This is why some people get so upset about big companies putting out projects for girls, or analyze their phrasing, or worry about what it means:
Disney Restyles Rapunzel to Appeal to Boys
After the less-than-fairy-tale results for its most recent animated release, "The Princess and the Frog," executives at the Burbank studio believe they know why the acclaimed movie came up short at the box office. Brace yourself: Boys didn't want to see a movie with "princess" in the title.
To make sure their next big animated movie is a hit, they have
Said animation president Ed Catmull, "Some people might assume it's a fairy tale for girls when it's not. We make movies to be appreciated and loved by everybody." Boys are needed in the audience to "make an expensive family film a success." It seems that once again we're stuck in the problem of girls being expected to see entertainment aimed at boys, but boys have to be catered to to get their attention. I guess there just isn't enough entertainment out there aimed at them, what with them already having most of the market and all.
These changes seem to be because The Princess and the Frog made $200-some million instead of $700-some million, as Up did. Could it just be that people are tired of cookie-cutter movies? The Princess and the Frog, which I haven't seen, looked like yet another in the Disney mold, without much to set it apart. I was going to watch it on DVD, coming out this month, but then they decided to cripple that format in favor of pushing Blu-ray.
Disney wanted to label the movie as part of its princess line so they could expand the diversity of characters available for little girls under that branding. (Most of the existing characters are white girls.) Now they are upset that it was thought of as being aimed at those same little girls? You can't get it both ways, guys.
Disney has also shelved plans for The Snow Queen because they thought they "had too many animated girl flicks in its lineup". It would be the fourth in a row with a female lead. How many movies come out every year with male leads? Can we get concern over that? Of course not, that's silly — everyone knows movies are for boys. Girl movies are so rare that they get labeled with their own derogative tag of "chick flick".
On the bright side, the third film in that series of girl leads is The Bear and the Bow, which has Pixar's first female director, Brenda Chapman, and stars Reese Witherspoon. Count me in for that! It's about time Pixar puts out a female-focused film!
One last note: the Comic Critics strip beautifully captures the problems women have supporting media projects that highlight gender.
Update: NPR's Linda Holmes tears into the name change as well, saying
There are princess characters who do just fine with boys, but I think the word "princess" now carries an implication of passivity and romantic fixation and therefore a lack of interest that Disney has created, not discovered.
I suspect that aside from studio execs (male) imposing a paternalistic ideology, the presumption endures that girls still don't spend money on things like movies. It's clearly circular reasoning- if a film aimed at that audience is under-marketed, poorly made, or fails to sell as well as a "guy film", it's perceived as a loss against a greater potential revenue. Therefore, films are still not marketed to "minority" audiences. I'm astounded that anyone still considers females, more than half the population in the last census, a "minority".
Yeah, a crappy guy's movie failing is seen as a failure of the movie — a girl's movie failing is seen as a failure of the audience, i.e "girls don't go to movies" or "not enough girls go to movies".
If Princess & the Frog is a girls' movie, does that make Cars a boys' movie? Or are boys' movies assumed to be the same as movies for everyone?
This extends to the creative people as well. If a woman has a flop as a writer or director? Her future career is called into question. With men, well, better luck next time, and there will be a next time.
Anecdotally, I DO know a couple little boys who refused to go to The Princess and the Frog because it had "Princess" in the name (despite owning the likes of Sleeping Beauty on DVD).
Course, the "Princess" image didn't seem to harm The Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast when I was a kid.
…funny thing is, the fairy tale is called "The Frog Prince". They changed the title explicitly to shift the focus to the Princess.
The Bear and the Bow sounds good, though (stunt casting notwithstanding). A friend of mine commented that Up was great but it would sure be nice to see a Pixar movie about a woman who doesn't die in the first ten minutes.
You'd think in this post-Twilight movie world the idea that "girls don't want to spend money" would be dead. And Johanna – yeah, I think Disney does consider Cars a "boys movie" and have been using it as a counterpoint to their "Princess" and "Fairy" lines that have been successfully marketed at girls. They haven't been doing very well in the "boys" markets (which is why I think they bought Marvel), and Cars has been about as successful as they've gotten.
All that said – Princess and the Frog was surprisingly a much better movie than the movie they marketed. Maybe I just went in with low expectations, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a little formulaic, but they did a pretty good job of fitting to formula while mixing things up a bit here and there. The ad campaign made it look so boring and uninspired that it took a while to get to the theater to see it (we waited until it hit the local $2 theater), but I'm glad we did. It turned out to be a fun movie.
(Part of me wonders the low ticket sales on Princess and the Frog comes from the fact that Tiana is black. I don't want to believe that that would keep people out of the theaters in the 21st century USA, but I guess it wouldn't surprise me as much as I wish it would.)
Jer: That's likely a factor. Unfortunately.
I'm sure I will be pleasantly surprised when I get around to seeing it.
Thad: Boys don't want to see pretty girls if they're called princesses? They must be young.
Rebranding a "princess" story to appeal to guys just seems lazy. Why not come up with something original instead? Then again, this is a recession, so maybe they're trying to be safe.
I predict that it will be neither fish nor fowl, and thus fail.
Weird move here. Especially since Rapunzel's story details aren't really known that well I would expect. I know nothing except she's locked in a tower and grows her hair long so the guy can climb up and save her.
Most of that I learned from that song.;) Nothing inherently…. *girly* to use a term my nephews and nieces tend to use about that….
I find that title, "Tangled," disrespectful to not only the Grimm Brother's title, but to Walt Disney as well. Because that is not what Walt Disney would do when he adapts fairy tales into animated movies. Just because fairy tales that have girlish titles does NOT make it a girlish story. Those people, who complain about fairy tale titles being too girlish, need to understand that those story titles being too girlish happens to be written by MEN before we are even born. Also, they need to understand that they do not write stories just for girls or boys, they write for families to enjoy, learn, and love. I even love the title logo that Disney created for "Rapunzel," and now they want to change it to "Tangled?" That title does not make any sense, and it is misleading. If they ever do change the title from "Rapunzel" to "Tangled," I would find Disney's next CG movie a flop. But, if they leave the title, "Rapunzel," the way it is, and the title logo that Disney created, then I would have high confidence that Disney's next CG movie could be a huge success. So I say to Disney, "In the name of Floyd Norman, a retired Disney and Pixar animator, and Walt Disney's ghost, I demand that you change that dreadful title back to "Rapunzel" at once, or else you will all become a disgrace to Walt Disney forever. And you will fall to DreamWorks Animation forever more." Those boys need to "Dig a Little Deeper (according to the song from "The Princess and the Frog")" on the synopsis and accept the title that is girlish. And besides, Disney arranges the synopsis to make fairy tales more interesting than typical, to make it more FAMILY like even though it has girlish titles. However, some stories with girlish titles may have girlish stories, IF Disney made it girlish. But through Disney's experience, they make fairy tales FAMILY type as always, and that is what makes Disney the best, and forever the legacy. Anyways, since they are going to adapt a Grimm fairy tale into a movie, why not just leave the title the way it is, and just arrange the synopsis? Like I said, those boys need to get used of the title that is written, like Tim Burton's, "Alice in Wonderland." Plus, I have no problem with "The Princess and the Frog," I give that movie infinite A+, especially when Dr. Facilier is a fun villain, evil, but fun.
I understand why they called it "Tangled." Not just to get the boys well entertained, but there are scenes in the synopsis that have created an example of the word "tangled," such as the bandit, named Flynn Rider, who gets "tangled" with Rapunzel after she made a deal for her freedom. Flynn and Rapunzel's romance can be "tangled." Even Rapunzel's hair can be "tangled" as well famous for her 70-feet of golden hair, or blonde either way.
I watched the teaser trailer of Disney's Tangled, it is very cool, but did not show the name of the story. Which means that Disney COULD, but that depends on their version of the story perhaps, change the title back, even though changing the title from "Rapunzel" to "Tangled" is official. However, on the leaked trailer before the teaser trailer that I have watched as well, it has revealed the title based on Disney's title change. It is really cool, but I do not have the taste buds on the new title that Disney made. In fact, I love the title logo that Disney made for Rapunzel; it is very beautiful, and entertaining. It makes me want to see it so much. But since they changed the title from "Rapunzel" to "Tangled," perhaps I could see it, but I would find it a flop.
To tell you the truth, I find that title, "Tangled," misleading, funny, but misleading. To me it is like watching a parody of Shrek, Hoodwinked, and Happily N'ever After put together. But I understand that Disney is sticking to one fairy tale by the Grimm Brothers. But I am afraid what they are doing is disrespectful to not only the Grimm Brothers, but to Walt Disney as well, because Walt Disney would never change titles on fairy tales. He probably does not care about people like boys who complain about fairy tales with girlish titles being too girlish, the only thing that Disney cares about is not only making dreams come true for FAMILIES by adapting fairy tales into animated movies, but to fulfill famous fairy tale writers who has shaped the world of entertainment for every family around the world.
Also, those boys need to "Dig a Little Deeper (according to the song from "The Princess and the Frog")," on the synopsis of fairy tales with girlish titles, because what if Disney arranges the synopsis to make it more interesting than typical? Maybe then, even though fairy tales have girlish titles, but it can have an excellent synopsis for not just girls or boys, but for FAMILIES to enjoy, learn, and love. The only way that fairy tales could be too girlish, including the title, is if the synopsis is too girlish. But through Disney's experience when it comes to adapting fairy tales into animated movies with girlish titles, they are all FAMILY. That is what makes Disney very special.
By the way, I have no problem with "The Princess and the Frog," that I saw. I give that movie infinite A+, especially when Dr. Facilier is a fun villain, evil, but fun. But I can say this, if changing the title is what Disney wants to do to get the boys well entertained along with the girls, it is their movie. But I have a little bit of a bad feeling that their next CG movie could be a flop based on the title change. But if they decided to change the title back to the way it is, then it could be a financial success…I hope.
UGH. The conversation probably went something like this …
"Why did Up! make more than Frog Princess?" "Clearly it was a marketing or appeal problem." "Think it was because Up! was a better movie?" "Don't be silly."
One reason that is not given for the failure of The Princess and the Frog is that it's a black cast film. Has anyone even considered that white audiences didn't want to see this film because it's "a black movie?"
No, instead it they blame the title. Forget "The Little Mermaid," "Cinderella," "Snow White," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Beauty and the Beast," even though those films were huge hits and no one thought girl appeal was a problem with them. I'd bet that if Rapunzel kept its name as is, it would be a hit because it's not about a black princess.
While I'm sure there are racists who think that way, and it may have even been a factor in the film's reception, I hope for a world where people realize that they can learn from stories of people who don't look like them as much as the ones that do.
How long has it been since a standard (non-computer) animated film made a ton of money?
Also, while it might not have been a huge success on the level of Up!, Princess and the Frog was hardly a failure. According to Box Office Mojo, it made $270,431,309 when you combine its domestic and international take on a budget of $105 million. I know that doesn't count promotion costs, but could they have eaten up the $170 million or so above the budget?
And that doesn't count the TONS of money they made and will continue to make from the Princess Tiana character's merchandise.
To get back to the original point, yeah, the title change is dopey. I went to see The Little Mermaid way back when as a teenage boy because I heard it was a good movie. I didn't care about the title. If Tangled stinks, it won;t get more viewers than it would've as Rapunzel.
That's an excellent point. Success and failure are sometimes judged based on expectations, and Disney may have had way too high expectations for this film. Tiana has major long-term benefits for them.
Changing the title of "Rapunzel" to "Tangled" not only doesn't make sense, it alienates those who are familiar with the original Grimm's Fairy Tale. It's like calling Cinderella "Midnight."
When I go to the video store, I always see a lot of films made for black audiences that don't get rented much. In many cases, I didn't even know the films existed. Although Disney did advertise "Frog," I just don't see it succeeding on a major level because many took a pass on it for racial reasons. Had Disney taken the "traditional" route, I believe it would have been more successful. The same kind of thing befell "Treasure Planet," where a departure from what audiences expect from Disney resulted in poor box office.
I might find your anecdotal evidence more plausible if your email didn't include the tag "palefacepride", you know. "Traditional" in your case appears to be code for "white folks only".
This email is my "covert" identity for when I discuss all things racial, regardless of the argument. It's a touchy subject, and I just prefer to remain anonymous, especially on the net.
I just happen to think that with the current crop of tea parties, Obama's low approval ratings, and racial flare-ups, why Disney isn't even considering that the "black" factor may have played a part in low box office for this film is denying an aspect of reality. And racism in America is a BIG reality.
And, to be blunt, "traditional" for Disney in the past has been "white folks only," unless it's a stereotype (like "Song of the South" or the crows in "Dumbo.")
I will also note that Disney's animated black HUMAN characters in feature films were in "Lilo and Stitch," "Hercules" and "Atlantis," all in the 1990s and beyond.
To be honest, Disney has had a "white bread" image throughout its existence. I recall seeing the last "Herbie" film with Lindsay Lohan, and I noted that, although the director was black, the cast was all white. Disney knows who their audience is and aims to sell to that audience. "Frog" was taking a chance that the core audience wanted diversity, and if the box office is an indicator, it doesn't seem so.
What do you think?
I think you're ignoring the success of such films as Mulan, Pocahontas, and Aladdin, all more than "white folks only". Disney aims to sell to all audiences, which is how they became a worldwide media conglomerate.
[…] me is the conviction that only females want to watch female heroes. Although that's a common Hollywood idea, too. […]
[…] that female-centered movies don't sell. (Although more likely, they'll just decide that the changes they made worked. Did you know this is the first princess movie to be rated PG?) Either way, congratulations […]

Wholesale Single Herb Extract Over The Counter Herbals Tea Dr. Zhou's Pain Management Clinic Index |
Aloe Vera; Aloe barbadensis Cleopatra used Aloe Vera as a beauty treatment, and today this remarkable emollient is still used to smooth wrinkles, heal skin irritations, soothe burns (including sunburn) and draw out infection from wounds. Aloe Vera has attracted the interest of modern physicians for its ability to heal radiation burns. Taken internally, Aloe Vera is a powerful laxative, anti-inflammatory and promotes healing. Aloe Vera is a natural source of beta-carotene, minerals, amino acids and the important antioxidant vitamins (A, C, E and B1, B2 and B3).
Beneficial Uses: Aloe is potentially helpful in the treatment of Type-2 diabetes and does not cause weight gain, a common side effect in some diabetes medications. The herb also promotes the absorption of nutrients through the digestive tract and normalizes blood sugar. Indian Ayurvedic physicians highly recommend the use of Aloe internally as a drink that acts as an astringent for hemorrhoids, in addition to stimulating fertility in women. In test tube studies, acemannan, a potent immune-stimulating compound found in Aloe, was shown to be active against HIV. In people with AIDS, it soothes the lining of the digestive tract, increasing nutrient absorption. University Maryland researchers found another compound in Aloe, aloe-emodin (responsible for its laxative effect), which appears to kill the viruses that cause herpes and shingles. Aloe juice also contains aloemannan, a complex sugar that concentrates in the kidneys, stimulates the growth of healthy kidney cells and slows rate of crystal formation. Aloe Vera soothes the gastrointestinal tract and eases peptic ulcer inflammation caused by excess acid, aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs. Ingested, Aloe helps to lower cholesterol, increases blood-vessel generation in the lower extremities of people with poor circulation, soothes stomach irritation and promotes healing. A medically active complex sugar in Aloe stimulates and regulates various components of the immune system, and some clinics have used Aloe Vera to increase the efficacy of chemotherapy treatments when used with other chemotherapy agents. Aloe protects against skin-damaging X Rays - an effective antioxidant that absorbs free radicals caused by radiation. It also reduces inflammation resulting from radiation therapy and stimulates cell regeneration. Applied topically, Aloe Vera is known to rejuvenate wrinkled, sun-aged skin, and will stimulate cell regeneration. Application also promotes the healing of sores, insect bites, cuts and burns, and is an effective treatment against psoriasis and eczema. Aloe contains enzymes that relieve pain, and as a mild anesthetic, it relieves itching and swelling. Its topical application will help burns from scarring. Aloe Vera is an astringent and emollient; it is antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial. A tea made from the dried juice of Aloe Vera Leaf makes a fine mouthwash, effective against cold sores and also a wash for the eyes.

Molecular studies have shown that the members
of the Bombacaceae, Malvaceae, Sterculiaceae, and Tiliaceae form a very well-defined monophyletic group that is divided
into ten also rather well-defined clades, only two of which correspond to the traditional families Bombacaceae and Malvaceae. Some of the remaining groups are included
entirely within either of the remaining families but others cut
across the traditional divide between the Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae. A majority of authors
, most notably Bayer and Kubitzki (Fam. Gen. Vasc. Pl. 5: 225-311. 2003), has favored including everything within a greatly enlarged Malvaceae, and treating the individual clades as subfamilies. The alternative view
is that the individual clades should be treated as a series of ten families: Bombacaceae (Bombacoideae), Brownlowiaceae (Brownlowioideae), Byttneriaceae (Byttnerioideae), Durionaceae (Durionoideae), Helicteraceae (Helicteroideae), Malvaceae (Malvoideae), Pentapetaceae (Dombeyoideae), Sparrmanniaceae (Grewioideae), Sterculiaceae (Sterculioideae), and Tiliaceae (Tilioideae) (Cheek in Heywood et al.
, Fl.
Pl. Fam. World. 201-202. 2007) . For the present treatment, we prefer to retain the familiar, traditional four families, so as to maintain continuity
with the treatments in FRPS, and to await a consensus on the two alternative strategies for dealing with the very widely accepted clades.
The traditional Malvaceae coincides exactly with one of the major clades. The only possible problem is the relationship
with the Bombacaceae, which also has primarily 1-loculed anthers, and some authorities have suggested that the Bombacaceae should be included within the Malvaceae.
Members of the Malvaceae are important as fiber crops
(particularly cotton, Gossypium) . Young leaves of many species can be used as vegetables, and species of Abelmoschus and Hibiscus are grown as minor food crops. Many species have attractive flowers and an ever-increasing selection is grown as ornamentals
. Several have been cultivated for a very long time, particularly species of Hibiscus, and some of these are not known in the wild.[1]

Humminbird 587ci HD DI Review
Overall Rating |

Click Here for the Lowest Price |
The Humminbird 587ci HD DI is a combination GPS and fishfinder that includes Humminbird's trademark Switchfire and Dual Beam Plus sonar technologies as well as their Down-Imaging system all displayed on a high definition 256 color 4.5 inch 640×480 resolution screen that has brightness levels that can be adjusted to read clearly even under direct sunlight. Switchfire brings to the user two modes of sonar viewing. The first is a maximum mode that brings incredible detail of the world below to the screen. Not only the expected cover and bottom, but also water current as well as thermoclines. The second is a clear mode which is for those times when the water is shallow, murky, or filed with sediment. These are times when getting every detail simply fills the screen. Clear mode filters out the unnecessary noise and gives you a clear picture under these challenging situations. Switchfire technology gives the user a detail option under conditions that make other sonars useless. Dual Beam technology sends a 20 degree 200 kHz and a 60 degree 83kHz sonar beam under the boat. The wider beam covers an area that is as wide as the depth of the first beam. These beams can be viewed side by side or in a combination mode thus giving the user a picture of the bottom as well as the surrounding area allowing the sonar to pick up all fish in the immediate area.
Down imaging is added to the feature packed Humminbird 587ci HD DI. Down Imaging is a sonar system that focuses thin slices of sonar waves below the boat in order to produce a detailed image of not only the surface but all cover, structures, and details of the area below.
In addition to these features the Humminbird 587ci HD DI also has an internal GPS system that can track 3,000 waypoints, 50 routes, and 50 channels and includes chart plotting, built in Uni-Map cartography, and an SD card slot for saving additional maps like Navionics and LakeMaster as well as additional waypoints and routes.
The unit is mounted on the included tilt and swivel quick disconnect mount has 2400 W peak to peak power and drop in replacement capability. This is an all in one unit that is affordable, versatile, and a solid budget minded choice.
You can get a great deal on Humminbird 587ci HD DI here.
User Reviews
I was able to buy this model before they discontinued it. I was looking for a smaller unit with Down Imaging, 597 was too big for my boat and my budget. It took only about 1 hour to install but then I spent several hours figuring out all the menus. I have everything setup now and it works great. The background maps don't have lakes that I frequent so I had purchase a Navionics card but that's the only downside to this awesome fishfinder.
This fishfinder is smaller than HB 597, only 4inch screen. But that means you can fit it easier on your dashboard. I bought it for ocean fishing even though Humminbird specializes in freshwater electronics. The sonar works just fine, it stays on the bottom. I used a Novionics card for the GPS and that allows me to navigate through a shallow bay. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase.

I Looove the bobbi brown eye brightener! Since I cannot survive without concealer & it works just perfect for me
Thnx for the opportunity Huda
The YSL TOUCHE ECLAT Radiant touch is truly he holy grail of all concealers. Not only does it give you an instant, luminous "wide awake" appearance when you're trying to conceal dark circles, but this gem does not settle into fine lines/creases. A little goes a VERY long way. It also layers beautifully for a more full coverage effect, yet maintaining a "natural" appearance that we're all trying to achieve. I cannot rave enough about this concealer. It now makes me want to try out other YSL products.
Hope to winn.
Lots of love xx -
My favourite product is the Lancome hypnose doll lashes mascara because it makes my eye lashes look really long and volumized.
OMG!!!! i so wanna win this. anyways i had ur page and liked the sak"s nw… but one problem… ive lost my password for the world press… anyways i love the skin line, its so great and awsome, beacuse when it comes to beauty i think ur skin should come first,, whether u wear makeup or not.. if u have a healthy naturally good looking skin u'll look beautifull in both with or without make up.. but if ur having problems with ur skin then i think the solution is not to wear tones of layer of makeup because it'll make it even worse..
thank u xoxoxoxo -
if i have to pick it will be bobbi brown foundation , its amazing , hope i win :)))

Whoaaaaa. More like HEAVEN IN A BAG! I LOVE Guerlain bronzers. It gives a very natural bronzed look (I use it to contour the face. Just like you taught us ). I also love the Giorgio Armani Face Fabric. Perfect for days when you're feeling low and don't want to overdose on make up.
Actually , SISLEY is my Favorite Product , I used it to my dry skin it gave me an amazing result , my skin now is very nice smooth , attractive & the most important thing my skin is saying now " Good-bye for the skin's thirst " <3 Love you for Giving us such as this product that we can really trust on it …
OMG Huddddddaaaa I so wanna win this dear…it's like a small salon not just a bag .. I would do nething to win this .. I will surely send you me cheeeeekkkyyyy pics with the hamper if I won the same… about the saks fifth avenue, I will be honest last time when I went to Saks was actually the first ever I went there.. and I loved their cosmetics range but one thing I couldnt stopped dreaming of when I even returned back home and have the smell in my fingers also was the Burberry Body Intense! it was such a refined smell Huddie and trust me it leaves you with a sensual floral woody fragnance whole day <3
hey, i'm in!! my favourite product must be the "Clinique All About Eyes". it really reduces the puffiness, and it moisturizes ! i've liked both pages on facebook, plus i've subscribed to your blog
how do you know if we liked those facebook pages? i just did it .. anyway i LOVE laura mercier caviar eyeliners! they are so easy to use and make gorgeous smokey eyes very quickly
Giorgio Armani Cosmetics Luminous Silk Foundation- my fav foundation of ALL time its so light and gives the most gorgeous dewy effect!!
I always get so excited to hear about your contests give-aways, although i haven't won yet this giveaway is a dream I'm obsessed with beauty products like you
1). My favorite beauty product at Saks is Guerlain! I'm in love with the Terrecota bronzer that you suggested to buy. I always heard great reviews on the bronzer but once you suggested to get it I knew this product would be promising. Indeed it was, the bronze to the powder is so natural and beautiful. I managed to work with the number 7 and although i'm not as dark, using the product carefully allows me to get the right color. It is a must have!
Its hard to pick one favorite products because there are way too many, but at the moment I love using my DiorShow Iconic mascara .. gives perfect full lashes without clumping. It's also great for layering (doesn't make my lashes feel fake) and is easy to remove at night. Effortless
I just love the NARS blushes they give an amazing glow to the skin and the Armani products.
Thanks Huda -
I have never been to Dubai and Saks but I am the BIGGEST fan of HudaBeauty, Alyafitsclub and now adventure in Monaland love you guys. more power to you.
I have already tweeted. I am on the name of alluring_attia on twitter -
YSL faux cils, gives amazing effect of longer and fuller lashes and I like the smell
Hiiiiii hoodyy I live in the states and Ive been to the saks here before and I have to say my favvvvv product right now would be at the Beauty Counter is Nars blushes because there pigmented and last a really long time. Especially for those long nights and parties. I always get compliments on it and it's made it on my beauty counter and just like u that's a big thing because I test alot of products. So for this one to make it was a big deal. I apply the blush on the bottom of the apples of my checks and I get this glowing look that's so pretty and looks healthy too. I love you hoodyyy and I literally check your blog every second to see if you've posted anything. And all your remedies I've tried and tested. I'm obsessed with your blog I swear it's a life saver sometimes. Thankyou so much for all you do your an amazing beautiful woman
Loveyouuuu xo -

I love the Armani foundation i recently bought- perfect color match and coverage is fantastic!!
I Love Love Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick Compact Bronzer at Saks… The shimmer is a killer!! Pick me pick me pick me
Big fan of Bobbi Brown products. I picked up a blusher after a makeover- it's the best thing evaaaar =) All u girls should try it out.
Armani's excess eyes to kill mascara is my favorite. I have one in my bag incase im in a hurry to leave home
I bought this sometime back- it's a moisturizer By Terry and it's tinted (got a light pink color) and it's made out of roses- cant remember the name now bec Im at work lol…but its an amazing moisturizer- i use it as a base before foundation or as a blusher on the cheeks when i want a subtle pink-ness on the cheeks It's also got these tiny shimmer particles. i also use it as a highlighter at times (yea I know…i try to find multiple uses with one product).
I love the Estee Lauder nailpolishes and the eyeshadows- totally go bonkers over it. Can I say I have a nailpolish collection of Estee Lauder (over 15 shades).
Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner. I dont leave home with it. And I also thank Cleopatra for the look
I love Bobbin Brown! i have been using the Apricot blusher and its so good, i actually must always have it in my make up bag <3 Nars blushes are so good too !
WIN ME A GOODY BAG :p
i know this is randomly chosen, i just had to say the sentence and get it out of my system LOL -
I LOVE being able to get everything i want at saks! I got my favorite Bobby Brown limited lip stick from there "Hollywood Red" and my favorite D&G shosies :D! xXx
I love the dior airbrush foundation because it gives you that smooth finish and lancome skin care products Genefique youth activating serum and the under eye cream it really reduced the dark circles around my eyes
My favorite beauty products of all time are literally ALL Estee Lauder products (make-up & skincare), it keeps the skin rich, healthy and perfect! I also LOVE the DiorShow Maximizer because it made my lashes thicker, which looked better on me. Ofcourse, i tried many other products, but i would love to win this Beauty bag so i can try new things. (I liked both pages on facebook long time ago- & i tweeted it)
My favorite product is Dior Show Maximizer…awesomeeeee
I love Bobbi brown lip glosses and Nars blush. They are both great products and work so well with my skin tone.
i love Bobbi brown eye shadow palate , so pretty and does wonders for me
i got myself the Geurlain terracotta bronzer- its my faaaaaav, it not only smells wonderful but i can contour my face a bit with it
I'm obsessed with Dior Show mascara, it just makes me wanna go out and flaunt my beautiful eyes <3
I love Estee Lauder's entire double wear line. Its amazing because make up products never seem to last on my skin, but the double wear products are great at staying put all day! If i had to choose one product from the range i guess it would be Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation!
To be honest, i've never been to the Saks beauty counter but I wanted to enter just for the sake of it! I'm new with the makeup thing and I've been watching your videos to learn how to apply it
My favorite product that can be found in Saks is Marc Jacobs perfume Daisy. And I love it because I truly believe that smelling beautiful is just as important as looking it.
xxAnd I just love it because I think smelling beautiful is just as important as looking it.
xx -
Huda can I enter the contest even If i live in Europe!?
Anyway I looove Yves Saint Lauren product's because he has really nice beautiful colors of eye shadows and lip colors….and I also love Estee Lauders lipsticks because they are soft,shiny and refreshing. -
I LOVEEEEEEEE SAKSDUBAI CAUSE YOU LOVE IT :p ~!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
YOUR CHOICES ARE THE BEST ALWAYS TRY YOUR BEAUTY TIPS AND MASHALLAH , THEY WORK SO GOOD and are very helpful <3 I LOVE YOU FOR THAT.
I love Bobbi Brown eyeliner because it is creamy and it can be applied easily on my eyes.
J'adore Dior !!! Simply FEMININE ..
i love armani and bobbi brown products <3
Nars – Laguna bronzer, the only bronzer i have come across that doesnt have the orange tinge to it, a very natural looking brown with a slight shimmer. Its gives you the holiday glow without looking tango'd.Great for contouring.
If this Goodie bag includes all my favorites beauty products and high brands how can I NOT enter the competition !!! I cannot resume my beauty products to one or too but I seriously love all Lancome mascaras from Hypnose drame to Doll eyes ! Mascara is my favorite beauty product because it arrange the shape of the eyes by popping out the lashes and it gives a black eye liner effect !
From Giorgio Armani I mean he's a legend !! I didn't get the chance to try the make up but I love my F/W sunglasses from the new collection ! Saks is such a fabulous store ! I wish it opens in Beirut I mean it's a MUST ! Hmmm what about Hermes I just adore everything Hermes including the Birkin and the Hermes scarfs are just HEAVEN ! Khalas ! this is a MUST have Goodie bag ! My faves !!! <3 I love you huda for your competitions and the time you give to tell us about your favorite beauty tips and what's new <3Lots of LOVE <3 xxxx
I love the Bobbi Brown brand they do amazing products such as the creamy lip color and I also like the Make up For Ever Aqua eyeliners my favorite are the gold and turquoise ones
DIOR counter!! I looooooove the red poison perfume,, it's my all time fav!!! have used tons of this perfume & can never live without!!
Uhhhhh Anything NARS!
YSL toche eclat is the best cover up for eyes, around the lips, and nose. I def use it to brigthen my eyes, shape my nose, and make my lips pop. It's so verstalie. I LOVE IT!!!!!!
i like and use Armani eye shadows and eye liner and sheer foundation also Dior mascara and lipsticks and powder and perfumes. Those product gives glow and classy beauty because they are too feminine
My Favorite product purchase at Saks Fifth Avenue is Makeup!!
My favorite is face foundations from Terry !!! They are the best foundation, it lasts long,gives a incredible natural and radiant look and makes you look young
I am definitely hooked to Terry for LIFE and it is part of my life!!! No doubt.I prefer Lancome Artliner the BEST its comfortable pen brush really define eye and easy application. For eyes I am hooked to Lancome for Life.
For skin care La Praire is advisable little expensive but the best skin care product.
Hi Huda, Thanks for having this amazing competition!! The goody bag is full of my favorite products and it would be awesome if I win!!! My favorite product at the Saks Beauty counter is the Lancome Visionnaire… my skin looks fab …I call it my miracle cream .also love the Bobbi Brown eye shadpw pallette…makes my eyes look so beautiful
I absolutely adore the Givenchy Acti'mine primer! There is no need to put foundation of concealer after applying this. It stays on my skin for 10+ hours during the summer! In addition, it has an SPF of 15 which is also necessary to live in a climate like UAE. So skip Foundations, Concealers, Moisturizers and Sunscreen by only applying this. I know I sound like those people from advertisement but I am absolutely in love with this!
PS – That tiny tube lasted for 2 years with me! Yes, you just need a small amount of it to cover your entire face. So total value for money!
I love how hydrating Estee Lauder lipstick are!
At the saks Beauty counter I get confused with the wide range of brands and products but recently I would prefer to buy the Burberry and Hermes new perfume collection and Bobbi Brown eye shades and lipsticks and Guerlain products……… Clarins face hydrating creams and much more
I love their bobbi brown corrector and concealer. I have extreme dark circles and no other brand concealer has provided me with that much coverage. I'm in love with their products <3 I am also planning to buy their gel liners next.
I Love All The Products At Saks Fifth Avenue. The Products Are Amazing.
My favorite item/product would have to be the bobbi brown longwear eyeliner! It's easy to apply and it is as easy to take off, which is great!!! Plus there's a variety of different colors, as most of the bobbi brown products have!
Already liked both yourself and saksdubai on facebook!
Love xx

The Dancing on Ice 2012 final kicked off in spectacular style with Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean performing an extra special version of their iconic Bolero.
As well as the spectacular skate, super soprano Laura Wright and operatic tenor Noah Stewart's delivered a beautiful vocal backdrop.
The performance was even more dramatic when flames burst out from around the ice – quite a sight.
Torvill and Dean first performed the Bolero at the 1984 Winter Olympics, where they became the highest scoring figure skaters of all time (for a single programme).
The Bolero has since gone on to become a highlight of the Dancing on Ice final, with celebrities desperate to perform their version of the dramatic routine.
Tonight, Chico Slimani, Jorgie Porter and Matthew Wolfenden will battle it out for their chance to skate the Bolero – but only two will get the chance to showcase the routine in a bid to be crowned Dancing on Ice 2012 champ.
Who will it be? Team Matthew, Team Jorgie or Team Chico?
We'll find out as the Dancing on Ice final continues on STV and ITV.

National Rental Car's OneTwoFree Will Keep You Driving All Season Long
It�s our favorite time of the year when it comes to rental cars, as the rent one get one option comes back for the fall. National Car Rental is usually the leader when it comes to this type of promotion, and this year is no exception.
Car rental junkies and business travelers can score a free rental day after completing two qualifying rentals�two or more days in a mid-sized car counts as one rental. They�re calling the promotion OneTwoFree, and it�s a great way to add some freebies to your travel wallet. Things started up on September 9, and the promotion is scheduled to run through the end of January. That�s means that you have more than enough time to score some free rental days.

The Return of the $10 Rental Car Deal
Earlier this year we saw the annual return of the one-way rental car deals out of places like Florida, but this year the deals weren�t as extreme as in years past. Thankfully the rental car companies must have come to their senses, as it looks like the deals have expanded and become an even better deal.
Up first is Avis, as they have too many cars down in Florida and need to move �em elsewhere. You�ll be paying $9.95 per day for subcompact through standard car options, and you have through June 30 to book things and to get moving.
Enter AWD # S705900 when you�re ready to confirm, and you should be all set. All the details including the pickup locations can be found right here, as well as the drop off locations which include spots like New York, Connecticut, Michigan, Illinois and Colorado.

The Mega Rental Car Deal Returns: Cheap Rentals Out of Florida
Each and every year the rental car companies call upon intrepid road trippers to help them out, as they have just too many darn cars hanging out in the Sunshine State. Start planning where to go and when to travel, as one-way rental cars heading out of Florida can be had for a steal.
Hertz is leading the rental car convoy this year, and they�re doing it with the $5 per day deal. There�s really no catch, as all you have to do is promise to rent a car in Florida and return it to another state. Book now and do your thing on the open road between April 24 and June 12, and you should be all set. The code you need to use is "DRV5,� but if you click right here you should land right at the booking page.

"Fixed problem in my Admin account"
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
One one machine I did an 'upgrade install', and the account with administrator privileges wasn't working correctly. The Finder wasn't loading correctly, but I could get the Terminal app and System Preferences to launch. I was able to run Software Update, and after X.5.1 loaded, the system rebooted and fixed whatever that problem was. Now Finder launches just fine, and overall Leopard boots much faster than Tiger.
I'm still not 100% convinced by some of the changes in Leopard, but overall this update gets high marks for somehow fixing the problem I had earlier.
Still, I can't say I'd recommend a 'upgrade' install; 'Archive-and-install' is a lot safer.
