I'm seriously falling for these boys hard. I hope their music is good. :D Their a capella was very nice~

I have always been curious about the 'beach spray' type hair products for creating scrunchy wavyish hair, does anyone have experience with it? I usually use Iso Bouncy Creme for scrunching after I wash and I just let my hair dry (except the bangs, I blow dry and put some wax in the ends to seperate them). I wonder if the beachy stuff would work better, sometimes I worry that my hair looks too straight/flat. Here is a few pictures under the cut, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance! <3

I have a nasty little break out on the back of my head, just above the nape of my neck. Its a little cluster of very painfull bumps that I think are pimples but I can't see.I'm hoping its just from stress because I've been using the same shampoo for years.

If it is acne, how can I treat it. If it all?
If its not, what could it be and if I have my mom or someone look at it for me what would they be looking for?

Thanks so much!

On Wednesday night, POLYSICS announced that member Kayo (synthesizer, vocoder, vocals) will be leaving the band next year. She has been part of the group since 1998.

According to her comments that accompanied the announcement, Kayo indicated that she first began thinking about leaving several years ago. She initially joined POLYSICS after being invited by leader Hayashi, but over time, she wondered, "If I wasn't a member of POLYSICS, what kind of person would I be? If I wasn't a musician, what kind of person would I be?" It seems that she hopes to try living a normal life, leading to her decision to break off from the band.

News just broke out about Super Junior's Hangeng contract termination lawsuit making fans extremely worried. Fortunately, some exciting news came yesterday as Super Dome announced that Super Show II in Taipei has fixed 3PM Feb. 21st, 2010 for an additional performance. The tickets will start selling on Dec. 27th.

Moved by more than 3000 messages left by fans hoping for another performance, the organizers and those on the Korean side reached an agreement to add another performance. Rock Area tickets will start selling at 10AM on Dec. 27th on Super Dome's website. They will only be available for advance purchase by Dome members. Seating Area tickets will not be limited to members. Similarly, starting at 1PM on the 27th, on the eraTicket system, DuanDian (端點) and Fami Port will simultaneously start selling tickets.

As for whether Hangeng will come to next year's Taipei performance in February, Super Dome said, "Besides participating in this performance, we have already expressed to the Korean side that we hope the remaining 12 Super Junior members** can all come. We will continue to monitor the situation."

On the 21st, Hangeng requested for a contract termination through the Korean court causing Korea's idol factory, SM, to receive another blow following the TVXQ lawsuit. This has caused much heated discussion amongst media and netizens. Some felt it the managing company was wronged since, in order to train such a popular idol group, they had to enormous amount of funds in advance -- that many company investments are not seen by outsiders; Others advise that it is time for SM to face the discontent of those under the company.

I know you guys are all over the Hankyung-SJ-SME controversy now. A little of this might cheer you up. (I hope so) ^^



And oh good lord, they said 12. Kangin's back!!!

Hangeng throws a bomb, requests for contract termination with SM

he shocking news of a member leaving the popular Korean group Super Junior arrives just before their Asian performance tour. According to Mainland reports, SJ's Chinese member, Hangeng, has already submitted an application to the Seoul Central District Court requesting for a termination of his contract with SM Entertainment. Due to SM's recent contract dispute with TVXQ, this matter will undoubtedly once again inflict serious damage.

SJ is affiliated with Avex Taiwan Inc. who has expressed their surprise, "We were only made aware of this from reading online. However, we have been unable to verify the authenticity of this matter. Mainland new reports are often erroneous. We have not received official information from the Korea government at this time." Organizers of SJ's concert in Taiwan in February next year, Super Dome, hasn't received news either. However, fans have already been rendered frenetic worrying about whether Hangeng would be absent from next year's concert.

In the 2001 SM Auditions, Hangeng relied on his handsome appearance and dancing talent to defeat more than 3000 competitors to receive singing, dancing, language, and other training. In 2005, he became a member of Super Junior becoming the first Chinese person to debut in Korea. In 2008, as leader, Hangeng lead SJ's subgroup Super Junior-M to invade the Chinese market.

In the recent year, SJ has exploded in popularity in China and Taiwan. Hangeng's degree of popularity is very high and has a healthy sunshine image that has impacted many. Hangeng and artiste Lulu were rumored to be together, but the two have not officially confirmed it. The Mainland media speculates that if Hangeng has really asked for a contact termination, it might be that he wants to fly solo and is not in line with SM's idea. However, everything is still waiting to be explained by SM when they step forward.

idk, it makes me really hmmmmm.... the fact that Avex Taiwan didn't know about this.

Hmms, since nobody has posted this up in this community (I think), I thought I'll do the honours. haha.
Here's to everyone who hasn't seen this. This is the official preview to AAA's latest single, Heart and Soul.
As a fan, from what I see, I'm totally loving the song (especially the chorus) and the video itself, but if you think otherwise, do feel free to comment! lol. I just had to say, their outfits are AMAZING! <3 Anyway Enjoyy!

I let a cosmetology student work on my hair, highlights specifically. They didn't do much of a difference.

Why are people so afraid of putting red-oranges in my hair? Is it normal? Like, they're comfortable doing red-reds but with coppers, they assume it will make me look like a pumpkin.

It's official. Sometime between now (obviously after xmas since no one will be open tomorrow, haha.) and new years I'll be hacking off approximately 2..3...4 inches off? Haha.

I'm sure Y'all Notice me post like, last night: http://community.livejournal.com/madradhair/36737244.html?view=386058460#t386058460

This may be a stupidity central to myself, but while I was lighting a Yankee Candle candle (the small one in the glass jar) I accidentally burned the edge of my new gel nail on my thumb. I filed the burned part off, but have I damaged the nail job more than that?

I'm looking for a foundation that is waterproof and no spf.  The reason I want a foundation without sunscreen is because it reflects lights, making my skin look ghostly in flash photos & I hate that.  I also need something with very good coverage.  My skin is kind of blotchy and I have big pores. 

Also, I was wondering if any of you have tried skin id..

Thanks in advance :D
