Recently I’ve been modeling for photography shoots – and enjoying every second of it. I’ve always liked modeling but given my petite stature and all (plus I used to be a little chubby, I THINK ) I’ve never really considered any forms of modeling until recently. But anyway, I’m so glad I did! Everything deserves a tryin’ to know if it’s really your cup of tea. For myself as a newbie, I think I did a decent job because I’ve been signed up for group shoots! But yeah, I do have lots to learn, what’s more it’s my joy and passion to get engaged in them!

I’m hoping to join this contest together with my current photographer – it’ll be so so cool and if that happens, I’ve already chosen a dress to wear!

TA-DA!

One Shoulder Chiffon Printed Dress by Faviana – from Dress Sense

I super <3 this dress and hope that I can wear it for the Ion contest shoot! Look how gorgeous the colours are and the intricate designs of this unique number, screaming “PERSONALITY”!!!

Anyway, I’ve been trying to lose weight for modeling assignments because in any forms of modeling, there’s really no space for extra fat ANYWHERE because you’re shot in all angles right? Slim contours always wins the game unless the theme is “Meat Loaf”. HAHAHA!

I think it’s working a little because I feel lighter and more toned – so let me share my diet and exercise routine!

DIET

made a conscious effort to cut down on carbohydrates
smaller meal proportions
more frequent meals
oats replacing rice/noodles and other high sugar or fat content meals
more fruits and juices
I can’t remember the last time I had chocolate or ice cream or candy
more salmon sashimi?
earlier meals, especially dinner
plan your meals so that you don’t overeat

EXERICSE

brisk walking for at least 1/2 hr a session, twice or thrice a week
lifting light weights at home
dance practice at home
photography modeling sessions – posing, practicing
I tried jogging but it doesnt work so well if you want a slimming of your silhouette because it only makes your legs more muscular! Anyway, I dislike jogging because it’s too monotonous and boring!

Here’re some music videos that I always turn to when I need inspiration for dance moves or those which really get my heart pumping and motivated to exercise when I’m too lazy to shift my ass off the couch. ENJOY!

The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.

Adv: Love More!

28Jan 2011

By MelissaJane

I got more sponsored items from thesamplestore – this time Love More masks! mad love these masks because they’re so good for my skin, so pretty in their packaging and I’m besotted with the Taiwanese actress-ambassador, Tiffany Hsu Wei-ning! She currently appears on Channel U at 10pm for Autumn’s Concerto, alongside Vanness Wu.

The other endorser is Kary Ng, a pop rock singer in Hong Kong. She had made references to her nickname “Lady K” in the album titles “Lady K Live” and “Lady K: Transformation“.

Kary Ng

Here’re some background information on LOVE MORE

It has imported ingredients from Japan, Australia, Brazil, France, Swiss & Scotland to ensure your skin receives beneficial ingredients from around the world.
One of the Best Selling Mask Brand in Taiwan
6 types of masks with specific skincare benefits
3 different 3D masks

Here’re 3 different types of masks I received!

White crystal & Platinum Peptide Whitening Duo Lifting Mask (Japan 3D Stretch Duo Lifting Mask)

Brazil White Crystal & Platinum

Description: The latest “turn back time lifting mask” fits your face and neck perfectly! It fights against gravity, and lift up the skin at your neck, mouth area, cheek, eye area. White crystal and platinum peptide has effective whitening effect. After 20mins with the mask, it is just like you did a SPA massaging session emerging with a smaller and fairer skin.

Effect:
- Lifting
- Whitening
- Smooth and lustre skin

Personal Review: As it promises – you really get the face lifting effect, whitening and smoothing of your skin. The effect is more beautiful and you achieve skin like that of a pampered princess! It has a sweet refreshing smell and when the mask is on your face, you just can’t get enough of it because of its comfortable and snug fit around facial and neck contours. Absolutely amazing mask sheet! I heart LOVE MORE!

Camellia & Tourmaline Whitening Mask

Description: Combining 3D mask with the best whitening ingredients and tourmaline, the benefits of the mask is released to every inch of your skin! Use it for 15mins daily and your skin will be fair like a princess!

Effect:
- Whitening
- Brightening
- Soft and Supple

My favourite: Diamond Super White Mask!

Description: Combining small molecules of diamond and rose tourmaline allows the whitening ability of the mask to penetrate deeply into the skin. Herba Saussureae Involucratae and m-Tranexamic Acid improves the skin’s ability to regenerate and removes dead cells. The skin will not only be fair but also be tightened and moisturized!

Effect:
- Lustrous and Radiant skin
- Whitening
- Supple feel

Personal Review: I feel like a princess putting this mask on my face! I love it to bits because of the great sweet, refreshing smell and I could almost feel the mask working its magic on my skin! The texture of the mask sheet is smooth and soothing, with a wonderful cooling effect! Of course, the best part is upon removal of the mask, you see your skin brightening up immediately – with smaller pores, tighter skin and a more supple feel. Awesome!

Ugly (but compulsory) picture of me wearing the mask! See how the mask sheet fits perfectly over the face, with additional “flaps” at the bottom to pamper the skin on your neck as well. The neck area is often neglected but it needs all the nutrients and moisturizing too! The first signs of ageing also includes this sensitive neck area.

I am a happy girl with my masks! <3 so excited camwhoring with my Mac’s Photo Booth that I started experimenting with nerd glasses, hairbands and stuff.

Burlesque. Louboutin.

26Jan 2011

By MelissaJane

I’m gonna come.

That’s how I felt watching Burlesque in the theatre last week. I love every freaking second of that movie, Christina Arguilera’s performance, powerful vocals, spine-thrilling dance routines, gorgeous cast, that hot, sexy lad Jack and mind-boggling wardrobe. Costume designer Michael Kaplan used looks from Lanvin, Dolce & Gabbana, Rick Owens, Bebe and Guess. Have I mentioned that Christian Louboutin heels that Arguilera wore nearly made tremble in my seat?

It was such a pleasant surprise my eyeballs were still safely in their sockets after the film ended because I remember that I couldn’t stop staring – open-mouthed, for that matter, at the screen. The costumes were spectacular, plot was predictable but completely enjoyable and had a perfect score for entertainment value.

Music – what do you think? It’s Burlesque AND Christina Arguilera’s vocals

I could totally understand Ali’s passion, excitement and love for performing as I am a dancer myself, love posing (I’m not shy to admit), adores attention and I feel the music and spirit in my veins, blood, whatever.

Can you believe it I nearly teared when Ali strutted her stuff for the first time – when Tess announced for the curtains to be raised when Nikki pulled that wicked deed on her. And Ali Rose got that big break.

Nobody knows you could do it. Until you decide to show the world what you’re made of

- Melissa Jane

I can’t forget Kristen Bell too, who’s another beautiful lead that nearly “turned lesbian” filming Burlesque. Why am I not surprised?

“I have never felt so much good female energy around me. I find that I can’t take my eyes off them. I’m 99 percent sure I will leave this movie a lesbian.” – Kristen Bell

I would do anything to watch that scene again -laughs-

How much will is there in someone is apparent, and needless to be mentioned.

It’s like a calling, and you know what exactly you want.

Among the massive crowds, you can still be a star. Even if you’re small (in physique) like Ali.

You may be unstoppable.

Christina Aguilera as Ali Rose in Burlesque (2010)

In her mind, she isn’t small, or insignificant.

“Been holding down for quite some time and finally the moment’s right
I love to make the people stare
They know I got that certain savoir-faire”

It’s a passion, and emotion, it’s a fashion, Burlesque
It’ll move, goin’ through you, so do what I do, Burlesque
All ladies come put your grown up, boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It’s Burlesque.

***

This is that gorgeous pair of Louboutin’s that Arguilera wore in the film! Only 5″2, but she exudes all the star power she has, especially in this 5.5″ beauty.

This is perhaps the closest you can get to that dream pair – Louboutin’s Margot (150mm or 6″)

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be dreaming of it until I get it one day – at a whopping US$ 2, 495.

Here’re more Louboutins that scream out my name (if my gfs ever see them)

Ambertina 150mm

Brandaplato 140mm

Pigalili 120mm

That’s all from me now, gonna watch Burlesque again, I swear.

Angela.Baby.

24Jan 2011

By MelissaJane

She’s not the newest model or celebrity around but every time I chance upon her pictures on the net I can’t stop scrolling through more and more pictures of her perfect face and beautiful body. To me she isn’t just another pretty face but a face I can’t forget that’s why I’m dedicating a post to her right now! Call it luck, destiny or pure plastic surgery, she has succeeded in capturing my heart and seducing me to inject her into my “Book of Beauties”. I’m such a fan girl that I once put her as my desktop wallpaper!~ I’m such a beauty whore. Beautiful things are my weaknesses -

I’m vice-free. The only vices I have are my ♥ for shoes and beautiful things

OK, so what’s the secret to that perfect face? The fact that it looks so PROPORTIONATE. Small face (doesn’t ever go wrong), huge doe eyes, SHARP NOSE, cherry lips. Highlight’s always the eyes that capture souls.

Yeah, I mean, there must have been a lot of help she got from makeup, surgery and lots and lots of luck to become who she is today – Angelababy’s career began when she was spotted by Style International Inc. at the age of 17 and entered the modeling industry that year (2007). She then featured as a dancer in Jay Chou’s 《07-08世界巡迴演唱會香港站》concert in Hong Kong.

Since her shot to fame after a photo shoot with Janice Man, her original asking price of HK$1,000 has risen as quickly as her popularity. She now charges $30,000 to appear at shopping mall events.

1000000000000000000000000000000000000

One of her more natural looks? Still so pretty <3

But did she look like this before her surgeries?

Does it really matter? Seriously I’m considering it myself – botox? rhinoplasty? enlarge my eyes? If it makes me happier. Maybe!

I’ll perhaps just end this post of pretty memories of her (how superficial but definitely choosing to look on the bright side )

Like a G6.

22Jan 2011

By MelissaJane

Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard
When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard
Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6
Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6
Like a G6, Like a G6
Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6
