When wearing red lips, you normally want to keep eye makeup subdued. One exception to this rule is the flapper look: deep red lipstick and a mysterious smoky eye make a striking combination and are the very definition of glamour!

Before MySpace and Facebook, LiveJournal was the first to invent a convenient, fun network for keeping in touch with your friends. We would document our life’s events and comment on each other’s entries daily. Kids used LJ to meet new people, express themselves creatively, even market their small businesses. But in 2006, something happened. LiveJournal became dead, and posting in it was like screaming in a desert - no one will hear or care.
My sister wrote an article about her personal experience on LiveJournal - why she started it, how it came to an end, and what the future holds. I just had to share.
P.S. Incidentally, this is my last post in this journal. If you'd like to continue following my escapades, I post regularly on Doe Deere Blogazine.

Any fans of the graffiti artist Fafi in here? Yes??? This one's for you! :)
Every girl wants to be a Fafinette, at least once in a lifetime - the heart-cheeked, stripe-clad heroine of Fafi's drawings. I got to play dress-up and transform myself into the character with the help of a wig, some jewelry and, of course, bright makeup!

Last week I received not one, but two emails on the same subject: getting criticized for the way you dress.
I don't wear bright, crazy makeup to work, or church, just when I'm going to hang out with my friends. I try hard to ignore it, thinking that when she was my age, bright makeup and multiple piercings were usually considered... hooker-ish, that she doesn't want me attracting any unwanted attention, etc., but it's hard. I want her to approve of my self-expression, but she refuses to. What do I do?
The Dark Butterfly
I love the skirts and the rest of my clothes, but I also want my boyfriend to be able to like what I'm wearing as well because he has to stand next to me after all. His opinion is important to me, but how can I enjoy myself without worrying what he is going to say and or think?

My boyfriend and I have a bunch in common, but wardrobe-wise, what we like is completely different. He prefers a simple shirt and jeans look, which works great for him, while I like playing around with vibrant eye shadows, colored hair, and fun clothes. One day, I had on a vintage black skirt and was shattered to find out that even though I thought it looked great on me, he absolutely hated it. Though, he hadn't meant any harm by the comments he made, I was hurt by what he had said. Now I find myself always wearing the shirt and jeans look and stay with neutral make up to be safe. Not necessarily to keep him happy, but mostly because my self esteem took such a hit from his words. I love unconventional and vibrant looks, but now I am too shy to wear them around my boyfriend and people who are put off by different styles.I love the skirts and the rest of my clothes, but I also want my boyfriend to be able to like what I'm wearing as well because he has to stand next to me after all.

The theme of our 3rd Must-Be... contest is - you guessed it - hearts ♥! With Valentine's Day approaching, could there be anything more appropriate? The winner gets this flirty Love-O-Meter necklace from ShanaLogic (keep 'em guessing!).

I wore this makeup on the last night of my Vegas trip, to Criss Angel Believe. I wanted something circus-y and magical!

I wanted to know this: How tall are you? I ask this because I'm super short! 5ft-5'1" - somewhere in between there. And though I love fashion and dressing up and all that, models are supposed to be tall! It's hard for me to think that anyone could ever take me seriously if I always dressed up fashionably as a Contessa, because I'm just a little... midget person. Granted, Japanese girls are all very short and stylish, but I live in America, not Japan, and all my friends are at least a head taller than me. I don't exactly want to pursue a career in fashion; I love making comics and geology/volcanoes, but I do like to be dressed well. If you've done just fine for yourself in fashion and you're as short as I am, maybe I have hope after all?

In this guide, I am not going to teach you about the Little Black Dress. I won't advise you how to be safe, won't tell you to stock up on classics & basics of the wardrobe. You won't hear me talking about discovering your personal style - style is not a chemical element that can be simply 'discovered'. True, eternal style is a complex concoction of ideas, simmered on low fire and perfected over time. It is a result of an agile mind.
What I offer below is tips how to set your inner fashionista free and develop an unparalleled style people will remember long after you're gone.
