Miss California Carrie Prejean Loses Her Crown

I learned from the news last night that Miss California Carrie Prejean lost her crown. It is barely a month when Donald Trump said that she can keep her Miss California crown despite a controversy over some racy photos surfacing on the Internet, missed appearances and her statements against same-sex marriage. Carrie Prejean became controversial after the Miss USA pageant, in which she was the first runner-up. Her answer to a question asked by a pageant judge, Perez Hilton, about gay marriage stirred up trouble and was continuously attacked by others who believe the other way. Carrie Prejean expressed her stand that gays and lesbians should not be given the right to marry in California.

According to reports, the reason for Prejean's firing is based on contract violations. Oh, oh! I wonder what happened to her. She probably got a little disturbed after being constantly attacked. I thought she already won the battle over those who wanted her dethroned as Miss California USA. Now she's really fired! The new Miss California USA is Tami Farrell (see picture below).

The new Miss California Tami Farrell became Miss Oregon Teen USA (2002), “Miss Congeniality” and Miss Teen USA (2003), Miss Malibu USA (2008) and the first runner-up Miss California USA (2009). Now, the title is hers. She attended the New York School for Film and Television and has made some guest appearances on the NBC soap opera Passions.

New Look, New You?

A drastic new look affects our mood. We sometimes change hairstyle depending on how we are feeling. It's like expressing our personality, our mood actually. That is why, most people use the euphemism "bad hair day" to mean a "bad mood day". We are socially perceived to project our mood with our look. So what do you think your hairstyle says about yourself?

2009 Britains Got Talent Finale Winner

Last Saturday was the final of the British reality television show, "Britain's Got Talent" 2009. I thought that internet singing sensation Susan Boyle will win the first place but she did not. Her journey ended with a second-place finish. A dance troupe called "Diversity" won the first place instead. I had not heard of "Diversity" before so I searched the internet to see their video performances. I knew about the 48-year-old Susan Boyle after watching the video of her "Britain's Got Talent" audition, she was in the news and all over the internet. Below is the video performance of dance troupe named "Diversity" on the finale. These guys are amazing too. I'm just wondering if Susan Boyle singing the same song, “I Dreamed A Dream” from “Les Miserables” affected the votes of the viewers.

New Look

I decided to change my blog template. I don't like changing template every so often because of all the adjustments and the widgets that I have to add again but I got tired looking at my old template, so I decided to give this blog a new look.

One positive thing about it is I like this new look. For now, it is pleasing to my eyes. The sad thing was, I lost my blog list. I have to find ways and do something to be able to link with all my friends and link love. I hope you guys will not feel bad if you didn't see your link in my list. Please let me know so I can update it and include your blog URL.

Hairstyles

Do you follow the latest hairstyle trends? I'm not good at styling my hair. I usually just let it all hang down. I do occasionally find awesome hairstyle within different hairstyle pictures, hopefully find pictures of women with similar face shapes and features and find a style that will look great on my face. Sometimes I get professional hair and styling tips for fine dress occasions or just for a new look to accentuate my best features and minimize my least favorite favorite.



How about you? how do you choose your hairstyle?

Happy Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Tomorrow is Memorial Day. The U.S observed this federal holiday on the last Monday of May. We pay tribute and remember those brave heroes, those who gave their lives in service for our country, our war dead, who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.

How do you celebrate Memorial Day? Where I am, there are parades and local gathering for commemoration. Family and friends gather together and have fun. Some go to visit the graves of family members who has served in the armed forces. Others go for a Picnic on Memorial Day. BarBeQuing is huge here, good food and family.
