Waif

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fashion

In fashion and related popular culture, the term "waif" is commonly used to describe an incredibly thin person, usually a woman.
"The waif look" was used in the 1960s to describe thin, large-eyed models such as Twiggy and Dorothee Bis.The "gamine" look of the 1950s, associated with actresses like Audrey Hepburn (who starved as a teenager during the Dutch famine of 1944), Leslie Caron and Jean Seberg, was, to some extent, a precursor.
The term "waif" was seemingly ubiquitous in the 1990s, with heroin chic fashion and models like Kate Moss and Jaime King on the runways and in advertisements. Actresses like Ally McBeal star Calista Flockhart, Winona Ryder, recently the British actress Keira Knightley and singer Celine Dion have all been pinned with the term.
Although the heroin chic look has gone out of fashion, it still holds some popularity in Hollywood. For example, Wonderbra model Eva Herzigova was criticized over her waif-like figure. Daily Mirror columnist Sue Carroll wrote:

The supermodel, looking like a throwback to the 'heroin chic' era of waif-like undernourished models, was an X-ray of her old self, skeletally thin with greasy hair, blue lips, a cold sore and sunken eyes.

Watching your bright blue eyes
In the freeze frame
I've seen them so many times
I feel like I must be your best friend
You're looking fine,so fine,oh my,
Dressed up like a lovely day
Babyface,Babyface
Slow down child,let me untie your lace
Babyface,Babyface
Cover girl with natural grace
How could beauty be so kind
To an ordinary guy?
Coming home late at night
To turn you on
Checking out every frame
I got slow motion on my side
Turning around and around
With the sound and colour
Under my control
Round and around,going down
Dressed up like a lovely day
Babyface,Babyface
Tin foil hair all tied up in lace
Babyface,Babyface
Bitter sweet girl won't you give me a taste
How could beauty be so kind
To an ordinary guy?
Do do do do do do do do do do...do do...
Do do do do do do do do do do...do do...
Babyface,Babyface,slow down child,
Let me untie your lace
Babyface,Babyface,
Open that door
Let me unpack my case
Babyface,Babyface,
You're everywhere child
You're all over taht place
Babyface,Babyface,
You're coming to me from outerspace
How could beuty be so kind
To an ordinary guy?

Back in Black

I just recently bought a pair of black jeans from Forever 21. :) I'm really, really excited. I can't believe I didn't own a single pair of black jeans. Its crazy. Have I mentioned that Forever 21 is one of my favorite stores? Sigh. Love that place. Where do you love to shop? :)

I also really like American Eagle Jeans. :) Yay! Did you notice that Bella in New Moon got her jeans from American Eagle? I can't remember what scene it was...but I do remember getting really excited in the movie theater because I recognized the brand from the design on the butt pocket. Fun Jean Fact of the Day, I guess. Idk.

Anway, I love these ladies who definately know how to rock the adorable black jeans. So cute. :)

Make It or Break It was on Monday! Yay! :) I love this show. Maybe its because when I was in third grade I was convinced that I was going to be an Olympic Gymnast. Well...that obviously never happened. :) Oh, well I can live vicariously through these girls.

I love watching gymnastics during the summer Olympics. I think, quite possibly, its my favorite event. :)

And when will Ten Things I Hate About You  be back on? I really liked that show. :) And the movie is super good too! Bianca kind of reminds me of my sister. In a good way! :) You know I love you Ki!

Bye! I have to get my things ready for tomorrow. Ugh. School. :/
