You'd think that in the United States we have more of a problem of women wanting to look tan year round than white and pale. But many women actually crave the vampirish pale complexion, and because not all of them are born with it, some turn to whitening/lightening creams.

The Era of Disco is perhaps best defined by the dance-centric movie "Saturday Night Fever," starring a young and slim John Travolta. The movie was full of decadence in the form of big afros, big bellbottoms and ever bigger diva egos, but Travolta stood out on his mad dance skills alone.

The queen of these Vocaloid characters is Hatsune Miku, who has become something of a cosplay darling since her software caught on. This video will show you how to make her cosplay replicas of her iconic headphones.

Makeup done for photograph purposes requires a bit of extra effort.
Granny squares are not in fact grannies who can't think out of the box. When it comes to knitting, granny squares is the terminology for a knit square project. They're termed "granny" because they look old and soft and remind us of that stereotypical image of an old cat lady knitting in her home.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow loves to cook and eat. Shocking, we know, given that she's probably half the size of most of us. Then again, it may be that she maintains her streamlined form by exercising three hours a day (which she does, in order to eat what she wants).

We love this hair tutorial because it teaches you how to create the equivalent of a cinnamon bun on the side of your head. A Dutch braid is basically a braid that you swirl around and around itself in order to form a circular shape. While doing this on both sides of your head would be a little much (we're not going for Princess Leia here), opting for just a single Dutch braid on one side.

Now, you will mix this together until it becomes a dough and immediately form it ...

Using his fingers to help mold the tall form, Leach skillfully applies a lower rim and then adds a criss cross pattern by slapping a textured mold onto the pot's side.
Cake decorators adore gumpaste because it can not only be formed in just about any imaginable shape out there, but also because it hardens to a consistency that can easily hold these shapes. Take this intricate, Cinderella-inspired high heeled slipper, for instance. Perfectly shaped and sturdy, it would serve well for topping a vanilla buttercream cake or red velvet cupcakes.

Big hair and big egos combined to form women who refused to go anywhere without a full face of makeup and whom never had a single hair out of place.

The world will never forget Michael Jackson's death. True, dude did get freaky as he got older (we're not one to judge what "normal" is, but the turning white thing and the head-scratching dillemma of the disappearing nose were, well, freaky), but he also made a lot of contributions to pop music and to style.
Christmastime means loads of fun outdoor activities in the snow: Making snow angels, rolling balls of snow to form snowmen, peeing our names in the snow (oh wait, maybe that's just us). Anyways, snowmen are a classic Christmas icon and are a blast to make.
