Eyeliner & Bamboos

Admittedly I didn’t really care about 30 Seconds to Mars even if Kanye‘s on it because I didn’t know or care who Hurricanewas but keep seeing it everywhere. And everyone keeps saying it’s good, even comparing it to 808s and Heartbreaks. So let me step out of my box and check it out too.

…for you two.

I’m kinda picky so it shouldn’t shock you that I only like two pairs out of  Nicholas Kirkwood‘s Spring / Summer 2010 collection.

He mixes bright colors and exotic materials to create his one of a kind shoes. Almost all of his designs are centerpiece shoes, the accessory the completes and dominates a look. Even his more subtly hued shoes are eye catching in their unique form and design.

Doesn’t this seem like something you’d see on the Sci-Fi Channel? Can you believe it’s a boat? Using natural materials to blend the interior spaces with the superstructure and skylights to introduce natural light below deck, Foster + Partners designed the Panthalassa yacht, which launches today at Perini Navi’s boatyard in Viareggio, Italy. The 56-metre-long vessel is conceived as a luxurious and flexible yacht for charter.

To promote Karmaloop’s auctions, Kanye West and Karmaloop are auctioning off exclusive pieces signed by Kanye. You can bid on a 1-of-1 pair of Nike Air Yeezys, rare Loop Dreams T-Shirts, Glow in the Dark  and Thank You And You’re Welcome! books. I love me some Kanye and the items are cute and all but I wouldn’t waste my time bid if I was you. Why? The cost is gonna get way to high with all the crazy people in the world  for items that you probably won’t even be able to fit. But if that’s you’re kinda thing, have fun.

…on it and we’re in business. Not only does this car look awesome but the Honda FC (which stands for fuel cell) Sport runs on  hydrogen. Hellz yeah. Lol. I don’t know how much it’ll cost or when it’s coming out so don’t ask.

…or her music (yeah yeah, be shocked and call me a hater later) but I do feel like this deserves a little attention because it does bring up an interesting point.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, who also happens to be the wife of Prince Charles, has denounced Bey Bey’s “Videophone” video. She said it’s trying to trigger something negative in young people today:

The Duchess of Cornwall spoke for the first time yesterday, about the way youngsters are sexualised by explicit rap videos. Camilla was taking part in a discussion with victims of sexual violence during a visit to a rape crisis center when the topic turned to how music videos affect teenagers today. She told an audience of women that children thought they could get away with things because teachers failed to punish them.

Referring to the images children are exposed to, the Duchess said: ‘A lot of those videos are terrifying. ‘I am sure they trigger a response in some of the young people. I can never understand how they can get away with making those things.’ The Duchess has avoided speaking in public on social issues until now. Her stance has been in marked contrast to Charles’ first wife, Diana, Princess of Wales, who was renowned for the way in which she tackled controversial issues.

Yesterday, the Duchess made her concerns clear that youngsters are already becoming immune to such images of sex and violence. She said schools need to become involved in teaching both male and female schoolchildren ‘the value of respect for each other.’ During the discussions, the subject turned to a controversial video by pop singer Beyonce, who is particularly popular with young girls.

In the promotion for the single Video Phone, which also features the outlandish singer Lady Gaga, Beyonce provocatively dances in a series of increasingly skimpy outfits and holds a toy gun to the head of a bare-chested man who is hooded.

‘It has happened too quickly, values have changed so much,’ the Duchess said. ‘I suppose it’s peer pressure, that’s the problem. You don’t want to look like the odd one out.”

But it takes a strong person to show that they don’t approve, especially at that age. It’s a breakdown of discipline. There doesn’t seem to be any punishment for such behavior. The teachers are too kind.’

If you’re like me and haven’t even seen the video, check it out.

Actor and screenwriter, Tyler Perry, is being sued for copyright infringement of his film Diary of A Mad Black Woman.

Donna West claims that his production was a rip-off of a script she wrote titled Fantasy of a Black Woman. The script was turned into a free stage play based mainly on her life and performed in 1991. According to West, Tyler or someone else in his camp saw the play and stole her idea.

She testified in court saying that “I can’t put my play on because the stories are basically the same and nobody wants to see that again.”

Sounds a  little if-y to me but yeah..

I loved the Perspective Chair but the new one? Oh lawdy! Lol. The chair comes in four colors: white, black, blue and a pink one that won’t be avaliable until January. The Tank Chair will be on display at The Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery in Miami for Art Basel.
