Blonde keyboard

Everyone knows a few blonde jokes even though there is no scientific proof of blondes lacking in intellectual ability, the media however spins a different story with movies like legally blonde & countless spoof movies like scary movie. One company seems to have taken it further with a rather quirky concept which they call “the blonde keyboard” - it’s a simple idea really, the bubblegum pink keys have little helpful descriptions. The number keys have little domino markings, backspace is now “opps!”, caps is cleverly marked as “WARNING size xxl letters”. the first time I saw it I thought it was ridiculous but after seeing it close-up I have to say its kind of grown on me & I can definitely see the humorous side of it, be warned though if you are not immune to the power of pink then you might be required to wear shades when operating this quirky piece of machinery.

Chanel spring makeup

Chanel just announced their make-up collection for spring 2009 & at first glance its obvious they have gone back to boho. The last month has been freezing & January too is set to be equally as cold but its clear Chanel have been looking forward into the warmer days we hopefully have coming. The collection is inspired by Coco Chanels undying love for fashionable bohemian styles & looks. Reds are prominent in the collection with gorgeous deep eye shadows, soft nude lips, both nail polishes “vendetta” & “django” go perfect with any spring outfit. My favourite thing about the collection so far is the limited edition satin lip colour compact that comes in 5 satin shades all in crème from yummy deep plum to a soft pale pink, it all comes in a gorgeous double-c shaped Chanel trademarked container.

crazy woman paints her car

If you were given 250 bottles of nail polish what would you do with them? Well one woman found the answer by painting her car entirely in nail polish. One day Jill Bell from Maryland in the USA noticed a bump on her car so she took some nail polish & painted over the bump in the shape of a band-aid. She liked the results so much that she then decided she wanted to paint her car entirely in nail polish! So after going through over 250 bottles of polish she was finally finished. She managed to get the bottles of nail polish with the help of people in her local church & her local clubs, the car she painted was a 1993 Saturn & apparently the whole job took 13 months..its just a pity the end result looks so nasty hence me not posting a pic of the actual car.
