beyoncé in gareth pugh. who would have thought?

Beyonce in Gareth Pugh. Who would have thought? Beyonces performance at the EMA’s 2008 with “If I where a boy” was great, I got goose-skin and normally I’m not a Beyonce fan. Also her body looked damn hot in Gareth’s creation although I’m more a skinny bitch lover. Just her bling bling earrings weren’t adapted okay and this ‘strange-old-superhero-dragon-whatever-knight’ glove was too much. Anyway really untypical for her ‘cause she’s the classic Pop-Diva not the “avant-garde” woman. But everybody changes his/her look in the run of his/her life.
'Her fashion evolution could be credited to her nemesis Rihanna who’s always had a stylish edge over her rival. It could also be down to Etta James. Beyonce plays Etta in the new movie Cadillac and it appears the character left an impression on her. Is it all a little too late? Often criticized for being boring and ostentatious can Beyonce ever be a style icon in your eyes? Or will she forever be an over-styled pop diva?
More from Beyonce in Garteh’s creations… '

evergreen

I know this is a really famous video and I think you all know it. But I love it. Such a great evergreen.

The most gifts are wrapped. The rest of the day is a lazy day for me, so I’m wearing a cozy home outfit.

Jamie "Hotel" Hince might have become tabloid fodder thanks to his relationship with Kate Moss, but the third album by The Kills, his band with American vocalist Alison "VV" Mosshart, does relatively little to tidy itself up for mainstream consumption. Midnight Boom is a typically lean set of makeshift punk-blues characterised by Hince's raw, Nick Zinner-style guitar, and Alison's bad-attitude drawl: see the opening "U.R.A Fever", a beat-up call-and-response number reminiscent of Royal Trux than sees Hince and Mosshart swapping sour quips over loping bass and drum machine thud, while "Cheap and Cheerful" sees Mosshart declaring "I want you to be crazy/'Cos you're boring baby when you're straight". The presence of producer Armani XXXchange of Baltimore hip-hop outfit Spank Rock means there's a greater emphasis here on rhythm, often of a synthetic nature: "Alphabet Pony" bumps along on robust, lo-fi drum kicks and bursts of primitive electronics, while "Black Balloon" is a slow-burner that toys with layered percussion built from hand claps, scrapers, and tapped snare. The Kills still have problems with a big, memorable chorus–-assuming, indeed, that was ever their intention--but Midnight Boom is all about grit and grooves, and it does that just fine. –Louis Pattison

I would love to write like Louis Pattison, okay, I can, I can do this in MY language, but in English I can’t. Sadly, because I would love to write you more interesting, poetical and funny stuff.

wish list...( it's quiet and dusty and you can make rabbit shadows on the walls.)

The Christmas stress spared me. But actually I should have some, because in 4 days is Christmas, I’m sick and I haven’t any presents. So I don’t think about presents for friends and family, I just think about my wish list, and it is huge, too huge for a poor little girl like me.

Dear Santa Claus, Dear Christ Child,
I wish me…
A Star-Gazer Globe
Happy and free birds
More magic on earth
All these clothes
A furry gigantic friend
An old grimoire
A Teddy
At last universal peace.
My must people create war?
