PLEASE GO HERE TO VOTE FOR HER DESIGN ‘WINGS OR CHAINS?’ CLICK “I’D WEAR THIS!” AND PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! :’)
Hey guys! It would be great if you could spare a moment to take a look at “Wings or Chains?“ which is in the running for the Original Quotes Challenge at deviantART. It’s a meaningful message, and the artist behind it is the mother of one of the people I am most thankful to have met through the great big crazy internet. <3
Read a bit more about this beautiful mother-daughter duo in RosaLui’s post here. So touching and full of love. One of my favorite parts:
She’s the lady who will pull over by the side of the road to help a stranded animal, every single damn time. She is the mom who won’t tell you to come in from the rain, but dress you up in a black velvet cape and a witch’s hat and help you run around in it instead.
So yeah, if you could take a moment to vote for this awesome mom, or even just check out her work, please do. :)
Coincidentally — Happy Mother’s Day! :D

The above quote much sums up my previous post about Fake Your Face Video Project (click the link for info and how to contribute) by Emily and Imaan.
Truth be told, there was a time I was impressionable enough to be dictated upon by the media. I used to be really conscious about every little thing that was “wrong” with my face. At times I would wish they could get fixed with magic (for sharp objects make me uncomfortable). Being traumatized by celebrity cosmetic surgery disasters helped shove that idea out of my head.
That aside, just getting over myself and shifting focus to other people and talking to them also broke the mold of my ideas about beauty.
People whose looks so many others look up to and consider “perfect” — I found out that even they can be incredibly insecure and unhappy with their appearance. Maybe it’s just something we all go through. I’ve even learned that sometimes the feature I think is most attractive on a person, is the very thing that they don’t like about themselves. So if you’re feeling ugly, doesn’t necessarily mean that other people see you as such. They could even be thinking the opposite.
There are a couple of people I consider some of the most beautiful individuals I’ve ever seen. They’re not supermodels or anything like that. And what I love about them are their quirks: his eyebags and dark circles that emphasize his soulful eyes, the way her lips look when the lipstick has been partially smudged off, his upturned nostrils, her goofy smile and uneven teeth, his unruly and expressive eyebrows, the way her legs look like her kicks would make guys cry, the way he talks through only one side of his mouth.
Some of you are probably laughing at me, but those are honestly the traits I find impossibly attractive and endearing on those people. It might sound weird but that kinda made me feel that maybe someone would also appreciate my peculiar features the same way. That was enough for a little boost of confidence, and reassurance that I’m fine just the way I am.

RosaLui: Fake Your Face: Make-Up, Societal Pressure, Photoshop and Women's Self-Esteem: A PSA Video Project
”By the time a girl is 17, she has seen more than 250,000 messages about what she is supposed to look like.” [Source]
We grow up surrounded by photographs of women with every flaw carefully photoshopped out - and then are told that we can be as thin as they are, as beautiful as…
Take part of this video project that aims to tell people: It’s okay to look the way you do. You are beautiful.
They’re looking for volunteers. You can take a video of your makeup process, share a video of yourself voicing out what you think, take a picture of yourself holding up a message, share information — there’s a lot of ways you can help.
There’s a whole lot more information in the full post. I hope you could take the time to read and contribute, or simply spread the word about this project.
If you believe in this, especially if you would have needed to hear something like this when you were younger — use your voice and make it count. <3

I want to take a moment to share the work of upcoming fashion designer (and cosplay enthusiast) Catherine Jannelle and her ruggedly beautiful February 2012 collection. She had taken inspiration from the novels of A Song of Ice and Fire and came up with these original creations. I can’t help but admire the contrasting textures and influence of fantasy elements in her pieces.
