Will this new O add to the MG?

Opel Insignia


Check Spec:
-2.0L Turbo producing 220BHP
-6-speed auto with manual select.
-0-100kmh in 7 sec
-Car of The Year 2009.

Many reviewers have applauded this car as the best in class be it comfort, drive , build-qualty or design, than literally all in this junior executive be it the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Ford Mondeo, VW Passat or even the BMW 3-series.

Only in price , has Opel lost the plot a bit ( or a lot) . It is almost 30% too expensive to compete well with its rivals.

Only time will tell, if this car is gonna finally pull Opel out from under the other much more vaunted German brands like Mercedes , BMW , Volkswagen and Audi.

will I want one? Yes to drive . To own? Give me a Volkwagen Passat CC or Renault Laguna Coupe , both of which costs thousands cheaper ....

Q.. ...See my point?

Italiano , no?

Well, well, well, look who isn't actually Italian. Snooki, alias Nicole Polizzi, aka "The Ultimate Guidette," is actually -- wait for it -- Chilean,

her cast-mate Jenni "J-WOWW" Farley revealed during a visit to FOX's 'The Strategy Room' on Tuesday.

"So what does she mean when she says Guidette?" asked the semi-incredulous FOX anchor, Jill Dobson.

J-WOWW's response? "That's a stereotype that people misconstrued with Italians.

It's a lifestyle. Like, the scene that we're in. It's not like Italian."

J-WOWW is open about her lack of Italian heritage; she's Spanish and Irish by descent. Snooki is adopted by an Italian family, hence her surname. J-WOWW also revealed that "Ron's not full Italian either,"

referring to Ronnie Magro.


What is Snooki's response to Woww's comments ?

"F**k You !"

as typically her.

So cool
More controversy . Purrrrrrrrfect .

I sense cast rivaly.

Q ... outch.

P.S : WTH , I still adore her to bits!

Enuff with the Walk-outs.

She sings for the Lovers. For the Love.

" To all you haters... I ain't singin to you . It's about the Lovers. Leave the stress at home. Tell the drama 'no'. You ain't gonna kill my vibe.This song is about You."

She sings with such eloquence in her opening up-tempo song from her #1 Debut album 'I Look to You' , at the start of her world tour which opened Down Under .

Yes, there are the nasty reviews circulating out there right now about her purportedly mediocre 'breathless' performance and all the drama about audience-walkouts and wanting refunds.

Give her a break ok?

She's not done this for years and is starting an exhausting world tour. She's not hyper 16 'Miley Cyrus' you know?

Too all the nasty critiques out there, here's my 2-cents worth: If you're so good, people would have been paying to see YOU.

But you're nothing more than the hundreds of millions who've seen HER.

So stop the ego-fuelled 'I've got standards' walk-outs you've done to Britney and Whitney.

It's not as if Kylie would do any better dance or song , that clearly, both of which are better at .

Period.

Q ....If you've bought tickets just to be there and hope to see a train wreck, and have something to spill on your own disgruntled life with that "I should be famous too " thought , there are much better ways to spend your money. Like watching the kangaroos watch you and thinking 'Ewww, what's this toad of a human doing in our beautiful wilderness, and quickly hop off.

Bad Romance

Relationships these days:

'Look here for Romance. Look else where for Love .'

Q

This Guido loves her Pinks

Snooki is as street as it gets; she knows her moves and can rough it out.


But She does know how to be diva-on-the-set , living the high life of glam.


Q ... P!nk and Paris , bring it on! This girl can 'take care of her self' and 'loves to be the centre of attention!' .

Genie out of The Bottle

Miss Polizzi looking bootylicious

The Grammy Awards, once again ,came and went.

The usual controversies (other than the bitching of fashionista watch-dogs) such as the seemingly undeserving winners ( a certain Diva-Hustler got a bus loads of Grammies again) and incessant rumours of bribes and favours abound. (Payment in Millions or in Kind, perhaps?^^)

Nothing, however , is as controversial as having Snooki around, of course. Star of hit reality show, Jersey Shore.

Not since Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Rihanna ,Amy Winehouse, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, had there been another celebrity with quite as many 'Scuttlebacks' in the fodders of tabloids.

But of course,

'Scuttlebacks are good!'

according to Wendy Williams.

Anyway, back to the gist of this entry, observers thronging the red carpet that evening had to do a double-take for , although, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift were the darlings of the night, Christina Aguilera was also there? Eh?

Q .... Surely Miss Polizzi is pleasing the fashion police.

P.S: I think it is very nice that there are days she wants to 'be tall' and pile it up high with 7-inch plantform heels and her signature 'high-poof' hair and then there are days like these where she's just letting loose, be edgy and have a good time and be totally secure about not being a 5'10 monster girl in NY and LA . Fabulous.

Cream Dream

Sour it.


Whip it.


Ice it.


Q .... cream pies, cream horns, butter cream, shaving cream....

Work yo A** Off.

The Difference between me and many is that I get work done. While most others just want to get Work over and done with.

Q... I guess some people are just noise makers being empty vessels.

Filthy (&) Rich

In the hit reality TV show , Jersey Shore, Snooki often gets down and dirty with the boys at the club .

When she's off on her own nights out, this girl knows her High life.

Not on booze, but on the goods.

Q... nice.

PS: The one in the white coat beside her looks like Boy George. Could it be?!

More News Jersey

Miss Hotness, diva on the set, Snooki

The Main cast of the hit MTV reality show , Jersey Shore, are heating up our TV screens with their bold and sexy , wild and hormone-fuelled antics.

Party, sex, booze and controversy is their thing.

Apart from the hit show and its reruns, they are also nicely busy with endorsement deals, guest appearances, talk shows, radio interviews, magazine shoots , modelling ... and music.

They are every where !

Q ... these guidos and guidettes are smouldering to say the least. Cheers!

P.S: Me thinks Snooki looks like Christina Aguilera meets Amy Winehouse meets Lil Kim. :) Which is a good thing right?

Squaring off

The Issue : Wendy discusses with Snooki about the controversy of her show 'Jersey Shore' .


Talk Show diva, Wendy Williams,

Jersey Shore star , Nicole 'Snooki'

Statuesque Wendy got this response from petite Snooki~

Snooki :

"The Italian, whatever, national, whatever their organization is, they don’t understand that 'guidos' and 'guidettes' are good-looking people that, you know, like to make a scene and be center of attention and just take care of themselves... They are old-fashioned. They don't know that; they think it's offensive, because maybe in their time it was offensive, but now it's kind of a compliment. So they don't understand that and that is what we are trying to say. They are way overreacting to the show. We're 22 to 29 just having fun at the shore. They are just taking it way out of proportion.

"

Wendy mentioned on the show that 'Jersey Shore ' is in fact , her guiltiest pleasures on TV.

Q

Claws

As I am typing this random beauty note, rather fresh out of the Tiger year countdown, I mentioned in my earlier post about leopard prints giving way to tiger stripes, as possibly, (I dread) the next hottest trend for fashion and style.

Less versatile than Leopard prints for sure but at least I can predict that tiger-design nails are in .

Observe the shades available.







Q .... rrrrrr.

Have a Roaring good year ahead!

I was thinking just maybe, leopard stipes and python prints of last seasons will make way for Tiger prints...No?

Wishing all Yellow-Skinned-folks , yeah that's the Chinese for you , you racist p*gs, Happy CNY 2010 !

May the new year of the Tiger bring ya'll prosperity, happiness and fulfilment.

Let us Cheer to a Tiger Beer Milk Shake!!! ^^( See my earlier post; Sinfully yummy recipe 'Toast to a Tiger' )

Q..I do hope this new year would get a lil better . Last year was a total sh*t.

The girl by the Shore

Snookie, the starlet from the reality hit series,

Jersey Shore.

Standing a mere 4'9, this belle teaches many small girls out there how to stand tall, having the right sassy go-getter attitude and still be beautiful, sexy and curvy-confident.

Indeed, this tiny girl is huge.

Lots of high-poof hair, high heels, high hemlines and high on attitude.

The only things running low will be her tanning lotion, mascara and bust-line. :)

Q .... this is how to be a 'Guidette'. ( Beautiful, confident, taking care of one self and love being the centre of attention, or so she says. That's my type of social chick there!)

Lost of a Queen

The talented McQueen

Lady Gaga wore these in 'Bad Romance' music video , remember?

His Reinterpretation of Louboutins .

His famous Oyster dress.

Alexander McQueen . The iconic British fashion designer has died of apparent suicide in his London apartment ,11 Feb 2010.

Classified as unnatural death . And an unnatural loss to the fashion world.

He will be missed.

Q

Oh Man !... It's Expensive!

Manuka Honey.

An elixir of Life and healing?

I sure hope so ! It costs a bomb.

Q

Totally Lush

Lush, the store that sells those delicious soap bars.

They have like hundreds of flavours, colors, textures and smells to choose from.

Throw a couple into your hot tub and see your water turn color and smells heavenly.

And best of all, great for your skin.

Love 'em .

Q

All that Glitters could be A Star

This is Elle. And she's the real life Popular meets OC girl , me thinks .

(Yes, her name is Elle , do you believe?! Nice.)

She's a girly girl , blond ( not in a derogatory way mind you) and all.

In her seemingly perfect little world, she is strangely relatable as she waxes lyrical about products and life style.

Not surprisingly , she has her legion of fans all over the Tube.

Before you diss her claiming she's nothing more than another spoilt blond airhead, check her out on the Tube and her blog at:

http://allthatglitters21.blogspot.com/

Q .... I am a fan . You must see why . She's hot.

Radioactive Shower

Apart from a vibrating shower head , this is it .

Although this would mean I'd have to shower in dark .

As much as I do know my orifices rather well, I don't know if that's what I dig. Creepy no?

Q... still, this is so cool. I want one.

Toast to a Tiger year

Boys grew up drinking milk shakes.

Men, on the other hand ( the fat pot-bellied kind that is) , drink beer.

What better way to usher in the new year of the Tiger, by having every one's perennial favourite beer, Tiger?

Beer shakes to be precise.

courtesy of The Sunday Times (7/2/10)

Yummy ! And oh my tummy !

Q... so gonna whip up some for my bros and their hoes ^^

PS: Personally, I wouldn't mind switching it up with chocolate chip peppermint or strawberry , mango or even cookies-and-creme ice cream instead of vanilla. Adding a shot of Kuala or Bailey's Creme would be mouth-watering too.
For thrills, add Tabasco Sauce as well :)

Arrive in Couture

Couture on wheels. Who else but the French to do it with such nominal finesse?

Citroen, the quirky french car maker is at it again.

They have aimed their designer flare guns at MINI. Wanting a piece of the hip and discerning driver-crowd who's out on style over substance.

Of course, there is substance.

Driving-wise, the company has ensured good sporty handling and responsive engines to give the famous-cart like drive of the MINI.

But to get to the point of the DS3, is to discuss the hundreds of thousands of options and combinations to tick off the list before flipping the cheque book.

Not just the technical specs sheet options, and certainly not just the car's body piant job, but also the roof color, the graphics on the roof and everywhere else , the interior fittings, the upholstery, the wing mirrors, the wheels and even the hub caps!

And virtually anything else one could possibly want to make their expensive ride trully their own.

This side of a bespoke Rolls Royce or Bentley, only the Fiat 500 being the other car that is priviledged enough to step out in such distinct style only the owner will gladly call his or her own.

Brilliant.

Q

Little White Pony

Riding topless in the wind on a little white pony...

MINI Convertible

Fiat 500C convertible

Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible


Daihatsu Copen roadster

Cute. Retro. Classy.

Any one of these will bring a smile and a second glance at the driver.

Yes, people will check you out.

Whip out those sunglases. Smiles at you will be glaring.

I want All 4 in my Driveway!

Q.. everyday's a holiday.

Adam's Apple

I've succumbed to the world domination of the Forbidden fruit.

Q ... you know I've tried.

An Air of Couture

Fiat 500C

Me thinks , this is one of the prettiest cars out there. Ever .

So, although cars like the VW Scirocco, Peugeot 208CC, Merc CLS, Mazda RX8, Renault Laguna Coupe, Audi S5 coupe , Porche Panamera and everything Lamborghini is sexier, this car here ,the Fiat 500C ('C' for Convertible, getit? ) is simply charming.

Kinda like an Old World charm to it . Not unlike the VW New Beetle and the MINI Clubman.

Sadly, something this desirable costs an arm and a leg. And very likely, half your torso as well.

Throw in your head, for good measure. You don't need it when the top is down anyway.

Q... hopeless romantic.
