Brangelina babies’ first pics cost 14 million dollars to People Magazine. The pair, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, born by a Caesarean section on July 12 in Nice were featured on the mag cover cuddling with their famous parents. Weighing a healthy 5 pounds each the two little ones boost the Pitt-Jolie household to half a dozen in number, including Maddox, 6; Pax, 4, Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2. Brad Pitt calls his growing family “a cuckoo’s nest”. The doting parents are extremely glad that the twins have been welcomed with open arms by their siblings. “Zahara and Shiloh are like little mommies to the twins,” shares a happy Angelina Jolie.
Well to give you some facts, Brad makes 20 million dollars per movie while his better half walks away with a smooth 15-20 dollars for a flick. So, you can easily see what a huge figure the twins have earned with their first assignment. In fact, Shiloh’s first baby pics sold for just 4.1 million dollars while Pax’ made 2 million dollars. Brangelina intend to donate the first earnings of the newest additions of their family to charity.
All that is just so super good. But I wonder what the Brangelina household will be like once these kids grow up…identity crisis (C’mon the kids look just so different, how will they overcome their ethnicity)??? Who gets mommy’s attention the most (six is not a small number)? I think the famous couple should consider family planning…any takers?

A little butterfly on your butt line, a roaring tiger on your inner thigh or a sexy ballerina on your chest and the list continues…there’s no denying tattoos are invasive! A traditional body–art form which has adorned the burntsienna bodies of natives since time immemorial has become a big fad now-a-days. Thanks to its adoption by the fair skinned models and Angelina Jolie (in particular), tattooing has emerged from its low-art image to something which is a rage among teenagers, celebrities and those aiming-to-be fashionistas, alike!
Getting one on your body parts (read private parts or near-private parts) and exposing them is one trend which is now getting clichéd. So, what next? Get a tattoo on the most visible body part of yours – your Face! And be one more step bolder by getting a tattoo on your EYELIDS! Yes, eyelid tattooing and extreme face & body tattooing seem to be the latest trend these days. This is height of attention-grabbing tactics- an extra set of eyeballs above one’s eyelids! (Perhaps the person got inspired from some cheap horror movie and was desperate enough for the ‘extra’ thrill).
Tattoos as an art form are a very personalized expression of one’s angst (against society or one’s boss), amour, adventurous spirit, remembrances and what not. But getting one your eyelids or smothering your face with it, is the loudest of all messages you want to give. What kind of mental constitution a person would have if he/she comes to work, wearing an expletive tattooed on his/her forehead ? Would such individuals be allowed at work thereafter if they come with chess boards on their faces and Halloween masks on their shaven heads?
Of course it’s your body and you can get a tattoo any where on it. But, what concerns me more than the questions raised above (which I m sure will arise if extreme face tattooing becomes commonplace among literatis) is the health aspect. I’m horrified to even think about what all kinds of ill-effects such reckless tattooing can have on me (If in my insanity, I opt for it)? Many of the color pigments used for such colorful designs can be potentially carcinogenic. Unlike cosmetics, the chemical constituents of the dyes & colors used for tattooing are hardly known and analyzed for their side effects. Even tattoo manufacturers are ill-informed over the chemical composition of these coloring agents used to make brilliantly flashy and complex tattoos on their clients.
Chemical experts who have analyzed a variety of tattoo inks disclose that most of these pigments are highly impure industrial organic dyes which render your body parts (being tattooed) susceptible to dangerous microbial, fungal and bacterial infections! The latter which fall under the Transfusion-Transmitted-Diseases (TTD) category, can be life threatening even and especially in the case of pregnant ladies are very hazardous. One can even risk contracting Hepatitis from an infected needle (used to pierce and inject the pigment into skin).
Besides the risk of acquiring an allergic reaction and metal toxicity is always looming large because tattoo pigments contains metals like titanium, zinc, chromium, copper. Just imagine, how much vulnerable you are making yourself, by exposing your body to such toxic metals when you opt for tattooing. The pigments leach out from tattoo and get absorbed in your skin. These dyes further get deposited into the fat layers of your body and many are known to cause cancers of skin and other organs. So much so, for a mere fashion statement! Its time you think deeply over the issue before you decide to get an extreme facial or eyelid tattoo. A two minute craze might ruin your life forever!
