Wu Shu Clan Ain't Nothin to F*ck With..

Wushu. What exactly is it?

As defined by Wiki:


Wushu is both an exhibition and a full-contact sport derived from traditional Chinese martial arts. It was developed in China after 1949. The term wushu is Chinese for "martial arts" (武 "Wu" = military or martial, 术 "Shu" = art). In contemporary times, wushu has become an international sport,  with countries such as Indonesia, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon participating to name a few.

Competitive wushu is composed of two disciplines: taolu (套路; forms) and sanda (散打; sparring).

Though Mushu is a form of martial arts and can be used to defend oneself, I prefer to watch the choreographed fights. The women involved are fierce, exact in their movements, and make you daydream about being a highly trained Wushu fighter, minding your business alone and then HI YAH!!

The bad guys picked the wrong one to mess with and you had to show 'em a thing or two!!

Or maybe that's just me?

Wushu is not limited to women as men fight too, but this blog is about women so.. We'll let Maxim cover the guys.

The flexibility Wushu requires. The precision. The timing and attention to detail. Being even one second off could result in serious damage. They're using spears. Swords. Knives. Darts.

Girl fight? Yeah right.

These females fighting thunder totally kick ass! I was floored when I saw a few matches for the first time. Anyone who says a woman "fights like a girl" needs to get a good taste of Wushu to open their eyes.

After the swelling goes down, of course.

Lupita on Ellen.. Love her!

Lupita Nyong'o talks Star Wars:

Fun Facts:

- auditioned for Star Wars in the same week that she won her Oscar
- didn't know she was auditioning for Star Wars, just knew it was for J.J. and a "big movie"
- gave her a substitute script, not the real one.
- was told it was a motion-capture role and she was interested in it
- had to wear more than 125 dots each time she filmed
- couldn't take them off when eating so she had to eat them and have them put new ones on
- the dots capture her expression

Both of these women are awesome.

And playful :)

And Justice For All..

The Supreme Court would probably be more fair as well. #ruthginsburg

Heart Shaped Nipples.. The next big thing?

It seems that everyone has tattoos these days. They've become more popular than ever over the last 10 years. Some of the tattoos I've seen or rather, the places on the body I've seen them, has led me to ask (and others I'm sure),

What does this person do for a living? What does this person PLAN to do for a living?

I especially feel concern for younger adults with so many tattoos. Tatts on the face and neck.. do they realize they may be interviewing someday? How is one gonna run for president with the words "Only God Can Judge Me" permanently etched across their throat? Trends are great but trends that include permanent ink?

Not so sure.

I was pleasantly surprised when I came across a set of tattoos that I found not only intriguing but simply,

Pretty.

Another winning aspect is these particular tattoos are that they're (my favorite part yet) DISCREET.

Heart shaped nipple tattoos are fast growing in popularity. Even better, these tatts are not actually ON the nipple, thus eliminating the chance for nerve damage. The inkmaster merely matches ink closest to the color of your areola and tatts around the nipple, never actually touching the erogenous zone that areolas can be. I personally couldn't have anything altering my nips sensitivity.

They're one of my hot spots :)

I think these tatts are sexy, creative and extremely feminine. Anyone lucky enough to get a glimpse would be in for a pleasant treat.

What say you? Would you ever do this? I have one tattoo on my ankle of a butterfly. At the time, I felt like I had finally "blossomed" into a woman. Having only one tattoo, I can't say that I've caught on to the multiple tattoo craze. The heart shapes however? I just might do. Ooh la la..

One last point about nipple tattoos is that aside from vanity, many mastectomy patients have gotten nipple tattoos to replace the nipples they had removed.

Attractive and practical. Who knew?

-WTS.

You could also just outline your nipples..

 Other ideas..

 Even men are getting in on it..

The Incredible Make-Out Experiment

This video is definitely going to stir something inside you. I found myself physically squirming. And smiling. And curious. And nervous.

And that was just me being an observer. I can only fathom what I would've felt as a participant.

20 complete strangers were asked to kiss each other for the first time.

It was awkward.
It was weird.

It was..
In it's own way..

Lovely.

I wonder how the "kissers" of this experiment felt afterward? I wonder if it would have been easier for them if their participation hadn't been filmed?

Did they have sweaty palms beforehand? Memories of high school? What was going on in their lives that even attracted this experience?

Did they keep in touch?

Take a look and see what gets activated inside you.

If you feel nothing, you're a liar. :)

Different and strange, no?

I wouldn't advise kissing, but go out and be nice to stranger today. Smile at the unsuspecting. Be kind to that annoying as hell person complaining about the length of the breakfast line. Give that beggar the few pennies that he/she asks for.

Even if you think they're gonna use it on drugs.

It's Wednesday, a great day to make a positive difference in someone's life.

Muah!

Who Did It

TBT: When She Brags About Being A Prostitute..

From Wikipedia: Prostitution is the business or practice of engaging in sexual relations in exchange for payment or some other benefit. Prostitution is sometimes described as commercial sex.

This video is deeply disturbing. With so many women forced into prostitution, to hear women bragging about it really makes my heart ache. Most women in prostitution don't want to be there. It's not only dehumanizing, it's a form of modern day slavery. Field research in nine countries concluded that 60-75 percent of women in prostitution were raped, 70-95 percent were physically assaulted, and 68 percent met the criteria for post traumatic stress disorder in the same range as treatment-seeking combat veterans and victims of state-organized torture. Beyond this shocking abuse, the public health implications of prostitution are devastating and include a myriad of serious and fatal diseases, including HIV/AIDS.

A path-breaking, five-country academic study concluded that research on prostitution has overlooked "the burden of physical injuries and illnesses that women in the sex industry sustain from the violence inflicted on them, or from their significantly higher rates of hepatitis B, higher risks of cervical cancer, fertility complications, and psychological trauma."

State attempts to regulate prostitution by introducing medical check-ups or licenses don’t address the core problem: the routine abuse and violence that form the prostitution experience and brutally victimize those caught in its netherworld. Prostitution leaves women and children physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually devastated. Recovery takes years, even decades—often, the damage can never be undone.

Prostitution creates a safe haven for criminals. Worse, legalization of prostitution expands the market for commercial sex, opening markets for criminal enterprises and creating a safe haven for criminals who traffic people into prostitution. Organized crime networks do not register with the government, do not pay taxes, and do not protect prostitutes. Legalization simply makes it easier for them to blend in with a purportedly regulated sex sector and makes it more difficult for prosecutors to identify and punish those who are trafficking people.

With that being said, this video is deeply disturbing. These women seem to think that by prostituting themselves, they are somehow defeating the system. Little do they realize, they are victims of it.

We really need to do more to protect our girls worldwide. Selling your soul on purpose- LITERALLY- is not the best way to make money. It's certainly not empowering, and it perpetuates crimes against women. Estimates of the prevalence of incest among prostitutes range from 65% to 90%. "About 80% of women in prostitution have been the victim of a rape. It's hard to talk about this because..the experience of prostitution is just like rape. Prostitutes are raped, on the average, eight to ten times per year. They are the most raped class of women in the history of our planet. "

It's nothing to brag about ladies. When I saw this "video" my heart immediately dropped. Women are the crux of any society. Mottos like these truly leave the mind boggled and sad. What kind of community can grow from mentalities like these? You sell pussy and ain't gotta rap? If you loved yourself, you wouldn't have to "sell pussy" either.

10 Ways to REALLY Help Someone Who Has a New Baby

Being a parent is a challenging job. From start to finish, birth to college sendoff, a parent's duties never end. As kids get older it becomes a bit easier. Children are capable of being more independent, don't require as much attention or hands on care, etc. Newborns however, have no such independence. They need attention 24 hours a day, and this can be quite taxing. There are certain things only a mother can physically do for her child. For some of the other things, well, that's where friends can step in. 

When you ask a new mom, "Is there anything I can do to help?" she may not want to burden you with tasks. Listed below are some things you can do without her having to ask. These tasks also help the father. Both parents will be getting little to no sleep. They could both use a helping hand.

It takes a village to raise a child. Be part of the village. - WTS.

10 Ways to REALLY Help Someone Who Has a New Baby

1. Take their other kids somewhere.

Anywhere — just get them out of their house. It’s so much harder when you have to tend to a new baby and to your other kids. So take out her other children as often as you can!

2. Bring food.
And I mean food that comes in a disposable pan or food that you can dump in a crock pot. Do not bring anything that she’ll have to wash and worry about getting back to you. If you just don’t cook, bring paper plates and silverware… so if she’s forced to cook for herself, at least you’ll help her minimize how many dishes she has to clean up.

3. Fork over the money for a stranger to clean the house.

Best. Gift. Ever. But you have to pay for someone else to come clean their house, you can’t be the one to do it. There is no way in hell I’d feel comfortable watching a friend clean my house and sort my dirty laundry. Or put things away in my drawers. Who knows what they’d find! But I wouldn’t feel guilty lying around in my pajamas, nursing a new baby, while watching a stranger clean up my hot mess.

4. Watch their baby while they take a nap.

Before coming over, you have to say… I’m going to come over to watch your baby while you sleep. It doesn’t work if you just show up and say you’re going to do it, because then she’ll play the “oh-no-I’m-fine” game.

5. Recognize signs of postpartum depression.

Although it’s common for women to have “Baby Blues,” it can quickly turn into postpartum depression. If you begin to notice that a new mom does not really want to take care of herself or her baby, encourage her or her family to seek additional help. Be on the lookout for telltale signs that moms might need a little extra help.

6. Get them out of the house.

Sometimes both mom and baby just need to get out of the house. Find a way to encourage everyone to get some fresh air, even if it’s just to take a walk around the neighborhood.

7. Be extra attentive if their baby has any sort of issue.

I once watched a friend’s baby who had really bad reflux. After watching her all day, I thought, “There is no way her mom doesn’t need more help than she’s letting on.” Her baby was so much work! So if a baby has any other issue that makes him or her a little harder to handle, try to go out of your way to help — mom and dad may really need it!

8. Go to the grocery store for her.

Or watch her baby while she goes to the grocery store. I really enjoyed this after I had my baby. I spent two hours at the store once, and when I came home, my friend was like, “and you only came back with two things?!?” But it was so nice just walking around a familiar place with no one to feed or hold.

9. Make a sign for their door that says “Baby Sleeping.”

It never fails… you just put the baby to bed and FedEx or UPS or your neighbor comes over and rings your doorbell, waking up the baby. I always wanted to make a sign, but somehow, I never got around to it. I can’t count how many times I’ve given someone the evil eyeball for just ringing the doorbell. Somewhere out there, there’s a group of Girl Scouts that will never knock on my door again.

10. Always come with a package of diapers or wipes.

Let’s be honest — our kids don’t need more cute clothes! But you know they’re going to go through those diapers like they’re not $23 a box. A less expensive alternative? Bring wipes! You end up using them for everything from wiping a baby’s bottom to wiping up a spill in your car to wiping the makeup off your own hand when you’re in a hurry and can’t find your foundation brush. Always a useful gift!

David Letterman: 33 Years of Sexism with Female Guests..

Bye Dave. 

New Trend Alert: FREE BLEEDING

Let me just start this by saying NO fucking way. I'm all for the complete freedom of women, but this is messy, unsanitary, unhealthy, and disturbing. Not to mention this could become quite an expensive choice as clothes, furniture, underwear, beds, etc., become ruined. Blood may flow easily out of bodies, but it's hell to get out of fabrics. And suppose you have a disease? Your putting people in harms way could cause you to not only to infect others, but um..

Get sued by them. This is such a bad idea all round.

Who thought up this madness?

Some bored, over zealous college student probably.

Just No Ladies, NO.

Now for the story.

MODERN WOMAN DIGEST – A disturbing new trend is on the rise, thanks to extreme feminist bloggers and activists everywhere. The trend is something called “Free Bleeding,” in which a woman who is menstruating chooses to not use feminine products, in exchange for allowing her blood to flow “freely” out of her body, staining her clothing and running down her thighs to wherever it may end up.

The idea behind this movement is two different ideas. One, is that a woman’s time of the month should not be considered something unclean and unnatural, something to be hidden and cleaned up hastily before it has the chance to offend anyone who may become privy to the fact that said woman’s body is evacuating her loins of unused baby blood. The second, being that tampons, pads, and other feminine hygiene products are “man” made inventions, intended to inadvertently rape a woman during her period, thus furthering her victim status as a woman living in a world run by men. These two reasons combined, have produced the idea that women need to make a stand against the practice of wearing products which collect, absorb, and discard the menstrual flow. That by letting it run freely, is the way nature intended us to deal with our monthly.

For any normal woman, however, this idea is horrifying, and for equally as many reasons as the idea is spoken in favor of. If you’re like myself, a proud, intelligent, educated, and body-conscious woman of modern times, the reasons why this is a bad and ugly practice are quite apparent to you. But for those of you who are not blessed with the acute observational skills such as myself, I will gladly share my wisdom with you.

Firstly, this is not “how nature intended” us to deal with our menstrual discharge. If this was the case, nature would never have given us the enlightenment that we were to cover our bodies to begin with. Animals of lesser intelligence run around naked and without the use of proper tools to make their lives easier because they are just that, of lesser intelligence. Nature intended us to be vastly intelligent, and to use our intelligence to overcome our flaws. In our case, it has given us humans the advanced technological know-how to invent specific products to make our monthly easier to manage. Animals urinate, defecate, and bleed all over themselves and each other. We generally would like to think we’re above that kind of behavior. But not in the case of these Feminists, it would seem. 

Second, the female reproductive system is host to over 7000 types of bacteria, some of which are helpful to the system, but many of which are not. These bacteria work together to create the odor and excretions that the female genitalia has been notoriously known for. As women, we need all the extra help we can get to remain clean “down there." Without the help of the many feminine hygiene products that are now available to us, our special place could be an intolerable wasteland of unbearable odors, discharge, and build up. The fact that Feminists see no problem with adding blood and other types of monthly discharge to the mix is not only disgusting, but alarming and unhealthy.

You're urged to disregard and reject this new hardcore feminist trend, both for your own health and the health of those around you. If you happen to come in contact with a Feminist who tries to push this disgusting idea on you, throw a tampon at them and run away as fast as you can.

Women Take Drinks

How was my weekend? Well let's see. You want the full version or the parts I remember? With that being said, I'd say the weekend was a little too good. Went to an amazing party with some girlfriends. The bad news is how good the party was. Great music, attractive crowd, wonderful vibe. It was one of those nights. 

My girls and I were like..

There was a somewhat attractive guy who asked me if he could "take care of me for the night." 

What exactly does that entail?

We nicknamed him "Mr. Drinks" because that's what it entailed. It was as if he needed to get rid of money, because he bought countless women drinks at this soiree. Not only A DRINK, but for those who were still parched, he replenished their supplies unflinchingly. He was super-friendly. He smiled all night and never tried to get in my pants. No seriously. 

All that was missing was a top hat. He was a true gentleman. 

I danced, I laughed, I swayed and most important, I SLAYED. My new hot pink lipstick was a hit.

Mr. Drinks made mention all night of how much of a lady I was. "Elegant" he called me.

I wonder if he would still think so after reading a few entries of this blog..

After the whirlwind of fun, a friend Ubered us a cab that took us home. Once I got there I don't think I fell asleep. It felt more like sleep fell into me. I woke up to find a container of half-eaten mashed potatoes on the stove. How the hell did that get there? I felt like I must've slept-walk or something. My friend informed me that I'd bought them before going into my house, and from the greasy, ghetto chicken spot no less :/. It was news to me because I remembered none of it. Also in my kitchen was the bright green, fake-grass welcome mat that belongs to my new neighbor. That I remembered. In my highly drunken state, apparently I um.. 

Stole it. 

I was completely on auto-pilot, almost as if I was a different person.

A zombie.

I don't like being that intoxicated. I mean, what's the nutritional value of a drink anyway? My memory has always been impeccable. The fact that I can't remember things because of my drunkeness.. we're talking about my cerebellum here! Furthermore, the recovery period necessary the morning after is so unpleasant. It's all fun and games until someone steals a rug.

When I looked in the mirror after waking up, I think I understood the term "shit-faced" better than I ever had. I looked tired. Groggy. Haggard. And that hot pink lipstick was still very much hot pink. All other make-up had been washed off but not that pink. It was determined to stay. It took most of the day to fully get it off my lips. 

That's not hot.

One night.

Five drinks.

One very generous alcoholic beverage benefactor.

And an extremely tired, lethargic, hungover ME.  

I would much rather vodka became more of a memory, than a hobby.

Though my drink of choice is honey whiskey..

But still. 

The moral of the story is,

Sobriety awaits!

Incredibly Brilliant Wedding Ideas

I'm not sure if I'll ever get married, but if I do, I will have to employ some of these ideas. I never understood why people spend so much money on weddings. It lasts ONE DAY. Why spend the next few years paying it off? You can use the six-figures you'd pay for a complete wedding ceremony to purchase a home. I like extravagant things, but they have to make sense. An expensive pair of shoes yes. However, I will have and wear those shoes for years to come. For any practical budgetnistas like myself, these ideas not only make sense but are totally awesome. No bridezillas here.

2. A ring bearer who’s also a high-security agent.



3. An adorned reception bathroom.

The bathroom: underrated and overlooked. Meanwhile, your attention to detail will NOT go underrated and overlooked.

4. Overalls in lieu of a wedding dress.

5. DIY watercooler bar.

thehunt.com

6. Jenga guestbook.

Instead of a guestbook, have your guests write on Jenga pieces. Every time you play Jenga, you’ll be reminded of all the well wishes.

7. Your guests as videographer.

Instead of hiring a videographer, have your guests pass around flip cams and get it edited into a final video by Wedit.

8. Mimosa bar for a morning or brunch reception.

Pure delight.

9. Pamphlets making fun of your own wedding.

Derek and Alexa are probably two pretty cool people.
