AppId is over the quota
by Rebecca Stokes 19 hours ago
The world of fashion is cutthroat, competitive, and very much focused on the outside instead of the inside. This is true even where younger models are concerned. They learn very early on that in order to do what they love, they will have to develop a thick skin. It's a lesson taught by designers and by the big clothing companies whether the models are ready to learn it or not.
Wet Seal is stepping away from the pack and making a change for good. They recently hired aspiring model 17-year-old Karrie Brown to be the face of their new campaign. On the surface, Karrie sounds like just another model. A very tall, pretty girl, who describes her personal style as being that of a "biker chick." But Karrie is different than most commercial models in one way. She has Down syndrome.
Karrie's dreams of modeling came true, after Wet Seal saw photos of her on a fan page created by her mother. Karrie's photos quickly gained a lot of positive feedback. Overnight her pics had more than 10,000 likes! Wet Seal noticed and asked her to come model for them.
Karrie's beauty, style, and amazing energy make her a natural. Her ability in front of the camera should have other more close-minded companies (I'm looking at you, Abercrombie) re-evaluating how they pick the faces that represent their brand. Karrie's an amazing example of what true beauty looks like.
Do you think other stores should follow Wet Seal's lead?

It's football season once more. You know what that means. No, no, I'm not talking about your Fantasy Football League gearing up again.

Only three episodes remain in Breaking Bad, and the upcoming "Ozymandias" is reportedly show creator Vince Gilligan's favorite episode of the entire series. AMC released exactly NO new footage in the promo for this Sunday's show, choosing instead to include more footage from the cliffhanger stand-off in last week's episode, narrated by a voicemail message left for Walt by Skyler.

I wish that all of these studies linking cancer and alcohol consumption had come out when I was in college. Not that I necessarily would have put down my wine cooler and read them. But, one can always imagine, right? Still, it seems like every time you turn around now, someone is telling you how bad drinking is for you. Can't we go back to that time when 
All right Glee fans, it's time to geek out. We know a lot of you were uber bummed when it was announced that Mercedes, AKA actress Amber Riley, was leaving the halls of McKinley High for bigger and better things, hence leaving the show.
