Britney Spears Before and After Photoshop

Britney Spears released her before and after photoshop pictures for her Candies ad campaign. Spears looks great before and after to me. Why even do the photoshopping just to make all the celebrities look so 100% unnaturally perfect?
think this is a good start for celebrities to come out without all the photoshopping, airbrushing, fake tanning, tons of make up, etc, etc. That way women know that celebrities are in fact very much like all of us, they do have flaws.

It’s hard growing up period. Now with the media being this transparent, it makes it so much harder to grow up as a young girl. You have to be ultra skinny; gorgeous is by the standard of what they see on TV. Fake nails, fake this and fake that and soft filtered everything else to make it all looks like a fairytale.

Right on Britney! And right on Jessica Simpson for posing without make up on the cover of Marie Claire. Now I think that’s a great start for celebrities to finally step up and play role models.

What do you think? More celebrities should come out revealing the natural side?
At last celebrities are taking a positive step towards changing the world for the better.

Work Wanted! This is a great initiative

Barcelona, Dec 4 (EFE) .- "Work Wanted. Do you know something? Tell me!" With this slogan printed on t-shirts, a young couple from Barcelona have begun a campaign at street finding employment and make visible to all those who are in their same situation.

The job project idea is simple: unemployed people who are not resigned and want to find work, and for they are socially visible because thank to these shirts they identify themselves like potential employers.

Christian Lefler, 26 years old, from Argentina, and Alexandru Trafandir, Romanian, 22 years old, are the promoters of this initiative of street action that advocates direct contact face to face "between the unemployed and recruiters," at a time when the people without work are almost invisible as the say the statistical numbers". Said.

These two entrepreneurs are giving away the shirts on the streets of Sant Cugat del Valles (Barcelona) and other nearby locations who are committed to carry and make active use of them.

In addition, they take the data for inclusion in their web www.trabajoproyect.net, which can include both tenders and requests.

They have delivered more than fifty of these clothes, paid for themselves, so they hope to have some institutional or corporate sponsor, that permit them to continue with the project which has had some success, because four of these people have been employed.

The Nobel Prize 2009

Take this opportunity to greet all my dear readers, and offer apologies for my absence during their meetings conducted in different places, but they told me that the issues were very good. Some of them was the selections made by the Norwegian Nobel Institute, who recognize the President of the United States, Barack Obama, with The Nobel Prize. The truth is that I could not be there, because I had one weeks of training, for inventory that made the company where I work, which lasted from Tuesday to Sunday. An inventory that had to count with the toes, but finally completed successfully. Outdated test!

My vision on this issues is like said the president of Spain, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and The Norwegian Nobel Committee "Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened".

This is the third time that United States had received the Nobel Prize, after that in 2002 was granted the ex-president Jimmy Carter, for his mediation efforts. In 2007, his compatriot, candidate to the president and ex-Vice President Al Gore received one for working the World peace.

"Act Like a Lady and Think Like a Man"

Last week I received a very special call, of someone who really appreciate and that we have tow years in this country (USA). She told me that would want to cook a special recipe that I do; that if I could go to her house for teaching to do it to her, which she love it too much. In the course of time I began to review her bookseller and between several them, found out a very especial. Its name is: "Act Like a Lady and Think Like a Man", of the great communicator and psychologist Steve Harvey; I liked the title And decided to tell to her that this book I’d take with me for reading and finishing this weekend.

Really, I love it and and laughed a lot, because Harvey introduction everything you need to know about men and relationships is right here -- The mind-set of a man. What drives men ; Our love isn't like your love ; The three things every man needs: support, loyalty, and the cookie ; "We need to talk", and other words that make men run for cover -- Why men do what they do. First things first: he wants to sleep with you ; Sports fish vs. keepers: how men distinguish between the marrying types and the playthings ; Mama's boys ; Why men cheat -- The playbook: how to win the game. Men respect standards-- get some ; The five questions every woman should ask before she gets in too deep ; The nine-day rule: getting the respect you deserve ; If he's meeting the kids after you decide he's "the One," it's too late ; Strong, independent-- and lonely-- women ; How to get the ring ; Quick answers to the questions you've always wanted to ask.
