    The tweet above went viral after Samantha Parsons shared the accompanying photos with the caption: “today while babysitting, I was putting on mascara & my 3 year old niece asked if I could do her makeup too.”

    Many people on Twitter were confused and were wondering whether the person in the photos was actually her 3-year-old niece, Monroe – or a 73-year-old granny. The photos were then retweeted thousands of times by internet users who were not sure of what to believe.

    It turned out, the person in the pictures is actually Samantha’s 3-year-old niece, Monroe – who she transformed to an old woman with the help of her great makeup skills.

    After going viral, Samantha interviewed 3-year-old Monroe and asked her how she feels about being famous. “i feel happy, happy, happier. I feel happy,” the little girl said with smiles.

    Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, and Claudia Schiffer Reunite For Balmain Campaign

    The world’s three top fashion icons and supermodels, Naomi Campbell (45), Cindy Crawford (49), and Claudia Schiffer (45) reunite for Balmain campaign. The 3 iconic models glowed in Balmain’s classic pieces. Olivier Rousteing, the creative director of Balmain said working with the trio was a ‘dream come true’.

    ‘When I was a schoolboy in Bordeaux, it was their editorials that first made clear to me the amazing transformative power of fashion. Still today, many years on, their iconic images are often found amongst the jumble on mood boards in my (and almost every other designers’) atelier. ‘To say that working with them was a dream come true is no exaggeration.

    Speaking further about the campaign Olivier said: ‘For this campaign, shot by Steven Klein for the first time, there was never any question of which direction to take. It was obvious that there was no need for any special installation or any type of lighting tricks – Pascal, Steven and I knew that the unique combination of Balmain’s Spring 2016 designs and these powerful women was more than enough. ‘Therefore, lighting is clean and direct and the women are front and centre.’

    The trio was at the top of their game in the 90s. They ruled the runway and all top fashion campaigns around the world. And decades later, these beautiful women have come together to show they still have it and have gotten better with age.

    The photo above shows two of the supermodels, Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer during their reign in the 90s with Fashion designer Valentino.

    Kim Kardashian Trades Athleisure for Pajamas

    0

    It can be hard to mirror celebrities’ styles. They have unlimited budgets, and they can have a slew of fashion pros and stylists at their side the moment they snap their fingers.

    Kim Kardashian is certainly no exception. In addition to the fact she has her own clothing line, designers actually approach her to ask if she’ll sport their latest and greatest creations on the red carpet. You would think a girl with so much at her disposal would regularly dress to the nines, and for the most part, you’d be right.

    But if there’s anything you can count on Kim K for, it’s that she can’t pass up a trend. Whether she’s sporting an existing craze or starting a new one, the girl is a sucker for the latest fashion. Her outfits aren’t always attainable, but thanks to the insane popularity of athleisure, for a while there even those with the tightest budgets could recreate her relaxed look.  Bustle even posted a breakdown of the Kardashian Klan’s most popular athleisure ensembles, complete with easily mirrored leggings, relaxed hoodies, and sporty sneakers.

    Apparently, Kim really liked wearing ensembles that were a little more relatable, because she recently upped the relaxed (and budget-friendly) trend with a new look. According to MTV News writer Amanda Bell, Kim published a post to her social media accounts showing off her latest favourite trend—pajamas.

    “New Year’s Day is the perfect opportunity to take it easy and just relax in bed! I’m a big fan of matching pajama sets … or a onesie for a cute look that’s all about comfort,” she posted.

    That’s right. The first big trend of 2016 is comfier than a pair of leggings. Designers everywhere are cranking out their take on matching pajama sets, seemingly overnight. And thanks to the relaxed fit of classic pajamas, all different body shapes and sizes can take advantage of the trend. If you take a look at the collection from Woman Within, you can find everything in this style for petite sizes to plus sizes, and everywhere in between. There are even styles fit for different ages, from young adults all the way to seniors.

    Even if you’re not a fan of Kim K, it’s hard to deny that she’s a powerhouse in the fashion world. Who else could bring styles usually reserved for when the lights go out to the forefront of the industry?

    You have to admit, she’s hard to ignore—a feat that will be even more impossible thanks to recent news released by Metro. According to reporter Katie Baillie, Kim and Kanye are eyeing real estate along the English countryside. Kanye apparently fell in love with the area after performing in Glastonbury last year.

    Whether you’re a fan or not, you better get ready. The Kardashians are coming to the UK, and who knows what trends they’ll bring with them!

    Nigerian Grandfather Cries Out: 4-Year-Old Boy In New ISIS Video Is My Grandson

    A child who featuires in the latest sick Daesh video has been identified as the son of London convert Khadijah DareTwitter/ muhajirah fi sham

    A London taxi driver has said that he is the grandfather of the young child shown speaking in the latest sick Isis video from Syria. Nigerian-born Henry Dare is the father of Grace “Khadijah” Dare, a Christian convert from Lewisham, who converted to Islam in around 2012. She took her son Isa on moving to Syria to marry Swedish militant Abu Bakr, who was later killed.

    Henry Dare told Channel 4 News he had not seen his grandson Isa for over three years and was surprised and disappointed to see him in the video, which shows the killing of five Syrians by five IS thugs including one with an English accent. Asked whether his grandson knew what he was doing Henry said: “No, he’s a kid, he’s a minor. He’s under five. He’s acting under the influence of the IS leaders.”

    “He’s my grandson. I can’t disown him. I know him very well. He’s propaganda. They are just using a small boy. They are just using him as a shield,” he told the news programme.

    Hinting that he had spoken to his grandson on the phone Dare told The Telegraph he hoped to see his daughter and grandson again. “I was surprised when I saw the picture. It’s definitely him. Of course I’m worried but there’s nothing I can do now. I’m not angry – I would never have expected it. I just hope someone is trying to bring them back.”

    Since moving to Syria Khadijah has posted messages and images on social media under the name Mmuhajirah fi Sham, including one of her son holding an AK47. Khadijah said she would never return to the UK and that the only thing she missed about life here was junk food and Chinese takeaways. She also hoped to be the first UK woman to behead a prisoner for Isis.

    Hundreds of UK citizens are thought to have gone to join Isis in Syria, including a number of women and girls nicknamed “Jihadi Brides.” The British women are notorious in Raqqa, the stronghold for the group, because of their apparent love of cruelty for anyone who transgresses against their religion.
