Vogue Italia Launches Vogue Curvy And Vogue Black

Yes you heard, Vogue Italia has launched Vogue Curvy and Vogue Black. It seems that the fashion industry is starting to move forward.

Vogue Curvy, is dedicated to woman of a more fuller figure and Vogue Black to black women.

Though, we must praise Vogue for acknowledging black and curvy women; we must also ponder why they have to be seen separate from the norms of fashion industry.

In Sims News

I haven't done a post about The Sims in a long long time...
Apparently rumours are in the air about a new expansion pack either titled 'Hobbies and Professions' or 'Ambitions'. Which I guess focuses on Sims jobs and their hobbies, a upgrade of Sims 2 Freetime and supposedly all the rabbit-holes within the game will become open... which I believe to be a whole lot of B S, but hey come June 4th 2010 we shall see.

I really hope that this is not true cos I really want the next expansion pack to involve weather.

New Video Alert: Kanye West Coldest Winter


Personally I believe that this is one of the best tracks off 808s and Heartbreaks, so I'm very happy to see some visuals. I think the video is very deep, it's very Gothic; sorta 'Lord of The Rings Middle Earth stylish'.
I like that Kanye is not afraid to experiment with different concepts for his videos.

Grade: C

Cheryl And Ashley Enter Splitville

It's official Cheryl and Ashley Cole are separating!
A spokesperson for the soon to be ex-Mrs. Cole said:
"Cheryl Cole is separating from her husband Ashley Cole. Cheryl asks the media to respect her privacy during this difficult time. We have no further comment to make"
I say *exhaling*... finally! It's been a long time coming. Kudos for her sticking by him the first time; but c'mon Ashley  did you really think she would forgive you again?

I guess there won't be a 'Fight For This Love: Part 2'

Celeb Get-Up N' Go

I am loving this Rihanna ensemble.
The white shoes really complement the sharpness of this hot pink dress and I'm really loving the ruffles on the shoulders.

Lil Gold-diggers


Uh-Uh what is the world coming to when your teaching your child that money is better than friendship!
The way that these lil girls were choosing a business man over a a fast food worker is real scary. "Cos he's rich"... that aint the type of message we should be pumping into children's minds. What ever happened to personality???

Happy Pancake Day!!!

Yay!!! Happy Pancake Day!!! Let the Pancake party commence!!!
Me and my mates have this lil tradition where we make a huge batch of pancakes and just go crazy, but unfortunately due to certain circumstances we won't be able to do it this year *wiping a tear*.

So what is the true meaning of pancake day. Because it sure isn't just about gorging ourselves on them.

Pancake Day falls on Shrove Tuesday, this is the day that precedes Ash Wednesday; the first day of Lent (the Christian season of prayer and fasting). On this day before Lent people make pancakes which many consider to be the 'last feast'. Pancakes include the ingredients: Sugar, Fat and Eggs. These food types are traditionally 'restricted' during the period of Lent.

I always get upset cos Pancake day always falls on days surrounding my birthday, but never on the actual day. So I did my internet thing and I found out that in the years 2042 and 2048 Pancake day will fall on my birthday!!! Yay!!! Celebrate good times c'mon!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Happy Valentines Day to you all xxx
I'm not really one for all that lovey-dovey bull moloney; but as it is the official day of love... just wanted to say 'I Love You' to all my valued followers...there I did it...now back to business.

So what is this Valentine's Day???

Saint Valentine's Day is named after the martyred Christian saint 'Valentine' and was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496. It was first acknowledged as a romantic holiday in the High Middle Ages in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer; where 'courtly love' was in its peak. So to all you Valentine's Day haters (me included) it is not a hallmark created holiday!!! Valentine's Day is a long-time traditionally celebrated day of love.

We need to get past the chocolate, cards and gifts and see it as a day where love is openly celebrated. So if you are one of those people that think of it only as a day filled with chocolates, cards and gifts; then my answer is... don't buy them. Instead use the day to spend time with your loved ones and tell them that you love them. Simplessss!!!

New Video: Rihanna's Rude Boy

The video was directed by Melina Matsoukas who directed Rihanna's 'Hard' video. Rihanna described the video as "completely different from any other video I’ve shot before. A lot of my videos are really dark and edgy and tough. 'Rude Boy' is more playing along the lines from my roots."


Toy Story 3: New Trailer

I am actually really excited to see this movie. This is one movie I must see in 2010. As a child that grew up with Toy Story I am glad to welcome it back.

TOY STORY 3 Trailer #2


OMG I can't believe that Andy has grown up!! I am loving the fact that the story has aged as well and it isn't just a movie that picks up where it left off. The fact that Andy is off to college now and the toys are off on a new adventure makes me even more excited for its return.

The graphics look amazing; the way that animation has developed over the years never ceases to amaze me.

Fav bits so far:
When the toys scream 'New Toys....Yay!!!'
The dinosaur tryna hide her business on the computer
Camp Ken
The take my breath away scene between Barbie and Ken had me cracking up!
The bit on the phone 'You and your friends aint ever getting outta here' Lol bare sinister
Roll on June 18th

R.I.P Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen, famous British designer dies aged 40.McQueen was found dead at his London home and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. A statement released by his office on 11 February 2010 - referring to the designer by his given first name, Lee - read: "On behalf of Lee McQueen's family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand, has been found dead at his home." McQueen's death came days before London Fashion Week, although McQueen was not scheduled to show in the British capital.

"I get my ideas out of my dreams… if you're lucky enough to use something you see in a dream, it is purely original. It's not in the world -- it's in your head. I think that is amazing."
- Alexander McQueen

















Wolfman Screening


So me and a bunch of mates got 'free' tickets to watch 'Wolfman' 1 day before it's UK release date. Which was a bit freaky cos it was only 3 days previous were we were talking about how we really wanted to see it. So when I got the email we jumped at the chance.

As I am typing this Wolfman has officially been released so I'm sure many of you have had the opportunity to watch it.

To cut a long story short, I wasn't really that impressed. Don't get me wrong there was an alright storyline. But the wolf itself was quite pitiful, I really expected so much more from it.

Really disappointed.

Apologies

Sorry all for the lack of posts, as you should know I'm hitting the big '2...2' so I've been busy planning for that.... But yarrh posting will continue as normal from now on!!!

Peter Andre Breaks Down On Sky Interview

I know your probably getting tired of my posts about Peter; hopefully this is the last one of the day:

The questions she asked were deep cos we all know how much this man loves his kids. She went too far!! We all know that Peter is a publicity whore, but asking him deep questions whether he thinks Alex is gonna adopt his kids was on another level all together...

Jersey Shore Comes To The Shores Of The UK!!!

Yay!!! It has been confirmed by MTV UK that Jersey Shore will in-fact be coming to the UK. The confirmed air-date is March 21st. I for a fact cannot wait to see what the Snookie hype is all about. Who else is excited?? Roll on March 21st!!!

LMAO!!!!

Who else out there has seen the cheese corn that is Peter Andre's advert for his new album 'Unconditional Love Songs' ???

Aha! Aha! OMG! This is too much! That hand gesture he makes gets me every time I see it lol! Oh and don't get me started when he does that fist bump with the wall. This ad is too much for me!!!!

Shake Weight: The New Arm Toning Solution?

Who out there has heard of the 'Shake Weight'. The first time I heard of it was when I was watching an episode of Russell Howard's Good News and I found it hilarious. But the other day when I was doing me grocery shopping, I actually saw it in the flesh. Apparently it's supposed to shape and tone your arms, shoulder and chest in just 6 minutes a day. Okay, I dunno if I believe this one (but why is there a part of me that wants it lol), there are so many machines out there that tell us that they work wonders; we run to the shops and buy them and then 6 months later they're collecting dust (i.e. my wii fit). I guess seeing is believing. If I was you I'd give it a few months and check out some reviews before I went out and bought it.

New Video Alert: Cheryl Cole- Parachute


Cheryl Cole - Parachute from tellymix on Vimeo.

Ummm...words come to me... words come to me. Okay got one...'BORIIIIIIING'; both song and video are completely lack lustre. The repetitive drawling of 'Parachute... Parachute' almost had me pulling out my hair. How is it that this chick has a new song out every minute. It's like every time I turn around and then turn back she's got a new song out (Peter Andre take note). Seriously Cheryl what are you doing to be so successful, cos I need some of that success thrown this way lol.
