Ah, French pop culture. Not nearly as grungy and suggestive as our trashy rap/ hip-hop scene here in the states. Actually, its really different. Much French pop gives off that feel-good, breeze-through-hair, everything-my-way kinda vibe. They do have rock bands, but in my opinion, those give off the same vibe.
I was curious to know about the French music scene, so taking the most direct route, I asked a French kid, my e-penpal from Paris. She recommended a few artists, one of them being Johnny Depp’s wife, Vanessa Paradis, who apparently sings en francais. Hmmm… She also said her favorite band was one by the name of Kyo, which turned out to be a freakin’ awesome rock band. But my favorite of her recommendations was definitely French band Superbus, which has had songs on Guitar Hero and such. Here’s one of my favorite songs from them, probably their most well-known song.
Do you like it? I think they’re alot like Paramore. hmmm…..
Tell me what you think 
I know what you’re thinking. MMMMM…. iPODS….. LAPTOPS….
Not that kind of M.A.C. silly! Makeup Art Cosmetics, that’s what. It’s definitely the bestest brand of makeup ever. And with such amazing color payoff and a freakishly large selection of every color of anything you can ever imagine, its totally worth the high-end price.
I was bored today, and after getting lots of things from the new limited edition Fafi collection (go here to learn more about the new collection and its inspiration, French grafitti artist Fafi), I decided to show YOU my MAC collection! It may not seem like alot, but this is over 200 dollars of makeup I have accumulated over a period of about 4 months. (4 months ago I discovered MAC and have been hooked ever since).
Here it is!*
All the products with the Fafinettes (the little girls) on them are from the limited edition collection that came out Wednesday.
OK so some of the things have to be opened to see the colors…
So yeah. MAC is AMAZING, and it can be found at MAC stores, their website, and MAC counters in various department stores like Nordstrom. I highly recommend checking out a counter because you can get a free makeover to test the products (don’t be shy, the artists are ALWAYS nice) and see for yourself!
I’m done now.
*I do NOT wear this everyday! I’m not a whore! (I am a mac whore though, but thats different). I only collect because it is an ART! It is FUN to do makeup! I’m not trying to get a date or anything bogus so don’t accuse me of being a bad person! You’re probably just jealous b/c I like makeup yo momma can’t afford (ohh disssss!)! jk. but really. If you have a problem with me, keep it to yourself. K thanks.
I’m really done now.

So I was listening to my local top 40 radio station, Hot 99.5, and of course, every 5 minutes Sara Bareilles’ “Love Song” would play, intertwined with the occasional “Low” and “Teardrops on My Guitar” and whatnot. But then the last thing I expected played! Kane announced that this was a new song, and so I was ready to hear another one of Fergie’s GabaZILLION singles or yet another Timberland song where he never actually sings and has a “feat.” of like the randomest person. Next thing I know, METRO STATION came on with their awesome song Seventeen Forever! I was soooo excited. But then it was quite the bummer, when after the song, Kane gave the impression that the only reason they had played the song is because the lead singer Trace Cyrus is the half-brother of Miley Cyrus. Pathetic. Is that even legal? I mean, they shouldn’t play a band because one of its members (who is by the way my favorite ) is related to one of the brattiest people in pop culture.
Ugh.
I’m done now.

This is why I have a problem with Scientology. Just sit back, try and relax, and soak up this information. Trust me, you don’t wanna miss it. It’s a killer (no pun intended…)
WARNING: like halfway through there is a “graphic” pic or 2, but I don’t think its bad at all (this ain’t no Sweeney Todd.. hehe…)
Now do you see why people have a problem with the Church of Scientology?
Tom Cruise is totally brainwashed.

If you go to Beliefnet.com, there is this amazing test you can take called the “Belief-O-Matic”. Basically, you answer alot of religion-based questions based on your personal beliefs, and based upon those answers, Beliefnet gives you a list of 27 religions in order of compatibility. As you may know (or not, you know I don’t exactly advertise my personal agenda), I recently had quite the fallout with my religion that I was raised in, Episcopaleonism, more christianity in general. I for quite some time could not think of something proper to call myself, because I believed that the term “athiest” had sort of an “I-am-a-rebel-and-I’m-freaking-hardcore-and-I’m-absolutely-gonna-rub-it-in-your-face” kinda tone to it. Then I came across this quiz.
My results? 100% Secular Humanist, 93% Unitarian Universalist, 76% Liberal Quaker, 70% Theravada Bhuddist, The list went on.
But then I got to # 14…
14. Scientology (33%)
What the fruck is that? That’s just plain INSULTING. Scientology is not a real religion! IT’S A FRUCKING CULT! CAN I NOT STRESS THIS MORE?
Other than that, the quiz was muy helpful, and I am proud to almost maybe call myself a secular humanist, maybe Unitarian Universalist, depending on which looks more “me” once I look into them.

Mac Cosmetics is amazing. I am a woman obsessed. Don’t believe me? Ask any of my friends, and they’ll agree. With highly pigmented colors and AMAZING blendability, MAC is the stuff of pros. And the best part? They have so many special edition limited time only collections that come out, I’d estimate, tri-weekly.
Of course, all Mac addicts have heard of the “Barbie Loves Mac” launch, debatably the most sought-after endorsement collection the company ever released. Everything sold out almost instantaneously, and people were buying the entire collection before it was too late.
Well, Mac has done it again, and on Valentine’s day (in North America), Mac is launching an SE collection “Mac for Fafi”, Fafi being the famous French graffiti artist that has inspired kabajillions. This, folks, is the collection you wanna go for. If you missed Barbie <3s Mac you’re OK, because the Fafi collection is going to have just as, if not more vibrant colors and equally-adorable packaging. Here’s a sneak preview!

Turns out that Sunday’s game was the second most watched program in television history, coming up close behind the last episode of M.A.S.H. I know I, for one, eagerly tuned in in anticipation of this year’s million-dollar ad spots: those who don’t are lost in conversations for the next week or so. In a poll taken the day after the big game, it was determined that the most popular commercial from the Bowl this year was the Budweiser dog-teaching-horse commercial. I don’t agree at all.
Everyone knows since Obama paid for a SUPER BOWL AD, he’s definitely gonna get way more votes. Good for him, he’s definitely the best candidate for 2008!
My personal fav? The Pepsi one (“Bob’s House”). I think it’s so cool that they used sign language!
Which 1 was your fav? Comment with their titles and/or a description and I’ll feature them in my next post!

I just added Rina’s List to the blogroll, and let me just say that it is amazing.
It’s probably the best celeb blog wordpress has seen ever, if not one of the best on the internet since Perez Hilton. Please check it out. You won’t regret it. It’s awesome, and Rina is soo nice.
Ilysfm, guys! (insert obnoxious forced giggle here)
OK that was more that awkward.
I’m done now.
