Hell's Bells and and the Curse of the Irish: ammended

Redeemer has been going through Revelation and is actually now, finally sniffing the very end of the story of redemption. Our most recent passage and its sermon focus on the victory of Jesus in triumphal judgment, punishing the wicked by subjecting them all to a fiery place of torment. The Beast of the Sea (earthly governments) and The Beast of the Earth (false religions) may seem to triumph now, but the opposite will some day be their fate. Still today, it does seem the Beast of the Earth is plenty active here in America.

It's certainly an apropos sermon in light of a new book out by a controversial, but very popular pastor Rob Bell on Hell called Love Wins: A Book about Heaven, Hell, and the fate of everyone who ever lived, where he allegedly questions whether Hell will have any folks in it. Apparently God's love is too great; this was the same thing my bible teacher tried to make us believe at Jesuit High School. By God's grace it didn't seem consistent with God then, and it still doesn't now.

Not that everything Bell has written is to be tossed, but we ought to be aware of some new stuff that appears to give folks a picture of Hell they've always wanted. Don't worry about it!

I'll check out his book in time, so for now, I'll just point to the spirit of a "judgmentless" Christ which folks really like fine quite unoffensive.

However, John Dominic Crossan's theology seems to me a super clear picture of someone in line with the Beast of the Earth. While Bell questions some important doctrine, the Irishmen Crossan goes a lot farther, denying the resurrection, and even the need for forgiveness. Check out this article to see someone who has one foot in academia but who tries to bring his message to the masses. CNN does a great job in being "fair and balanced" by not elevating Crossan as a hero or martyr, but also including another point of view from conservative New Testament scholar Ben Witherington.

Here a few snippets from that article and my takes:

"If you believe in a God that uses violence to "save" humanity, you'll start believing that violence is permissible in certain circumstances, such as suicide bombing or invading other countries to spread democracy, Crossan says."

The message of the cross and Revelation is just the opposite. God will be the one to finally bring justice. He paid for the sins of believers so we don't need to judge others. And he will make people who don't trust Jesus pay for their sins in Hell. Therefore we don't need to revolt, nor do we need to pass laws which put sinners to death. Unfortunately Crossan is right in that Christianity has been used as the motivation to invade and spread democracy. But that has been a misinterpretation and misapplication of the cross.

"When we started out, people thought we were out on the left wing," he says. "Now, I'm talking in about 30 churches a year. ... A lot of this is becoming mainstream."

Wow. Not good. Looks like Crossan and the Doobie Brothers are truly "taking it to the streets."

Fashion Designer, A Trend Setting Career

When you take a look at what is up and coming when it comes to careers among the younger generation fashion designer seems to be a frequent choice. This comes from the freedom that younger generations have gained in being able to set what they want to wear. Because of this, setting trends instead of following them has become a norm.

The life of a fashion designer is also one that is full of excitement. You get the ability to meet famous people and if you are lucky, enough get the opportunity to have those people wear your designs. For those that do not want to be in the spot light there are other options available that will still give the opportunity to be a part of the fashion industry. These options are areas such as marketing, website design, the more practical areas of cutting, and sewing. A Fashion designer can create designs for any type of clothing where but many choose a particular market to focus on. For example, a designer may choose to focus on children or just men's clothing.

There are also fashion designers that work exclusively on things like purses, jewelry and other accessories. They start by drawing out their concept on paper. It may change several times before they are happy with it. Then if it is a clothing designer, they create the design on a larger piece of paper and use it to create a pattern. They don't use the final cloth for this but use what is called a rough cloth in order to work out any difficulties before taking the time and expense of doing it in a final cloth. A Fashion designer must have knowledge of things like weave, fabric, material, color, design, and knowing what customers want.

A designer must also be artistic and creative, because portfolios are based on sketches they need to be able to at least draw out the basics for their designs. Because the fashion industry is ever changing, doing research is a daily requirement for someone in the fashion industry they must be aware of changing trends and some of that they can obtain from marketing research. By taking a look at what people in their target market are buying a fashion designer can see where people are leaning when it comes to trends and respond accordingly.

Being a fashion designer is a worthwhile career but it is not just about the lay of a fabric or the type of fabric chosen. It is about knowing how colors, shapes, textures, and fabric types go together. It is about knowing what the industry is doing and what people are going to want to see. Being a fashion designer is also about being artistic, creative and innovative. It can be quite a challenge and the industry is highly competitive. There can also be more stress than in normal jobs because people are constantly four times a year demand to see something new.

And the Oscar goes to...

Last night I saw the Oscars online. I watched the whole press conference AND red carpet. The whole Hollywood with such great minds was talking about 6 or 7 movies. I love the Oscars but ...there are no other movies? It's a country that produces hundrends of movies and tv series around the year. I don't think only 7 movies were good enough to go to the Oscars.

So, after the mean words (hihi) back to our job. I don't to say lots of words. I'm going to say just a few words for each appearance :)

Here we go!

She is always wonderful. This color matches her eyes and hair and the sparkles on the dress? yay!that's what the Oscars demand! 

Pass with 8 of 10

She is my favorite actress. I didn't know she was playing this role, I thought she chooses roles that are soft and happy. Well, she was one of the girls they were on the centre of attention.

She has the best face ever, she is a doll and her dress and accesories..wow!

Pass with 9 of 10

Really? Hmmm.. The only good thing I see here is that red matches her skin tone..

Here, I have to make a small note for Dogtooth which was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film. It's a big deal for Greece to be nominated for the Oscars after 30 years. I loved this movie, noone who has a small mind can understand it. I loved the theme, I loved the actors. It was a nice movie. We are not becoming a ''team'' in Greece. We didn't become at wars so.. why now? Everybody has something bad to say. Well, maybe the Academy knows best!

p.s. For those who judge without knowing, these are the awards ''Dogtooth'' won from the day the movie was released.

1.Cannes Film Festival (2 awards)

2.Dublin International Film Festival (1 award)

3.Estoril Film Festival (1 award)

4.Greek Film Academy awards (5 awards)

5.Ljubljana International Film Festival (1 award)

10.Stockholm International Film Festival (1 award)

It's a great honour for Greece just being so close to an Oscar Award. 

Rendezvous on the Red Carpet

We'd like to thank the academy.. .for inspiring us to write this post.  While we couldn't do live blogging during the event, we can't simply let the Academy Awards pass us by without a comment (or seven) on the fabulous apparel that adorned the red carpet. It was easy to spot the trends this year, from the color red, to loose wavy hair, to shimmering dresses, etc. etc.  Walking the red carpet with all eyes on you can be stressful, but some of these celebs make it look effortless. Here's a look at some of our Oscar night favorite's:

Swan Queen and "Best Actress" winner Natalie Portman looks super pregnant and super stunning in this elegant, plum colored dress by Rodarte.  We might consider leaving those tassel earrings at home though. (Photo Credit: Jason Merritt/Getty) 

It's no surprised that the ballerinas took center stage. Mila Kunis looks absolutely gorgeous in this lacy lilac dress by Elie Saab. (Photo Credit: Jason Merritt/Getty)

Glowing Gwyneth Paltrow looks as radiant as "Oscar" himself in this metallic dress by Calvin Klein.

Red was certainly the popular color this year and Jennifer Lawrence wore it best as she showed off her curves in this simple and chic dress by Calvin Klein. (Photo Credit: Steve Granitz/WireImage)

Saying that Michelle Williams looks amazing is an understatement.  Her figure alone deserves an award but the elegant Chanel dress and perfectly polished hair show she's come a long way since Dawson's Creek. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty)

Reese Witherspoon takes classic black and white to a new level with this retro look.  This Armani dress is simple and elegant and we especially love her very mod ponytail. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty)

And, finally, Amy Adams looked beautiful in a navy sequined dress by L'Wren Scott. Although she sparkles like a jewel we do think the necklace was a little much and she could have looked even more elegant had she gone without it. And we think an updo would have worked better with that high neckline, but that's just us!  (Photo Credit: Jason Merritt/Getty)

Loving James Franco's grandma.

In and Out of Fashion Design

Fashion is a process of artistic behavior that is applied to clothing and lifestyle which are framed to the cultural and social influence of a particular time. But fashion designing is different from costume designing, as it built particularly for two seasons such as autumn or spring. Costume designing is a design for an overall apparel appearance for a character or a performer.

Fashion designing history can be traces back to its origin to 19th century where Charles Frederick Worth was the first designer to put forward his label for the design he created. A design is consider being more complex as of technology. According to Archer design is defined as an area of manual experience, knowledge and skills which is related with humans ability to shape his surroundings to suit his spiritual needs and materials. This designing process is essentially considered to be more rational, logical and sequential process in solving the problem. Designing is not only used in the technology world but it is also used in our day to day lives.

The fashion designing in twentieth century traces back its origin to criss-cross boundaries of the various origin. Popular western styles were adapted through out the world. Almost many of the designers from the outside of the west have a great impact on the fashion designing.

Types of fashion

The fashion can be categorized into three different types. The categorical types of fashion designing are haute couture, ready to wear and mass market. The haute couture is other wise known as mad to measure which is predominant till 1950s. This type of garment is specially created for a specific client. It is made for an individual in an expensive material, high quality and a keen detail to finish. Often this type of fashion designing is time consuming. The second type is the ready to wear, which is made of the cross with the other two type. Even though it is not made for a individual customer but it is done with great care. Most predominantly this is used during the season of fashion week, which occurs twice per year according to the change in season. The third type is the mass market, on which the fashion industry predominantly lies on no care is taken while weaving the garment. It is created in cheap materials, but creatively and in an affordable manner. It is available foe wide range of customers and in large quantity. The production was also so simple and therefore the end product is considerably cheaper.

Careers in fashion designing

If you ant to chose a career in fashion designing it is not so easy to get in. you wont get a jog as you get a degree you need to explore your talent to the world. First market yourself in the industry to build up your career. The techniques to start up your career is that first try to build up your portfolio, display your skills, bring out your creativity, diversify your skills and be willing to do any task offered. Put out you skills and grasp the career you want.

How to Become a Fashion Designer

Is Fashion Your Passion? If you've always dreamed of becoming a successful designer, read on to learn more about how you can realize your dream and become a fashion designer.

The three most fundamental skills required to become a fashion designer are: sewing, drawing, and creativity. You can always learn both drawing and sewing in fashion school (actually, those are typically mandatory classes), but creativity is something you must have in your blood.

Besides the skills listed above, you need the following skills to become successful no matter what your career path is: motivation, determination, and commitment.

If you are serious about becoming a fashion designer, the first and most important step you'll need to take is to enroll in a good fashion design program at an accredited institute. The advantage of going to school is that you'll be taught everything you need to know in a well structured, organized environment. You'll learn the industry standards, how to accomplish required tasks efficiently, get hands on experience with the latest industry technology, and learn exactly what needs to be done to break into the fashion world and how to go about doing it well. Additional benefits include potential internships with well known companies and excellent networking opportunities.

If you're sure you want a career in fashion but are not certain as to which path is right for you, here are a few options to get you thinking: fashion design, accessory design, apparel design, fashion merchandising, fashion marketing and fashion journalism.

As with any career, a solid plan and a good education are essential. This might be even truer in fashion design, as it is definitely not an easy industry to break into. That shouldn't discourage you however, and if you are discouraged that easily then this probably isn't the right career for you. But with hard work, dedication, and a little bit of luck, there's no stopping you from becoming the next Coco Channel or Calvin Klein.

A good first step is to pick a few good fashion schools and get some information from them regarding their programs. This can all be done quite easily now as most schools now have short "information package request" forms right on their websites. They're usually pretty short forms, you fill them out and they mail you an information package which outlines their programs in details. It's definitely worth looking into if you really are serious about getting into the fashion industry.

A Greek Carnival night!

I love Carnival! It's a way to dress the way you couldn't all year. You can wear anything and noone will ever blame you!

Yesterday I went out with my friends to celebrate Carnival in Greece. So, we went on a tavern to eat, drink and listen to greek songs!

 
This is my friend Ria from ''Nail Art Victim'' blog (http://nail-art-victim.blogspot.com/)

 

This is the tavern we went. It has a vintage decoration. I love how it looked last night with all those colors and little lamps!

 

 Everybody was dancing!

 

 

 

I hope you'll all enjoy those Carnival days and nights!

Toodles..
