"Gold is cold
Diamonds are dead
Limousine is a car
Don't pretend
Feel what's real

J'adore"

Listening to...

I still have the sun!

Helloooo!

What a great day! Whole family together by the pool, having the best time and enjoying the sun.

Yes, that's amazing and could be even better hadn't I forgotten my backpack with all (basically) my stuff. Really, I can be so stupid sometimes... anyways...my book and other essencial objects were there. Thank God I was smart enough to put my cellphone inside my purse or else I'd be dead by now. The only problem is that my charger was in the backpack, too. That means when I finish posting this massage and listening to my GREAT playlist...bye bye technology!

I'll try to forget that, too!

FUR : No Influence on me!!!

Hello!!

So long no see ya!

So...I was browsing through the web and learned Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were autographing their new book "Influence" on Barnes & Noble yesterday.

The only problem is that some PETA buddies paid a visit as well...and they weren't there to say hi, but to show a few boards with very friendly adjectives.

It's no secret that the Olsen twins love their fur coats and aren't afraid of showing, but do PETA really need to go out there offending everyone who make different choices in life?

Don't get me wrong! I'm not saying you should go get yourself a mink, I just think these people who are wearing these coats know what happen to the animals...if they wanna do it, that's ok! We are not the ones who won't be able to sleep at night.

But the Olsens aren't the only ones hunting little animals to make themselves warm or fashionable.

Here's a list of other celebs who also wear fur:

• Naomi Campbell
• Kate Moss
• Lindsay Lohan
• Beyoncé

And, unfortunately, the list goes on.

When I get to Warwick Avenue...

I was reading my friend's blog and suddenly a mix of poetry and sadness got me... It reminded me of Duffy's "Warwick avenue" and love with its highs and lows. I believe all of you have been through times when everything seemed to go wrong and you felt alone and had nowhere to go...

It takes more than a few hours for these feelings to go away...they can eat you up if you decide to surrender. My advice: Cry if you have to cry,even if you have no obvious reason to and after that bad feeling is gone just open your eyes and see that there's too much beauty to drown in negativity.

Reach out for your friends,family,pet or even that song that you love... The sun is outside waiting for you...

just gettin' it out of my chest...

'Til next time!

A piece of the VMA

No, I can't just ignore what happened yesterday!!!!

Did you see that? Britney didn't perform, a British host, Aguilera and more 5 pounds using playback dressed as...who else... Britney!!

That was fun! Take a look at this:

So...I was watching last night's VMAs and there she was-dressed in Versace and wearing Jimmy Choos-to open the show.

Then it was time for Jamie Foxx to go onstage and present "Best female video" and when he opens the envelope...The winner is Britney Spears!!! Wow! what was that? Britney is been there for 10 years and has been nominated 16 times, then she decides to take a break from the music( but not from the spotlight) and after a rocky year she comes LOOKING GORGEOUS to win her first ( second AND third moon man).

That's what I call a comeback!

British comedian Russell Brand also kicked asses (Bush's specially),The Jonas Brothers were also some of his victims.

Shows worth seeing: Paramore at (virtual) Whisky a go go, Pink performing "So what?", Kid Rock's "All summer long" and Rihanna's "Disturbia".

Am I forgetting someone??? I don't think so.

Performances to forget:

Katy Perry's "Like a virgin" Was that all??? I love Katy Perry,but I was expecting something bigger,better.

Christina Aguilera's "Keep gettin' better" ...Well...No,it doesn't!!!!

That's all folks! More VMA in 2009!!!

Quoting Chanel:

Mademoiselle Chanel

"A girl should be two things: classy & fabulous."

" I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny. "

"A woman has the age she deserves. "

"Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury. "

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. "

Nice Blogs!

Hello everyone!!!

After a crazy week, back to work (after my amazing vacations )and also back to college: I'm home!

I'm here to talk to you about my blog list -->yep!this one on your right!

I bet you noticed that they are kinda different from each other...if you didn't, take a look at it now...Vitrolando is a brazilian blog written by a great friend of mine who's always in touch with everyone in the music business, from Britney Spears to Katy Perry. CHIC!!!

On the other hand, the brats from Clube dos Pentelhos(also brazilian) aren't afraid of speaking their minds and talking dirty whether discussing a national problem(and it's possible solutions) or telling jokes!

We also count on singer Lily Allen to talk about her life in the public eye, her album,her puppy and even her new hair color...With humor she gives us a piece of her mind!

Follow My Heels couldn't stay out of the MySpace fever...That's why I'm adding Lindsay Lohan's and Paris Hilton's blogs to my list...(cuz we just can't be away from Hollywood.
And as Madonna would say: How can it hurt you when it looks so good?)

Today I also added Kiefer Sutherland's MySpace Celebrity page.Very interesting place to know Ironworks (a recording label created by Kiefer and his friend Jude Cole) and it's bands (the most famous one is Rocco de Luca and The Burden). For those who,like me, are 24natics the actor's page is a nice place to get to know his work and a bit of his life...

I couldn't forget about I am Fashion,you know?! what would I do without this blog??? Love HG's and BG's trends and adventures in the fashion world!They rock!

Well... I'll keep checking for more cool blogs!

If you know one and would like to share it, please be my guest!!!!

Hope you enjoy My blog List and let me know what you think!!!

PREMIERE: Mirrors

Hey everyone!!

Are you one of those people who spend,like,15 minutes in front of the mirror?? Well...not anymore!

I'm back to talk about a thriller that's gonna make you want to get out of your house without even checking if your outfit is looking fabulous.

Mirrors will be out on August 15th and it has Kiefer Sutherland(Ben Carson) and Amy Smart(Angela Carson) as part of the cast.

Check the trailer here:

They Did it again!!!

It happened again,a pretty baby and his(her) smiling parents on the cover of a weekly magazine...well,except that now there are 2 fabulous newborns.

This week's issue of People magazine has 19 pages and a amazing cover with the most famous and beautiful family in the US: The Jolie-Pitts!

A few years ago Angelina would be in the news for her crazy(if not bizarre) behavior, but since the adoption of Maddox in 2002,she's been making headlines for her role as a great and responsable mother.

In 2005, Angie went to Ethiopia and adopted Zahara Marley and in 2006 Jolie gave birth to Shiloh Nouvel...(take a breath 'cause it didn't stop)...in 2007 the Jolie-Pitts welcomed Vietnamese boy Pax Thien.

And in July 2008, less than a month ago, Angelina gave birth to twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon...the sweet babies you see on the picture above.

Dying to know more about the newborns?Don't worry! You wont miss them.

Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent/Two-Face

Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth

Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes

and last, but not least Heath Ledger as The Joker(photo)

Ledger's part in the movie is full of mistery,not only because this was his last finished work(Heath died on January 22 due to an accidental overdose of prescription drugs), but also because

a former Joker,Jack Nicholson (who played the part in 1989) said he warned Ledger about Ambien(prescription sleep aid) and how physically and mentally stressful playing the character could be, adding that he almost drove off a cliff once.

What are U waiting for? Buy your tickets today!

She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson, on June 1,1926 in Los Angeles(CA), to Gladys Baker.
As the identity of her father was unknown she was later baptized Norma Jeane Baker.
Norma spent most of her childhood in foster homes and orphanages until 1937,when she found a family to live with.

From 1937 to 1942, she lived with a family friend whose husband was transferred to the East Coast, they couldn't afford taking Norma Jeane so she had to decide between a foster home and marriage.

She married neighbor Jimmy Doherty on June 19,1942. After 2 years of happiness, Jimmy joined the Merchant Marines and was sent to South Pacific and Norma got a job at the Radio Plane Munitions factory in Burbank(CA).
It was there that she first met photographer David Conovar, who used her for a shoot for Yank Magazine and then began sending her modeling jobs.

She was every "photographer's dream"

In 1946, Jimmy returned and, having to choose between him and her career, she divorced him and signed a contract with Twentieth Century Fox on August 26,1946.

She dyed her hair blonde and changed her name to Marilyn Monroe (her granny's last name).
Her first movie role was in '47's "The shocking miss Pilgrim" and her most influencial and important roles were in "All about Eve","Let's make it legal" and "Monkey Business",but she was delivered to stardom in 1953's "Niagara"(where she plays a wife who plots to kill her older husband).

Following "Niagara" were "Gentlemen prefer blondes" and "How to marry a millionaire".
On January 14,1954 she married baseball player Joe DiMaggio at San Francisco's City Hall, during their honeymoon Marilyn performed for the troops in Korea.

Nine months after the wedding, they divorced , but remained close friends.

By 1955,she moved to NYC to study with Lee Strasberg and one year later she started her own motion picture company Marilyn Monroe Productions.She won a Golden Globe for best actress in comedy for 1959's "Some like it hot".

Her third marriage was to playwright Arthur Miller on June 19,1956.Arthur wrote the part of Roslyn Taber in 1961's "The Misfits" especially for her. Unfortunately, their marriage ended on January 20, 1961.
"The Misfits" was Marilyn's last finished film.
At the 1962 Golden Globes, Marilyn was named female World Film Favorite.

But on August 5,1962, she was found dead at the age of 36,in her Brentwood(CA) home.
Her body was laid to rest on August 8,1962 in the Corridor of Memories,24, at the Westwood Memorial Park, in L.A.
