Aint No Excuse..

There is NO excuse for my lack of posts..I was going to come out with a million reasons like: "I was just too busy over Christmas" or "I've had no time to blog since I've just come back from New York" And some random other excuses. But truth be told, although all the above was true, the REAL reason? I was stuffing my face over Xmas like every other Tom, Dick & ... although I am glad I am still able to fit into my satin pink dress I got from TFNC... Just.

Throw Back Track of the Week!

House Party is not only of my favourite films but also one of the best films ever. There is one song from the film that always makes me wanna buss a move Kid n Play stylee (and trust me I'm not the kinda girl that does that often!) So being the generous blogger I am I will share one of the BIGGEST party tunes ever - by the super producers/vocalists tht are Full Force - Ain't My Type of Hype. Full Force have worked with loads of artists such as The Backstreet Boys, The Black Eyed Peas and Britney Spears, Bob Dylan and James Brown. Don't let anyone tell you I don't let you know about the best old skool tunes! ;-) Enjoy! For the Full Force video click the link below:- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=R_oOGJK0zaA Other bits: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Force http://www.forcefulworld.com

George Bush Shoe Attack

It was going to happen sooner rather than later. I'm just surprised it was a journalist at a press conference who did it and not a random on the street. (see our very own John Prescot) And the media says you need to watch out for hoodies, ASBO's and other stereotypical members of the public who attack, rob and steal from us. If you didn't know, let me enlighten you. On the 14th December 2008 in a press conference in Iraq, US President (but not for long!) George Bush was attacked by an Iraqi journalist who threw his pair of shoes at him. One after the other. True stories. :-) Looking back now isn't it always ALWAYS the people you least expect? Remember John Prescot who delivered THAT right hook to a random man at a protest? Innocent man if I might add. Poor sod. (Although I can't help but giggle when I watch it again on youtube..the old boy did good!!!) Just because I'm on a roll... :-)

"Miami" Beach Party

Never in my life have I felt so conned, cheated and lied to. No, I didn't get conned into buying a fake Chanel 2.5 bag nor did I mistake £10.00 for £100.00 credit in my account. (Both of these incidents did actually occur believe it or not). It was worse that that. In fact, as I type this blog I feel a shudder run deep down my spine. When I was forwarded an invitation (from my beloved facebook) of the Miami Beach Party I signed up. On the run up to the event Kiss and Choice FM were equally advertising the event like no man's business. Every advert and every plug was for the "biggest, baddest beach party you're ever going to attend" or some cringeworthy cheesy lyrics along the lines of that. Every five minutes Miami Beach Party get your tickets!!! Miami Beach Party get your tickets before they run out!!! Miami Beach Party get your bikinis and shorts ready!!! Mainly in association with Kiss FM, The Miami Beach Party held in North London's Alexandra Palace, was meant to be the "largest EVER indoor beach event" hmmm I wasn't so sure when I stepped into the hall. There were two large sandpits and in the centre was the DJ with all the ravers..a mere 400 of them. Even though surprisingly I received a facebook message that stated up to 3,000 guests arrived...erm...are you sure?! Ticket buyers were promised:- "Stylish Summer Wear" and instead we got "Sleazy Slutty Wear" and that's by the people who made the effort! Several of the guys still had their leather jackets, hats and scarfs on. And no they were not the only people who were feeling rather chilly, in what was meant to be "28 degrees of heat". Are you noticing a pattern here?? Think someone has taken the little white lie thing a bit too far. The biggest disappointment wasn't the lack of plastic palm trees or the lack of people or the fact that the only way to buy drinks was to exchange money for "tokens" (which in itself was a big palarva). The main disappointment? Jay Sean, chart-topping RnB artist, didn't turn up. Don't get me wrong, I am not his biggest fan, but if I was I wouldn't exactly be thrilled at his no show, would you? What made up for the lack of innovation and atmosphere of the most hyped up events of the season get was that the line up who did turn up (Shortee Blitz, Masterstepz and Donaeo) did their part well the crowd went crazy! Would I go again? Would you stab yourself in the eye a second time? Well there is your answer. I couldn't end this magnificent blog without showing you the best (and worst) offenders of beachwear. It's beyond beggar's belief that ladies dress up in the most BIZZARE outfits. If they wanted that kind of attention they should give my main man Maury a call. He'll hook 'em up! But on a serious note - what kind of person would I be if I didn't show my praise and offer my advice tips for people?! :-) Enjoy!

BEST

Simple polka dot playsuit never fails and cut-out swimsuit looks sexy not slutty with 3/4 jeans

Love Love Love this cute print dress

I love that these step-brothers went in matching Sailor outfits - favourite by far

WORST

Do I really have to justify why this whole picture just looks WRONG?? & I'm not even refering to the "lady's" atrocious outfit...

The two on the left looked fine, minus lil mz "gun fingers" who just ruined a perfectly good pic...

How NOT to wear a silver shine cut-out swimsuit..teamed with super tight and shiny leggings-Gheez Louise save the leggings for another outfit child!

Dressing up in your ballet leotard from when you were six years old is just WRONG no other way to put it love (at least she had the decency *cough* to wear underwear even if it IS VPL )

Toodles! For more info on the Miami Beach party check out:- http://www.miamibeachpartylondon.com

Song of the Week!

With the UK facing it's worst economic crisis in 60 YEARS (yep you read that right) and everybody suffering the credit crunch, what better time for Wiley to release his new video for his single, "Cash In My Pocket" on his Myspace page. Featuring Mark Ronson, the video takes a comical take on the UK's economic crisis. The song's relevance to the current state of the UK economy and people's attitude to money is so on point to what is happening in the world today. It's not just the UK that is suffering, you only have to watch the news and see the headlines to know that America is in the same crisis. Yes the most powerful country in the world has probably the worst economy. Go figure.

Wiley Cash In My Pocket

I watched it throughout and laughed my head off for what felt like the 3:40 minutes! The cast in the video are hilarious and the tune isn't bad either. Enjoy! :-)
