I'd be Grimmjow! I'm--He's, I mean, the coolest soul-eating hollow out there. He can fly, blow stuff up, and is really powerful. I know, he's only ranked #6 for most powerful hollow, but he's #1 in sword-fighting, brains, and looks. Grimmjow's the king! If only I was that badass. But at least I'm not a hero.

How did Grimmjow get the picture for this one? Good question! I asked him, here: www.flickr.com/photos/requiemart/4531420200/
Don't ever let warm water touch this doll's face. Other wise it'll stay white for weeks!
I tried using cold water with no luck, so I just made everything white.
We took part in a junior school football tournament in Stoke called The Matchmakers Tournament. We won this, our final match was 9-0 to us! The year was 1985, possibly my most memorable year ever!

YUE LAO: THE MATCHMAKING GOD
Monday, March 2, 2015 | BY: SUN JIAHUI (孙佳慧)
You are destined to marry that person!
It doesn’t matter if the person in question is a friend or an enemy. They might be pretty/handsome, or hideously ugly. They could be healthy, or on death’s door. What really matters is whether your ankles are tied to theirs with a red string, invisible to human eyes.
What, you don’t agree?
In what is perhaps a personification of the concept of fate, Chinese traditional beliefs tell of a matchmaking god named Yue Lao (月老), which literally translates to “old man under the moon”, who was said to be in charge of all the marriages with his magic red strings. According to this tale, who you fall in love with was decided the moment you were born.
The character of Yue Lao originated from a story in The Sequel to the Collection of Mysteries, a book of mythology from the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). The tale begins with young scholar Wei Gu, who one day decided to visit his friend in Qinghe. On the way, he stayed at an inn.
Another man, surnamed Zhang, who lived in the same area, heard that Wei was a bachelor, so with Wei’s consent he decided to arrange a meeting with a girl surnamed Pan, whose father was the former mayor of Qinghe. Wei and Zhang made an appointment to meet at the gate of a temple early the next day to inform Wei whether the girl was interested.
Wei awoke before sunrise to go and meet the matchmaker. But on his way there he met an old man with a white beard and hair, who was lying down on a bag and reading a book under the moon.
Wei took a glance at the book and surprisingly found that he couldn’t recognize even a single word.
He approached and asked what book it was. It was then that the old man told him that it was a magic book recording all the marriages in the human world.
Naturally, Wei was skeptical. So the old man took out some red strings from his bag and explained that people were all tied up with their partners as soon as they were born, no matter how far they lived from each other or how differently they were raised, and that they were all fated to eventually become husband and wife.
Wei’s first question was of course, who was destined to be his wife.
The old man laughed and said, “Your wife is only three years old now and will marry you at the age of 16.” He then led Wei to a nearby market, pointed at an old blind woman who was selling vegetables, and told Wei that the woman’s daughter would one day become his wife.
Wei felt insulted, because as an intellectual it was beneath him to marry a woman from the bottom rungs of society. In a rather harsh move, he ordered his groom to kill this girl. But the groom was too softhearted to hurt such an innocent little girl, so he just dropped his knife after pricking the girl on her forehead.
More than ten years later, Wei became a government official, but he was still single. All matchmaking attempts to find him a wife had failed, including the attempt with Pan.
Finally, his superior Wang Tai married his daughter to him. The couple lived a happy life, but Wei noticed that there was always a paper flower between his wife’s eyebrows, even when she slept. Wei asked why. His wife told him that the skin there had been pierced by a ruffian when she was three and the paper flower was to cover the scar.
Wei was shocked and then investigated the identity of his wife. It turned out that his wife was the girl he had seen in the market 13 years ago. The girl’s parents had both died at that time and the blind woman was her wet nurse. Later, the girl’s uncle Wang Tai found her and then adopted her as his daughter.
Listening to the story, Wei recalled the old man under the moon he had met that night. Since all he said had come true, Wei firmly believed that he had encountered the god who decides the fate of couples.
It is said that Wei talked so much about his story with Yue Lao that Yue Lao’s reputation spread far and wide. People then built temples for Yue Lao and prayed in front of his statue for good marriages. Gradually, Yue Lao became a graceful synonym for matchmaker, who played a very important role in ancient arranged marriages. Due to the fact that a marriage without a matchmaker was regarded as at least immoral even illegal, men and women were not supposed to meet each other before they got married officially, or it might become a scandal. So happy marriages largely depended on matchmakers, who were responsible for selecting the right partners for young people and served as the contacts between them. It is perhaps no wonder then that ancient people respected matchmakers like gods.

Bachelorette #1 asked the question: "If you were a fruit, what kind of fruit would you be?"
------------------------------------------------------
"Well, I'd be an apple. Why an apple though? Well, there are so many different ones out there, you don't know what you're going to get until you take a bite. And they're very healthy too. " *Winks*
"And, they go great with so many things! Just think of the~" *knocks the apple accidentally*
*Roll roll roll*
*SPLAT*
"Oh. Bugger."

Game Set Matchmaker is a contest going on at the moment right here on Flickr!
Pink Lady Apples are the best. Yum.
I originally wanted to go with a peach, since his skin-tone is, as someone put it, a lovely sort of peachy colour. Sadly, they're right out of season now. :( But hey, now at least you know what was going on, right Jen? ;D
Each of these hedgehogs were created by baking the cake batter in traditional stainless steel gravy boats or gravy bowls. The Mother Hedgehog has a marzipan face, M&M eyes and nose. Matchmaker Minis were used for the hoglets' eyes and the "sticks" on the ground.
Matchmaker Magic Mulan, this is the only photo I have of her face being normal colored.
Paid $30 + shipping
The blue part is reversible! I made her waist thing and her purple shaw! I also restyled her hair! She's so much better now!
Images of Stacy Kessler’s party celebrating her return to Bravo television’s MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER. The party took place at the One On One in New York’s trendy East Village. In addition to her television work, Ms. Kessler has recently completed filming the feature film MIDNIGHT GIRL, where she appears as a lead actor. She will also be appearing in the much awaited Broadway musical COLD AS ICE, produced by playwright and composer Frank D'Agostino.
Quick photo (camera phone) of my new photo rucksack, the rather excellent Crumpler Match Maker.
This is the smallest of crumpler's full photo backpacks but it takes (almost) all of my kit with ease. I really like the secure way it zips up so that it cannot be opened whilst being worn - makes me feel much happier when walking about in strange areas. The laptop bag also holds my MacBook quite happily.
Any questions, just ask :)

Making Kitty Powers' Matchmaker - Adventures of a Videogame Drag Queen

Location: Room 2009, West Hall
Date: Tuesday, March 3
Time: 1:45pm - 2:10pm
This series of resin pendants were inspired by a sheet of reproductions of vintage matchbook cover art. I thought it would be really cute to pair the matchbooks with actual matches and embed them into resin
They are made from brass with Ice Resin and various found objects, brass components, bits of paper, match sticks, and glass beads. The resin is crystal clear, and very reflective, and amplifies the collage inside the brass pendant with amazing detail. Unfortunately, they are so reflective, they are a bit hard for me to photograph, but I love each one dearly!
This pendant was made from a raw brass frame pendant, which was heated with flame to give it interesting coloration. Some of the pendants in this series were also hand domed with a hammer and dapping block. The pendant was then carefully filled with the paper and found object bits and covered with a water-like layer of crystal clear resin.

RALEIGH, N.C. – A delegation of business leaders from the Botswana Innovation Hub visit North Carolina State government officials here today including North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall. “When people are looking for business opportunities, we are the proverbial matchmaker,” said Marshall about her office’s support for the visit. The delegation is scheduled to tour the North Carolina Department of Commerce, Research Triangle Park, the business model for the hub, and North Carolina State University’s Centennial Campus.

32 of Scottsdale's Most Eligible Singles Sent 50 Kids with Muscular Dystrophies to MDA Summer Camp in Camp Shadow Pines in Phoenix Matchmaker Roseann Higgins’ First Annual SPIES Cupid's Cure Fundraiser! Over 300 Valley’s single professionals mingled and bought silent auction items at the SPIES Cupid’s Cure Fundraising Social at Devil’s Martini in Old Town Scottsdale. It costs $525 to send one child to young adult age 6-21 with muscular dystrophies to a week long camp with lots of fun group activities, including wheelchair basketball and a mock Amazing Race and barbecues. Each camper is assigned their own individual camp counselor to look after their every need and everything is paid for. The first annual event raised approximately $26,000 and sent 50 of the ~88 kids to 2005’s Camp Shadow Pines in the woods by Payson, Arizona.
The event was the collaboration of matchmaker Roseann Higgins of SPIES and Laura Czarzasty from MDA. Laura made the first move and had the idea of doing an event for Valentine’s Day! That girl makes things happen and has a heart of gold!
Roseann Higgins is President of Matchmaking A Difference Foundation. With the help of hundreds of volunteers and donors, over $250,000 in community service projects and donations have been completed.
She’d coordinated a homeless shelter project remodel and support with the help of hundreds of amazing volunteers for CASS Central Arizona Shelter Services in 2002 that was valued at $100,000.
In 2005, Roseann was already super-connected as an 11-year matchmaker - Founder and President of SPIES Single Professional Introductions for the Especially Selective. The 32 singles who reached out to their circles to raise money, sell tickets, obtain silent auction items did such a fabulous job.
Huge thanks to fundraisers former NHL player Jocelyn Lemieux for bringing out Jeremy Roenick to sign a golf back that night at the event and who donated a foursome with the two of them at Whisper Rock and Paola Embry from Paola’s Wine Bar at Christopher’s Restaurant at the Biltmore Fashion Park for raising money and coming down to the FOX 10 News Station to help promote the event and raise more money to send kids with muscular dystrophies to camp!
