I'm on the border of infatuation to actually being 'in like'....

Yeah, I just did y'all like that (at least the girls).

I say I'm infatuated with Taeyang (Young-bae Dong) because I've just gotten into Big Bang this year and I don't know them all that well yet and I say 'in like' because I can't claim that I'm in love with someone that I don't know. I've told Alicia that I've liked a lot of guys (from Cody Rhodes to Jin Akanishi to U-Know Yunho and now Taeyang), so when I told her that I liked Taeyang, it was kind of no surprise to her and she probably expects it to change again soon. But, I think Taeyang is going to stay at the top of my 'Wanted Men' list because he has everything I've ever wanted in a man. When I like a group I want to know the people I'm listening to, so when I watched subbed videos of Big Bang on Youtube and looked for little facts about them, I found out that Taeyang was my ideal man. My ideal man has to be a Christian, nice, dedicated, well-mannered, modest, a little shy and him being a virgin too would be nice. Taeyang's all of those things, so that's why I'm 'in like' with him. Plus, his smokin' hot body is nice too, right? XD

*Sigh* Part of me is worried that I've been so into idols and hot pro wrestlers that normal guys just won't compare.

Besides, it's hard to surpass this:

Oh, and this:

It just got PG16 in here! XD

If I ever met him, the chances of us getting together would be 5%, unless it was God's will for us to be together. I can tell you from experience that two shy people can't talk to each other, at least not for a full conversation. I've lost a lot of potential boyfriends from being shy. I hope if I ever meet him (because I plan on going to a Big Bang concert sometime in my lifetime) that he shakes my hand (Taeyang has said before that if he meets a fan that he likes, he'll shake her hand) and on that day I'll probably die. Kidding, but that would be the best day of my life!

XOXO (That's how I'm ending every blog about a cute boy, hugs and kisses for him and you),

Girl Crushes vs. Lesbianism

First of all I AM NOT a lesbian and have nothing against them, I'm just here to stick up for girls who are teased by their friends for finding a girl beautiful (but, not sexually attractive). A girl crush is where a girl finds another girl very beautiful, but not sexually attractive. Lesbianism is where two girls find each other sexually attractive and love each other, like a man and a woman do.

I admit, I have a few girl crushes.

Maryse: You have to admit, it's not bragging if she can back it up and even though Maryse is not the sexiest woman alive, she is sexy (But, does she sexually attract me? No.)

Layla El: WWE's English Muffin is very hot and she can be so adorable! (But, does she sexually attract me? No.)

That's about it when I really think about it. Those are my girl crushes, now this....

Taeyang (for the record, definitely not a girl): OMG, what's not sexy about Young-bae? (But, does he sexually attract me? Is that a trick question? HECK YES!!!)

So, there you have it, my break down of girl crushes. Don't tease your friend or make her seem like a lesbian just because she admires another girls beauty, it makes people feel insecure and self-conscious. So next time your friend says 'Oh, that girl is pretty', don't say 'Ooooh, you like a girl!' because in all actuallity they don't. They just think that person is just plain cute or sexy, they're not sexually attracted to them, like a man is to a woman and vise versa.

CandieCoated Kisses,
Layla

Dang it.....

I tried to stop it. I asked God why did I feel this way. I hate proving myself wrong and was in denial about this for some time, until last month. Now, I have finally embraced the fact that I find G-Dragon attractive.

I can imagine his cocky-self taunting me now (if by some slim chance we ever met and I told him this), grinning like 'Haha, you like me~'.

Anyway, a certain person on twitter (she's knows who she is) opened my eyes to the fact that even skinny boys can be cute. I'm a sucker for cute smiles on boys and when GD smiles, he makes my heart melt.

I don't care if he's cocky, as long as he's not a full on jerk. I can handle cocky men because I'm a very modest person and that would even us out. G-Dragon makes me smile everytime I see him, he's funny, adorable, and can be very sexy. But, it's stuff like this....

Friend: 'Oh, is that your boyfriend?'

Me: 'Yeah.....'

Don't act like you wouldn't be embarrassed if you brought him to an event with hair like that!

When I embraced the fact that I liked him, I was surprised at myself, but I have to admit that it was a pleasant surprise. I don't usually go for cocky guys (aside from Jin Akanishi) and definitely not skinny guys, but GD is an exception. Though humble, I'm too proud to ever say that to his face (if I ever met him). If I met him, I wouldn't know what to say at all.

That's all I wanted to say and I'll leave you guys with this:

XOXO,
Layla

 My cousin Alicia and I made a petition for WWE to treat the Divas fairly (because we all know the Divas want to keep their jobs, so they can't say anything about it). If you're a wrestling fan, you should help us.

Link: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/treatdivasfairly/
Here's what I wrote about it:

______________________________________________________________________________

I think everyone knows by now that World Wrestling Entertainment's women's division (aka the WWE Divas) are treated poorly compared to the men in the WWE. No one seems to be speaking up about it except passionate, loyal, fans and even former Diva Maria Kanellis got the word out on how they wouldn't even listen to the Diva's opinons. Shouldn't a company care about their employees happiness? WWE doesn't treat everyone fairly, but the Divas definately got the short end of the stick. It seems to be, understandibly, taboo for them to speak about it (they want to keep their jobs). So, as their fans, shouldn't we speak up and stand up for them?

Some of the top problems Divas face in WWE:

The circle of champions:

The circle of champions is literally a circle. WWE is known (even in the men's division) for circling the championships around, favoring a select few Divas to win either the Divas or Women's title, and letting a new Golden Girl in once every few years. These women are very good wrestlers and some of the best in their industry, but other girls train very hard to get an opportunity to do that also. Here are the current circle members:

Mickie James
Melina
Maryse
Michelle McCool
Beth Phoenix

The championships revolve around these Divas and these Divas only right now and that's not fair to other Divas who joined WWE, wanting to win a title, and have undeniable wrestling skill. Here are the list of potential champions.

Natalya
Alicia Fox
Gail Kim
Serena
Jillian
Katie Lea
And more...

WWE almost didn't make Michelle McCool the first Divas champion, her boyfriend Mark Callaway (aka The Undertaker) put in a good word for her to the higher ups and they gave her a shot because Mark was a respected wrestler. Now, Michelle McCool is one of the top Divas in the WWE and has made a very entertaining women-only stable called 'Simply Flawless'. It's been very long since the Divas alone have entertained people that much and that only happened because someone spoke up for Michelle. How many other great Divas will WWE pass by, like they almost passed by Michelle? How many other great Divas have they passed by already? They've already released some women, who are now successful TNA Knockouts.

Promoting a select few Divas:

WWE is also known to promote girls with prettier faces, yet don't wrestle as well as the other Divas. Examples of more promoted Divas (ex: puts them in commercials, let's them win more matches, talks more positively about them, makes them the face of the Divas division):

Kelly Kelly
Brie and Nikki Bella

This short list speaks alot on how little WWE actually promotes the Divas. When they do, they promote Divas that the fans don't necessarily like (except little kids), which may lead WWE to believe that the fans don't care about the Divas in general when the only thing wrong is a bad choice of Divas. Another example of bad promoting is WWE let Nikki and Brie Bella win so much, that Nikki has a 21-0 record in all of WWE, with Brie trailing behind with 20-1. That's more than John Cena, Undertaker, and Randy Orton have. The Bella twins are the lowest on the WWE food chain, they can't wrestle very well and WWE knows it. There's a rumor going around that the Bellas are Vince McMahon's favorite Divas, but (even if it's true) the Bellas are not the fans favorite Divas, so that may cause fans to protest against the Divas division in anger. Just because of that fact.

Questionable racism:

Hardly anyone can remember the last time an African-American Diva was a face (excluding Layla El's short run as a face) and the last time an African-American or Asian Diva won a title. There are only two African-American Divas and two Asian Divas in WWE right now:

African-American Divas:

Alicia Fox
Layla

Asian Divas:

Gail Kim
Savannah

WWE seems to be doing nothing with either race of Divas, but sending them on wild goose chases for the titles. Most of these women have undeniable wrestling skill and deserve to be champions, but WWE doesn't seem to want the same. Shouldn't the best employees get promotions? Isn't that how a job works? Well, to the Divas winning the title is like getting a promotion. Is this racism? No one knows and we're not accusing WWE of being racist (but, let's not forget the racism Bobby and Kristal Lashley faced during their time in WWE).

Our point is....

The Divas can't stand up for themselves, unless they go on a strike or quit, because WWE will fire them. So, we have to stand up for their rights for them. Don't you want to see matches and storylines like there were in 2006 and before? The Divas are probably wishing the same. Now's not the time to be lazy and say 'Oh, someone else will help them, I'm too busy'. Has someone helped them in the last 4 years? No, so we have to do it. We're their biggest fans, and as their biggest fans we need to do something about the sexism in WWE, and petition that the Divas be treated fairly in the WWE.

Abstinence

First of all, I want to say that people who aren't abstinent or a virgin should not feel bad! This post wasn't made for you to feel bad about yourself. I made this post because I'm fed up with people saying that abstinence isn't real or obtainable (Bristal Palin). I am a young adult, abstinent, and plan on being a virgin until I'm married. So, technically, I'm proof that abstinence is real and so are thousands of other teens in America (I don't know the exact statistics). I've talked with some of my friends, cousins, and other girls I know about this kind of stuff. Only one of them wasn't a virgin and most were abstinent like I am. I know what you're thinking 'They're probably girls from a church or female empowerment group.', but they're not. They're ordinary young adult and teen girls that I know from various places, I don't even go to female empowerment groups. They are girls from different paths in life and some had different religions than mine. I, myself, am a proud Christian. And, even if abstinence wasn't a sin, I'd still want to save myself for the man I would marry instead of some John Doe I'd forget about down the line or regret. And where the hell did this rumor that not having sex after you're eighteen would damage your sex drive come from? That's just a lie made up by a teenager who needed an excuse. Come on, people....

Using a celebrity example of abstinence, I'll use Kevin Jonas.

I've always wondered about Joe, but I believe Nick is a virgin and Kevin was a virgin (go, Kevin lol).

He went 22 years of his life as a virgin and when he became famous he had all the opportunity to lose his virginity to some fangirl (who would probably be deranged and want to get pregnant) he'd probably forget, but he stayed a virgin until he got married to his lovely wife What's-her-face (I forgot her name, seriously).

Another example of celebrity abstinence is Korean boy band Big Bang's lead singer (and my wishful thinking hubby), Taeyang.

(Dang, I guess I'm forced to say credits to newsen.com for the pic)

Aww, Taeyang's such a good, Christian, man (or boy, whatever). He carries a bible with him almost everywhere, probably tries to go to church every Sunday, he's abstinent (I don't know why I'm laughing while I'm typing this). God, there's a few other reasons why he's my wishful thinking hubby (reading Korean Pop Addict's blog inspired me to create these names for my different styles of obsession), but I'll get into that stuff in another post. I'm glad Taeyang is an abstinent celebrity and that makes my respect for him grow alot more, especially because Big Bang is very big in Korea and he has every opportunity to be with some slutty bimbo (sorry, the inner hater is coming out of me) in a cheap motel after a concert.

My point is I'd rather wait to have sex until I'm married (I honestly don't care if my husband's a virgin or not, but if he was that'd be a big plus) and...be with my husband, who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with and know that I love, as opposed to a boyfriend who might dissapear from my life that year and/or don't know for sure that I love him. (Side note: I'm not a fan of 'shacking up' either. Living together takes the surprise out of the, hopefully, eventual marriage to me)

Abstinence is real. Most people don't it, but there are some who do. Abstinent celebritys are faced with alot more temptation than we are and that's why I respect them. The only people who say abstinence isn't obtainable are the ones who either didn't care enough to keep it or who didn't have enough willpower. To the people who do plan on being abstinent, kudos to you and pass the word about abstinence on to your children in their early years (10-15). Trust me, they'll listen. The words that impacted me the most were said by my mom: 'I really don't want you to have sex before you're married, but if you do, I'd be really dissapointed in you if you get pregnant'. I wasn't one of those kids who wanted to do what my parents didn't like me to do on purpose and I wasn't even going to risk getting pregnant by having pre-marital sex. And, the last thing I wanted my mom to feel was dissapointed in me, so I carved my decision in stone: I was going to be abstinent. I hope some learn form this post and if you did, I'm glad I could help.

WWE's fickle and biased fans

This is a disease I've warned my friends about for a long time. It's a virus that has spread across the WWE Universe and has ruined good WWE Diva's (like Michelle McCool) reputations and raised up Divas with bad wrestling skill (like the Bella Twins). This problem is: 'Fickle Fan Syndrome'. Let's start with Michelle McCool.

Remember face (good) Michelle McCool back in '07 when she smiled in every photoshoot and had almost every fans heart, but didn't wrestle as well as she does now?

By now, we all know the heel (bad) Michelle McCool who looks at us in every photoshoot like 'What the hell are you lookin' at?'. The Michelle McCool which every fan hates, but has much better wrestling skill than before and speaks more than any other Diva (excluding Vickie Guererro) in recent WWE history (and no, I'm not being a Michelle-mark, it's the truth).

If they loved her so much, shouldn't they be happy for her that she's gotten much better wrestling-wise than she was in '07? Yes, when she turned heel they had a valid reason for booing her, she hit the sweet (by now released) Diva Maria Kanellis (and Everybody Loves Maria). But, why would they keep on booing her, even though they know that shes acting (well, most fans know she's acting)? You don't see TNA fans boo 'The Beautiful People' all the time (at least when Angelina Love was the leader). The problem is simple and common. The diagnoses is 'Fickle Fan Syndrome'. It's a disease that wrestlers fans get that can wipe out most of their fanbase. The cause? Pure and simple, because the wrestler has turned heel, nothing more. The fans are so hooked on the good girl winning (no matter how weak she is) that they'd rather have Divas like Brie and Nikki Bella (who are the lowest on the WWE food chain) win over Divas llike Michelle McCool. Prime example:

(For people who don't know, the blonde one's Michelle and the brunette is Brie, I believe)

Another fierce pick of Michelle.

People with 'Fickle Fan Syndrome' would rather the weaker girl win over stronger girl, for the mere fact the weaker one is a face. Would Chicago Bears fans rather some unknown losing college team win over their home team, just because the quarterback is too cocky (sorry, if I confused some of you)? Here's an example of the Bella Twins power (or lack thereof):

Oops sorry....Wait, is this a picture of one of them trying to land a dropkick or one of them getting thrown?

Okay, here we go. Way to go, Brie or Nikki (Because we all know that they cheat).

Do fans diagnosed with 'FFS' know what that has done for the Bellas? Nikki now has an undefeated streak of 21-0, the best undefeated streak in ALL OF WWE and Brie's right behind her with 20-1 (she lost to Maryse once). That's right, more than Undertaker, Beth Phoenix, and John Cena. Are you proud of yourselves, fickle fans? Are you? Okay, okay, so that was WWE's fault, not yours. Like they always listen to what the fans want....

Anyway, on to a Diva who seems to have fallen prey to 'Biased Fan Syndrome': Gail Kim.

Sexy, strong, intelligent. Everything a Diva should be and WWE paid top dollar for her to join them again. But, the fans don't seem to like her. Is it because she was a heel when she left (Fickle Fan Syndrome) or is it just because she came from TNA (Biased Fan Syndrome)? Let's take a look at Gail's wrestling skill....

Bam!

Boom!

Anyway, how could fans dislike a Diva with undeniable wrestling skill and not be biased toward the Divas? She's a face, she has natural wrestling skill, and she's beautiful. And, it's not just the fans who don't like her, it seems like WWE isn't too fond of her also. After she feuded with Maryse (at the Divas pillow fight) Gail, Eve, Kelly came out to Kelly's entrance theme. WTF? What the heck did Kelly do to deserve them coming out to her theme? Yes, she's the most popular out of the three (mostly because WWE shoved her down our throats with all the promos, Jerry Lawler's gushing about her, and the 7-11 CM), but Gail was the one who feuded with Maryse for the title. Kelly was in extra matches on 'Superstars' that didn't even matter. And also, I think Gail and Maryse deserved a showdown together in the match, instead the only showdown they had was one little pillow slap Gail gave Maryse to the back while Maryse was laid out on the mat....*Sigh* Come on, people. Gail Kim put the Knockouts division on the map, I think she deserves a little more respect than that. If she did that for the Knockouts, think about what she can do for the Raw Divas who need serious help.

The only reason I can see why the fans and WWE seem to not like Gail is because of 'Biased Fan Syndrome', they don't like people who come from TNA. Another reason why she isn't liked very much may be because she's an Asian-American, but I don't like to bring the race card up often and will save that for another blog. Until then, support Divas like Michelle McCool and Gail Kim (or the Bellas if you want) because they're good wrestlers, not only if they're faces. And, become immune to 'Fickle Fan Syndrome' and 'Biased Fan Syndrome' by keeping your mind open.

Why I don't find Yamapi and G-Dragon attractive...that attractive.

With looks, I'm a little picky when I'm determining who's hot and who's not. I'm the type of girl that likes nice eyes on a guy, so when I saw Mr. Tomohisa for the first time, I was turned off by the dead fish eyes. I mean, look at them.

This man would be smoking hot if weren't for those eyes...and he is hot, but on a certain level. Even though Yamapi's not my cup of tea in the looks department, he's got a pretty nice personality. He especially won me over (not my heart, but a little of my respect) when he was on 'Hey, Hey, Hey' talking about his friend's baby and how he rushed over to the hospital as soon as his friend told him that his wife was in labor (fan girl's should know I'm talking about his friend's wife, I don't know how long it'll be before Yamapi is married). Alot of friends I know are too lazy to come over and be moral support for their friends, even when it's the miracle of childbirth, and would rather say 'I'll come when the baby is born' instead of having the honor of standing by their friends side for the birth of their baby. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be with my friend (who's probably a nervous reck) and secure my place as the godmother instead of watch 'Family Guy', drink Pepsi, and say 'I should've went to that thing' at the end of the day.

Anyway, on to G-Dragon.



It's pictures like this of G-Dragon that would make people say 'Oh, is that your little sister?' while we were sitting in the park, if I ever dated him. His face can sometimes seem too child-like or too-girly (you have to agree with me there). I'd also like to fit in my boyfriend's pants and shirt (No, not the sexual way. I like to pull off the boyfriend jeans look, it let's me know and reminds him that he's mine) and G-Dragon looks like, what, a size 4? I also couldn't fit his shirt because, not to brag, I have very pornstar-like boobs that would make his size small white tank top a baby tee (exaggerating). So, there would be no wearing his shirts (unless they were baggy) after relations lol (in a few months I can talk about stuff like this and not feel guilty.).

I'm not fat, but I can't fit in those.

Some of you may think 'Oh, those aren't bad', trust me I've been down that alley of thinking that the pants in the magazine or online that model is wearing isn't that small and, like a fool, I bought the same size as the model wore. Remember: The camera adds ten pounds. Getting a little off the subject of G-Dragon, I've been to wrestling house shows where Divas like Rosa Mendes are waaaayyyyy smaller than than they appear in photoshoots.
(Milena Rouka aka Rosa Mendes - Height: 5'8 Weight: 125lbs.)

When this girl fell on the hard plywood ring, the impact made no noise. That's how skinny she is in real life and she and G-Dragon seem about the same size, don't you think?

Back on the subject of G-Dragon, how big do you think G-Dragon is up close (no, not his peen...)? And, that's why I can't wear his pants....Hmmm, it seems like I strayed off the subject of why I don't find him attractive to the subject of why I can't fit his pants. You'll be seeing stuff like this alot from me.

But, sometimes, there are moments where G-Dragon is fantasy worthy (sometimes the sexual kind).

It's hot pictures like this where I just want him to put the phone down and kiss me....



...and pictures like this where I just want to hug him because this is the right amount of cuteness that makes him attractive enough for a nice fantasy. But, not enough for me to deem fully attractive to me.

Frist subject: Beliebers

I've always been a person who kept to myself and thought things like diary's and blogs were stupid. But, at this point of my life, I have alot to say. I like to talk about alot of things and I find myself being very long-winded sometimes....Oh no! I'm turning into my mother! Anyway, as a result, I think I need a blog.

First of all, people who follow my personal twitter (http://twitter.com/CandiesCloset) or my work (non-paying job) twitter (http://twitter.com/Wrestleholics) know that I don't necessarily like Justin Bieber. But, then again, I'm seventeen and who my age does? Right now, he's been a trending topic on twitter for 3 weeks now. 3 WEEKS! Come on hormonal tween girls (ages 12-14), as Alicia (my cousin) says: Even Justin doesn't want to see his name anymore! I don't know why people obsess over a boy who has one album and looks like a twelve year old. I once said on my CandiesCloset twitter '#WhoGivesAFAboutBieber?' and some random person (whose tweets were very...strange may I add) tweeted me: 'How Rude Y U hatin on @justinbieber. Apperently hes a better person than u'll ever b'....Wow, my very first hater. I won't pick on this poor deluded person, because I'm a better person than they think and I won't give them the pleasure of being right. My point is, how is Justin B. getting more attention from the tween girl crowd than their beloved Jonas Brothers. Is it because dear Kevin got married and lost his prized possession? Let's admit it, Kevin's the least popular member, so that's not it. I heard somebody say he sounds like Michael Jackson when he was in the Jackson 5....The only thing I have to say to that is don't let Alicia hear you say that! She'll say he's autotuned like T-Pain, and I don't disagree with her. Anyway, I'm sure by the time this blog comes out J.B. will still be a trending topic and I'll still be waiting for someone to start trending a #ScrewBieber or #DontTweetBieber topic.

CandieCoated Kisses!
