Justin Timberlake is Marrying Jessica Biel, yeah whatever.

Well, I have heard it through the Huffington Post so it must be real.

Mind you this is the guy who fake doinked (or did he?) Mila Kunis and dated in no particular order; Fergie, Britney Spears, Jenna Dewan, Alyssa Milano, and Cameron Diaz, when they were all hot and not tragic and looked like this.

Justin Timberlake is trading that…and this.

For this.

Marriage to Jessica Biehl who he proposed to in January 2012.

Doesn’t he look psychotically happy kittens? Seeing as he’s cheated on her 3-4 times I am sure this will go well.  Don’t you think so? I can’t wait for the media circus that will be their wedding.

Seriously I do wish them the best and good luck too.

Chances are, they may need it.

Madonna and Jean Paul Gaultier are Creating New Chaos Du Jour

Oh, I can hear all the gays in West Hollywood screaming with joy as I write this. Madonna, our diva, yoga queen, gay icon and on her off days, goddess, is deep in rehearsals for her new world tour.

Now this is enough to make everyone scream with terror and delight but the real news is the costumes, once again will be created by his holiness, Jean Paul Gaultier. Who, well, J’adore more than Dior.

Not only is he a design master but at her past concerts he brought this iconic outfit.

And more recently this hotness

Yes, this should make for a way hotter concert because JPG and Madonna work together in a perfect symbiosis.

I know I am not the first fashion/event blogger writing this, but I do have an edge. I just caught this tweet from @JPGaultier yesterday:

Yes! Jean Paul Gaultier posted the first exclusive pictures of Madonna’s fabulous, dragtastic crew doing rehearsals in the new costumes. And this diva bitch showed up.
Frankly I would pay to see this fan master whoop it up, but Madonna is a nice bonus. Note also the use of JPGaultier’s traditional Breton stripes on boobs up front. This look’s too good.
So I leave you fashionisto/a’s with this bit of Lady M and her new music. Are you going for the costumes or music? Oh, who cares.
Enjoy your ‘Girl Gone Wild’.

Deathrock Legends 45 Grave emerge for a night in LA, 5/19 at Bar Sinister!

I try and remain unbiased with this site and write mostly about things fashion related. Tonight I must deviate from the norm and lug an amazing band who have played music longer than I have been alive.

45 GRAVE

Front woman and head vox, Dinah Cancer and her most amazing band will be descending on Hollywood for one night. The reason this is more important then your average music news is two-fold. First, I have een them live and I was BEYOND impressed. I am an old, jaded music head who blew her hearing out at row 1, seat 1 of Aerosmith so this says that they really are beyond the average ‘great’.

Second, 45 Grave just came out with a new album ‘Pick Your Poison’. I was at the CD release party for this in January and it is fresh. ‘Pick Your Poison’ is akin to that up, loud party music more Misfits than ‘traditional’ death rock. It’s impressive, fucking fun and worth investing your hard-earned dollars in.

And tomorrow night 5/19 they will play the ENTIRE album.

Here’s the deal goth kittens and kats; the flyer I post below gives you $5 off at Club Bar Sinister at Boardners.

ImageThey are at 1652 N. Cherokee ave, Hollywood, CA 90036. Doors open at 10pm, dress to be goth appreciated. 45 Grave goes on at 12 midnight to accommodate all you little nocturne’s.

Best part? I will be there too. Okay not the best part, but it will be a great time and even better show. $10 at door if you don’t bring the flyer so PRINT IT OUT, even if it is teeny tiny.

See you there katatonic kittens!

Donna Summer, You were ‘Hot Stuff’ and will be missed

Well our sweet diva’s are heading to the big disco dance floor in the sky. No longer are we privy to the wonders of Donna Summer and her sweet voice.

According to the smear site known as TMZ, Miss Summer contracted cancer after 9/11 and believes the cancer was caused by toxic chemicals she inhaled from the incident.

Miss Summer passed at her hom in Florida with her family surrounding her.

Her family released a statement, saying Summer died on Thursday morning and that they ‘are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy’.

Say a fond farewell to our disco angel.

And enjoy one last dance

Before You Get Your Hippie Freak On White Boy, watch this….

I am in Santa Cruz by UCSC where more white boys from LA smoke weed and believe they are Rastafari than anywhere in the US.

Katy Perry is ‘goth’….oh WTF?

Not so recently, Katy Perry slit from Russell Brand. We know that it was ‘rough’ and ‘hard on her’, but this PR stunt queen is going a little too far.

Shedding her ‘latex cupcake’ image Katy Perry has recently shown up at the Kids Choice awards and the ‘ENT’ red carpet looking like she just listening to her first Marilyn Manson album.

What do we think? I’m just going to jump ahead a few weeks of gossip/fashion blogs and say;

NO ONE IS BUYING IT.

Katy Perry is a pop queen wrapped up in a slice of religion. She is what Disney would have gotten if they had a fetish for latex and Snoop Dogg. I adore Katy and her ‘California Girls’ cotton candy video and cotton candy hair. There is something impossibly right about that as her ‘image’.

Too much smokey eye on this girl and black screams ‘bad PR who should be fired’. It’s not interesting, it just got a goth/glitter gay make over at Glambert’s house.

I say quit trying to emote through your makeup. Bring back our little slice of pop queen and leave the goth/fetish look to the professional’s Katy.

Rihanna partners with Armani to create 2nd collection

Looks like the music industry can’t keep their hands out of fashion. Kanye dove in deep and now RiRi has launched her second collection collaborating with Armani. According to British Vogue;

Rihanna has teamed up with Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear to design another collection, imbued with her own boyish, dressed-down style.

Some of the sketches look like this

Although I greatly respect Rihanna as an artist I am not so sure about her heading too far in the world of fashion. Most of her really amazing costumes have been designed by the UK’s resident surrealist Gareth Pugh. I am 100% behind her creating a new hit single, but the thought of her designing underwear?

Thoughts? Give me a reason to believe, folks.

Blue Jeans – Lana Del Rey…….Fashionable, classic, enchanting

Blue Jeans – Lana Del Rey Official Video

Stuck in my head on repeat. Reminds me of Kate Bush’s voice, No? So perfectly pretty and ethereal.
Thoughts? Comments?

Mr. Black LA, ass less chaps optional

Hollywood is the land of dreams, nightmares and all surreal and plastic things coming to life. We are a land of living dolls and beauty queens. If you mix the VIP nightlife, add a dash of make up queen and some really good music you get Mr. Black LA.

I have to give endless amounts of props to Luke Nero. It’s his baby. He started it in NYC and made a seamless transition to LA. I am happy to say this is one of the only free clubs in Hollywood, is at the LUSH club Bardot, has an open vodka bar from 9:30-10:30pm (sorry it’s 21+ kids) and has waiters…in ass less chaps.

Why it took me this long to go I will never know, but thankfully my friend, and resident DJ Josh Peace got me to go. He is a king amongst men and his sets are professional, well mixed (how many DJs do not know what they fade slider is?!!) and he’s a great guy.

The crowd is a perfect mix of drag queens, make up queens, gays, straights, rockers, Lenora Claire, Luke Nero, art geeks and the just plain normal. For this reason I got fabulously dressed up in my Adolfo Sanchez spike hat, my Toxic Vision Corset and the biggest heels I could find.

During my night I got compliments, picked up and twirled by a gorgeous 20 something, flirted with by boys, girls and talked to a completely interesting and diverse crowd of club goers.

When I had to leave early, the dance floor was packed and  it was difficult to get out the door.  I said a sad goodbye to Josh Peace who was playing and amazing set and was in the ‘DJ Zone’. we said a sad good-bye to the nice ass less waiter with mickey mouse ears and headed out for the walk home. (Don’t drink and drive please)

Will I go back? Absolutely. Tuesday nights are now reserved. If you want to find me I will be dancing the night away at Mr. Black’s LA at Bardot in Hollywood. Luke Nero has created the perfect club to get your freaky geek on. No matter what you are looking for it’s there. Just be careful what you ask for. You will definitely get it.

Mr. Black LA is every Tuesday, 21+ at Bardot (btwn Hollywood Blvd/Yucca on Vine St.)
