So I saw this going around on Facebook recently and I bet we can do that for fun too :D
As you might know, it’s actually 25 facts but I thought that was way too long…
When you read this, you must do one of yours too! Please don’t make me feel alone :(
1. I have an addictive personality. If I like a song, I will put on a repeat for a week, if I love a website, like Chictopia, I am on it 24/7.
2. When I was in Elementary School, I did a biggest scam of my life. I told my friends that I was tight with Leonardo Di Caprio and he would send me his autograph whenever I asked him. And they believed! I gave Di Caprio’s (fake) autograph to my friends in exchange of candies, ice creams, Spice Girls’ pictures and posters
3. I hate having pets. I love dogs and animals but I get tooooo attached. I currently have a dog and I spoiled her too much….I am so scared on how my children are going to turn out in the future.
4. I lived in France for 8 years and in South Korea for 8 years. I moved in the US when I was 16.
5. I am worst at giving directions because I get my rights and left confused all the time. I’d being pointing to the right and say “Turn left here. I SAID TURN LEFT!!!!”
6. I have this jinx—whenever I tell people about something that I really want it to happen, it never happens. So I usually keep it a secret when I really want something to happen.
7. Although I went to vintage shopping since I was 13-ish, I still have a hard time buying clothes. When I was younger, I saw this show about exorcism and the lady who was possessed apparently got the ghost from a cloth that she got it from a thrift store. BAH!
8. One way to see if I am comfortable with you — my accent. My accent gets really strong if I am comfortable with you. So I tend to hear, at first, “Wow! You barely have an accent.” and a few months later, I’d be rolling out my Korean accent
9. I am a theory junky. I love Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim (yay for collective effervescence), Michel Foucault, Gramsci, Marcuse!!! I am a big nerd.
10. When I was young, I had a poodle. One day he bit my nose. I got furious so I bit his head back.
11. I STILL have my blankie. Yes, I am sooo ashamed. Now there are lots of holes and it’s pretty nasty but it’s so soft…
12. I don’t get bored easily. I love to day dream and just be in my own little world.
13. For some reason, I do not really like having people over at my place. I dont enjoy when guests touch my stuff WITHOUT asking. Or, I get really stressed out as I feel like I need to entertain my guests constantly. Too much for me.
14. I considered in pursuing my career in Sociology. Meaning, getting to PhD degree in Sociology. But I gave up after hearing that it takes about 8-10 years to get a PhD degree in Sociology. Phew! But I might since I don’t know what I want for my future…yet.
15. You probably heard “oh my god, I always attract weirdos/nerds/creeps/etc.” I tend to attract gold digger friends. Dozen of my friends get Burberry coat, Chanel bag, an apartment, camera, $500 course meals, a GSP system, an iphone, kitchen supplies, etc from guys. I don’t understand but they don’t understand that I don’t understand. Why?
1.) I sing everyday, everywhere
2.) I can’t sleep with socks on (that will be the death of me)
3.) I’m a big movie watcher
4.) Total adrenaline junkie
5.) I’m a horrible swimmer
6.) I tend to be sarcastic
7.) Music is my addiction..I will literally listen to anything
8.) After I took an art class I was no longer an organization freak
9.) Every once in awhile I look at luxury homes and that motivates me to move forward in my career
10.) I have never dyed my hair..EVER!
11.) I believe the worst book in the world to read is the drivers manual
12.) I drink a gallon of water a day..no joke
13.) I love to thrift
14.) I don’t have a twitter or instagram
15.) I have Celiac disease

Do you still read magazines or no? If you do, what are you favorites (not necessarily fashion magazines)?
I haven’t purchased a magazine in months, but I think the last magazine that I bought was Vogue. As for favorites I like Vanity Fair, Interview, Elle, and W.
xo
I read every magazine I can get my hands on!
The last one I read was InStyle.

Come on,
you know you have an obsession, everyone does.
So come on out and tell the world.
My obsession is korean things. I’m not korean myself, but I love their music, their fashion, their language, their dramas [bof, anyone?]. Yea, my obsession is kind of strange, but who really cares?
So let’s have it…what’s your obsession?
Yours,
Rinnie
learning
shopping
facebook (or the computer in general)
peanut butter

I was wondering what people thought of the images in V’s size issue which has been floating around the web for a while now, i think the actual issue comes out today(!)
Whilst I like the fact that they’ve used plus size models (Love crystal Renn!!!), ive read alot of comments online how the magazine is taking it too far becuase the models are unhealthy and “overweight” I really dont think you can comment on a person’s health based on an image, and there are lots of variations of healthy whether you’re skinny, slim or curvier!!
i agree with the fact that normal sized people are being ignored – e.g. its either skinny models or plus size models – ive yet to see (on a regular basis) models who are size 10, 12, 14 (uk sizes – i think US sizes its 4, 6, 8) and i think magazines should be realistic about the images they promote.
i dnt think being skinny automatically makes you unhealthy, but i dnt think being ‘fat’ or a size 16 automatically means you are unhealthy. i like the spread with the skinny model and crystal renn, i think crystal renn looks amazing in some shots, and i think the other model, (Jacquelyn Jablonski, looked amazing as well. both look healthy and beautiful.
anyway essay over, im just wondering what you’re opinions are…
I flagged as well
anyway, I think having more variation in models would be great. Not just size 10s or whatever, but shorter models are stuff so we can see what looks good on more petite people. The fashion industry always has to have an idealistic beauty though, no matter what that happens to be so people will buy things to reach that “perfection”

If you haven’t read about it yet, here’s the link:
http://justjared.buzznet.com/2010/01/13/heidi-montag-plastic-surgery-overload/
I think it’s unbelievably sad and disturbing. Heidi was a gorgeous girl BEFORE any surgery:
http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/3/0/3/1/6/orig-130316.jpg
http://khairilhusni.blogmas.com/files/2009/08/heidi_montag_before1.jpg
And now she looks like a monster! She claims it’s for “maintenance” this girl is 23 years old!! I could somewhat understand the first surgery she had a few years ago, she did have a somewhat large nose that she was clearly insecure about and I too sometimes would like to get a boob job just to take them from a small B cup to a good sized C cup. But this second time around was COMPLETELY unnecessary and disgusting. Liposuction???
http://www.okmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/12993.jpg
Where did they even find fat to suck out?
Heidi may not realize it but LOTS of young girls watch The Hills and read those magazines, me and my friends first started watching Laguna Beach in 8th grade and girls ages 13-16 are VERY impressionable. She is giving them the complete wrong idea and whether she likes it or not she’s a role model! I’d say she MUST be very mentally unstable to do all of this.
Phew. How do you guys feel about it?
She has aged herself considerably – looks like she should be one of the Cougars on the real housewives of NJ. But I was reading through one of those OK magazines and saw that she has had her nose redone again and reduced her implants (it look like it helped a bit).

^ Sofia Coppola. I really dislike her movies. Like with a passion. I don’t get the big deal.
Also Katy Perry. I find her quite transparent and unintelligent (though she tries to talk a big game). And most everybody who’s gotten named (Miley, Kardashians, etc).

This is a really important topic to bring up, and I wanted to make this thread because of what happened at the Miss America Pageant.
If you missed it, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XMvviFbkf0&feature=related
So, what are your thoughts?
Personally, It bothers me that people are just like ‘oh well its her opinion…’
There is an EXTENT to what personal opinion is okay.
There is a difference between opinions such as; I prefer purple over green.
And: “I hate people with white skin and really I dont think they should have rights and I think there should be a second holocaust for them.”
…
That was obviously just an example by the way.
Equality is Equality.
People are being snotty about their religion (bigots.) by trying to have CONTROL over people.
You cannot deny two people equality. Gay people SHOULD be allowed to be married, EVERYWHERE!!
I am for it, of course. I don’t get how you can’t be for gay marriage. I mean, yeah, I am not gay, but then why should I care if two grown up person who love each other want to get married? If Mary and Liza, Jacob and Adam or Mary and Adam want to get married, good for them. It doesn’t change my life a single bit if they do. Gay love is just as beautiful as hetero love. I am so glad that I live in a country that allows gay marriage, because they deserve the same right to marry the one they love as much as a straight person does.

I’d like their ads if they were in Marc Jacobs. But they’re always in grandma outfits that go up their crotch or have and awkward shape around their bums. And I don’t much like the lighting either.

i was wondering if anyone heard about H&M taking the clothes they dont sell and throwing them straight into the garbage and cutting them up so the homeless cant wear them. Do you think it is wrong because thousands of people are poor and need clothes and they could at least donate the leftovers? or do you think they are doing the right thing?
I hope that’s not true! I don’t think that’s right. There is absolutely no harm in donating.

The university town here (Uni of Maine at Farmington) is experiencing a protest today. Some ladies wish to march down the street, topless, to protest the fact that it’s not generally accepted for us ladies to do such a thing (apart from beaches, etc). Here in Maine, it’s NOT illegal for girls to go topless in the street, and these girls want to promote this fact, and somehow make it popular for all girls to go topless if they wish.
I’m a bit doubtful about this: firstly, I have NO ISSUE WHATSOEVER with the topless concept; all power to ‘em. But surely by bringing it to attention it’ll cause narrow minded people to complain and try and MAKE it illegal? Plus it’s a western cultural thing that topless=kinda more private. I don’t actually appreciate topless MEN on the streets; in the park or the beach is another matter ;-), and same for the ladies, i think.
Is this a style statement, an attention-seeking statement, a women’s rights thing, or a western-culture-being-shy thing?! (of course, it’s all of the above). What does anyone else think? Basically this is going to attract all the local rednecks, and then these girls are gonna bitch that it was a gawk fest! I just think there may be a better way to make the point?
Would YOU do it?! (I wouldn’t, but I’ve been topless on the beach plenty, so I’m not against the topless idea, just not sure about the context….)
it sends a clear message that you’re CHEAP

I think everyone needs to do this wherever they can, in school, in work, wherever. There are so many people out there who are gay or believe that gays should have the right to love as they please, and be married as such. Hopefully this idea will spread into other issues, but I want to start a petition here, and hopefully Chictopia can make a difference in the world outside of fashion.
All you have to do is give a sign of your support, so I’ll start

After this whole women beating incident I’ve lost all respect for the boy.
You obviously have problems expressing yourself if you have to brutally beat someone (especially weaker than you) to get your message across.
I mean come on, if he was a real man he wouldn’t had needed to use his hands :/
I never cared for Rihanna much after she cut her hair and all that jazz but she nor any other female don’t deserve to be beaten like no matter if they are rich or poor.

Forever21 has some new workout clothes. What I want to talk about is the fact that the two models are wearing super high heels whilst “working out”. I know its just a photoshoot to promote the new clothes but come on, doesn’t that make them look stupid?
Hahah i work at forever 21, i was there when we got the activewear line. It actually sells REALLY WELL in my store. Activewear is one of the rooms i actually get to merchandise. Now the heels, im not really sure. Its what they want us to do, so do it. Its like activewear for the runway.
