Tickling with cheap flattery
PUBLIC POST ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Tickling with cheap flattery By Wesley Pruden Barack Obama may not be the Big Thinker his fans think he is, but his big-time groveling is impressive. We've never seen a presidential performance quite like his Groveling, Toadying and Apple-Polishing Tour of the Olde Countries. If this is Monday, this must be a mosque.Flattery
"Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt of, not swallowed."
Josh Billings, US Humorist
Glamorous, Fashionable or Stylish: Which one are you?
It has always amazed me how important some people deem clothes, shoes, accessories and alike. I myself have a penchant for long winter coats (sounds crazy I know, but I love them).
I have never however considered myself Fashionable or Glamorous, but I would like to think I have my own unique style and therefore am somewhat stylish.
But are these terms as distinct as they once were.
imitation = flattery
I started a new group yesterday. It's called "Looks Inspired By Celebrity" and it's main point is that imitation is the highest form of flattery.
I've noticed that many LookBook Fashionistas use celebrity style to influence their looks.
HA! Check it out!
Even Sephora is mining atox's awesome how-to's for their Get Their Look tutorials! Sure, theirs is a little darker, but when I was flipping through the Sephora catalog and saw this, the first thing I thought of was Atox's how to!! P.S.The highest form of flattery?
About two years ago, a young couple bought the house across the street from me and my husband. The wife didn't work and I work from home, so she and I would often have lunch together. She and I never became extremely close, but we were friendly and would spend time together just due to our proximity.Scorpio
Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. They are like the volcano not far under the surface of a calm sea, it may burst into eruption at any moment.Leo
The Leo type is the most dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of all the zodiacal characters. In grandeur of manner, splendor of bearing and magnanimity of personality, they are the monarch's among humans as the lion is king of beasts. They are ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong willed, positive, independent, self-confident there is no such a word as doubt in their vocabularies, and they are self-controlled.From anger to madness: A class-warfare crazed government mob is running amok

I was wrong to call members of Congress blow-hards and buffoons and declare them worse than useless.Stop thief: Copycat Beyoncé and all the images she's stolen down the years
As her alter ego, Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé is strong, bold and fearless. But not, it seems, entirely unique.
On closer inspection, it appears the singer has borrowed much of her style from other stars.
