Fashion Models & Advertising Taboos
April 9, 2008 by Imadge Mekker
Catching Jaime Lee Curtis on the much-discussed Dannon Activia commercial wherein she talks about digestive health reminded me of Laetitia Casta’s former manager who found some of the modeling taboos so silly, he could not even comprehend who came up with it in the first p...Read More

Meeting Imadge

Meeting Imadge
April 8, 2008 by Milan Westin
I liked Imadge the moment I saw her. She had a no-nonsense air about her, as if she was used to ordering people around, though I figured that she must be no more than 18. And, my mother liked her, too. So, it was decided that I can move in as soon as possible and since I...Read More

Dallas Blonde
April 7, 2008 by Imadge Mekker
The 331 miles separating Dallas and Midland translated into a 5-hour drive of male bonding between Charles and I though we had to scream once in a while to be heard over the thunderstorm and pouring rain. Springtime in Texas usually mean those two, plus the real threat o...Read More

Since I moved here last February, I’ve crossed the Brooklyn Bridge at least 1,000 times and I still marvel at this engineering feat that is truly ahead of its time. And to think that next month, it will be 125 years old, my three months as one of its commuters seem like a ...Read More

It’s always great visiting Grandma; she always make me feel I belong. With Charles here, it made the visit more enjoyable. But, there was something in the air that I could not place; a feeling that a storm was coming and when it comes, we would not be able to stop the havo...Read More

Lunch with my Father

Thank goodness, I always bring my Blackberry. I could at least keep up with all my RSS feeds while waiting for Papa. He had not changed at all. My father always wants a dramatic entrance. So… let me see what FashionWindows is saying today. ‘Cell Phone Cases As Importa...Read More

Wind Beneath My Wings

Wind Beneath My Wings
April 2, 2008 by Milan Westin
This new Barbie doll accessory, an eco-friendly bag made from repurposed excess fabric and trimmings from other Barbie doll fashion and products is actually pretty. But, this is not for me. Why does Mom still insist on buying me these things when I have outgrown it a lon...Read More

Homecoming
April 1, 2008 by Napster
It’s nice to be back here in West Texas. If there were a place I could call as my hometown, it would be Midland, having spent my childhood here. I lived here until I was 12; my parents having left me here to live with my grandmother when I was 5, seeing them only during Ch...Read More
