翻开报章杂志，无论是电子或平面媒体，甚至在商场，到处都充斥着瘦身广告。艺人代言更是无所不在。美，已经和瘦画上了等号。艺人因"职责所在"必须时刻保持最佳状态，所以艺人与 “瘦身”，有如唇与齿，有着密不可分的关系。产商找艺人代言产品，事半功倍，所带来的经济效应和影响力，促使产商心甘情愿的捧着大把白花花的钞票上门请艺人代言。
若干年前，艺人都是因自己不争气，疏于保养，有的是因心宽体胖，又或者是产后发福,产商因而找上门。动机较单纯。有了 "之前"(Before)，才有 "之后" (After)。
反观现在，是预先设定好了"之后" (After) 所要呈现的状态，再去制造"之前" (Before) 的形像。世界是没有白吃的午餐。仔细留意便不难发现，艺人若突然向横发展，事出必有因，商业企图之明显，是有迹可寻的。
从"亚姐" 韩君亭 (Belinda)被狗仔拍摄到她的赘肉涌出那件红色泳装，到大眼姐姐关之琳无故发福看来，若说不是有人精心设计，实在很难解释，为何原本仟细的两人，会沦落成如此。
当然，香港媒体也很配合。毕竟，这是一场互惠互利的游戏。产商可以有免费的宣传，报社也可冲销量，大家各得其所，何乐不为? 香港艺人廖碧儿最近不就因失恋而暴饮暴食，上了八卦杂志，甚至还有图文并茂的报导。照片之清晰，角度之精准，若不是有精心布局，那么，也只能说相机的功能一流！在那篇报道之后，便发现廖碧儿很快的便当上了M开头的瘦身公司的代言人。
瘦身减肥其实并非坏事。毕竟，肥胖的确是会产生健康问题。但凡事要适可而止，现今的这种病态形的倡导快速减肥方式，反而会毁了健康。肥肥沈殿霞的女儿，郑欣宜就很快速的减去几乎相等与一个人的体重，外界纷纷称赞她的惊人毅力，却忽视了快速减肥对一个年仅十九岁(当时欣宜只有十七岁)，正值发育期的少女，所带来的伤害。毕竟，身体已经习惯了这样子的身躯，一下子消瘦下来，身体能承受得来吗? 减肥应该循序渐进，有些事，是急不来的。

慈善事业
慈善事业。。。。
忙碌的都市人为了糊口，三餐温饱，渐渐地，变得麻木。火烧不着眉头，我们大可以隔岸观火。为了唤起尘封已久的心，再激起人们的善心，最有效的方法便是让人感同身受。人毕竟是视觉性的动物，透过视觉，我们才能“身历其境”，愿意掏钱捐款。从过去的NKF，到现在的仁慈医院，皆是通过类似薄命演出，来筹取善款。虽然这类演出会被观众批评，唾弃，但仍就年年上演。当观众看见明义法师今年挑战绳索攀爬商业大楼时所流露出的那种痛苦又无奈的表情，观众又于心何忍，不掏钱捐款呢?
其实，不仅本地慈善演出如此，香港，台湾 亦是如此。若干年前，张柏芝差点在飞车表演中瘫了身子。近期香港歌手Yumiko 也在表演空中飞人时，不小心春光乍现。虽人无大碍，但却也心灵受怆。在台湾，虽无类似状况，但世界张望会也是通过饥饿30(艺人连续30个小时挨饿) 来宣导与呼吁人们来重视贫穷国家饥荒问题。
慈善本意乃善，可是当慈善与商业有了交集，难免就变得煽情。倘若慈善便成了事业，本意变质乃是必然，NKF 不就是最佳的例子吗?但其实善与恶不也就是一线之差? 如何去拿捏才是真节所在。希望慈善能回归到最初的感动，回头是岸吧。

<<指甲>>
死女包日记
<<指甲>>
前几天听说同事失恋了，让我想到了其实爱情就像指甲一样。
先说指甲的功用吧。它是你身体的一部分，就跟爱情一样。男生的爱情多半是“功能性”的，需要时就用一用。偶尔用来搔搔痒，抓抓头，掏掏耳朵或耳屎。(尤其是男生，大拇指和小指的指甲特长~~)。当然也有男生不属于“功能性”的范围内啦，但应该是gay吧?
女生吗，就爱涂涂指甲油，做做指甲彩绘，是因为“喜欢”才会花时间和精力来经营。指甲对不同的女生的重要性会有所不同。有的是“蔡依林”那一类，视甲如命，不做指甲彩绘不能出门见人的那一种人。没骨气，没爱情会死的那一种有没有?！当然，忘了说爱情是要用银两$$$来经营的！！！
有的是“老百姓”那一类，如果指甲能留长那当让最好，但没有也不影响手指的功能。第三种就是“歹命”那一类，手忙都来不及了，还管什么指甲。
再来说说过程。每个人的十根手指甲长短不一(鬼才会一样咧！)指甲的生长速度，结果和坚韧度不一。有的指甲长得快，被修剪得也快(爱也匆匆，去也匆匆)。有的是经不起时间和环境就断了，有的先天性不足，指甲长不长(为了恋爱而去恋爱)。有的就修成正果(因为细水长流~~就如在下啦^_^)。十根手指，各有所长，结果如何，就要看个人造化。正所谓“师父引进门，修行在个人”。
最后来谈谈分手。有的是选择性的修剪指甲。技巧好，工具佳，快刀斩乱麻，干净利落，不会伤手指。分手分得干脆，对彼此都好。有的就害人害己，剪不断理还乱，伤了手指，也坏了器具。那些被劈腿的呢，就是指甲断裂，伤口比较难愈合，但始终能恢复原貌，船过了无痕。
