I am finally out of this winter thing. Actually what pushed me out of it was a visit to a store.

The neon busy graphics, bold name, and sort of grunge kitty “feel” of Ivey Deschanel’s store always made me think perhaps it wasn’t a place for me. I  just don’t do that sort of grunge neko thing very well. However, I went in the other day and found that Ivey does a little more than sassy kitty clothing, and I liked what I saw.

This outfit from Ivey is glam and sexy and elegant all at once. The elaborate textures in the pants, as if burnt into a velvet, accentuate my long legs and curves with the sculpties that bottom out the legs in a flare. The jacket has a great bolero cut with a tied front—very modern and urban. But the sleeves, made of sculpties, have that decadent featheriness (without the cliched PS fur that everyone else uses) that makes this outfit truly glam. The rich depth of the top with its hand-drawn wrinkles and sexy low-cut back (shown here without the jacket) create a slinky and sensuous camisole. The look is complete and whole and ideal. Ivey’s system piece work is clean and well-done with great seams and edges. Her textures in this outfit are delicious.

Sachi Vixen has long been making skins, but her Portia line is a recent addition that once again displays her fine talents as an artist. I especially like the eye makeup on this skin with its subtle rainbow hues, entirely appropriate for an elegant glam girl—not over the top but pushing the edge. And her sexy décolletage is not over the top. I just don’t need to look like I am “enhanced.”

So I just discovered the wonders of Polyvore, but was dismayed to find that I would need to upgrade to Plus on Livejournal to be able to upload pictures. Then I remembered–I have a WordPress! Lo and behold, WordPress allows me to upload pictures. We are now friends again. Here’s my first few Polyvore sets, both inspired by Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl.

Prep School Madness

Blouse (H&M, $), Skirt (topshop.com), Shoes (rupertsanderson.co.uk), Headband (net-a-porter.com), Tights (modcloth.com)

This outfit is a play on Blair’s prep school uniform with its feminine, classic look. I repeated the black detail on the blouse with the cream pumps and added a beautiful silver headband, since I adore headbands.

A Night at the Met

Dress (Herve Leger, net-a-porter.com), Cardigan (farfetch.com), Trench Coat (Burberry, net-a-porter.com), Shoes (Giuseppe Zanotti, chickdowntown.com), Clutch (Treesje Mortale, endless.com), Necklace (By Malene Birger, net-a-porter.com)

This is a more glam, rather than feminine outfit. I tend to fall in a rut of picking the same old ruffley blouses and safe skirts, so this was a challenge to myself to mix it up by picking things I wouldn’t normally pick. The Herve Leger dress was what inspired me to create the outfit in the first place. I knew I needed a cardigan to cover up skin, and I thought this dark pewter color complemented the gold in the dress so nicely. Since it is fall, I needed a coat, and what better coat than a classic, form-flattering trench? The necklace and shoes were extra touches to give the outfit even more shine.

So what do you think? Would you read more of these articles?

Muito preto,muito dourado,super glam!!

I purchased a late birthday present for myself today. And I wasn’t too stingy.

$30.00 Shampoo + $30.00 Conditioner + $99.99 Flat-Iron = $159.99 before taxes.

My hair needed it though, Big time. My old flat-iron had a crack in it so it had been pulling and breaking my hair for months and I had been using $3.00 Wal*Mart shampoo without conditioner for some time.

The bottom line? I’m very metro sexual.

Ola pessoas!!!

Adivinha quem veio dos states para cair na night paulistana? Sim é ela!!! A trava mais perigosa de todos os tempos!

Amanda Lepore é uma das poucas Sobrevivente da era Clubber que não morreu de over-dose ou foi presa por ter esquartejado o seu traficante, modelo, hostess, cantora e travesti!

A musa Hethrette estará no Gloria esta sexta para a festa de encerramento da Casa de Criadores, super recomendo! Apenas pela presença do ser hauhauha!

Tras el lanzamiento del primer disco de The Darkness, Justin quiso empezar una carrera en solitario que empezó con el pseudónimo de British Whale, lanzando dos singles. El primero de ellos en el 2005, llamado ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough Of The Both Of Us’ un cover de un hit de Sparks de 1974, que incluía un b-side llamado ‘America’. El single obtuvo una buena repercusión, incluyendo videoclip lo que le dio fuerzas y ánimos a Justin para continuar trabajando en su disco solitario.

Ya en el 2006, con el segundo disco de Darkness en venta y en plena gira con la banda, edita su segundo single solitario, sólo para descarga: ‘England’, una canción que volvía a aparecer bajo el nombre de British Whale. La canción en sí era un himno para la selección inglesa de fútbol, ya que ese año, se celebraba un nuevo mundial de fútbol, y como bien se sabe, Justin es un gran adicto.

Terminando la gira de Darkness, en varias entrevistas Justin aseguraba que su disco en solitario estaba casi listo, y que llevaría como título: ‘Snatching Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory’. Sin embargo el disco nunca llegaría, pocas semanas después Justin se internaba en una clínica de desintoxicación y al salir, anunciaba su salida de The Darkness. Parece que al unísono de esto, sus ideas solistas como British Whale, también se estancaron, así lo mostraba su página oficial y su myspace. Mas tarde, su hermano Dan admitiría que en los últimos tiempos de grabación del segundo LP de Darkness, Justin solo pasaba por el estudio para grabar sus cosas, y para hablar de su disco en solitario pero que prácticamente no colaboraba en nada.

Durante el 2007, y sin ninguna noticia referente a la continuidad de Justin en el mundo de la música, se anuncia que Justin aparecerá en Eurovisión intentando representar a su país, con una canción de la época del disco de British Whale: ‘They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To’ en colaboración con la bella ‘Berveley Brown’…no fueron cogidos para representar a Inglaterra, y poco después Justin admitió que fue un error intentar aparecer en Eurovisión.

Poco después, abre un myspace en internet, y publica demos del nuevo proyecto que estaba preparando en solitario, en principio con el nombre de ‘Panther’. Las canciones que muestra, a diferencia de las antes citadas, son mas rockeras, ya que las de British Whale, tiraban mucho mas a un Electric Pop, parecido al ‘Girlfriend’ del segundo disco de la banda. Pero ese proyecto, no llegaría a la luz

En los primeros meses del 2008, con sus compañeros lanzando su primer disco como Stone Gods, se anuncia que Justin ha formado una nueva banda, con la que se propone realizar su disco en solitario pero lanzarlo bajo el nombre de Hot Leg y acompañado de tres colegas.

Y es así, ya que en el primer disco de Hot Leg, sólo escucharemos a Justin y no al resto del grupo, ya que el disco lo hizo como su supuesto disco en solitario, de hecho, esos demos en los cuales trabajaba en el 2007 serán algunas de las canciones que aparezcan en el mismo, a fecha de octubre del 2008, sin título.

En verano del 2008, se deciden a realizar su primer minitour por Inglaterra, mostrando algunas de esas canciones. El éxito es muy bueno, debido a la publicidad que se le da por haber sido el extravagante cantante de Darkness. Antes de esto, Justin estuvo en Los Ángeles masterizando el primer disco de la banda. Tras el minitour, empieza otro minitour de entrevistas a Justin sobre Hot Leg, admitiendo su parecido con el desaparecido Darkness, evidentemente; ya que como hemos dicho, lo que mas encontraremos en Hot Leg son todas las extravagancias de Justin, que hizo populares en Darkness. Él mismo estaba harto de las presiones de la discográfica que tenían, por eso, todo lo que aparezca a la venta de Hot Leg, será editado bajo el sello de ‘Barbecue Rock Records’ una compañía creada por él mismo.

Como promoción para la minigira de agosto, la banda ponía en disposición del público vía su myspace (www.myspace.com/teamhotleg) un tema supuestamente inédito en el disco, llamado ‘Heroes’, de descarga gratuita, que nos daba una idea de lo que nos encontraríamos en su disco. Una vez pasada la minigira, se anuncia para octubre la edición de su primer sencillo: ‘Trojan Guitar’ que se deja escuchar meses antes en su myspace. Se roda un videoclip, el cual una vez editado el single, no se puede observar por ningún sitio.

El single se edita en octubre, de descarga digital, tanto gratuitamente como no gratuita, solo conteniendo esa canción. Aprovechando la edición del single, se anuncia tour por inglaterra en octubre, y algunos shows como teloneros de Extreme en noviembre. Se anuncia la edición en diciembre de su segundo single, single navideño llamado: ‘I’ve Met Jesus’, del cual también se roda un videoclip, el single incluiría el tema ‘Cupboard Love’, una versión en directo de ‘I’ve met Jesus’ y en iTunes podías conseguir otro tema exclusivo, llamado ‘Automatic’. Y finalmente se anuncia que su disco debut se lanzará en febrero del 2009.

El álbum, apodado como ‘Red Light Fever’ que en su versión en vinilo aparece en color rojo, incluye 10 temas. Todos excepto uno, ya tocados en directo. Se hechan en falta en el disco, las caras B de ‘Ive Met Jesus’ la canción ‘Heroes’ o ‘Do It In The Dark’. A su vez, a finales de febrero se edita el tercer single de la banda, llamado: ‘Cocktails’ con otro tema como cara B, inédito. El llamado: ‘All I Gotta Do’

P.D.: Despues de mucho tiempo sin actualizar el blog hoy he tenido algo de tiempo y subo el disco de este buen grupo de Glam, cuando pueda resubire los discos de Sangre Azul que se han borrado de los servidores y empezare el ripeo y la creación de una iso del DVD del disco “Destino” de Kannon.

NEW YORK (AP) — Adam Lambert’s racy American Music Awards performance cost him a gig on “Good Morning America,” but he will perform live instead on ABC’s morning rivals at CBS.

Lambert was to sing Wednesday on “GMA,” but the network said Tuesday it was canceling the openly gay singer because “we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning.”

While singing his new song, “For Your Entertainment,” at the awards program on Sunday, Lambert kissed a male keyboardist, fondled a dancer and had another dancer briefly stuff his face in Lambert’s crotch. The performance prompted many complaints to ABC, and the network cut out the brief oral sex simulation for its West Coast broadcasts.

“Obviously, I respect their decision — they gotta do what they gotta do,” Lambert said Tuesday in an interview with Ryan Seacrest. “It’s too bad — I think there were a lot of fans who were excited to come see me.

“They probably had a lot of pressure coming at them from certain people who weren’t happy about it,” he said.

ABC News’ top management made the decision to cancel Lambert, spokeswoman Cathie Levine said. She said there was no pressure from the parent Walt Disney Co.

While women have often crossed the threshold regarding sexually provocative appearances on television — think Madonna kissing Britney Spears — Lambert’s performance was perhaps the first time it has been done by an openly gay man. The singer said before Sunday’s show that he was hoping to accomplish just that.

“There are a lot of double standards as far as that goes,” Lambert said backstage, a few days before the awards show. “We’ve seen female pop and rock performers do that for the last 10 years. They’ve been very provocative, owning their power and sexuality. You just don’t see men doing it very often. And I’m hoping to break down that double standard with this number.”

Said Alicia Keys when asked about Lambert’s performance, “I don’t know. You make different choices as a performer. It’s all about opinion. It’s all about what works for the performer.”

ABC said it felt burned because Lambert went further on the air with sexuality than he did in rehearsals — including the kiss. But the man putting his face to Lambert’s crotch was included in a rehearsal, according to an Associated Press reporter who attended the rehearsal. It was that sort of unpredictability that bothered ABC, particularly on a morning show with many young viewers watching.

Shortly after ABC’s cancellation, CBS quickly announced Tuesday that Lambert would appear on “The Early Show” Wednesday morning both to perform and discuss the reaction to Sunday’s appearance. Lambert is also appearing on David Letterman’s “Late Show” Wednesday, which was scheduled weeks ago.

The morning news ratings leader, NBC’s “Today” show, did not consider Lambert because it already has a Bon Jovi concert scheduled for Wednesday, said its executive producer, Jim Bell.

The “Good Morning America” Web site was flooded with comments from viewers about the Lambert cancellation. Some applauded ABC for taking a stand against vulgarity, while others suggested the network was being homophobic.

The glam rocker finished second on “American Idol” this spring. His performances on the reality singing contest were not as provocative, but he was among the show’s most colorful competitors with a voice compared to Queen’s Freddie Mercury. After the competition, he came out publicly as gay.

“For Your Entertainment” is the first single from Lambert’s new album, which went on sale Monday.

The “Good Morning America” cancellation was first reported on TVNewser and Hollywood Life Web sites.

I’m no expert at Sorority Life but I REALLY try!

So, I hear a lot of questions about how to get brownie points.

Let’s get to it then.

1. You could buy them.

I admit, I have done this. It was a short lived thrill. But let’s face it, we have better things to spend our hard earned money on!

2. You could Level up as fast as possible

This is a good way, especially since most are leveling up fairly quickly anyway. The only problem is leveling up takes longer and longer to accomplish as you become higher levels. So pay attention to what you are spending your points on if this is your sole method.

3. Socialize your Way to Brownie point heaven

This is just like the leveling up, they become harder and harder to obtain. The basis is, you pay attention to the ‘Expertise’ level you are at on each event. Certain events give you brownie points as you level up.

4. Complete offers and trails on the House Mom tab

Joy. All I need is more junk mail, right? Personally, the only one I did was the Netflix one. I am a fan of netflix so making a new account and getting a ton of brownie points was win-win, and I didn’t have to pay anything. I did the yahoopersonals one too, but canceled as soon as my points cleared.

Pay VERY strict attention to the fine print and cancellation procedures for these offers. They tend to get tricky and sticky.

The only thing I can recommend is to spend your time and your money wisely. If I had to choose between the featured item for Glam and playing the Homecoming gala 8 times…I’ma choose Homecoming Gala. Sure, one of those items might be a Prius, but last time I got 5 Jets…pretty good deal, eh?

Hello, all. Here’s the November 2009 Mix. This one’s a pretty schizophrenic mix, mostly due to all the free time that I’ve had to investigate new music recently (actually, old music that’s new to me). It’s starts off with the first track, “Military Madness”, Graham Nash’s first solo album. Thanks to my friend Kyle for talking me into giving that record a real listen. I’m generally allergic to anything slightly David Crosby-related, and, admittedly, rather prone to jumping to conclusions.

There’s some new discoveries on here that are really revelatory. Well, they are to me, at least. Hank Ballard’s “Sexy Ways” is a racy and fun doo-wop number that most people of my generation aren’t likely to recognize. Apparently, James Brown was a Ballard devotee, and credited him with many of the idiosyncratic vocal traits that Brown later made his name on. LaVern Baker and Johnny Ace are also new treats of pre-60’s soulful R&B for me. Ace having one of the more tragic, and interesting backstories in rock n’ roll. Really, Google it!

The Jawbox, Home, and Eric’s Trip tracks are old favorites of mine from my exclusively indie-rawk highschool years. Additionally, about once every year I go through a mini-John Cale phase, and “I Keep a Close Watch” is a powerful enough ballad to get you hooked as well. I’ve been arguing for a while that his post-Velvets records are far and away superior to Lou Reed’s output. Any opinions on that? I love to hear any comments, compliments, or even negative muckraking. Again, thanks for reading and listening. Enjoy! (Download Slow, Slow Music’s November 2009 Mix.)

On this day in 1975, David Bowie performed the now classic song “Fame” on the Cher Show.

“Fame” came about through Bowie’s friendship with John Lennon was inspired by Lennon’s complaints about the celebrity life.  Bowie even gave Lennon a writing credit, acknowledging that the seed of the song came from Lennon’s chants of the word “Fame” over guitar bit that Bowie guitarist Carlos Alomar was riffing on.

Here’s a video of a some dude giving us a fantasy performance of Bowie and Lennon.  Not a cover; more of a lip-sync.

“Fame” was included on the Young Americans album and was released as the second single from that album.  It quickly shot to number one on the U.S. charts and has been covered many times.

’80s glam pop superstars, Duran Duran

Funk metal band, Infectious Grooves (a side project of Suicidal Tendencies’ Mike Muir and Metallica’s Robert Trujillo.)  [Hi, Eric :>]

’90s industrial band, God Lives Underwater (from the “15 Minutes” soundtrack)

Motley Crue’s (please forgive those darn missing umlats) Tommy Lee

Finally,  uber-has-been Vanilla Ice sampled it for his Mindblowing album.  (Yeah, I know.  It’s not a cover.  But still, could you ignore the Ice Man?!)

And none of them have the same cool detachment of the original.

I’ve seen some critics call L.A. Guns a combination of Guns N’ Roses and Poison. That’s a pretty good description of them, though I think there’s a dash of Motley Crue as well. The Guns have always seemed to straddle the line between the seedy, sleazy life that GNR wrote about and the sex & party world of glam metal poster boys Poison. It makes for some good rock ‘n’ roll and L.A. Guns have never fully gotten the respect, success and credit that they should have despite having two platinum albums in their catalog (this one and Cocked & Loaded)… They should’ve sold more!

Anyway, this a really good debut. Phil Lewis rocks, guitars are great (Tracii also does not get the respect he should), there’s plenty of sleaze and fun for everyone! But the band has a softer side — there’s “Cry No More”, a pretty instrumental, to break up the album and it leads into the ballad “One Way Ticket”.

“Sex Action” was a small hit for the band, but I tend to think that’s an overrated song. It’s a good song, but I’ve often seen it mentioned as a LAG fave but I think there’s plenty of other songs here that overshadow it. “One More Reason” is my favorite from the disc. Cocked & Loaded is regarded as the quintessential L.A. Guns release. That album is a bit more catchy and melodic, but this one is heavier. I like them both equally.

Original LAG drummer Nicky “Beat” Alexander played on the album, but it was Steve Riley (coming over from W.A.S.P.) who got the album credit and his face in the band photo as he joined the band just before the album was released. Most of these songs were written with L.A. Guns’ previous singer Paul Black. Maybe that’s why Phil was able to get “Hollywood Tease” (from his previous band Girl) on the album?

Picked this up online for about $6. Definitely worth the cash. The cover is really cool too — you’ve got guns, a skull and a Hollywood night in the background. The art was done by Tyler. I wonder if he’s ever done anything else in the hair metal arena?

Highlights: “No Mercy”, “Sex Action”, “One More Reason”, “Electric Gypsy”, “One Way Ticket”, “Shoot For Thrills”

Here’s a strange album for ya! Endeverafter are a fairly recent band that seems be torn as to what kind of rock that they want to play. Are they the next Fall Out Boy? Do they want to be the next generation of pop metal? Or would they rather play nu-metal or NWOBHM or post-grunge? Well, they aren’t sure yet and neither am I because this album waffles more than John Kerry, but I’ll get back to you as soon as they decide!

Don’t let the band’s looks and touring credentials fool you either — sure, they have opened for KISS, Poison and Cinderella but I have no idea what songs they would have played to win over those types of crowds when sound their sound has much more in common with Fall Out Boy than the previously mentioned bands. In addition to that, they’ve performed on ’80s rock packages like Motley Cruise and ShipRocked which makes their primary choice of music even more puzzling.

FOB is one of the worst bands to come out in the past decade. I have heard a lot of their stuff and it’s terrible and they’ve spawned countless (and equally terrible) copycat bands. The songs here with the FOB are just as bad as the real thing. Now, they did try to spice things up a bit. It’s not all alt rock/pop. A handful of songs break out of alt. rock/pop mode and get a bit heavy or at least bit more spirited than the majority of the album.

There is potential here. The band is totally Michael Grant’s show. He wrote all of the music and lyrics. He sounds way too much like Patrick Stump, but I hear bits of good hair metal (and good metal in general) within some of these songs. He just needs to decide what kind of band Endeverafter is. It’s too bad American Hi-Fi’s Stacy Jones, as producer, couldn’t straighten these young chaps out and tell them to pick a sub-genre and stick with it.

I totally took a chance on this band. Classic Rock magazine was hyping them up as the second coming of Poison and Motley Crue and that’s just not the case at all. Hm… Do you think it has anything to do with the band’s UK label being the Classic Rock-owned Powerage Records? Shame on you, CR!

Luckily, the album can be found fairly cheap so it wasn’t a huge loss. I would be interested in new music from this band, but I’d have to hear some samples first before buying.

Highlights: “I Wanna Be Your Man”, “Baby Baby Baby”, “Poison”, “From the Ashes of Sin”
