Archie Andrews Weds Veronica Lodge?!

a601.600

I DIDN’T KNOW HE PICKED VERONICA OVER BETTY!!!  How did I not know that this huge event happened?  I can’t believe they’re actually finally making Archie choose one or the other.  I wanted Archie to be with Betty initially but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that Veronica is the best choice for him. 

Archie doesn’t deserve Betty.  Betty is such a nice, sweet, kind, loving person that she deserves someone that will love her back just as hard and worship the ground that she walks on.  Archie always made Betty help him with his homework, eat her baked goods, and basically used her, while treating Veronica like a princess.  Veronica isn’t as needy as Betty and will be able to handle the indecisive, irritating but lovable and well meaning boy that Archie is.  The fact that she’s rich should also help because Archie doesn’t really have any special talents other than being the cutest red headed freckled boy ever.  It’s a good thing that he picked Veronica and it’s a good thing that she isn’t needy or insecure.  After 68 years of sharing him with another woman, a woman like Betty would always have lived in fear that Archie would leave her (or worse, cheat on her) with the more glamorous and exotic Veronica.  Veronica on the other hand is so confident of herself that she would never dream of a man cheating on her, or leaving her, and even if Archie did she would always have Reggie!  If the media pressure got too high and the relationship crumbled, Betty would have been broken, whereas Veronica would likely still come out smelling of flowers so it’s a good thing that Betty was given the heartbreaking news now rather than losing him later.  At least she has the chance to move on now, at long last!

I can’t believe they actually made him decide.  Apparently, they’ve set the new set of comics 5 years later, so all three have graduated from Riverdale High (tragic, I know!) and Archie might actually have a real job.  While it would be nice to find out what kind of job Jughead and the rest of the gang would have and in general to find out what happens to some of the most famous high school students ever, it really pains me that they’ve to me, ended the story.  It’s not like Barbie where they’ve always had a storyline for her (you DO know that her and Ken broke up right?  They’re now divorced..after 43 years of plastic perfect marriage), the Archie comics have always been set in one time period.  They weren’t supposed to grow up (!!) they were supposed to run tabs at Pops and drink milkshakes and go to dances forever!  It’s like the end of childhood!  The major selling point of the comics for me was the fact that you never really knew which girl he would end up with.  SPOILER ALERT: It’s like in Gossip Girl (the book version not the tv show) where Nate sails off into the sunset without picking either Blair or Serena…some things are just better off left to the reader to decide.

I hope Betty finds someone that will treat her right and eventually I hope she’ll move on, although 68 years is a long time to love somebody ;)  The funny or not so funny thing is how I see this exact scenario mirrored in real life.  Too often is the girl who pines and worships her love overlooked when it comes down to the guy popping The Big Question.  Guys inevitably end up choosing the one girl who delivers excitement, the one that makes their heart race rather than beat comfortably, the one that treats them like crap but makes up for it with sweet kisses when they do something right.  I’m sick of girls like Betty who place their object of affection on a pedestal and ALLOW boys like Archie to have their cake and eat it too.  Betty’s of the world allow their Archie’s to eat up the lovely dinner they give them and then eat dessert elsewhere.  Yes, Veronica let Archie be with Betty as well, but she never bowed down and did things for Archie that didn’t require more effort than a swipe of a credit card.  Plus, she went on dates with Reggie at the same time, so it’s not like she was really ever on the losing end of the stick.  I mean, the fault is not with Archie, it would be with Betty.  Why wouldn’t a guy want the best of both worlds? 

Anyway, now that I’ve gotten over the shock of my favourite childhood love triangle cease to be a triangle anymore I just have one more thing to say:  Veronica Lodge, I really expected you to have a better wedding dress!  What the hey is that?…If they were all gung ho on the being real and ruining the fantasy world they were living in thing they could have at least put some more thought into her wedding dress.  Even Heidi’s (The Hills) dress was nicer.

Love, today.. Love Aaj Kal

love-aaj-kal-movie-poster
This movie was great.  It really was all about love in today’s times.  Have you ever watched DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge)?  Have you ever thought that it was a little unrealistic because that would never really happen in today’s day and age?  I mean, which guy would you meet on a train ride across Europe that would fall in love with you during those few weeks.. fall in love so hard that he would follow you to India in order to break up your pre-arranged marriage?  It’s just not possible or realistic.  Love Aaj Kal is a love story for today’s generation as it deals with practicality and is actually realistic (not including the unbelievable gorgeousness of the couple and the random worker from a coffee shop that helps another random stranger with his love story and also not including the crazy song and dance sequences).  Other than that though, it deals with a big dilemma that many couples and singles have today– Career vs. Love.
Would you choose love over career or vice versa?  Do you have to choose?  What if you did and you thought that just because you have to choose means that this isn’t your true love?  Do you even believe in one true love or do you just think that eventually, people get over it, and time heals all wounds?
I think time does heal most wounds but sometimes people mistake time for like.. false love.. what I mean is.. someone may fall in love with someone and then heals that wound over time but thinks that that person wasn’t a true love because of the fact that they got over it!…when really.. it was time.
Continue later.  Tullered.

RUMOUR HAS IT

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY POSTED PICTURES NOR AM I SAYING THAT ANY OF THE FEATURED CELEBRITIES HAVE GOTTEN MEDICAL PROCEDURES. EVERYTHING WRITTEN IS SPECULATION BY THE OWNER OF THIS BLOG.
********************************************************************************
So below are a bunch of pics I got off sites like www.plasticdesis.com and others.. these young lads and ladies are rumoured to have undergone plastic surgery. It’s pretty hard to tell because pictures are often photoshopped as it is but here they are.. make your own decision! I think they were all beautiful before and after!!!!!!!
aishwarya-dhoom pretty-aishwarya aishwarya-nokia Apparently The Most Beautiful Woman in the World Aishwarya Rai had her smile fixed - dental work and lately she’s been rumoured to have had botox injections but regardless, that doesn’t really count because she’s like 30 something now and her features have been the same it’s more a matter of general upkeep! I heart her.
My biggest heartbreak was when I found out that most of the South American pageant queens have had extensive plastic surgery(actually most contestants in general but I always found the South American ones some of the prettiest in the pageant so it was a bigger heartbreak for me). All big time beauty pageants have plastic surgeons on board, and as winning the crown (Miss Universe for example) is considered a huge, huge honour for many countries and competition is fierce… plastic surgery is highly recommended, if not necessary for the entrants.
Now, I’m not one of those jealous girls who say “that chick is so ugly without makeup” or “that girl is only pretty because of plastic surgery”. I strongly believe that most girls need to have a good base in order for their surgery to be successful. It is usually the minor tweaks that get the best results, so a good base is essential. I don’t think girls need plastic surgery at all but it’s definitely a personal choice. One one hand you can look at the girl who got plastic surgery and say “wow, you are so vain to care so much about your appearance that you would have surgery!” OR you could say “wow, you clearly aren’t vain at all because to further your career you didn’t even mind changing your face and having surgery.”. Most girls get surgery because they are told that it will further their career - as a model, as an actress, as a news anchor, etc. If I was told that the only thing holding me back from being the next (female) Anderson Cooper was a nose job, I think I would do it (get the nose job). I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn’t take that opportunity for myself and for my family. What’s in your appearance anyway, I’d still be me! Of course it sucks that I wouldn’t be accepted the way I am (hypothetically speaking) and of course it would suck to look in the mirror everyday and not see the REAL me, because I love the way I am now, but I think I would rather accomplish my dreams and be happy.. because I would totally, totally love to have his job, than be so vain as to not take up an opportunity because I was letting my love for my appearance colour my dreams. I know it’s all a little backwards but I think I gave a good scenario so hopefully you understand. You see, the problem isn’t that a girl would choose to do plastic surgery to further her career, the problem is that getting plastic surgery actually does further that person’s career!
Let’s check out some celebrities who are RUMOURED to have had plastic surgery.
90061352nc1 95270695mt9
Zac Efron for one..He LOOKS like he’s had the bridge of his nose narrowed and more defined and the tip of his nose narrowed as well. The rest of him looks about the same… I’m sure the bronzer is helping to define his cheekbones and make his face look chiselled and part of it is probably just puberty! Would he be as big of a star if he remained the guy on the left? Probably not! Maybe for 12 year olds the sweet dude on the left was ok, but Zac has now definitely broadened his appeal to include ladies (and men) of all ages.

Heidi Montag from the Hills is strongly, strongly rumoured to have had a nose job and I would say she’s admitted to it but I’m too lazy to search for a reliable source so let’s just let the pictures do the talking. . ok well in my opinion.. she looks cute before, and her old nose was fine..
ashlee9pl
AshleeNose
One of my favourites.. Ashley Simpson! Her nose job was confirmed by her father Joe Simpson who claimed that she got the nose job to help with her breathing. Right, that’s what they all say. Looks to me like she had her chin shaved down a little as well but no reports on that as of yet. Why is this one one of my favourites? Simple, it’s because she went from looking like Ashley Simpson, to looking like a regular, cookie cutter Barbie doll run of the mill blonde girl from California. Sure, she’s hotter now, but it’s really such a pity.
tyra-banks-makemeheal-tyra-banks-nose-job
tyra55
tyranosevsnose110907
Now Tyra Banks …one of my favourite models of all time (!!!) is also rumoured to have had a nose job. She’s proven that her boobs are real (God bless her!) but has never talked about the rumoured nose job. Sometimes it looks like a case of clever makeup, but sometimes it’s like whoa nose job. Who knows, or should I say who nose?
camilla-belle-nose-job-thumb-450x341
Camilla Belle.. this chick is a total hottie and completely underrated in the hotness department. If it is a nose job it’s nicely done. The original shape is pretty much maintained, it looks like she’s done something that is very popular nowadays in the plastic surgery world and that is just getting a smaller version of your nose to make it look more natural. That being said the tip of her nose looks a little narrower than in the before picture. Gorgeous before and after but the tan definitely helps this woman out.
giselle_bundchen
Gisele Bundchen or Gisele Bundchen Brady whatever her name is now… let’s JUST talk about the noses for all the Victoria Secret models shall we ‘cause otherwise we’ll be here forever! The bridge of her nose looks narrower, the overall look more streamlined, all bumps appear to be removed. Would she have been as famous as she is now if she currently looked like the girl in the bottom left picture? I think so! End result – so freaking hot.

Miss World Priyanka Chopra. Besides an obvious change in her makeup and the addition of coloured contact lenses (*lame because she wears them all the time and supposedly even has eye problems now because of it!*) her nose looks much, much smaller. She used to have a rather bulbous tip that was slightly off center and that looks fixed now as well as the bridge of the nose (narrower).
scarlett-johansson-nose-job
Hollywood A-lister Scarlett Johansson also is rumoured to have had a nose job and to me it really looks like she’s had some cheek implants or fillers to give her face a bit more contour and definition. The tip of her nose looks to be about the same, it wasn’t a bad nose to begin with, but yea..smoothened and narrower bridge.
katrina-kaif-004 katrina-kaif-20 (this pic looks like a mirror image of the one below, you can tell by the eyebrow/nose. The nose is slanted to the left in the pic above and to the right in the pic below but in both the nose is slanted to the brow that is less arched and lower).
Katrina-Kaif-torments-in-pi
katrina-kaif-110a1 Voila.
I don’t know to say about Katrina Kaif She just looks different to me now, I don’t know what it is. Her jaw looks narrower, more feminine and a little bit more defined than in the before pictures. Her nose has lost the slant and has more definition in the tip which helps a GREAT deal. Not much else to say on her.. Camilla Belle and her kind of look alike. Both are cute :)
gossip-girl-blake-lively-nose-job
Blake Lively I was shocked at this one really. I thought she was naturally this pretty but the pictures seem to point to something other than natural beauty. The “new” nose looks shorter, doesn’t droop downwards, is straighter and free of bumps and has a very defined bridge and tip which was lacking in the previous pictures. In all other aspects as well she’s def been given the A list makeover imo.. various laser and chemical peels and treatments for the skin and some awesome makeup. Her hair always looks super gorgeous – I suspect extensions. Other than that she looks natural, am glad I don’t see a fish pout on her.

Who is she you ask? Minissha Lamba. Ok, I guess that didn’t clear up much.. she’s an actress albeit not a very famous one. She looks less “Indian” and a lot sexier (the two – looking less Indian and looking sexier are not related at all just two separate facts that I happened to notice) in the bottom right picture but she looks cuter and more human/less alien in the top right. Pictures courtesy of a site called plasticdesis.com

Rani Mukherjee, everyone’s favourite husky voiced, talented actress. She had a pretty awesome nose before but it appears narrower and more generic now. I think it makes the rest of her face look wider…her cheeks look quite big compared to her nose in the bottom right picture. Once you mess with one thing it changes the proportions and look of everything else. Lucky for her she has big eyes and big lips so it saves her proportions a little bit. She can act so I love her.. and her eyes are just amazing.. goodness.

Shilpa Shetty. Obvious. Old nose job where they basically gave you a generic “perfect” nose without caring what your face shape was like. I think it’s too pinched. She’s still cute in the top left pic.

I CANNOT BELIEVEEEEEEEE THE FIRST PIC OF HER!!! LOL WOW! Sridevi Sridevi Sridevi.. I had no idea you looked like that! Thank God for surgeons? She looks beautiful in the after pictures.

Kareena Kapoor. She’s pretty dang gorgeous without makeup. Like, stunning! Anyway, I would say – nose job and jaw surgery. I think her jaw looks completely different, it’s so defined and angular now whereas before it didn’t have that strong L shape, more of a U. Re: her nose…the tip of the nose is the biggest difference. Everything else looks ok/pretty much the samemegan-fox-nose-job-300x256
Megan Fox-SGS-016400
Megan Fox. What a babe. Rumoured to have had an injectable filler popped in her nose to get rid of the bump. Don’t know what else she’s rumoured to have had but…quite a few I’m guessing to go from 12 year old to the world’s hottest woman.
preity_zinta_2 preity_zinta_side1
Preity Zinta !!!!!!!! Absolutely adore her, she’s such a sweetheart! Her nose looks different for sure, narrower and more defined (the usual) . She’s been rumoured to have eye surgery and a brown surgery before the shooting of Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (KANK)
