The term "Makeup artist" doesn't quite do Alex Box justice. I would call her a "makeup visionary". She takes the art of applying makeup to a whole new level and the result of her technique and talent is very avante-garde. Her visions and the ensuing results are captured by photographer Rankin in her self titled book. Have a look...

Kathleen Willey's Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Released

Kathleen Willey, is a former White House Aide who accuses the former president Bill Clinton groping her in the Oval Office. Her new book, Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton, containing explosive revelations on Clintons has been released today. The book definitely has some negative effects on Hillary Clinton's 2008 President campaigns, from

Earthtimes.org

Willey's book contains explosive revelations that could damage Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, including accusations of campaign finance violations and new revelations about harassment and threats by the Clintons and their associates. Willey also identifies the person who threatened her just prior to her testimony against President Clinton -- a man who turned out to be linked to the Clintons.

Last September, Willey was the target of an unusual house burglary that nabbed a manuscript for her book, while little else was taken from her rural Virginia home.

The break-in, she said, reminded her of the widely reported incident 10 years ago in which she was threatened near the same Richmond-area home by a stranger just two days before she was to testify against President Clinton in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case. Willey believes the recent break-in and theft were prompted by the teasers of her book's contents published that week in U.S. News and World Report's "Washington Whispers" column and the New York Daily News.

Willey says she wrote the book because of persistent misunderstanding about what happened 10 years ago.

Albus Dumbledore Is A Gay, He Loves Gellert Grindelwald

JK Rowling has revealed this secret at Carnegie Hall in New York on Oct. 19:

Harry Potter author JK Rowling has exposed one of the main characters of her best-selling Harry Potter series, by revealing that wizard Albus Dumbledore, head of Hogwarts school, is gay.

Speaking at Carnegie Hall on Oct 19 in her first U.S. tour in seven years, the author confirmed what fans have long suspected -- that she "always thought Dumbledore was gay."

After a brief reading from the final book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Rowling took questions from the audience. [T]hen a young fan asked if Dumbledore would find "true love", Rowling answered: "Dumbledore is gay".

Rowling said Dumbledore fell in love with the charming wizard Gellert Grindelwald but when Grindelwald turned out to be more interested in the dark arts than good, Dumbledore was "terribly let down" and went on to destroy his rival.

That love, she said, was Dumbledore's "great tragedy".

...

Rowling said she had read through a script for the movie adaptation of the sixth book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and corrected a passage in which Dumbledore was reminiscing about past loves by crossing it out and scrawling "Dumbledore is gay" over it.
