The 2011 VMA's!

This year i was not disappointed!, It was an amazing year at the VMA's and i was left more excited about the performances  They were amazing!. But everyone was shocked when Beyonce revealed her beautiful baby bump and left the world questioning but then she confirmed it during her performance leaving everyone shouting with excitement. Chris brown left us all cheering with his amazing performances, there ws so much love felt in the air and this year i did feel as if all the artist were honoring each other. This year was very exciting but was kinda disappointing when Katy perry went home with only two awards when she was nominated for ten! but she won video of the year which was well deserved

In his honor

Today the spirit of freedom and history was felt in the air throughout the united states as the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial finally opened in Washington today. Martin Luther king holds a place in my heart like no other because he is so brave and defined a nation along with many other civil rights leaders. The civil rights movement was one of the darkest moments in our history because human beings were treated poorly just because of the color of their skin, Martin Luther king stood up and took charge and because of him and many others we can all shake each others hands and love one another without any fear. In those horrible times people were killed and had their rights stripped from them!


Now the memorial has lots of symbolism because it represent's the struggle that beautiful African american people had to face in those difficult times, The theme of mountains is used in this memorial and really conveys a very peaceful setting. We sometimes don't understand how lucky we ALL are today, The world is still a scary place but it was way worse before. We all need to sit and reflect on how powerful Martin Luther king is because he fought for people's lives, And whats more beautiful then the gift of life?, we all need to treat each other better because we are a family. We need to understand each other and see that everyone is different and just because a person is darker or lighter does not mean ANYTHING! we all have a beating heart inside us all.

Happy fucking birthday!

Happy Birthday Madonna!, I'm so excited today because we all celebrate the day history was born. Madonna has taught me so much and has inspired me in so many ways, she is not only a gay icon but a historic figure in pop culture, She raised the bar and she is one of the reasons that artist in the music industry today can show some skin without consequence! she broke rules and she is still today an amazing innovator.


She is the material girl that we all love and we can all say we have our Madonna moments, Madonna moments are moments we have had throughout life while listening to a Madonna record, Some have lost their virginity to some of her tunes, I mean she's MADONNA!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hundreds of people were killed for trying to get through the wall, this day we should all celebrate that we no longer have a division.

Jean Paul Gaultier Resort 2012

         Jean Paul Gaultier
             

The collection below is from Jean Paul Gualtier's resort 2012 collection, What i love about this collection is some of the color blocking which reminds me of Gucci's spring 2011 collection, The prints are also very beautiful and the pants look amazing! my favorite are the ones with the black flower print. The all white suits look amazing to, I just wished that the heels would be higher.


What really caught my attention from this unique collection are the pants, what attracts me to them are the way they start baggy but then sticks to the skin in the lower area it looks very sexy because it seems like lots of collections are using pants/skirts, Looks like a skirt and pants put together.


There are 24 looks in this collection

Image that speaks

The image above was taken by me when i was in pier 45 which is located in New York right after the sun went down, from the image i took what your looking at is downtown Manhattan and the tallest building in this picture is the freedom tower under construction. I picked this picture because i felt so alive in that moment, I had that feeling because i was witnessing history (Freedom tower construction) and the gift of life and beauty (New York). every time i go i just sit down and observe the scene around me and i get emotional because i get to witness something so beautiful and something i might never see again. I'm obsessed with death because i live my life as if it can happen any moment and i observe the scene and memorize it so just in case i were to die the next day or hour i have that beautiful image in my mind before i pass on to the other side. I love taking pictures because no one knows if that would be the last time that beautiful image would be there. Its something i do everyday of my life because i have to appreciate the beauty that i witness everyday! we need to take charge of our lives and see that we are so fucking lucky because we are alive and we get to live, There's nothing better in the world then that..... Living.

The september issues!

The world of fashion celebrates as the September issues of Vogue & W magazine were finally revealed. W magazine has done it again with Kristen Stewart being featured on the cover, She looked amazing and this "Valley of the Dolls" look is so fresh and new for her. Kate moss graces the cover of Vogue's September issue wearing Alexander McQueen and the issue is devoted to her beautiful wedding. 


I'm so excited to have these two issues in my hands because both issues look really interesting and very different. Especially the W magazine one. Kristen Stewart is mostly known for her down to earth attitude and very mellow spirit and looking at the pictures show a different side to her which looks amazing! she looks beautiful on the issue. I have a feeling the W issue will be a best seller.

Dance until you die

Life is a gift but life also brings lots of challenges, Some people find ways to relive the stress through hurting themselves, Taking drugs, or even suicide. And i say NO! i think the best way to live a healthy/Stress free life is to dance!. Now i have so many different things that i do to keep myself positive but one of my favorites is dancing alone in an empty room the beat of the record blasting through the walls.

When im home alone sometimes i turn on the music and just dance, I create my own dance moves and i cry, I laugh, but most important i feel happy and so alive in the soul. I think that dancing is a good way to maintain happiness because your doing something without fear and your trying something new! i deeply recommend doing this alone first because you feel fearless and you take control of your own destiny in the dance moves.

This may sound crazy but what in the world is not? AHA!. Just have peace in mind and have the beat in your feet and dance the night away!. Maybe the doctors or the pills can’t heal your depression but dancing would.

AMEN.

I adore Lucy!

                                                          Happy birthday!


 

I wish I can live until 100, I know she's gone but her memory is very much alive. The legacy that she has left behind is so powerful that any age group is deeply in love with lucille ball! Her memorable face expressions, her fashion sense, and her powerful spirit is what we celebrate today! She was so fucking beautiful! I mean her eyes! Her hair!. She would never be forgotten i tell you that much. Today I've devoted my T.V time to Lucy because she deserves it so much. And let me just say that her and Desi are amazing! They most defiantly are the best couple in the history of television.

Lucy's success did not come in an instant. She was first a pinup girl (SEXY!) then an actress but her overnight success came when her iconic show "I love Lucy" premiered. She was a revolutionary because her show was the first show ever to show a pregnant women. We look at television today and think that T.V was always like that but it took time and Lucy was a part of the change in television.

Google is celebrating in style! They turned their iconic logo into an old fashion television that features episodes from "I love Lucy". This is by far my favorite google doodle yet!

Lucy died at the age of 77 in the year 1989 and in the year 2011 we all as a family celebrate her 100th birthday with laughter, smiles, and even tears.

Years and years later we can still say... I love Lucy!

You rock my world

Today is a day of sadness, Today 49 years ago Marilyn Monroe was found dead. The beauty queen that inspires us all even till today. She is a hand full of the people who still is famous even years after their deaths, She is so powerful and so very beautiful and just looking at her makes everyone feel beautiful and her eyes make everyone smile.


Forever she will be in our hearts because she left such a powerful legacy that no one in the whole entire world will take that away.




Rest in peace Marilyn

The future of the world

Everyone can never forget the morning of September 11th, 2001, it has shaped me to become a better person and so did it shape millions of others. We are getting closer to the 10th anniversary of the day we will never forget but whats been on my mind is the future of the world trade center. This whole month i've just been thinking of the disaster, watching videos,pictures, articles and also watching the progress of the freedom tower (One world trade center). On august 2nd i wanted to go visit the site and also cross the Brooklyn bride. To me it was sorta a spiritual experience, i felt in my heart it was something i had to do.


I watched so many videos of the disaster and had to just pay my respects. I was very young when it occurred but no matter how young i was i will never forget the morning of September 11th. I am so obsessed with the freedom tower, the design from the height to even the projection of the memory of all the lives that were lost that morning. It's such a beautiful building and the feeling that you get when you look at the size of this monster (And its only at the 78th floor) is amazing. I most definitely will visit the site and the bridge more but it was something about this day that made me feel so alive. Now the freedom tower is not called the "Freedom tower" its called "one world trade center" but i don't care because i felt a sense of freedom when i looked at the site. Once the tower is complete and it becomes one of the tallest towers in america all the lives will be set free because we show we are not afraid and all the beautiful people that died did not die in vain. 

AMEN.

The september issue!

The countdown is on!, Any day now we will get the chance to look at the cover of the 2011 issue of american Vogue! i am such a huge fan that everyday makes my heart beat faster knowing that can be the day i get to see who is featured on the cover.

Anger, The biggest regret

Now we are all human, We all cry and we all anger but what happened's when we say the things we regret when we anger?, do we lose a loved one? are we looked down upon?. Well maybe all those and even more can be a negative affect after you do or say something because you are angry. Let me just say that its good to hold things inside when you are angry because what you are expressing is not really true most of the times. For example, We have all argued with a parent or guardian in our lifetime and we all know that some of us even used the H word when we argued with them.... Yes the word "Hate"! but most of us do regret it. But that could have been prevented and that moment would have never happened but we let the anger get to us.


Now we try and try but never succeed and hats okay because we're not in control of our body's when we are angry, I mean some of us black out and go crazy!, First think we need to do is never blame ourselves for something we can't control and second we need to try our best to lot it it get to us.

Here are some tips that i think is the best way to not let your anger take over:

1. Walk away (Sounds easy but its not, It won't work the first time but keep trying)
2. Use alternatives (Write your feelings in a notebook, listen to music, read, Do things that keep you calm)
3. express yourself (Only after you stopped being angry, Tell the person how you feel without violence)
4. Become the bigger person (Your enemy hate's the fact you succeed in life, so show them)
5. Tell the person you forgive them or want to move on (If it's a friend, family member, Or any loved one)
6. Lock yourself somewhere and curse up a storm (Then walk out with a smile :) <3)

"Love who you are" Film

Here is the premiere of "Love who you are" which is a mini film in which i thought of today, I wanted to tell my side of me expressing my individuality, This film discusses me expressing myself and me finally taking charge of my own destiny, Its something i want everyone to do, I'm not only talking about my sexual orientation but i discuss my artistic liberation and finally not being afraid, But i still fear some things but then i tell myself..... Your a motherfucking rockstar. 

Here is "Love who you are":

FUCK YES!

First couple to marry
(Stan Honda/AFP/Getty Images) 

Today we made history, Today we made it to the next level for full equality, Same sex couples finally got married and finally got their rights! The first couple that was married in New York city was a lesbian couple,  Phyllis Siegel (rear) and Connie Kopelov (front). and one was 76 and the other was 84 years of age, They have been together for 23 years and they finally got their chance to say "I do". I feel the happiness in the air because we finally made it. We have so much more to go but this is such a huge step that its our time to celebrate as ONE. The blood and tears that our elders went through to get to this point is such an emotional image but also a very happy image because the ones who fought for this finally WON THE BATTLE.

So celebrate today because Same sex couples can finally wed in NEW YORK!

Forever.

I honestly don't know what to say, This is maybe the most difficult post that ive ever done, We lost her. I remember watching her on Vh1 when she was just starting out and what made me love her was her single "You know im no good" but what made my nipples hard was her fucking HAIR!. She has been my idol and she was the first person i could remember who i wanted to be just like, Now let's put the drug addiction and the hatred aside and let's live in her legacy. I never spoke that much about her because i only told my really close loved ones how much i adore her. I think i did that because she was so special to me.


Its hard to watch someone you love just fall apart and you cant do nothing about it. It may sound crazy because i  never knew her, But in reality i did. Her lyrics were personal and in her song "Rehab" she gives us a cry for help. We all listened but in reality we really didn't....


She fucking killed it when she released "Back to black". She took us all by storm, But i think "Frank" is also a tattoo in my heart. My super favorite song of hers is "Valerie".

It's horrible how the media attacked her and used her as inspiration for jokes, And i think that's sick. Her most recent performances were a disaster. She looked very sick and needed help. But NO! they kept pushing her and pushing her to keep preforming when it was so obvious that she just couldn't anymore. To me she had no friends because friends will never give another friend something that can end their life. Until the hour of her death she was NEVER a "Wasted talent". She was someone who cried for help in a battle that she had no control over, My heart is so heavy and thats all i can say. I can't express my emotions because its something personal in my eyes. She was my baby doll. She was my bee hive! she was the person who showed me whats the true meaning of evil. What i mean by that is that when she had FAME everyone wanted a piece of AMY but when she was in her darkest days nobody helped! and that's what EVIL is all about....


I miss her so much and i didn't need to know her to feel an emptiness inside because i know that was lost a GREAT one. She's in heaven fixing her hair and makeup and getting ready to perform for all the angels....... I hope they like R&B, SOUL, POP

See you on the other side AMY <3
