Wonder Girls "Nobody"

I love K-pop. Living in Koreatown I am subjected to the sights and sounds of the K-pop phenomenon. When I get my nails done at the salon inside the Korean mall, my eyes are glued to the K-pop variety shows on TV where I can get my fix of groups like Skarf, Girls Generation, Super Junior and countless others. (The korean girls who work in the salon inform me on the culture of K-pop and how there's countless bands, and that the competition is insane because of new bands always coming out, and how k-pop hopefuls get plastic surgery at a young age just in hopes to get the right "look" to be in a k-pop band.) There are big Psy billboards all over town promoting soju, and endless korean karaoke bars blaring k-pop songs and videos at any given time of day.

Oh but could you only imagine how my heart skipped a beat when I found these photos of K-pop group Wonder Girls all perfectly modded up? They are truly amazing! The ladies of Wonder Girls put on 60's personas for their 2008 hit single, "Nobody". The styling (and the hair! Absolutely loving the hair!) is on target and the photos look like they could have come straight from a 1960's photoshoot. Well done Wonder Girls!

Bryan Ferry at The Greek Theater

Bryan Ferry at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles October 15th 2011 5th row center seats. I had an utter blast at the concert! Bryan played a great assortment of new stuff, older solo stuff, covers and Roxy Music tunes. I have to say my favorite numbers were Slave to Love, Don't Stop the Dance, Casanova (I was surprised he played Casanova, it was the only song he played from Country Life) and If There Is Something.

Bryan's persona and performance was everything I imagined it to be! It was the highest degree of glamour I have seen in a performance. The whole show was exploding with style from his sexy back-up dancers and singers to Bryan's amazingly talented and hot saxophone player who T left the concert with a little crush on.

Here are the pictures and videos I was able to take at the show inbetween all my crying, dancing, singing and shouting at the top of my lungs; "I LOVE YOU BRYAAAAAAAN!!"

Bryan performed Slave to Love right after he performed Don't Stop The Dance. It was a double header of awesome!

If There is Something with an outstanding solo by saxophonist Jorja Chalmers. Sorry for the shaky hand. It was a little difficult singing, dancing and recording.

Till we meet again Mr. Ferry!

The man, the myth, the legend - Bryan Ferry!

In less than 24 hours my life will completely change FOREVER! And my small, simple little world will ever be the same. For I, will be seeing Bryan Ferry up close & personal from third row seats at The Greek theater. Expect greatness!

My obsession with my gentleman of the manor Mr. Ferry, has been around for years. But only lately has it exploded into full blown hysteria. I mean what woman wouldn't fall completely hypnotized by his gravitational pull? Women young and old, (he is know to now at age 66, date woman half his age - or more) have succumb to his sex appeal, talent, elegance, and "it" factor that has allowed Mr. Ferry to a career 40 years old.

A little bit about the man of honor, Bryan Ferry was on September 26, 1945 Washington, County Durham UK. Growing up he should great promise in both acting and music. In 1971 Ferry formed the infamous band Roxy Music with members Andy Mackay, Brian Eno, Graham Simpson, Phil Mazanera and Paul Thompson. Ferry and Roxy Music put out many highly acclaimed albums (Country Life being my personal favorite) until 1982's Avalon, where after extensive touring he decided to go solo. Bryan has had a very successful solo career and is currently on tour with his latest album Olympia.

What I love about Bryan (besides his tremendous musical talent) is his personal style. No one in my opinion comes close to his dapper, sensual, elegant persona. Ferry has collaborated for many years with fashion designer Antony Price for image consultations , styling and clothing. Bryans love for art, style and glamour is evident in his fashionable suits, imagery on albums, music and attitude. British Interior designer and socailite, Nicholas Haslam, has been quoted saying about Bryan Ferry "he is more likely to redecorate a hotel room than to trash it". And for that Mr. Ferry- we salute you!

ADULT. & other works by Nicola Kuperus Pt. 2

So many beautiful photographs from photographer/musician Nicola Kuperus that I couldn't just do one post now could I?

Do you think living in Detroit had influenced her on often photographing her subjects with cars? I adore how her deathly subjects coordinate perfect with the vintage automobiles.

Enjoy.

ADULT. & other works by Nicola Kuperus Pt. 1

If you aren't familiar with this extraordinary talented woman, Nicola Kuperus, then please take this time to be acquainted with her magnificent photography & musical work.

As one half of the husband/wife Detroit duo ADULT., Nicole and her husband Adam Lee Miller, have been creating dark, synth filled, electronica music since 1998 with the release of their first EP Modern Romantics . ADULT. has released 4 albums between 1998-2007 and Kuperus & Miller started the Detroit record label known as Ersatz Audio. (RIP Ersatz Audio)

What you may not have already know is that Nicola is the incredible photographer responsible for all of ADULT. 's album work. She has a way of bringing elegant & sinister scenes to life (or death should I say because of the subjects in her photographs). I have always been a huge fan of Nicola's music and her artwork is no exception!

This last picture and name of album, Why Bother?, pretty much sums up how I usually feel.
