| Rock Out With Your Shark Out! Rita Ora |
Cut to the CW Network dropping America's Next Top Model from it's line-up and VH-1 picking it up. They do a major overhaul of the show which includes retiring Tyra Banks as the host and bringing in, drum roll please....Rita Ora.
I must say Rita is the breath of fresh make-up the show needed to put a strut back in it's catwalk. Not to mention I have learned more about who she is, and she is an interesting individual.
When I spied this photo of her out and about in London with a knitted shark sweater on, I just had to post it, the whole outfit pops to me and so does the woman wearing it.
Soooooooooo stylish she is....
If you haven't caught the latest incarnation of ANTM check it, don't wreck it on VH-1 and catch lovely Rita and the rest of the people in model-ville.

Ver-sayce: Bringing Strange Bedfellows Together
 |
| Coincidence Or Conspiracy? Naomi Campbell, Bradley Cooper & Jennifer Garner |
When I first saw this image of one of the more off beat trios you could ever imagine at the Versace fashion show in London my mind first wandered to Ver-sayce.
"Yes" I am a HUGE Showgirls fan. I have seen that film more than twenty times, thus every time I see the Versace name I always go there, and have myself a juvenile giggle.
OK so back to the strange bedfellows thing. Who but Vers-sayce could bring together Naomi Campbell, Bradley Cooper & Jennifer Garner socializing in a three way conversation?! Also a piece of trivia, three peoples names who do not get spell checked either, now that's something unique! I smell a conspiracy theory brewing...
After the 4th of July madness, descending or otherwise, it's time to be amused at the random mystery of life.
P.S. You can always leave your hat on.

Back In Time: Lindsay Lohan
 |
| Memories Lindsay Lohan |
Since it's always manic on Monday I thought I would share a Sunday fun day nostalgic blast from the past. I present to you Lindsay Lohan visiting her London home from the Disney classic film The Parent Trap.
For the uninitiated Lindsay had game playing twins Hallie Parker and Annie James. Hallie lived in Napa, CA., with her father Nick Parker (Dennis Quaid). Annie resided with her mom Elizabeth James (the late Natasha Richardson) in London.
Yes, two adorable little Lindsay's in one crowd pleasing movie. She did what is all the rage these days and took to her Instagram and posted said photo with the caption:
Awwwwwwwwwwww...Happy Monday and have a Terrific Week!

Raph Solo "Good Morning London"
 |
| Modeling The British Flag Raph Solo |
RAPH SOLO RELEASES LOVE LETTER TO HIS HOME CITY, “GOOD MORNING LONDON”
The second single from his album, THE ANONYMOUS ICON, out now
Raph Solo’s “Good Morning London,” the second single off of his new album, THE ANONYMOUS ICON, is a love letter to the city he calls home. “The song is about being yourself, no matter what they say,” says Solo. “Good Morning London” is available on iTunes today, along with his full-length studio album, THE ANONYMOUS ICON.
“It’s a metaphorical breakup song about finding your way home,” continues Solo of his sultry new single. “As a songwriter, I never sit down to write a song. It’s an organic process. When I feel inspired, the melody and the lyrics come out together as one.”
With a hit dance record under his belt, it’s intuitive that Solo never stops moving—not even to write a tender pop ballad. “I remember writing the song on the street, walking from my ex’s flat to my friend’s flat. My ex and I were living together at the time, and things had gotten so bad that I called up a friend to ask if I could stay over for a few nights until I found a new place to stay.”
Solo credits “Good Morning London” as one of the quickest songs he’s ever written in his career as a songwriter, while walking down the streets of London, no less. Nonchalantly, he says, “I wrote it in three minutes.”
Solo reunites with video director David Brant on the “Good Morning London” music video. “It was really nice to be asked to work with Raph again, for what is now our third music video together,” says Brant. “Raph always has a strong idea of what he wants up front. Visually, we're both into that quirky, surreal, cinematic, and epic look. We just have a similar aesthetic that seems to set the mood perfectly against his music.”
Good Morning London
olo likens baring his chiseled body on the set of “Good Morning London” to baring his soul as an artist. As the track hits full stride, Solo is seen with a big British flag wrapped around his otherwise-naked torso in a scene that’s become synonymous with the singer-producer’s mantra of authenticity and self-acceptance. Solo salutes a new day and a new chapter in his life, he says, with the words “Be you” scrawled on his back, and a bruised eye.
“Often we lose ourselves in relationships, and we end up saying ‘yes’ to please our partners because we love them, when really we want to say ‘no’,” Solo explains. “And sweetness gets taken for weakness, and the fairytale turns into a nightmare.”
“We should always remember to love and honor ourselves enough to stay true to who we are in relationships, romantic or otherwise.” The bruised eye, he says, is symbolic of the price he had to pay to learn that lesson the hard way.
The song’s standout lyrics, “City life is no piece of cake // that you can have with your cup of tea on your morning break,” speak to Solo’s state of mind and the vivacity of the city he loves. Today, he stands tall as a gay man and outspoken advocate for human rights, and he can have his cake and eat it, too.
Inspired by up-tempo 80’s pop and contemporaries like Burt Bacharach and Marvin Hamlisch, the combination of Solo's vocals, Alex Pacali's sweeping riffs, and David Brant's hypnotic stroke of the keys leaves listeners spellbound. His third record sees the full realization of Solo’s signature timbre, layered with new refinement with every passing year and release, akin to the evolution of any true pop powerhouse. Solo colors his second single with a burst of falsettos, putting his vocal range on parade.
Born to Lebanese/Chilean parents on the Gulf of Guinea in Nigeria, West Africa, the singer-producer now hangs his hat in London, calling the second single a tribute to the city that’s helped to shape him. “‘Good Morning London’ speaks to exactly where I was — welcoming a new day and feeling like I was on my way home to somewhere I belong.”
