Fashion is my alphabet, says Dello Russo for H&M
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 15:50:26 05/03/12
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
Japanese Vogue Fashion Director Anna Dello Russo, known for her outlandish and eccentric sense of style, is set to design a range of accessories for Swedish retailer H%M.
Russo, dubbed "the Lady Gaga of fashion" for her maximalist fashion choices, is often seen being chased by photographers at global fashion weeks every season.
"An idol of the blogosphere whose flamboyant outfits are endlessly documented by style photographer sand broadcasted globally through the web...Unabashedly glamorous, precious and playful, the range is an expression of Dello Russo's taste for ornamentation," H%M said about her in a press release.
The collection will feature jewellery, sunglasses, shoes, bags and a trolley.
"I am excited by this collaboration: this is the first time H%M involves a Fashion Director in a special project. This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it. I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find. As a stylist I know accessorization is essential: It is the personal touch to any outfit. With these pieces everybody can have fun, turning an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day", Russo said in a press release.
Russo took cameras inside her colourful apartment, where she collects jewellery like many people collect art or furniture.
"When H%M called me, they asked me to do something and I said I preferred to do accessories because accessories for me is the focus in my life," she told H%M's camera crew. "As you see in my house, I collect them. Everything precious, everything sparkly. When I was a kid I was always like that in the window," showing what she looked like as she peered through shop windows as a child.
"Fashion is my real language. I can tell much more interesting things through clothes than words. This is my real language. This is my alphabet," she added.
Russo is the latest guest collaborator with the high street retailer, following in the footsteps of Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Matthew Williamson, Jimmy Choo, Lanvin, and Versace.
The collection will be available in H%M's global stores and online from October 4.

Pop Singer, Songwriter and Author from Henderson, NV. Manika performs live in Studio B of Mevio in San Francisco.

Website Facebook Twitter Myspace Flickr Youtube
Bringing a fresh, edgy vibe to mainstream pop and unafraid to boldly speak her mind, 18-year-old vocal powerhouse Manika is set to release her upcoming debut single “Just Can’t Let You Go” this May. Working with some of music industry’s highest caliber management, songwriting and production talent, Manika (pronounced Ma-NEE-ka) was discovered by Frank DiLeo, Michael Jackson’s long-time manager, and television personality and revered vocal performance coach CeCe Sammy (U.K.’s “Pop Idol” ).
“Just Can’t Let You Go,” which Manika debuted live at the 2010 Hollywood Style Awards was written and produced by Tearce Kizzo and Francci (Keyshia Cole, Patti LaBelle, Adina Howard and JoJo). The duo is also working with Manika on numerous other tracks for the artist’s full length forthcoming debut album, alongside such heavy hitters as Qura Rankin and Evan Bogart (Beyonce, Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield, Jennifer Lopez). Manika is also prepping for her debut tour later in 2011 with Travis Payne, best known for working with Michael Jackson as the choreographer for the proposed “This Is It” tour and the associate producer for the subsequent film “This Is It.”
Inspired by such artists as Avril Lavigne, Pink and Alanis Morrisette, Manika is working on modern Top 40 tracks with a rock edge featuring attitude and fiery rock guitars. Says Manika, “I’ve always loved both writing and songwriting,” she adds. “The journey is fascinating to me.
When I watch a live performance back on video, I think about how everything started from a simple emotion, feeling or story I wanted to tell. The next step is to play with song ideas, and then lay down instruments and vocals. Then it all takes shape and suddenly that simple spark has blossomed into something huge and powerful that people can enjoy.”
Manika—whose mixed heritage includes Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian and Spanish–brings intelligence, wit and tons of emotional life experiences to her songs. Early on, she won the “Outstanding Performance Award” three years straight at the National Performing Arts Festival in New York City. At age 15, she wrote and published The Exciting Adventures of Boo , a fictional children’s book and donated proceeds from the first 750 copies to the Nevada SPCA animal shelter. Manika also participated in writing workshops for children and went to visited children’s hospitals to read it to young cancer patients and their families. These activities are just the beginning of the many philanthropic goals that Manika intends to pursue as her musical career takes off.
“When CeCe was first approached me I told her that I was fully committed to my music and performing career , and that is my passion… to me it’s always been about being an all around creative person. Both live and on studio recordings, there’s nothing more important to me than touching people with my music and connecting with them through the stories I’m privileged to tell.”

Can We Move On From Kirstie Alley
[LESS INFO] 12 VIEWS | ADDED 09:24:36 05/31/11
America it is time to stop with our obsession of celebrities that don’t deserve it, like Kirstie Alley . Do people still have such fond memories of Cheers that we can’t let go of Kirstie? Check out her wikipedia page, she has had a very small career, so how does she keep invading all aspects of pop culture. Please just let her out to pasture with the rest of the cows.
I don’t know why, but I can’t get my fat dome around Kim Kardashian ’s recent engagement to New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries . More so over the ring. The ring has a diamond that is over 20 carats in size and cost an estimated $2 million. This is an NBA player that you never heard about to this year, and you know how much he has made in his seven year career, $14 million. This is a guy who has pretty much done diddly-poo for his whole NBA career, and made that much money. Do you know where he got a diamond that size? Well he shoved an oyster up Kim’s ass after the immense squeezing and pressure, viola. I know that’s how pearls are made, but I needed to get a big ass joke in their somehow.
ICBW fact of the day. I did not watch one second of American Idol this season. Not a recap on the internet, not a highlight on TV. Thank You.

Michael Butler suggests a music book for the reader on your shopping list
Rock Roadie by James "Tappy" Wright
Purchase on Amazon
Sex and drugs and rock ‘n roll and packed full of conspiracy theories …….The Animals; Jimi Hendrix; Tina Turner; & Elvis………Super roadie Tappy Wright takes his readers on an exclusive access all areas tour during more than thirty years on the road with the biggest names in rock and roll as tour manager and close confidante.
• 'After years of press speculation, Tappy finally reveals his "being there" experience of what happened when Jimi Hendrix died. How did it happen.....? Read Rock Roadie’s Revelation!'
Geordie “Tappy” was there at the beginning when Eric Burdon and the boys formed the Animals and when they recorded their anthem ‘House of the Rising Sun’. He was there at the end when they re-formed for a world tour in the early 80’s.
He was there at the beginning when unknown guitarist Jimi Hendrix played to a handful of punters in a smoky American club and next day recorded one of his biggest hits ‘Hey Joe’. He regularly took Jimi and his band to the VD clinic as groupies gave them more than their bodies.
He looked after superstar Tina Turner and her fiery husband Ike on their first ever tour of the UK.
He told the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Aaron Presley, in no uncertain terms to go away when he took the telephone call from who he thought to be an impostor, before grovelling to the great man and finally being given a private audience at Graceland.
Rolling Stone Brian Jones and Beatle John Lennon were guests at his 21st birthday party…Lennon’s legendary sense of humour resulted in a cake fight between the two.
He fended off sexual advances from sex-bomb actress Jayne Mansfield.
He has seen it all. He has done it all. He’s been jailed and he’s been ‘press ganged’ into the US Army as a deserter. He came close to joining the ‘Monkees’. He was witness and victim to early racism in the music business. He has seen drugs kill and destroy. He single-handedly defeated the Spanish Armada’s attack on London, during a bad acid trip on LSD. He’s shed enough tears.
He knows the real reason Hendrix and his manager Chas Chandler parted company at the height of his fame. And he’s telling.
Tappy’s insight into the crazy world of rock and roll in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s is free of PR puff and fluff. He tells it like it is, like it was because he should know. He was there. His own sexual exploits are X-rated……he even ended up being photographed for a double page spread in girlie magazine Escort!
This is no ordinary book. It is extremely funny and will appeal to rock and roll fans across the globe, those of us who were around in the free-love days of the 60’s (he was at Woodstock with Hendrix) will revel in the nostalgic trip down memory lane. It should also serve as a historical archive record of the birth of the Animals and beyond.
Tappy was born in Whitley Bay, just outside Newcastle, the son of a miner and lucky to have food on the table of the family’s tiny, two up, two down, terraced house. His love of music and canny ability to be in the right place at the right time resulted in Tappy helping form the Animals, even playing second guitar on many of their hits.
He went on to work with Jimi Hendrix, Ike and Tina Turner, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Peter Noone (Herman’s Hermits), Chuck Berry, Jayne Mansfield and Jerry Lee Lewis and had professional encounters with Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Liza Minnelli, Sammy Davis Jnr., Dean Martin, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, and Frank Sinatra…an almost endless who’s who of music and film stars. His dream really came true when he got to meet his boyhood idol, movie star and comedian Jerry Lewis.
He married a Polish Princess and spent much of his time with her looking over his shoulder for the Polish Secret Service; sure he was under surveillance and his telephones being tapped. Amazingly, he was approached by a mystery man in a London pub and invited to become a spy for the British.
Tappy’s fame in his native Geordie –land helped him buy and run the very club where it all started for him and the Animals, the infamous Club-A-Go-Go. Recession and some bad business decisions saw Tappy’s world fall apart when the club and his other business interests went bust and he was left with huge debts totalling £500,000.
But a natural survivor, Tappy has now cleared those debts and spends his time between his home in Whitley Bay and a holiday home in Florida, where he is a regular visitor to the famous Hard Rock Café, as the world’s only living rock and roll memorabilia, regaling diners with his fascinating tales of life on the road with the stars of rock and roll. He even owns one of Jimi’s rare guitars, given to him before Jimi’s death. The real-life Alfie, Tappy’s exploits and sex-ploits offer an affectionate, witty, and sometimes touching, dash through musical history experienced first-hand.
Packed full of conspiracy theories, truths finally told and previously unheard anecdotes, Rock Roadie is a gripping and hilarious read from the man that famous names were hoping would keep his silence. But Tappy Wright is finally speaking out and he’s telling it all!
Supported by a spoken-word tour of the US and with guaranteed media interest through revelations about Hendrix’s alleged murder, Rock Roadie is the autobiography that every 60s/70s music fan has been waiting for.
As Eric Burdon wrote in his 1984 autobiography…”A good road manager is as important as a good lead singer. Tappy Wright was the best in the business”.
Ends
Tappy is soon to hit the road again, to begin a tour of a different sort – this time as the star of his own show, a “spoken word performance” – treating audiences at theatres and University campus’ to his account of life on the road and backstage…………access all areas. Who knows……..some of Tappy’s old pals may just turn up for old time’s sake.
Tappy is represented by veteran music biz manager, film producer, agent and promoter Rod Weinberg, the man who persuaded the Animals to put their differences for each other aside to re-form for the 1983 World Tour.

Composer Michael John LaChiusa, and directors Diane Paulus and Stephen Wadsworth have all worked in the once mutually-exclusive worlds of opera and theatre. They share their thoughts about the nature of each of these entertainment forms, how they differ and what they share; the use of amplification and how it affects productions in both opera and theatre; the so-called "American Idol" effect on musical performers; changes in training for opera singers; the differing scale - and manner - of pay; whether super-titles enhance or distract from opera performances; and the importance of the director's role and how it differs in theatre and opera.
