There has been much criticism of Drake's videos in the past. I'm sure this one will be no different. However, I, for one, love it.
The song, as with most Kanye productions, is great. I'm definitely a fan of Drake's brand of melodious hip-hop. I can appreciate his push to always keep things creative and new. He's telling a story with a "to be continued..." at the end...albeit one that is sure to have a predictable twist. Guess we'll have to wait for the "sequel."

Beyonce's over-the-top tribute to 50s glamour and Pin-Up girl glitz mixed with sky-high platform shoes in her new "Why Don't You Love Me" video are the latest variation on her long-running leotard theme. But I love it! Here are some pointers on getting the look from this video.

Pin-up Girl Makeup -

The key to this makeup is a heavy brow, a bold lip, and lots and lots of winged eyeliner!
I know many of you are dying to try these trends, just be sure to do it responsibly. You don't want to appear to be in costume!

Random Rant: Who does that???

Lately, I have been noticing a trend for guys to just say the most retarded things to women when approaching them, presumably in hopes of making a connection. Guys, this may seem like common sense, but it's generally NOT acceptable to begin a conversation with a woman by insulting her.
One day, I happened to have this happen to me twice within the span of about 10 minutes. Which makes me wonder if it happens to other people too. Here's one example of what I mean.
One night, I happened to get off from my evening job a little earlier than usual and decided to go check out one of my friends who was having a birthday celebration at one of the local hotspots. I was trying to locate them in the crowd so I walked around searching a bit. I decide to try the top level and look down over the balcony for a better view. I walk up next to a guy standing by the railing. It appears he is working up the nerve to say something.
Sure enough, a minute later he says, "Hey what's up?"
I say, "Hello."
He continues, "Hey um, you work a bunch of jobs or something?"
Thinking that he is particularly intuitive, I respond, "Well, yes. I work 2 jobs...why do you ask?"
He responds by pointing to his eyes and drawing circles under them with his fingers saying, "Well you look really tired, right in this area." (still pointing...)
I stand there for a minute, slightly offended, but more annoyed. I wonder, when he stood there and thought up that romantic little comment, what did he expect my response to be? "Yea, you know you're right, do you have some eye cream??"...seriously. Even if it were true that I was looking particularly worn out, who points that out as an ice-breaker?
All I can manage to say in response is, "Wow."
Then, to my utter astonishment, he follows up with, "Yea so you wanna dance?"
There is, of course, only one thing I can say in return..."You know, I don't think so...I'm too tired."
--WHO DOES THAT??
