Philippe Katerine, "President Moi, I would impose the tarantella and stuffed in schools"

(Image:cheap short prom dresses)

In France in 2020, a secret meeting was held at the Elysee to go up the side of President Bird, played by Philippe Katerine in Gaz de France. The film is screened in the most off parallel section of the Cannes Festival, Acid ...

"This president wants to do, without any cynicism, and of course refers to other presidents," laughs the singer and comedian who said he had "inspired of [his] father" to embody.

A number of solutions are being considered in the script of this fiction film written by Benoît Forgeard and Emmanuel Lautréamont. 20 Minutes asked Philippe Katerine to comment on each of them ... What he did with a lot of fantasy.

First solution to begin the reconquest: Music In Gaz de France, President Bird always ends his speeches or interventions by a song. Philippe Katerine, music, "is fundamental because it is the generosity." Also sing: "it makes you want to be together." And then there are the traditional dances, "President Moi, I would impose the tarantella, the quadrille and stuffed in schools. "

Second solution: self-mockery The movie mania of self-mockery, as with the newspaper headline headline "Bird is cooked" in the wake of a disastrous performance of a new president on television ... "If I were president I would serve in a slightly less than him, "says Philippe Katerine. But it must be that the film makes laugh. "Personally, I appreciate the mea culpa of Francois Hollande, for example, although it is not quite self-deprecating. "

Third solution: escape Just announce my death, suggesting at one point the president Bird. "To disappear on its own, without dying of it, I have a neighbor who did Vendée. And I understand, "said Philippe Katerine.

Fourth solution: love It is a French representative council convened in the Elysées basements that this idea: to encourage the President to declare that Bird is love ... "President Moi, I would never do that: it is even what seems most cynical said Philippe Katerine. I fall in love, but then I would disappear. I would live this history thoroughly, but in the greatest secrecy. "

Fifth solution: bomb the banks And if the most radical solution was also the most effective? Bomb the banks in any case the final decision will be taken, totally improvised, President Bird in the movie ... "The solution is radical indeed, but the temptation is strong. The policy of scorched earth, I think if I were president, I would serve a lot. "In practical terms? "I would see us well return to the days of barter ... The euro, all this is still largely old-fashioned ... But I believe that my program would stop there. "

My therapist broke up with me after only three sessions

(Image:2015 prom dresses)

It took me three weeks to find a therapist. My anxiety was out of control — days without feeling like I could breathe, zero ability to relax or wind down, zooming through to-do lists like the world would collapse if I didn't complete them. I called my employer's work-life balance hotline. I set up an appointment to establish care with a general physician — after a year of having health insurance and never bothering — who agreed I should seek out someone to talk to. I researched and finally found a program that allowed me to see a therapist for lower-than-average cost.

I picked my therapist because she identified as feminist. She had experience dealing with anxiety. She was less than a 20-minute drive from my house. It took a week of waiting after that to finally get to see her.

I’m not sure what I expected from that first visit, but I figured it would be awkward. I searched Google for "what to expect from your first therapy visit." I called friends who I knew saw therapists regularly.

I filled out a form and then I talked at her for an hour. At her. I told her my mom had died the month prior. I told her my 17-year-old brother had moved in with my husband and me. We adopted my mom's dog. That I could barely remember a moment of my mother before she got sick with stomach cancer. That I had been filling my life up with lists for months, if not years, and I was good at them, too good at them... that I was afraid I would look back in 60 years and think, "Well, at least I got a lot of errands done."

"What I really think I need," I told her, "is to figure out how to put up boundaries and actually make time for myself. I need to stop taking responsibility for everyone else's life. I feel like most everything else will come from that."

"Uh huh," she said.

She really didn't say much, I noticed. She would offer anecdotes about her life, and sometimes agree with me. She would nod her head empathetically. She would ask me situational questions — how's your marriage? How's your brother adjusting? How's work?

She never asked me: Why? Why do you think that is? Why do you feel that way?

She told me to read a book. She told me to do yoga. But, it felt good to talk to someone — to have a guaranteed place to go and let it all out in a way that would have overburdened my friends and family.

At my second appointment, I talked at her again. She told me she was busy for the next two weekends, but could schedule me in after that.

When I went back the third time, I didn't have much to talk about. The weeks between appointments had been good. I'd set aside the majority of my after-work hours to spend time writing, reading, drawing. I was beginning to feel like myself again, that I'd started arranging my life in a way that allowed me to breathe. I told her as much.

"I'm proud of you. It sounds like you're doing well," she said. I thought it was really early to say she was proud of me.

"I don't think you need me anymore," she told me.

Oh.

Sort of baffled, I pushed to schedule an appointment a month away — just in case, to see where I was at. When I got in my car, I realized I didn't want to see her again. If she didn't think she could help me, she probably couldn't. A few days later, I emailed and cancelled the appointment.

So, here I am. I still feel like I could benefit from someone urging me to think through my own thinking. I imagine that finding time for myself will only go so far. I imagine that I will overtax my friends' empathies when I just can't shut up, because I can’t, because there is too much to talk through.

I am also afraid to try someone new, to start the process again, to find that they only want to help through the brunt of things — the who's and how's and what's — and never ask me why. How do you research and find a person who understands we are always going through something, even when you have figured out how to breathe again?

I feel lucky that I am not in a dire mental health crisis where my options would be to suffer for weeks while actively seeking help or checking myself into a hospital. I feel lucky that I was able to afford the three sessions I went to.

And I feel scared for the people who are less proactive, to-do-list focused and extroverted, who really need someone to pick up on the nuances of their situation. There isn’t really a Yelp for therapists. And as much as we like to say, "You should really talk to somebody," the truth is that therapy is expensive. It is not covered by health insurance. There are few and far between sliding scale options. And on top of that, not every therapist is a good person to talk to. Who do we talk to then?

According to the website, the founder Ariana Huffington has never managed to agree with the boss of AOL, Tim Armstrong, a divorce and long smoldering.

On the side of technology sites Engadget and TechCrunch, Verizon may soon have a conflict of interest. The company has attempted to briefly launched a rival site, last year.

With the recent passage of a law that will be fought tooth and nail by telecom operators, absolute editorial independence is more vital than ever.

Rainbow surprise cupcakes are sure to delight

(Image:evening dresses 2015 uk)

These white vanilla cupcakes will surprise everyone with their colorful rainbow filling inside.

I love anything rainbow. I smile every time I see things in rainbow colors, and rainbow food is even better. These cupcakes will trick you too. They seem all plain white and boring, right?

But when you bite or cut inside and see the rainbow, you just have to grin from ear to ear.

It's pretty simple to get this effect too by removing the center of the cupcake and then filling the hole with your rainbow layers of frosting, adding 1 color at a time.

You could also just put the rainbow colors on top of the cupcakes too.

Both ways are pretty special in their own way, as you can see.

Using a knife, cut out the center of each cupcake (save the tops!).

Snip off an end of the zip-lock bag, and fill the hole in the cupcake with each rainbow color in layers. Tap the cupcake after each color to ensure each buttercream layer is packed down.

Top the filled cupcake with a piece of the cupcake scraps you removed.

Frost the cupcake with the white buttercream to finish.

Matilda kahl negotiated with zara for her work uniform

(Image:prom dress uk)

42,000+ shares later, Saatchi & Saatchi art director Matilda Kahl has women everywhere talking about her simplified approach to office dressing. Ad Age interviewed Kahl about her work uniform—black pants, white blouse and leather rosette—that she has been wearing, every day, for the last three years.

For those questioning whether it was the same exact white shirt and pants, Kahl told Ad Age, "No cheating! They are all exactly the same and have been for almost three years, up until a week ago. The shirts had gotten worn out, others stained....So last weekend I spent two days on a rather intense hunt for a new hero shirt. I finally found it at Zara." Of course Kahl needed to order enough to last her another year or so, and after speaking with the store manager, she, "ordered 15 of them, negotiated down the price (as one always should) and walked home with my wardrobe for next year's 254 working days."

Kahl also thanks her uniform for helping with some of her best work professionally—and it almost helped her get a raise. "A friend at work told me that my previous VP at Y&R had come to her a few years ago and been seriously concerned about my well-being after having seen me wearing the same clothes week after week. So worried in fact that she had been working to get me a raise so that I could afford to start dressing properly. Ultimately, I never got that get-yourself-together check, but it would've indeed been amazing."

But Kahl doesn't extend her uniform life to the weekends, "I'm very into dresses... I've never had a problem with being a little overdressed at parties, so during weekend nights I usually run with high heels and lots of colors and patterns."

Why so expensive? When we take our pets to the vet, it always seems like their appointments are so much cheaper than ours, but when it's an emergency, the tab can get out of hand. Kristen Vance, a veterinarian with Homeward Bound Mobile Vet, says there are many factors involved. She tells us that in an ER setting, there are often more expensive supplies needed to treat animals. They'll need diagnostics like blood work and X-rays done and may even need IV medications.

Another emergency vet reached out to us to explain even more. Melanie Galanis of Artemis Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Services gave us a little breakdown of prices. The prices she gave are specific to the mid-Atlantic area, and at least one other person noted that even in the same city, prices can vary greatly, so you can't "take these to the bank," but the info she provided us is invaluable in showing how it gets so expensive so quickly.

She goes on to note that larger dogs (over 80 pounds) could be more expensive because they need more of things like meds and fluids. She also warns that if the emergency requires anesthesia and surgery, the cost could easily exceed $3,000 to $4,000 for things like bloat or a C-section.

How to afford an emergency When we put our call out for input on this, we asked if there was anything people could do to lower the cost. We even asked about negotiating the price (you can do it with human doctors, so why not?). But the vets noted that they're unlikely to negotiate (at least not as much as you'd like). They don't charge as much markup as human doctors, but they still have bills to pay.

We also asked about payment plans, but that's unlikely, too, it seems. Since you typically only see an emergency vet when you have an emergency, they don't have the relationship with you your normal vet may, and it just isn't good business sense. They have a building to pay for, equipment they need and the supporting employees they pay. And that's fair.

But that's not the end of it. In fact, several of the people who responded (including the vets) did have advice.

Communicate. Dr. Galanis said that it's imperative for owners to communicate with the vet about their finances. They can work with you to find cheaper alternatives without compromising your pet's health when at all possible. She also suggests staying current with your wellness visits and to consider (for medications that apply) having them filled at human pharmacies where they may (or may not) be cheaper. But that's not the only option.

Get pet insurance. Jim Angleton, president of AEGIS FinServe Corp., had several emergency vet situations with his animals over the years. While it's not a product his company sells, Angleton took the time to respond personally in the hopes his own personal experiences could help other pet owners. According to him, pet insurance "is a must and worth every penny." He says his premiums are only $59 a month with a deductible of $500 and that his meds cost much less.

Get specialized credit. Another secret several respondents (including vets) noted was CareCredit. And it's not just for your pets but for you, too. It's built-in financing for medical needs (even your pet's). Lisa Martin, who you might remember from an example above, says her boyfriend had CareCredit and it saved him (and his dog). She's not the only one who recommended it, but she spoke so highly, she had to close with, "And no, I do not represent the company! I am just a huge fan."

Rape culture is still alive at the Department of Veterans' Affairs

(Image:cheap evening dresses uk)

Survivors of rape should not have to hear rape jokes at medical facilities that treat rape survivors. But they do. What is the Department of Veterans’ Affairs doing to combat its rape culture?

I like to think of myself as a strong, courageous and resilient woman. After a very brutal rape in 2006 while serving in the United States Coast Guard, I founded the Military Rape Crisis Center. With my wonderful team, we advocated and helped thousands of military rape survivors. We lobbied for better protection for military rape survivors. I have traveled around the globe speaking about rape and worked to eliminate the rape epidemic. I shared my story with dozens of reporters throughout the years — including those from CNN, The New York Times and even Glamour magazine. With all that said, I am still a human being suffering with my own health concerns related to my rape. Just because my job is in anti-sexual violence advocacy does not mean that I can no longer have absolutely normal triggers and reactions related to my trauma. I do. And that is perfectly OK.

Earlier this month, I was at the Jade Opal clinic at the troubled Phoenix VA waiting for my appointment. If you are not familiar with the Jade Opal clinic, it is basically one large waiting room in the main VA hospital where the line often runs out the door. Once inside, veterans sit like sardines waiting for their appointments. As it often happens, veterans talk to other veterans to help pass the time. I got into an innocent conversation about cell phones when a patient made a comment relating his cell phone bill to "being raped." I put on my advocate hat and tried to explain to him why rape should not be used as an ordinary verb. In return, he aggressively called me names, resorted to mocking me and made jokes about rape. At some point my advocate hat fell off. I was triggered. I spent my entire appointment in tears barely able to answer even my doctor's basic questions.

Rape jokes are never OK. When you tell or laugh at a joke about rape, you are normalizing, glorifying and desensitizing the crime. Rape jokes tell a survivor that their nightmares, agony, depression, anxiety, insomnia and flashbacks are not legitimate. How can one have a nightmare about something that has been deemed a joke? For survivors of rape, hearing rape jokes tells them that they need to "get over it" and that their emotions and traumas are a laughing matter. As a result, survivors feel ashamed for what happened to them. It's no surprise that rape is the most underreported crime in our society. There is nothing inherently or biologically shameful about being a survivor of rape. The shame a survivor feels comes from society's views about rape, in which rape jokes play a contributing factor.

I worked with the Phoenix VA in the past on a professional level. I found them to be very professional toward me when I advocated for others. As soon as I felt safe, I dusted off my advocate hat and decided to do for myself what I have done every day for the past nine years. I picked up the phone, dialed the VA and advocated for a veteran — except this time the veteran was me. A rape survivor should not have to hear a rape joke while waiting for medical treatment for rape.

I recognize my dual relationship with the VA and did not want to overstep any professional or work boundaries, so I went the route that a "regular patient" would take, instead of calling those that I built a professional working relationship with over the years.

My first and obvious choice was to call the Patient Advocate. I left a voicemail. After not hearing back for a couple of days, I called back and asked to speak to the Director of the Patient Advocates. I left a voicemail. I told the operator (the only human that I was able to speak to the first week) my concerns and we tried numerous departments, all of which I had to leave voicemails for.

Almost a week later, the Patient Advocate returned my phone call. Instead of support and validation, she told me that she felt that I was overreacting and that there was nothing that can be done. The Patient Advocate then turned to Twitter to publicly post that what I reported "did not happen." Public Affairs automatically dismissed my claim, yet without skipping a beat swore they take all such allegations very seriously — WTF!? Institutional dismissal of anything associated with rape — including inappropriate comments or jokes about sexual violence is rape culture.

I do admit that I have a problem keeping off my advocate hat, especially when I start noticing a pattern of bad behavior that needs to be corrected. In the biggest WTF moment of the week, a woman named Dana (or was it Donna? She acted very sketchy when I asked for her name) from the Phoenix VA Director's office literally barked down at me after I told her why I called. Because I told her my concerns first and therefore she couldn't see me as anything other than a patient, she proceeded to tell me that I "could not possibly be the Executive Director of the Military Rape Crisis Center" and that she would report me for misrepresentation. She hung up on me before I could get another word in.

I advocate for veterans for a living and have not once been treated with such disrespect. When I leave a voicemail representing a client, my phone calls are returned almost immediately — or at least by the end of the business day. Most often my phone calls or my accompanying clients at meetings at their VA result in a quick resolution. Every single time my clients ask — How did you do that? When I tried they gave me a hard time.

I already proved that I can successfully advocate for veterans, so why is the Phoenix VA making it close to impossible for me to advocate when the veteran is me?

When I visit the VA as a professional, I am treated with the utmost respect. When I come in as a patient, I am ignored and treated like a criminal. This is not OK. I should be treated the same regardless if I come in saying "I am Panayiota Bertzikis, Executive Director of the Military Rape Crisis Center, I am here for a meeting" or "I am Panayiota Bertzikis, I have an appointment at the Jade Opal clinic today."

Veterans shouldn't need me (or someone like me) to get results. The VA should do the right thing not only when a third party witness is involved, but always, even if the veteran is advocating alone. In the military's "just suck it up" culture, it takes tremendous courage for a veteran to pick up the phone or walk into a patient advocate office and say "This happened to me. It is not OK. Let's fix it." It is even more courageous for survivors of military sexual trauma to report anything because of the blatantly common "blame the victim" response that so many of us faced when reporting a sex crime. It does not benefit a single soul to make veterans jump through all these hoops.

It is ridiculous to make veterans wait a week to have their phone calls returned, when the VA already showed me when I advocated for others that they are capable of returning calls in a timely manner. Veterans should be able to pick up the phone and speak to a Patient Advocate and be treated with respect and dignity. They should have their issues resolved in a timely manner. It's uncalled for when veterans have their concerns dismissed and trauma compounded by the insensitive response from untrained and uninformed VA staff.

The Patient Advocate should be their advocate. Most importantly, veterans should not need an advocate to help deal with the Patient Advocate!

My case is still unresolved. My assistant half-jokingly suggested that she should join me at the VA to help advocate for me. I think I'll give it a few days for this issue to be resolved before I decide on what the next step should be.

In the meantime, I started this petition to tell the Phoenix VA that rape survivors should not have to hear rape jokes while waiting for treatment for rape.

The fresh essence of Spring/Summer

(Image:short prom dresses uk)

From everyday styles to glamorous cocktail dresses, designers offered their latest prêt-à-porter from their Spring/Summer 2015 collection at Plaza Indonesia Fashion Week.

Young designer Yosep Sinudarsono took center stage of the fifth edition of the fashion week, which ran from March 23-27, as he showcased 40 designs from his ready-to-wear line, Lotuz.

Yosep said his Spring/Summer collection was inspired by the Roman goddess Pomona, who represented a modern revelation of a love story. “This collection is about love, extracting the mood, details and colors of Pomona’s story into the clothes,” he says.

This season, Yosep continues to highlight his constructed silhouettes with peplums and sculpted waist dresses.

A romantic mood swept the runway when he showcased a lot of two-tone dresses, with pink, light purple and silver as the main colors.

Handmade floral embroideries were seen on the chest, back and hips, enhancing the feminine touch in the dresses.

Moving on to the next sequence, Yosep changed the color palette to black and blue as he showed his creativity in combining several materials in one dress.

For example, in a royal blue satin jumpsuit with a peplum top, he outlined it with velvet to highlight a woman’s frame.

In addition, he also mixed luxurious satin and silk with casual wear linen and cotton.

“Ready-to-wear is often associated with the use of cotton and I want to keep that style by combining it with other materials for fresh designs,” said Yosep, who has dressed international celebrities, such as Grammy winning singer Estelle and TV personality Terri Seymour.

A tank-fit and flare dress with black velvet on the bottom edge, and a cut-out body fit dress with lines that toned up the body shape, were also highlights in this sequence.

In the last part, Yosep offered all-black designs.

To avoid the dresses looking dull, he applied some flashy little details on the right side of dresses and at the waist of the jumpsuits, and formed crystal beads into a belt on a plunge neckline dress.

“I dedicate this collection to working urban women who have high mobility. Some of the Spring/Summer designs can be worn for work and afterward,” he said.

Joining Yosep on the runway was , who also presented its latest collection, entitled “Midnight Bloom”, showcasing a series of gowns where a paintbrush had been used to design the batik.

“The collection is about beauty, confidence and elegance, showing unusual batik designs by combining traditional, firm, batik lines in blossoming floral patterns that represent the arrival of spring,” said creative director Anita Asmaya Sanin.

Midnight Bloom was dominated by dusk and color palettes with some shades of white to lift up the whole tone of the clothes.

A-line dresses, loose blouses and jumpsuits were presented, along with several cropped jackets and capes.

In addition, also offered some Palazzo trousers that were really popular in the 1960s and 1970s.

The dresses were made from woven cloth and silk as well as sheer fabric mixed with sequin and lace.

“Through this collection we want to highlight the use of burnout silk to make batik our signature,” Anita said.

Meanwhile, Bateeq presented more day-to-day styles for its “Tumaruntum” collection.

Inspired by Truntum batik from Central Java, which features a small flower motif, Bateeq showcased a light and colorful collection.

In some designs, the flowers were magnified and were the central focus, while in others, small flowers brightened up the plain dresses.

3 Heartbreaking reasons people gave for giving up a pet

(Image:prom dresses uk 2015)

People give up their pets for all sorts of reasons. Some of them are more selfish than others.

Animal lovers are quick to cluck their tongues at people who give up their family pets, but all too often life circumstances change and keeping a pet becomes impossible, which is why more than 7.6 million pets end up in shelters every year in the United States.

Here are just a few heartbreaking reasons people are forced to give up their beloved pets every day.

1. A new baby A new baby creates all sorts of chaos, and the family pet is a common casualty. Some animals can become aggressive with children, which is dangerous and another matter altogether.

But sometimes a new baby makes caring for a family pet overwhelming. Take Claire Zulkey, who wrote a full confession about how caring for her once beloved Greyhound became a major hassle after having a baby. It’s common for couples to treat pets as if they were children but find that once they have actual children, there isn’t the time to sleep and groom, much less walk and care for a pet.

One mother, Jenny, has a 2-year-old and is expecting her second baby any day and experiencing the same anxiety about caring for her dog Finzi, which is acting out. Although she’s not yet ready to give him up, she’s fed up with harnesses and dealing with his increasing anxious behavior. Recently, Finzi attacked a neighbor dog, which has left her contemplating how long she’ll be able to keep him.

“If there’s another instance like the other week, he’s gonna cross the rainbow bridge,” she said at her wits end and nine months pregnant.

Does being aggressive with other dogs warrant a death sentence or a trip to the shelter? Would it be fair to give Finzi to another family who would likely find themselves dealing with the same aggressive behavior toward other dogs?

2. Having to move One bride was devastated weeks before her wedding when she was faced with giving up her dog because her financé’s landlord didn’t allow pets.

"I feel like I’m giving my child up for adoption," one woman posted on the Wedding Bee message board. "It’s 5 weeks until the wedding, and I’m going to have to take him back to his breeders 2 weeks before my wedding."

After reading about the bride-to-be’s sad decision, so many people, as they do on the internet, commented how terrible and selfish she was to give up her dog.

"Don't give him up!," one commenter wrote. "You never know where he will end up: (that's so awful…) There has to be an appt for rent that allows your dog. Please look harder."

But is that fair? The ASPCA suggests that when you’re looking for pet-friendly housing, you should make up a "pet resume," complete with a photo and a brief description about the pet to try and make landlords feel more comfortable with your pet. But is that a realistic expectation?

3. Military deployment When Holly, a specialist in the Army National Guard, was deployed, she was terrified about what would happen to her beloved dog Jasper. She and so many of our service men and women have to cope with the reality that leaving for war also means leaving their pets. Luckily, there are volunteer organizations like Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pet, which has a nationwide network of foster families ready to take in pets of deployed military families for up to a year.

"Jasper was with an amazing foster family," Holly wrote in her thanks to the organization. "His foster mom not only treated him like her own, but she gave me the peace of mind so I could focus on the task at hand."

Holly says Jasper’s foster mom also made a Facebook page so Holly could check up on how he was doing while she was away.

There are many organizations in place to help military families find foster placements for their pets, and yet it's simpler for many to just either take their pets into shelters or just set them free, which will almost certainly kill the dog eventually.

One Australian soldier gave up his dog Prinny for adoption after being deployed to Iraq. Prinny was eventually adopted by a loving family who even wrote an open letter to the soldier to let him know his dog was safe with the Rescued With Love organization.

"I don’t know where you are, or how to find you to tell you Prinny is safe," Kae Norman from Rescued With Love wrote. "Maybe this will find you. All I know is my throat ached when I read your writing on that form when you handed her over — and I could not try to let you know she is safe, and very happy. Stay safe soldier."

No matter the reason people choose to give up their pets, one thing is certain, it always invites judgment. So what do you think?

5-Year-old girl creates makeup tutorial videos, internet goes nuts

(Image:short prom dresses uk 2015)

A 5-year-old from Colombia has caused a controversy because she has made a couple of makeup tutorial videos, and people just cannot deal with it.

Little Danna Gomez loves makeup and makeup videos, and the Daily Mail reports that her aunt filmed her giving little tutorials of her own. While many think the videos are adorable, others are not so charmed. They speak about how kids should be kids, makeup videos are too adult and that this only serves to further sexualize children.

While I do agree that "kids these days" do seem to grow up faster than ever, I do not really see the problem with these videos. Little kids love to pretend to be adults. It's part of growing up. Little kids love to pretend to play house, they love to "work" on cars, they pretend to breastfeed their baby dolls, they play school... And for many little ones, they love makeup.

Whether an adult allows a child to play with makeup is a huge question, of course, with some not allowing their kids to wear it until they are around 13 years old (or even older). However, I remember playing with makeup when I was a kid — my brother was my makeup "artist" and applied eyeshadow not only on my upper lids but below my eyes as well, and despite looking like a clown, I was in heaven. And I'll never forget being a teen and getting so mad at my little cousin who had sneaked into my room and wrecked her face with my stash (sorry, Lindsay, for yelling at you!). Messing with makeup is part of growing up for many kids.

So why is wearing makeup too adult and too grown up for a 5-year-old? If you would video your child pretending to be pregnant and out pops a baby from under her shirt, why is this so much worse? Does wearing makeup cross some line that cannot be uncrossed?

I'm simply not seeing the huge deal with this controversy. I agree that kids should be kids, but that includes pretend play and having fun while doing it. And while some have concern that she is using "adult" language, it's likely she herself watches makeup tutorial videos or discusses makeup techniques with her mother or her aunt. I think people would be better off worrying about their own families, real crime and social injustice — and being less concerned with this little girl playing with makeup.

X Factor judges get axed for horrific bullying of contestant

(Image:cheap prom dresses 2015)

New Zealand X Factor judges Willy Moon and Natalia Kills have been fired for their appalling comments about one contestant, Joe Irvine — and you'll be completely shocked when you hear what they said.

On Monday night after Irvine sang, the husband-and-wife judging team unleashed a tirade on him, attacking everything from his looks to his suit. And if you think that Simon Cowell is mean, then you clearly never had an encounter with Kills.

"Ladies and gentleman, I'm just going to state the obvious: We have a doppelgänger in our midst," she began. "As an artist who respects creative integrity and intellectual property, I am disgusted with how much you have copied my husband."

"From the hair, to the suit, do you not have any value or respect for originality? You're a laughingstock, it's cheesy, it's disgusting, I personally found it absolutely artistically atrocious," she added.

What's truly disgusting here is Kills' comments because she completely attacked Irvine, with many of her remarks having absolutely nothing to do with his performance but rather his appearance. She was furious that he allegedly copied her husband's style, which is nothing but a suit and slicked back hair, a look that many, many men have. Just saying.

But she wasn't done there. Kills continued her angry rant, saying she was "embarrassed to be sitting here in your presence, having to even dignify you with an answer of my opinion."

Moon then weighed in, telling the contestant he looked like "Norman Bates dressing up in his mother's clothing, it's just a little bit creepy — I feel like you're going to stitch someone's skin to your face and then kill everybody in the audience."

Speaking of the decision to fire the pair, Mediaworks chief executive Mark Weldon said, "Last night on X Factor both Kills and Moon made comments that were completely unacceptable. While the judges on X Factor are expected to provide critiques of the performances, we will not tolerate such destructive tirades from any of the judges."

"Contestants put their all into this competition and they should expect to receive feedback and criticism that is professional and constructive. We no longer have confidence that Kills and Moon are the right people to perform the role of X Factor judges and they will leave the show, effective immediately."

Willow Smith Allows for Fashion, But Only If the Fashion Allows for Mountain Climbing

(Image:mermaid prom dresses uk)

Misfit hero, songwriter, and junior philosopher Willow Smith seems to defy categories. But when asked to describe her aesthetic style, she had a specific category all lined up and ready to go: "High-fashion nomad." In an interview with Billboard, she explains:

High-fashion nomad. I could literally climb a mountain and survive a couple nights in nature. That's a requirement for my clothes because one day I was on the freeway and I saw a mountain, so I literally just pulled over and climbed it. If you're an artist, the way you dress also gives people a vibe of how your music is and your personality.

In sum, requirements of clothing include: suitable for mountaineering, helpful for overnight survival, and able to communicate artistic-vibes reports. Layers implied.

Ridiculously rich cats that will make your bank account jealous

(Image:lace prom dresses 2015 uk)

While you were working today, these well-heeled cats were living a life of luxury most of us can only fantasize about.

While it’s true that most of the cats on this list inherited their wealth from a handful of cuckoo benefactors, one cat on this list is a self-made millionaire. Yes, as if being a cat lounging around, napping and knocking stuff off counters wasn’t a great enough gig, these kitties have upped the ante big time.

Tinker is a tomcat that was a stray until he was found and loved by an old lady, Margaret Layne, who left Tinker with a home in North London and a trust fund when she died. Layne designated her neighbors Ann and Eugene Wheatley as Tinker’s caretakers and trustees. They drop off regular deliveries of fish, meat and milk to keep the kitty satisfied.

But there’s a catch. Tinker loses the $800,000 house should he wander off. Sounds like this stray better stay put for good.

Tommaso ($13 million) Tommaso looks like an everyday black, stray cat, but don’t let his looks fool you — this is one rich cat. Tommaso was taken in by Maria Assunta in Milan, Italy, and upon her death in late 2011, she left her $13 million estate to the cat. Unfortunately, Italian law doesn’t allow the cat to hold wealth and property, so the estate — and the cat — were handed over to a nurse who had taken care of Assunta.

Blackie ($25 million) Blackie was lucky enough to befriend Ben Rea, who left the cat a $25 million fortune when he died. Featured in the Guiness Book of World Records as the world’s richest cat, no one seems to know where Blackie is today. Probably in a bungalow on a private island with the world’s largest pile of cat nip. I hope you're having a blast wherever you are, Blackie.

Tardar Sauce, a.k.a. Grumpy Cat ($100 million) After a picture of Tardar Sauce was posted on Reddit, the feline in a perpetual foul mood, now billed as "Grumpy Cat," became an overnight sensation. The cat, from humble beginnings in Morrison, Arizona, has gone on to become a big star — and big earner.

Grumpy Cat’s owner, Tabatha Bundesen, was once working as a waitress and is now in control of what is rumored to be Grumpy Cat’s $100 million fortune. While Tabatha says that number is way off the mark, Grumpy Cat is reported to have earned more in the past couple of years than Hollywood heavyweights Nicole Kidman and Cameron Diaz when you add up the book deals, TV appearances and the deal to be Friskies spokescat.

Gap's new CEO sees women's wear as path to brand comeback

namesake brand is in a deep funk again. And the company’s CEO says that a much more inspired women’s wear collection is key to restoring the chain’s health.

Gap’s comparable sales fell 5% last year, compared to a flat performance at sister chain Banana Republic and a 5% jump at value chain Old Navy. Gap has been facing stiff competition from fast fashion stores like H&M and Uniqlo, and basic clothing has become more of a commodity. Add to that mediocre fashion designs and you have an iconic but faltering brand.

In an effort to find its footing again, Gap recently eliminated the role of creative director that had been held by star design consultant Rebekka Bay, whom it had hired just over 2 years earlier after she successfully launched H&M’s upscale Cos brand. Gap also hired a new brand president. Gap Inc CEO Art Peck, who headed the brand a few years ago himself, said on Thursday that fixing Gap brand was his “No. 1 priority.” And that means focusing on improving its women’s wear in particular.

“It starts with righting the women’s business. There’s an esthetic issue, which we’re working on today with urgency,” Peck said, speaking on his first earnings call as CEO this week. Peck replaced longtime CEO Glenn Murphy earlier this month. “We need to have the women’s business hitting on all cylinders in order for the business the performances that we expect.”

Gap also announced on Thursday it had hired former L Brands  LB 2.36%  executive Wendi Goldman to the newly created role of executive vice president for Gap product design and development. Peck acknowledged she has her work cut out for her.

While women’s denim is showing a bit of improvement, Peck said that Gap is missing the mark fashion wise on tops, particularly wovens and knits, with poor fits and an unappealing esthetic. “She’s just not responding to the product there right now at all,” Peck said, referring to Gap’s female consumers disinterest in the current merchandise.

The problem for Gap is that it has already bought for the spring and summer seasons, so it warned its profit for the brand-new fiscal year will be hit by a “slower turnaround at Gap brand.”

Gap was also the author of its own problems in other ways. Gap was slower than its sister brands to speed up its supply chain, handcuffing it when it comes to responding to fashion hits or misses and reacting to what H&M and Uniqlo do. So Peck is making it a priority to shorten the product calendar at Gap, and is making other changes so it can quickly ramp up production of things are proving to be popular items.

Peck, who was president of Gap North America and its 700 stores from February 2011 to November 2012, pointed to his own experience to prove the Gap brand can strike again. Gap had struggled for a few years, closed 200 stores, but then had a massive home run in 2013 with bright colored jeans and “on-trend” products. Indeed, Peck promised more color and print and patterns later this year.

Gap Inc cannot afford to have its $6.2 billion-a-year namesake brand falter for very long. It generates 38% of the parent company’s sales, and the brand is expanding overseas. Its mens, babies, and Fit lines are doing well. But the biggest category in the Gap brand – women- is not. And that has to change.
