permanent style的八卦，PINTEREST和Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

[Leisure talk]
Nothing in particular, just felt like sharing some of my thought… just take it as a mumbling session from me……
Being in ACG circle for almost 19 years, there’s by fits and starts (Yao did portrait shooting in the middle of time). I came back 6 years ago, start it all over again and giving full force into cosplay. All this while, I position cosplay as my hobby. However, hardly to take a hobby as a permanent job. FYI, it will no longer a pure hobby when it slowly went into a business pathway. It will slowly be depressing yourself, will started to force yourself to do some character that you don’t like, slowly forget who you’re, and you’ll started to doubt your life. “How if I’m no longer famous, can I still get a job now?” Started to fight with others, comparing among your friends, there’s also someone who starting to take advantages from someone to ensure self to be on top, bad mouth others and so on……
Yao met with similar kind of people before, and started to slowly keep distance with them. So, sometimes people come and ask me “Hey Yao, why don’t you work with who in particular…? Maybe, just maybe he or she is that kind of person that I’m don’t appreciate. Anyways, we are speaking different languages. I just want to happily stay in my cosplay life. I don’t want to waste time on someone who has a different mindset as mine. It will just spoil my mood.
By the way, Yao is someone who doesn’t like to stay in the same style forever. It will eventually reflect on out photos! No matter is cosplay or some style of photograph. I wish to try my best to try on different things. Maybe some people might say, we’re walking towards sexy-lusty pathway. Let me guess, the one who say so is someone that never be with us since the very beginning right? And never know us well too. Our portfolio involving many different kind of style. Since we have our own fans page, we’re still doing the same style as now. And there’s many different kinds of photography style and in between of sexy-lusty and artistic everyone has their own definition too. If you don’t like it you can choose to leave. Because of this matter occur the dropping of fans amount, ignoring our others signature portfolio… All I can said was you don’t know us; you don’t understand us at all.
My profession is from Art stream and current job relates to art too (we’re not professional cosplayer). Most of the time, I will view it in an artistic way. Therefore, it is hard to determine the differences between those two. There’s something called Art in Lust, which more towards western style; western culture. Where more open-minded and higher acceptance level from them. I stayed in portrait shooting quite some time, so I slowly adapted into the culture and try on different culture of shooting too. However, I think maybe this is what’s happening in Asia , most of them is in a conservative mindset. Where most of the cosplayer is in the younger generation too. Be frank, I’m not surprise on the number of peoples reporting our Facebook page. Because of this issue, we decided to place most of our sexier portfolio in e-magazine. Where you will need to meet certain requirement to view the photos. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the one who supporting us but can’t meet the requirement to view the photos.
Regarding on the attitude toward cosplay…
With the interest of creating a better creative idea,
I personally think that cosplayer and illustrator do work the same, other than originality there’s other possibility too. It is free to create, self-serving, full with imagination…
I love to take storyline-based photos which is more originally relates to the project. It actually can let us portrait the character though acting, act the characteristic of the chosen character, figure out a different emotional feeling… It felt so good! I believe this is the best part of cosplay, and I personally like this part the most too. But I like to take some self-serving portfolio too. I like to try some different direction like CP,BL, GL, Transgender, Funny, Playful and OOC too. I love having the freedom of creativity within my world. That allows me to have all kind of thinking and direction for the character.
In the meanwhile, let’s say im in a cosplay working condition I will be in a different emotional and attitude too. I’m someone who very strict (to my partner too!) when it comes to work. I will make sure that I’m fully into situation, into the character. I’ll make sure is the character who lead the way, bring in the character emotional and feeling, just like be possessed by the character. This is my working attitude during my cosplay working time.
Of course, this is my situation. Everyone has their own way and principle to portrait their character. We should respect each other’s.
My personal thought:
Cosplay is you’re happy to be in that character
Cosplay is the challenges on the character originality
Cosplay is you bring out something from the virtual world and your mind
Cosplay is something that you can input your creativity and thinking
Cosplay is found someone who has the same passionate as you do
Cosplay is respect other’s even different thought
Cosplay is can create new spark even with different type of thought or different type of presenting
Cosplay is love, where comes with friendship, hard work and memories
No matter you are professional cosplayer part-timer cosplayer, originality team, full with self-serving OOC team, ps, or illustrator…
As long as you felt happy, never force yourself to do something that you dislike, never bad mouth or bully anyone… why not?
Cosplay is something that’s make you feel happy. If you felt stressful, perhaps you can try to adjust your feeling toward cosplay and review the current situation? With this I believe will slowly found the satisfaction and happiness in it
Still the same advice from me – never forget the reason, have fun-
Thank you for supporting the capricious me! Thanks for not only like our work but me too. I truly love every one of you ^_^

【閒聊】
其實也沒什麼，只是想把一些想對自己與你們說的話說出來，就當是我個人的碎碎念吧⋯⋯

玩cos玩了19年，中間一度斷斷續續的（教主跑去拍人像），從六年前重新回來認真玩cos,一直以來都把cos的定位放在興趣，因為所謂的興趣當飯吃，那就不會是那麼單純的興趣了，它可能會變得有壓力，會逼自己出不喜歡的角色，會得失心很重，會擔心不紅之後還能做什麼工作。會整天想與人競爭,跟自己的朋友比較來比較去，有人甚至會想利用別人或踩著他人往上爬，黑別人等等等。
教主自己遇過這樣的人,所以自然保持距離，所以有時候有人問我，你怎麼沒跟誰誰誰合作了⋯⋯,那可能就是他就是那樣的人囉，所謂道不同不相為謀，我想只純粹的玩cosplay，不想跟理念不一樣的人浪費時間而已，因為那樣一點也不開心。

然後教主是一個不喜歡一成不變的人，這會反應在我的作品上，不管是cos或是拍攝的攝影作品風格，我都想儘量嘗試。也許有人會說,我現在都喜歡拍肉的,尺度大怎樣的，那我想你一定是沒有從頭關注我們,沒有認真看我們的粉專，我們的作品五花八門，各種風格都有；況且，我一開始創立粉專的時候，尺度就不小，再說，肉跟藝術這種界定本來就見仁見智，不喜歡你可以不要看，慢走不送，你因為這樣就脫粉，選擇忽略我們拍攝的其他東西，那我只能說，你真的很不了解我們。

教主本身是學藝術出身，現在的正職工作也是（我們不是職業coser ）,我看很多東西都會先以藝術眼光去看,很難評斷是否色情，因為還有一種東西叫做情慾藝術，歐美風氣也都比較開放大方，教主之前又一陣子待在人像圈，漸而習慣不以為意，但我想因為我們是東方人，cos界平均年齡又偏小的關係，大部分人觀念保守的情況下，粉專被檢舉也是層出不窮，因此，我們現在只要有關肉或性感題材，一律以電子檔的方式販售，這一點，還請一直支持我們的你多多包含。

關於教主對於cos的態度.......
在興趣創作的情況下，
我認為cos跟繪師一樣，除了還原，還有著各種可能性，它是自由的，私心的，充滿妄想的。
我喜歡拍還原原作劇情的照片，因為可以演藝自己的演技，表現那個角色的個性，揣摩情緒，真的很過癮，我想這是cosplay最迷人的地方，也是我最喜歡的部分。
但我也喜歡拍私心的東西，喜歡拍喜歡的CP，bl、gl、惡搞、性轉等等ooc的東西。我喜歡在我的地盤自由發揮創作與構想。

然而如果今天是工作的狀態就完全不同了，我會對自己與搭檔非常嚴厲，工作狀態的我會完全還原角色個性中，我會角色帶入，情感帶入，就像附身一樣，這是我對於自己cos工作時的態度要求。

當然，這只是我個人狀況，每個人有自己的表現方式與原則，我們都應互相尊重包容。
我認為：
Cos是成為喜愛角色的那份興奮與滿足
Cos是還原角色的那份挑戰
Cos是將腦內妄想成為現實的轉換
Cos是表達個人理念與的藝術表現
Cos是與自己想法一致的人產生共鳴的那份感動
Cos是尊重包容與你不同觀點的人的那份體貼
Cos是不同的畫風，不同的概念下產生的新火花
Cos是愛，乘載著友情、心酸、與回憶

不管是職業coser，業餘coser，還原派、充滿個人私心的ooc派，ps繪師派⋯⋯
只要是打從心底開心,不強迫做自己不喜歡做得事，不黑不謾罵霸凌別人，有何不可？
Cos是開心的,自由的;如果你的cos讓你充滿壓力,可能要改變一下心態或是重新審視自己的現況了,才能從中得到真正的滿足與快樂。

還是那句老話：—莫忘初心，玩得開心—

謝謝一直支持喜歡如此任性多變的我,謝謝不只是喜歡我的cos作品而是喜歡「我」這個人的朋友們；我真心愛你們^_^。

🇩🇰 這是一篇深度報導，來自歐洲現存最古老的報紙：丹麥Weekendavisen，題目是從香港抗爭運動、香港聯繫加泰羅尼亞的集會，前瞻全球大城市的「永久革命」。一篇報導訪問了世界各地大量學者，我也在其中，雖然只是每人一句，加在一起，卻有了很完整的圖像。

以下為英譯：

Protest! The demonstrations in Hong Kong were just the beginning. Now there are unrest in big cities from Baghdad to Barcelona. Perhaps the stage is set for something that could look like a permanent revolution in the world's big cities.

A world on the barricades

At the end of October, an hour after dark, a group of young protesters gathered at the Chater Garden Park in Hong Kong. Some of them wore large red and yellow flags. The talk began and the applause filled the warm evening air. There were slogans of independence, and demands of self-determination - from Spain. For the protest was in sympathy with the Catalan independence movement.

At the same time, a group of Catalan protesters staged a protest in front of the Chinese Consulate in Barcelona in favor of Hong Kong's hope for more democracy. The message was not to be mistaken: We are in the same boat. Or, as Joshua Wong, one of the leading members of the Hong Kong protest movement, told the Catalan news agency: "The people of Hong Kong and Catalonia both deserve the right to decide their own destiny."

For much of 2019, Hong Kong's streets have been ravaged by fierce protests and a growing desperation on both sides, with escalating violence and vandalism ensuing. But what, do observers ask, if Hong Kong is not just a Chinese crisis, but a warning of anger that is about to break out globally?

Each week brings new turmoil from an unexpected edge. In recent days, attention has focused on Chile. Here, more than 20 people have lost their lives in unrest, which has mainly been about unequal distribution of economic goods. Before then, the unrest has hit places as diverse as Lebanon and the Czech Republic, Bolivia and Algeria, Russia and Sudan.

With such a geographical spread, it is difficult to bring the protests to any sort of common denominator, but they all reflect a form of powerlessness so acute that traditional ways of speaking do not seem adequate.

Hardy Merriman, head of research at the International Center for Nonviolent Conflict in Washington, is not in doubt that it is a real wave of protest and that we have not seen the ending yet.

"I have been researching non-violent resistance for 17 years, and to me it is obvious that there are far more popular protest movements now than before. Often the protests have roots in the way political systems work. Elsewhere, it is about welfare and economic inequality or both. The two sets of factors are often related, ”he says.

Economic powerlessness

Hong Kong is a good example of this. The desire among the majority of Hong Kong's seven million residents to maintain an independent political identity vis-à-vis the People's Republic of China is well known, but the resentment of the streets is also fueled by a sense of economic powerlessness. Hong Kong is one of the most unequal communities in the world, and especially the uneven access to the real estate market is causing a stir.

According to Lee Chun-wing, a sociologist at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the turmoil in the city is not just facing Beijing, but also expressing a daunting showdown with the neoliberal economy, which should diminish the state's role and give the market more influence, but in its real form often ends with the brutal arbitrariness of jungle law.

'The many protests show that neoliberalism is unable to instill hope in many. And as one of the world's most neoliberal cities, Hong Kong is no exception. While the protests here are, of course, primarily political, there is no doubt that social polarization and economic inequality make many young people not afraid to participate in more radical protests and do not care whether they are accused of damage economic growth, 'he says.

The turmoil is now so extensive that it can no longer be dismissed as a coincidence. Something special and significant is happening. As UN Secretary General António Guterres put it last week, it would be wrong to stare blindly at the superficial differences between the factors that get people on the streets.
“There are also common features that are recurring across the continents and should force us to reflect and respond. It is clear that there is growing distrust between the people and the political elites and growing threats to the social contract. The world is struggling with the negative consequences of globalization and the new technologies that have led to growing inequality in individual societies, "he told reporters in New York.

Triggered by trifles

In many cases, the riots have been triggered by questions that may appear almost trivial on the surface. In Chile, there was an increase in the price of the capital's subway equivalent to 30 Danish cents, while in Lebanon there were reports of a tax on certain services on the Internet. In both places, it was just the reason why the people have been able to express a far more fundamental dissatisfaction.

In a broad sense, there are two situations where a population is rebelling, says Paul Almeida, who teaches sociology at the University of California, Merced. The first is when more opportunities suddenly open up and conditions get better. People are getting hungry for more and trying to pressure their politicians to give even more concessions.

“But then there is also the mobilization that takes place when people get worse. That seems to be the overall theme of the current protests, even in Hong Kong. People are concerned about various kinds of threats they face. It may be the threat of inferior economic conditions, or it may be a more political threat of erosion of rights. But the question is why it is happening right now. That's the 10,000-kroner issue, ”says Almeida.

Almeida, who has just published the book Social Movements: The Structure of Social Mobilization, even gives a possible answer. A growing authoritarian, anti-democratic flow has spread across the continents and united rulers in all countries, and among others it is the one that has now triggered a reaction in the peoples.

“There is a tendency for more use of force by the state power. If we look at the death toll in Latin America, they are high considering that the countries are democracies. This kind of violence is not usually expected in democratic regimes in connection with protests. It is an interesting trend and may be related to the authoritarian flow that is underway worldwide. It's worth watching, 'he says.

The authoritarian wave

Politologists Anna Lürhmann and Staffan Lindberg from the University of Gothenburg describe in a paper published earlier this year a "third autocratic wave." Unlike previous waves, for example, in the years before World War II, when democracy was beaten under great external drama , the new wave is characterized by creeping. It happens little by little - in countries like Turkey, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Hungary and Russia - at such a slow pace that you barely notice it.

Even old-fashioned autocrats nowadays understand the language of democracy - the only acceptable lingua franca in politics - and so the popular reaction does not happen very often when it becomes clear at once that the electoral process itself is not sufficient to secure democratic conditions. Against this backdrop, Kenneth Chan, a politician at Hong Kong Baptist University, sees the recent worldwide wave of unrest as an expression of the legitimacy crisis of the democratic regimes.

“People have become more likely to take the initiative and take part in direct actions because they feel that they have not made the changes they had hoped for through the elections. In fact, the leaders elected by the peoples are perceived as undermining the institutional guarantees of citizens' security, freedom, welfare and rights. As a result, over the past decade, we have seen more democracies reduced to semi-democracies, hybrid regimes and authoritarian regimes, ”he says.

"Therefore, we should also not be surprised by the new wave of resistance from the people. On the surface, the spark may be a relatively innocent or inconsiderate decision by the leadership, but people's anger quickly turns to what they see as the cause of the democratic deroute, that is, an arrogant and selfish leadership, a weakened democratic control, a dysfunctional civil society. who are no longer able to speak on behalf of the people. ”The world is changing. Anthony Ince, a cardiff at Cardiff University who has researched urban urban unrest, sees the uprisings as the culmination of long-term nagging discontent and an almost revolutionary situation where new can arise.

"The wider context is that the dominant world order - the global neoliberalism that has dominated since the 1980s - is under pressure from a number of sides, creating both uncertainty and at the same time the possibility of change. People may feel that we are in a period of uncertainty, confusion, anxiety, but perhaps also hope, ”he says.
Learning from each other.

Apart from mutual assurances of solidarity the protest movements in between, there does not appear to be any kind of coordination. But it may not be necessary either. In a time of social media, learning from each other's practices is easy, says Simon Shen, a University of Hong Kong political scientist.

“They learn from each other at the tactical level. Protesters in Hong Kong have seen what happened in Ukraine through YouTube, and now protesters in Catalonia and Lebanon are taking lessons from Hong Kong. It's reminiscent of 1968, when baby boomers around the globe were inspired by an alternative ideology to break down rigid hierarchies, 'he says.
But just as the protest movements can learn from each other, the same goes for their opponents. According to Harvard political scientist Erica Chenoweth, Russia has been particularly active in trying to establish cooperation with other authoritarian regimes, which feel threatened by riots in the style of the "color revolutions" on the periphery of the old Soviet empire at the turn of the century.

"It has resulted in joint efforts between Russian, Chinese, Iranian, Venezuelan, Belarusian, Syrian and other national authorities to develop, systematize and report on techniques and practices that have proved useful in trying to contain such threats," writes Chenoweth in an article in the journal Global Responsibility to Protect.

Max Fisher and Amanda Taub, commentators at the New York Times, point to the social media as a double-edged sword. Not only are Twitter and Facebook powerful weapons in the hands of tech-savvy autocrats. They are also of questionable value to the protesting grass roots. With WhatsApp and other new technologies, it is possible to mobilize large numbers of interested and almost-interested participants in collective action. But they quickly fall apart again.

The volatile affiliation is one of the reasons why, according to a recent survey, politically motivated protests today only succeed in reaching their targets in 30 percent of cases. A generation ago, the success rate was 70 percent. Therefore, unrest often recurs every few years, and they last longer, as Hong Kong is an example of. Perhaps the scene is set for something that might resemble a permanent revolution in the world's big cities - a kind of background noise that other residents will eventually just get used to.

"Since there is still no obvious alternative to neoliberalism, the polarization that led to the protests initially will probably continue to apply," says Lee of Hong Kong Polytechnic University. "At the same time, this means that the anger and frustration will continue to rumble in society."

Video Title: The Mysterious Chinese Art Heists Across Europe

"Stockholm, Sweden. 2010. Passersby on the streets of the capital were confused and scared. Several cars in and around the vicinity had lit up in flames, and no one had any idea why. Police soon arrived on scene but they too were baffled with what they saw. Now, several kilometers to the west, on the outskirts of the city, a small group of masked men made their way across the grounds of the Drottningholm Palace (the private residence of the Swedish Royal Family, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Their target was the royal pavilion situated in the southern part of the complex, which displayed countless works of historic art. Once there, the men forced their way in through the backdoors, and went right to work. They smashed the protective display cases, and grabbed whatever items they wanted. This immediately set off the alarm system, which alerted the Swedish police. Now, despite the alarm, the robbers remained calm, because they knew exactly where the police were. The burning cars were in fact a distraction for them set up by the robbers, and they had fallen right into the trap. Still, the police raced towards the crime scene, but by the time they reached the royal pavilion, the place was empty (the robbers were in and out in less than six minutes). Upon inspection, sculptures, chalices, plates and teapots - all invaluable items - were now missing from the permanent state collection of art and antiquities; and this wasn’t just a huge economic loss, but a cultural one as well. It was later found out that after fleeing the pavilion on mopeds, the robbers made their way to a nearby lake where they were then picked up by a white speedboat. Though from this point, the trail went cold...

*Note: The narrative of the implication of the Chinese government was made popular by Alex Palmer of GQ in 2018 (though these suspicions had existed long before).

Nhuộm tóc tại nhà phần 3 lol

Không biết sẽ còn bao nhiêu cái video về tự nhuộm tại nhà nữa nhỉ? Nhưng Gấu chỉ dám tự nhuộm thôi chứ không dám tự tẩy vì sợ hư hết tóc.

Thuốc Gấu dùng hôm nay là của hãng Schwarkopt Live Color - Úc, màu Utra Bright (màu này trên web đổi tên thành màu Electric Blue), dạng Semi - Permanent Color tức là thuốc nhuộm tạm thời nên sẽ phai màu sau 8 lần gội. Màu lên chuẩn, sau lần gội lần thứ 2 thì thấy hơi khô 1 chút xíu nên chắc phải dưỡng thêm thì may ra mới hồi lại được.

Mọi người muốn mua màu này thì chắc phải check mua onl rồi vì ở VN không bán nha.
