Go Naked!

Since Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian went nude and unretouched last two weeks, many Hollywood celebrities are now joining the hype by exposing their imperfections to the public.

(Photos taken from Huffingtonpost.com, I worship its iPhone apps daily before going to bed)

Britney is proud of her imperfection and all, a source said and apparently these unretouched & unphotoshopped photos are released "to highlight the pressure exerted on women to look perfect."

On the other hand, Kim Kardashian also urged young girls not to overstress on their weights and start embracing their curvy bodies.

Sounds divinely well interpreted...

But one second...

Aren't all these so-called unretouched pictures are still heavily rely on makeup, lighting, soft lenses or anything that could make these stars look as prefect as possible before photoshopped?

Even if the stars revealed their non-makeup pictures, they still have plastic surgery or botox or etc etc etc running underneath their skin. Look at Heidi Montag, she doesn't need any touch-up at all cause she got all the work done before hand.

So perhaps the real definition of unretouched photos does not exist in Hollywood or even in blogoshpere. We are too into perfection, perfect weight, perfect hair color, perfect makeup, perfect dress and the list goes 763028438 pages long.

I do agree with Britney & Kim, we should embrace our true selves (although their 100% unretouched pictures do not seem persuasive to me).

To demonstrate real support, I'm gonna join the march by revealing two of my 100% unretouched photos taken this morning as soon as I brushed my teeth, and yup, with hives some more :p

Wearing the funny schoolteacher glasses and my fave CK and Nike lounge wear with no makeup, no hairdo, no nothing. This is the "original" Bev that Chean sees E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y ^_____^

I love both the after-makeup & non-makeup Bev equally well cause they are both myself, just a different version.

It's just like the comp software that you're using, aren't you need to upgrade it from time to time? I'm just adore positive changes, period.

Final thought of the day: you can always say NO to makeup, but you can never say NO to skincare. That's what I think all the girls should really pay attention to. Love yourself by loving your skin first. ❤❤




Beverliciously yours,
Bev

Get Carried Away

It hits me again... Every time watching the most-loved SATC drama series or movie.

A typical reaction would be pointing at the screen and shout excitingly: "I used to S.H.O.P there! Ohh, I've been there! Ohhh, look, remember? We took the subway at this subway station while we were heading to the...."

Nothing seems unfamiliar and shameless to say, I'm so belong to the Big Apple!!! Unfortunately reality doesn't come close with our fantasies most of the time.

Portland is good enough though and I think I can't be too demanding. At least Portland is a sales-tax-free state, I'm sure God puts me here for some reasons :p

Now get ready for the ultimate awesomeness!
SATC 2 ❤❤



So going to watch this movie! But it won't release until 28th of May this year. Patient... It worth the wait I guarantee you.

Another coolest thing about the trailer is that you can steal Carrie's snazzy look before the movie launched ❤❤





Heart Carrie's V-neck white Halston Heritage dress that costs US$ 325 at Neiman Marcus and her Mykita & Bernhard Willhelm limited edition shades that cost US$ 525.

** Heart Attack **

Ok, I don't wanna do all the price checks anymore, I know I can never afford that at this point of my lamest and never-ended student life, don't wanna bring myself down early in the morning.

Start hunting for something that won't cost us a bomb yet able to translate Carrie's style beautifully (if you have too much money and really have no idea what to shop)!!!

Remember, gold and white makes the prefect match for this S.P.R.I.N.G!

Happy Shopping~~

Juicy Oscar

As you aware, the 80th Academy Awards was over and the results are out. I stayed at home witnessing this glorious moment yesterday. I'm sure my neighbor hear me shout out loud when the presenter announcing the best supporting actor.


Give it up to Javier Bardem everybody.


Despite his remarkable hair style in No Country For Old Man, he is my favorite actor.

Adding some juicy info about this fabulous man, he is currently dating with Penelope Cruz (Tom Cruise ex or ex ex lover).


However, they declared they are just FRIEND.


Okay, we trust you.

AHHHHHHHH~~
Here I shout again!
For the best picture of the year, No Country For Old Man.


This movie deserves it! Bravo~~

Buddies, this movie should sound familiar to you if you stick around Beverly's Secret all these while. I post it on January, Hot Picks.

AHHHHHHHH~~
Don't dare to miss my post again!!!
(my throat hurt very badly honestly)

Hot Picks

Sorry for the lack of blogging recently!! Frankly speaking, I’m getting busier now. As you know, I just get back from Seattle (although it was just 3 hours drive from Portland) after new year. Then, I got to summarize the whole trip for you and in the mean time stick on my study table for Toefl test on 18.

ARGH…damn stress!!

So, watching great movie is another way to relief my tension. These are 2 high-rated movies in States now!! I guesstimate it wont show in Malaysia. Wanna know why? Scroll down for these trailers! (click on the movie title for complete movies info)

No Country For Old Man



I might said it’s a terror, violent, extreme, and yet the best film of the year. Director and actors are utterly brilliant; I’ve voted it 5 stars! You will lose your breath and heartbeats in theater.

Sweeney Todd



If you like Jack Sparrow, you’ll love this for sure!! Jonny Depp casts on this!
As for sure, a great actor like him always plays his character well and with a sense of humor although it’s a horror movie. The ending was really overwhelmed and unexpected! What a sad love story indeed. My heart was broken at the ending.

Gonna stick my butt to study again!!
Enjoy buddies…I shall return!!

It’s show time

As an ex-broadcaster student and super duper ex-performer, I’m very crazy over movies, dramas and TV shows. All sort of performances, Broadway or theater, they are my all time favorite. After pressing remote control for more than 100 times in State, I’ve found my fave TV shows here! Hooray~~

Tila tequila – A shot at love
This reality show showed on MTV channel in State. The storyline is about a 26 years old bisexual Vietnamese girl (I thought she is Japanese) searching for her true love. She invited 16 males and females to stay in her house and these guests were going to give out everything to win her heart. But, only one of them will have a shot at love with her, Tila.


Impossible? Unbelievable? But it so true!! She has angel smile and devil body. Charming, sexy, gorgeous, petite but bisexual. Hard to accept, isn’t it? I was shocked as you as well when I realize the whole scenario. Although I’m not able to follow this show from day one, I’m still able to catch several episodes and the finale. In the last episode, there’s only one boy and one girl left.


Before telling you the outcome, I must say the finale was like a roller coaster to me.
Ok, during the show, I feel that Dani is the best candidate for Tila. Yup, I did. Because she loves Tila more than herself. And love is for love sake, right? It doesn’t matter with a guy or girl. But at the same time, I do agree homosexual is immoral and everyone should get rid of it. Argh, that’s the power of media! What a great dilemma! Bobby? Ohh, he is good, he is shy, cute, genuine but just another typical guy for me. One must not deny, he loves Tila too (but not as much as Dani).

Eventually, Tila picked to have a shot at love with Bobby. Hmm…I’m speechless. Anway, it’s just an entertainment show.

The Girl Next Door
I love it since I was in NY last year. This show is all about Hugh Hefner and his 3 lovely housemates, which are Holly, Bridget and Kendra. They practice luxurious lifestyle, high scales status and of course intimate love (ermm, I doubt of it actually).


Among 3 of them, I like Holly the most although she is the eldest. For me, she is elegant, feminine and classic. More importantly, she loves Hugh Hefner a lot. As for Bridget, she is a young, sweet and pinky too. Haha…she supposes to be my favorite since I’m a pink slave. However, she is a little chubby and too baby for me. And, Kendra is very energetic, cool and sporty. Therefore, she is out too. Three of them have different characteristic and lifestyle but sharing a same man.(Opps, 3 of them have very hot body too!)

Who is Hugh Hefner? I’m sorry, I miss him out. Ok, you might not know his name, but I’m sure you know his magazine very well and some of you even have its collection. He is the founder of Playboy magazine, an extremely loaded 80 years old granddaddy.


Haha~~ Guys, don’t be mad! This is the reality. Money is not the root of evil sometimes. Again, my advice to you is don’t take it too heavy; it’s just another entertainment show.

Wants more sexy pictures? Oh gosh, you can always google them! Basically, I don’t allow 18SX photos appear on my blog except my own one (don’t expect either, I have none).

Coming up next:
Have you heard of Kripsy Kreme? Wondering what is that? Stay tuned and figure it out on this Sat (22/12).
