This gorgeous shot was taken by photographer Hajime Watanabe for LEJAY-CASSIS.

I do wonder, if we had seen the model in the mirror instead of the bottle where exactly would the man hand be placed on the body?

NegaraKu - Chinese Rap

My sis send me this at wee hours.. omg.. like that also can.. this is a song from a Malaysian brave dude now studing in Taiwan.. if you know chinese (mandarin & hokkien) you will understand better.. first there's the desecration of the song.. then there's the sarcastic hint on police corruption.. followed by the sarcastic reference to the morning Azan prayers being noisy with the muezzin's voice blarring like a noisy rooster.. then there's the sarcastic reference to NEP.. and the sarcastic reference to the civil service.. also reference to our smart talents running away, leaving Malaysia, brain-drain.. there's also references to the discriminatory entry to the local universities.. haha.. enjoy yo!!

composer --> http://www.namewee.com/

Unfortunately, the contents of the song get him in trouble. According to the creator’s, the Government is considering to put him in jail because of the content of this song if he comes back to Malaysia.

Jill Greenberg

For those who don't know who is Jill Greenberg, she's a professional commercial female photographer who became notorious for her portrait series of children crying “End Times” which can be view at The Manipulator website and also on You Tube Cryin'.

Here's some info : Jill Greenberg is a Sick Woman Who Should Be Arrested & Charged With Child Abuse, Jill's response and Podcast interview with Jill / Jill on MSNBC.

No doubt I'm very impressed with her work: stunning, excellent and her post-processing skills that makes all her shots outstanding but I also feel sad looking at the crying babies too. I don't know if i should call this ARTISTIC or ABUSIVE photography?

AD - Radiator Wet Suit

Hey! Scuba Divers,

Are they promoting unsafe sex or wet suits?

LOOK.... their tagline "Improve your flexibility" & copy "Not as thick. Just as warm. All the rubber you need." ....COOL

Aren't this is a new & brilliant way to sell the wet suit.... who won't stop to have a second look at the the nude ads?.. obviously this kind of ads will not appear in our country.

Overall, i think the best thing about this campaign is the photographer.... he must have enjoyed the shoot.... lucky man ;)

What this German pro did :

1) he trimmed the right side of the chin which was a bit squarish/crooked.

2) he reduced the size of pupil on the right eye (from viewers' perspective) so that both pupil is of the same size.

3) he added more lip to the right side of the upper lip so that left and right sides are more symmetrical & reduced the lower lip so that the upper & lower lips are more balanced.

Aren't the attention to detail is amazing?
