The city of ink

Me and my Gal (@ms_Dani) took a day off, to pursue a carreer as Amsterdam tour Guides LOL.
The time was not on our side so we weren't able to show Melvin Todd, off the famous "the City of Ink crew", all the nice places in our city. Hey, you know what they say: " Time always fly by, when you're having fun ".

Unfortunately, we weren't able to take beautifull pictures of the day. So, y'all have to take my word for it.
It keeps dazzling me, how little i know about my own city.

All the time Melvin was "wauwing" about Amsterdam, i was joining him most of the time.
The "tour" contained a healthy dose of art ( pop-up art by an artist who's name i don't remember anymore :(), we walked by a few monuments, ate pizza and pasta at the famous Vapiano's and most important: enjoyed the lovely weather, Amsterdam gave us! ( Melvin, you where lucky)

p.s. next time Daan and I will get a Loveless tattoo!
#painislove

dubble p.s. Daan should get paid for being a tour guide. She knows Amsterdam like .. i can't even explain #loveyou

Cruelty VS Justification?

While we're enjoying our last "summer" days long side a delicious detoxing drink (pro-green lol) and having fun with our close friends and relatives; on the other side of the world, there's some serious cruelty going on.

Not only do I believe in justice, i actually live it.
I see myself, having my own lawfirm, defending the victims and helping the world to become a "better place" to live in. However, what we as "public" have seen happening the last few weeks, made me question the justice-system.

#TroyDavis has been executed last week, after being inprisoned for over 20 years.
To make a long story short. There wasn't enough evidence to go through with the execution, but the state of Georgia insisted to go on with the execution and denied the clemency at the last moment.
The inspiring last words of Troy " you can take my body, but you can't take my spirit" & "the fight hasn't start with me and will not end without me" , made me realise that we lived a moment of history.

To think that such a blurry and sloppy way of "handling business" wont occure, another execution was planned.
#ManuelValle has also been executed, yesterday after a two hours delay. Realise that this man has been inprisoned for an embarrasing 33 years!

Both of these man where executed for the "same crime" (killing a police officer) and they both got a lethal injection!

As i was saying earlier. I believe in justice but this is a primitive way of punishing someone.
Besides the primitive way of punishment, i feel that both local authorities failed in there duties and just repudiate all responsibilities. Being locked up for 20 to 33 years and after that still being executed as beyond cruel. Notifying that evidence is key.. If there is a big question mark, hangin "above" the evidence, then why are we punishing?

I'm deeply in shock of this and i hope that we will keep protesting around the world to stop these cruel ways of punishments.
Let this be an eye-opener for the governments. "The world is watching you"

Movie review

 My Top 9

1. Columbiana

that movie kept me exciting the whole way through!

2. Friends with benefits

funny as hell.. Eye opener though!

3. Crazy, stupid love

this was a funny movie a lil bit cliche, but cliche endings can be nice somethimes!

4. Cowboys and aliens

don't know why the hell i choose to go see this movie, but it was an pleasant surprise!

5. Horrible bosses

Don't we all have " horrible bosses" sometimes? Funny @ss hell!

6. Tropa de Elite

Very sad moral.. but it brings you back to reality!

7.Conan

It's a wrong ranking, because the movie is good. I just prefer comedy's more than action or bloody story's

8. Shark night

This was a BAD movie! pls don't go!

Dare to kiss

As the foggy winter awaiths us, fashion gives us a free pass to keep the summer feeling going.
Bold and edgy colours for the lips is what it's all about this fall/winter.

I've seen a lot - as how i call it- Caribbean colours like: orange, pink and purple but also a lot of Vampy colours such as dark brown, dark purple, red and even black.
What stays my favorite are the nude lips. Luckely for  me, that also stays a fashion mark!

I'm a huge lipgloss- and stick addict so it wont come as a surprise if i tell you that i have all these colours ( and more hihihi)..

Now, for those who never wore edgy colours on the lips:
Make sure your lips are dry. Not to dry or else your lips will get flakes and that's a "no no"
Create a shape for your lips by using a lippencil. After that, fill in between the created shape.
Who said you could'nt have "catwalk" lips.
Tip for more edgyness: use another colour lippencil then the lipstick.. When it blends together, it creates a explosive effect..

Soon a "tutorial" in the how to...

In love with PING

Picture this:
You're having a girls night out and decide to "jump" into the nightlife.
The music is loud and the alchohol is richely poured.
The lbd's are fitted and boys are watching every sexy move you make.
Being sexy and all this handsome fellah aproaches you and starts a nice conversation. If the conversation nears the end and he asks you for your pin instead of your phone number; scream hell no or run out of the club LOL.

The social media has a huge impact on our daily lifes.
That means that our lovelifes are unnoticed influenced by it to.

Now don't get me wrong. A smart phone is a excellent gadget to get to know somebody without spending extra money on your bill or being scared to call for the first time. You can aproach someone much easier and getting to know someone with your blackberry- or Iphone messenger gives it an extra dimension.
However, eventually that first phone call has to be made and risks has to be taken.. That's what love is all about.

The disadvantages of having a smartphone is the highly expectations you'll create of one and other. You would probably expect that handsome guy to "text" you more often, because you're so "easily" to approach. Or you would keep on playing that "cat/ mouse" game by not "texting" him first.

Remember: guys do NOT play by these selfmade rules. Eventually you will be OR disapointed in the guy (without him even knowing), disgust by him because he's not answering quickly enough or reads what you're saying but not answering at all, etc, etc..
This will erase the actual fun you can have with a smartphone and he's probably a click away of being deleted.

Is this a story you can relate to? Then please stop now and keep the fun alive..
You don't want that cutey to disappear, now don't you?!

High heels and popcorn

This movie is the highlight of the moment!

Zoe Saldana, a beautifull black woman who delivered a great job in Avatar is up for it AGAIN!

She kills her way true the movie..
If there's a happy ending? See for yourselves!!!

The premiere is at the Pathe, in Amsterdam South-East and I am officially trilled to see her play in this movie.

The day of a thousand cultures

The local authority of Amsterdam invented, as what they call it, the day of a thousand cultures.
This is an event that is every year where people can enjoy different types of music, dance, theatre and sports.
The organisation of this event wanted to try out something new: the fashion lounge.

I'm so proud to announce that my bestie, Ashlee Janelle, kicked ass in that lounge ( sorry for my french lol)
She is the founder of the workshop "Styled by you"
A very unique workshop where offcourse your style is the main focus. But not only that, Ashlee Janelle also teaches you different "chapters" in the (styling) fashion world, wich can come in handy for the future.

The icing on the cake is an -self styled fashion show-by the contestants of the workshop. They worked hard and WAUW-ed everybody.
