Red Carpet: AMAs 2013

So last night was the 2013 American Music awards.

Below are my pick of Loves and Hates from the Red Carpet.

Two Beliebers go HAM on each other (as told by two old men)

Saw this floating around the Interweb and it had me cracking up.

Two Beliebers went on a comment war on the One Direction What Makes You Beautiful video on Youtube. So Dead Parrot went and made a reconstruction and the following is the masterpiece that came alive.



I'm so glad when I was going through the ages of 9-16 that YouTube didn't exist or this may have been me!

Pharrell 24 Hours of Happy

Pharrell has debuted the world's first ever 24 hour music video.

The interactive piece is for the song 'Happy' which featured on the Despicable Me 2 Soundtrack.

The video which was shot in real time, features a lot of random people dancing and includes cameos from Steve Carell, Magic Johnson and Jimmy Kimmel.



If you want to watch the full 24 hours, you can find it here at 24hoursofhappy.com.

This song will definitely stick with you all day. I lasted 20 minutes first time around, how long can you last?

The WTF Song (EXPLICIT)

I know I'm late to the party but I've just found this on YouTube and I had to share it!



I have now had this on loop for at least 40 minutes!!

I want this to be my ringtone!

Disney's "The Story Of Menstruation"

Yes you heard correctly, in the archives of Disney sits a short film from 1946 about periods. The 10 minute animated film was shown at the time in health classes across America to discuss and dispel myths about menstruation.

Check it below.



Though very dated with lines such as "It's smart to keep looking smart" and "always keep a fine outward appearance";  I actually found it to be quite informative.

 I really want to see a copy of the booklet Very Personally Yours that accompanied it now.

New Video: Lily Allen - Hard Out Here

ICYMI Lily Allen's back!!!! Yay!! *Runs off to scream silently*

I'm so happy she's come out of retirement. When she said she was quitting music, I was devastated; but a part of me always hoped that she would come back and now she is.

Check out Lily at her best below.


Lmao at the Twerking Manager.

Xmas Barbie

Stephen Jones (the millner-that's a hatmaker for those that didn't know) has teamed up with Barbie to create five new Christmas looks.

From left to right: Happy Holly Barbie, Toffee Ice Barbie, Snow Globe Barbie, Santa Baby Barbie and Christmas Tree Barbie.

Each Barbie is priced at £250, and will be available in the Barbie Department in the Selfridges Toy Shop (London) from the 15th November.

The little girl in me is screaming with festive glee; now to find £1250.

New Video: Drake - Worst Behaviour

Yat we got some visuals for Worst Behaviour; that is my jaaaaaam!



Aww his Dad's in it too, that's so cute!

John Lewis Christmas Advert 2013

It's that time of the year again, it's the highly anticipated John Lewis Christmas advert.

Introducing The Bear & The Hare.

I love the whole story of a bahumbug Bear, who doesn't seem to enjoy the festive season, finally gets to experience the joy of Christmas and a Hare who wants so badly to share the Christmas spirit with their friend.

And Lily Allen's cover of Keane's Somewhere Only We Know is just so beautiful (I do love Lily Allen's voice I'm glad she's out or retirement).

The whole advert is so warm and cosy and definitely reminiscent of the infamous Watership Down. It's definitely a winner.

Bruno Mars feat. R. Kelly & Pharrell - Gorilla G-Mix

Yes you did hear right, Mr Bruno Mars aka Mr Sexiness personified, yes back off ladies I said it and like my girls Brandy and Monica say, the Boy is mine so back off; has teamed up with Mr Remix himself R Kelly and Pharrell to give us Gorilla the G-Mix.



*falls to the floor due to awesomeness of the song and yes I did say awesomeness*

Oh my gosh, my beau ting has done did it again, this is song will now on repeatage all night.

It's everything and a bag of chips, with added ketchup, mayo and chilli sauce (possibly some burger sauce if I'm in the mood for it), and the addition of Kelly's verse just gives Gorilla more fire, I loves it.

I've got my fingers crossed really tightly that a video will appear, I know the original has one and you all know how crazy I went for that, but a video for this would be so much more, just so much more. So I will squeeze those fingers and wish upon a star until something surfaces.

Oh Peter you do treat me so.

The Sims do Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball

Check out this Sims 3 version of Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball created by TypesOfFriends.


I've always had so much respect for Machimima creators, they're just so talented.

This must have taken so long to create and the accuracy is just so amazing.

Anti-Rape wear

Yes you heard right, I kid you not this is a real thing.

I saw it on Cosmo and just had to share it with you guys.



I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand it's a preventative measure, sort of like a rape alarm or whistle; trying to fight against the chance of rape. But then on the other hand it's kind of giving leverage to the whole argument that it's a woman's fault that she got raped because of what she wore. That maybe if she had had a pair of these anti-rape knickers she might not have gotten raped. And who's to say that out of frustration the attacker wouldn't go one step as to actually 'kill' the wearer?

I feel like this is the kind of thing that brings unnecessary fear to  people, kind of scaremongering in a way.

And who the hell would wear it? It just seems so complicated and even the whole combination thing is confusing. I mean what if your bursting to go to the toilet and forget the combo; you're pissed cos those things aint ever coming off. It says so itself, there aint no way to cut them off. So your stuck!

I dunno I'm on the fence with this one, what do you think?

Britney Spears - Perfume

Perfume, the second song off Miss Spears' Britney Jean has hit the airwaves.

Listen below.

David Attenborough X Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke VMAs

I   think this narration best explains what happened in 'that' performance at the VMAs this year.

Essie Winter 2013

Check out Essie's Winter 2013 collection.

Introducing Toggle to The Top, Shearling Darling, Warm and Toasty Turtleneck, Sable Collar, Parka Perfect and Mind Your Mittens.

Toggle to The Top,  is a garnet red with a sparkly finish.

Shearling Darling, is a deep mahogany red.

Warm and Toasty Turtleneck, is wysteria pink.

Sable Collar, is a rich cocoa plum.

Parka Perfect, is a light alphine blue.

Mind Your Mittens, is a dark teal.

As a big fan of darker shades once the weather turns bleaker, I'm definitely swaying more to Shearling Darling, Sable Collar and Mind Your Mittens. But I do love Toggle to The Top, it's very festive and would be an amazing shade for the holiday season.

The collection is available now in the US and will be hitting Boots in early Jan 2014.

The Body Shop 24 Days of Joy Advent Calendar

Yes I am here with another Beauty Advent calendar.

Introducing The Body Shop 24 Days of Joy Advent Calendar.

As you know I am not a SPOILER so I will not divulge what is inside it, unlike others I do like surprises. If you want to know you're just gonna have to buy it for yourself (or peep some Beauty Blogs)

The calendar will be available from The Body Shop from the 6th November and will be priced at £55.

I'm like with so many options to choose from, the statistics are in my favour. At least one of these babies needs to be in my hands December 1st.

All of a sudden I have a hankering for some gingerbread!
