what we wore的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

Haha yeh let's make that happen. I'd love to come. Then will give you a kimono when you come to Japan. #CulturalExchange #Repost @mohdsultanh I wore my national costume in NEW YORK with pride for my press conference with @piaget & my buddy game changer @miyavi_ishihara was excited about it that he will come to Dubai & I will make sure he wears the Kandoora for the Arab experience! We are the #GameChangers !!! #PlayADifferentGame #PiagetPoloS #ArabAndProud 🇦🇪🇯🇵🇺🇸 Follow #Piaget to know what we were up to!!!

I remember the first year I tried out wearing the hijab before committing to it I was 20 maybe. I was like - lets see how it goes! It wasn’t until when I walked into meetings and men in suits asking me to take my hijab off if I wanted to sign with the label- it wasn’t until when this happened when I felt it was important to stay true to myself. Man... there were a number of times - even for shoots I was asked to show some shoulders or my knee and i just walked away. When I was the first hijab singer songwriter in my country some fashion magazines back then didn’t even want to put me on the cover.. It was unheard of- hijabi on the fashion magazine cover. Things are so different today. I’m happy to see more of my sisters out there doing their thing, and the world becoming more accepting women like me, regardless of how we wore our scarf turban or hijab- to see our calibre, our soul, our identity. But back then- The prejudice was real. People in my field looked at me a certain way, I just had to ignore it and move forward. I literally just prayed that all will be okay & talked to my mom, and take it slowly day by day. I did my thing with the intention to make MY music, and help giving my family a better life.. What I have today is such a blessing alhamdulillah. Thank you everyone who gave me an opportunity to shine, giving me work, & also for being tough on me too. I needed it to strive.

Here’s a throwback when @instylemagazine took a chance with this hijabi and did an 6 page fashion spread / article on me in 2016.🙏🏽❤️

Happy world hijab day✨ @ Brooklyn, New York City

🇩🇰 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."

Lyrics:

I recall when you were mine
You used to teach me how to drive
You used to make fun of me when I’d cry

And I remember how we met
3rd of July I wore a white dress
And your hand was broken you were in a cast

And we fell in love
But we both messed it up
You were a storm and I was fire
Yeah we both had enough
Of Things broken on the floor
What were we fighting for?

It was bitter sweet
You were like a dream
And I was your girl on the passenger seat
Right next to you
We were unstoppable
We thought we had it all

We used to laugh about the things
That no one else would find funny
Just you and me when nobody’s around

And I remember every second
When we broke up in your car
I held a smile and held you in my arms

We were so in love
But we both messed it up
You were a storm and I was fire
Yeah we both have given up
It’s not working anymore (no)
Don’t want to fight no more

It was bitter sweet
You were like a dream
And I was your girl on the passenger seat
Right next to you
We were unstoppable
We thought we had it all

Even if I knew this would end
I’d do it again
Even if I knew this would end
I’d do it again
Even if I knew this would end
I’d do it again
Even if I knew this would end
I’d do it again

We were so in love
But we both messed it up
(I’d do it again)

Storm and fire
Yeah we both had enough
(I’d do it again)

Bitter sweet
you were like a dream
(I’d do it again)

But I’d do it again
I’d do it again
I’d do it again

Update: My heart goes out to everybody affected by the Earthquake in Japan. We may feel useless right now but we can pray for them.


Hey everybody ^.^

Tsubasa Masuwaka's makeup is probably one of the most requested looks I get. I promised a Tsubasa Masuwaka inspired tutorial months ago so I apologise about the delay guys but here it is ^_^

Tsubasa is a popular Japanese magazine popteen model famous for her long blonde hair and gyaru makeup.

Her entire face remains neutral (not much colour). Her makeup is all about her super matte face, bronze eyes with super long eyelashes, pale pink lips and light pink cheeks. While her eyes are kept toned down- they still really stand out thanks to her eyeliner and lashes (and ofc circle lenses).

Japanese gyaru makeup requires quite a lot of makeup. I could barely recognise myself after the makeup and wig. I have to say I was pretty amazed because I felt like a life size doll. Amazeballs!

This is definitely not something I would wear everyday but I definitely respect the girlies that rock this makeup approach. When I was in Japan, so many girls wore their makeup like this for everyday and it was like a city full of dolls. I was quite fascinated!

Makeup doesn't make me beautiful. Confidence, Knowledge, sense of humour and personality is what makes a person beautiful.

Please don't bash people's culture by being judge mental. We should respect other people's choices. As long as they don't hurt other people's feelings, they should be able to celebrate their individuality.

Note: I am not saying I look like Tsubasa. I am not trying to be a Japanese wannabe either. I am just doing a tutorial based on Japanese makeup because I respect all makeup styles and appreciate the art within each style. I enjoy experimenting and makeup is just something I like playing around with. It should be fun =)

Much love,

Aww thank you everyone & xteeener, totally did not expect to get 1st place. Love you alL! hope you all had lots of fun with the entries. Well done everyone!


This is a Contest Entry to Xteeeners contest. We are asked to create a makeup commercial to any makeup product. So I created a quick makeup ad with a made up product/brand.

If only this product really exists T_T It was super funny while making the entry but really really fun. Thank you Xteeener for holding such a great contest. I usually dont enter contests but this one seemed so creative and unique that I had to. Plus- it was super super fun.

Thank you girly! I had a right laugh at myself and Im sure you guys will enjoy my silliness too. I didn't make this entry so I can win prizes, I did it because I geniunely thought it was a very unique contest and it challenging. I highly encourage you guys to try too ^_^ Good luck to everyone that entered! ^_^

Ps. Dont forget to stick around for the bloopers. Haha! Different from what you expected eh? Blow driers are painful for your eyes! Only do it if you are krazy. But come on, we all have before ^_^

pps. I purposely didnt wear much makeup and wore white for the commercial to produce a pure and clean type of ad. As if the commercial reflects the skin = clear skin. I am a designer so I am creative so I stress on lighting, music, content, message and composition.

Gah, hair products are now allowed...darn it, I wouldve done a hair ad instead now o_o But still had heaps of fun
Much love,
Bubbi
