VIVAlife - Setelah tren benjolan di dahi dan gigi taring, ada lagi kebiasaan unik yang dimiliki oleh para remaja Jepang. Pantyfacenamanya. Celana dalam yang umumnya di pakai untuk melindungi bagian genital, kini digunakan untuk menutupi sebagian wajah.

Fashion unik ini berawal dari buku komik Superhero Hentai Kamen, seperti yang dilansir Rocketnews24. Ia adalah superhero seperti Kamen Rider, Ultraman dan Power Rangers. Hanya saja, Hentai Kamen akan mendapati kekuatan superhero saat dirinya menggunakan celana dalam di kepalanya.

Sebuah blog yang bernama Akiba juga merilis buku kumpulan foto-foto wanita muda Jepang dengan pakaian dalam di wajah. Rencananya, tren fashion nyeleneh juga akan dituangkan dalam sebuah film parodi superhero Hentai Kamen.
Bukan Jepang namanya kalau tidak membuat sensasi unik dan aneh. Di tahun 2012, kepala bagel atau benjol di dahi juga sempat menjadi trend di kalangan muda. Benjolan di jidat tidak didapatkan melalui memukulkan kepala ke dinding. Tetapi melalui suntikan berupa jarum infus yang berisi cairan larutan garam steril (saline).

Begitu juga dengan gigi taring. Tren yang disebut dengan Yaeba atau gigi ganda ini, banyak dilakukan oleh wanita Jepang untuk menonjolkan sisi manis senyuman. Yaeba dipercaya dapat membuat penampilan seorang wanita lebih muda dengan senyum yang tampak seperti deretan gigi anak-anak.

Laser Hair Removal - the best method of hair removal?
 by: Nigel green



Everybody wants to look and feel fantastic and to enjoy the confidence that brings. However, excessive body hair is a common problem effecting both men and women and varies from person to person. It can be unsightly, causing embarrassment and loss of confidence but removing it can be just as bad. Hair removal is often seen as a major inconvenience and a chore to say the least.

There are numerous ways of removing unwanted hair, however the relief is often short lived and just trying to decide on which method to use can be a headache in itself.

Shaving is probably the most commonly used method and does allow you to achieve something approaching smooth feeling skin. However, the re-growth is fast usually returning a day or two after shaving and shaving sensitive areas is also a problem for many people which can cause irritation, rashes and cuts. This is where the creams, foams and moisturisers come in and the cheap and cheerful way of removing hairs walks out the door.

Hair removal creams can be used on most areas of the face and body. The creams usually work within 10 minutes by dissolving the hair. Applying cream to large areas of the body can be tricky and messy and can cause irritation and even allergic reactions. The re-growth is also fairly quick and the hair can be back within a week, as like shaving, it removes hair from the surface of the skin and doesn�t tackle the �root� of the problem.

Waxing the unwanted hair gives a longer lasting result as the hair is basically pulled out whole. It is common not to notice any re-growth for around four weeks. Not long considering the pain waxing causes and the risk of ingrown hairs which can be irritating and cause infection.

However, there is one hair removal option available to everybody which gives permanent results!

Soprano XL

Laser hair removal is safe, quick and easy and with no mess, ingrown hairs or nasty nicks in sight!

Laser hair removal works by permanently damaging the hair follicle underneath the skin so the hair falls out and it is unable to grow back. Soprano XL can treat unwanted hair on all areas of the face and body. The treatment is both comfortable and painless and has even been likened to a hot stone massage. Who ever guessed that hair removal could be enjoyable?

Approximately six treatments are recommended for the body and eight for facial areas, usually with a space of six to eight weeks in between treatments. The best thing is that there are no side effects and results are noticeable after the first one to two treatments. After each treatment the hair will be noticeably thinner and finer than before until most of the hair is un-able to grow back. The costs start at approximately �50 per treatment and due to the small number of treatments needed to eliminate unwanted body hair the overall cost compared to a lifetime of shaving or waxing is considerably less.

LHR is becoming more and more popular by the minute. As the treatments are so comfortable with no mess and minimal effort from yourself, laser hair removal is the new lunch hour treat!

Indonesian Batik



Batik  is a cloth that is traditionally made using a manual wax-resist dyeing technique.
Javanese traditional batik, especially from Yogyakarta and Surakarta, has notable meanings rooted to the Javanese conceptualization of the universe. Traditional colours include indigo, dark brown, and white, which represent the three major Hindu Gods (Brahmā, Vishnu, and Śiva). This is related to the fact that natural dyes are most commonly available in indigo and brown. Certain patterns can only be worn by nobility; traditionally, wider stripes or wavy lines of greater width indicated higher rank. Consequently, during Javanese ceremonies, one could determine the royal lineage of a person by the cloth he or she was wearing.
Other regions of Indonesia have their own unique patterns that normally take themes from everyday lives, incorporating patterns such as flowers, nature, animals, folklore or people. The colours of pesisir batik, from the coastal cities of northern Java, is especially vibrant, and it absorbs influence from the Javanese, Arab, Chinese and Dutch cultures. In the colonial times pesisir batik was a favourite of the PeranakanChinese, Dutch and Eurasians.
UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on October 2, 2009. As part of the acknowledgment, UNESCO insisted that Indonesia preserve their heritage.

Dishdasha

                                       
The thawb/Dishdasha  is commonly worn by men in the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine and other Arab countries. It is normally made of cotton, but heavier materials such as sheep's wool can also be used, especially in colder climates in Iraq and Syria. The style of the thawb varies slightly among the various regions within the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. The sleeves and the collar can be stiffened to give a more formal appearance. Other names may be used for this garment. In Souraqia and Oman, dishdasha is the most common word for the garment; in the UAE, the word kandura is used. In Morocco, the sleeves tend to be much shorter so that the thawb may seem more like a long T-shirt and is locally called gandora. Also the neck tends to be more open than in its Saudi counterpart and is often embroidered as is the breast pocket. Also it might lack buttons altogether.
The term thawb is also used to refer to similar women's garments. The traditional Palestinian woman's long tunic is called thawb. Another example is a very long, over-sized woman's garment with a heavily embroidered front panel and billowing back, also known as a Khaleeji dress, which is most commonly seen in the West worn for performance of the Saudi women's social-style dances, in which manipulation of the large thawb is a key component.
This clothing is called Kanzu in Swahili, and is commonly worn in East Africa as well.

Perkembangan fashion di indonesia

Perkembangan fashion di indonesia


Peran Penting Yang Memegang Perkembangan Fashion Di Indonesia

            Dalam sejarah belakangan ini kita mendengar berita tentang fashion yang ada di negara kita. Dunia fashion di Indonesia bisa dikatakan berkembang pesat beberapa dekade terakhir. Hal ini didukung dari berbagai sisi, baik desainer lokal yang semakin potensial, tingkat perekonomian yang membaik, sampai sektor retel yang berkembang pesat.
        Pihak yang memegang peran penting dalam mempengaruhi fashion di Indonesia adalah APPMI (Asosiasi Perancang Pengusaha Mode Indonesia), yang beranggotakan perancang dan pengusaha yang bergerak di bidang mode Indonesia. Termasuk juga di dalamnya ada pihak-pihak yang bergerak dalam fashion retail dan ekspor. Mereka memiliki program tahunan yaitu FASHION TENDANCE yang di adakan sejak 1993 sampai sekarang, dimana mereka melakukan fashion show yang menampilkan prediksi trend fashion tahun mendatang dengan maksud memberi arahan komprehensif mengenai konsep rancangan terkini versi APPMI pada masyarakat luas. Mennurut Poppy Dharsono, selaku ketua umum dan pendiri APPMI, trend yang di tampilkan pada acara tersebut merupakan hasil kombinasi dari inspirasi fashion mancanegara terutama Eropa dan karakteristik masyarakat Indonesia. Menurutnya, acuan fashion yang paling di gemari adalah dari benua Eropa, seperti Paris dan Milan, karena desainnya yang sederhana dan klasik.
            Majunya teknologi dan arus informasi membuat masyarakat Indonesia lebih terbuka pada pengetahuan global. Tidak bisa dipungkiri lagi trend mode di Indonesia banyak dipengaruhi oleh budaya barat. Namun hal ini tidak membuat desainer-desainer Indonesia berkecil hati karena mereka di dukung oleh pers, stylist, retailer, marchandiser, dan fotografer, dimana semuanya bersinergi menyampaikan informasi sesuai bidangnya masing-masing. Walaupun gaya barat mendominasi, namun ada kalanya kerjasama mereka kembali memunculkan gaya khas Indonesia kembali ke permukaan. Informasi yang seimbang antara gaya barat dan lokal membuat konsumen Indonesia cerdas dalam memilih mana yang disukainya dan yang cocok baginya.
   Menurut Ellen, jenis fahion yang paling cepat perkembangannya adalah baju, karena baju lebih cepat pergantian modelnya dan baju merupakan item yang paling banyak dibeli oleh masyarakat di bandingkan dengan produk lainnya. Peringkat selanjutnya diikuti oleh tas, dan sepatu. Setiap orang tentunya memiliki pilihan baju lebih banyak di bandingkan tas dan sepatu.
            Dengan kata lain predikat jual baju lebih tinggi dari pada jual sepatudan jual tas atau aksesoris lainya.
