PostHeaderIcon Prejean drops her Miss California Crown





The 22 year-old Miss California who is battered and reviled because her opinion doesn’t jibe with that of some contest officials doesn’t really feel so bad being stripped of a crown. Ms. Carrie Prejean is probably more beautiful than the California beauty title. The fiesty lady, ever more popular, gracefully faced the media to explain why she lost her title---more as an offshoot of standing up for what she believes in.

A victim of a political firestorm that is not of her own making, Prejean lost in the Miss USA 2009 contest for asserting that marriage is between and a man and a woman. This angered gays and lesbians who campaign to legalize same-sex union in California.

Fortunately for the young beauty queen, most citizens of her state support her views and even the Pres. Barack Obama agrees. The pretty lady, a supporter of Proposition 8 which bans gay marriage, bravely advices women to stand against harassment. She said they must not be intimidated to stand up for truth and what they believe in.

Defending the side of Prejean, the California State Supreme Court recently ruled against the legalization of same sex unions in the Golden State. (Photo Credit: NewsYahoo.com; maCalifornia) =0=

PostHeaderIcon Looking into the eyes of Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy



"Take back the beauty and wit you bestow upon me; leave me my own mediocrity of agreeableness and genius, but leave me also my sincerity, my constancy, and my plain dealing; 'tis all I have to recommend me to the esteem either of others or myself."---Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. English Aristocrat and Writer (1689 – 1762)

Many have been written about the beauty, kindness, and power of these two ladies---US First Lady Michelle Obama and France's First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Both pensive and introspective, they are shown gracing the commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the D-Day military assault by World War II heroes in Normandy at Colleville-sur-Mer cemetery on June 6, 2009.

PostHeaderIcon Michele Obama's beauty secret

The only US First Lady who seeks the services of a full-time make-up artist in her travels, Michele Obama seems to be gaining the dividends of looking good.

Criticized for her shrewd and angry looks, Michele, according to observers looks kinder on and off the cameras.

“Mrs Obama drew criticism on the campaign trail for looking "angry" following fiery comments that were interpreted as unpatriotic.

Some critics even warned that her perceived anger would cost her husband the election. But a few deft flicks of the tweezers later, Mrs Obama's eyebrows had been trained into a gentler arc, giving her a friendlier appearance - a move style watchers have attributed to Mrs Grimes-Miles
