Shaquille O'Neal can do anything. Badly. But give him credit for sharing his mediocrity with the rest of the world. That's the concept behind Shaq Vs, his show where he takes on celebrities in their chosen field. Last night, he challenged Jimmy Kimmel to a monologue contest and took the stage with Justin Bieber. Shaq admitted that he always wanted to be like Fame's Leroy, and he looked half-decent freestyling on the dance floor. READ FULL STORY

Forbes ranks the richest rappers: Some guys named Shawn, Sean, and Aliuane top the list
Forbes has once again taken time from covering entrepreneurs who work with short-term CDs and gold-backed bonds to cover those who work with 12-track CDs and gold teeth. And again, Jay-Z has topped the business magazine's annual list of highest-earning hip-hop stars, raking in an impressive $63 million over the past year. That's over twice as much as his nearest competition, Diddy, and $28 million more than he made last year.
Kanye West experienced one of the bigger drops, going from third place in 2009 all the way down to 10th, right behind Pharrell (the only other artist in the Top 20 who uses his real name). Kanye's drop could be a result of VMA backlash and his subsequent laying-low, but with a new album coming up, it's hard to imagine that his estimated $12 million won't increase soon.
Personally, I was surprised that a lot of the names on the list, like Diddy, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, haven't had a huge hit in awhile. Also, where's MC Hammer? I would have assumed that his Cash 4 Gold investment strategy would have paid off by now. I'm probably less surprised at the names on the list than I am at the names on the list. Calvin? Clifford? Aubrey? Lonnie? Somehow I think I now understand the need for their monikers. Here's the full list:
The roof is on fire: Jay-Z and Eminem rock the top of the Ed Sullivan Theater on Letterman
A troika of rap royalty graced the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater last night, as Jay-Z and Eminem played The Late Show With David Letterman while Diddy looked on approvingly from a seat on the sidelines.
Before the performance, "Jay" and "Em," as Letterman learned to refer to them, did the typical Late Show shtick. Eminem read the Top 10, which included groaners like "Don't get mixed up with drugs, gangs or oil executives," but actually made it funnier by announcing them with a face so straight it looked like someone just shot his dog backstage. Eminem has always been adept at pretending not to be in on the joke, thus making things awkward-hilarious. Remember this? Jay-Z's interview with Letterman, on the other hand, was definitely more on the awkward side than the hilarious side. After a bit of banter, the ever-chuckling host laid a trap for the rap-star/mogul/multiple retiree when they got to the subject of whether Lebron James should come to New York. Being part-owner of the Nets, Jay-Z was not against such a prospect, but Letterman quickly launched into a populist declaration that Lebron should stay in Cleveland and not "cut the heart out of that city." The audience, many of which must have taken a day trip from Ohio, sided with Letterman and gave Cleveland so much love that I was expecting things to burst into the opening credits of The Drew Carey Show. Jay-Z could only peer out sheepishly from under his hat brim.
But he regained his composure once he got to the roof. Following a solid rendition from Eminem of his new single "Not Afraid," the self-proclaimed Greatest Rapper Alive took the stage and performed the heck out of the chant-like "On to the Next One," smiling and working the audience from a bunch of strangers awkwardly swaying and confusedly pointing into something resembling an actual crowd. Eminem then joined him for their Blueprint collaboration "Renegade," giving everyone a taste of what to expect come September when the two play concerts scheduled in Detroit and New York
Those who caught the show, what did you think? Excited to see the two of them sharing the stage? Anyone hoping Letterman would jump up there with them and do a verse, maybe start a rap feud with Leno?
Eminem supports my same-sex marriage? Okay. Where's my gift?
Dear Eminem,
I was totally stoked to hear the news that you've decided to not only stop calling me a f*****, but to also support my gay marriage. Unfortunately, it's been almost six years since the big day, so unlike Star Jones, my wedding registry is no longer active over at crateandbarrel.com. Sad the way time flies, no? But the good news is, I've broken more wine glasses over the last six years than you've had radio hits. A lot more. Yes, what I'm trying to say is that we're equally low on both red and white stems, so whatever you want to get us, really! Oh, but did I mention I'm partial to a massive goblet? Yeah, some things never change: I'm into a healthy pour.
So anyway, best of luck with your upcoming Recovery album, and thanks for finally hopping off the "Sanctity of Marriage" Express (which really ought to be pulling up outside the Bachelor/Bachelorette offices any minute now). Keep an eye out for your honorary toaster! (Two more converts, and I'll qualify for an iPad!)
Read this if you don't know who 'Rain' is, or if you do
Remember when Rain won the MTV Movie Award for Biggest Badass Star and everyone was like "Who is Rain?" No? Well, you were smart to be watching Breaking Bad instead. Here's the deal with Rain. He's a Korean pop sensation with whom Stephen Colbert feuded in 2008 because both were up for the top spot in the Time 100. Stephen challenged Rain's reign with his spoof video, "He's Singin' in Korean." Then Rain actually showed up at The Colbert Report to look his "old nemesis" in the eye, and Rain and Stephen had a proper dance-off. Smoke machines, empty studio, tight red jeans on a respected newsman, a struggle to the near-death for Dance Dance Revolution domination, the works. This time he was DANCING in Korean! Please do relive it after the jump. The takeaway from all of this is that 1) Stephen Colbert is hot; 2) Trivia: Rain played Taejo Togokahn in Speed Racer; 3) This is why every time it rains, I look to the sky, shake my fist, and yell "Raaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnn!"

Justin Bieber's BET nod: Jimmy Kimmel gets opinions from South Central L.A.
Apparently, Jimmy Kimmel was just as puzzled as the rest of us by Justin Bieber's recent BET nod for Best New Artist. But unlike those of us who simply trolled the blogosphere for commentary, Kimmel actually hit the streets, sending a camera crew to L.A.'s South Central to find out what real people think about the news. The results? Some pretty hilarious reactions. Check out the video after the jump, and then sound off in the comments: What do you think of Bieber as a BET nominee?
Akon's new fragrance, Konvict: does it smell like the clink?
Most celebrity fragrances try to evoke images of springtime, fairies, and maybe a little bit of spice — but not the penal system.
That's exactly what Akon's new fragrances for men and women — called Konvict — remind me of. But can you blame me? They're bottled in two separate handcuffs that link together by a chain, each one containing 1.7 ounces of eau du prison yard parfum. Way to keep the theme going with the cuffs, Akon! Does the purchase come complete with your own orange jumpsuit?
Konvict (tagline: "Break free and live the dream") is currently available online, for a special price of $41.95. What's cool is that, according to the website, 10 percent of each purchase will go to Akon's Konfidence Foundation, which is "dedicated to increasing public awareness of the conditions in Africa." Plus, the fragrances sound like they would smell decent — Konvict Femme has lemon, mandarin and vanilla and almond musk notes, while Konvict Homme features bergamot, lemon, and a touch of sandal and cedar wood.

Jay-Z and Jack White: Will this musical collaboration blow your mind?
Jack White spoke to GQ about a recent recording session with hip-hop hero Jay-Z, and sounded quite enthusiastic about the end result: "We did a song together a few weeks ago. It was incredible. I played him something that I've been kicking around for a while and he immediately came out with words for it. It's unbelievable sounding," he said.
White is certainly a busy musician. In addition to his bands The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and Dead Weather, he has recorded collaborations with Beck, Loretta Lynn, and the Rolling Stones, and was recently featured in the 2009 documentary It Might Get Loud, alongside guitar legends Jimmy Page and The Edge. Of course Jay-Z isn't exactly sitting home watching soap operas, as he's currently on tour for his 11th number one album The Blueprint 3. READ FULL STORY

We never hopped on the anti stop-and-frisk bandwagon, believing that while the police tactic warranted some reform, it was not the mass violation of constitutional rights its detractors claimed. And we were among those who worried that drastically reducing stops would lead to a rise in gun violence because criminals would be more inclined to carry, and thus more likely to blast away in the heat of the moment.
But though it's too early to say anything definitive, the numbers so far this year show that violent crime continues to fall even as the number of stop and frisks drops off the cliff. According to DNAinfo, citing police sources, murders are down 18.5 percent so far this year, with 44 people killed compared to 54 to the same point last year. Shootings are down 13.5 percent. Meanwhile police stops continue to drop, down nearly 90 percent from their peak in 2011.
So far at least, Mayor de Blasio, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and, above all, the men and women of the NYPD are to be commended for a job well done.

TRIDEC working to make Columbia Basin like Napa Valley
The project is called Fabreo. It stands for Food and Beverage Retention and Expansion Opportunity. TRIDEC is almost finished surveying 100 companies, 70 wineries and 30 restaurants, about their growth plans, hiring plans, and what the community can do to help them. Many have mentioned hospitality training, culinary training, and high-tech training.
"A lot of things that keep coming up, we just need to develop more of a culinary culture, a food culture here in the Tri-Cities, traffic, they all want to bring more people in, at least the wineries do, of course the hotels and restaurants, especially wineries would like to have more boutique hotels, and more boutique restaurants, and we're seeing some of that happen right now," said the TRIDEC Director of Business Retention and Expansion, Gary White.
The website Fabreo.org will be up and running by the end of the month. The goal is to create jobs, bring in more mom and pops, and fewer chains, as well as make the Columbia Basin a world renowned region.

Tradera.com is one of the leading online commerce services in Sweden, with over 2,5 million members and about one million listings (2011). Although Tradera welcomes members from all over the world, most are Swedish. Tradera was founded in 1999 but was acquired by eBay Inc. in 2006. Tradera was originally based completely on private auctions but today visitors can purchase both new and second hand items through auctions as well as fixed price listings.
On 24 April 2006, Tradera.com, along with its sister site Traderamotor.com, was acquired by eBay for 365 million SEK (about 50 million US dollars)[1]
Tradera was founded in 1999 with Daniel Kaplan as CEO. The objective was to create a service to decrease the distance between collectors in Europe who wanted to trade various types of exclusive jewelry. It was originally intended to be a small project but investors became interested and invested in the company, which led to rapidly increasing expansion plans. However, after about a year in a luxorious office at Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm the company ran out of money as a result of the IT bubble bursting.[2]
In the year 2000, the company switched strategy and acquired two other actors on the Swedish market, Bid2Day and Mr Bid. Jonas Nordlander was made the new CEO and the company managed to avoid bankruptcy, and ended up moving to a small basement office. After the restructuring a small group of representatives traveled around Sweden and met people in various collector communities. Before the breakthrough of Tradera many of these only met a few times per year in connection to a fair or similar event, and the demand for an online service was high.
In 2003, the company had regained its strong position and in 2004 it had about 400 000 members. In April 2006 the company was acquired by eBay Inc. for 365 million Swedish crowns, and in 2011 the member count was up to 2,5 million.
Thousands of items are listed on Tradera, in categories such as collectibles, clothing, music, electronics and art. From having previously focused on private consumer-to-consumer auctions, the service now accommodates both private and commercial sellers. Both Swedish and International visitors are able to use the service, but it is primarily used by Swedish buyers. Although the service is commonly referred to as an online auction service, it is also possible to buy and sell items for fixed prices. The company has previously collaborated with various organisations, and in October 2011 original photographs of the band Army of Lovers was sold through the service as a promotional campaign. As opposed to the major competing service in the Swedish market, the majority of items sold are delivered to the buyer through postal or delivery services.

Hi all, I tried to cover my cake with Satin Ice fondant, however it looks wobbly, like not even when it comes into contact with the butter cream. Could it be because I covered my cake with too much butter cream? Do we just crumb coat the cake or fully cover it? This is the first time I work with fondant so I really don't have any experience.
Im making this cake for my daughter's first bday party on Sunday 15 Dec. Can i cover the cake with fondant on Thursday 12 Dec and refrigerate it? I have just threw away the wobbly looking fondant batch just now in order to save my cake :(
Thanks for all the advise.

How the Working Class have Revitalised Occupation Culture
Posted Under: Class,Education,Protest,Public Sector,Revolution,Socialism,Trade Unions,Uncategorized
"Dirty hippy layabout scum, taking the taxpayers' money and wasting it, not interested in politics as much as his own image or where the next spliff is coming from." Such is the common description of any student on an occupation. Always seen a illegitimate because they don't have proper jobs. Always seen as not really understanding politics because they're too young or too idealist. These words are reserved for students on occupation, as those in student unions are being "socially useful" (I believe the reverse to often be the case.) But in the last weeks we've seen examples of occupations by people other than students. Workers at Visteon car part plants have been staging sit-ins, and this week parents and carers went into Easter holiday occupations of two schools in Glasgow because the local council is looking to close down 13 primary schools and 12 nurseries across the city. Often, yes, occupations are made up of students who have greater flexibility in their time, but occupations have a longer history and one which is often forgotten. Before anyone ever dreamed of 1968, anarcho-syndicalists such as Tom Brown were theorising "stay-in" strikes. He writes:
Consider what happens in an orthodox strike, general or particular. The strikers, who had the means of production in their hands one day, on the next hand them over to their class-enemies in a nice tidy working condition and go home. The railmen and bus and lorry drivers hand over the vital means of transport, without which modern capitalism and the State cannot exist. The electrical engineers hand over the power stations; the gas workers the gas producers; Dockers, ware-housemen and food factory workers surrender millions of tons of precious flour, bacon, meat, butter, rice and fruit. Engineers vacate arsenals which might be used to arm Fascists. Then they go home to sit by grates which gradually become fireless or at tables with a lessening loaf or go out on to the streets to be battened upon their defenceless heads.
How much better to stay at work and do your striking there. Naturally, to many workers this will seem a strange idea, they are used to striking by leaving the job, not by staying on it, least of all to continuing at work and striking at the same time. But stay awhile, all fruitful ideas must have sounded startling at first hearing, as startling as the first steam-locomotive to a stage coachman.
Instead of starving, we eat as we have never feasted before, instead of being clubbed, shot and imprisoned we retain the means of defending our lives. The employing class will be without petrol, heat, electricity, communication or servant. Such a General Strike has been often called The General Lock Out of the Capitalist Class. Perhaps that is a more appropriate term.
Whilst I'm sure that many of those on recent occupations may not go as far as Brown, the reason why these protests have shown themselves to be so successful is that they do scare the state, they do scare the owners of the factory, or the high-up administrators of the institution. The student movement has, for all intents and purposes, reinvented the sit-in, but the working class using tactics such as these can produce real changes. In some ways the student movement has reinvigorated that old structuralist notion of power in space, an the fact that this is being taken on by fresh campaigns, and by people who one would not normally associated with hippydom, mummy and daddy funding their idiosyncrasies, or an over-reliance on trance music, must be seen as a positive step. It has been made clear that whilst we march on Westminster every other month, sometimes more often, we are rarely listened to. It has been made clear that the petitions we sign are never read. People, now, who wish to tackle an immediate social issue (whether that be loss of public provisions or loss of a job) are being forced to look for other means not to simply express themselves (this was never what marches, protests, and petitions were about anyway), but to create change.
I'm sure a lot of the readers will have been following what's been going on with Visteon, but I thought I'd go into a little more detail about what's happening in Glasgow schools. Glasgow Council is currently looking at closing 13 primary schools and 12 nurseries in an attempt to save some money. The result is that kids will have to travel miles to school, often at great inconvenience to their parents, and possibly at danger to themselves. The study that the council has done has been poor, and in one case it completely ignores the fact that one of the schools has a special unit for autistic children. The numbers don't add up, and where they do, it is at the expense of local people. Parents have been occupying Wyndham and St Gregory's schools for the last two weeks (they finally ended their occupation today, but the campaign is continuing.) For people wanting to follow the campaign, there are the following resources: a bebo page, a blogger blog, a wordpress blog, and a facebook group.
Maybe one day we may see what Tom Brown envisaged, but for the moment it seems that occupation is being used in a strong and pragmatic way, and the old complaints about students need to be thrown away – rather than being frivolous, those who occupy have shown themselves to be deadly serious.

WTF – Korean Arm Covers
Ok, this was the first time that we had an epiphany while using one of our WTFs. At first we thought this was to cover your arm, so that your arms wouldn't get darkened by the sun. This we found silly, because – well – if you want long sleeves why not go out in a long sleeve shirt? It's not like the sleeves are particularly fashionable. Anyhow, it wasn't until we started using these sleeves that we realized that they're probably less meant for protecting your arms and more made for cooling them. Holy crap were these sleeves awesome for cooling your arms! Sure, they might not look cool, but they feel cool! Hell, why hasn't someone made a full-body suit of this? Korean summers would be muuuch more tolerable if you covered yourself head-to-toe in this wristlet. Though, I'm sure people might stare at you a bit…FOR LOOKING SO COOL! Seriously though: we're still not fully sure what these are for. Anyone? We just guessed that they were to protect your arms, but now we think they're for cooling them. Does anyone have the official answer? We'd like to know.
Otherwise, WOOHOO! It's time for another WTF giveaway! Last time we made the mistake of announcing the contest the week AFTER the first four weeks, so there was a bit of confusion. We'll be doing these giveaways every 4 weeks, rather than every month, which means 13 giveaways a year instead of 12! Sweet! This giveaway is for the Twonkle Cup, Double Eyelid Tape, Ddung Products, and arm covers. All you have to do to enter to win is make your own Twonkle Twonkle Nursery Rhyme! Submit it in the comments here or via YouTube. There's no line limit, but please don't write an epic of a poem :D
On a side note, we're not sure what happened, but within the past week we had something close to 20 emails asking about what camera we use. Why the influx? A lot of people starting film classes recently? Who knows. Anyway, if you're one of the people who are wondering, this is our camera here. It's not the best DSLR video camera out there (we'd go for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II if we could afford it), but for what we need to do this camera gets the job done. In fact, we list our full camera gear here, with all our filters and audio recorders and lenses and whatnot, if you're geeky and interested as well.

You have to admit those rhymes were legit.
Twonkle twonkle little starWhy are you so fricken far
All the way in Korea
Far far far from my home town
Twonkle twonkle little star
One day I'll be where you are -

twukle twukle luttle star im getting really bored
Twonkle twonkle little star
Sitting over there at the barHair so silky like a 러시안 사람

Without this latex on my wood -
Twonkle, twonkle little star,
You're on a mug that's delightfully bizarre.
It's such a daebak treasure find,
How I wish that it were mine!
So please spronkle me with some magic dust,
'Cuz naneun ottoke if this song's a bust?!(Hey Simon__ you'll gimme at least one point for incorporating the word "bust" into my ditty, yeah?)
Twonkle twonkle little star
How the Vikings dream to bar
Up upon the sea so rough
Like a brown ëš± feeling buff
Twonkle twonkle eat kimchi
How I wonder you in tea -
i actually bought these thinking they were for keeping your arms warm. I bought them in February and went for a run in a t-shirt and these with my running pants. They were pretty much like refrigerators for my arms.
Most Koreans wear them? I see only hikers wear them. When young people see that thing being sold on the subway, most of them might think, 'who buys that kind of stuff? That is really hilarious… OMG that woman just bought it! Why are they buying that?….'
I'd love one of those!!!!! Haha idk y they just look cool…

Up above the worlds so high, Like a russian-saram in the sky~!
Twonkle Twonkle little star, Hey baby get in my car~! *intense eyebrow wiggles* -
Twonkle Twonkle little star
Korea is so damn far
I always want to visit
But the price makes me go "SH*T!"
Twonkle Twonkle little star
How I wish it wasn't so far. -
Twonkle twonkle little star,
Get that Spudy in the car.
Drive drive drive him to the vet,
Where little Spudy was first met.
Once he's there he'll get his shot,
Barking, crying, whine a lot.
Then you'll drive drive drive him home,
Where little Spudy chews his bone. -
Twonkle twonkle little star
why are all the other poems about k-pop stars?
you know, it's really pissing me off
because my creativeness is not on blastoff~
so do i still have a chance to win?
or is it just gonna be my dream?
Twonkle twonkle little star
don't steal the cookies from my cookie jar T.T -
Twonkle twonkle little star
Why, oh why are you so far?
I guess that's a good thing though,
Because you're so freaking chaud, <–means hot in french :D
Twonkle twonkle little star,
Please don't give me a big scar. -
1. Twonkle twonkle little star, tried to get to you by car. Public transport costs too much, be it train or tram or bus. Twonkle twonkle little star, would love to visit but it's too far.
2. Twonkle twonkle little cup, for drinking soju with gimbap. Hard to walk now, falling down. Waigooks make video of me now. Twonkle twonkle on the road, too drunk to find Engrish rhyming word.
3. "Twonkle twonkle," says my mug. Winter's cold – no Spudge to hug. Ddung on my face makes me smell like gran. Want waigook eyelids – now I can! Flapping wristlets make me fly. Twonkle donkey, in the sky.
Twonkle twonkle my little star
You ran away and left me a scar
I only wanted one wish
But you're always selfishTwonkle twonkle my new star
Don't be like my old star
You're my new best friend
I'll be with you till the endor
Twonkle Twonkle, what did I eat?
To pronounce you weirdly all week?
Twonkle Twonkle, whatever you are
When would my "i" be an "o", when I say you out loud?Twonkle twonkle, what should we do?
I'm old but you're still you.
Twonkle Twonkle, oh just please.
Be pronounce like a normal twonkle!Oh bummer! I said Twonkle. I mean… Oh never mind.. Aisshhh
I wrote 3. Excuse the lameness:
1) – Twonkle twonkle little star
Why are you so inexplicably far?
You shine so bright, just like a dream
More beautiful than I've ever seen
You "twonkle twonkleâ€, so I've been told
One day I'll "twonkle†with you, Seoul2) – Twonkle twonkle little star
The way you shine is rather bizarre
You "twonkleâ€, not "twinkleâ€, what an extraordinary sight!
Is this a special occasion, or is it for every night?
Well, continue to "twonkleâ€, little star
You're special to me
Yes, yes you are3) – Twonkle, twonkle little star
YG forgot Australia

He'll take them everywhere except here for "Big Showâ€
So "twonkle, twonkle†you, YG
We'll get our revenge, just you wait and see -
Twonkle twonkle little star
You don't know who's martina?
Did you forget where we are?
You hate this love song? Which part?
Are you on drugs, it's not that hard.
It's Eatyourkimchi with Simon and Martina~
Oh hey Simon, hey martina.
We should kick this kid out of the car.
I think he's dunk and forgot… WTF??
Don't put that ddung stuff on my butt!
Where did you get that stuff anyway? Korea?
They do make some weird things, huh?
Eyelid tapes and arm covers? How bizarre.
Oh I want~ but I don't know how much they are…
I can have them if I win? A rhyme? Wait, what?
Well I guess I'll have to try very hard.
I'm confident to hit it out of the park.
Better than GD smashing the guitar.
Imma win me some ddung perfume for my spar.
I'd be posh and have some cigars.
But I can't so wish me luck.
ë~Oh god, this is sooo long… Bear with me, yeah?
Twonkle twonkle little star, some chick broke gd's heart.
GD's knife looked fairly sharp, I hope She's Gone very far.

Hollandaise sauce is a wonderful naturally low-carb topping for omelets and quiches as well as Eggs Benedict, broccoli, asparagus, Veal Oscar, and many other foods. Making one the traditional way (double-boiler) is really not necessary.

Beautiful color, almost blue-black. Dramatic look but a hard to rate mascara because you have to use it over another mascara on the tips (or save for nightime) due to the thickness, but more importantly -- like others, I bought this especially because it was supposed to be waterproof. And it isn't. Not on me, anyway. I use eyelid primer, and/or Clarins eyelash fix over it to stop the smearing.
FYI: The non-waterproof seems to get better overall reviews (haven't tried it yet.) The depth of color and thickness for special occasions mean I will buy it again unless I find something comparable but cheaper or more waterproof.
Edit: got to be fair and up it to 4 lippies for the color, and how much I use it. Haven't been able to find anything else like it... but I keep looking, because I'm switching to healthy/organic.
I really assumed Dior to at least perform decently if not way better than the drugstore brand I was using which costs around $5...I was wrong to make that assumption..This mascara worked okay for about a week. It gave decent hold to the lashes but nothing special...Not long after I bought it (7-10 days), it dried up. I only opened it maybe 4 times within that time frame. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone.
This mascara is gorgeous!! It has a thick brush which makes your lashes really stand out and full looking (I have quite long eyelashes but they're not curly). The formula is really black like a kohl effect for eyelashes. And it lasts all day without smudging!!
I tried this for the first time last night. I wish the brush was more like regular diorshow. I had great results with it though. I didn't notice any flaking but I will have to use it some more to be sure. I wear contacts and my eyes tend to water some so waterproof is a must for me with my mascaras. I will have to wear this in the summer when i go swimming to see how waterproof it is.
I love really black lashes, I know they say those who are fair should use a more brown mascara but I dig drama lashes and liner. I may update this review depending if my view changes but so far it's not HG status but I would buy it again.
Dramatic Lashes?? Pfffft please!! Yes it is a deep black colour and that's the only positive, it irritated my eyes (never happens) and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to lengthen nor volumise my lashes at all. I paid $52 AUD from Department Store so item is genuine. Massive disappoinment, will never repurchase. Barely worth using, even for a natural look it's useless
I had a tube of this a few years ago and I loved it, only used for special occasions and found that it really gave the voluminous look for night time. I decided to re-purchase as the first tube dried out (after quite a while) and the second tube I've bought (for $60AUD) has dried up after only 1 1/2 months of use, not even every day use -it's gone clumpy and I'm barely able to use it. I'm now using a Napolean mascara which I'm finding a lot better and much more gentle on my lashes!
Love love love this mascara! I really like super black eye products - eyeliner, mascara etc, and this is a fantastic mascara! I love that it doesn't goop up your lashes even if you're wearing several coats. The brush has a nice curve that allows you to get to the root of your lashes-- that can be difficult to find in some mascaras. This mascara doesn't clump up and doesn't dry out as fast as other mascaras. I find some mascaras dry up really quickly, but I've used this mascara for longer than the recommended 3 months before and don't find any issues with it drying and clumping.
The only drawback I find with this mascara is the feature I liked the most about it - it's waterproof. This isn't just waterproof though - I find it can be really difficult to remove! I've tried a bunch of different eye makeup removers and I find it can be a really tedious task trying to remove the mascara at the end of the day. I use the clean and clear makeup dissolving wipes and they remove makeup really well and I still find it difficult to remove all of the mascara without pulling out a few lashes. That being said, I have used the diorshow blackout that is not waterproof, I find this one to last longer and no matter what the day brings- this will not budge!
It is pricey -- about $30-32 cdn for a tube - but as I've said in other reviews about diorshow mascara, it's well worth the price! Definitely in my top 5.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My new HG mascara! Definitely one of the best I've tried (even as good as my trusty MAC False Lashes Mascara!). It is super black and brings out as much length in your lashes. My lashes are really fair with blonde tips but are quite long, but you can never see them. The black makes them look huge! It volumises really well, and also holds curl. I was surprised by how well it separates them as well! It ticks all the boxes. The formula is nice and creamy and dries perfectly - not too quickly but it isn't wet either. It's very buildable, 2 coats creates an amazing amount of drama but doesn't clump. It's easy to work right into the lashes as well. 1 coat is also fairly natural for people that don't like their lashes huge! I'm really happy with this product and will definitely try again :) I just wish I discovered it earlier!
This is my current HG mascara. I've tried several since getting it and can't find one that matches it's performance. This mascara creates dramatic lashes. It volumizes really well and lengthens. The packaging is sturdy and a large tube with a nice big wand. I almost didn't buy this because I had purchased one of those sample packs of Dior Iconic and Diorshow at Sephora with two little tubes. Those mascaras were so awful. They were dry and I think maybe a little old. Then I decided to give the full size BlackOut a try and I'm so glad I did. It's expensive but it lasts a while since it's such a big tube.

A while back I wrote "25 Things I Learned From Opening a Bookstore." This is the other bookend.
1. When people ask why you're closing, you can tell them that the economy's poor and people are buying Nooks. But it's more fun to tell them that it's time to move on because you've read everything in the store.
2. Two out of every three people will believe this.
3. The rest won't believe you're really closing until you quit putting free gum in the gum bowl.
4. A Butterfinger dropped in a box of books in the back room and then forgotten will still be good when you find it and eat it seven years later. The same is not true for the cup of coffee you set down while searching for the Butterfinger.
5. If you lined up all the left over Harlequin romances from shuttered bookstores and took a picture, you'd have an excellent image of infinity to add to the post on Wikipedia.
6. Left unattended in a back room, used books reproduce like rabbits. Which is one of the reasons it took so long to find the Butterfinger.
7. When you have a half off sale, neither you nor half of the people checking out will know what half off of $7.50 is.
8. And, no, it isn't $3.25.
9. If it's a two part test and you also need to know what half off of $3.50 is, you find out that it's true. We really aren't smarter than the average fifth grader.
10. It's never good to throw away books. However, if it's true that the exception proves the rule, Harlequin romances are the exception.
11. A lot has happened in the seven years I've had the bookstore: moms took over Facebook, gay marriage became a reality, marijuana stores came to Main Street, Vampire and Zombie books got their own sections and 13,892,641 people self-published a book instead of browsing in a bookstore.
12. Don't fact check the above number. I found it hidden in the fiction section, along with every single gum wrapper that the kids who came in for the free gum didn't throw on the floor over the past seven years.
13. For every monthly poker game, there are 10 monthly bookclubs. Which might make you think that bookstores do a brisker business than gambling boats, but which isn't true. What is true is that every single poker player thinks they're good enough not to need a "How to Win at Poker" book.14. Putting up signs throughout the store helps to reduce inventory when closing up. "Shoplifters Will NOT Be Prosecuted," helps more than "Buy Two, Get One Free." "We Accept Bad Checks," hardly helps at all since no one under the age of 40 knows what a check is.
15. If you sneak two small romance books in with every purchase, in two weeks time you'll still have an unlimited supply of romances. Sneak in the "Left Behind" series of books instead.
16. When you advertise that all books are $1.00, someone will call and ask if you have any leather bound, gilt edged, first editions from the 1800's."You mean the ones that are worth a lot of money?"
Yes they do.
17. If you think people with trucks avoid you when you're getting ready to move to a new apartment, just wait until you're closing a bookstore.
18. Michelle Obama has nothing over the arms of a certain 60-something woman who's closing a bookstore.
19. Other than the size and quality of paper, I will never understand the difference between a comic book and a graphic novel.
20. Whoever said, "There is no such a thing as too many books," was wrong, but is cordially invited to help me pack. Hopefully, he has a truck.
21. If you think you have enough boxes to take all unsold books to Goodwill, you will be wrong by at least half the number of boxes you need. Goodwill was wrong when they said they'd be happy to take however many books you bring.
22. I have tried but totally failed in my quest to see that everyone that walks through the store leaves knowing the difference between fiction and non-fiction. True and not true will just have to do. Even then, they'll still have to think about it.
23. If customers are standing in front of the mystery section looking for Lee Child, and you tell them that the mysteries are in alphabetical order by author names and then leave the room to pack up books, nine out of ten will be standing in the same place, not knowing which way to turn, when you come back.
And, once again, that pesky fifth grader shows his face.
24. Moving your home and closing a bookstore at the same time is not a good idea. The temptation to send the moving van over to pick up all those books and take them with you is great.
25. It is sadder than I thought it would be to close a bookstore--a little like coming to the end of a really good book with a wonderful cast of characters.
BTW, Butterfinger is my all-time favorite candy bar. I'm not sure I would have eaten the one I'd lost seven years ago (unless I put it under a microscope to search for chocolate worms!)
An era is ending, another bookstore is closing.....
You're moving on to book *writing*, right?
You have at least one good book's worth of bookstore stories, then Africa stories, and we haven't even heard yet about the lawyer era : )
There may be other thrift stores that could help. We have City Thrift here and they pick up, still you'd need the boxes, but it may help to spread the wealth.
jmac--As Emmerling noted the other day, there's no reason I can't keep writing about the bookstore. I think there might be a visit from Rena.
Just Thinking--No book writing in the plans. Just some blogging when I'm not watching grandkids and playing with my matchbook cars.
Lyle--Where's my Tom Hanks?!
As for the Graphic novel and the comic book, well a graphic novel is a comic book with delusions of grandure.
Those cars are fun enough for a grandma to decide to retire : )
michelle had nor ever did have anything over you, lady...
Why is marking a book indespensible to reading it? First, it keeps you awake — not merely conscious, but wide awake. Second, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in wordes, spoken or written...Third, writing your reactions down helps you to remember the thoughts of the author...Marking a book is literally an expression of your differences or your agreements with the author, It is the highest respect you can pay him.
Mortimer Adler, book guy.
~There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person.
G. K. Chesterton, in Heretics (1905).
David--I am totally with you on the problem with Butterfingers and was surprised that it was the right texture. Maybe that's the secret--you have to keep them in a box of books for six years.
Just Thinking--Matchbook if I'm buying new, but I'll go with anything at garage sales. And, no, not Africa. They're finishing up there. It will be DC for a while, then Mexico next.
theig--You are definitely not alone. I tend to go towards mysteries, but end up at a romance occasionally. It's the sheer volume of them that gets me. I read somewhere yesterday that Harlequin alone sells four books every second.
Shuffling home
When all the saddest things are
Said and done
And all the words are brighter
In the happy light of
Closing time...
chapter two...
Sorry you're closing.
It seems to me that there has to be a conceptual artist in your neighborhood who could do something really interesting with a few hundred Harlequin romance books. Use them as bricks to build something, paper a wall with their covers, something. Those aren't particularly imaginative ideas, but I'm not a conceptual artist.
Um, you wouldn't happen to have any of Robert Caro's books on LBJ, would you? Failing those, a copy of World War Z? I think $1.00 + shipping is a fair price for Z.
Catholicgirl--I tend to agree. But I think the corner's been turned.
just Phyllis--I have one store that's interested, but we all kind of suffer from an overload of books.
Chuck--Nice. Chapter two, indeed.
kosher--I need to rewrite if customers are coming off as illiterate. Not always quick at math (me included)--yes.
Baffled by the number of books and alphabetizing (me included)--yes.
Interesting and quirky--yes.
But illiterate? No.
I've enjoyed each and every one and admire their interest and dedication to reading, whatever their preferred genres are.
Chicago Guy--Ha. But at least you're still on the upward trajectory.
Biblio--Profit? Was there supposed to be profit?
Gerald--Maybe I'm not moving from those stores, maybe I'm moving TO where they are.
lefty--True that.
I was a big fan of the idea of ebooks years ago when it was totally a scifi idea, & promoted it, but it didnt really occur to me long ago that it would seriously threaten regular books. and thats a kind of tragedy.
anyway, dont feel too bad. I hear barnes & noble is going to close many stores. if a multibilliondollar corp cant cut it either, what chance is there?
hope you didnt lose money on it. you did squeeze out something over the years right?
vzn--I didn't really make any money, but I have no regrets. It was a great way to spend seven years.
kosher--As long as you include me in there too. Those 75 cent answers always get me.
Don't deal with the whole number. Split it and deal with it as a pair of problems. $7.50? Half of $7.00 plus half of 50 cents.
$3.50? Same deal. Half of three bucks plus half of 50 cents.
Half of six bucks plus half of a buck fifty. Then you don't have to add the change.
kosher--I have the $7.50 and $3.50 down pat now and get the bigger numbers in a way sort of like you suggest. I'm still waiting for it to feel more automatic though.
just another--I have lots of ideas and options. I already give to the local jail, there's a Books for Prisoners group in town, a Veteran's Hospital nearby, local airports that I've talked to about setting up shelves with free books, schools, etc. I think they'll find new homes, just like me.
Patrick--Me too. Thanks for coming by.
Go tell this to a true 'Graphic Novel, not comic book!' fanatic, and see what answer you'll get!! :D Me? I'm a comic book nut!!! Use to have tons of them, several were worth quite a bit of money...till I read them!! OH NOZE!! :D What's the point in buying a comic book if you're not going to read them!! ":D
Sorry about the closing......:(
@ 12:41 I bumped into Antoinette Errante.
That's two bumps in a row. She's fun to bump.
Accidents can be innocent fun. NO bump book?
I was sadwhen 'Borders' closed. I visited often.
'd take my best Friends - Nine and four there.
After a Book Store Visit we'd Get Ice Cream.
From Butterfinger wrappers to ending a really good book,, you have won my heart.
Best wishes for you regarding the tumult. I hope the near and long term future is expansive because you definitely have the charisma to be a video teacher
Antoinette--I guess I'll have to be careful how hard I squeeze.
Art--A book and an ice cream=a good day.
Emily--You're too nice. Now I feel compelled to write a wry and witty response, but alas...
greenhorn--There are still bookstores out there. Keep supporting them.
Alysa--I think we both get credit for the "bookend" (definitely intended) pun. Thanks for the good wishes.
Lea--I don't foresee a lot of stand alone store in the future, but maybe in combination with other things. As for me, I'm off to follow my daughter's family around in their travels--hopefully doing a little writing while I help with grandkids.
Jonathan--Thank you.
You might try donating your books to the local public library; they usually take them.
But...I'm dying to know what your Act III will be :)
Con--Goodwill knows where the market it.
Trudge--You win! The boxes are on their way. Sorry about the COD for postage.
V--I'll be traveling along with my daughter's family and playing with grandkids. Hopefully, she'll be posted in The Netherlands some day.
~R~ All the best to you!
On the other hand, I find myself reading books I've had for years, instead of reading the ones I've never read before. I am now reading my way through Patrick O'Brian's nautical novels, but I am planning to give each one away after I finish this re-reading.
I have gone to several used book stores to give away my excess books, but they have ALL closed down.
Please help me out here. What do you do with your old books in this day and age?
tr ig--Thank you. If I end up someplace that needs a deck, I'll know who to call.
Ande--Ahh...I would have loved it if you had shown up one day.
Steven--Missed opportunities....
Terry--Glad you found them funny. I'm never quite sure when I put them out there.
Mary--Thank you. Next book: How to entertain a 2 year old all day and still stay awake past 7:00.
eyespye--I hope you're right about that resurgence even if I'm not around for it. And best of luck with finding your third act.
sage--I can't give you any great help. It's not easy. One of the reasons I've ended up with so many is because people brought them in and looked so sad at the thought of having to just throw them away.
I just know this scenario has to be where Nora Ephron got her ideas for the script for You've Got Mail, and there absolutely should have been a Tom Hanks in it for your trouble. I envy you your freedom now though. Schlepping around the globe. Nice work if you can get it!
All the best to you.
Funny stuff, a compliment I tend to toss around with the frequency and distance of Studebakers.
Keep an eye out for Tom Hanks.
Congratulations. It was a good run.
Open Up another bookstore in DC?

They know I spoil them.
I spoiled and go rotten.
They know I love them.
You could have been a candle, your flame intercepting
the darkness.
Oh, well, even Joseph Conrad used obsolete
Amen to that, Sister!!
22. I have tried but totally failed in my quest to see that everyone that walks through the store leaves knowing the difference between fiction and non-fiction. True and not true will just have to do. Even then, they'll still have to think about it.
Apparently, a lot of writers, editors and publishers have the same problem.
It is sad news to learn of any business closing. Hopes and dreams are in ashes, usually due to high rent and slow sales. On only has to drive through the "downtown area" of any small city and see the "FOR RENT or FOR LEASE" signs in the windows. In my small town, there are at least 18 such situations.
However, my psychic perception envisions you like a Phoenix. You will rise from the ashes with something much better. I wish you the best of luck with that...
