Yo Geeza's,
its been a little while so i thought i would get a quick one up why waiting for friends to arrive for some drinkies ...... so when you read this friends, come earlier next time!!!
So this week Lady Gaga released the video to her track Telephone Ft Beyonce! But this aint no ordinary music video, it could possibly be described as a very short film, kinda like when you read short stories ...... pointless, but fun. This video is pure genius, i love it! I know it was going to be good from the start when one of the prison guards (who have their bra's out for some reason) strip the Gaga down and reveal she doesn't have a penis! What a line to open with!
I love the way this video takes HUGE influence from the films Kill BIll, even featuring the actual Pussy Wagon! :) The style of dialogue, and using names such as 'Hunny B' is exactly like Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece! As well as using scenes like the american diner. The good thing about this video is that it does tell a story, all be it a very odd one, and nicely leads on from her 'paparazzi' video, as well suggesting their will be a follow on video from the 'to be continued' at the end.
The dancing in this video is also pretty wicked! The section near the start of the video when Gaga and some backing dancers dance down the corridor of the prison is pretty wicked, especially as they are all practically wearing nothing! It's not like lady Gaga to be revealing! The style of dancing here is one that isn't typical to her dance videos, and i think it shows she has great talent not just for singing, as well as the end dance sequence at the end with Beyonce in the American diner.
I guess i should comment on the outfits used as this is supposed to be a blog loosely based on fashion and the industry, and i guess it is kind of unusual i haven't blogged on the artist yet as she is so forward in her dress. My favourite costume on the whole video is the one where she goes to the yard of the prison with chains wrapped around her and those cigarette glasses! To me this looks really cool, but obviously not marketable! Lady Gaga has those signature looks that no one could pull off bar her, which is kind of why Beyonce sticks out like a sore thumb! Nevertheless she still looks soooooo HOT! But i do have to say before i finish is that i absolutely hate the scenes where she is dancing in front of the pussy wagon in that horrible leopard print catsuit that goes over her head and incorporates a drivers hat!
All in all this video is awesome! I can't wait for her next one .... nor anyone else's that may wanna have a bash at a longer piece!

Is it Fashionable to smile?? :/
The other day i was travelling home from work, and of course living in london this almost always involves taking the tube. It wasn't until this time that i realised how miserable everyone looks, and the same can be said for me. Travelling home late after work, on your own, knowing you have to cook tea and finish your uni work when you get back, why should i smile?
Normally on the tube 50-60% of people have headphones in, and those who don't are normally reading, and the few that are left are sleeping. So ok Sleeping excused, why can't we smile will reading? or more importantly why can't we smile when listening to our music? Surely music is supposed to bring happiness and joy to those who are listening, as long as you aren't listening to someone depressing. As everyone know it takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown, so again why shouldn't we! All it takes is one person, one person to smile, and like a yawn, smiles can be contagious. You could be the one to start that. :)
There could be a number of reasons why people choose not to smile, at home everyone is normally smiling, well sort of. Moving to London all you see is rushing people, with headphones in and blank expression. But before you know it you become one of them, you are sucked into that way of life without even wanting to be. No matter how early you leave for work or uni etc etc you still end up rushing, climbing the escalator instead of standing on the shitting right hand side! What ever happened to walking i don't know! London people i think are just lazy, well a hefty percentage of them. That is evident in the bus i have to catch that feels the need to stop every 100 metres!! If people just slowed down, and smiled every now and then would london be a better place to live? Who knows, but you still have to love our beautiful city with or without smiling faces, because this is all made up when you see your friends faces! At least someone is happy to see you!
Maybe the models of the catwalk could try a smile every now and then, are real people that expressionless? saying that are real people that tall and thin, i guess not.
Smiling should be fashionable!

And the Oscar goes to ......
Who gives a shit, lets just check out what the A - listers are wearing!
Ok so i need to start by saying for those who have read the previous blog on VB i apologise for getting it wrong! She had lied to me, or rather changed her mind im sure, and she didn't go for the gown that i claimed, but rather a different one of her creations.
She went for a floor length champagne A- symmetric gown, cinched in at the waist! It is one of the strengths of her collection but didn't really carry the wow factor you would expect from someone of her stature.
Carey Mulligan turned up in a very cute Prada dress. Being a petite lady i would of expected a short knee length number, but instead she opted for a longer dress, that was high at the front revealing some calf. I guess the Oscar springs longer length gowns to mind. The Black suited nicely to her skin tone, and her pixie haircut looked great with the larger earrings.
Another personal favourite of mine was Sandra Bullock, who also collected the award for best actress last night. She was in a stunning Marchesa Gown. It was a metallic, strapless, full length number with beautiful detailing on the Top. Accessorised with a small clutch and very simple bracelet she looks flawless.
Rather an Odd ball of a dress but one i find myself loving is offered up by Rachel McAdams. She was pictured wearing Elle Saab, with a weaved bodice and free flowing skirt, it looked truly elegant. The colour is so hard to describe its best you look, but the sheer unusualness draws me to it, it isn't your typical oscar dress.
As usual with the scars comes the worst dressed, a list no one wants to make it onto and for me their is two stand outs that i just hate......
The first being Maggie Gyllenhaal, i dunno what about it i hate, i just know i do. I guess the oriental style isn't really doing it for me, but im sure many of you will like it.
And finally i have my worst dress which comes from Zoe Saldana, i just hate it, looks like some weird purple truffle, with that disgusting colour blocking (that was on trend last year, not this) makes it look like a B&Q colour palette. If i am looking to decorate my bathroom lilac than i'll pull up this photo to hold against my wall. The only good thing about it is the embellishment detail at the top, but nevertheless it looks like she is wearing two dresses and the lilac one was just too short she had to stick something else on underneath! Despite it being Givenchy haute couture im just not warming to it.
As you can see jewellery was at the fore front of this years ceremony, but it was more about the understated fashion statement, about sheer elegance, and little flashing of the flesh!

VB A/W 10 ...... better late than never....
So today (sunday) The Sunday Times released 'The Big Fashion Issue' therefore i popped down to the local shops to purchase mine. (God do i feel like an old lady popping to the local shops, my only adventure out today, barr a run .... sort of). I opened it and got like 8 different magazines, all of which pointless and far to high brow for me to read, but the fashion insert was like a beautiful big issue with its matte paper and un-glossy finish. i flicked through, and still yet to read it but then i came across a Victoria Beckham dress. In the feature she deconstructs her favourite piece from the collection explaining the details, colour, fabric and how to wear it.
Now, as my flat mate has just highlighted i am biased as i am a huge fan of the Beckham brand, therefore i am gunna try to write this a professional way and with no slant to my borderline obsession, i also have read no reviews of her collection other than VB's few words i have read today. therefore everything i say is what i feel and not rubbish i have read and decided to regurgitate to you! I think im drawn to VB and her collections naturally because of the elegance of them, my favourite style of clothing is that of evening dresses and ball gowns. Something about the materials, embellishments, ability to drape the fabric and the pure effort and craftsmanship makes me favour these style of garments.
So anyway onto VB, i have just looked through the pictures courtesy of marie claire and do like the collection. OK, so it is an ex spice girl, and she is definitely finding it hard to make her name as a designer, but could this be the break through collections for her? Who knows, i guess we will have to wait and see how sales hold up. However, if being labelled a 'designer' is someone who creates innovative clothes, than i don't think Victoria Beckham can claim that name. But if a designer is someone who can create flawless, wearable, beautiful, inspiring and utterly elegant clothing than VB can without a doubt be called a designer. Her Fall ''10 collection is beautifully made, it shows fantastic lines and silhouettes, all create a sensationally feminine shapes. In her deconstruction of the above dress she says 'This Season, evening wear should skim the floor.' I couldn't agree more, the dress just skims her thighs and you can see the motion of the material from the still image. However this can't be said for all of her dresses as many are knee length.
Colour wise we see the very on trend nudes, as well as her usual black, and eye popping colours including lipstick red, midnight blue and even metallics. One of my favourite piece's is a full length nude dress. It deceivingly looks like a coat that has been drawn across the body with a simple waistband. This creates a stunning open split almost up the full length of the garment, rather seducing it leads the viewers eye to start at the bottom and slowly rise up. There are many pieces in the collection i like, some i love and some i just think 'oh no' but overall she has done a cracking job on it, and will definitely be making a return appearance for S/S 2011, and i for one am throughly looking forward to it.
Well after looking at this it has gone me in an oscars mood, and there is great hype about what will our favourite celebs be wearing on the red carpet! So you can read the next blog to find out, who knows maybe we will see a few VB pieces out there, with Victoria Beckham claiming she will wear the stunning floor length number at the top herself.

Bonjour lecteurs, un séjour à Paris
Again another hectic week, but i will become a more regular blogger soon!!!
This week one has been travelling across the Channel to Paris, just in time for PFW, despite not seeing anything of course, barr some very stunning luxury stores.
It was my first time to the city, and luckily had some friends who had been there several times before. We saw all the usual sights, eiffel tower, arc de triomphe, Notre Dame, place de la concorde, obelisque de luxor, basilique de Sacre Coeur and the Louvre. All accomplished with lots and lots of walking!!! God knows how many steps we took, but it was all worth it, seeing all the little cobbled side streets made it feel even more special. The Louvre is something i have always wanted to see, so on the first night we walked there. It was great seeing the building all light up, and the amazing series of glass pyramids placed within it! I was determined to find the rose line but had no success, i was assured it did exist though! perhaps next time i will find it! :) I didn't venture into the Louvre as i feel it is summing that needs more than a couple of hours to see, so it will be one of my first stops on my next visit. Eiffel tower was a little disappointing as magnificent a piece of architecture it is i just wasn't blown away like i felt i should of been.
The mini break was great, and this was largely due to the friends i was with! It was full of laughs, great debate, serious topics as well as just plain silly moments and stupid comments!! All we drank was coffee, wine and beer, had several lunches, nice dinners and a very french breakfast. Trips like this aren't worth going on unless you are with the right people, and now it feels odd to be sat at home with none of them around! I had a great time sharing a room with two of my best friends! Hilarious is the only word that can sum it up!
All in all the trip was worth it, despite the expense and now very low bank balance! and some thefts among my friends!! (stupid stealing parisians!) It has also confirmed my choice to start learning french! so bring on april, and another trip to france in the future!
Thank you to everyone who made it special!
