    Ooooh… I luv ur way ~ Lily Allen

    Yeah… so perhaps it is predictable, but how could I resist??? I almost feel this natural obligation to feature UK celebs/talent and share… from one homeland to another!!! Thus featuring: Lily Allen. As though her bad ass, “I don’t give a #^$%” persona wasn’t enough to grab any one’s attention; her fashion sense is the biz… she just makes it work! Aside from THAT, try to resist becoming addicted to her soulful sound and the way that she takes relatable lyrics (coded at times) and puts them on beats that one can’t help but bob their heads to! While critics are often skeptical about her talent, she has received awards and recognition from the masses, although I will warn that her “lyrical content may be seen as offensive by some audiences”! Featured with Common on “Drivin’ Me Wild” brought her sound to the North American charts but Ms. Allen has been winning hearts in the UK since… 1995, all starting with a MySpace page!!! And what’s next for Lily Allen? After having launched her own line of dresses, shoes and accessories titled ‘Lily Loves’, she currently has no plans to make another album and did not renew her record contract. It seems her “special relationship” with Chanel has channelled her efforts that-a-way… she’s scheduled to open a clothing rental boutique!

    The song that brought her to the urban market… in my opinion

    My all-time fav Lily Allen song; picture Me, Mum, bacon butties and Sunday morning BBC3

    remix feat. Wale ~ produced by Marc Ronson & featured on Wale’s ‘100Miles and Running’ Mixtape

    Don’t be afraid of the title, take in the lyrics

    GrungeBuds

    As if white ipod head phones don’t send that ‘leave me alone’ message loud and clear next time you are on the bus or subway – you might considering asking Santa for these.

    I kinda like the GrungeBuds – The Valkyrie

    They are fashionable electronic accessories and B-list celebs are all over them. ^_^

    One more angel in heaven

    So crazy, I was at the Grove in LA when we first heard the news (on the Blackberry of course). People were gathered in front of TV screens of LA Times and people were CRYING. In tears, it was surreal. He died because of a cocktail of 7 drugs taken incorrectly and cardiac arrest. UCLA cancelled evening classes because of the insane traffic this has caused near that area. MJ is human, and seceptible to death – but his contributions to fashion, music and style will live on forever.

    I got this Tweet:

    “Aaliyah died on the 25 Micheal Jackson-25 Static Major-25 Left eye-25&JamesBrown-25 Farrah Fawcett-25”

    Google search hits went way up with the #died on 25th.

    There’s one more angel in heaven, there’s one more star in the sky.
