Tickle Me Pink

Let's face it, ladies: Landcapes get boring after a while, especially if you don't have a 10 billion dollar camera or whatever. So how can we make ordinary shots of the world around us look more exciting? That's right: By photoshopping them! Yay, let's start!

As always, I'm editing in Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Mac). These instructions work with any version of Photoshop CS, and there are only minor changes for Photoshop Elements. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

{Essential instructions are in bold.}

{Ignore the copius spelling errors.}

We are going to turn this average landscape into a golden wonderland place!

**When choosing a photo to stylize, make sure that it's averagely lit, well-framed, and fairly clear. Your 'scape doesn't need to look like this, but make sure that the following techniques will be useful for your own picture.

Step One: The Warm-Up…

I'm sitting here, wearing the Aeropostle shirt my cousin got me.

And listening to Envy On The Coast.

Now, I'm not a big fan of having nam bands splashed across the front of my shirt, but the shirt is cute and comfy and that's a good enough reason for me to wear it.

Have people seen me in the shirt?

Yes, yes they have.

Because I am not going to let the music I listen to define what I should wear. Nor am I going to let the clothes I wear define what I should listen to.

If a shirt is cute and comfy and something I'll wear more then once, then I'll wear it.

If a  band is catchy and I like them and they don't make me grind my teeth, then I'll listen to them.

I'm not big on putting down an Aeropostle wearing girl when I find out that she listens to BLG, ATL, The Maine,…

We asked you to pull out your creepiest tales for AFI and, in return, you'd receive a G10 camera full of images taken by the band themselves. We're happy to announce that we've chosen a winner, who will receive a (slightly used) Canon G10 and a memory card full of photos of AFI. Find out who won and get a preview of the images you'll get to see throughout the week.

You can find out who won the AFIles contest inside...

Winner: Creppin802

GREEN TEA =

Its so cold here. I want to move to L.A

Old industrial zone in Mexico city. Lots of photo ops.

High school is a very scaring thing; new people, bigger experiences, and peer pressure. Everyone changes and sometimes it's in a way that you don't expect. But when you're the only one not changing, you feel left in the dark.
14 years old, never had a boyfriend, and not experienced in any sexual manner what-so-ever. That would describe me down to the tee. The girl who is jokingly made fun of by her friends for having no sex-related stories to share at sleepovers and no juice gossip to spill. That would also describe me.
But why does everyone make such a big deal about it when someone hasn't done anything? Has it really come down to it that if you haven't had sex or anything close that you instantly become the butt of everyones jokes? Even my best friends have poked fun at me for being the "virgin", all the…
