everyone in the matrix is a woman - Wachowski sisters

Just read the story this morning.  Remember when one of the directors (the former wachowski brothers) came out as transgender back in 2012?  Yea well the other sibling has also just come out as transgender.  This is sorta mind boggling when you think about it.  How often do you see siblings both transition, much less celebrities?  And it begs the question, is this something biological or environmental that influenced them, or is it just odds? Here's the story:

ASMR

It stands for Autonomous sensory meridian response.  It's typically a mundane and repeating (and often very quiet) sound.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_sensory_meridian_response

I read a gizmodo article on it, and it featured this video of a woman playing with some sort of fluffy playdoh, which eventually turns into a bubbling video when she adds vinegar.  Both the whispering and the liquid bubbling is pretty soothing (as well as her whispering voice)

But then she also has this 360 VR video:

Which in of itself is interesting, but also at about 7 minutes in she begins brushing the camera with a makeup brush.. Which if you use your imagination can become a VR makeup experience.  It's a shame it isn't a true split lens video you can use google cardboard with so it really feels real.

Neverending transition

I always thought Atreyu from neverening story looked a little girly with his longer hair and boyish face.  What if the princess could no longer perform her duties, would he have to fill in?





Will Smith's son Jaden is new face of Louis Vuitton WOMENSWEAR

Apparently he's not transgender, he's gender fluid.  So far I can't find any photos of him crossdressed, he just likes wearing skirts and the occasional bow in his hair.  Still, committing to being the face of a female clothing line is pretty bold and something tells me there's more to this story.



I say he should go all out at least for one photoshoot

"Face swap live" app

So I blogged about this face stealer app (that was hard to find because it's chinese):

There's a new app recently got released which not only let's you face swap, it let's you do 2 faces at the same time (and live), so your fantasy of seeing your face on a woman's body in real time can finally come true.  Also this adds the ability to make mouth movements and slight eyebrow movements which the face stealer app didn't handle:

fashion show, or tech presentation?

This show never looks funny (and it isn't), but this skit was interesting.  He thinks he's modeling clothing for a fashion show, and then realizes he's being thrown into a powerpoint presentation.  Awkward on level 99
