THE BLOODY BEETROOTS.

THIS WEEKEND, THE DAY AFTER MY B'DAY THE BLOODY BEETROOTS WERE PERFORMING IN PARADISO AT 5 DAYS OFF. I CRIED AND I CRIED AND I CRIED OUT LOUD THAT I COULDN'T BE THERE CUZ I DIDN'T HAVE TICKETS AND I CRIED HARDER THAT MY FRIEND A. DID GO. I AM GLAD FOR HER, DON'T GET ME WRONG BUT JUST RECONSIDER THE FACT THAT I WOULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE OR WOULD HAVE GAVE AWAY A PAIR OF J'S TO BE THERE INSTEAD OF CLEANING THE HOUSE AFTER MY PARTY, UH? WHAT A SELF PITY.

ANYWAYS.. ENOUGH ABOUT ME - LET'S FOCUS ON THE BLOODY BEETROOTS. THE ALTER EGO OF DJ AND PRODUCER SIR BOB CORNELIUS RIFO, ASSISTED BY HIS PARTNER IN CRIME DJ TOMMY TEA, THEY BRING YOU SOME NICE ELECTRO TO GET YOU TROUGH THE NIGHT. SIR BOB COMES FROM A SMALL PLACE OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH ALCOHOL CALLED BASSANO DEL GRAPPA BUT HIS MUSIC GOES WORLDWIDE. THE FORMATION STARTED IN 2007 AND THE MASKS WEARING BLOODY BEETROOTS WAS IMMEDIATELY HYPED BY BLOGS AND GAUGHT THE ATTETION OF ETIENNE DE CREDY AND ALEX GOPHER, WHO ASKED HIM TO DO SOME REMIXES. IN THE MEANTIME THERE ARE 50 OF THEM AND WE ARE ALL ABLE TO PLAY THEM ON AND ON.

I AM IN FOR ALL SORTS OF MUSIC - HIP HOP, R&B, RAP, DUBSTEP BUT THERE ARE ONLY FEW WHO WILL TURN MY IPOD CRAZEH AND THE BLOODY BEETROOTS ARE ONE OF THESE. I'LL PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME EYE AND EAR CANDY AND YOU MAY THANK ME LATER.

MY ABSOLUTE MAN PART 3.

IT IS TIME FOR MY ABSOLUTE MAN PART THREE. WHEN I FIRST DID THIS THINGY I SAID I WOULD DO IT EVERY MONTH, BUT WHO AM I KIDDING? ANYWAY.. ONE DAY I WAS BROWSING THE INTERNET AND I SAW THIS REALLY REALLLLY CUTE GUY ON THESE PHOTOS ABOVE, WITHOUT A NAME OR DISCRIPTION. I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO START SEARCHING WITHOUT ANY REFERENCES. JUST NOW I WAS BROWSING THRUE THE TUMBLR OF KODI AND SAW HIM AGAIN, NAMED AS YURI. WELL, I USED MY BEST FRIEND GOOGLE AND COULDN'T STOP DROWNING WHILE SEEING MORE PICTURES OF HIM. THERE IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THIS KID.

MEET MY FUTURE HUBBIE: YURI PLESKUN. BORN IN THE BRONX, THIS 19 YEAR OLD TATTED UP SKINNY BOY IS MAKING HIS WAY TO THE TOP. I LOVE ALMOST EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM, HAVE YOU NOTICED HIS BRIGHT BLUE/GREEN EYES, HIS BODY AND HIS TATS? IF NOT, TAKE A SECOND LOOK BELOW AND YOU MAY THANK ME LATER FOR THE EYE CANDY.


JUST FROM THIS VID ABOVE SHOT BY NYLON YOU CAN SEE HE'S PRETTY CHILL. ALL THE DUDE WANTS IS SOME CHICKENWINGS. SUCH A SHAME THAT THE ONLY THING I CAN MAKE WITHOUT THE HOUSE CATCHING ON FIRE IS AN EGG. CHECK MORE PICS OF MY FUTURE HUBBIE AT THE FASHION SPOT.

RIP ALEXANDER LEE MCQUEEN.

O MY GOD I'VE JUST HEARD ONE OF MY FAVORITE DESIGNERS ALEXANDER MCQUEEN COMMITTED SUICIDE..

ALEXANDERS MOTHER DIED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY NOW. IT IS A TRAGIC LOSS FOR THE FASHION INDUSTRY AND THE WORLD OF FASHION. EVERY LINE, SHOW AND SEASON FROM THE MAN WAS PURE EYE CANDY AND CREATIVITY TROUGH FABRIC. I DIDN'T ADORE EVERY SINGLE PIECE HE MADE, BUT I DID UNDERSTAND WHICH DIRECTION HE WAS GOING AND WHAT HE WANTED TO EXPRESS WITH THOSE PIECES AND I RESPECT THAT. WHERE MOST OF THE DESIGNERS PLAYED IT SAVE, HE TOOK RISKS.

HE MUST HAVE BEEN SUFFERING TERRIBLE GRIEF OVER HIS MOTHERS DEATH. MY CONDOLES TO HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES - AS WE HAVE ALL LOST A MUCH VALUED SOURCE OF CREATIVITY IN THIS WORLD. A TRUE ARTIST.

I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY WHERE YOU ARE NOW.
REST IN PEACE MR MCQUEEN.

LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP H&M.

I HATE THE H&M, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I LOVE IT. MOST OF THE TIME I REALLY LIKE THEIR CLOTHES, NOT ALL OF 'EM BUT TIME AT TIME THEY HAVE SOME THINGS I DIGG. BUT EVERY MOMENT I WANT TO BUY SOMETHING OVER THERE I HEAR A LITTLE VOICE TELLING ME THAT EVERYONE IS GONNA WALK IN THE SAME SHIT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE DAMN VOICE IS ALWAYS RIGHT. BUT MOST OF THE TIME I CAN'T HELP IT SO I BOUGHT SOME THINGS TODAY FROM THE SITE. THE SITE IS WAAAAAAAAY BETTER. I HATE THEIR STORES, IT IS ALWAYS SUCH A FUCKING MESS. THE LAST STORE I WANNA WORK OR SHOP IN IS THEIRS.

I'VE SEARCHED FOR A COAT EVERYWHERE BUT I CAN'T FIND ONE THAT IS WARM AND DOPE AT THE SAME TIME. I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS ONE. DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THAT WARM YET, BUT I'M GETTING HELLA CRAZEH OF SEARCHING EVERYWHERE SO IF THIS ONE ISN'T THE ONE THAN I'M GONNA RETURN IT AND STOP SEARCHING. I LOVE THE GLOVES THO.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE LOVE.

THIS DOESN'T NEED NO INTRODUCTION. JORDAN SPIZ'IKE GS MIAMI VICE - RELEASE MARCH 2010. THESE BABY'S WILL BE ON MY FEET, BETTER BE SOMEONE IS GONNA GET THEM FOR MY BDAY IN MARCH. DOESN'T MATTER, ELSEWAY I'M GONNA GET THEM MY SELF BUT I NEED 'EM! MUST COP.

MY ABSOLUTE MAN PART 2.

OKAY THIS IS GONNA COME EVERY MONTH: MY ABSOLUTE MAN. FIRST ONE WAS WITH THE ABSOLUTE LOVELY ASH STYMEST. I'M GONNA MAKE A LIST THIS TIME HAHA.

FIRST, WENTWORTH MILLER. OMGAD. HOTNESS. I DIDN'T MISS ONE EPISODE OF PRISON BREAK, I WAS OBSESSED! SO WAS MY DAD, BUT MORE WITH PRISONBREAK ITSELF, NOT WITH THE LEAD PLAYER HAHA. BUT COME ON, LOOK AT THOSE EYES..


I AM SORRY BUT I CAN'T HELP IT. ASH STYMEST HAS TO BE IS MY LIST.. HE JUST HAS IT. PRETTY/SKINNY/TATTOOS - I DIGG. BESIDES THE FACT THAT HE IS HAWT, HE IS ALSO A GOOD MODEL. AND I LIKE HIS HAIR HEHE.


AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, AND I KNOW THIS MIGHT SOUND CLICHÉ: CRISTIANO RONALDO. NO WAY THAT YOU THINK HE'S UGLY. OKE HIS SELF ASTEAM IS PRETTY BIG, BUT WE'RE TALKING HERE ABOUT THE LOOKS. AND DAMN HE HAS 'EM.

MY ABSOLUTE MAN?

SKINNY BOYS WITH TATTOOS, I LIKE. ASH STYMEST, I LIKE. A LOT OF MY FRIENDS GIVE ME THIS WEIRD FACE WHEN I SEE A GUY OR A MODEL I FIND CUTE. THE MOST OF 'EM LIKE TYPES LIKE CHRIS BROWN OR SUM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY SEE IN THEM AND DON'T SEE IN BOYS I DIGG. ANYWAY, SOME EYECANDY FROM AN OLDER EDITORIAL 'ABSOLUTE MAN', CELEBRATING BALMAIN'S FIRST HOMME COLLECTION. GIRLS, YOU MAY THANK ME LATER.
