Do What U Want Video Scandal

After performing "Do What You Want" with R. Kelly on the 2013 American Music Awards, it seemed logical that DWUW would be Gaga's next single. Terry Richardson, who also produced Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus, worked with Gaga and Kelly to record the music video in September 2013, set to release in December 2013. In January 2014, Lady Gaga posted this explanation on littlemonsters.com:

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine joked that he does nude photography, but 'not in a Terry Richardson kind of way' and I could only think of the hardcover photo book of Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson that has been on my bookshelf for years. But while aimlessly browsing the internet a few days ago, I stumbled on this article by Jenna Sauers entitled "Meet Terry Richardson, The World's Most F--ked Up Fashion Photographer" and it caught my attention. A further look revealed that while it may be new to me, Terry Richardson being accused of sexual abuse isn't news. The very next day, another article popped up in my newsfeed. New York Magazine published "Is Terry Richardson an Artist or Predator?" on June 15, 2014.

The title alone sparked controversy. In response to the article, Jamie Peck, who is mentioned in the Sauers article, wrote "Take it from someone he abused: Terry Richardson is a predator with a camera." The article also sparked a more in depth look on why Gaga had decided to pull the DWUW video. Only 4 days after the Artist or Predator article, TMZ posted this clip of "Do What You Want" that was 'scrapped'.

Vastly differing in why the video remains unreleased, Page Six reported a source said "Gaga had a video directed by an alleged sexual predator, starring another sexual predator. With the theme, ‘I’m going to do whatever I want with your body’? It was literally an ad for rape.” and US Magazine reported an insider said "The truth is, Gaga herself didn't like it. She didn't love how it turned out and wouldn't let the label release it."

Was the Change.org Petition to stop using Terry Richardson posted in October 2013 enough to not release the video or was it because of the Village Voice article "Read the "Stomach-Churning" Sexual Assault Accusations Against R. Kelly in Full" released in December 2013? Or did Mother Monster really feel the creative process was rushed, and the final product not good enough for her beloved Little Monsters?

The 33 second clip posted by TMZ may be a compilation of every screen shot in the entire video that could be considered "graphic" or it may be "an ad for rape" but one thing is for sure: New York Magazine wants to keep the hit count high and will feature Terry Richardson is his own cover story titled "The Perverse Case of Terry Richardson", as more models are coming forward to share their stories of abuse.

DIY Paper Crafts

Want ideas for DIY crafts made with things you already have like paper, magazines, and glue? This has become my latest hobby.

Paper has been a favorite medium of mine for a few years now, starting with this:

I used an old canvas that had a failed project on it. I used watered down Elmer's Glue to cover the background with shredded paper, piece by piece. (This was SUPER time consuming, but painting glue onto the canvas and throwing paper on it didn't work.) I then dyed paper dots (from hole punching binders at work) with coffee, tea, and wine for different colors, and glued each dot. My father built the frame for me.

I made gifts for my nieces, still stuck on the paper theme.

The next paper project I had my heart set on was using rolled up magazine strips to make a picture frame or frame a mirror. Unfortunately, there is a bag of rolled magazines and only one simple project came of it (so far!):

... but I will admit it looks good on my mantle!

I have a Pinterest board specifically for paper projects and have tons of plans and many of the supplies to do some of these things. The most important thing is to have fun! For more ideas, follow my board here:

Follow Melanie's board Everything DIY Paper on Pinterest. UPDATE: Since I posted this, I've really gotten into magazine beads. I've finished multiple bracelets and am working on completing a 6x1 mirror, framed completely with beads. The beads are definitely more user friendly than the coils.

Top 3 Free Online Survey Sites for Cash

Want to take surveys for cash and/or gift cards but want to use sites that actually work? So far I have liked the following surveys sites enough to read the emails (or simply sign in), sign up, take the surveys, and get the points. Any site that offers Paypal cards basically offer cash, because you can send a PayPal credit straight to your bank account.

SURVEYS:

www.mysurvey.com
MySurvey is one of my favorite survey sites. It only send emails to users that will qualify, and even though there may not be as many surveys to take, you can join this site, do a survey when available, and it doesn't take up much time. You can also earn 150 points for referring a person to MySurvey, which can be done through email on the site. I have continued to use this site for over 6 months, and have quite a bit in points to show for it. The emails aren't annoying, but I still get an invitation for a survey 1 or 2 times a week. Highly recommend this site! I will gladly send anyone interested an email invitation, referrals are sent by email and give 150 points.

epollsurveys.com
Epoll is very similar to MySurvey. An email invite is sent out for a survey, again only to those who qualify. I've done many surveys on this site about television shows, and have gotten to watch 30 minute clips of shows that haven't come out yet. The surveys are easy, the website is organized, and I actually enjoy a lot of the surveys as they are more interesting than some. Epoll also requires an email for a referral.

www.myview.com
MyView offers a range of points for each survey (usually 400-1200) and 100 points for each survey that you attempt but do not qualify. Spend 10 minutes "not qualifying" and you will have 1000 points. Simple, easy, not too many emails. A referral will earn 1,000 points, and members earn an entry to a sweepstakes just by logging in every day. If I refer ONE more person, I can be an "Affiliate Member" and post a referral link to my blog, earning points for anyone who clicks on the link and completes a survey.


MySurvey, Epoll, and MyView are the only survey sites that I have been able to keep up with (and tolerate) the number of emails sent.

These are my definite top 3. It does take some time to fill out the information, but it's still a significant amount of money to earn while watching television. Planning a large purchase? Earn it on Swagbucks or the above survey sites. It's free money, and you will actually get paid. Who knew there were 3 of these sites that are legit?

More survey sites to come later, maybe, but these three are definitely worth it.

*Swagbucks is not included in this review because even though the site offers points for surveys, the site also offers points for watching videos, signing up for offers, joining email subscriptions, using the search engine, doing tasks, codes found throughout the site, the daily poll, ect., and I have already written a blog about it. Interested? Sign up *here* or through the link on the previous blog post. Just want surveys? That's why I left it out.
*Inbox Dollars is not included for the same reason as Swagbucks. See other blog posts. :) Please see my blog on Inbox Dollars, or click to sign up *here* Earn $5 just for signing up, cash out at $30.

Inbox Dollars

Here is my most recent way to make money online: Inbox Dollars give you cash credit for reading emails, taking surveys, using their search engine, and completing offers. I just started a little over a month ago, only do things while I am bored, and already have almost $16. Every little bit helps.
