Ready for the Weekend: Pointy Flats

There's no need to wear heels all the time. When Saturday rolls around, the last thing I want to think about is putting on a pair of uncomfy shoes. That's just torture. So I found the perfect flats to slip on and go.

These Printed Pointy Flats are my new fav weekend shoes. The outside is completely pony hair, so it's super soft. The inside of the flat is faux suede and padded for extra comfort... that way when you're walking around at the Farmer's Market on a Sunday morning, your feet won't be aching. Ooo, and these darlings come in four funky colors and prints- black and white, leopard, red dots, and adorable navy dots. Now you can relax in style.

Dear Fairy Model Mother: Should I Get Back In the Game?

Hello, lovelies! How's life? Lately I've been running into a lot of old friends that I haven't seen in a while at castings and auditions. It's so awesome to see a familiar face when you walk into a casting office. It really puts me at ease. Anyway, a week ago I ran into a breathtakingly hot model-actor guy I've known for years. We're chatting and he says "You know, I stopped modeling over a year ago. I don't even have a print agent anymore." I'm sorry. Say what?! How is it that this super-talented, drop-dead gorgeous man who's done countless campaigns and commercials doesn't have print representation! Obviously, there's more to this...

After hearing my friend utter these words, I was floored. He explained that he'd been represented in all the major markets and done his fair share of traveling. But after being in the business for a bit, he started to grow weary. Modeling for him was a no-brainer. He could do it in his sleep. My boy longed for a challenge. He's a not just a pretty face, but a great musician and a legit actor. One day while on contract in Miami, he had an epiphany. It was literally that "What the f*** am I doing with my life" moment. So he pulled the plug on his modeling career.

I totally get it. When you need a change, you have to do it. But here's my thing, if you've got the look then you should always have someone out there making deals on your behalf. Even if modeling isn't something you want to do full time anymore, having an agent doesn't hurt your situation... it makes things better. I really feel like as a model who knows how the game is played, the longer you stay in it the more control you have over your career. You can tell your agent you only want direct bookings or specify the clients you want to work with. And that's exactly what I told my friend. To be more specific, I told him that any agent would be crazy not to represent him. The ball is in his court. He's totally bankable.

Don't waste your talents, darlings. Cash in. As always... if you need any advice, your Fairy Model Mother is here. Just drop me a line, and I've got you!

Killing It!

The verdict is in. Yesterday I watched the Oscars with my girl Taye of Stuff She Likes. We often disagreed with the E! style commentary about who's dress looked great and who looked all wrong. But we all agreed on one thing... Charlize Theron looked white hot!

This woman looks phenomenal. When she stepped onto the red carpet, all eyes were on her and all mouths instantly dropped. Charlize is an angelic vision. Simple makeup. Short, golden hair. And that white Dior Couture gown. Charlize is knocking 'em dead. Now that's how you work the Oscars. Everyone else, please take notes.

Chime in: who was your best and worst dressed at this year's Academy Awards?

Beauty Blast: Rose-Colored Lips

Photography by Jenn Hoffman, Makeup by Leslie Rodriguez

Classic and gorgeous. A bold lip is one of the simplest beauty statements a woman can make. I used to be afraid of drawing attention to my lips. I felt like a clown with way too much makeup on, but then I realized the power of a bold color. It speaks volumes without you even having to say a word. When it's done right, you don't really need anything else on your face. To achieve this look, I hooked up with makeup artist extraordinaire Leslie Rodriguez. Here are her tips to get the perfect rose-colored lip...

What you'll need: MAC's lipstick in Rebel and lip liner in Burgundy

"If you're a little hesitant to dive into such a bold color, there are a few steps to ease into it. Your first day, you can use it as a stain by applying with your finger lightly to your lips and a little bit of lip balm. On your second day you can use the lipstick directly on your lips. Once you get acquainted with having a darker color on, add a liner to get the complete look. On Nikia we filled in the lips with the liner and applied the lip color with a lip brush.

This rosy lip is so easy and looks fantastic on any woman. Getting this look should take less than five minutes, but will last all day. For extra glam appleal make sure you line your line your upper lip to accentuate your Cupid's bow. It's one of the sexiest parts of your face. You'll be breaking hearts left and right.

Pucker up: Are there any bold colors you want to wear, but are nervous to try?

HOWTO : Highest secured Hiawatha Web Server 8.8 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server

Hiawatha is a very secure and fast web server in the market. It supports PHP, Perl, Python and Ruby. It is also very lightweight, easy to configure and setup too. How secure? Please refer to the features of Hiawatha.

For the performance, please refer to the study of SaltwaterC at here.

This tutorial is writing for setting up the highest secured web server. Please also to apply the "Optional" steps mentioned below for making the highest secured web server.

Prerequisite

Select OpenSSH and Mail Server when installing Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS.

Update the fresh install system to the latest status.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Select unattendance update to your system. It will push all the updates to your system when there is some. Or, you can create a cron job later to update your system in a certain of time if you prefer.

If the kernel or kernel modules have been updated, you are required to reboot your system before going further.

Step 1 - Installation of PHP5

sudo apt-get install php5-cgi php5 php5-cli php5-mysql php5-curl php5-gd php5-intl php-pear php5-imagick php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-ming php5-ps php5-pspell php5-recode php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-tidy php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl php5-xcache php5-suhosin php5-ffmpeg apache2-utils php5-fpm

Step 1a - Installation of Percona Server (MySQL Alternative)

To use Percona Server instead of MySQL is due to the performance.

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 1C4CBDCDCD2EFD2A
gpg -a --export CD2EFD2A | sudo apt-key add -

sudo nano /etc/apt/source.list.d/percona.list

deb http://repo.percona.com/apt precise main
deb-src http://repo.percona.com/apt precise main

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install percona-server-server-5.5 percona-server-client-5.5

Step 2 - Installation of Hiawatha

Install required dependenices for Hiawatha.

sudo apt-get install libc6-dev libssl-dev dpkg-dev debhelper fakeroot libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

Download the latest version of CMake at http://www.cmake.org/

wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.10.2.tar.gz
tar -xvzf cmake-2.8.10.2.tar.gz
cd cmake-2.8.10.2
./configure
make
sudo make install

Download the latest version of Hiawatha (the current version at this writing is 8.8).

wget http://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/files/hiawatha-8.8.tar.gz
tar -xzvf hiawatha-8.8.tar.gz
cd hiawatha-8.8/extra

./make_debian_package

cd ..

sudo dpkg -i hiawatha_8.8_amd64.deb

or

sudo dpkg -i hiawatha_8.8_i386.deb

Step 3 - Configure PHP5

The following settings are for making PHP5 more secure.

sudo nano /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini

Make changes as is.

cgi.rfc2616_headers = 1

zlib.output_compression = On
zlib.output_compression_level = 6

Step 3a - Configure PHP5 (Optional for security purpose)

display_errors = Off
log_errors = On
allow_url_fopen = Off
safe_mode = On
expose_php = Off
enable_dl = Off
session.cookie_httponly = 1
disable_functions = system, show_source, symlink, exec, dl, shell_exec, passthru, phpinfo, escapeshellarg, escapeshellcmd
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0

*** According to the author of Hiawatha, the cgi.fix_pathinfo should be set to 0 at this moment.

*** There will be something at the end of "disable_functions" at Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, you just append the captioned list to the end of the previous list.

*** some PHP applications may require safe_mode = off

Step 4 - Configure php-fpm

Append the following to the php-fpm.conf.

sudo nano /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf

[www]
user = www-data
group = www-data
listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
pm = static
pm.max_children = 100
chroot = /var/www/
chdir = /

Step 5 - Configure Hiawatha (Part 1)

sudo nano /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf

Uncomment ServerId at GENERAL SETTINGS.

ServerId = www-data

Uncomment the following entries at BINDING SETTINGS.

Binding {
   Port = 80
#   Interface = 127.0.0.1
   MaxKeepAlive = 30
   TimeForRequest = 3,20
}

Step 5a (Optional for security purpose) :

Add the following line at the GENERAL SETTINGS.

ConnectionsTotal = 1000
ConnectionsPerIP = 30
SystemLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/system.log
GarbageLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/garbage.log
ExploitLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/exploit.log

LogFormat = extended
ServerString = Apache
CGIwrapper = /usr/sbin/cgi-wrapper

Make changes for the following entries at BANNING SETTINGS.

BanOnGarbage = 300
BanOnMaxPerIP = 300
BanOnMaxReqSize = 300
BanOnTimeout = 300
KickOnBan = yes
RebanDuringBan = yes

BanOnDeniedBody = 300
BanOnSQLi = 300
BanOnFlooding = 30/1:300
BanlistMask = deny 192.168.0.0/24, deny 127.0.0.1
BanOnInvalidURL = 300

ReconnectDelay = 3
#Reverse Proxy
HideProxy = 127.0.0.1
MaxServerLoad = 0.8

Step 5b :

The entries at COMMON GATEWAY INTERFACE (CGI) SETTINGS should be looking like this.

CGIhandler = /usr/bin/perl:pl
CGIhandler = /usr/bin/php5-cgi:php
CGIhandler = /usr/bin/python:py
CGIhandler = /usr/bin/ruby:rb
CGIhandler = /usr/bin/ssi-cgi:shtml
CGIextension = cgi

FastCGIserver {
   FastCGIid = PHP5
   ConnectTo = 127.0.0.1:9000
   Extension = php, php5
   SessionTimeout = 30
}

Step 5c :

Add the following line at VIRTUAL HOSTS.

Include /etc/hiawatha/enable-sites/

*Make sure the make a directory enable-sites and disable-sites under /etc/hiawatha.

sudo mkdir /etc/hiawatha/enable-sites
sudo mkdir /etc/hiawatha/disable-sites

Step 6 - Configure Hiawatha (Part 2)

If your domain is mysite.com, you are required to create a file namely mysite.com and place it under /etc/hiawatha/enable-sites/mysite.com.



*** You can ignore the "DenyBot" entries when you want the search engines to find your site easily.

*** If you do not implement "Step 7" below, please do not add "WrapCGI = Jail_mysite".

*** "PreventSQLi" is set to "yes" when your web application is vulnerable to SQL Injection and you cannot fix it at the moment.

Furthermore, if you want to disable this virtual site, you can move the "mysite.com" to /etc/hiawatha/disable-sites/ and then restart hiawatha server.

sudo mv /etc/hiawatha/enable-sites/mysite.com /etc/hiawatha/disable-sites/
sudo /etc/init.d/hiawatha restart

Step 7 - Configure Hiawatha (Part 3) (Optional for security purpose)

sudo nano /etc/hiawatha/cgi-wrapper.conf

CGIhandler = /usr/bin/perl
CGIhandler = /usr/bin/php5-cgi
CGIhandler = /usr/bin/python
CGIhandler = /usr/bin/ruby
CGIhandler = /usr/bin/ssi-cgi

Wrap = jail_mysite ; /var/www/mysite ; www-data:www-data

Step 8 - Configure Apparmor (Optional for security purpose)

Install the following packages :

sudo apt-get install apparmor-profiles apparmor-utils

Execute the following command and then let the web site running for a while, maybe a week or so.

sudo aa-genprof hiawatha

About one week later or the web page/site is misbehaving, issue the following command to update the profile. Remember to reload the profile after the command has been issued.

sudo aa-logprof

Or, if you are impatient, you can edit the following file instead.

sudo nano /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.hiawatha

The content of usr.sbin.hiawatha should look like this or make it look like this.



Make the profile in enforce mode (activate the above settings).

sudo aa-enforce hiawatha

If you have change some settings, you should reload the profile.

sudo apparmor_parser -r < /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.hiawatha

If you want to disable this profile.

sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.hiawatha /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
sudo apparmor_parser -R < /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.hiawatha

If you want to re-enable this profile after it has been disabled.

sudo rm /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.sbin.hiawatha
sudo apparmor_parser -r < /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.hiawatha

Step 9 - Enhance the security of cgi-wrapper (Optional for security purpose)

Now, your hiawatha is very secure but I would like to make it more secure.

sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin

Apply Capabilities on cgi-wrapper.

sudo chmod u-s /usr/sbin/cgi-wrapper
sudo setcap cap_setgid,cap_setuid+ep /usr/sbin/cgi-wrapper

The result of getcap :

sudo getcap /usr/sbin/cgi-wrapper

It will display :
/usr/sbin/cgi-wrapper = cap_setgid,cap_setuid+ep

Step 10 - Configure logwatch (Optional)

Please refer to this link to make the LogWatch to know your Hiawatha webserver's log files.

Please make sure to re-do this step when the logwatch is updated or upgraded as it will overwrite the configure file.

Step 11 - Change the ownership of the log files

cd /var/log/hiawatha
sudo chown www-data:www-data access.log
sudo chown www-data:www-data error.log
sudo chown www-data:www-data exploit.log
sudo chown www-data:www-data garbage.log
sudo chown root:root system.log

* "php-fcgi.log" and "system.log" leave them untouched (root:root).

Step 11a - Change ownership of all directories and files at the /var/www/mysite

Put the web application files to /var/www/mysite and then change the ownership of all directories and files under /var/www/mysite to root:root.

cd /var/www/mysite
sudo chown -R root:root *

Step 12 - Start, Stop and Restart Hiawatha

sudo /etc/init.d/hiawatha start
sudo /etc/init.d/hiawatha stop
suod /etc/init.d/hiawatha restart

Step 13 - Performance tuning for MySQL or Percona Server (Optional)

You can fine tune the MySQL as per this link.

Step 14 - Secure your Ubuntu Server in a passive way (Optional)

Please refer to this link to secure your server in a passive way.

Step 15 - Setup a FTP server on Ubuntu Server (Optional)

This link shows you how to setup a vsFTPd server.

Step 16 - URL Rewrite rules (Optional)

For the url rewrite rules for your PHP applications, please refer to this link

Make sure you add "UseToolkit" at the VirtualHost section.

Step 17 - Send email to GMail via Postfix (Optional)

Please refer to this link

Step 18 - Create normal user for MySQL or MariaDB as well as Percona Server (Optional)

Please refer to this link

Remarks :

If you encounter "500 Internal Server Error", you may consider to make the Apparmor to "Complain mode".

sudo aa-complain hiawatha

After several days browsing the website, you may consider to turn the Apparmor to "Enforce mode".

sudo aa-logprof

sudo aa-enforce hiawatha

It is because the captioned usr.sbin.hiawatha may not 100% work for you.

In order to further hardened your Hiawatha web server, please consider the following options :

Optional #1 :

For SSH connection security, you also may consider to implement the Port Knocking feature.

sudo apt-get install knockd

Optional #2 :

You may also consider to enable your firewall at your router or on the Hiawatha Web Server with UFW.

If ufw does not exist in your server, you can install it :

sudo apt-get install ufw

Optional #3 :

Consider to install Suricata IPS on your server.

That's all! See you.

All You Need Is... The Love Mob

Happy Valentine's Day, lovelies. Instead of being super cliché, I figured now's the perfect time to share something dear to my heart. A few months ago an enormous concept was born. Get a group of people together to spread a message to the community and hopefully that message will spread to others in need. The focus of that gathering would simply revolve around one word: love.

We often take love for granted. We forget that it's not just a feeling, but a verb. Love isn't always about romance or passion, but it's about actively caring about your fellow humans. There are people who rarely get to experience it, so the Love Mob was created to remind us all that love exists. Here's how it works...
Through acts of kindness and large public celebrations, the Love Mob reaches out and helps people. It's truly an uplifting experience. Preston, Allison, Mustafa and the whole crew are the most awesome people for uniting us for a great cause. Find out how you can be a part of the movement and spread love wherever you go. Join the Love Mob now. Sharing is caring.

P.S. If you're in LA this weekend, come out to Skid Row and lend a hand. We're meeting just before noon on San Julian. Bring some goodies to donate and bring a friend too. One love!

On Fire: Geometric Lace Bra & Knickers

This may be a bit intimate, but I figured I'd share it anyway. My lingerie is straight up boring. There's no color, no fun, and no va va voom. Because my job requires me to wear undies that won't distract from the clothes I'm modeling, most of my undergarments are nude, black, and blah. Deep down inside I know that I'm a sexy minx, so why not fully embrace that in this naughty lace set.

Oftentimes ladies get new lingerie on Valentine's Day from a boyfriend, husband, or boy toy. But why wait for a man to get you what you want? This triangle shaped bra with matching panties are perfectly priced for the frugal fashionista at only $36 for the set. Delicate lace detailing with a contrasting black band combine to make this look sweet and spicy. I can just imagine wearing this and dancing around my apartment while I make sexy faces in the mirror. I don't need an audience. On second thought, if you're cute, witty, and happen to appreciate my silly dance moves, you're welcome to watch. But don't kill my vibe. So back to these lacey knickers, you know what to do...

My Style: Soda Fountain Sweetie

Gimme a chocolate milkshake with a cherry on top and a side a fries. Sometimes I wish I'd been a teenager in the 50s so I could hang out with all the cool kids at the diner or catch a movie at the drive-in with my high school beau. Isn't that swell?!

If Rosie the Riveter were a 21st century gal, I think she'd dress pretty much like this. Denim jumpsuit with a cute pair of peep-toe wedges. Super funky reptile print nail wraps. Glossy tangerine lips with a teal cat eye. Finish it off with all the colors of the world around my neck. I'm international, baby.


Shot in and around Old Towne Pasadena on a perfect sunny afternoon. Thanks to the good folks at Johnny Rockets for letting us hang out. The shake and fries hit the spot. Shout out to my girl Nelly for hooking up the photography once again. That girl's got talent.

My Style: Straight Chillin'

It's not always about labels or being flashy. A great outfit can be simple and a little boyish but still be fabulous. Although this look was created by a stylist, it's exactly what I'd wear.

The Look
Jacket: Stylist's own (similar)
Jeans: Levi's
Skull Cap: Borrowed from Photographer (similar)
Sunglasses: AJ Morgan "Outer Limits"
This is for those chilly mornings when you just want to grab a cup of coffee but you're not caring what you put on. Or those cloudy days when you just want to blend into the grey skies. Subtle details like studded shoulders on a double-breasted jacket paired with vintage-like white frames can really make a statement.

I like to think of this look as Model Liberation goes starboard side even though it was shot on a rooftop in the middle of the city. It's so relaxed, but I'm still taking command of this style. Oh Captain, my Captain!

Run Around Town Like A Model

You wake up in the morning to multiple emails from your agent about castings, castings, and more castings. Get ready for a crazy, busy day! You have to leave your apartment in t minus 30 minutes and you've got to appear like you're ready to conquer the world. Your outfit has to be on point. Your skin must look impeccable. Oh and even if you were out late last night, you'd better look fresh as a daisy. It may sound like Mission:Impossible, but plenty of working models do this on a regular basis and look flawless. Besides being born with great genes, every model has tricks that help her or him keep up appearances throughout the day. Want to know some secrets? Listen up.

Whether I'm New York, Milan, or LA, it's always the same story. I'm criss-crossing the city trying to make it to every casting or audition I possibly can to book a job. When I leave my place in the morning, there's no guarantee I'll be able to come back between appointments. So I have to pack for the day and pack light. I'm like Mary Poppins when it comes to my model bag. I've got a toothbrush and toothpaste, my beauty kit, a little black dress, heels, a bikini, my iPad, the kitchen sink. You never know exactly what you'll need for the day, so you have to take almost everything. Make sure your beauty kit includes makeup wipes, moisturizer, eye cream, concealer, blush, and mascara. It never fails, halfway through my adventure I'll start to look tired. That's when I wipe off all the grime and start anew. Refrain from piling on the makeup. It will only make your face look weighed down. Keep it light by adding a little concealer or eye brightener for your peepers and add a pop of color on your cheeks. You'll go from looking old and haggard to young and fresh.
Another thing you've got to think about before you embark on your day is what are you going to wear? I always check the wardrobe notes on my castings and go for an outfit that's neutral. You want something that shows off your body but nothing that's too sexy. My model uniform is a pair of skinny black jeans, a white or grey tank, and black boots. I always layer with a leather jacket or a button-up shirt or maybe both for cooler days. Stray away from too many accessories and super bright colors unless your agent instructs you otherwise. You don't want to wear anything that will distract clients and take the focus away from your pretty face. Check the mirror before walking out the door. If you're looking more like Gaga and less like Kate Moss, then you need to cut it back.

When you're a working model or actress, every single day is a chance to book a campaign or commercial that could make your career. Don't let your dreams slip away from you because you're tired of the hustle. Go to every casting you can. Seize those opportunities by looking your best and being ready for a challenge. Keep your look simple and polished. Pack whatever tools you need for success. And don't let anything slow you down on your mission. I know it seems like I'm screaming out commands, but I'm so excited for what you actually will achieve. You are a shooting star, and I can't wait to see you take off. Zoom!
