All-time Favorite Photos of Sandara (Photoshoot Edition)

Not long ago, Koreaboo provided us their own list of Sandara Park's stunning photos and this blog post is obviously inspired by that. A lot of us disagreed with their choices so here I am posting my own version of that list. As a devoted daraling, I know Koreaboo failed to show what I think are earth-shatteringly gorgeous photos of Sandara Park. None of my favorites even made their list. So to appease my disappointed heart (hopefully yours too!) here goes my absolute favorite photos of Sandara Park.

1. "Classic Beauty"



I'll go ahead and assume that most of us will choose this as a top favorite. When this photo was revealed, it's safe to say that many were left dumbfounded--including me. Seeing this photo for the first time is a mixture of awe and disbelief. As 2NE1's fashion risk taker, we never thought we'll see Dara styled like this: so simple yet so elegant. This photo drips of innocence. She exudes an ethereal and refreshing aura. In fact, she resembles women from the 60s who wear their hair big but go for nude tones for their lips and make up. A classic look for a classic beauty. After a year since its release, I find myself still captivated by the magic this photo brings.


 2. "Enchanting Fairy"



Nothing screams "Goddess" more than this photo. The bold contrasts of the pink flowers, fantasy make up and glowing skin worked well on Sandara. She looked absolutely breath taking. The childlike look in her eyes and the lushness of her lips further emphasize her lethal charm that she can be innocent and seductive at the same time. As if that's not enough to send us all crazy, there she goes flashing her sexy collarbones that rarely see the light of day. To say we're enchanted by this is an understatement, to be honest. We're more like, enraptured more than anything else.

Dara Graces ELLE Magazine; 'Sophisticatedly Elegant'

Dara never fails to surprise us every time. Her recent participation in ELLE's Share Happiness campaign proved that she is as versatile as a chameleon when she appeared in a photoshoot that showed a different side of her we don't often get. We normally see her in outrageous styles befitting her image as a 2NE1 member but this time, she's decked in glamorous ensemble and classic make up that showed off her natural beauty and charm.

Here are her ELLE photos and the corresponding interview.

SANDARA PARK: A 21st Century Heroine



When we were young, we believed in super heroes and mythical creatures who possess amazing abilities and otherworldly powers. Then we grew up. The magic slowly faded. Our make-believe world no longer existed. But as we matured, we also learned that heroes are real (albeit less magical but just as powerful) even in this day and age where people are more practical, more cynical and less faithful.

I, myself, have known a 21st century heroine whose abilities match that of a Phoenix--she rose from her own ashes and grew into an even more beautiful, stronger creature. She is none other than the precious, life-changing idol, Sandara Park.

I found this post on tumblr summarizing how she dealt with her downfall and pain; how she managed to come out even better and much tougher. She's a woman of steel, a lady of great principles and virtue and most of all, a girl who harbors such enormous love for the people around her. A heroine through and through, that's who she is.

Timeless Beauty

There are girls that look incredibly stunning only at first sight but when you get used to seeing it, it's as if their beauty isn't so remarkable anymore. And then there are those who are beautiful but not as striking when you see them for the first time but then as you look at them longer, you gradually fall helplessly captivated by it. Such is the beauty of Sandara Park.

At first glance, you wouldn't really see something special that puts her above the other faces in showbiz but the longer you look at her, the older she gets, the more beautiful she becomes. And what's even more amazing is the fact that it's all natural. Sandara Park fans are well aware of how Dara likes to present herself. In a sea of surgically enhanced celebrities, she stays natural. When everyone is adamant to wearing colored circle lenses, she chooses to show her true eye color which is beautifully brown. Many are obsessed with dark and thick eyeliners to alter their eye shape but Dara opts for minimal application. Sexy is what others strive to become so to further achieve it, they use lipsticks in a variety of red shades but Dara is unlike any other so she opts for a more nude tone. Performance or not, celebrities wear their fake lashes as much as they please, as thick as they want but again Dara would wear it only when she's working. And most of all, what really amazed me is that she chose to keep her birthmark on her right calf. Celebrities nowadays want every blemish removed, every scar erased, every flaw gone.

Simply put, Dara is proud of her god given looks, she embraces her natural gifts and that is what marks her above others.

In her latest shoot with Cosmopolitan for CLIO cosmetics, Sandara proves that natural is indeed the best. She showcased a total of five different looks from innocent woman to sultry biker chick to edgy fashionista. And what lovely transformation each look was.


[REPOST] Sandara and CLIO

Well, hello there! It's been a while since I last posted. Been busy with school and thee have been a lot of happenings in my fan girl world which I haven't shared with you all. It's such a pity because I wanted this blog to be so active and updated but real life got in the way so yeah.

Anyway..... I am so not over CLIO's LipNiCure products and Sandara!!!!!

Those lipstick concepts were one of my dreams that came true! Thank you CLIO, for that wonderful wonderful campaign.

The thing is I've been wanting to see my goddess model striking lip colors like that of CLIO's. Damn, Sandara Park just killed it. I swear, where in the world can you find a beauty so dazzling as her. She is pure per-fec-tion!

Also, I want to see her in a CF selling red lipsticks and seducing a man. Hahahaha! I wonder when that will happen. I can bet CLIO's red lipsticks would run out once the CF airs. Oh please CLIO, make it happen. Your promotion sucks, by the way. LMAO. Great thing Sandara Park is your main endorser.

Moving on, my favortie look would be Guilty Pink. She rocked that look beyond anything supreme. Goddess indeed.

I just wish the next CLIO campaign would be something like the four elemental goddesses then my Dara would totally make them other models run for their money.

Here are the gorgeous gorgeous photos:




[REPOST] Falling In Love With Sandara

OMG OMG OMG Guys! Falling in Love MV is finally out and holy guacamole Dara was absolutely stunning! I kid you not! After their so long hiatus, we can now see them back in Music Programs and other shows. Oh my Dara. T_T How I've missed you. Now I can spazz everyday with something new and exciting to look forward for!

Here's the MV. Check it out!



And see these Dara screencaps from Oh Dara! It's not enough to just watch the MV. We need still cuts for Dara's illegal beauty! Spazz spazz away!











Are you still breathing? Haha! You might need more oxygen for the following GIFs from fresh vocal! Dara was really ethereal in this Egyptian Goddess inspired look. I mean, hello! Dara was born a goddess of course it will suit her naturally. Anyway, enough blah, drool over the awesome GIFs:








Dear reader, you will be missed.




Hahahahaa! Kidding! I died a little with those GIFs. I was actually pissed off with YG because the teaser photos honestly looked cheap. Can't they even make it more classy or something? It didn't even reach the supposed "YG Quality" for me. I even thought I wouldn't like their song but all my apprehensions vanished the moment I saw the MV. I was like a lunatic fan girling over Dara's perfection. Come on people, we all melted at her "touch me over here, touch me over there" part right? She totally emitted that Goddess aura effortlessly. She was heavenly! And her dancing, OH MY GOSH. The choreo suited her skills well. She was so sexy and flirtatious! She was really good at dancing, bias aside. I mean, look at those body waves and twists. Damn, if I do that, I'd look like a constipated penguin but our Sandara killed it and she looked perfectly awesome while doing it. Who says she can't dance? Haters, go back to your caves and meditate. Hahaha. Lol. Her part was the most reaggae-ish actually. The song was a mix of hip-hop and reggae and I think that her lines embodied the reggae feel of the song plus her voice sounded great in this kind of genre.

Well, that's all for now. Their first live performance will be on Thursday in M-Countdown! Stay tuned! ^^


xoxo
