What is the world coming to?!

9 comments Tuesday, December 8, 2009
Mia Freedman's blog MamaMia has alerted me to the fact that CHILDREN and BABIES are now being photoshopped.
Seriously, what is wrong with the human race when they believe that little kids need to be retouched?

















WTF.


I think the really horrid part of this story is that the girls' parents have obviously agreed to this, or even in some cases, requested these major changes. If so, what is life going to be like for these young girls when they get older? Kids, girls especially have enough problems accepting themselves without their parents having their photos altered. If they're going to do that, they might as well go and book the toddlers in for plastic surgery.

I'm going to see the legendary Fleetwood Mac in concert this Tuesday!
Even though all the band members will probably be using walking frames and taking nap breaks every 10 minutes, I am very excited. It should be a good show.

I am actually quite disappointed that Christine McVie will not be touring with the band as she left sometime during 2008. She was a pretty good vocalist. I like her. All other original band members (Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie) will be there thankfully.

I'll be sure to have some photos from the concert, but until then here are some photos from the vintage days of Fleetwood Mac.











Lovely readers! Do any of you like Fleetwood Mac? Or am I just totally living in the wrong decade?


ps, I wish I was Stevie Nicks ♥

Today I came across some erm, unusual stuffed toys.
Lets just say you won't find these at Toys R Us.

I'd like to introduce you to...

The Kissing Disease



Anthrax


And.



Wait for it.



Herpes!




Whoever has a sick enough mind to come up with this sort of thing- I want to shake their hand. Who comes up with a stuffed toy resembling a disease?!

These are so amazingly unique and kooky. I love them! I'm very much considering buying them. Although, that might make me look like more of an insane person so if anyone wants to buy them for me, that would be more socially acceptable and less weird.

Available from ModCloth

maybe it's a good idea to re-read before you publish.

You can definitely tell when either a high school work experience kid has written a story, or when the sub editors were under the influence of unnamed substances..

Pay particular attention to the text in bold.

THE heavily pregnant owner of this vehicle thought her own water was going to break as she watched the family car being buried by a freak flood.

The Hyundai XL was parked in Quinns Rocks yesterday morning when a water pipe burst, sending hundreds of kilolitres of water gushing down Camira Way. 
Samantha Sandilands, 20, who is due to give birth in eight days, stared in horror as her car slowly disappeared under a torrent of rubble.

``The first thing I thought was `I hope I don't go into labour','' she said. ` ``But as long as I could get across the road, I knew I could get to the police car parked up the road and get to the hospital.

``I was really stressed and told the police I might go into labour, so they hung around and offered me a lift to the hospital if needed.

``I thought my water might have broken.''

She described it as ``a waterfall coming down the road''.


``It was similar to Bells Rapids (on the Swan River at Brigadoon),'' she said. ``We went to bed and it was still flowing.''

Her partner, Matt Young, 21, said he was woken by a policeman knocking on his door about 1am.

``I didn't know what was going on,'' he said. ``I came out and there was a wall of water down the road.

``As I got to the letterbox, I was knee-deep in water.

``I managed to wade out to the car and managed to save the baby seat out of it, that's about all we got.

``I was in complete disbelief. I did not know what to do. I was in shock.'



I think this article needs to be subbed.
