Paying Homage to a Genius

An ode to the unforgettable Mr Lee Alexander McQueen.

  

Old School Days

My latest musical obsession? British rapper Master Shortie! I love his music, especially the one above (Bringing it back). The song is all about the "old school days", sixties/seventies/ eighties, and it inspired me to look up some vintage fashion editorials, ads, and covers. So without further ado, here they are!



 

 Seriously how gorgeous are these?!

PS: Also by Master Shortie, Dead End and Dance Like A White Boy <3

HAM

No not that ham... Ham as in Kanye West and Jay-Z's new song H.A.M. (Hard as a motherf*cker), the first single off of their combined album Watch the Throne. This song came out yesterday I think, 11/1/11, and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!!!! It's amazing incredible fantastic and epic! But as of right now nobody that I've sent it to agrees with me.. :( I still thinks it awesome though and so I made a H.A.M. inspired outfit to celebrate!

Get out of my life

So I don't know if this is valid for people living in other countries, but in Holland at least, there are two songs that are on the radio every fifteen minutes and ditto for tv. Not to mention all the people who are singing them all day long. Now both of these I actually really liked when they first came out (months ago!) but now my head is seriously about to explode. Here we have the dreaded two:

Taio Cruz- Dynamite

Bruno Mars- Just The Way You Are

Anyone agree with me?

Happy 2011!
