Some of the best costumes I’ve ever seen…are painted directly on the body.The World Body Painting Festival is the biggest annual event of the body painting culture and community. Here are highlights of the first South Korean Body Painting Competition (held in 2008).
“It took the artist 12 hours to paint the SoBe scales on each skinsuit,” Greene said of make-up artist Joanne Gair. “But it was totally worth it. It’s an experience I’ll never forget. “We did two photo shoots, one on the beach and one in a secluded jungle-like setting and it was incredible,” she added. “It was nice to get away and spend time in such a gorgeous place for a few days. “In the eye-popping promo shots and video circling the Web, Greene frolics on the sand and strikes a sultry pose in the Turks and Caicos islands promoting Cherimoya Punch and Strawberry Dragonfruit drinks.
Fortunately, her vigorous shooting schedule for the ” Twilight” sequels – including the upcoming “Eclipse” – have kept the actress in shape. “We had a lot of action and fight training,” she said. “So it really toned up my body for these pictures. “Greene’s sexy photo shoot will be featured in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which hits newsstands on February 10.
On the other hand the funny man joins the helm of DoSomething. org’s Teens for Jeans Campaign, which kicks off its third annual campaign on January 19. Greene and Long’s PSA hit the Internet today, and Tonic spoke to DoSomething.org about the unlikely pair they chose to lead this year’s “pants drive:”
“We chose Ashley and Justin because we knew that teens loved them both. Ashley attended our Power of Youth Event in LA last summer and mentioned that she wanted to get involved — she really cares about teens. The hilarious thing about this unlikely duo is that they’ve met before — back when Justin Long was ‘punk’d,’ Ashley Greene was an actor on the show and part of the setup. They were both so easy to work with — very professional and genuinely cared about making a fabulous PSA.” Check out the exclusive behind-the-scenes candids of the stars shooting the video.
The comedian and the babe make quite a compelling case in the video, but it’s the facts that can’t be ignored. “One in three homeless people in America are under the age of 18,” Greene announces in the PSA. “I got involved with this campaign because it is so important that no teen goes this winter without warm clothes,” added Long, in a DoSomething.org release.
The solution, however, is easy, thanks to Teens for Jeans and Aeropostale. Simply bring in a pair of gently worn jeans to any Aeropostale store between January 19 and February 14, and Aeropostale and DoSomething.org will make sure that they are donated to one of 600 local youth shelters that have been selected as partners for the campaign. In return for donations, Aeropostale will give a 25 percent discount on a new denim purchase. Donors can also enter to win autographed jeans from celebrities like Shia LaBeouf, Chris Pine, Penn Badgley, Dakota Fanning and Taylor Swift.
DoSomething.org tells Tonic, “This campaign has been incredibly successful from the start. In the first year we collected 125,000 pairs of jeans and last year, we topped 200,000. We’re hoping that, especially in this economic climate, we can match that success and give hundreds of thousands of teens the jeans that they need this winter.” If you have any gently worn jeans, head over to Aeropostale to donate them to a worthy cause starting January 19 to help Teens for Jeans reach its goal.
What are you going to wear?
You want to impress him. To see that look of appreciation in his eyes when you meet for your date. At the same time, you don't want to look desperate. Now what do you wear?
First, where are you going for this date. He might want it to be a surprise, but you don't want to show up in that gorgeous chiffon gown, wearing your ultra high heel sandals only to have him whisk you away to some romantic campsite for a nature hike.
Then again, you don't want to show up in your sexily torn jeans and gorgeous but too casual t-shirt and a pair of practical sneakers, only to have you lead you into a fine restaurant with a strict dress code.
To avoid embarassing situations like these, ask him up front. Formal or casual? Are we going outdoors? Base what you wear on his answers.
If he say you can just wear whatever you like, play it safe in a little black dress (short enough to allow freedom of movement) but go easy on the shoes. Wear a favourite pair you've already broken into which can take lots of walking, in any possible terrain he might bring you through. This is not the time to go shoe shopping. Hobbling around in your gorgeous but yet to be broken into new shoes wouldn't leave a good impression.
Next, you want to look your best, your sexiest without looking like you tried too hard. No two men have identical tastes. The fact that he asked you out means he already finds you attractive. Don't sweat it out. Be yourself. Relax. Wear what you are comfortable in, but a tad sexier. Show a little more skin. Most importantly, pick an outfit that realy flatters your figure type. Pick a new dress or outfit that suits your figure type and wow him when you show up in it.
Finally comes your fragrance. Scent evokes a reaction from the most primal part of your mind. Choose your fragrance based on what works for you, not what the hero in your favourite movie might comment. Heard about product placement. In some scenes, the hero might sniff a certain heavily advertised perfume on the heroine and say how much he likes it.I wonder how much the movie makers are paid for product placement ads like that. Also, what smells wonderful on your best friend might not work on you. Pick what suits you.
