YAEBA TEETH

Assalamualaikum peeps,

In many Western countries, crooked teeth are seen as imperfections and most people consider a straight set of pearly whites ideal. The story is slightly different in Japan, where “yaeba,” or snaggletooth, are considered cute with some men finding the imperfect smile they form endearingly childlike and attractive. “Yaeba” literally means “multilayered” or “double” tooth, and describes the fanged look achieved when molars crowd the canines and push them forward. It’s not a serious dental deformity, but it’s certainly enough to get you picked on at school in some countries. “‘Yaeba’ give girls an impish cuteness.“It’s a sense of beauty unique to the Japanese, but ‘yaeba’ can be an attractive feature on women in their teens and twenties. It’s costing between £130 - £340 for each tooth.

EYE JEWELRY

Assalamualaikum peeps,

When I am doing research on my topic, I have some interesting topic that surprised me. Did you ever heard about eye jewelry? Can you imagine, people nowadays choose pain for the beauty and look unique in front of people.

Eye jewelry is a new technique which allows small studs from precious metals to be inserted into the eye. Can you think this is serious fashion being done on the eye itself and this is insane idea? Though it may sound scary, Dr Chynn insists the procedure, which was invented by a Dutch eye surgeon and introduced in 2004, is actually pretty safe. To start the process he injected anesthetic into her eye to numb the area. Then he made a small incision to make room for the piece of jewelry.

MEGGINGS

Meggings is initially the introduction of leggings in female fashion world and now this trend is famous and extended for the males too. Megging is like skinny jeans.  But the different between megging with skinny jeans is megging is more comfortable. Printed meggings are very popular among the dancers, choreographers, fashion designers and many more such cool professionals.

It is 6 to 24 hour will swell distortion of the forehead created by a saline drip and often shaped to resemble a bagel or doughnut. In 2012, after appearing on a National Geographic TV special, this practice became the subject of sensationalism as news outlets worldwide misleadingly declared it a "Japan trend" and fashion. For some Japanese (teenagers and adult) being a "bagel head" is, indeed, currently in vogue in Tokyo.

In National Geography Channel (23 September) involves injecting about 13.5 ounces (400 milliliters) of saline into a person's forehead to form a huge welt, then pressing a thumb into the welt to create an indent. The process takes two hours, and the trendy swelling goes down in under a day.

EYES TATTOOS

Assalamualaikum peeps,

Did you ever know about eye tattoos? Commonly we heard tattoos at body. But nowadays, eye tattoos become fashion among teenagers and adult especially in Canada. Corneal tattooing is the practice of tattooing the cornea of the human eye. Reasons for this practice include improvement of cosmetic appearance and the improvement of sight.

As we all know many people have gone blind from doing this tattoo. The procedure of doing eye tattoo is difficult and complicated.  

Through daily mail, a Brazilian man claims he 'cried ink for two days' after getting his eyeballs tattooed to make them darker. He shared his experienced with daily mail. The irreversible procedure involved using a syringe to inject ink into the sclera the protective outer layer of his eyes. The ink used to inject his eye is believed to be the same used for tattoos on the rest of the body.

For those free hair people (women and men), hairstyles are very important.  Have good hairstyles are important because it can enhance personality and beauty, matching face cutting and suit your hair type. Hairstyles can show our personality through appearance.

Certain culture, they have their own styles towards their hair because of tradition like Africa. They had symbolic hairstyles because of tribal traditions. Hairstyles in Africa and among African Americans are ever-changing, yet deeply rooted in a shared past. Hairdressing in Africa is always the work of trusted friends or relatives. In addition to the amiable social aspects of the event, the hair, in the hands of an enemy, could become an ingredient in the production of a dangerous charm or "medicine" that would injure the owner. Ask almost any black woman and she will probably tell you that her relationship with her hair is similar to a love affair. (Kwekudee, 2012,Trip down memory lane)

INTRODUCTION

Assalamualaikum dearies.

It’s a pleasure to me when you guys visit my blog.

First of all, I would like to introduce myself. (Just simple ice breaking)  My name is Alin Bazilah Hassim from Kolej Profesional Mara Indera Mahkota. This blog is one of my assessments for this semester in Digital and Mobile Communication. The themes given are unique things/ personality/ creature/ place/ creation/ culture in the world. So I decided to share about the unique of fashion. The purpose I choose this topic because:

•             To let people be less judge mental towards fashion that they see by their eyes.

•             To gain knowledge about different culture different fashion they have.

•             To create a creative scenery around the country.

•             To let people respects people fashion.

•             To let people know fashion is no boundaries and no wrong.

I believe that God created on this world have their own uniqueness. Same goes to the fashion. Every country in this world, have their own identity through their culture showing their uniqueness in fashion. Every people have their own style in fashion.

What you guys think when people ask you about fashion. Cloth? Handbag?  Or what?

From Oxford Dictionary, UNIQUE means particularly remarkable, special, or unusual meanwhile FASHION means a popular or the latest style of clothing, hair, decoration, or behaviour.

·         “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”

― Oscar Wilde
