Hmmmm…..
I’m sure they are all quaking in their boots Lilly.
Lily Allen has been forced to close her vintage clothing shop Lucy In Disguise just ten months after its star-studded opening.
Lily, 26, and her half-sister Sarah Owen, 31, had their foray into retail documented in Channel 4’s From Riches To Rags.
In the programme, TV fashion guru Mary Portas voiced her fears that the pair’s concept of renting out designer vintage clothing was flawed. Continue Reading….
When I first heard that Lilly and her sister were going to open a clothes store and then watched the documentary I knew it would crash and burn. Lilly didn’t seem that business savvy and her sister Sarah just came across as being a bit flighty and unpredictable, and was obviously suffering from a cold because she just kept sniffing throughout the entire documentary.
Anyway who was going to hire vintage clothing to wear? If people want vintage clothing they can just go to charity shops in the affluent parts of South West London, West London and North London. You will find a ton of vintage clothing in those shops and the REALLY good stuff too.
The Daily Mail reports that model turned successful TV Chef Lorraine Pascale has replaced Jamie Oliver as the new face of supermarket giant Sainsbury’s.
Sneakbo and Jetski Wave have linked up with Quason Matthews to bring you a new online show. Sneakbo is looking for the best up and coming models in the country to be part of his exclusive group ”The Jetski Models” – The girls have one week to complete several tasks and survive the elimination stages to become the best. This show will maximize the girls exposure and open new doors for them in the modelling industry. We’re looking for girls with big personalities and a hunger to win. Get involved by e-mailing a photo of yourself with your name and age to: Jetskimodels@Gmail.com – you must be 18 years of age or older. Closing Date: 25th July. Have you got what it takes?
This show will maximize the girls exposure and open new doors for them in the modelling industry.
Yeah of course it will.
So will this online vehicle open new doors for them in high fashion, glamour modelling (Nuts Magazine) or a lead role in a Sneakbo music videos?
We’re looking for girls with big personalities and a hunger to win.
A hunger to win what exactly? Is the prize really only to become a ‘Jetski Model’ nothing else???
There’s something about this project that just doesn’t sit right with me. I hope that the young women who express an interest in taking part in this show have enough sense to ask important questions first and make an informed decision before jumping on board feet first.
Rapper 50 Cent announced on Twitter today that he wants to feed a 1 billion people in Africa.
I want to impact peoples lives more. I created a new goal for my self, I want to feed a billion people in africa over the next 5 years.— (@50cent) July 16, 2011
In response to his tweet fellow blogger London Diva said this
@50cent showing his ignorance yet again. He wants to feed 1billion people in Africa, their population is just over 1billion. Who said the whole of Africa was hungry?
I’m surprised Hip Hop “intellectual” Talib Kweli (who enthusiastically applauded Fiddy on his pledge to feed Africa) failed to point this out to him.
Anyway I wish Fiddy the best of luck in his quest to become the black Bob Geldof.
Several days ago UK artist Skepta announced on Twitter that his new single Dare To Dream had been passed on to Eminem.
Just got a f*%king CRAZY email. I don't know if I should be angry or privileged. This explains why the f*%k YouTube took 'Dare To Dream' off— (@Skepta) July 14, 2011
Jimmy Iovine Interscope heard my new single 'Dare To Dream' and decided he wanted to sign it for Eminem hence Universal takin it off YouTube— (@Skepta) July 14, 2011
I overly love the song but at the same time I do understand Eminem together with the 'Dare To Dream' chorus will be absolutely f*%king CRAZY— (@Skepta) July 14, 2011
Being in an industry where money talks, everybody involved in the 'Dare To Dream' project came to a conclusion to sign it to Interscope..— (@Skepta) July 14, 2011
So if you've already radio ripped my version of 'Dare To Dream' this will be the first time I say "WELL DONE" };) A new single coming soon..— (@Skepta) July 14, 2011
……….
First off I don’t like that cretin Jimmy Iovine. I know what your about, I got your number sir!
Secondly it sounds like Skepta didn’t really want to hand over his new single, which was already receiving some radio play in the UK. It also sounds like Universal removed the single from YouTube without even informing him first, and he was bamboozled and hood winked in to agreeing to hand over the single to Iovine and Eminem.
Iovine and Eminem come knocking and people get ready to sell their souls and their briefs.
Anyway I hope Skepta and crew were paid handsomely for handing over Dare To Dream.
Check out his version below.
……………………………………….
I actually like the single. Skepta should have held on to it (that’s if he had a choice).
And why not release a UK version giving Skepta the opportunity to appear alongside Eminem on the track?
And Skepta you shouldn’t feel privileged, you should be furious. Acknowledge what’s really happened here.
