But for now, let's take a closer look at the week that has just come to a close...
Quote
"Well the music was rubbish. Well these are the days of bands like S Club 7 and the Spice Girls. I mean they are great for what they were but for someone who read a lot of books and engaged in conversation with people quite a lot, I felt if I'm going to be a pop star I want to be a real pop star and I want to say real things."
~Lily Allen, on her irritation with the pop culture of the 1990s-early 2000s.
What do you think? Do you think Lily's music is any different? Do you think Lily accomplishes her mission of saying 'real things'? As far as I'm concerned, the jury's still out on that one...
Wardrobe Envy
Kate Hudson in New York, filming Something Borrowed.I know it's a film costume, but that doesn't make it any less wonderful. A gorgeous alternative to walking around in just a bikini whilst on the beach (unless it's really hot, in which case, ocean here I come!).
Music
Danish alternative rock duo The Raveonettes dropped their fourth studio album, In and Out of Control, late last year, but I just had to feature it, having heard some of the mesmorising tracks just yesterday. "[Control is about] not giving a shit what other people think of you and most importantly being mad and angelic," says one half of the duo, Sune Rose Wagner. Listen to: Heart of Stone.News

Angela LindvallIn a mix of summer fun and eco awareness, Muse magazine chose to feature three green-friendly supermodels on their #22 cover: Gisele Bündchen, Angela Lindvall, and Isabeli Fontana. Each model has done her part to help save the world: from a position as the UN Environmental Ambassador to composting to recycling and sustainable farming. Muse plays with a combination of high fashion editorials and collages for their covers - incorporating the requisite summer beach shots with black and white imagery and cut-and-paste elements.

isabeli is so ridiculousy hot on her Muse cover, gosh! i love how they're using their power to influence others to be green, it's really lovely :) that last photo is absolutely stunning! junk food is addictive although i really hope you don't get sick :) take care ♥
Oh, Lily..really, I liked her for a while..and then she's been kind of lame as of late.
So did you start another job?
I just got back from a concert. Adam Lambert. But Orianthia (I think that's how its spelled) was one of the opening acts. She's really good with that guitar.. I do have her cd.
Ummmm, SClub7 and the Spice Girls were AWESOME -- I still listen to SClub all the time, so I don't know what Lily is talking about! And Kate Hudson always looks so gorgeous.

Something Borrowed? No way. No way. No way! I'm going to IMDb right now.
And Lily, well she's different, but only in the way that she sings about her boyfriend not pleasing her in bed in a catchy and hilarious way.
Chic on the Cheap
your header photo is beautiful ! xxxx
Adam Lambert's glam tour delievers for the most part. But I was kind of far away. He belted it out and he is a performer. I was invited and it was free for me from a friend, who loves him too. I like Ali Aru (whatever)..she opened first (she was on American Idol the same time he was)..but I kind of felt bad for her..she was all in black practically..she started singing behind the stage...stayed on..maybe 20 minutes and took off before her last song even stopped. She's so skinny. Then Orianthi (who I think is from your neck of the woods) played all these different guitars. She was excellent. It was outdoors near the river and so muggy and hot. At least it didn't storm.
Good luck with the waitress stuff. Definitely, keeps you on your feet. I've never had horrid experience, exactly..although, a gay guy showed me his bum once and told me that was his tip.
Kate always inspires me, she's simply amazing, on film & otherwise!
