When Money Talks

The life and times of Eccentric Personality EP is truly one for the books. But the once unstoppable and flamboyant EP suddenly became disturbed. He did a long pause, made a turnaround as he got into real big crisis…something no one ever imagined would occur to him.

In his heyday, it would be safe to say that EP had reached his peak, a celebrity status that is hard to duplicate in many ways. But as the saying goes - when you’re up, there is no way to go but down. EP became its latest casualty …only more dramatic and swift.

Many months ago, EP had been so busy contacting his well-placed friends and meeting them up for a supposed very important negotiation. But owing to the size of EP’s issues, it took long and hard for his friends to assist him. But after the long wait and indefatigable persistence, EP finally clinched the deal... and how?

Heard from the grapevine that the negotiation was not without any strings attached. Do we hear money changed hands?

Actually, it’s pretty normal for business deals to be oiled by monetary consideration, in fact it has become a standard operations procedure. But in EP’s case, the amount was quite huge for his “beneficiaries” whom he often trumpets as his friends.

What’s this we heard that certain personalities who acted as EP’s middlemen became several millions richer from the deal? Uh oh…was that a desperate attempt of EP to speed up the negotiation? You bet!

Truly, nothing like a free lunch, even between so-called friends. ;)

She Wants to be Different

The desire to be beautiful is as old as our civilization. The costly enhancements and pain from surgery have not deterred the vainest among us to bear everything just to look good. To date, this phenomenon has become a multi-billion dollar global industry, encompassing make-up, skin and hair care, fragrances, cosmetic surgery, health clubs and diet pills.

Some people say that such spending is not merely for vanity sake. To be beautiful – or just not ugly – offers many advantages. All things being equal, good-looking people often get that prized job. Beautiful people get second-look and are perceived to be more intelligent, healthier, easier to find partners/mates. Among women, their physical attractiveness comes top or near top of every man's list. All told, beautiful people in general have it easy in life.

Celebrities invest so much on cosmetics surgery initially for professional reasons, to help clinch more projects, as looks, alongside talent are what counts in the beauty-obsessed showbiz industry. But more and more stars are not content, as they become more vicious and make beauty enhancements integral part of their lives.

Controversial Personality CP is said to have undergone various enhancements ever since she was much younger, all of which she denies. Reportedly, months before her Big Day BD, she asked a Good Friend GF to recommend a good doctor competent enough to do v-tight on her – but with a twist - CP wanted to ‘bleed’ on their honeymoon. GF was dumbfounded when CP told her that she and her Would-be-Spouse WS avoided premarital sex, but only made do with everything except the ‘real thing.’

Knowing CP who had had a number of relationships prior to WS, her confession was just unbelievable for GF. Anyway, CP decided to consult her just the same. Those who know her attest that CP would stop at nothing to have what she desires at all cost, especially since her v- problem was making her unhappy. Thus looking into v- rejuvenation options to restore that lady part was a must.

Being bff’s, CP knows how GF had undergone such procedures already, notably when she was still with a very controversial partner, ergo any doctor GF recommends is worth trying.

Anyway, when CP finally met the doctor, she was allegedly laughed at for her strange request - to bleed (upon penetration). Doc told CP that she no longer has a hymen, therefore bleeding is like asking for the moon. Lol!

“Good looks are a woman's most fungible asset, exchangeable for social position, money, even love. But, dependent on a body that ages, it is an asset that a woman uses or loses.”

Letter from a Reader: Instagrammer Gets Addicted to Stealing Photos, Claims as Her Own

Image courtesy of Instagram

Dear Fashion PULIS,

Less than a year ago, my friends and I discovered that a "friend" of ours had been taking credit for pictures posted by other people on her INSTAGRAM account, misleading her followers that she was the one who took the photo. As a concerned friend, I decided to confront her seeing that she started getting addicted to stealing other's posts and taking it as her own. Surprisingly upon confrontation, lies and tall tales were said. Instead of fessing up the moment I showed her concrete evidence of her stealing pictures, she claimed her phone got stolen prior and that her posts were made by her alleged thief.

However, prior to her "stolen phone incident," she had already been posting such pictures, thereby losing her credibility and add the fact that she instantly deleted her recent post to mask her deception. After my tirade, she felt betrayed, I did not because I only tried to help. As harmless as it may seem to want to gain popularity, taking credit for someone's work is still dishonesty that could become a habit and be charged with a crime. Such a shameful act must be stopped.

After a while, she mellowed down and didn't post much. Thoughts floated through my brain, thinking that she could have learned her lesson. How wrong I was! She had the gall to revert back to her old ways - posting bogus locations and trying harder to completely fool innocent people on social media. I fear I am too late as it has already corrupted her. I believe she needs help to let her see what's right.

Sincerely,

A very concerned old friend.
