2AM and im Going Oriental

Just found this shoot from Korean Vogue i think, its from around January and features an South Korean boy band called 2am, i swear i go through phases where i love Asian boys, my last one was when i was introduced to the world of Taeyang. I think I'm infatuated all over again plus the clothes are crazy!

MADNESS

Wow, i kinda lost the love for Chris Brown, not because of anything to do with the Rihanna shit but i just believe that his music genuinely lost its touch a long time ago, then he came with a couple GOOD songs (Crawl & G Shit ft Tyga) and then i kinda forgot about him again. Now after watching this Ive just realized why i loved him in the first place, he is an AMAZING performer. The dancing was incredible, faultless in fact and well ...never mind the singing/crying combo, these times i could have cried with him as i felt the emotion he put into this just watching.

Now for some reason the video is shit quality (i watched it somewhere else) and it may stop working soon as BET keep on taking the video's due to some copyright baloney yet they don't even have it on their website! Black people for you!!



Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

WOW

This is why I love lookbook!
She goes by the name of Kate Pe and shes Polish, (if only all polish immigrants down here looked like this). Tell me everything about this girl isn't on point? Oh yeah i think shes rocked th
e best shaved hair I've seen in a long time!
Here are two of my favourite looks, BTW I neeeeeed those grey hareems.




Arlenis Sosa is gracing the cover of Trace magazine for an editon called black girls rule. Kinda crazy i know, as the majority of young black models these days minus Chanel Iman, Jordan Dunn, Alek Wek, Sessilee Lopez and a few more get little media/runway coverage, and its a shame, because no offence, but somethimes i get tired of seeing these pale white girls with razor sharp blades looking like they're gonna turn my ass into pork chops any minute now.
Also look out for Lyndsey scott, she did the topshop S/S 010 shoot and im sure shes been around for a minute, but shes really starting to blow up now.


I AM PISSED! let me just tell you this from now, because without a doubt easily one of the worlds greatest ever designers has gone. I am furious, nobody understand, McQueen wasn't just a designer he was a genius. The science behind the graphic prints and also the way in which he encorporated history into modern day contemporary designs. WOW.
The 16 piece collection was only ever 80percent finished, and my
-oh-my if you ask me, incomplete or not they already outshone most designers 50 piece finished collections and thats saying alot.
Alexander McQueen really was something magical and for that, in terms of the industry, McQueen is my idol.





RIP Alexander McQueen.

Today BBC debuted their Season 11 lookbook and If only i was a boy, id be hustling, shotting, eating, or whatever they call it these days to purchase the whole collection.
Compared to previous collections, this one definitely comes across as more mature/structured.
Everythings beautiful, until you spot Pharell's beard, thank fuck it has now gone ahahahaha.
The new ice cream collections being released this week aswell, i can't wait! bit sad really, as i cant afford any of this ahhh, one day though. one day.

L.O.V.E

Ok, so i didn't have a blog when i first spotted (and fell in love with) these but now i do and i cant express to you how much i LOVE and i mean, would sell my nan and the whole of my have-nothing-on-these wardrobe collection for a pair of these. it was LOVE at first sight, like words can't express. So yeah, i was scrolling through one of my old vogue's, the February 2010 issue and yeah, well... ill let the shoes do the talking.
On my LIFE, i would give an arm, leg, tit, nan, hair and every dam
n garment in my wardrobe for these.



My alltime favourite ever collection from a designer is from Versace 1992, if you've ever seen the collection then you'll see that the new Versace 2010 spring collection is almost just a revamp and a modern update on the prints and elements, so there's no suprise im head over heels. Im so flabbergasted i can't even talk about them, i just wanna dribble on my laptop.
These things right here have got me telling myself to go find some rich old bachelor who coincidentally suffers from angina.
Heres two pics i found of pieces from 1992.
