Brit Awards 2010

The BRIT Awards 2010 with MasterCard. Took place on Tuesday 16 February at London’s Earls Court Arena commemorating 30 shows of the best in music. Now the Brits is usually a bit of a Shame but I must say I enjoyed this event. The best people won and the show was entertaining and showcased British Talent even hosted by Mr Peter Kay 

The show started with a Giant union jack performance from none other than Lilly Allen. Lilly has criticized the Brits but last night she finally won her award. She didn't fail to disappoint with her 'fingers up' to past people and the ceremony but in true lilly style she collected her award in a 'orange wig' which i thought looked great on her as she wore a black & white dress - She looked quirky and fun! 

Her performance was wicked I loved her eye makeup that matched her camouflaged fatigue print dancers and my favorite item was the vintage fashioned prams. (I used to roll in one of them available in Selfridges for ££££) Lilly looked mature in her laced backed leotard. Very noiiiice 






The Spice Girls , Melanie B looked amazing in her Shoulder pad cream white dress with gems encrusted round the neck. However i was not impressed with her new shaven 1 side hairstyle??? A mix between Cassie & Jason (horror character) It just did not look good! Mel, Mel, Mel ur hair looked like Hell- Did u see that rhymed lol.

However her other counter part Geri Halliwell looked very fresh faced and her age in her one shoulder dress & all her hair. Motherhood has done a lot for her as she looks complete- Do you remember the GINGER GERI ....A memory we don't want to revisit. Sorry my blog does not offer insurance so if you suffer from any eye injury or discomfort i am not liable so please LOOK AWAY NOW! 

Best International Solo Act Jay Z

He collected his award as Mr Sean Carter in a full 3 piece grey suit. I must say he is a BOSS MAN! Chic, suave & debonair as they come. Just so u know Mr Carter i saw the signs ;-) 

He performed as Jay Z, In my opinion this guy should be in the Hall of Fame, Jay Z or as Peter Kay said Jason to the Z,  is simply amazing im so glad he won and graced us with his presence and performance with the elegantly chic Alicia 'Miss' Keys. They both looked ridiculosy hot! Miss Keys wore a sequined v neck wrap short dress with matching 'Toilet bowl' black shoes. Her earrings were sexy to they actually matched Beyonce's Grammy dress (Just saying). 
If i was her stylist i would keep her in dresses as she has a shape to die for. Its important to work with your clients assets. As she is bottom heavy dark color's can create the illusion of a slimmer figure. When Miss Key's is wearing jumpsuits it makes her look very disproportionate. Hmm idea i need to restyle Miss Key's as she actually does not have her own unique style and to be honest she deserves my attention. Last night she looked amazing, sexy & classy.

 Jay Z's swagger was out of control, No jewels, no bling just stood with a magnitude of swagger wearing 'All Black' His oversized leather jacket with funnel neck detail was noicce and his simple Ray Bans and Black T, Fresh Black kicks just certified why he is who he is! My children will know his name. he is my Michael Jackson no offense to MJ or his fans but i LOVE Jay- Z, I am a true supporter.

       Dizzee Rascal represents for the UK  

Dizzee Rascal - As they say 'Better late than never' Dizzee Rascal finally got a chance to take home a eagerly anticipated Brit. This guy has worked so hard throughout his career that i felt the appreciation through my TV when he collected his award. In my heart though I felt that he was collecting the award for 'Every UK artist that has been grinding hard so in Dizzee's words ' I would like to accept to accept this on behalf of The Scene'. To see Dillion in his grey tailored suit was a nice change to his usually casual Jeans and tee look. I must say he really needed to tell his friend to leave the shiny blue/black suit at the Disco Fever costume store. 'Refunds are allowed within 28 days with proof of purchase' Mate take that suit BACK please. 

His performance with Florence was energetic and brilliant. Well done the Fiery red hair also took home the award for Best Album. 






JLS cleaned up at the Brit awards this year. I must say it has been a remarkable dream come true for the 4 boys. I was really impressed with there Aerial performance they looked good in there grey suits but word of advice Ashton please do up your shirt! Whilst watching my cousin quoted ' JLS a bottle of Bucks Fizz' Take from it what you will but there is something missing from that group.....Maybe its Swagger, i don't know but we can't upgrade them to 'Champagne status just yet'!!!
As MTV's Jasmine Dotiwala tweeted 'Damage would have been so proud'


The Brits would not be the Brits without the following

• Swearing
• Arguing
• Alcohol Abuse

Well the Brits did not disappoint and to ensure they captured the above mentioned points they made sure  Liam Gallegar was on hand. He swore, he was drunk/high, and was arguing with himself and to top it off he threw his microphone & award into the crowd. No i don't know how heavy those awards are but come on Liam what did the crowd do to you??? He has no behavior what so ever maybe the fact that his fellow Manquenian Robbie Williams and Jay Z his musical different genre rival won an award. 'Don't be bitter Liam, Its only a Entertainment show' LOL

Lady Gaga- 3 Awards

This artist is just dynamic in every performance I only ever expect the unexpected from her as she is just different. She looked amazing in her all white ensemble dedicated to the recently departed Lee McQueen. Her performance was 'Different & Interesting'. I loved her facial mask made from my grandmothers net curtains but it was really creative and made her look like a white swan. Lady Gaga has confidence to wear what she wore with her see through body stocking and only her modesty covered. Female empowerment at its highest.

Cheryl Cole

Wow what a great choreographed stage show, The first initial look was powerful, the white jacket with gold buttons & Black aviator glasses, the dancers were on point, energetic, beautiful and sexy. The male models physically appealing to me and all the other women drooling & looked great with there body painted tattoos. The clothing change over and remix of the song was needed and kept the crowd interested. When she came back out in her grace jones inspired hooded leotard with matching ruched belt i thought yeah you go Cheryl. I know Mr Cole has been sending inappropriate pictures to other woman and you want to show the world that it does not phase you, YOU DID IT!

HOWEVER......... Why was she miming???????? I am not gonna say nothing else on the subject other than  why cheryl why??

Favorite perfomance goes to:

Robbie Williams was brilliant, he is definitely 'Top Drawer material' I am glad that he won Life time achievement award. His performance was with a live band and he just kept the energy going and doing a medley of his songs was appreciated by the audience. As Simon Cowell said 'You don't have to be the greatest singer, but have charisma'. I will just add that you also need to have a stage presence & good old manchester swagger. Well done to you Mr Williams you have come a long way from Take That to a fully established solo artist.

                                      Other Celeb's 

Cat Deeley looked simply flawless in her all black outfit 


Fearn Cotton- KMT I was not impressed with her polka dotted dress- It was too small and she looked like she had a hunched back & did nothing for her figure! Fearn  usually looks a little bit more fashion retro but last night she just looked NO!


As the camera panned the crowd I caught a glimpse of Ndubz Tulisa looking stunning in a gold/cream mix dress with her hair pinned up- She looked beautiful.

Tom Ford looked simple but suave just like his website www.tomford.com   

Well thats enough from me, but have a look below for Official Winners of the Brits 2010- For those that didn't win, well done for being nominated and good luck for next year.

Rihanna's New Video 'Rude Boy'

Robyn Rihanna Fenty has come back even harder than her last music video (Hard feat Young Jeezy) with the eagerly anticipated next single of her Rated R Album 2009. The newly released 'Rude Boy' is the anthem to carry us ladies into 2010!! I have been playing this particular track and 'Rock Star' for a few months now and I must say the video does the track so much justice. 

The emotion behind this tune just makes me appreciate the relationship & behaviors between a male & female (LMAO). The song has so much attitude and gets me out of my chair every time i hear it! The song is definitely a energizer. 

The theme of the video is 'Bashment meets Fashion' Rihanna does not hold back by gyrating off her newly found figure, she looks sexy as hell but keeps it classy and seductive. 

The red, gold and green knickers and leopard print boots are way to cute and the hole affect jumpsuit is scrumptious. Loving the sequin cap as it creates a relaxed vibe to her character. Loving her dress that she is wearing whilst rocking out on the drums- Shows a more fun rather than her most recent 'demonic, evil, dark appearance that we have recently associated Rihanna with. (I love the 'Dark side' look Rihanna 'so nah worry bout it seen' lol (jamaican accent)

My favorite bit of the entire video has to be the black and white zebra effect ending- She looks flipping amazing and her quirky quiff (Jedward) hair style just completes the look. Not forgetting the writing on her ear!!!

Overall I love the concept and it shoots down Beyonce's and Lady Gaga's 'Video Phone which i hate watching because the video does not have any relevance to the song in my personal opinion. 

Anyway have a look for yourself and i hope you enjoy! This video gets a *****star rating

Mwah xx

Alexander McQueen RIP

The British fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead at his London home at the age of 40. Alexander McQueen was and is one of my favorite fashion designers of all time. His fragrance is so fresh and smells like a beautiful dream. McQueens work has been showcased by the worlds greatest celebrities such as Rhianna, Victoria Beckham, Michelle Obama plus many more. His works have graced the worlds catwalks in Milan, Paris, London & New York. Recently he has collaborated with Puma to bring about a innovative sports inspired collection. 

Famous for his Monochrome effect print clothes and weird unconventional shapes. A man of my heart I loved his quirkiness and his creativity within the fashion arena. Will be truly missed.  

His death comes just days before the start of London fashion week and a month before he was to unveil his new collection at Paris fashion week.

His company, Alexander McQueen, issued a statement saying: "On behalf of Lee McQueen's family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand, has been found dead at his home. 

Born in London in 1969 as the youngest of six children, McQueen left school at the age of 16 and was immediately offered an apprenticeship at the traditional Saville Row tailors Anderson and Shephard and then at neighbouring Gieves and Hawkes.

McQueen was a four-time winner of the British designer of the year award as well as the international designer of the year award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. He was awarded the CBE in 2003.

One of my favorite celebrities can always be seen under her new image rocking the latest McQueen clothing.

Recently I brought another Alexander McQueen Scarf and its one of my favorite accessories right now. I hope his Fashion house do him justice and make his diverse, out of the box creativity and vision live on through out Fashion History

FOOTWEAR 

These shoes are a Fashionistas dream, Not sure if i could walk in them BUT there break the boundaries of the traditional shoes structure. 

These Alexander McQueen PUMA Menswear pumps. Very classy and comfortable for men who are looking for casual wear footwear for fashionable night out. 

The color range wedges are simply WOW, I would wear these everyday as you can see the shoes make the outfits. Fav has to be Rhianna's Yellow & Black- Striking vibrance.

Dresses

The shape and effect of his dresses are simply amazing, The cut and precision of the design is perfect. the choice of color works simultaneous and help the dress look flawless on Victoria Beckham.

        This black dress is simply divine.

   

. 

Katie Holmes looks beautiful in this dress, the texture and layers draw the eyes to her boyish figure. Making her look feminine and confident.

RIP Lee McQueen 

From a Fashionable admirer

Yesterday it was confirmed he was found dead in his wardrobe- He died of asyphiation and hanging! He was suffering from grief after the recent death of his mother Jan 16th he went to bed for a week and friends employees tried to motivate him but it was all too much for him. It comes in a year after his friend who encourage him to launch committed suicide 1 year prior!

How ironic he hung him self in a wardrobe, I've always wanted a aq in mine. Loving fashion to. Death!
