The BE ALL and END ALL of jumpsuits was created by Charlotte Ronson (Spring/Summer 2009). Ciara “Work”-ed it in her newest video, Beyonce immortalized it in an interview with VH1 and the rest is history. I am not surprized that people are scrambling to buy it – if they can afford it. What could be easier than throwing on this one piece and not having to worry about the rest…

Ciara was looking RIGHT during Janet Jackson’s AMA after-party at the W Hotel in Westwood, CA.  Yes, she might need to eat just a little bit more before she’s considered a true thorough-bred by the MO staff but looks like this don’t hurt her one bit.  Peep Janet, Cuba Gooding Jr and Johnny Gill when you

Britney Spears… “Blur”

It wasn’t a single, but it’s one of my absolute favorites from Brit… (another fan made video)

Keri Hilson… “Energy”

I wasn’t a huge fan of the video but, the vocals and melody are fire…

Ciara featuring Justin Timberlake “Love Sex Magic”

Can Ciara get any hotter than this video…whew! Go girl… Justin’s a great boy toy for this one, but it’s Ciara’s world

É pessoal a nova da música da Ciara está muito boa. Vem com o requebrado sempre presente da  morena em várias partes dessa baladinha romântica. Pra quem curte ouvir uma música mais levada nesse ritmo tranquilo Never Ever é um prato cheio.

Na minha opinião …

O clipe está muito bem produzido, sem conta que o remelexo da Ciara faz bem aos olhos de qualquer um =D

Curtam o clipe dessa música show de bOla …

If you thought Peaches looked cool on her album cover, look no further than LA-based Brian Lichtenberg for your very own fix. This young man is loved by indie rockers, electro artists and R&B divas alike, and his designs have graced artists such as Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, M.I.A, Yelle, Santigold, Daft Punk, Lil’ Wayne, Rie Rie, Ciara and Beyonce. Phew! I am in die-hard love with his amazing leggings and sexy dresses. The collection is avaliable to buy on Alex and Chloe, but be sure to check out his myspace too!

Another fight between the BFF! Een paar post terug hadden Kim en Ciara

ook al hetzelfde jurkje aan en nu hebben ze weer hetzelfde jurkje

aan dit keer afkomstig van de zara! Erg budget dus. Hij staat beide dames

weer leuk. Meestal vind ik Kim alles leuker staan, maar dit keer

ben ik voor Ciara! Ze draagt het jurkje nonchalanter en draagt de juiste

items erbij. Goede riem en schoenen. Jammer voor Kim die het jurkje

droeg naar een charity event.

Dear Shoe Addicts,

another opportunity has come to spend a lot on shoes again. Well, if you like them, of course.

Dear Shoe Addicts, give me one good reason why you wouldn’t!

How can it be, that each and every pair by her is a fantastic piece of work? The sandals cost around $400, the boots cost around $800 (4,5″ heels plus a 0,5″ platform). What else do I have for you?

The “Detroit” has a 4″ heel, easy-peasy, right? Jessica must have spent around $1000 on them…

The last pair I’ve got for you today is yet another marvelous pair by Mr Louboutin:

Which one is your favorite?

New decade New music, Beyonce and Lady Gaga have token over the charts this past year. So don’t expect them to slow dowm for the 2010. Beyonce announced at her final concert in London that she would be reconding a new album for next year Beyonce’World reports. Also mega producer Rodney “Darkchild’ Jerkins also hinted on his twitter that he was working on somthing somthing for the super diva. The Beyonce haters and even some fans thinks she should give it a rest. I think Bey has one more album in her before she steps away from the spotlight at  for a while.

Pop sensation Lady Gaga said in a recent interview

The Fame Monster really is a new album, so I guess it’s kind of my second album, and then I’ll put out a third album I guess next year.”

GaGa will now join Beyonce, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and many others who are due to drop their next albums in 2010.

Latoya also is putting in more work for another Lp she said

In the next couple of months I’ll be starting on my third solo album.

I always talk about what I’m going through at the time [on my albums]. The Lady Love album was filled with some of the angry records, the confused records, but it also had the sweet “I Need A U’s” and all of those things, so I’ll try and make another gumbo record, just mix it up. Hopefully I’ll be more in love on the next album!

I Need A U was one of the best songs Of this year. We need more of that please. Really excited for  next year. It’s going to go so hard yall just don’t know.

Also expect new releases from No Doubt, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Ciara ,Cassie, Christina Milan and a lot more.

KZM returns with a new mashup of Love, Sex, & Magic with Abracadabra from Brown Eyed Girls.

Best friend forever battle! Haha Kim en Ciara zijn al enige tijd goede vriendinnen en zijn in hetzelfde

jurkje gespot. Ciara droeg het jurkje als eerste in mei tijdens haar release van Fantasy Ride.

Kim droeg het jurkje in Oktober naar haar bday party in LA.

Het jurkje met de brede schouders is erg mooi en het staat beide dames erg goed. Toch vind ik hem

Kim mooier staan. De booties staan er ook erg leuk bij, terwijl ik er nooit heel erg fan van ben.

Okay, this is the final part of the stories behind the tracks on my album Quiet Storm.  Parts 1, 2 and 3 can be viewed if you click on those little numbers, and I want to thank everyone once and again for supporting my album and my blog.  I really appreciate it, and I hope that these behind-the-music notes have added a little to your enjoyment of my music.  On with the show!

18. Role Model (Interlude)

This was originally an entire song which was a rap song with a sung chorus. You can hear the original full version on my High Fashion mixtape but although the lyrics were kinda cool, I wasn’t too keen on my flow in places and I thought that I would rather not have the raps as part of my album.  Nevertheless, I appreciated the idea of the chorus and feeling misrepresented in society as a young person, a gay man, a singer, my music tastes, where I come from, my heritage… all those things are categorised and yet how many of us actually fit the stereotypes for those categories?  I felt that it led into the next song well, as it is about exposing who I am as a person, and not letting anyone’s pigeon holes or preconceived notions dictate who I am.  This is me, and this is…

19. The Truth

This song is probably the most heartfelt I’ve been in any of my songs recorded to date.  It discusses my relationship with my family, life and death, my emotional state and insecurities, my childhood, my education, and music.  It is the truth of who I am – sometimes we feel sad or hard done by, and other times we remember how happy we have been and whatever happens, we just have to keep going and get on with it anyway.  This song is a bit scratchy due to the fact that I have recorded myself playing acoustic guitar on the track (yes, that is me!) and it didn’t work perfectly, though I think it did the job.  I liked the guitar and the piano and the beat – it combined together well to be a midtempo R&B joint that was musically quite stable and almost sunny, yet anchored in place by some really heavy lyrics.  I thought it would originally have been the album closer, but then you’ll see I changed my mind about that.

20. Last Chance

I wanted the last song proper on the album to be a dance song – something that really went out with a bang! I decided this because sometimes (in keeping with the nocturnal theme of the album) you’re not ready to go home at the end of a night, until the DJ has played one final song that really gets you to annihilate the dancefloor and you can just let yourself go with the music before calling it a wrap.  This song is that song – I was inspired by “Work” by Ciara (sampled on the track!), “Get Me Bodied” by Beyoncé, “Boom Boom Pow” by the Black Eyed Peas and just any song that really makes me want to move.  Other songs sampled in this are Paulina Rubio’s “Sexi Dance” (at the very end when the track fades out) which gives the song a late-night / early morning sensuous hue, and Beethoven’s “Für Elise” – just because it worked! I was crafting this track for a really long time, and between utilising the beat at the end of “All Night Long” to give the album a sense of circularity and closure, and trying to really fire up the beats and make them incendiary, I just tried to be as crazy as possible.  The rap, the off-kilter song structure with multiple hooks and instrumental at the beginning, the extended coda – it’s really going for broke! And that was what I wanted for the last song.

21. Close

To once again fit with the theme of closure and circularity, this is the “outro” of the album, to pair with the “Open” intro – again, I wanted to use the word “Close” in two different ways, both signifying the end of the album and also bringing in the idea of just wanting someone to hold you close, and desiring that intimacy (not necessarily sexually) at the end of the night, just before the sun rises and you’re feeling contemplative.

22. Lucky To Have You (Bonus Track)

My grandfather passed away during the creation of this album, and I remember being at Oxford and hearing on the telephone from my mother and grandmother that his health was really deteriorating. I wrote this song to comfort him (though he never heard it, and neither has anyone else in my family) as he passed away – I wasn’t allowed to go home and see him because it was in the middle of my finals, and he died and the funeral was held all while I was stuck in Oxford and expressly forbidden to come home.  I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forget that – feeling so helpless far away and yet just glad his suffering was over (his illness was long and protracted).  This song is really personal and dedicated to him; it doesn’t fit with the rest of the album, but I nevertheless wanted to include it somewhere so I thought a bonus track was the best opportunity.

That’s it!  Once again, please download my album if you haven’t already, and check out my blog! Thanks for all the support – I really appreciate it and I’ll keep the posts coming!

Take a look at this pic and you can see why for the first time ever in my life I wished I was at a Beyonce concert:

When do R&B singers go crowdsurfing?!? I hope she was wearing a chastity belt with an electric charge because if I was in that crowd she would’ve messed around and ended up pregnant. Real talk.

Somebody needs to send a memo about this to Keri Hilson, Rihanna, Ciara and other hot female R&B singers that can’t actually sing live worth a damn but are still worthy of gettin the bizniss from iThug. Since none of them are nearly as talented as Beyonce I couldn’t possibly enjoy their live performaces as is but surely I’d give it a shot if the show was a bit more “interactive”. Ya dig??

Ciara, has never gave me what I wanted! Am I the only 1, who feels this way?

Leona Lewis hit up the Hyde Lounge for a celebration of her “Echo” album.  How many of you f*%k with Leona’s music?  Feeling this outfit?  More pics when you
