HSY COUTURE COLLECTION AT
PFDC L’ORÉAL PARIS
BRIDAL WEEK 2015
The iconic courier HSY
showcased his exclu-
sive bridal range
collection at the 5th
PFDC L'Oréal Paris
Bridal Week 2015, at
Faletti’s Hotel. Inspired
by the heavens, the
HSY collection was
intricately detailed and
extraordinarily femi-
nine, which marked a
return to a demure and
softer color palette and
silhouette reminiscent
of HSY’s work of the
early 2000’s. This was
re-presented in a con-
text manifest of the
wants and needs of the
woman of today.
With a strong focus on
the use of fabrics both
timeless and pure, HSY
celebrated his true
passion for embroider-
ies and surface embel-
lishment with this
collection, combining his deep understanding of the Western silhouette with quintessen
ially Eastern embroideries.
The collection drew on the lyricism of the heavens, channeling stormy pastels, the colors
of the clouds in their full glory, and shades of blues and greys with metallic embellish-
ments in charcoal silver and rose gold.

GEAR UP WITH
SHOE SENSE THIS SEASON
Heels and girls are
directly proportional.
The height of heels is
directly proportional
to the confidence
boost required. Well,
that could be a lame
start but you got me
right! Yes, ladies
todays agenda is
heels and shoes girls
could wear on any
occasion this season.
Here it begins:
1. Wedges, a name
for comfortable wear
yet something that
breaks the style
boards off. You get
the height, the ease
the comfort all in one
package. Less stress
on the foot means an
event/ occasion
worth of felt-fun
(inside women joke).
So, you could really
go for these shoes
that cover up the
traditional as well as
the western attire, in
sense to fashion.
2. Ankle strap sandal/heels are
another name for your shoes solu-
tion. With the cigarette pants on heat
this season , ankle strap
sandals/heels are a sure fun yet
comfortable way to cover your with
you.
21. 4. Yes, ladies another sugges-
tion to you for the coming
event would be the ‘Nude
pumps’. This is a total versatile
shoe –piece that goes in hand
with whatever attire you
choose. Whether you’re plan-
ning to western or eastern this
eve. This beauty is sure a
safe-play with style.
5. Stilettos! Stilettos could be
your next hot love! Yes, they
never go out of style. Not only
the height increase advantage,
you might also seek the turn
back look for awesome fashion
sense. So this is one hot shot
for girl’s shoes.
3. Metallic heels! My my heels
with the metallic affluence in
shoes could be another trip to
make you look astounding. (By
metallic I mean subtle metallic
that leads to elegance and not
very bling bling). A tip for the
girl’s shoes while selection.
22. 11. Platform heels!
Yes, everyone those
babies are surely
sexy! A tall or a short
heighted person
everyone dies for
them. This is defi-
nitely a pair of girls
shoes must to pur-
chase.
6. Cork high heels could
be another option. This is
basically as an easy sub-
stitute in reference to the
stilettos. The cork mate-
rial replaces the move-
ment into a soft cushion
like movement. This
could be very soft
replacement for the girl’s
shoes.
7. Peep toe heels. Well,
well. Comes in all sizes
and all shapes. Their
focusing element is the
sneak peek of the colored
toe nails, hence peep toes.
These girls’ shoes are a
stylish yet easy to walk in.
8. Nowadays the Espa-
drille heel is in fashion.
These heels have a fabric
upper a plaited fiber sole.
These girls’ shoes are
surely a take on this
season.
9. Chunky heels could
also be a take on. The
heels come in various
shapes, but a chunky base
heel. These heels are
heighted and again could
be substituted with the
stilettos, for those who
have balance issues with
thin heels.
10. Well, with the cigarette pants in
reign this season corset heels can be
a really great option. These heels are
similar in design to a ‘mule style’ or a
bootie. The modification /difference
lies with the two sides of the heel
been tied together like a corset is.
23. So ladies, we have given you the hints of fashion and style sense this season for your
shoe selection. I hope you take advantage of the information you have got. Go buy the
shoes of desire, the heel-height of your wish. The color of your choice but the shape/
shoe selection that is recommended. We surely want you look hot, look the “highness’
you deserve to look. Grab on the best pair of shoes you can. Happy styling!
24. AEROBICS EXERCISE
AND ITS BENEFITS'
What really is aerobic exercise? Yes folks, this is the agenda for today. This should be
the question right? Well, here is the answer to your query:
Close your eyes and start imagining the following visuals we’ll be heading you up to. You
are exercising that makes you sweat really heard, your heart is pounding with all that
thump , the blood courses through the vessels to transport oxygen in your veins, trans-
porting through the traffic of your muscles and you could sustain this activity for more
an a few minutes. Now that’s aerobics and that’s a clear picture of it painted.
Aerobics exercise a name for physical activity that improves the
cardiovascular/respiratory health. In literal terms by ‘Aerobics’ it is derived as “In pres-
ence of, or with, oxygen”. When its aerobics it has a connection with increased heart and
breathing rate in an optimum healthy procedure, the activity could be sustained for an
extended period of time.
The examples of aerobic activities may include; walking, jogging, dancing, swimming,
biking etc.
25. 1. Benefits to mental health
Aerobic exercise increases the level of confi-
dence, emotional stability, memory and brain
functions in an individual. Aerobic exercise
according to studies have also been linked
with decreasing the rate of depression , that is
to some extent found in all individuals at
different levels , according to different situa-
tions. Aerobics helps tackle the phase of
depression by bringing chemical reactions in
response to the intense physical activities,
which narrows down the progression of such
a stance.
2. Benefits in response to diseases
Aerobic exercise prevents heart disease, by
strengthening the heart and lungs. This is
because the right amount of oxygen is sup-
plied to the organs in a return to performance
of moderate-intense physical activities. Aero-
bic exercise helps keep down the cholesterol
level, it reduces the type 2 diabetes. It also
helps developing the immune
system/function. Alongside it covers the
margin for those who suffer from blood pres-
sure; this, by lowering the rate!
3. Physical benefits of
aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise is your solution to burn up
those calories, reduce the extra fat and get
the body of your desire. It is also beneficial in
toning the body’s muscles and improving the
body posture.
4. Benefits of Fitness with
Aerobic exercise
Well, we have already covered the physical
profits of aerobics; let’s discuss the fitness
profits this exercise brings. These include the
improvement in stamina building, energy
generation, better sleep and handling of
stress.
How the aerobic exercise procedure does happen?
It begins with the breathing. On average a human can exhale or inhale 7 to 8 liters of air per
minute. The lungs then get filled, among which 20% of the air is oxygen. This oxygen goes
through the process of filtration by tubes called bronchioles, until it reaches alveoli.
Alveoli are the sacs where the diffusion of oxygen occurs. From there it has a straight direct
course to the heart.
The four chambers of the heart need a fresh and constant supply of oxygen. The lungs provide
the heart what it needs and after it’s obtained it
distributes the blood oxygen and nutrients to
organs, muscles and tissues. The later proce-
dure is “oxygen consumption” This oxygen is a
gain for all the cellular activities going within
the system. The more the better!
If you mean to clinch a healthy / active life-
style, aerobics exercise is your thing. Aerobics
exercise is bonus to all who are keen to obtain
an optimal health and below there is stated
benefits for this mode of exercise:
So, folks this is how what aerobic exercise is
like and how it helps in various ways.
Increase your aerobic activity and give your-
self a great kick start to health. That’s what
your body demands. Happy Exercising!
26. 10 EFFECTIVE WAYS TO
REDUCE OBESITY
Obesity is one of the major diseases on
the rise in the world today. People are
being diagnosed with it every day. What
is obesity, you may ask. Well, it is a con-
dition where a person has lots of fat in
their body thus making them extremely
overweight. It is mainly measured using
the BMI (Body Mass Index), which
involves dividing your weight
(kilograms) with your height (meters
squared). In the case that the result is
above 29, you are considered as obese.
They are many ways to reduce obesity.
For example, leading a healthy lifestyle
and exercising regularly. If you are
already obese, there are things you can
do to reduce this condition. They include:
10. Take Some Honey
Honey will help you lose weight. Stir
some honey in a glass of warm water.
You may add some lime juice to
improve the taste. Take this mixture at
least once a day on an empty stomach.
In a few months, you will have lost
weight.
9. Take Apple Cider Vinegar
A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar will
help in burning the fat in the body. It is
most effective when taken before you
go to sleep, so it can work on the fats as
you sleep.
8. Add Some Spices To Your Tea
Spices reduce your weight more effec-
tively and naturally. Ginger, cinnamon,
cloves and black pepper are some of the
spices you may add to you tea. Need I
say the taste will also be heavenly? I
don’t think so.
7. Vegetables and Fruits
These are also efficient in weight loss. They con-
tain nutrients that also leave you healthier.
Ensure that at least half of the meal you take
comprises vegetables. Fruits can be used as a
substitute for snacks.
6. Feast On High Fiber Foods
They help you feel full throughout the day, even
though they contain fewer calories and little fat.
They digest slowly, meaning they will keep your
blood sugar stable, not fluctuating as most foods
do, and thus making you feel hungry.
27. 3. Take Some Green
Tea
Green tea has been shown
to be an effective remedy
for weight loss. With green
tea, you won’t even need to
take those expensive magic
pills that promise you a
size-8 figure in day. We
both know that a lie. It
works just perfect and no
dieting will be required.
Good thing still, you will
require no dieting. Simmer
the best quality green tea
leaves in boiling water for a
few minutes. Take the tea
at least once in a day and
within no time, you will be
amazed.
5. Stick To 3 Meals A Day
Skipping meals will in no way help you reduce weight. Actually,
according to research, those people who tend to skip meals,
especially breakfast, have a tendency of adding weight. This is
because, if you skip a meal, you tend to eat more calories when
you eat the next meal. You will also feel hungrier during the day
as compared to people who do not skip meals.
4. Homemade Food is the Best
There is nothing as sweet as a home cooked meal. It is not only
nutritious, but also made to specific taste and flavors. Most
meals made in hotel are full of fats and make you increase
weight a lot. Eating homemade food will limit you on eating lots
of junk and also you will be aware of how healthy the food you
are eating is. If you can’t make food, don’t worry, there are lots
of healthy recipes available on the internet that can guide and
within no time, you will become a pro in matters of cooking
28. 2. Exercising
Physical exercise is by far one
of the best ways to reduce
obesity. Home exercises or
going to the gym will do just
fine. But ensure you perform
intensive workout for 30 to 45
minutes in a day at least five
days a week. Within no time
your weight will decrease and
you will be much healthier.
1. Keep Hydrated
Water is a known detoxifying
agent. It helps in removing all
the toxins in the body that
might have accumulated lead-
ing to weight gain. Drinking
enough water in a day will
help you in weight loss. At the
moment, the recommended
amount is 8 glasses in a day.
Drink water 30 minutes
before and after a meal. Hot
water is especially good as it
eliminates fat deposits in the
body.
Obesity is no respecter of age or race thus it
affects all people. It puts one at risk of many
lifestyle diseases. Such diseases include
some types of cancer, diabetes, stroke and
heart diseases. It is majorly caused by intake
of too much calories than required and lead-
ing a sedentary lifestyle. The above tips will
help you reduce the weight and also make
you a healthier, happier you.

APPLE IPHONE 6S & 6S PLUS
40
Just as we
expected, Apple
announced the
next versions of
its best-selling
smartphones, the
iPhone 6S and 6S
Plus, at its annual
launch event in
San Francisco.
Also as we
expected, the
iPhone 6S looks
identical to last
year's 4.7-inch
iPhone 6, reserv-
ing its most
i m p o r t a n t
changes for the
hardware inte-
rior.
True, there is a
new color now,
called rose gold
(it basically looks
like a blush pink,
same as the new
Apple Watch
color option that
the company
announced).
The moment you
use iPhone 6s,
you know you’ve
never felt any-
thing like it. With just a single press, 3D Touch lets you do more than ever before. Live Photos
bring your memories to life in a powerfully vivid way. And that’s just the beginning. Take a
deeper look at iPhone 6s, and you’ll find innovation on every level.
The next generation of Multi Touch.
The original iPhone introduced the world to Multi-Touch, forever changing the way people
experience technology. With 3D Touch, you can do things that were never possible before. It
senses how deeply you press the display, letting you do all kinds of essential things more
quickly and simply. And it gives you real-time feedback in the form of subtle taps from the
all-new Taptic Engine.
43. Technology:
A9. The most advanced chip ever in a smartphone
iPhone 6s is powered by the custom-designed
64-bit A9 chip. It delivers performance once
found only in desktop computers. You’ll experi-
ence up to 70 percent faster CPU performance,
and up to 90 percent faster GPU performance for
all your favorite graphics-intensive games and
Cameras:
12MP pictures. 4K videos.
The world’s most popular camera is more advanced than
ever. The 12-megapixel iSight camera captures sharp,
detailed photos. It takes brilliant 4K video, up to four times
the resolution of 1080p HD video. iPhone 6s also takes
selfies worthy of a self-portrait with the new 5-megapixel
FaceTime HD camera. And it introduces Live Photos, a new
way to relive your favorite memories. It captures the
moments just before and after your picture and sets it in
motion with just the press of a finger.
44. Design:
A breakthrough design.
Innovation isn’t always obvious to the eye,
but look a little closer at iPhone 6s and
you’ll find it’s been fundamentally
improved. The enclosure is made from a
new alloy of 7000 Series aluminum — the
same grade used in the aerospace indus-
try. The cover glass is the strongest, most
durable glass used in any smartphone.
And a new rose gold finish joins space
gray, silver, and gold.

MEN’S SOLUTION TO THEIR
“SHOEDROBE”
Ask a man about his
shoes and he will tell
you his sentiments
on it. Shoes are the
center of fashion for
men if you ask them.
The first noticeable
element of a man’s
personality and a
window to his fash-
ion sense are
‘shoes’.
So, yes folks today’s
agenda is men’s
shoes. Yes, we are
going to ponder on
the most important
investment in a
man’s life. A man
when being judged
has three consider-
ation factors, hair,
and a firm hand-
shake and yes
SHOES!
No matter what
event it is, men are
concerned about
their shoes is it an
interview, a date, a
formal event or the
regular casual day-
to-day activities.
Today we will hit on
the essentials every
man should carry. 5
of the very main
men’s shoes are
discussed below.
This is what it is
here we begin:
47. 1. The Brown
Leather Brogue
Yes, the brown leather brogue has
its traces of origin from Ireland and
Scotland. And since then it has
become spine for contemporary
gentleman.
The name of the shoe has devel-
oped from its design element of a
traditional punch hole on the upper
silhouette of the shoe. This is called
brogueing. No matter what shade
of brown, a ‘Brogue’ it teams well
with each outfit in your.

2. The Black
Leather Oxford
The next in recommendation lays the
black oxford shoes which are regarded as
a perfect occasion shoe. An oxford shoe
might look like a “Derby” but it’s not due
to its closely sewn lacing system.
The black leather cap toe oxford should
be in a man’s collection as must have.
This shoe is the perfect complement to
the men’s formal wear.

48. 3. The
Suede
Loafer
The third in line as a recom-
mendation to men’s shoes
runs the Suede Loafer for
men’s shoes. This shoe was
designed for King George VI; it
has also been a choice for
silhouette during the mod
movement in 1960’s.
This shoe is lace less and
carries a pared-down design.
This men’s shoes best matches
the smart and smart-casual
attire. The recommended
colors for this are mostly tans,
browns and beiges in shades.
49. 4. The
White
Leather
Low Top
Trainer
With the return of the sport
hype trend, past a couple of
seasons/years, sneakers from
the back of the men’s wardrobe
have gained popularity again.
These trainers had been quite
famous during the vintage.
They are crafted with first-rate
materials. And now with the
immense availability in the
market there are great brands
with great designs for these
shoes. It is only a matter of
exploration that puts the man in
his state of shoe decisiveness.
50. 5. The
Leather
Lace-Up
Boot
The last recommendation to
the men’s shoes as must haves
are the leather lace-up boots.
This is a style out there, never
to die. Concerning this piece,
the best effort maintained
could be selecting the right
silhouette. The lace up to the
ankle boots, the choice is sub-
jective. Leather brogue boots,
Suede dessert boots and
Hiking boots could be another
option in filling up your ward-
robe with the best of the similar
category.

LUXURYLIVING This Batshit Crazy Company
Wants to Build Mobile
Private Islands
Yachts are for chumps. People who really know how to spend their money get sub-
mersible yachts from Migaloo, a mysterious company that offers five different
models of underwater palaces. But true evil villains just go for the Migaloo’s crown
jewel: Kokomo Ailand.
Kokomo Aisland is a mobile private island that floats on two semi-submersible plat-
forms. Just shy of 385 feet long, this massive habitat is a floating fun zone-
especially when it’s in international waters.
The specific design is totally customizable, but Migaloo offers some pretty ludicrous
amenities. Here’s a list from the Austrian company’s website that makes Kokomo
Ailand sound like a personal cruise ship:
53.
54. Private Owners Penthouse 80 M Above Sea Level
Jungle Deck With Palm Trees And Vertical Gardens
Beach Deck With Entertainment Pool & Barbecue Area
Garden Deck With Al-fresco Outdoor Dining
Spa Deck With Spa And Beauty Saloons
Large Pool Areas And Waterfalls
2 Beach Clubs Including Beach Gym
But then the place starts to sound like a Bond movie:
Underwater Dining Saloon, Shark-feeding Station
Outdoor Cinema
Heli Deck
Massive Storage For Tender & Toys
You can interpret the phrase “massive storage for tender
& toys” however you’d like. We can only imagine it’s a
vault full of gold coins and platinum-plated vibrators.
55.
56. But inevitably, Kokomo Ailand is a place for relaxa-
tion, a way to get away from it all (think: extradition
laws), talk to exotic tropical birds, and enjoy fruit-
flavored cocktails on the water.
Don’t forget, the glory of owning your own mobile
island is the idea that you can flee to a new para-
dise anytime you want.
Moby Dick sightings are not guaranteed, but they
are encouraged!
Does all this seem ridiculous to be true? It probably
is. The company lists Kokomo Island for sale-
along with a fleet of five submersible yachts—on
its spare website, though there are plenty of pretty
renderings of what such a rich boy toy would look
like. However, Migaloo hasn’t actually sold any
mobile private islands.

These domes and minarets make the mosque
visible from quite a distance making it look
even more ethereal. The facts mentioned
above make the mosque one of the biggest
mosques in the world in terms of covered area.
The mosque has a functioning fountain which
is perfect for the contemporary yet traditional
architecture of the mosque. A question might
arise in our minds that who is the amazing
architect of this wonderful looking mosque and
the answer is quite easy. It is none other than
the biggest name in the world of Pakistani
architecture Mr. Nayyar Ali Dada.
60. The gleaming marble floors and mosaic made by the Multani Mosaic makers adds very much to the
beauty of the mosque. The total number of mosaic tiles in the mosque is 4000. The best part is
that the admin of theGrand Mosque in Bahria Town Lahore is very much concerned about the
cleanliness of the mosque and you can see machines and workers, cleaning the mosque at tiny
intervals of time.
The tailor made
chandeliers are
just magical and
they add so much
to the beauty of the
mosque that
people actually
stand and look at
the chandeliers for
the longest of
times. The chande-
liers give an alto-
gether look from all
different floors of
the Grand Mosque.
61. If you ever get a chance to visit this amazingly built mosque, do not miss it. As for all
Lahoris, you must pay a visit to the mosque as the experience is just great.
The mosque has a spe-
cial place on the second
floor reserved solely for
women making it very
few of the mosques in
Pakistan which have a
space reserved espe-
cially for female nama-
zis. There is basement in
the grand mosque which
is basically comprised of
an Islamic art Gallery and
a religious school which
has not yet been made
functional but will start
functioning in a matter of
time.

INTERVIEWS
THE ISSUE OF KISSING
IS NOTHING
FAWAD KHAN
Fawad Khan is a critically and commercially acclaimed actor in Pakistani televi-
sion and bollywood film industry.
In the news recently for walking out of Battle for Bittora and then bagging
Vogue’s Most Beautiful Male award in Mumbai, we take a look at the success
story that has evolved over the years – from his rock band to breaking into Bolly-
wood.
Fawad is one of the most sought-after actors in not just Pakistan, but across the
border, in India too. Fawad spoke about his latest film, his no kissing pact and also
got a little nostalgic about his old music career…
You’ve come a long way since your
rocker days, run me by the changes
you’ve been through, both as an
actor and as an individual…
As an actor and an individual I think
I’ve learnt how to subdue the angry
young man that was inside me.
When I started out I think I was very
much similar to Bruce Banner and
his hulk problem. The answer to
everything was hulk smash!, quite
literally, in some way or the other in
every emotional output. I was much
louder. I think that would be my big-
gest achievement as well.
I’ve expanded my skill-set through a
very limited number of projects and
been very lucky with the outcomes
most of the time. As an individual,
I’ve learnt a lot about life. Some
things that proved to be helpful and
some things I wish I never knew.
63.
64. Can’t find the space for it these days. But
all this while I’ve had the chance to sit
down and listen to some great music. I
really do miss it. It’s a memory and an
experience I really cherish. There is no
comparison between the life of a rock
star and an actor. If I could now, I would
be a rock star within a blink of an eye. So
as far as music is concerned, yeah, I
might just go back to it but don’t want to
be unfair to it. It requires its proper time
and space.
You’ve just wrapped up shooting for Kapoor
and Sons – what was your experience like
working with the cast and the crew, particu-
larly, Karan Johar?
Do you miss your music days? Would
you ever consider going back to music
for a bit?
Working on Kapoor and Sons was a lot of fun.
The energy was great and the cast and crew all
got along really well, like a family. Sid, Alia and
Shakun are fantastic people to work and hang
out with. This is my second time working with
Ratna Patak and as always it’s a pleasure,
whereas it’s my first experience working with
Rajat Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, I feel like I
share an old camaraderie with them.
Karan, is an extremely genuine and warm
person. Having seen his work on Koffee with
Karan one can very well see his sharp sense of
humour, but in person, believe me when I say
it’s an experience on another level. With that
wit comes a sharp eye and a sensibility that
makes his production house what it is today
65. Was Bollywood daunting for you, initially?
No. I didn’t come in with any preconceived
notions of the industry so I don’t feel it was
daunting. As an actor if you ask, it’s funny but
my audience’s expectations are more daunt-
ing than the work itself
Fawad, the media went into a bit of a spin
after your decision of choosing not to get inti-
mate with Alia Bhatt in Kapoor and Sons. Is
this something that you’re going to stick to for
all your films?
First of all, there is a lot of guessing that goes
on in the market. It’s all a result of not having a
PR which I feel it’s high time that I get, sec-
ondly, one needs to start reporting impostors
on social networking sites. The issue of kiss-
ing is nothing and just a personal choice for
now.
The ‘dream role’ for me is a myth as of
now. As an actor I’m challenged around
the clock. To be able to keep changing
personalities is the biggest task alone.
To not repeat yourself again and again.
The day I’m able to master that skill, I’ll
be ready for my dream role.
What’s your definition of a dream role?

68. Great news in these days of turmoil in indo pak rela-
tions. The bollywood Bebo, Kareena Kapoor khan
will be starring in upcoming film Directed by the
super pakistani director Shoaib Mansoor who is
well known because of Khuda ke liye (Bol) fame.
In this Connection Kareena will be reaching Dubai
this week and she and Shoaib will discuss the
formal plot and there after get it to a legal rela-
tionship with the contract signing.
This news had already created a big buzz but
there was no confirmation from Kareena's end.
Now however her spokesperson has confirmed the
news.
“A few months ago, Shoaib Mansoor had emailed his
concept to Kareena, saying that she will have a powerful
role in the film,” said someone close to Kareena. “She liked
the idea but wanted to read the script before giving her nod to
the film. She will be the first A-list actor to work in a Pakistani
project,” stated the source.
The source further added that Bebo was on the look out for some huge project that would yield
some heavy financial gains. Now with shoaib's Story in the offing, Kareena feels that the right
moment has arrived.

KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN
TO SIGN PAKISTANI MOVIE
Kareena has all the regards for Shoaib Man-
soor and his abilities as a film director and the
great thing is that this respect is mutual.
The news is that Shoaib’s next is a heroine-
eccentric film, which will take off next year.
Well, this is one collaboration that will defi-
nitely set the box office on fire.

American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy has been so impressed and enamored with
Lady Gaga’s performance in the upcoming American Horror Story: Hotel that he’s already
offered her a part in season 6 of the show.
Murphy took to Twitter to declare his admiration for Gaga, who makes her acting debut in
American Horror Story: Hotel and asked her to return for another season. While FX has
not officially announced a sixth season of the horror anthology co-created by Murphy and
Brad Falchuk, the series is the cable network's highest-rated series.
The new series, like every season, marks a complete reset of the story with the returning
cast members including Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates and more all playing
new characters.
There’s no word on whether or not Lady Gaga will accept, but given the excitement she’s
shown as part of the upcoming season, it seems like a forgone conclusion that she would
be willing to return.

72. Taylor Swift has landed her first cover of GQ
Magazine and the 1989 hit-maker is looking smok-
ing hot on it. Revealing the November cover on
Instagram, the 25-year-old posted the steamy
snap in which she poses on a balcony in a nude
tank-top over a black bikini. The top barely covers
her torso and shows off Swift's very famous legs.
The star is wearing minimal make-up for the
beach shoot, with shoulder-length tousled locks
falling sexily around her face. After ruling the
world with her last record-breaking album, Swift
has quite a bit to say to GQ according to write
Chuck Klosterman, who sat down with the global
icon.
Teasing the interview he said of Swift: “If you don’t
take Swift seriously, you don’t take contemporary
music seriously...There’s simply no antecedent for
this kind of career: a cross-genre, youth-oriented,
critically acclaimed colossus based entirely on the
intuitive songwriting merits of a single female
artist.
"It’s as if mid-period Garth Brooks was also early
Liz Phair, minus the hat and the swearing. As a
phenomenon, it’s absolutely new.”
Swift fans are going to have to enjoy this latest
interview as it might be the last for a while. Speak-
ing recently to NME Magazine, she hinted that
after her 1989 tour comes to an end in December
that she's going to take some time away from the
spotlight.
"I think I should take some time off. People might
need a break from me. I'm going to hang out with
friends. Write new music. Maybe not write new
music. I don't know," she said.

BEDROOM DECORATION IDEAS
FOR TEEN AGE GIRLS'
The toughest call in a girl’s life is her transition from childhood into her teen age phase.
Yes, that’s the difficult phase. Why? Well, because it’s the first ladder up to woman
hood. It is the time when her outlook to things changes completely. This afflicts her
personal stances and choices. And if it is to be linked with the very base; then let’s dis-
cuss her room. Yes, folks today’s agenda is the bedrooms of teen age girls.
The teen age girls want fashionable/elegant rooms alongside functional. Something
that might offer them more than a relaxation zone. Well, you see this is the time they
want to invite friends. This is the time when they discover the ‘new-them’. And lastly
this is the beginning of them developing sense towards taste.
75. So here’s some
worthy teen
age girl’s room
design ideas:
1. There’s one tip for the
teen age girls bedroom
which includes usage of
animal prints across the
room. Be it beddings or
accessories. Pairing them
along with the graphic
wired mirrors. Frames
above the headboard of a
bed and canopy beds. This
could be one option for a
teenage girl’s bedroom.
2. Another tip for the teen
age girl’s bedroom could be
soft-tone colors. Combina-
tions of cream wall papers /
walls along with soft-pink
or soft colored accessories.
(Not merely pink pink, total
pink is another catch).
3. Wall-letters ( plastic or
metal , any) with ‘name-
alphabets’ or any catchy
words is another great new
feature for the exclusive
teen age girl’s bed room
design ideas.
4. Special wallpapers with
city-graphics or illustra-
tions for instance one’s
with images like Eiffel
tower appearing on them
could be another great
design for the teen age
girl’s bedroom.
76. 5. Girl’s having love for nature
should go with nature oriented
earthy tones and colors for their
room. This could also behold the
leafy / floral wallpapers that could
make their room look the perfect
glimpse of their style.
6. Girl’s having a nag for history
through fashion(20th century)
should choose the colors and acces-
sories of their room on the various
themes they like. For instance, a
glam-rock theme could hold items
associated with glam-rock, pictures
of rock music, strong metallic colors
and accessories to match with the
theme in their bedroom.
7. PINK! As cliché as it may sound.
But teen age girls have a nag for this
color. Go pink with your room. This
includes the selection of intricate
details from the cushions to the
curtains, the walls and accessories
in the room.
8. Another tip for the teen age girl’s
bedrooms could be the eccentric
four poster beds. Be them single or
double, along withcanopies. Not
only teen age girls such beds take
up most of the taste from late cen-
turies till the present in people abid-
ing to all ages.
9. Modern simplistic furniture could
be another option for the teen age
girl’s bedrooms. This type of furni-
ture is named as Mod-glam. This is
a sure-in-to-go trend for them.
10. And lastly, no-mess-all-clean
room is the essential for a girl’s
room. As it has been stereotyped
among the both gender classes;
girls are considered to be more
organized and clean. This is the
crux of the teen age girls’ bedroom.
77. So, go on follow these little tips and make your room different yet phenomenal. We know
you’re entering a new phase of life, why not enter with a new flavor of exceptionality and
sense of fashion. After all we are speaking of the room you have been planning to get ever
since you had been mommy’s little girl. Go renovate the place. Happy decorating!
