My old drawings...

I found these drawings I did a while back during my move.
There of Disney Princesses with day of the dead make up on.
My daughters thought they were pretty cool.

Watch Kristen Stewart's Money Dilemma

A-listers such as Cate Blanchett, Daniel Craig, Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, Jude Law, Madonna, Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Naomi Watts, bring smaller, specialized projects to the Cinema Society. Likewise, films that draw excess attention, such as "The Twilight Saga," may use the privacy of a smaller Cinema Society gathering to screen a film with a select group in a setting that doesn't require Biblical-scale crowd control.

Piaget sponsored "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" on Monday, June 28, with the thought of connecting to an affluent youth audience. "Please keep details of the evening completely confidential beforehand," mentioned the Luxist invite. The secret location: The boutique Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo, which boasts a well-appointed but discreet screening room at basement level.

On the red carpet, Kristen Stewart wore RM by Roland Mouret, a short dress with swirls of large paillettes and spiky, 4-inch Louboutins. Her hair was newly colored brunette for her role in "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac. It was tied back loosely with braids to achieve a "ready for the gala but fell asleep" look. On the carpet, a tiny Stewart lost the Louboutins to chat with press.

During the screening, Luxist was seated next to Abigail Breslin and her mother. Other notables included Sofia Vergara of Modern Family, Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20, fashionista Rachel Zoe, and supermodels Dree Hemingway and Maggie Rizer.



That said, Luxist gives high marks to the food at the Crosby Street Hotel afterfete: beef sliders, chicken curry, crab cakes, squash, and goat cheese risotto. "Eclipse" fete food: Two thumbs way up.

Deal of the week...

Atlanta Braves Will Host 2011-2012 Civil Rights Game

As one of the most favorite sports in United States, baseball has many dedicated fans, some of them even have their own fan page, namely Dana Bashor for example. She has her own website, Dana Bashor Baseball Fan, to show her passion for MLB, especially for her favorite teams, the Angels and the Dodgers.

I personally not a U.S. citizen, and not too much following baseball news, but recently I show interest in Atlanta Braves. Skippered by Bobby Cox, the Braves set a nine game winning streak from May 26th to June 3rd, their longest since 2000 when they won 16 in a row. They led the National League East with 46 wins and 33 loses in regular season.

Now, Atlanta Braves just being announced that they're going to host 2011-2012 Civil Rights Game in their Turner Field Stadium. The Civil Rights Game is an annual MLB's game that started in 2007 to honors the history of civil rights in the U.S. and marked the unofficial end to the league's Spring Training.

Atlanta for 2011-2012 Civil Rights Game

The intent of this game was to "embrace baseball's history of African-American players," as well as to generate interest for future black players, after a demographics survey revealed that the percentage of black players in the league has dwindled over the past twelve years to just 8.4%!


After hosted by the Cincinnati Reds for the last two years, it's very easy to choose Atlanta, the home of slain civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr, to be the next host.

"Civil rights is really a part of each and every one of us, black or white, male or female, because we are a product of inclusion. The only way we will succeed is through that inclusion."
-- Jimmie Lee Solomon, MLB vice-president of baseball development.

Following the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr., I think baseball fans also need to get to know each other, no matter what its races, skin colors, ethnics, or religions.

Let's start with Dana Bashor, baseball fan that I mentioned earlier. To know her better, besides visiting her fan page, you can also check Dana Bashor music page to know what kind of song does she listen to.

She also has her own flickr page in Dana Bashor pics, where she upload the photographs of her favorite stuff, places and beautiful moments.

Britney Spears unveils first fashion line for school girls

Pop princess Britney Spears is joining the growing club of celebrities-turned-designers, launching her own fashion collection that targets the schoolgirl crowd.
Spears, 28, has designed her first collection of clothing and accessories for the Iconix Brand Group Inc's Candie's brand for which she has been the face for the past three seasons.


In an interview with InStyle.com, Spears explains how she came up with the ideas for the line. "First, I met with the Candie's designers and told them what my favorite styles are. Then, we sketched the items together," she explained. "I loved it when I saw the samples for the first time."
"I used a lot of studs and lace, because I wanted to make the clothes cool and edgy yet girly. I also love jeans, so I had to make sure there were some great pairs in the collection. And I love jewelry so there are a lot of fun pieces," she continued. "There are great necklaces and big earrings."


"Designing was a really fun, new way for me to express my creativity and I really wanted to create something by me for my fans," Spears said in a statement.
She said the collection, inspired by her favorite music and movies, as a mixture of day and evening looks, ranging from jeans to little black dresses.
