“It feels amazing being on the cover of the Swim catalogue! Before I was a model, I used to see Gisele [Bundchen], Tyra Banks and all of those iconic women on it. It is amazing that a little South African girl can get on the cover,” says Candice.

happy xmas time

Yes yes… I kept my word and came in to sneak a proper post after the Xmas Extravagant Gifting one .

I had to put the 121212 Concert up… after we went to The XX at Alcatraz the start of this month I was thinking no musical experience could have topped it (at least for Deecember 2012) but then I witnessed that gig and went overcrazy and I decided it was a must to make all of you seeing/hearing it.

Am I good or am I wonderful?

Your pick…

After all music is my greatest passion and if you know me you weren’t surprised I chose a musical kind of little gift for you all the other day.

Please tho… be also charitable and help those in need by downloading the album that helps Sandy’s victims.

I wish I could have found also the amazing show Roberto Benigni put up for Rai 1 earlier this month (about our Constitutional Law… amazing) but unfortunately the only way to broadcast that is this one (not my video but check it because it’s amazing ):

Take it as a further little homage to the wrapping of the year (sorry for non Italians… I am actually sad none of you can appreciate the perfection that Benigni is).

I was all up to write a super happy post.

And trust me I will…

But as I began to write after coming back to our little gem house of Ortisei after snowy happy morning… I read and watched news and I got struck with the one that amazing Rita Levi Montalcini has passed away.

Not unexpectedly… she was over 100 years old…

But I am a scientist and a woman and you can guess the fact I was 1 when she won the Nobel Prize was a sign for me in so many ways, I would later develop a proper worshipping of her; her brain, her style, her class, her devotion and passion to the mankind and FOR mankind.

So please before I go on…

Unite along me in the memory of her greatness: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Levi-Montalcini

Thank you.

Now let’s go back to the proper post I was having in mind to write…

The highlights of December in Z&K’s life have been the usual ones (I am kinda routinely in this month more than in others i have come to acknowledge).

Milano in white

I loved to enjoy Milano under snow as well… it gets so beautiful when everything switches from stone to fairly pearly white, and the monuments seem made of ice

Karim parents’ have been here also for the Scala Première… it has been simply perfect and I did enjoy more Wagner personally; we’ve spent time with the people we love and we have also taken care of our new Ortisei House (a bijoux) and of adorable Nut (he starting to live up to the crazy version of his name and we love it… the house is happier now that he is here… Swifty keeps being unfazed by him but Nut is trying to be friends let’s see )

So… in a bunch of hours this 2012 will end.

We’re ending it over the magic surroundings of Dolomiti, after we’ve got to spend a wonderful Xmas with both my parents and K’s in Florence… then we also enjoyed a wonderful break there by ourselves after they left; being all loved up and witnessing my favorite ballet (Swan Lake) at Teatro Verdi.

I’me feeling so grateful as I watch the woods burn in the fireplace and while K&I are taking a sweet time going through all of our filmed 2012 moments (total of caught on video life bites… – NO KIDDING – 211.5 HOURS! More than 40 minutes for each day. If we’d average it. But we don’t. Clearly ).

We have had our great fun in the snow this morning and basically we are very excited to celebrate New Year with all of the crew reunited (we move towards Cortina tomorrow for the party… I love there but I love more to have our little cozy place in this way quieter town in the valley )

Nutty

Nut is back home, we haven’t brought him here unlike we did in Florence because we would be at risk of losing him in the snow… and then my parents are really good at pampering him when we are not home.

Swifty has received just half an hour ago a video message (yes… I video message my horse… so what? ).

In just a little over a couple of hours Marghe will bring here little princess Eva and then my New Year’s holidays will be complete (glad they traveled today because yesterday it took us A LIFE to arrive in Ortisei from Florence.. today they shouldn’t find trouble on the roads as everybody is already at their destination… hopefully!).

Darn I am SO in love with that kid it’s unreal.

I can’t fathom it. I just live it like a blessing; probably the greatest one this year which is ending’s gifted me with.

Oh, and by the way…

OF COURSE MAYAN GOT IT WRONG.

Even though the fact Berlusconi is up again for Prime Minister Running is a definitive sign that humanity SHALL deserve some punishment (or at least Italy… but on the other hand Berlusconi MIGHT be the punishment… :/).

one of my 3 Xmas trees at home

But yeah, Obama saved the world’s ass by being sent a second time in the White House so I am pretty hopeful 2013 won’t suck.

Actually (beside sporty troubles for my teams, beloved Milan and Lakers) I really have to say 2012 has been great, despite natural tragedies and the quakes and the fact humans still treat our poor planet so stupidly.

Cern has found Higgs’ Boson and science is taking a step further towards the infinite; my job and K’s are pretty solidly set up; I am ready to have a super fulfilled incoming year but at the same time we have already planned where to go for my Birthday; K’s one; our anniversary month; and just about in a month and a half we will be staying quite a lot in the USA and while there, beside work and family time and some other stuff we will check Maroon 5 live in a series of gigs.

Madison Square Garden… we gotcha

I love to be as organized as possible… so I feel fine in knowing pretty much already all of the major schedule for 2013…

But that won’t mean if some novelty sneaks in I won’t be delighted about it

Talking about babies, before I go detailing as per usual the post also about them, let me share (we still in festive mood) the free package of gifts iTunes gave of them just the other day, because that stays in between personal stuff and chronicles doesn’t it? .

This one is the package I am talking of:

Maroon 5 Holiday Gift from iTunes

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

03 Moves Like Jagger Video Backstage

►

But before I dwell into M5 more let me just say that in short form I am grateful for all that 2012 has been because of:

1) Karim (no need to say anything else right?);

Thank You for Dolomiti

2) Our families and their always amazing support;

3) Eva;

4) My crew;

5) His crew;

6) The fact both mashed amazingly in one of the best Summer vacations we’ve ever had in Southern Italy;

7) The fact that I keep having the best job I could have possibly dreamed for;

8) K’s achievements this year which have made all of the families so proud;

9) Chances;

10) Changes.

Thank You for Florence

Oh, and then as usual THANK YOU for Curiosity/Traveling/Art/Music.

I could never live without any of those.

To those who keep hinting at the subject… the answer is NOT.

Don’t expect a pregnancy by yours truly ANYTIME soon .

So 2013 won’t be the Year of The Child Of Destiny (and I don’t mean Blue Ivy’s supposed brother/sister).

Give up to the plan because K&I just don’t look out for kids (yet)

It’s just that we keep on willing to do some things yet which would be problematic to do with little kids or infants to take care after.

We have a very clear idea on what it takes to be a parent and we are not ready to completely revolution our existences yet with that choice.

A thing instead we will definitely do will be to keep on cheering to THIS MAN and his impact on the sport we both love so dearly.

Laadies and Gentlemen, BOW to His Perfection Of Athletic Strive:

Youngest player to break 30000 points. LEGENDARY Kobe Bryant

Ok…

What else?

I think I have covered it all and most important… I have to move through this writing of a post quickly or when little Eva will come she will try to write herself onto the iPad

She is already very attracted to technology and since her mum and techs are like water and oil, and her dad and techs are like fire and paper, I suppose she is taking already hints from her devoted Auntie Z., namely Geek Of The Universe

This Morning Over here

So okay, let’s move!

I think it’s time to switch and start to teach you about how also Maroon 5 shall be VERY fond of this year which has just started to fade.

I have many and many excerpts that testify a WONDERFUL charting year for them; Overexposed is the TENTH best selling album WORLDWIDE and after the Billboard Charts for the year 2012 have surfaced it’s clear that the guys are back with a vengeance and stronger than ever.

These up above were the worldwide charts, which yet don’t even include the last week of the year, in which both their Album and their songs are continuously increasing in copies sold

Please note that also the following Year-To-Date chart in Billboard covers only from December 2011 to the full of NOVEMBER 2012 so actually Overexposed, Payphone and One More Night (and also Moves Like Jagger…*sigh*) actually sold EVEN MORE and were at HIGHER position by the time the World Charts were completed.

This is the Billboard Triumph (note also how Adam charted also with Gym Class Heroes’ “Stereo Hearts” collaboration…) of beloved Maroon 5 this year 2012:

Billboard Year End Charts of 2012 -Dec 2011 to full Nov 2012 ratio

Overexposed is practically already PLATINUM in the USA… it’s past easily the 900.000 copies sold already before Xmas sales so it’s just a matter of a couple of weeks before the very prestigious mark is past (all of their sets have been Platinum and Multi Platinum in their home Country); worldwide, the set is well over 2.2 millions copies already and in these times of selling struggles it’s an amazing achievement especially because it has been available ONLY after the end of June, so it has sold so much (and deservingly, I love the album because it’s pop perfection) in just 6 months on sale (and unlike what it happened with Pink’s set they have almost never had a continuous discount sale policy going on).

Billboard best selling Digital Albums of all Time

Maroon 5 have been a force to be reckoned with in charts since their debut, so it’s a great thing that a decade later they keep being selling this strong, and that they have had multiple number one hits from EACH era of them.

This is amazing, and it’s testified by Year-To-End charts worldwide also this 2012, with Payphone and One More Night (as well as STILL Moves Like Jagger, which you know tho I am not happy about) being a wonderful double diamonds pair encrusted in their 10-years-of-successes crown.

They are the only BAND achieving the end to date chart with TWO songs in the worldwide Top Ten of Singles.

AMAZING:

I still not happy about the fact they chose Daylight as third single… the song is not really one of the best in Overexposed and the fact they decided to kill its chance of moderate success even more with a video which is far too long and absolutely unappealing to the masses (it’s not particularly original either, if I have to confess) makes me cringe…

Daylight

►

But eh, we’re talking about the band who decided to not release either Stutter or Nothing Lasts Forever or The Sun from previous albums so it’s clear they like to kill their best momentum regularly, don’t they? .

PJ Morton at the KIIS Jingle Ball

I think eventually the song might reach somewhere between 15/10th position on the charts out of the fact airplay will be on their side like it always happens, but I get scared when I hear Daylight is Adam’s fav song on the album (well, his fav on the previous ones were the similarly super-boring Never Gonna Leave This Bed and Won’t Go Home Without You so I shall be used by now on his not so great picks… *sigh*), because it’s honestly so vanilla it’s hard to get passionate about it (I do like his vocals on it tho… when he hits his lower register I always appreciate).

It’s not that Daylight is a bad song… it is a very nice song but nowhere near as smashing regarding its single potential as Doin’ Dirt, The Man Who Never Lied, Wipe Your Eyes and of course the best pop song on the album, the pop perfection which is Lucky Strike are.

Beside the chart triumph (which hopefully Daylight won’t ruin anytime soon) in December it happened a lot to our kids.

We have to start with the fact they were supposed to play as the surprise act KIIS LA Radio Jingle Ball… but as Adam addressed via twitter his throat was damaged so they had to pull out…

Only James and PJ actually went there, because Adam had to save his vocal chords for something way more important (even though fans were cute to him and probably hated the fact Will.I.Am substitued Maroon 5 – ewww -)…

The way more important event Adam had to save his voice for was of course the Nashville based Grammy Nomination Concert Broadcast:

the.grammy.nominations.concert.live.2012

►

Now his voice was still quite affected BUT the important thing was of course that Maroon 5 GOT TWO NODS!!!!

And then it’s always amazing to look at the guys onstage and it pumps me for next year!!!

I am so happy about the fact Overexposed got its share of glory too!!!

I am pretty convinced Fun. will take home all Maroon 5 have also been nominated for (the fact they are also up for Album and Song Of The Year easily tells me that) but the fact Payphone and ALSO Overexposed were reckoned in such a crowded and full year for pop is AMAZING!!!!!

It also testifies that my taste is awesome because I have always said Overexposed is a WONDERFUL pop record (I like how dear Jonah Hill got immediate cheer for his bro Adam… so cute )

I never fail musically… and all the nominations are amazing to my taste this year; best bit being the obvious fact dreadful Bieber was snubbed, as deserved, and also I am happy James’ girlfriend Ali Tamposi (a dear friend of Behati now) got her moment of shine in the noms too as an author – James is so proud of her!)

Never to stay too quiet, Adam went to Chelsea Lately during the festive episodes (wearing again a dapper suit) to clarify among other stuff (or to reinforce) some statements out of December GQ which put him in a boiling seat:

chelsea.lately.2012.12.12.adam.levine.hdtv.x264-2hd

►

Adam doesn’t hate the kid Honey Boo Boo… he hates the exploiting of a kid by his parents for fame.

put this in your mind when reading December GQ where he put those on his personal Punch list:

GQ USA 2012 Collage Adam levine punches trash reality TV and Honey Boo Boo parents

I laugh when really not smart people blast him for opinions which are actually quite deep and rightful (although sure he could use a little less of cursing when stating them… but he’s unfiltered and he won’t restrain for the sake of appearances…); surely he is proud of his opinions, in every way, and he won’t bend at his ideas for keeping public quiet.

I love Adam’s realness there; I appreciate his honesty more and more.

I love how he won’t dismiss his deep belief about how life shall be, I love how he won’t hide his political stances for the sake of selling more in general; I love how he will keep tellin in your face that he believes half of the tv the general public watches and love is simply pure trash damaging brains…

Now if he only would step off that awful Karaoke show too… I could finally be COMPLETELY proud.

Can Adam Levine’s tv future jobs be only like this one and not like THE Fuckery? thanx

I am up for him to keep on trying acting like in AHS though… I also welcome possible guest starring appearances in Sons Of Anarchy, and anything related with comedy

Ops… before I forget.. here’s the scan of the magazine I couldn’t put on last post I was talking of my likes… the Tv Guide Hottest List number:

Hot Liste 2012 TV Guide

I just adore everything amazing which is happening to Adam instead because in my book (and even tho so many times he does his best to make me regret my admire, The Fuckery That Awful Karaoke Show that thing being the best reason so far to this type of dismantling feeling) he is just so talented and full of qualities… I love how he also stays true to his Jewish roots even tho he doesn’t fake a Belief which is not fully his (and also this is so honest and real, it makes me adore the person he is).

Then of course… Adam is handsome.

There’s no other possible way to put it in words ban to state the obvious: he’s gorgeous and he also gets more attractive with age (darn you devil! ).

This is also getting noticed multiple and multiple times, not so surprisingly, in many of the years end countdown of various sorts.

But being really good looking (also in a very European way, which doubles the effect to me) is only one of his many qualities, truth be told.

I find it funny how ladies, girls, gays and (even if they deny it often) straight men have finally realized how amazing Adam Levine is

I knew since I first knew about Maroon 5 in 2003 .

I also really love the guys in Maroon 5 because their creativity spreads and never gets too constricted in just one shell, may that shell even be their own band.

So I am proud and happy about how James is experiencing indie success with JJAMZ (Katy Perry is a stan for them ) and how they have even opened for No Doubt when Maroon 5 came back from Nashville.

It’s not a surprise given the strict relationship and friendship Maroon 5 have with both katy and No Doubt guys but still always a good thing.

Then of course Adam is THE KING of Hip Hop collaboration since the time he did Live Again with the Ying Yang Twins:

Which is why he collaborated lately with 50 Cent on the amazing (and still underrated yet) My Life.

Here’s Fiddy speaking of this all: Listen and read :

click onto for more 50 Cent and Adam Levine collaboration

It was also due to have Adam featured both in Wiz Khalifa and The Game’s latest efforts.

But while the Wiz thing will surface later, so I was not surprised it was not yet included in his O.N.I.F.C. album yet, I actually went mumbling when after having even gotten a title for it in Rolling Stone Magazine, Adam and The Game’s “EPIC” collaboration on  his just dropped Jesus Piece was nowhere to be found.

I guessed it was all due to The Game’s feud with 50 Cent and the fact My Life had just dropped, but (since I may not have been the only one questioning the rapper about it, wondering if thing got dread between Adam and him) The Game was quick in erasing doubts about it all (and now I wonder if the supposed awesome track he did with Adam, will lately see the green light to be outed, which I hope of course):

The Game loves Adam Levine

I love the way rappers (even the most badasses of them) always love Adam invariably

There’s something so gangsta about him they cannot refute?

I know there is

He’s so badass he has an ANGEL for girlfriend and yes, that is what he deserves for being a great artist (even though he would say he’s not) and a good man, and I say this knowing he has certain flaws, but that makes him just more pleasant to me, as anybody has some (well I haven’t got any, but you know I’m unique – please detect some irony ok? -).

Holiday VS Commercial Angels – Behati Prinsloo

►

Yes, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo are still together and still happy and still VERY RECLUSIVE about their own love (the way it should be).

I hope this relationship goes throughout the incoming new year as greatly and as secretly as it has been driven for the whole of May / June / July / August / September / October / November / December of 2012.

Let her wish us a great holiday time through her Angel status :

Happy Holidays From The VS Angels – Behati Erin Doutzen Lindsey

►

The perfection of Behati (both in herself and as Adam’s better half) is indeed another thing I am VERY grateful about regarding this 2012 which is ready to end.

She has ALL of my approvals as Adam’s girlfriend and again in this December she has proved how splendid and fit for the coveted, but also very uneasy role of being Adam’s receptacle of passion&love she is and she has proved this repeatedly (again… and again… and again… always topping what I thought couldn’t even be improved… always witnessing how Bee is able to do it instead).

This A.P.W.T.C.S.A.P.C (African Princess With The Contagious Smile And Perfect Cheekbones, if you wonder and measurements of a goddess, as stated by FabSugar) has rescued Adam from the darkest of fake poseur pretenders to bring him back to life, to a marvelous mood, to a very private and real personal life, and to love and serenity:

Behati’s perfect everything

She has spent with Adam quite a LOT of time but again, she just didn’t let the world sneak in.

Which I think is why his family likes her the way they do (not that I believe they are pushing Adam to marry… they would NEVER step into his life that way, and moreover we know Adam is not keen to marry, especially until he has this kind of ongoing career… but sure Behati is loved by the whole of Adam’s family very much, of this I have a certain notion).

Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine with mum, family, relatives, friends (and the tea-cup pig he gifted her with) in December 2012

I laugh when people say she doesn’t work.

She does it, just the amount she needs to, and then she does what she wants, which in her case since May is being by her handsome, super sexy and adorable boyfriend’s side.

Would you do any differently BEING IN LOVE FOR REAL LIKE SHE IS?

Adam and his perfection in GQ list. And Behati can have that each time she likes

I mean… would YOU waste I am not saying days… but even MINUTES away from THIS, especially when you are in the position of being there to have sex with him at any given time (my husband knows what i think of Adam he knows this so I can say it loudly and he’s not jealous ):

I guess not.

And that’s why she stays by his side at any given time and fights for those minutes

The way anyone who claims to be a red-blooded female would (I guess Behati REALLY likes sex too )

I guess if you are in love and care about your relationship, you work and then you miss not even a minute before being back with the one who owns your heart.

If Behati wouldn’t… if she would waste time away from him when she is not doing her things… well that would mean she were not in love.

But that’s not her case .

Behati Prinsloo for VS 2013 new items. Does this accounts for works or is it just fun?

Behati works and does what she has to, don’t worry… it’s just that she is not pimpin herself, maybe because she is down to Earth for real and not for publicity and thinks people will see the fruits of her work when they come out, without no need to advertise herself constantly .

As you see from her pics then, she loves music and photography (and animals ) so her interests are just way wider than just her job as a model, and maybe she likes to tweet more about those things in her life than let people updated on her sets locations…

But yeah, she works she does well enough yep.

Behati for instance has also worked WHILE being in Los Angeles aside Adam, both in November and in December, courtesy of this man with the help of whom she has done more shots for VS and also NEXT UK in those occasions too:

Ben Watts on GQ Usa Dec 2012

She is contracted by VS, and she might as well live it off ONLY her Angel status, as that contract is by far the most lucrative one in fashion.

But it’s not like she has ONLY that at the moment… she is also STILL the face of NEXT UK and in fact in December she had to work also on that.

She has not to rush the world for catching a not so big dime unlike others…

She is doing fine and she has already from 2008 the contract ALL models would KILL to have.

Girl is right where she stands… She has worked always since the start and just to recall some good things… take this old video always cute which explains you who Behati is:

Historical Behati prinsloo VS All Access Get Runway Ready and promo with Candice Swanepoel

But let’s go in order.

Behati left Adam’s side in Los Angeles (he was keeping doing THAT Karaoke Show live so he couldn’t join her there) to be in New York for the promotion of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show broadcast.

But before that, as you know, she had her first acting role displayed in Hawaii 5-0 which she promoted as well along her fellow Angel Alessandra:

Hawaii.Five-0.2010.S03E09.with Behati Prinsloo

►

After that (I loved how grateful she was for the opportunity… she literally didn’t know before the taping of the show in November she would have been cast, and she flew in Hawaii after the taping directly… so cute! Of course this acting opportunity made her immediately more talked about  from UK to France  to Italy (love it!) and beyond but she sure did a great job for being someone who never even tried acting before or thought she would…) she had a series of major tv appearances for the promotion of the show, and that is a wonderful way to see her bubbly, lively, amazingly fresh personality&face working the cameras with natural charme and zero fronting.

Ratings were really good and so was the feedback, so much the showrunner expresses delight over her and to her :

I really love her way to be.

She comes off as really relatable and with zero pretentiousness about her.

To be naturally funny and not stuck up at all must play a major role on why Adam’s been so attached to her (especially in contrast with his miserable past earlier this year):

And of course there is the show.

Well, Behati out of Pink and into the main line meant essentially that Pink was awful without her and she SHONE as a bright diamond in her three outfits inn the other segments.

Behati Prinsloo stealing spotlight in VSFS 2012

Many were surprised she transitioned so well into the main sexy Angel role and not anymore the teeny Pink one but.. are you serious?

Of course she shone and was super sexy… and of course now that she is 23 she can also rock the more womanly main lines of VS… she is a tomboy, but she is also extraordinarily feminine and beautiful.

Behati in VSFS 2012

She’s Adam Levine’s choice for companionship then, and he could never be with someone not sexy (it’s just that Behati is not only sexy… she is so much more than just sexy and moreover she does sexy very classy and without looking or moving like a pornstar, always keeping her cool without looking like she’s trying way too hard ):

After the show broadcast (which was watched in a special location by all the VS people, including angels and models) there was a party and Bee was lovely there too (dressed very rock-ish again, too).

Behati Prinsloo model of the Week Fashion TV

She basically was one of the standout of the whole thing, as she deserved to be (and well… she can steal the spot by herself, no need of her man to get limelight…)

Adam was working for the his show live in Los Angeles while his woman was kickin ass left and right, but sure he is proud of her and of the fact she doesn’t need him to get recognition.

Also I laughed so much when she cutely hinted in the interviews that she “Loves dating.. dating is the best thing ever!” as the unique hint that she gave about the state of her personal life .

I am also glad she consoled poor Erin after her breakup with modelizer Di Caprio… poor Erin, if she would have been more discreet she would have probably ended marrying him (so are saying supposed informed people… I don’t really think Leo will marry any soon ).

But back at Bee…

I get distraught easily it seems today

Must be the snow around

On december 6th, while Adam and Maroon 5 were in Nashville for the Grammy gig, Behati optimized her time doing another job  (you know… because she does nothing with her life as idiots say ).

That job is something we don’t know anything about, beside the fact she did shot with a famous model actor from The Games of Thrones ( I am curious to know about this, really ).

Then even if people didn’t get informed about it, beside a sort of cryptic little tweet between Adam and Behati sharing views on the Paleo Diet and the state of pumpkins in that type of prescriptive diet (only educated people could guess ), she went VERY quickly back to her man’s side before having to fly away again, direction Miami, for another shooting for NEXT UK with the dear Ben Watts (this always because she doesn’t work right? ).

I admire so much the way she is capable to work and still never miss out on her role of girlfriend.

It’s so much that she is showing in these months…

I never get how people can hate on her… but yes, jealousy is a beast I guess.

She shared a few pictures from her working time in Miami, and the fact she was sharing those instead of private ones (and the fact she doesn’t call paparazzi up for catchin herself along with Adam when they are together) made the usual crazy people start to guess she might have no longer been in the blessed spot of being Levine’s girlfriend.

Like she has EVER tweeted anything personal before…

*sigh* will the haters ever learn?

But more on that later …

But of course Behati was there just doing work and having fun because she is a natural cheerful person and very ready to be with friends type of girl and it’s the easiest of things to get attached to her and want to spend time with her.

Behati in Miami, dec 2012

While in there Ben Watts (who’s very fond of Behati) shared two videos with her.

One was a cheerful holiday video with the typical Ben Watts’ style (quite La Chapelle but sassier) which was also comprehensive of parts with Bee which were recorded in Los Angeles in November AND December:

Happy Holidayz with Behati and othersfrom wattsupphoto

Then this little funny gem which had me rolling and which is so essentially Behati:

They Are Gonna Take Me Awayy Behati Prinsloo and Ben Watts

►

When she tweeted that she was about to take a trip, and the work was clearly on the verge of completion, it started some drama: people interpreted her tweets (as per usual) the wrong way, and others thought she would have headed to South Africa for holidays.

Except she did not.

the gorgeousness of Bee

She flew immediately… guess where?

THAT’s RIGHT.

Right where she BELONGS, namely by Adam’s side.

In Los Angeles again.

No time wasted.

No tricks around.

Work done… ticket held, airplane set…

And she was right beside her love again.

AWWWWWWW

“If That Ain’t Love Then I Don’T Know What Love Is…”

Once again she managed to pass every day there undercover; she went to all tapings of The Fuckery that thing but of course without making anybody aware outside of her real life people and Adam’s people (which are now hers as well, deal with this fact because this is how it is); she stayed all holidays with Adam and his family and the only glimpses of her (beside the private pictures at The Voice Wrap Party which you can see randomly here too, and a funny note on some strange tweets she tweeted that night she lately left ) and the only picture paps were able to snap was THIS:

Adam Levine and Behati prinsloo in Los Angeles on Dec 20th 2012

See?

So many days together in the town of paps and they never get sneaked into.

Guess why?

Easy answer.

It’s easy not to get papped when you don’t call the paps up… and Behati and Adam WOULD NEVAH call the scum of the Earth to snap them because well… they don’t need that trash and they are secure in their real love so much they keep it for themselves and don’t display it for the public.

Because THEIR LOVE IS NOT A PUBLIC ISSUE… Their love is a real feeling they have and protect from intrusive watch, which is exactly how they will make it stronger.

There was some major hilarity coming also from the fact Adam didn’t take Behati at the Lakers Xmas game (that we WOOOOOOON yes  despite some scary referees;)), because naive (or just plain misinformed/not so bright) people were assuming just because Behati was clearly there in LA with Adam, he would have taken her there (because she would rush for a photo op with him right? ah, no… wait: that is NOT Behati’s habit… I vaguely remember that was the norm earlier though with some other people maybe).

Behati Vintage 3

Little note for all the usual stupid haters of Bee who have NO CLUE whatsoever on Adam’s – very routinely in many cases – patterns of life.

Listen up, bunch of not so bright people: Adam Levine has ALWAYS taken his closest family members (and signed: especially grandparents) on Xmas Lakers games as his guests.

Adam cherishes his family a LOT, and that is his way to rewards his eldest, by keeping them close and honor them in special days.

When he didn’t bring his grandpa to Staples Center last Xmas it was because he was forced by his then very untrue “girlfriend” to bring her instead, in such an obnoxious way he couldn’t refuse it.

New Behati Dec 12 Pam Love

They were already done by then as a couple by Xmas 25th of 2011, they had already falloffs in rows and quarrels leading to breakups and she didn’t receive the ring she wanted for Xmas again and that was the first game of NBA after 2011 lockout so she needed BADLY some photo ops (her real reason to be with Adam) (especially considering it was clear the couple wouldn’t last, so she had to milk Adam a bit more as much as she could then) therefore she forced Adam to take her there instead of his grandpa.

But it wouldn’t have happened if Adam wouldn’t have been pushed hard for the sake of tranquility to switch his usual Xmas choices as for partners to bring courtside that day (whenever you don’t believe the fact that relationship was already a front by last December, just listen to Overexposed… The Man Who Never Lied was written those days, along Doin’ Dirt ).

Just to reinforce this explanation, please notice that in 2010, when that couple was still solid (but I guess his previous girlfriend was still in it only for the fame even then, if all the reports I got about her after the split are true… or even if only half of them are), this was whom Adam went with at Xmas game… guess who?

GRANDPA:

Adam Levine ALWAYS takes his grandpa at Xmas Lakers games unless forced by whiny users to take them for photo ops instead

Now the interesting bit you shall take out from the article excerpt I wrote back then is that while Adam’s previous girlfriend went to the movies WITH HER FRIENDS that Xmas of 2010 when she could not exploit Adam on the Lakers court for photo ops Behati went as well to the movies BUT she went there with Adam’s MUM and Adam’s brother:

Behati went watching movies with Patsy and Michael while Adam was courtside at lakers Xmas Game with his grandfather. FAMILY TIES

And of course the amount of tweets by her, about all of this family time she is sharing once again in December with Levines and Noahs are ZERO: others tweets… never does Behati.

Because she cares and protects the realness of her relationship and would never dare to break Levines & Noahs’ request for privacy, so it’s up to them share, but she would never ever break their will of protection for their personal lives.

This is amazing, especially now that Adam is one of the most popular celebrities in the world and she could so easily gain so much more fame just by sharing a bit of his private life around (others have mastered the technique in the past, with obvious fame reward… but Bee doesn’t look out for that… she looks after Adam).

Adam is in the list of darn CNN celebrities of the year 2012… and yet Behati Prinsloo, his girlfriend of 8 months almost constantly spent by his side, has never ever tried to use his name in her favor. NEVER YET.

Which is why Adam’s family likes her and allows her a tad of things, unlike what happened before with other people.

Behati and cousin Alice Noah just the other day

Behati is also treasured by all of Adam’s friends, all of his protegees  and protegees of friends and has developed special relationships with James’ girlfriend too; I love to get surprised for instance by Milo’s tweets about their ways to bond, just like when he shared the Xmas Tree Trimming party pics on Instagram.

But the point is Behati deserves all this, because SHE IS TRUE to Adam, she has never ever used him, and she is always there for him: it’s basically already 8 months they are together and out of these 8 months she has spent a good 5 to 6 with him constantly (an impressive percentage, which speaks volumes: she works, she executes her things then no matter what she joins him back wherever and whenever possible and sometimes she does it even when it’s uneasy or crazy to do so, for even just a weekend like it did happen this December in between heavy working schedules. Basically Behati is the perfect girlfriend for Adam. And I LOVE IT).

Take this video detailing the couple history in this very busy December (busy for both… but still they managed 3 out of 4 weeks together IN FULL… round of applauses again ):

Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine – December 2012

►

Just to understand how much Bee is like Adam and despise paps, look at the face she made (or at the one she DIDN’T) when she was snapped stepping into Adam’s car in the streets of LA on December 27th:

Behati Prinsloo in Los Angeles Dec 27th 2012 steps into Adam Levine car

Little side note: as this couple is completely private, stupid obnoxious people keep falter and freak anytime for a few days there are not news of them together.

I say this because around the middle of the month I got crazy people’s requests about my acknowledge of the status of Adam & Bee’s coupling, just because a few days before I had written to my friend that Adam had been at Teddy’s on December 6th (like people cannot have fun with friends once they are coupled… and yes, Teddy’s is a special place for Adam but he got there cos it was renewed to party with crew after he went back from Nashville and the Grammy Nomination gig… is that a crime?).

This was some of the pics I got sent about his Teddy’s outing but NO ONE reported to me he did ANYTHING wrong or disrespectful to his lover there:

Adam Levine at Teddys in LA 6th December 2012

Since Behati was yet working that day and since (as usual) when the pair re-met for a super quick hot time in between her working duties (she went also to Miami to shoot another NEXT UK campaign just hours after they could re-embrace) they DIDN’T INFORM the world (and why should have they…) beside some usually amazing cryptic tweets in their own language people keep NOT understanding (and which I find amazing) crazy obsessed people started to question the state of their relationship (again… just because I guess they have no life of their own?).

Also, I have been told, because some stupid kid had believed words put on a FAKE Adam’s Facebook and Instagram.

LITTLE NEWS, idiots: ADAM HAS NO FACEBOOK AND NO INSTAGRAM.

You stupid little people please go check the header of OFFICIAL MAROON 5 & MEMBERS list of their REAL social accounts by clicking on (guess what?) the OFFICIAL site and just take a look… ADAM HAS NO FACEBOOK NOR INSTAGRAM:

Adam Levine has NO Facebook and NO Instagram…

Sadly, since brain is (way too often) a quality miss by way too many people, the fact (I repeat: as USUAL) Behati and Adam don’t share their lives for strangers, I got these requests by people (some of them were polite and not harassing though) which I answered the only way I could: namely, that I had no clue about their couple’s state because it’s not my biz, but only theirs, and that people should stop have interest in what they clearly want to remain PRIVATE .

I got later informed how crazy freaks created multiple twitter accounts harassing on Adam blaming him for having fun after dumping Behati (?), while some other crazy ones were harassing Behati telling her how happy they were Adam had finally dumped her (?).

THIS IS INSANE and people need to get a life.

Pronto.

Behati stays discreetly aside Adam as he plays drum at The Voice wrap party, here with Blake Shelton on the other side of him

Now… PLEASE listen.

BEHATI and ADAM are together NOT for the fans; they have no duty towards fans about informing them about the state of their relationship; this because the fans are so regarding THEIR JOBS (which are public) but the fact is those fans have NO RIGHTS AT ALL to know about their lives together because ADAM and BEE’s life is THEIR OWN THING, and it’s a PRIVATE thing, not a public one.

Again… Adam is a VERY reserved person.

All his trash talk about how people put their lives (and their sons’ ones) up in reality shows for strangers to watch don’t suggest you ENOUGH how he hates when private things go way too public?

Anytime he states he can’t stand reality shows about celebrities doing stupid things strangers shouldn’t witness or be interested in (KartTrashian, anyone?) or the way he has stated MANY times he hates kids pageant contests and even more reality TV about the life of kids (yeah, Honey boo Boo and that awful family exploiting), can’t you realize he says it all because he CLEARLY thinks private life shall be PRIVATE, this even if (or even more if) you are a celebrity?

Sure, in his previous relationship he was FORCED to public display his lovelife because that was all his former “girlfriend” was interested in and he fell for her and her request before getting back to his proper senses… but lucky  for him now Behati is in the relationship for THE TRUTH of it and for HIM and not his fame, so he can be as private as he likes to be and this means NO PHOTO OPS staged by his half calling paparazzi, no tweets to reveal everything , no “shows for crowds”.

And THIS IS HOW A REAL RELATIONSHIP must work.

Stunning Behati Prinsloo in dim lights

This is why Adam’s family is so fond of Behati.

This is why I hope this lasts a lot for them (and I repeat for the hundredth time: if it would end tomorrow, still the story between Adam and Bee would have been THE BEST RELATIONSHIP he has had so far in his – famous – life for how true and sincere it was on her part for sure); because Behati is there for Adam for real, and this is a pretty new thing for him, who’s always been used so much in recent years.

All of the fans who crave for their privacy to be outed… please get a life of yourself and stop this insanity. They don’t owe a thing that is private to their fans (and true fans would never claim they do); they owe to fans their public works and jobs, but there is a line to never be crossed nonetheless by fans and that line is the real life of the person(s) they follow.

That doesn’t belong to anybody but the people involved.

End of it.

Just wish A&B well and be happy for them and mind your own business.

They won’t share their lives with fans… and if you were real fans you would actually BE HAPPY about this.

By now after so many months that they are together and this reserved behavior is the norm, everyone shall be used to this, then why you are not?

Behati chats up with James’ girlfriend Ali Tamposi while admiring Adam at The Voice Wrap Party

You should be happy that they protect their life and love so strictly, because that makes them genuine to each other…

I definitely am happy about that because this is how Adam has always been before he got so much exploited for two years prior Behati arrived to save him (I don’t blame him for having been so hardly fooled by that previous person because I as well got fooled by her and believed for a longtime she was real and true, and despite having my fashion-related mates constantly putting me on guard about her I kept trusting she did actually care about Adam, while she was absolutely not interested in him but only in the push he would have graced her name in the USA with… I have to reckon how sometimes my fondness for looks deceives me so I can’t blame Adam for having the same weaknesses ).

It’s so much healthier for famous people to keep their most important things in life inside a private fence… so much of the famous’ lives has to be under scrutiny and that generally ruins it all… cherish the fact Adam has found somebody who takes care also of his need of keeping his love private because this makes it a million times more secure and real.

And then, now and forever (I wonder why I have to keep writing this so much as of late)… please everyone STOP considering my blog like a source, or stop asking me facts as I were better informed.

Sure, it happens that sometimes I know some things related to life of celebrities but this happens because due to my happy position in life, and the fact I am quite wealthy I can share the environments with some of them or it happens that I know people who are in the same circles BUT that doesn’t mean I have or I am a “source”, much less that I want this blog to be considered a “celebrity” or “gossip” blog.

THIS IS MY LIFE BLOG.

Behati sneaking at The Voice Season 3 Wrap Party December 2012

Here I write about what I like and since I do like Maroon 5 and Adam (since a decade by now) it happens that i write about them but at NO RATE this is a “source” nor I am so stop treat me and here as it would be.

I am not in for racking readers so if you don’t think this suits you just leave.

This blog is only meant to be a (surely not life long) little memory of myself and about myself.

And my likes.

It’s NOT a celebrity/gossip blog.

Get it?

Can you all please stop trying to catch from here things that are not supposed to belong here, and most of all, can you just stop trying to portray me as a gossip blogger?

There are a very few things that I dislike more than gossip bloggers in fact.

Alright, fine.

Let’s move on…

Now just to prove that here I can write about whatever I like or dislike, let me have a moment of INFINITE LOLING because I have been recently informed by all of my friends who watch The Fuckery That Karaoke Show that thing on how there are people who would like and who actively push for a couple Adam Levine + Christina Aguilera.

Pardon me if I am just in tears of laughter even now that I write this.

SERIOUSLY?

Rocking the exotic features – Behati Prinsloo

Adam with super short, super fat Christina “Xtina” Aguilera??

Ahahahahha hahahahah ahaha…. I can’t even begin to process how absolutely hilarious this is (I mean… to even project this as anyone with brain’s dream scenario… lmao).

Beside the fact Adam probably doesn’t even like her as person, and put on a good front only for the sake of his (dreadful) tv show, waiting for her to finally exit it after this season, I mean… ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Do you know which types Adam likes?

He likes SLIM, TALL; BEAUTIFUL and perfect looking women.

I don’t really realize how people can be so naive to think he would EVER date “regular” chicks.

Why should he?

He never did not even when he was a struggling nobody, because his background still wealthy and he is born and raised in LA, which means by default you don’t really look out for anything less than someone REALLY thin and pretty.

You REALLY think he would EVER consider a 5’2” (or even less) woman of 30 with the weight and shape (by now) of a whale to be his?

REALLY?

The more I try to picture the situation, the more I laugh.

I can’t stop…

ahahahha… I can’t:

Adam Levine would NEVER be with Xtina fat short mess be serious

This kind of things just make me roll up my eyes so much.

Face it people: Adam likes the model type.

Always had, always will.

He loves people with legs long (VERY long) and thin to climb on them like a tree.

Remember his then girlfriend Kelly in This Love video? remember the way he caresses her legs there? Remember that touch and be assured (I mean… REALLY be, because that is a first-hand notion I can put my entire body on flames for) that for being with Adam Levine, even for a quick time, the last thing you have to be is fat.

Behati Prinsloo for VS Swimsuit 2013

Let alone mildly obese as poor Aguilera is now (but her voice is a treasure so my idea on her looks or the fact I don’t really like the way her personality seems to be – I say seems because I do NOT know her and I don’t pretend to – doesn’t affect my idea about her as a very talented singer, this better be clear).

Okay.

Back to more real stuff now and sorry for the break-in but I laughed so hard when my friends (practically all of them unfortunately watch that awful tv show so they get easily taken by people debating on the outputs of it, and this insane “Adamtina” – ewwwwwww the name – seems one of the most talked about out of them ) told me this that I had to write something about it.

I still laughing right this moment if you wonder .

While we are at it, after the latest shots of Behati for VS Swim 2013 (better commented in stylish French oui), take also her latest for the Spring campaign of NEXT UK:

Behati Prinsloo for NEXT UK SS 2013 Collection

She’s so fresh and cute

So natural… there’s absolutely ZERO sham or ploy in her and this I think is also why Adam gifted her a living creature for Xmas, beside some other things…

Behati tea-cup pig Adam got her

He gave her that adorable tea-cup pig (I melt about it if I may add) because he knows she is lovingly and can take care of a creature, the same way she has been taking so well care of him for all these months.

I wonder if Adam also gifted Behati with “tons of vintage (rock) t-shirts” as she so cutely asked when interviewed for the magazines pre- VSFS 2012 :

They are in Las Vegas right now for Maroon 5 stint at Mandalay Bay Resort…

I hope Behati was able to cross patterns with her dear Coco Rocha in Las Vegas last night (Coco went away just a few hours ago from there but the two have been in the same town for at least 24 hours so there was hopefully a met up ) because it’s a longtime Coco misses her Bee being her always by Adam’s side and rarely in New York (and when Bee was there, Coco was away).

If you have doubts, look how Adam left the gig this past night:

This is a lil collage of this past night concert (not that after Adam dressed up for dining at Aureole Wine Lounge in  the hotel… with whom? as usual they are never there to be caught so don’t freak if you don’t hear reports but they were there together and all loved up and as usual glued to one another the way they are when no one beside their people are with them… I am sure they took great care of each other this past night … just like ANY OTHER night ):

Maroon 5 at Las Vegas Mandalay Bay resort 29 Dec 2012

I hope they can have a great New Years’ Eve (and maybe they won’t be forced to spend it in New York as maybe the Adam’s part in NBC NYE special are taped? I hope so… he has worked enough for them in this 2012 he deserves free time. Certainly the Chelsea Lately he is in days after is a rerun so he could be as well in Africa by 2013… and sure it must be time to fly together in South Africa maybe? We’ll see; it’s only their choice of course )… as well as I wish the same to every single one of my babies Maroon (past and present and future… because it’s clear Jesse is starting to re-adjust at the idea of getting back with them and I ADORE this perspective ) and their significant others.

I wish them the best and to have a 2013 in everything as great to them as 2012 was.

The same I wish to myself & my perfect hubby all of our family & friends and what else?

I guess it’s all.

Have everyone a super happy and super fun (and super safe also… SEXY, but safe ok? ) End and Start of The Year and catch you sometimes in a month or so

Happy Life and Farewell to 2012… you’ve been REALLY good dear, Hope your brother 2013 can follow through as greatly

Missus Z.

I’m always emotional every year when the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is near because it’s literally something I’ve waited a whole year for. It’s bigger than my birthday, honestly Christmas and any major events of the year. Usually, I’ll watch the show immediately after it’s released but this year it took a little longer because I wanted to wait for the right time – Christmas.

Unfortunately, I’ve heard and seen a lot about the show. Even though I try to ninja through the Tumblr, instagram and Facebook photos; and also dodge the VS store in Ion when they play the show, I’ve seen bits and pieces of the show and read a lot of feedback about it. Nevertheless, here’s my take on the show and what I loved about it.

This year’s shows was honestly the first show I felt was too short despite being the same duration as all the past year’s shows. Honestly, I am obssesing with every single segment and the performances were lined up so perfectly.

I had a handful of favourite looks and decided to go according to each segment.

First up was Circus. Before I watched this segment, I did see photos of it and I was excited about every single outfit put together. VS were very wild, exploring the use of props and colours to create quirky Circus Character

I’m definitely in love with Adriana’s Circus Master outfit! And who better to start this year’s show than her

And definitely Miranda’s outfit. I absolutely loved how gorgeous Miranda looked this year. She was exceptionally radiant I’m so happy because I know she’s having the time of her life with her career, Orlando and Flynn

Look at all those crystals and that snake!!

Dangerous Liasons. It was one of most favourite segments this year. With Rihanna’s singing her No. 1 hit Diamonds, and Behati opening a segment that’s not PINK for the first time. How could anyone not love it?

From the wings, to the sultry black outfit to the model, this look deserves all the attention it gets.

Outfit of the NIGHT! And who better to wear it than Constance Jablonski. She looks so much like Barbie and has those bright blue eyes to match her eye-catching wings. This is officially also one of my favourite looks of all fashion shows.

Miranda glowing on the runway agin. And I adore the shade of pink on her So cute

Shanina Shaik!

I liked Doutzen’s Wings and how it beautifully contrasted with her skin tone and her white outfit.

Calender girls, in my opinion, was one of the most creative segment. As I watched each girl who represented each month walk on the runway, it somehow reminded me about every significant event that happened throughout the year. Although I don’t celebrate all the same holidays and events as Americans, it was heartening to be able to take a look at how their year usually played out

I was excited to see Erin open the show~ Although I was sad that she did not manage to walk out with her favourite pink hat during the show they recorded.

Here’s the cute hat. Its glittery and pink so I love it too! haha

I did not like this outfit at first sight because of the design of the wings in the front. But I saw its back view, I decided I love it’s back view a lot.

Hilary Rhonda for St Patrick’s Day Super cute outfit!

Bee for Halloween! I’m extremely pleased and thrilled that VS let her wear this outfit. There is no better model that could suit this look than the playful and adorable Behati!

Frida!!!! Okay, I told myself that I cannot start on how amazing it is to have her on the show. Lets that say that she looked absolutely cute on the runway.

Lily’s 4th of July outfit was the first photo I saw of the show and it was certainly love at first sight. I loved everything about the outfit and she looks like wonderwoman. I think its beautiful – the gold, metallic blue and red matched flawlessly Definitely one of my favourites this year.

Barbara Palvin has to be the next VS angel. She has the looks, personality and the appeal. VS released 3 runway designs earlier this year and I was so overwhelmed to find out that Barbara will be wearing the Santa one. She looks so perfect in it in spite of the issues with her boots.

I want Sui He’s onesie so bad!! It’s so adorable! Not always a fan of leopard prints but this would look so adorable to put on!

I’m biased towards this outfit because it’s a nutcracker. I just have a soft spot for nutcrackers especially during the Christmas Season. Christmas is never complete without a nutcracker. Love them so much! Thank you VS for finally coming up with a nutcracker outfit.

Silver Screen Angels with Bruno Mars singing Young Girls and Lindsey opening the show. I love how the segment was adorned with swarovski crystals, silk and feathers. It was so royal and romantic. Very old hollywood.

Lindsay’s wings was one of my favourites purely because it formed a heart-shaped that looked like 2 white swans. I look at this outfit everytime and my heart melts.. Such an effortlessly flawless piece.

Magdelana doing her thing

And with this, Miranda is officially a triple threat. In my opinion, Miranda has the best 3 outfits of the show. She looked like a million bucks and was basically the highlight of the 2012 fashion show. Thanks.

Final segment with the Million Dollar Fantasy Bra. Although it did not cut for me, I thought that no one could have worn it better than Ale did. Nevertheless, I felt that Ale could have received more attention and hype for it and the fact that there was a more expensive (just slightly less marketed) outfit than Ale was really upsetting to me. Ale had waited more than a decade to get this kind of outfit was really unfair to her.

But focusing on this outfit, Ale was definitely stunning in it. Like I mentioned, this outfit was made for her and only her. I just hope that Ale gets another before she leaves.

She’s so proud of her outfit and deserved to be.

Before I go on, can I just say that Rihanna totally phreshed that runway! She was rocking the show so much. See what I mean.

Candice opening the show was just a brilliant piece of work. Not loving the wings again but Candice looked phenomenal in the outfit. I was not a big fan of all Candice’s outfit as compared to last year’s but Candice pulled it off nonetheless I just loved Candice’s makeup and hair in this year’s show – it’s fantastic.

Favourite Karlie outfit. I did like the controversial Native outfit but I decided not to put it up as form of respect. I think Karlie looks very radiant in this outfit and the colours just matches her in every way.

Behati’s the other angel that made all three of her outfits my favourite. I’m finally pleased that VS took Behati out of the pink segment and allow her to really grow as an Angel. She looks like a thumbelina here with the giant flower all around her.

And ending again with Adriana Lima everyone!

This year’s Fashion Show had some downs too. Some models I wanted to see so badly like Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Chanel Iman, Sara Sampaio, Nina Adgal did not walk for the show. I also thought in some ways the show lacked creativity. Some outfits looked like they were remade from earlier fashion shows. Like Frida’s outfit  in Calendar Girls looked like Tyra Banks during her last VS show. Breje’s outfit in Dangerous Liasons looked like last year’s theme.

Regardless, I’m still a big fan of this year’s show. I felt Victoria’s Secret did not disappoint this year in certain aspects but I’m definitely looking forward to a breakthrough next year!! I loved the performances done by Rihanna, Bruno and Justin. I was just thankful it was not Psy doing Oppa Gangnam Style because everyone is kinda so sick of it already. Counting down to the next fashion show!

And being this MY blog, and being this MY world, I decided to do this through what makes me feel always… any possible way

To wish the world a happy Xmas (but not yet a wonderful New year because before Year ends I will properly update the blog… with my life, my likes and stuff, with a recap of the wonderful 2012 Maroon 5 have had, with Behati and Adam and their strong ongoing love all out of paparazzi’s reach, and with much more… JUST that it will be then and not now ) I put up for you all to enjoy THE BEST CONCERT I haven’t been to – and trust me I wish I had the tickets for it!!! – which I hope inspires you all the most positive charge for these holidays.

It’s a gift and I hope you appreciate.

Please, buy the album as I have immediately done too or donate directly from the site so that you can help those in needs.

Christmas shall essentially be a great chance for everybody to be there for others.

And it’s be great if Xmas could happen actually every… week for it

Happy Xmas time.

See you in a few days for the REAL blog update and the farewell to 2012

Missus Z.

A second representation of dos, from me to all of you. Its about being confident in ones self and never being ashamed of ones actions. What happens, happens for a reason. No shame = Fame, Enjoy:)

Onto the show!

If you caught the show two nights ago, you’d know just how magical it was. If you didn’t, I hope you or a friend DVRed it otherwise, if you missed the second showing last night, here’s your last resort: Victoria’s Secret YouTube channel.

If you don’t want me to spoil the fun, stop reading here because I’m about to do a recap of my favorite looks of the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

My favorite time of the year in fashion isn’t just all the fashion weeks that go on in New York, Milan, and Paris because trust me, it’s super fun following my favorite bloggers on their adventures and seeing all the creativeness oozing from my all-time favorite designers. However, the fashion industry wouldn’t be the same without Victoria’s Secret being involved in some kind of way.

The drama, themes, and amount of glitter, feathers, and sequins they use is never too much to them. (That’s why I’ve always been a huge VS fan!) With a mindset like that, you get amazing shows like theirs that’s like no other.

They make it all seem surreal, like this look with Candice in the CIRCUS segment.

CIRCUS: Candice Swanepoel
So much jewels that you can’t help, but stare at her lady parts! Come on, admit it.

Miranda Kerr, my second favorite VS Angel, took my breath away as soon as she walked out in this costume. I believe my exact words were, “Holy wow!”

CIRCUS: Miranda Kerr
An elegant Tinkerbell or Mother Nature Goddess who came from the stars?

Ale’s look was so simple, yet eye-catching!

CIRCUS: Alessandra Ambrosio
The jewels framing her face still can’t compete with her beauty!

The Silver Screen Angels segment was my absolute favorite. With Lindsay opening in this gorgeous costume and gigantic wings, how could it not be my favorite part of the whole show?!

Dangerous Liaisons: Lindsay Ellington
I believe “Wow!” kept coming from my mouth until she stepped off the catwalk.

I didn’t know Behati really well until this year when they did the pre-show with her.

Dangerous Liaisons: Behati Prinsloo
She’s quite an edgy girl, so this look fit perfectly with her. The black lace completely balanced out the angelic details of the feathers and gold in her wings.

Constance’s gorgeous turquoise wings totally surprised me considering the fact that every look prior was in black and silver in this part of the show.

Dangerous Liaisons: Constance Jablonski
I really wish they could’ve changed her shoes though. I LOVE bows, but I wish they had taken them off her wings. Simplicity would’ve been the key here.

When Cameron stepped out in this B-E-A-Utiful number, my jaw dropped to the ground and stayed there even when I saw the back of her costume!

Silver Screen Angels: Cameron Russell
It’s safe to say that she’s the Queen of Swarovski, yes?

The amount of jewels on Doutzen’s body was so eye-catching as was her headpiece!

Silver Screen Angels: Doutzen Kroes
I can totally see her as the head dancer of a big show someday!

Lily completely surprised me in this pop of fuchsia look in a sea of black and silver costumes.

Silver Screen Angels: Lily Donaldson
“What a colorful princess!” is what her look totally reads.

Miranda always gets the most elegant looks. Maybe it’s her dimples that sway the costume designers to give these great outfits to her.

Silver Screen Angels: Miranda Kerr
Yep, she’s seriously a real-life angel!

Cutie pie Erin Heatherton opened the Calendar Girls segment in the most adorable look!

Calendar Girls: Erin Heatherton
When they had the problem with her hat, you could tell she was so confused and upset that she couldn’t wear it. I don’t blame her. It really made the costume. They could’ve at gave it to her to hold at least. That poor artisan who spent so much time making it!

I absolutely adore Miss February! The bow is just TOO adorable!

Calendar Girls: Candice Swanepoel
She can be my Valentine any day!

Lindsay as Miss June was stunning in this bridal look!

Calendar Girls: Linsday Ellington
Can I steal her heart-shaped wings? They are so heavenly!

The fun Lily Aldridge as Miss July looked super cute in patriotic colors.

Calendar Girls: Lily Aldridge
I think she could pass for a sexier version of Wonder Woman, yes?

Was it just me or was Barbara’s walk really awkward?

Calendar Girls: Barbara Palvin
Nevertheless, Miss December looked quite adorable in her Santa costume.

I squealed like a little school girl when I saw Elsa during the Pink Ball segment!

Calendar Girls: Elsa Hosk
How incredibly fun was her spinning wings and super colorful sequin jacket?!

Anyone ready to go to the beach with Barbara?

Calendar Girls: Barbara Fiahlo
I was quite intrigued with the cut of this bathing suit. If anyone buys it, just don’t stay out in the sun too long!

Karlie was definitely the flower child in the Angels in Bloom segment.

Angels in Bloom: Karlie Kloss
I like how her wings and the leaves on her waist made her lingerie pop.

I’m sure like the rest of you, we all said, “A lily pad for Lily!” when she came out?

Angels in Bloom: Lily Alridge
I love how her waist looked like it was covered in flames!

How incredibly clever to make Bee as the center of the flower!

Angels in Bloom: Behati Prinsloo
Exotic like the orchid. How perfect.

This lavender-esque look on Candice was so pretty against her golden skin!

Angels in Bloom: Candice Swanepoel
Definitely dig all the vines on all the angels’ shoes during this segment!

Like all of you, I was really surprised it took VS this long to let Ale wear the Fantasy Bra, but I’m so happy that she got her moment to shine. How pretty are her wings?!

Angels in Bloom: Alessandra Ambrosio
I love the pop of green leaves on her hips!

And just like that, it’s over!

I’m not a Rihanna fan, but she did absolutely amazing in both of her performances! I love it when musicians sound like their albums instead of sounding worse when they perform live. Bruno Mars‘ shows were great! A sultry singer and a great dancer along with his group!

From the beginning, when VS first announced this year’s performers, I did not think Justin Bieber was a good choice for the musical act because I believe those chosen should have some kind of sexiness about themselves, but he really surprised me in his solo performance and dang, can he dance! I’m still not a Bieber fan though. However, I do give him kudos for all of his successes no matter how many guys hate him. Hey, he was the one with his arms around the models, so I can see why the guys bash him, haha!

If you didn’t catch the pre-show, you should have! Adriana is so incredibly motivational. Before her segment ended, she asked if she could say something to the audience and everyone who was watching. She said that there is one word we must all remember: determination. She spoke about how anyone could do anything as she was referencing to the pressure to get her body in shape in time before the show after having her second baby. What a great role model she is (pun intended)!

Tim Ferriss bounced off what Adriana said as he led into his part of the pre-show. He was absolutely adorable! He talked about his book The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape the 9-5, which was so intriguing that I’m actually going to go and check out his book to see what he has to say. The pre-show ended with him teaching Ale (who looked stunning in her beige/nude dress) how to cook a quick and healthy meal and Behati looking straight into the camera up close and talking about the Twitter world with Lily (too hilarious) and reading teleprompters.

What did you think of the show? Who are your favorite VS Angels? Any costumes you liked?

Thank you for reading! Xx

First off, horrible music. The only good performance was Rihanna’s second performance because she looked hilarious and I hadn’t heard that song before (being pounded into my ears every time I turn the radio on, ugh). Way to be boner killers, though, Bieber and Mars.

Second, I was pretty disgruntled that there wasn’t a lot of Candice Swanepoel throughout the show, but then she got her own package towards the end, so all was well in the world. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’ll be the one to wear the Fantasy Bra next year, so that’ll be something hot to look forward to. And I have a feeling 2013 will be a big year for her. Woo hoo! She’s my favorite if you guys didn’t already know that (but why are you here if you didn’t c;?).

Third, the packages were pretty blah. I liked some of them, but they should have more of them and more of the Angels talking (Candice didn’t say anything!). More candid moments would be nice. That hat drama for the Calendar Girls segment with Erin Heatherton was funny because she was so cute being all confused and flustered and they were shouting at her to just walk. More of the Angels talking and less of Justin Bieber sitting there like a little shit. I mean, come on, you can sit there when the models are walking, but at least put on a show.

Fourth, some of the Pink models were actually cute this year, but I can’t be bothered to search their names. Maybe we will see them in the next couple of years as Angels.

Fifth, I found out you can get a ticket to the Fashion Show if you enter an auction. The ticket package starts at $25,000, so there goes that dream!

So pictures suck on WordPress, so here are links to my Tumblr posts with my favorites. I decided to edit some because I don’t know.

MY FIRST POST is models that are not currently Angels. Five models I took notice of were Joan Smalls, Jacqueline Jablonski, Isabeli Fontana, Sui He, and Hilary Rhoda. Hilary looks super hot on her first VSFS walk. And it’s always good to see an old Angel, Izabel Goulart, still looking hot. She always reminds me of high school for some reason lol.

MY SECOND POST is most of the Angels that aren’t necessarily my favorites, but are still super hot. Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything special about Lindsay Ellingson. And then there’s Lily Aldridge, who looks super-hot in the Calendar girls segment. God bless America. Doutzen Kroes has been growing on me for sure, and she definitely knows how to stick her ass out properly. Adriana Lima just had a baby, so yeah, it’s crazy how good she looks. Miranda Kerr looks like a precious angel and the way the light was on her back and we just saw her silhouette walking…that was hot. Definitely looked great in this outfit. And Alessandra, an old favorite. Probably the hottest of the night in the Fantasy bra. The whole look was perfect and the way she ruffled her tail-feathers leaves was soooo hot.

MY THIRD POST is comprised of my #3 and #2 Angels. Erin Heatherton has that not super hot but still sexy and cute all-American look that is always a winner. She looked great in the Circus segment, but her as Baby New Year was just too cute. Behati Prinsloo, who has been on my radar for a while, has definitely upped her confidence, looking hotter than ever in the Angels in Bloom segment. However, in that witch outfit, I couldn’t deny how cute she was.

MY FOURTH POST is, of course, the best Angel of all time, Candice Swanepoel, who really does look good in everything (and nothing, too). That flower one, though. My glob. There is not much to say, just stare and be happy.

Any other thoughts? Does anyone even have thoughts about this? Or are we all just zombified for the whole hour (I know I ran to take a quick pee break the second the first commercial came on).

Okay, enough of letting my hormones talk. Back to your regular scheduled Christmas stuff. See y’all next year!

Which sexy costumes strikes you the most??? OR who’s your favorite angel???

Tonight’s the night. The annual anxiety provoking fashion show also known as The Victoria’s Secret fashion show airs on CBS at 10pm ET/PT.

This year’s musical acts are Rihanna, Bruno Mars, and Justin Bieber. Alessandra Ambrosio was granted the pricey task of strutting down the runway with the $2,5 million 20-carat diamond bra strapped across her chest. And of course all the other familiar VS angels are in the show this year too, including Adriana Lima (who by the way is the only angel that looks even remotely healthy compared to her skeletal model friends), Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes, Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo, Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge, and Lindsay Ellingson.

Will you be watching?

Photos from here, here and here.

Supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Doutzen Kroes, Elsa Hosk, Erin Heatherton, Jessica Hart, Lily Aldridge, Lindsay Ellingson and Miranda Kerr get some help from Justin Bieber as they turn up the volume on ‘Beauty & A Beat’ and the heat, making lip synching look better than ever. Maybe a few pop stars should take some tips from these masters of the runway. Check out the VS Fashion Show tonight on CBS at 10/9c!
