'Haute Pink' Is the New Black

As economic woes plague the country, fashionistas are turning to bright, cheery colors—most notably hot pink, the Wall Street Journal reports. Even in New York, those who once wore only black are buying fuchsia ties and designing magenta kitchens. With men who might balk at the traditionally feminine hue, one hotel exec who planned a hot-pink restaurant calls the shade “mangenta.”

“Our best sell-throughs are not coming from black. They’re coming from bold, vibrant colors and patterns,” said a Saks exec. And it’s not just couture: Pink is showing up everywhere, from sofas to iPhones. The trend is likely linked to the need for hope in a bleak time: “I don’t mean to sound obvious,” says a Harper’s Bazaar editor, “but there’s a whole optimism thing going on here.

Lil Wayne Pupil Drake Thrills in NYC

Child-actor-turned-rapper Drake had fans and luminaries like Kanye West enthralled at a small New York show Tuesday, where the as-yet-unsigned artist tried to live up to the buzz.

“Drake's greatest gift is his ability to translate his love of rap's many styles into his own music,” Chris Ryan writes of the Lil Wayne protégé in the Village Voice. “His stage presence had a degree of effortless charm and showmanship that suggested a real star quality at work.”
Drake “had the crowd singing along with him from the start,” observes Jayson Rodriguez for MTV. “You would think he had a catalog albums-deep by the way his songs were being chanted.”
He’s “an extremely adept student, pairing the whimsical, intricate rhymes of Lil Wayne with the melodic gifts and self-flagellation of Kanye West,” notes Jon Caramanica in the New York Times. But while “he dressed the part” last night, “he never fully eased into it.”

Kansas Girl Wins Spelling Bee With 'Laodicean'

Cool and collected, Kavya Shivashankar wrote out every word on her palm and always ended with a smile. The 13-year-old Kansas girl saved the biggest smile for last, when she rattled off the letters to "Laodicean" to become the nation's spelling champion. The budding neurosurgeon outlasted 11 finalists tonight to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 in cash and prizes and the huge champion's trophy.

After spelling the winning word, which means lukewarm or indifferent in religion or politics, Kavya got huge hugs from her father, mother, and little sister. Second place went to 12-year-old Tim Ruiter of Centreville, Va., the youngest finalist. He misspelled "maecenas," which means a cultural benefactor.

Not Forgiving, Stops the Flow

Boolumaster


To keep the blessings flowing, you have to forgive. Take a step back and analyze the situation that has you HOT, QUICKLY. Most of the time, the situation is petty and could have been squashed right at that moment, but most of us are stubborn and think it's our way or no way.

So many opportunities could be lost if you hold a grudge. If you can work through the situation do it, if not, let it go COMPLETELY. This situation should not take up any space in your mind. There's only room for positive, productive thoughts. Harboring negative ill feelings clouds your vision and clogs the ears from hearing the still small voice which is GOD directing you.

I'm trying to GET IT! GET whatever blessings that my FATHER has for me. Holding a grudge will stop my flow. That I'm not having!

Have A Wonderful Life!

GOD Bless Us ALL

Skinny Jeans: Health Hazard

Skinny jeans might be crushing nerves in the very thighs they’re supposed to flatter, MSNBC reports. Experts say they’ve seen a spat of young women suffering from meralgia paresthetica, or “tingling thigh syndrome,” caused by wearing ridiculously tight jeans. It occurs whenever constant pressure is applied to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, causing a tingling or burning sensation.

Typically, the condition afflicts obese people or construction workers. Sometimes, it’s seatbelts in an accident. But lately, the main culprit has been skinny jeans. Those wearing high heels are particularly susceptible. But don’t worry, fashion slaves; the damage isn’t usually permanent. “It doesn’t make me hesitate to wear my jeans,” said the editor of Fashionista.com, “the same way I don’t hesitate to wear the shoes I wear.”

Woman Won 'Male Rights' Fighting in Civil War

A veteran of 40 Civil War skirmishes and battles kept one secret under wraps: her breasts. Union Army soldier Albert Cashier was really Jennie Hodgers, one of hundreds of women who fought in the war. "The country needed men, and I wanted excitement," Hodgers said. She also benefited from 19th-century male-only rights like a paycheck, a ballot, and an independent life, NPR reports.

When the military uncovered Hodgers' deception, former comrades fought for her veteran's pension. Hodgers settled in sleepy Saunemin, Ill., where the remains of her house inspire pride in some residents and shame in others to this day. The town plans to rebuild the house and organize historical tours. "I wouldn't like to think that that's what puts us on the map," says one farmer, "but maybe it is."
