ALianne Moseley is a unique Canadian makeup artist. While she has a full-time job doing wedding makeup, her real passion lies in painting real-life people into cartoon characters!The 26-year-old artist said that her love for comics began as a child –she would spend hours drawing after school. She also picked up all her makeup skills growing up. “In high school instead of studying I spent a lot of time practicing and doing friends makeup,”she said.Although Moseley has been painting faces for over two years, she recently started doing the comic-style makeup that has made her so popular. “When I first did it, I posted some of my work on my Facebook page and my friends and my brother really liked it,” she said.Each comic transformation takes her about a couple of hours to complete. So far, her favorite transformation was when she painted herself to look like Captain Planet. “Captain Planet was my way of paying tribute t o (称赞) my brother and all his support for my art.”she said.“My favorite reaction will always be my dad’s after I painted myself,” she added. “When I sent him the picture and he asked me who it was. After I told him it was me, the shock that was on his face was priceless, even more when he was curious about where I got the suit, and I replied I had painted it as well.” Moseley said that she dreams of doing movie makeup someday, but for now, she is addicted to cosplay. “Turning into my favorite characters each night just became fun,” she added.21.

However, some believe that taking selfies is causing people to take unnecessary risks that in some cases are proving to be deadly!So how bad is the pro blem? According to recent news reports, taking an “exciting”selfies has killed 12 people this year. Thought that may not seem like a lot, it is four more than the eight people that have died from shark attacks.While the problem has been known for a while, it came to a head following the accidental death of Hideto Ueda at the Taj Mahal in Agra. The 66-year-old Japanese was trying to take a selfie when he fell down some stairs. He passed away soon after a head injury.The rising number of injuries is forci ng governments to take some measures. The Russian Interior Ministry has begun a nationwide program to warn its young people about the dangers of taking selfies. The program’s slogan is: “Even a million ‘likes’on social networking websites are not worth your life and well-being.”Though no other country has followed their lead, many are banning the tool that has led to the rise in injuries – the selfie stick. In the last few months, many museums and Parks including Disney have banned their use.While these measures may help, the only way to stop self ie-related injuries and deaths is to encourage everyone to take responsibility –not just for themselves, but also, their friends. So the next time you or your best friends decide to take a selfie that appearsa little risky, be sure to stop and ask yourself, “Is it worth it?”25.

Without that first spark of luck we may have never seen some of these big names in the headlines.Justin BieberJustin Bieber is one of the biggest popular stars in the music industry. Despite having some of the largest record and goods sales, Bieber was originally just a normal kid. It was musical superstar Usher who took the most interest in Bieber’s videos, and they went on to produce some hit so ngs. It’s an amazing thing to realize just how much potential there is to be discovered over an online platform. If Bieber can do it, then anyone can! Natalie PortmanDon’t you just hate it when you are sitting down and trying to enjoy a particularly good slice of pizza when you are asked if you want to be a model? When Natalie was just eleven, that problem happened to her. Respectfully, she expressed her enthusiasm (热情) for being an actor; then she got the chance to play a challenging role in Leon: the Professional. After that she put more effort into her schooling as she wasn’t satisfied until she got a psychology degree from Harvard, which she uses to try and identify with her characters more genuinely.Will SmithWill Smith wasn’t born to be a famous actor.
