Hollywood is the birthplace of all things a few nuts short of a full packet, I reckon. Then again, what would you expect when the whole place is literally a freak show when it comes to physical pursuits of perfection. That's what happens with you fill a town with superstars who are paid ridiculous amounts of money to look good. Acting abilities are often secondary. Witness Hayden Christensen. Nuff said. *snigger*
In this town, people go to great lengths to look perfect. Rumour has it Posh Spice eats nothing but Edamame beans and drinks seaweed shakes all day to stay lithe. And Madonna, before she mysteriously picked up a British accent, used to run something like 5 miles every morning to look half her age. And don't even start on Botox. Half the international supply of Botox probably ends up there.
Naturally, in a town so obsessed with being stick thin, sun-kissed and with abs to die for, it's perhaps no surprise that Hollywood is also the birthplace of most crash diets. The Emily Diet was one of them, thanks to it's international debut on The Devil Wears Prada. I know at least ONE person who religiously follows of this diet. OK. Maybe not religiously religiously. Only when there's a wedding to attend. *snigger*. Effective and insane in equal measure, the Emily Diet however, has a new nemesis: The Cupcake Diet. I Shit you not.
So here's the low-down on the new-fangled diet. You eat up to 4 cupcakes a day followed by a high protein meal. Pounds will, allegedly, literally melt off your body. Posh Spice is already on it, and so is Heidi Klum. Though it must be said that Courtney Love tried the diet and gained 10lbs instead.
Ignoring Courtney for a moment - imagine that - four cupcakes a day. And you lose weight. *snigger*. Like totally. Oh.My.Gawd. That's like the perfect diet. I love cupcakes. In all shapes and sizes. Dripping with butter cream and icing sugar. I could SOOOO do this. One can't help but wonder if it'll turn this Nut into this:
Shawn Ashmore. If you're wondering" who the fish is THAT?" - remember Iceman from X-Men? He's growing up rather nicely, this young man. Already full of twinky goodness *snigger*
So yeah. Cupcakes anyone?

Morning!
What will they think of next?
Typo alert!! Spot the typo...
ooh! I'm first today...
A Typo? On Life Liberty? Oh the horror! :P
Morning everyone!
What typo? Can't find la angie
Good Morning Malaysia! ;)
Cupcakes are the new black, dah-ling - haha.
It's the hottest new thing here in SF too. The town can't seem to get enough of it.
Though as effective as this diet may be, Nut, I hate to tell you that I seriously doubt you'd turn into a twink. Not at any rate - LOL
2nd sentence : "persuits"
How do you lose weight eating all that sugar-laden, butter filled yummilicious things?
Is that the only meal you are supposed to have for the day?
OMG... speel the wrong?????
The other half of the Botox supply goes to Brazil..or you can try a local (read selangor) version of botox..tempe! So claims the former MB..heh.
I don't like cupcakes..
Typo? Oh puh-leese...where got?
*log in >> edit posts >> spellcheck* Hur hur
Was having an Oxford day, ASD :P
Pardon the pommy - What's "tempe"?
Oxford day? LOL
Tempe is a kind of fermented beancurd..it's food. But apparently it's as good as botox.
So you....inject it instead of eating it?
Nope,I think you apply it onto your face like a mask..that's what he claims he uses lar, amidst all that botox rumour.
At the risk of making all poms sound like absolute sods:
You can ferment beancurd? Isn't beancurd already fermented from soy bean extract?
if you had fermented beancurd on your face.. wont matter what you looked like... no one would come near you... hahah...
Putting fermented food on your face?
Yuck. I'd rather slice a few cucumbers and be done with it :P
I'll stick to botox :P
Tempe on my face? Ew. Gross
Yea, I think they leave the bean curd to ferment longer.Oh, someone go Wiki it..ASD?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempeh
Or use cum. :D
Ew. Anon. Gross.
OK. Gross as it is. Got a question. Does it really work?
It's perhaps a little worrying that you're actually asking that question, Asha. :P
You try and see la, asha :P
hee hee
Euuw Anon..Asha, I think this is more of an urban legend lar..
Morning!
Cupcake diet? As in you're only allowed to eat up to 4 cupcakes :-
(1) THE WHOLE DAY!??!?!?!!!!; or
(2) for every meal, say 6 times a day...
Cause if it's No. 2, I'm in! a dozen of them walnutty ones and a dozen of them cheesy rainbow ones pls :D:D:D
Nut Nut ... which mag you got his pricture from????
his picture ... :)
Books...don't get too excited. It's the former, not the latter.
4 cupcakes, that's all. :P Nor 4 every meal!
*smacks head*
This is what happens when you breathe too much sea air :P
KT - the US Cosmo mag. Centrefold. A few actors and celebrities posed in the nude :D
you smack your head a lot when u go for beach holidays Nut?
*my hair's 10 shades lighter already*
I don't do beach holidays, Books.
At least not till I get me that liposuction job :P hur hur hur
Bali wasn't a beach holiday?
How do you go surfer twink shopping then if not at the beach?
so going to get the US cosmo .. hahhah :P er... which month?
BTW I think the cupcake diet has a flaw.
If we had 4 cupcakes and a plate of tandoori chicken and mutton rendang work, I don't think we would lose pounds...
Angie. You sit at a cafe NEAR the beach and ogle. Simple.
Sheesh. Must I teach you girls EVERYTHING?!?! :P hur hur
Angie dear. Judging by the blog, I don't think even the Nut thought very much of the diet. LOL :D
Doesn't being near a beach mean that you ARE on a beach holiday?
Josh, I thought Nut may just try this one if he did try the Emily diet. hee hee
I'm hungry now!! Where can I get cupcakes?
Beach holidays have the following characteristics, Angie:
(1) Spending copious amounts of time actually ON the sands of the beach;
(2) Trying to get a tan; and
(3) Looking good in a Speedo.
Which is why this Nut has NEVER taken a proper beach holiday in his life. And in all likelihood, won't till he gets a lipo :P hur hur
And gurl-fren - don't diss the Emily. Booker and I will thump you. It works :P hur hur
Who wears speedo's these days anyway? Surf shorts are mainstay of beach bodies these days. And if you've been Stateside, you'll realise you don't need a body of a God to look good in those, Nut :D
Hi All...
Cup cakes... cup cakes.... hmmm marmalade used to have nice cupcakes... but I think the cupcakes at D'lish is not bad... And yes, Just heavenly has some nice cupcakes too... Nut... just around your corner.. next to that posh looking but sucky food restaurant... forgotten the name...

And yeah. He's pommy. He just said so earlier :D :P
Bye-O OLD MAN:P Hur hur
See la Nut. Now I'm craving for a cupcake. The one from Cupcake chic at Curve especially. Those are SOOOOO good!
Had a morning meeting there 11... anyways, back in my neighborhood having a nice fried rice....
Saw some nice cupcakes at Just Heavenly... have a look la Nut...
Afternoon Books, Asha, Angie, Rdlchic, Kelvin, ASD, SC, anon....
hmmm speaking of which, have yet to try the cupcakes at cupcake chic...
We used to have "Life Sux Fridays" at the office, Merv. We binged on desserts from Just Heavenly every friday, and felt shitty afterwards. Decided never to visit that place again for the sake of our waistlines :P hur hur
Hee hee Asha. They're really good. Especially the ones with alcohol on them :D *hic* :D
Hmmm H.R.H Nut, you could consider creating your own diet... :P
I *heart* Cupcake Chic cupcakes!
My fave is the one with brown sugar syrup on butter icing....who needs men!?!?!?! ha ha
Sure. It'll be the TwinkyDiet.
Eat 4 twinks a day :P hur hur
did somesame say alcohol AND cupcakes in the same sentence!!?!?!
hmm the last time I was there and with the cafe back then, was to taste their cupcakes... planning on doing our own.... well, it's all about the ingredients and the dough.....
Twinky diet... hmm... sounds interesting.. where do i sign up???
Come to Curve this weekend Books. I'll belanja :P hur hur
OK we almost sprayed our curry laksa on our iTouch at Josh's retort to Asha on that facial thing! XD
Can't say we fancy Cupcake Chic, the cream's a wee bit thick and confectionarily (is there such a word?) sweet.
hi Books!!!! still drinking tea?
ooh books come come to the curve, I can then see you on sunday... can also give your gift before the 5th lunar month starts...
retype: Come to the Curve so I can see you! I can also give you your gift...
Am out of the office today and can feel mild withdrawals from our morning dose of Life Liberty. Goodness. Oh, btw, the best diet plan? Eat your regular meals, but at very irregular hours. Followed by late late nights every night. Works for us!
