STYLE REVIEW // DIP-DYE HAIR
> Get it while it's haute.
As the days are growing warmer, you're probably reconsidering many aspects of your look, including your hair. Your mind is buzzing with the repetitive question: to lighten your hair for the summer or keep it dark? Well, you can do both — with dip-dye hair, where half your hair is dark and half is light — and no it doesn't look trashy. Celebs like Rachel Bilson, Drew Barrymore and Alexa Chung have all sported the look and it radiates effortless boho-chic.
You can incorporate it into your look by adding a hint of golden blond highlights around your face, or you can fully support the trend by dying the bottom half of your hair with a caramel or champagne color. Just make sure the hues aren't more than two to three shades apart to perfect that just-got-home-from-vacation look.
Dip-dye hair can be done at the salon or at home. For a cheaper option, buy an at-home color kit that is no more than three shades lighter than your current color. Highlight as you normally would, but start midway down the hair shaft instead of at the roots. It's also wise to blend in the look a bit by placing random

highlights toward the crown of the head so the sudden color change isn't as obvious. And don't worry about perfection — the trend here exemplifies Mother Nature at her best.

MOVIE REVIEW // SUCKER PUNCH
> Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
With a dark, mysterious, gothic like look to it, Sucker Punch, will leave almost any videogame-loving guy begging for more.
Baby doll (Emily Browning: The Uninvited, Lemony Snicket) has been locked away in a mental institution for girls by her vicious stepfather after she accidentally killed her sister. Through her imagination and grief, Baby doll creates a fantasy world after she arrives. The world she creates has the mental patients becoming female dancers. They perform for specific clients and have to cater to these men's every need. In reality these men are the workers in the mental institution. In this fantasy world Baby doll decides to let her mind go wherever it takes her. Once she starts dancing she goes into yet another world. Here she discovers a plan to try to escape her imprisonment. Baby doll encourages a few of the dancers (Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, and Jamie Chung) to join her in this escape for freedom. Once in this other fantasy they have to fight to obtain an object that will help them escape. With a similar videogame feel, their
fighting will lead them to their final destiny.
This film has a constant twist of fantasy that makes actual reality a blur, giving off a futuristic feel. It appears that the point of this movie would be to promote women empowerment. But with the small outfits that are being worn it seems as if the real fans of this movie would be males and not females searching for a life like heroin.
