Prom Night

PROM NIGHT
2nd issue.
This issue will be all about guys.
Which means guys out there attending prom,
are encouraged to look at these advices.

Prom night is often the time when a guy needs to buy or wear a tuxedo,
but later in his life there is a need for more
suits when he goes for weddings, family ceremonies, parties, operas or for his first official meeting. Tuxedos are considered to be the best prom suits for prom night.

You need to remember that, the suit which you're wearing for prom is very important, as it will tell you your personality and bring out the style in you. So you need to make sure, you are wearing the suitable prom suit for yourself.

And for guys, what's really important is
the perfect suits must be appropriate to be the centre of attraction to girls and not forgetting to be charming in all of your own unique styles.
So without further awaiting,
it will be all about the suits!

There are seven types of suits.

1. Apollo
This 7-button, mandarin collar looks best with a banded shirt and a button cover instead of a tie. Tall guys with the "long and lean" look are best suited for this style.
BODY TYPE: Tall, Lean

2."Sterling"A Tuxedo Junction Exclusive
This black three-button notch lapel adds excitement to your look with a refined chalk stripe. To complete the look add a matching Stripe vest and Esquire windsor tie. The classic lines of this tux are suited for all body types.
BODY TYPE: All

3."Hampton"A Tuxedo Junction Exclusive
Stand out from the prom crowd with this two-button tone on tone Champagne stripe tux. Accent with a brown tie, brown vest and ivory shirt to complete a look she is sure to love.
BODY TYPE: All

4."Tuscany"A Tuxedo Junction Exclusive
Go long with the graceful sophistication of the 5 button white Tuscany notch lapel tux. Complete the look by matching your date’s dress with a tie and vest from the rainbow of colors and styles available at Tuxedo Junction.
BODY TYPE: Tall, Lean

5.Mirage
This no-button, high fashion look works for all body types. It's best worn with an ascot, four-in-hand tie, or button cover - but not a bow tie! Big guys find this style works well for them.
BODY TYPE: All

6.2-ButtonTraditional Shawl Lapel
This 2-button traditional is one of the most popular each year. This model has "shawl" lapels; however, the 2-button notch model also offers a standard, contemporary fit for all body types. The 2-button traditional can be worn with all types of ties, offering a relaxed formal appearance. Guys with broad shoulders and a muscular build look best in tuxedos with the shawl lapel.
BODY TYPE: All

7.Vests
Most formal rental shops offer a rainbow selection of vests - with matching ties in various textures and patterns, and they work with almost every style of tuxedo.

8.Shoes [Super Essential]
Traditional Patent Leather Black Lace-Up, Traditional Patent Leather Capped Toe Lace-Up, Patent Leather with Suede Inlays Lace-Up, and Square-Toed Lace-Up (hottest rental!)

Remember,
Guys will have fun amping up their prom ensemble as well. Black shirts will replace the traditional white shirt this year. The dark background will make jewel-toned ties pop. Cuff links in all shapes and colors will also be prominent this year. Many guys will pay attention to detail and even match their cuff links to their date's dress color. Guys looking to go the non-traditional route will go for the tailored suit. Also look for pinstripes, straight ties and plenty of color.

If not, for a simple yet much practical way of dressing.
You might consider wearing a tie too, when dressing for formal occasions; these are appropriate, even in today's time of lax dress codes. The necktie is the ultimate consummate piece of men's garb.
However, not just any tie will do. While there are some ties that can accent the rest of your attire and give it a certain twang, there will also be other ties which can certainly detract from the ensemble, and indeed, detract terribly so.
To make this a little less complicated, know which tie is best for which ensemble. Since there are tons of different kinds of ties and many different coats, pants, and shoes and belts, just make sure on the one thing that a tie absolutely has to match - your shirt. Once the tie matches the shirt, you can then work outward to the suit itself. To better understand this, the necktie must be applied to their suitability for different shirt fabrics and shirt colors with which the ties should match.
There may also be some guys who prefer the bow tie instead of the straight necktie. This is also certainly acceptable for men's dress, and is in fact a welcome deviation. The suitability of necktie in men's contemporary dress garb can likewise be applied also to the bow tie, as well.

Prom Night

PROM NIGHT
It's a girl's dream during their sweet sixteen,

that is also the time whereby
girls get into the real action
of dressing up!
So what's really important is actually dressing up
and to be really glamorous on
that special night.
Therefore, there is a need to know
all about the dresses.

Hence, let's get into the action.
First up are the DRESSES.

The Bold and Beautiful
Bright hues will electrify the spring season. What better way to jump start your way out of the winter hibernation, than with a burst of bold color! Yellows shine, blues uplift while greens gleam. Try a color you never thought was possible; you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Finish your confident look with a complimentary shoe color to create a fearless and fun combination.

Quinceanera traditions
Today’s ceremonies embrace religious traditions, and the virtues of family and social responsibility. The custom is a celebration of the young girl (la Quinceanera), and a recognition of her journey from childhood to maturity. The celebration highlights God, family, friends, music, food and dance. In the Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central and South American traditions, the custom can be referred to as Quince Anos, a Quinces, a Quinceanera, a Quinceanero or Fiesta Rosa. The celebration traditionally begins with a religious ceremony. A reception is held in the home or banquet hall. The festivities include music and food, as well as a choreographed waltz or dance performed by the Quinceanera and her court.
The Quinceanera traditionally wears a ball gown. Her court, usually comprised of young girls (Dramas) usually dress in gowns.

First Communion Traditions
Holy Communion is a very special time in growing up. Finding the right dress will make the memory and pictures of this special occasion last a lifetime. First holy communion is the blessed sacrament of accepting the Eucharist and a festive occasion for Roman Catholics. The white gowns symbolize the purity and sanctity of this event. Girls wear beautiful dresses and even veils or gloves.

Okay girls those on top are the brief descriptions
on different type of dresses.
But the most important thing is to have
a budget of roughly how much u would want to
spend for the whole prom.
Which means time to save up!

Next up, Tips to save some cash.

Money Savers
1.Get a piggy bank and start dropping coins or notes into it everyday or fortnightly.
2.Stop spending money on things which are not really useful to you now.
3.Try to keep yourself away from temptations on shopping.
4.Get together with some friends and start planning on what you will like to do just
before the prom itself. [as planning makes people save up too]
5.Start bring lunch or snacks to school and avoid eating out.
[this would help on weight lose too]

Money Makers
1. Tell your family friends and neighbors that you’re up for work (babysitting, lawnmowing, carwashing, dogwalking, etc.).
2. Have a second good sale to sell things (clothes, CDs, etc.) you haven’t touched in years. You can also unload some oldies but goodies on eBay.com.
3. Offer up your services to Mom. There's always an attic or garage that needs to be cleaned out.
4. Be a tutor to younger kids. Pass out flyers touting your skills as a math or computer whiz.
5 .Ask older folks in your area if they need help running errands or cleaning their houses. Are you a good chef? Try your hand at cooking, too.

Pretty, isn't it?

TATTOOS

2008-05-20T04:28:00.000-07:00

What is a tattoo to you?

Maybe it is just another crazy doing due to trend setting or following.
Yet to someone who really has an unique way of thinking
would have that is a type of art
nt just skin art
but is a type of BODY art.
Why body art, some will wonder?
It is due to the piece of work inked on a body which will stay
for a lifetime.

So now about tattoos:
1. Getting a tattoo
Scare that you will scare the the design or pattern of your unique
tattoo with others?
Then I would suggest you to go to tattoo studio whereby their
tattoo artist is able to draw their own outstanding designs.
Most importantly is that if you really want to get a tattoo,
yet you are afraid that it will affect your future.
Then please think twice or thrice before doing it.

2. Areas that will be least painful
For guys: Butt and arm
For ladies: Butt, thigh and arm
But this does not mean that if you do at areas listed above
there will not be any pain.
The thing is that it depends on an individuals tolerance
level for pain.

3. Types of tattoo
Abstract
Here we define it as design that does not really falls into any particular category. The designs are often not meaning to depict an object or structure and represent anything concrete in the real world. It could just be a few random lines or shapes that the bearer fancies. The forms, colours and textures are an external expression of the artist's subconscious and feelings. It is something that you should not try to figure what it means or intellectualize it. Afterall, isn't beauty always in the eyes of the beholder?

Bio-Mechanical
A style popularized by illustrator H.R. Giger, who designed the creature from the Alien movies. Biomechanical work usually involves an anatomical flesh intertwined with some technical drawings of machines. A close relative of this style involves just the biological look of flesh without the mechanical parts. If you're a Star Trek fan, think "Borg". Wires, tubes, pipes, and hoses are common attributes of biomechanical designs.

Black and Grey
Refers to the colors used, this style requires the artist to have advanced shading techniques for subtlety. This style originated in the prisons of North America, due to the prisoner's difficulty in obtaining colored ink.

Celtic
Celtic tattooing refers to tattoo work based on Celtic styles of art and design. Scroll-work in particular, Celtic knots, and traditional design elements such as griffins and other stylized mythological creatures, arm bands utilizing interweaving knot-work designs and the Celtic cross and circle are motifs representative of this category. These are much harder for artists to do and is best done by someone who specializes in it. Usually done in just black ink.

Custom
Original work designed by the bearer, either on his/her own or together with the tattooist. Custom designs are prevalent among people looking for a tattoo which fits their personality, set of beliefs or is chosen to mark a special event in their lives. The design itself can be widely varying, depending on taste, budget and attitude of the bearer.

Fantasy
Fantasy is typically set in an imaginary world and features the magic of mythical beings or gods. Fantasy tattoos are characterized by the use of imaginative settings (such as other worlds or times) and of characters (such as supernatural or unnatural beings).

Maori
The Maori are an aboriginal (indigenous) tribe of people native to Polynesian New Zealand. Although they are by no means primitive, they adhere to many traditional ways and treasure their heritage. Ta Moko or Moko is a type of tattoo reserved only for Maori, and should not be imitated in any way.

Old School
Art actually tattooed or based on art tattooed in the earlier days of body art. Old School attributes are usually simpler designs with bold outlines. Some popular old school designs are nautical and armed forces symbols, pinup (calendar) girls, hearts and other designs with "ribbons" surrounding a motto, name or special date.

Oriental
This style of tattooing is more concerned with approach than subject matter. It utilizes the entire body as canvas, rather than the western approach of adding a tattoo here and there.
The Oriental style usually incorporates swirling patterns and figures from eastern mythology into the designs. This style is characterized by flowers with symbolic value (particularly chrysanthemums), fish (again with symbolic value), such as carp, the familiar dragon imagery, and background fill-work reminiscent of water and waves.
These images are often stylized in a particular fashion that follows the design rules of traditional Japanese art. Individuals in traditional Japanese dress may also be part of the images.

Portrait
Photographic quality work, usually portraits or nature scenes. Images could be taken from photos and is best done by someone who can render realistic photographic images. Usually done in black and gray ink.

Religious
Religion is a human beings’ relation to that which they regard as holy, sacred, spiritual, or divine. Religion is commonly regarded as consisting of a person’s relation to God, or to gods or spirits, but it also encompasses one’s moral conduct, attitudes, beliefs, and practices.
For many, religion is a guiding light - a blueprint as to how to live life. Religious tattoos are one way for a person to express their devotion or faith and the art of tattooing has been connected to religion for centuries. For the Mayas, Incas and Aztecs tattooing played an important role in their religious rituals. For the Ainu, original inhabitants of Japan, tattooing was associated with magical beliefs.
The Polynesians, more than any other race, were responsible for the widest distribution of tattooing, developing in New Zealand a new style, Moko, which consisted of many patterns associated with religious rites and taboo beliefs.

Tribal
Bold, black, silhouette style designs. Most of this work is based on ancient tattoo designs of the South Pacific Islands. These designs, more so where they are strongly based on traditional forms, are usually abstract but this is not always the case, as tattoo artist have modified the traditional designs.
The easiest way to characterize tribal style blackwork is that it consists of a combination of discrete design elements, each of which is self contained, abstract, and without shading. Tribal may not have a separate specific meaning depending on the origin of the design. Colored tribal work is a modification of the tribal blackwork style. Traditional South Pacific Islands tattooing consisted entirely of images worked in black or a blue-black pigment.

Traditional
Traditional style refers to the Western or American tattoo: arranging scrolls of words amongst decorative vignettes, flowers, hearts and animals. The style was first developed to accommodate busy shops of the 40s and 50s near military bases (it is a quick way to tattoo) and the limited color palette then available. This type of tattoo is very stylized, quite two dimensional, and often executed with little regard for art. The lines tend to be thick and bold, the colors are rarely shaded or life-like, and the images tend towards iconic, cartoon-like, and little effort made to make things look realistic. Common design elements include hearts, anchors, birds, panthers, simple flowers (roses in particular), and names.

Fineline
Delicate outlines, often highly detailed. The success of the finished tattoo depends a great deal on the artist's use of negative space, and his or her refraining from adding yet more detail. An overly detailed fineline tattoo, or one that was not carefully planned out, may dissolve into mush after a few years. Fine line tries to reproduce an effect similar to looking at a drawing or painting on the skin. This type of tattooing falls into the categories "color work" and "black and grey". The desired effect is that of the skin being just another type of canvas or medium for the artist.

Scratcher / Handpicked
Handpicked or scratched refers to nonprofessional tattoos. Prison tattoos falls into this category; work that is most likely done with a single needle, often a sewing needle or a pin, dipped in India ink and then pricked into one's own skin or the skin of a friend.

4. Advice to under 18
If you seriously want to get a tattoo
discuss it with your family or someone close.
Because you will never know what type of problem/trouble you will in
when your parents find out about your tattoo.
