Kidnapped and sold into slavery, Angelique ended up in front of the Sultan. He looked her up and down, admiration clear to see in his eyes. She knew she would have to use her womanly wiles to escape and began a slow, sensual dance for his eyes only.

The IPA members and Photographers Advisory Board have awarded powerHouse Books – Darfur: Twenty Years of War and Genocide as Photography Book Publisher of the Year at The 5th Annual Lucie Awards. IPA awards Lucies to those in the creative community who are an integral part of crafting an image.
Edited by Leora Kahn
Photographs by Lynsey Addario, Pep Bonet, Colin Finlay, Ron Haviv, Olivier Jobard, Kadir van Lohuizen, Chris Steele Perkins, and Sven Torfinn Essays by Jonathan Alter, Larry Cox, Mia Farrow, Colin Finlay, Ryan Gosling, Nicholas D. Kristof, Susan Myers, and John Prendergast
Even by conservative estimates, the situation in the Darfur region of the Sudan is grave. There are 3.5 million people who are hungry, 2.5 million who have been displaced by violence, and 400,000 individuals who have died since the crisis began in 2003. The international community has failed to take steps to protect civilians, or to influence the Sudanese government to intervene. The spread of violence, rape, and hate-fueled killings across the border into Chad is simply the latest atrocity. Call it war. Call it genocide. Call it famine. There is no single word to describe the plight of these people. They face all of these horrors at once.
In answer, Proof: Media for Social Justice, Amnesty International, and the Holocaust Museum of Houston have partnered to create Darfur: Twenty Years of War and Genocide in Sudan. The book covers three periods in the Sudan crisis, including images shot in 1988, when an estimated 250,000 Sudanese died of starvation; images from 1992 and 1995 that capture the atrocities of a civil war, when hundreds of thousands fled their homes to other destinations in Sudan or left the country altogether; and images from 2005 and more recently, bringing to light the severity of the humanitarian crisis underway, with the Sudanese government and the Janjaweed militias committing systematic violence on the people of Darfur.
A handbook is included that provides website links and additional resources for readers to pursue. It specifies measures they can take to make their voices heard so the people of Darfur do not feel forgotten.
All proceeds from the book will benefit Amnesty International and Genocide Intervention Network.
Leora Kahn is a veteran photography editor who has worked on books, magazines, television, and documentaries. She was the editor of When They Came to Take My Father: Voices of the Holocaust (Arcade, 1996), the photo editor of Shooting Under Fire (Artisan, 2002) by Peter Howe, an executive producer of the documentary Renee and I, and co-producer of Original Intent, a documentary on the Supreme Court. She heads the photography department at Workman Publishing and is the founder of Proof: Media for Social Justice, a nonprofit organization that works for human rights with photography.
Darfur: Twenty Years of War and Genocide in Sudan features the work of eight prominent photographers from Magnum Photos, VII, Sipa Press, Panos, and Vu who have covered the struggle in Sudan for the last two decades. Its writers include Jonathan Alter, a journalist for Newsweek and NBC News; Larry Cox, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA; Mia Farrow is an award-winning actress who has been a UNICEF Good Will Ambassador since 2001; Ryan Gosling, a young actor who most recently stared in Half Nelson; Nicholas D. Kristof, a Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist for The New York Times and previously its bureau chief in several countries; Susan Myers is Executive Director of the Holocaust Museum Houston; and John Prendergast, a Senior Adviser at the International Crisis Group and well known writer.

Wheeler County, Texas, circa 1916;
My grandparents, Walter and Addie Simpson, resided in Wheeler County, Texas from 1916 to 1919.
Their son, Leslie, was born here in July, 1916. Leslie was named for an uncle, Leslie F. Simpson.
A few months later, Leslie F. drove from Clovis, New Mexico to Wheeler County, to visit with Walter and Addie.
Walter's sister, Mabelle, and Leslie's wife, Ora accompanied Leslie on the trip.

The first lady in this photo, on the left, is Mabelle Simpson.
The man is Leslie F. Simpson, and next to him is Ora holding Leslie.
The lady on the right is Addie Simpson.
The car appears to be a 1915 Model T Touring car.

Hope you like it! Her outfit came out looking a bit odd in this pic, but I new it would come out shiney in the water :) I know it's a tiny bit blurry, but I meant it to be a little because I thought it looked good with the shot and underwater theme.
I think Leora did great!

So the theme this week was 'Masquerade'. I have once done a theme like in this in someone's BNTM, but I decided to do something completely different! I don't think it looks bad.
The mask was handmade. (:
Here, Leora's laying down on feathers <33
Hope you like it babeyys. xxxxx
Hope you like it! I wanted her to look like she was actually walking on a runway :)
I did her hair in a braided updo (you can't see here but I braided her hair then twisted it up into a bun.) and a side braid. I wanted to make her hair look kind of high fashion, and I did a bit bolder makeup to keep with the theme! :D

I hope everyone is having a really happy Holiday Season this year!!
I had a great time tonight watching Leora and Zach preform their music in front of a small crowd.. Baby Quinn came and Lynn and Quinn was dressed in his Santa outfit. So festive!
So I went through of these, I have to admit my first one was a really nice experience and I was so dedicated but unfortunately the contestants went. The 2nd and 3rd try I feel like I wasn't giving it my all so now I though I needed to make at least one good one both from me and the contestants. So it's here, cycle 4!!
This contest will be held here and on my new youtube account:
I want this to come out well so I'm going to actually make a set of rules
1. This is a Bratz Next Top Model, meaning that I only want Bratz dolls and I only want them on their short bodies.
2. This is going to be totally unbiased, that means if I had a problem with you before it won't affect you in any way, same with if you are my friend.
3. This contest will be totally based on the photos you give to THIS competition. Therefore if you usually have bad photos in your photostream but you hand in an amazing Audition then those other photos will not affect you in any way (same thing with good photos/bad audition)
4. I don't want any whining about placings and don't cause too much drama.
5. If people use the same doll, both will not go through. The better photo will win (only if both photos were good enough to get in of course)
6. Have Fun!
Rules for Audition:
1. Wear all black, anything will work, from top hats to black sandals (but make it work ;)
2. You can have anything black and minor little details that aren't black don't really don't bother me, just nothing major.
3. You get the idea, white background but not edited (If it's not purely white it's fine, it's the model I'm judging not the background).
4. Full Body! Nothing cut off
Prizes (sort of like whatever everyone else is giving out)
- A contract with WORLD models
- A cover of WORLD magazine
- A multiple page spread on my photostream in WORLD
- A doll prize of some sort
I will choose 12-14 contestants so this will be very very selective. Me and my panel of secret judges (don't worry they don't know much about the bratz community, but appreciate photos) will choose by looking very closely at the photos handed in. If it comes down to where we need to choose between 3 photos we will choose the most unique or different model (keep that in mind).
I hope everyone joins, and remember EVERYONE has a chance!
Auditions are closed March 20th
If you need help or aren't sure of your audition. Message me :)

Although it is perhaps not commonly thought of as a painful foot problem, dry skin on your feet can be quite uncomfortable and can actually lead to full-blown foot pain. This article offers some easy ways to soothe the situation.
Some people suffer dry skin all their lives. Others acquire it as they age and the body begins to lose its natural elasticity and moisture. This change affects the feet as well as the rest of the body. In fact, feet are among the body parts most likely to have dry skin. Left untreated, dry skin can crack and become painful. This is especially true for the skin on the backs of the heels (which rubs against shoe heels) and under the toes.
Xeroderma is a mild dry-skin condition that stems from a seasonal decrease in humidity. It most often affects older people (whose skin naturally has less moisture than that of younger people) during the wintertime. Severe dry-skin conditions include eczema and psoriasis, both of which are rashes that are scabby and very itchy and that can show up all over the body, including on the feet. If they occur between toes and cause the skin to crack, they can make walking painful. Chronic dry, cracked skin, especially around the edges of the heel, can even be a warning sign of a thyroid disorder or diabetes.
Take whatever everyday precautions you can to slow this loss of body moisture. For example:
- Avoid wearing shoes without socks or wearing backless shoes, both of which can cause or worsen dry skin.
- Use a humidifier in your home.
- Shower in lukewarm or cool, not hot, water. If you prefer baths, use bath oil, but use caution when getting in or out of the tub.
- Don't bathe too frequently (no more than once a day), because over-cleaning the skin robs it of some of its natural moisture.
- Avoid harsh deodorant soaps.
- Soak your feet in water for about 20 minutes; apply moisturizer.
- If you suffer from eczema, psoriasis, or another more serious skin condition, see a doctor about what ointments might work best for you.
Soothing Solutions
To soften skin, try this special recipe once a week:
1. Crush six aspirin tablets and mix them with a tablespoon each of water and lemon juice to make a paste.
2. Apply the paste to callused spots and dry skin on both feet.
3. Place each foot in a plastic bag; wrap a warm towel around each.
4. Sit with your feet wrapped and elevated for 10 minutes.
5. Remove the towels and bags, and scrub any rough, dry spots with a pumice stone. At this point, the dead skin should be soft and loose enough to come off.
You can also use moisturizing cream, rather than aspirin paste, in a different version of this routine. Apply the cream right before you go to bed, and then cover your feet with plastic wrap. Sleep with your feet elevated on a pillow, and don't remove the wrap until morning. (Be careful not to wrap the plastic so tightly that it restricts circulation.)
Another home recipe for softening dry skin is to soak your feet in a very diluted solution of water and chamomile tea. Afterward, wash your feet with soap and water to remove the tea stains. Then, apply moisturizer.
Of course, any kind of footbath will help to soften dry skin. Just be sure to apply moisturizer immediately after soaking. A towel wrap can help fight dry skin and relax tired muscles, too. Just wrap each foot in a dry towel, then wrap a towel that has been soaked in hot water around the dry towel. Add two or three layers, alternating dry towels with wet, hot towels; finish with a dry towel. Keep the towels on for 20 minutes. Then, apply moisturizer.

Although it is perhaps not commonly thought of as a painful foot problem, dry skin on your feet can be quite uncomfortable and can actually lead to full-blown foot pain. This article offers some easy ways to soothe the situation.
Some people suffer dry skin all their lives. Others acquire it as they age and the body begins to lose its natural elasticity and moisture. This change affects the feet as well as the rest of the body. In fact, feet are among the body parts most likely to have dry skin. Left untreated, dry skin can crack and become painful. This is especially true for the skin on the backs of the heels (which rubs against shoe heels) and under the toes.
Xeroderma is a mild dry-skin condition that stems from a seasonal decrease in humidity. It most often affects older people (whose skin naturally has less moisture than that of younger people) during the wintertime. Severe dry-skin conditions include eczema and psoriasis, both of which are rashes that are scabby and very itchy and that can show up all over the body, including on the feet. If they occur between toes and cause the skin to crack, they can make walking painful. Chronic dry, cracked skin, especially around the edges of the heel, can even be a warning sign of a thyroid disorder or diabetes.
Take whatever everyday precautions you can to slow this loss of body moisture. For example:
- Avoid wearing shoes without socks or wearing backless shoes, both of which can cause or worsen dry skin.
- Use a humidifier in your home.
- Shower in lukewarm or cool, not hot, water. If you prefer baths, use bath oil, but use caution when getting in or out of the tub.
- Don't bathe too frequently (no more than once a day), because over-cleaning the skin robs it of some of its natural moisture.
- Avoid harsh deodorant soaps.
- Soak your feet in water for about 20 minutes; apply moisturizer.
- If you suffer from eczema, psoriasis, or another more serious skin condition, see a doctor about what ointments might work best for you.
Soothing Solutions
To soften skin, try this special recipe once a week:
1. Crush six aspirin tablets and mix them with a tablespoon each of water and lemon juice to make a paste.
2. Apply the paste to callused spots and dry skin on both feet.
3. Place each foot in a plastic bag; wrap a warm towel around each.
4. Sit with your feet wrapped and elevated for 10 minutes.
5. Remove the towels and bags, and scrub any rough, dry spots with a pumice stone. At this point, the dead skin should be soft and loose enough to come off.
You can also use moisturizing cream, rather than aspirin paste, in a different version of this routine. Apply the cream right before you go to bed, and then cover your feet with plastic wrap. Sleep with your feet elevated on a pillow, and don't remove the wrap until morning. (Be careful not to wrap the plastic so tightly that it restricts circulation.)
Another home recipe for softening dry skin is to soak your feet in a very diluted solution of water and chamomile tea. Afterward, wash your feet with soap and water to remove the tea stains. Then, apply moisturizer.
Of course, any kind of footbath will help to soften dry skin. Just be sure to apply moisturizer immediately after soaking. A towel wrap can help fight dry skin and relax tired muscles, too. Just wrap each foot in a dry towel, then wrap a towel that has been soaked in hot water around the dry towel. Add two or three layers, alternating dry towels with wet, hot towels; finish with a dry towel. Keep the towels on for 20 minutes. Then, apply moisturizer.
