Vasuxhall Fashion Scout: FAD 2011

Last Tuesday, i volunteered to help out with FAD and their Gradute Fashion Show at Vauxhall Fashion Scout during London Fashion Week.

It was held at the Freemasons Building in Covent Garden, a beautiful building.

The video above is show and some of the pieces are AMAZING. in particular the first menswear pieces with the landscape prints and the second one also, really liked the texture on the grey cardigan and on the brown hood,

Lady Gaga Born This Way Premier.

UMMMM....... What to say? 

i loved the song, and video is just WOW.
Visually its amazing and the styling is to die for! did kind remind me of the Alien Quadrilogy with Sigourney Weaver. But Hey! 

Many people have said that they dont really like the song, but i beg to differ. I think most of all, its the message in the song that is the most important thing here and not necessarily the song as a whole.

The birth part is really intense to actually watch but she looks amazing her body is amazing as well. 

Her tattoo make up on her face and her hair looks HOT! 

Check it out.

Black Friday: Lil Kim

Riiggghht, where do i being, there is so much talk about this, im annoyed i think is the emotion to sum it up.


ill start with the cover,
This is what it looks like:

 

Hmmm... first impressions i like yeah its cool i like; but then u look closely at what the actual image is.

Lil Kim doing a kill bill flex with he samurai sword with blooood EVERYWHERE and in the background is 'nicki minaj' in her Pink Friday costume with no head aaaannndddd in the foreground half her pink wig.

SO.. i get the whole reason why its nicki minaj and black friday rah rah BUT i hate the fact how this mixtape is centered around nicki minaj herself. i mean i havent heard the entire mixtape yet but from the 2 tracks i have heard (Black Friday and Pissin' on em) its just one full blow at Nicki Minaj WHICH lets not get this twisted i understand and back Kim on 100%.

Now what annoys me is what some people are saying, even tho i shouldnt care but its just annoying coz they are stupid.

i just read this from an article

'Nicki Minaj is more popular than Lil' Kim. For example, Kim has a little over 139,000 followers on Twitter. Minaj has over 2 million....'

i felt i was talking to someone stupid, SO WHAT if Minaj has more followers. Followers means SHIT! 

it carries on

"...And if Kim wants to prove she's still the Queen, a b-level album cover for "Black Friday" doesn't cut it. "Pink Friday" has a more professional look....'

Yeah i kinda agree to a level but Queen B is ALWAYS Queen B. Just like Madonna will always be Queen of Pop (tho some may argue). Another thing, THIS IS A MIXTAPE not a commercial chart topping album.

it carries on

'...Nor does selling the album with a PayPal link, rather than on iTunes, prove that you've got game.'

Selling is selling at the end of the day, if Lil Kim sells she sells. Dont matter if its iTunes or on the fucking streets ITS SELLING and ITS A MOTHERFUKING MIXTAPE.

SO anyway... i admit after being a Minaj Bitch at first, i am now a fully pledge Kim Fan. but i do like Minaj.

On the Good Side.. I bought Lil Kim's Mixtape and im hoping im within the first 100,000 to buy it because if it is THE BITCH WOULD HAVE SIGNED IT WOOOOOOOOOOOO :)

im also excited to hear the rest of the mixtape. i am truly praying and hoping the whole thing wont be a diss to Minaj.

Please Kim dont .
