GUIDE: POSE LIKE A MODEL THIS CHRISTMAS!!

16 Nov

I think it’s eeeeeeessential that we know how to pose… Tis’ the season to sparkle and we are going to see more camera’s in our face than Kerry Katona after her newspaper headliner exposing her drug abuse!! LOOOOL!

So to always look great in pictures I thought i could cover some basic tips on how to look taller, slimmer and more glamorous in your images.


I think the hands on the hips is EVERYBODY’s first pose courteously of Beyoncé… whether we are at a  photoshoot, Getting street style snapped or we are on a night out.. it just feels so natural to pose like a DIVA.

Like Tyra shows (minus the ponytail… i beg of you) make sure there is leeeength in your neck, this can also give you that ‘model’ height and prevent you from having no neck syndrome!!

GOSSIP: PARIS HILTONS NEW MUSCLES?.. OR IS IT JUST?… YOU DECIDE!!

9 Feb

Paris Hilton’s new… Muscle?

*please vote*

Photo taken from More Magazine – Issue 682

BAT…WINGS…

yup.. that’s the word i was going for. Sorry paris. But that IS bat wings.

Paris was featured in my fav’ weekly fashion mags More Magazine and Look Magazine where they gasssped at her new muscles.

I SEE NO MUSCLE… WHAT BLADDY MUSCLE!!

Paris has simply put on a bit of  weight *shrugs*.. we can all see it in her face and i must admit its nice to see her look healthy. Apparently it is due to a new fitness regime.. but the real mystery Q is why has La’s leading ‘lollipop celeb’ decided to run from the stick think look and take a turn to the  criticised ‘rachel zoe‘ look?

Victoria Beckham ‘turns down Spice Girls Olympic reunion’ | Metro.co.uk.

If you want me to be honest.. I don’t blame Victoria. I mean, she has worked so hard to build up what she has now! It’s a new year, and we are all focusing on working on our strengths! She has come a long way.. And let’s face it. Hearing her sing is like watching paint dry… Quietly LOL!!
*screams* VICTORIA.. YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR PATH… FOLLOW IT & DON’T LOOK BAAAACK!!

Here are some of the items from Victoria’s recent fashion show, displaying a ‘breathe of fresh air in her ‘chic’ 2011 spring summer Collection;

P.S. JAMELIA.. PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE ME YOUR GORGEOUS LEGS!!! *PHWOAAR*

8 Dec

I haaaad to post this up randomly as i am a member of #teamrebel (part of Jamelias support group on twitter). I love Jamelia (ESPECIALLY IN THAT STUNNING DRESS). She comes across as such a down to earth girl.

Name: Jamelia Niela Davis

Job: Singer, Songwriter, Model, Entertainer, Actress and television presenter *go girl*

Website: www.jamelia.com

twitter: @jameliatweeties

I loved watching Jamelia on the documentary where she was researching to find where and who the hair weave she used had come from . Which to be honest is so interesting to me because so many of us freely go and buy hair weave in the shops and not think twice about where the hair REALLY comes from.

But apart from that including her lovely, warm, strong character and her beautiful voice.. she is on my list of TOP 10 Legs i would steal in a heartbeat… She deserves to be featured!!

Go on GIRL… SHOW’EM LONG LEGS OOOOWWFF!!

CHERYL COLE X FACTOR *PAARRP* VIDEO

15 Nov

LOOOL.. as if you thought it couldn’t get any worse for Cheryl.. After she GRINS with PRIDE in her new ‘BOOB’ Hairstyle (which everyone is calling ‘minnie mouse *my arse*).. she PARPS on NATIONAL TELEVISION!!..

DON’T LET THE GORGEOUS STYLING FOOL YOU… SHE’S STILL A CHAV’ AT HEART!

(although I still love her!!)

THEY CHER’ A HELL OF A LOT!!

14 Nov

OK…  After X Factor Cher Lloyd’s performance.. I was definitely impressed! Her new ‘Snog, Marry and Avoid’ Make over has definitely put her in my hottest girls list!!

But I could help but notice… is it me… or.. are you seeing double?

Cheryl’s category hairstyles have slowly been turning into the deep red which she dramatically took on after a few weeks of the show.. and Cher Lloyd has finally joint the movement which has now finally put the icing on the cake to makin her into Cheryl’s mini-me.

I have to give HUGE props to one of my stylist icons ‘Grace Goodward’ for doing such a good job with the X Factor finalist outfits.. this is THEEE BEST X Factor styling EVER!! And I think majority of viewers wait in anticipation to see what the contestants are going to perform in.. and without a doubt my breath is ALWAYS taken AWAY! Cher Lloyd looked HOT!! *sizzle noise*
