Glow in the Dark



And he finally came.

Months of hype and wait. And over an hour late.


With people in the audience hollering " Don't be a Diva, Kanye West!"

Mr West finally exploded on stage amid a flurry of pent up anticipation from an eager crowd at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, 29th October 2008.

The 'glow in the dark ' concept was way less spectacular than the dazzling effects it had when it first started back in the states.


What we saw were lots of jewel-toned beam lights flashing , pulsating and swirling wildly. Not bad where the pyrotechnics are concerned . But still, it doesn't belly its name sake like its US-debut.

Kanye never bothered once to interact with the audience. He never bothered to explain why hundreds had to wait so long for anything to begin.

He's a talent alright. Owns the stage. Having a good mix of charisma and energy.
His voice was flawless and real. He amazes us with his ability to remember every line of the (possibly) thousands of lyrics he motor-mouthed .


But , if not for an obviously eager and entusiastic crowd, there were many times it looked like he was simply obligated to be there and put up a good show, not because he was trully ever eager to play in these parts.

He just droned on and on , amazing with his vocal prowess and passion for his music but drowzing with his lack of genuine connection with the audience.

Still, an unforgetable night on all counts.

Beautiful people. Great sound system. Great energy .

A flawless if souless performance.

I Kissed a Girl




Katy Perry . The new girl on the block.


Whose causing quite a stirr not since Russion girl-duo T.A.T.U .

Talking about lesbian/ gay sex and the angst that comes with social rejection.


A tried and tested formula that has obviously worked well, given the chart performance of her international debut album, 'One of the Boys', so far.

Pitching herself against the Avril Lavigne, Amy Winehouse, T.A.T.U, Amy Lee and Britney Spears markets all-at-once is quite a feat.


Either this will pay off or she's so gonna bomb out of the scene.

Watch her in a couple of years time. We'll see.

Prime Estate

When it comes to Real Estate, it's all about location-location-location. Or so they say.


But when it comes to these estates, it's all about the jouney there.






Big in foot print.

Big on performance.

Big on price tag.

Big on taxes.

Big on fuel guzzling.



BIG.

That's what they say too, right?

When it comes to Real Estate, Size matters too.


Q

The Rose





'Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love is it a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you is all the seed

Is the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
Is the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
Is the one won't be taken
who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live

When the night has been to lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only for
the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snow
Like the seed that with the suns love
in the spring becomes The Rose.
'
~ By Bette Midler

Touching.

They don't write songs like that anymore.

Everything these days is all about , money, fame , sex and grind.

Abs-solutely FABulous

Looking good feeling gorgeous?





Not really. What's in your mind and other's can warp one's perception still and ruin everything.

Discrimination against the beautiful and gorgeous.

That's CRAZY.

Tracks on my Face


No calls. No replies.

The only time (*) called was when (*) wanted a ride in the wee early hours of morning like, 3 am , when (*) came back from overseas and wanted a lift to yet another dance club.

And (*) wanted loads of cash too, because (*) 'forgot'.


And yet I drove and I gave. And yes I feel used and stupid.

I'm writing lyrics for a new song just to exemplify my feelings right now :
'I didn't bother to blow my hair. I didn't bother to wear my contacts or appear in a beautiful dress and heels. I didn't bother to put on make up. The drive was there long but I wasn't eager to reach my destination.'

Model Reserrection

Hey Nora...


Was wathicng a late re-run of the horror flick Halloween Reserrection .

And we all know the only reason it's worth watching is a guest appearance of Supermodel Tyra Banks.


Frankly, watching this show is like watching Tyra hosting an episode of ANTM Halloween special.

One after the other , they get eliminated. Pretty much like failing to do well in a (twisted) commercial.

And the last one standing (the girl not going home tonight and not having to
immediately 'pack her belongings and leave the house' ) gets to squirm in Tyra's pool of blood ... 'And the winner is ....'

.... T.Y.R.A .

LMAO.

Vibrator



Terence Treat D'Arby, this multi-platinum and Grammy Award winning singer, composer and song writer has been largely out of the public eye.

But as I've mentioned before, a great artiste is always worth talking about once more.


Once a big recording artiste with Columbia records with albums like his debut solo album, 'Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby', released in 1987, is his best-known and, in commercial terms, most successful work. Itself having sold over 12 million copies to date, he's now under his own independent label (which means less budget for publicity and production) and a devout Buddhist (despite his Gay status).

He's now known by the name (on his ID officially at least) , Sananda Maitreya .

But other than his wildly successful debut album back in 1987, his other much talked about album is this : 'TTD's Vibrator' ( 1995. Sony Music).

On the cover , he's with Angel wings, cropped platinum hair, tight abs and all. Everything that screams 'Gay Pride'. And laudable at that. Nice.


Check out the track listing and there are great tracks of pop-rock matched to his charismatic vocals; songs like the lead track 'Vibrator', 'Supermodel (Sandwich)/ with Cheese', 'Read my Lips (I Dig your Scene)' and 'We Don't Have Much time Together'.


Just wanting to sample-quote a line from his song 'Supermodel' :
" Dress up to your thigh, you wear it very high
You walk by in a pig's eye
I'm a guy so I sigh
But you ain't shy
Besta besta best of all, you're Bi Bi Bi. "



All speak of a musician-singer who is very secure of himself.

Be Jealous!

Starring into his own reflection:

Just the picture, says so much about the creative and camp ways of this new-fangled men's beauty product line, Billy Jeolousy.


It promises ravishing results for the new urban male
. The metro male. The prissy male. Whatever you choose to call the smooth modern Man.

The million dollar question is:
Does it work? Hmmm.


Watch this space in a couple of weeks time, and hopefully...

You'd be jealous!!!

More than a Ear Worm

Don't stop the Music

Ever had a particular song you're crazy about at any point in time?

Of course we all do.

That theme song that goes on and on.


In fact you're prolly having one right now. That song that just pops into your head incessantly.

It may not even be a particularly infectious pop ditty.

Most of the time, we dismiss it as a mere hear worm.


But is it really?

Have you ever considered the possibility that we may be less aware of certain emotional or mental swings; certain thoughts that may be running unwittingly through our mental scapes?


Thus, we may be having a certain song which becomes some theme , whether for the mood it conjures or the lyrics that speak so real.

And you may not even know it !!!!


So, if you're having certain thoughts or feelings that you haven't really sorted out due to the hectic pace of life, the answer may really lie in the songs you're gravitating to at that point or period in time.


Seek your answers there.

The WAGs are not Hags.

Spot the WAGs; Victoria the deserving one. And the other's a skank who's barked up the right tree; more a TAG (along) than a WAG.

The English Soccer fraternity is becoming a couple of wussies.


Blaming the wives and girl friends for their demise in recent years despite having the 'Golden Generation?'

WTF.

No publicity control. Money-and-media-hype-over-game mentality. Allowing a circus to build around them . Having their over-paid and underperfoming players being more mindful of the balls between their legs rather than the one on the pitch.


Watever.


Speak to The Queen; top WAG Victoria B. Has done nothing but good for David.


It all speaks ill of a Country driven by the ills of fame and fortune. A complete lack of restraint and self-disicipline.

So quit being pussies and blame the pussies that their prissy players are shagging every night.


Mega wusses.

P*ss OFF.


Yuck... Q

Bezz Legz in the Biz

Who has the best legs in Show Biz? ")



Victoria, the goddess of legs. Here she ain't even posing and she's already amazing.
Supermodel Tyra Banks, was booked for 25 shows in the first week she was in Paris back then when she was just 17. A record in the industry. See why?

Britney,the dance princess stomps on stage like no other.

Supermodel Heidi does a Basic Instinct, like Sharon Stone, but only better.

Kylie Minogue, petite but her legs go on forever. That's her body language.

Supermodel Naomi, the fiercest strut in the business. Period.

Supermodel Alek proves its all in the genes. Bone structure is everything.

Mariah 's hem lines go as high as her notes and perfectly show's off her highly insured pair of heavenly pillars.

Gisele, the supermodel of supermodels (Tyra and Heidi, please sit down...) , need I say more?


Personally, though, I love singer and fashion icon Victoria Beckhams' !!!!!

This girl's got the gams
I tell ya.

Since her Posh days, we all knew she had it.
