For their 2014 list of the ‘Hottest Women in Culture’, the mag listed some of the women who have made this year truly one to remember like Nicki Minaj, Natalie Dormer, Kendall Jenner, Jourdan Dunn, Cara Delevingne and more.

They didn’t just remember smash singles and A-List performances though, they also remembered moments like Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin‘s short-lived romance, Cara Delevingne’s partying antics and more.

They tag ladies like Natalie Dormer the “Widow of the Year” for her portrayal of Lady Margery Tyrell on HBO’s Game of Thrones, who had a rather brief marriage to King Joffrey. They also named Nicki the Poet Laurete of 2014 for her verses in her hit song, Anaconda.

Selfie Culture Sparks Rise in Plastic Surgery

15000 Selfie

The Selfie craze is leading to more plastic surgeries in the world.

Ever since Ellen Degeneres broke Twitter with the Academy Awards Selfie and Kim Kardashian-West discovered her best Selfie side and pout, the self-portrait has been sweeping the world, one click at as time.

However, recent reports have shown that the rise in Selfies has also caused an increase in plastic surgeries in the world. According to Reuters.com, plastic surgeons have reported that they have experienced a boom in business with more and more people coming to them to have surgeries ranging from an eye lid lift to Rhinoplasty (nose reconstruction).

One of those cases was that of New-York-based Dental Hygienist Jennifer Reynolds, who was uncomfortable with her looks and never took Selfies or liked being tagged in photos. The 34-year-old reached out to a surgeon to have her nose fixed and now feels more comfortable about her looks.
