I came across a post on Jezebel (yes I stalk Jezebel, lets move on) anyway, I came across this post about Anorexia groups popping up left and right on Facebook. It didn’t surprise me since these “pro-ana” groups can be found almost everywhere online: Youtube, Myspace, and some even have their own domains. Just as easily as you can find a support group to help you quit smoking or a community for collecting comic books, you can find groups dedicated to eating disorders; and quite frankly it’s disturbing.

Gifted One is my new audio crush, people. Started in 2007, the group is comprised of dancer/choreographer D-Low , who has choreographed stars such as NANA, and w-inds. TRAK STA, producer extrordinaire and singer/songwriter Ippei Takahashi. =)

I would describe their sound as maybe Funky-Soul. Ippei’s vocals are so fresh and crisp and over the beats produced by Trak Sta, it sounds LOVELY DAHLINGS! Then to top it off, you’ve got some fly choreography by D-low, and all is well. My favorite songs from them would have to be “Before It’s Too Late”, “Ocean Blue” and “Just A Friend”. What’s even more great in my opinion, is live, they sound just as great, if not better than the recording. Peep this clip of the guys performing “Before It’s Too Late” and “Just A Friend”

Awesome right? Yeah, I know.

If you like what you’re hearing, I recommend heading over to their myspace to hear some more of their stuff, and add them =)

Who says good makeup has to cost an arm and a leg?! As a self-proclaimed lip gloss addict, I can tell you that makeup in general is one of my favorite things about being a girl. However, I don’t like having to put a tube of lip gloss or an eyeshadow on layaway. That’s why I love NYX Cosmetics. It’s like getting MAC quality make-up for a fraction of the price plus I don’t have to put up with the too-busy-doing-my-own-makeup-to-help-you makeup artists/sales people and those hot ass vanity lights.
