession with women's breasts. So he went to a psychologist and told the doctor about his problem.- "I am going to do word-association. I am going to say a word and you will say the first thing that come to your mind," explained the doctor; "Oranges," said the doctor. - "Breasts," replied the patient.- "Apples."- "Breasts."- "Watermelons."- "Breasts."- "Wipers."- "Breasts
