Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850

Riri and La Lopez may have been thousands of miles apart, Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates and NYC respectively, but they both kicked off 2010 in true Glamour Whore form...giving bad ass performances and looking utterly glam while doing so. I appreciate that, I thank them for starting my new year right...by giving me something to talk about.

Uber-diva Jennifer Lopez performed in Times Square, the heart of her home town and as usual the glamour factor was off the charts... Auld Lang Syne bitchesssss.





Mz.Rihanna rang in her New Year rocking the stage in Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates ... What do 2009 and 2010 have in common? Riri was a bad bitch in 2009 and she's a bad bitch in 2010. Kul 'am wa antum bikhair!! <~Happy New Year in Arabic.

Know what else hasn't changed in 2010? Just Jared is still providing great photos...

As the year draws to a close, people use many different ways to say goodbye to 2009... Some reminisce over events of the past, nostalgically recalling people, places, and really killer parties. Others, like myself, prepare by dreaming big and getting excited for the future. Speaking of which, I am so thrilled to start the new year as co-editor of the Glamarazzi! Iggi and Keedah have graciously allowed me to jump into rotation on their project, and I'm excited to read some amazing posts!

Lightbolt "Striking" Penang B-Suite Hotel

B-Suite Hotel in Malaysia's Penang Island is a quite new hotel which opened for the business only since 2 or 3 years ago. Because of its strategical position (2mins of driving to Penang Bus Station and <10mins to the international airport) together with its low price, B-Suite Hotel attracts a lot of tourists and those who are on the business trip.

On one day in 2008 July, when I went to eat at a nearby food court (now demolished for the properties development), I ran across a high school classmate who I didn't meet up for 12 years the second day he stayed in the hotel. He was then on a business trip from China.

Everyday I can see the B-Suite hotel across the window of the house I currently rented but never took a picture for it. Several days ago, after a dinner with some friends who was going back to China, I brought my digital camera Nikon D90 to test the standard Nikkor AF 50mm/F1.8D lens. The night was rainy, an accidental opportunity made me picture a photograph of B-Suite Hotel as if it was struck by a lightbolt during a long (8') exposure. This was the first time ever I caputred a lightning in a shot. So surprised! Now I share it here.

The picture below was the original version which was directly converted from RAW to JPEG. And the top one was cropped, retouched and then converted a JPG using Nikon's Capture NX 2 software. Any kind comment are welcomed!

I love lace... Well, when done correctly, there is NOTHING worse than cheap, tacky gaudy looking lace. However, when done correctly, I simply love it... And not just in the form of clothing...

I'll never be the same - if we ever meet again
Won't let you get away-ay - say, if we ever meet again
This free fall's, got me so ohhh
Kiss me all night, don't ever let me go
I'll never be the same
if we ever meet again
-"If We Ever Meet Again" Timbaland Featuring Katy Perry

Katy Perry and Timbaland filmed the video for their single "If We Ever Meet Again" from Timbaland's upcoming CD "Shock Value II" and she looks...FABULOUS!! I am impressed with her fashion evolution... In the past, the girl's style was detrimental to my health... literally. I once got a mind-numbing headache after my eyes caught sight of her on stage, had me driving to the 24hr deli desperate for Advil. Lately though she seems to be on point in the fashion/beauty department and my eyes thank her...



And as usual...sending tons of love to Just Jared for always providing the best photos!! xoxo

~The "Jersey Shore" Cast Gets A Makeover... Ummm...I Guess~

"My personal style is fresh to death. Have you ever been to the supermarket? You know the produce section, like where the food is fresh? That's my style."
-Paul "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio -"Life & Style"



Wow. I always thought Paris, Milan, and New York City were the style meccas. I'm sorry. Apparently I owe Pathmark some press. I will totally cover the runway show in Aisle 6 this spring, I promise. I just hope I'm "fresh to death" enough to get a front row seat...

Ok, enough. I am now going to retract my claws and do what I'm here to do... I'm not even sure of what that is right now... Apparently, hell has frozen over and I'm actually writing about the disaster that is "The Jersey Shore".... Here goes.

Life and Style magazine has done the impossible and made-over the cast of The Jersey Shore . Rendering them fashionable enough for one of NYC's hottest clubs, Greenhouse. And although it's a VAST improvement, the article itself smells of the deli section...a wee bit cheesy. What they basically did was dress each cast member up as a current media darling. I'm not "J Wowwed" by it, but it is an improvement.

Taylor Swift & Taylor Lautner Split Up

Taylor Swift, the 20-year-old country singer, has ended her rumored 3-months romantic relationship with Taylor Lautner, the 17-year-old New Moon star, US Weekly reported.

Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner met on the set of their movie Valentine's Day. They first sparked rumors of a romance after Swift hugged Lautner at one of her October concert.

A friend close to Swift claimed that the two Taylors have decided to stay friends. "It wasn't really developing into anything, and wasn't going to, so they decided they were better as friends," the source said.

"He [Taylor Lautner]  liked her [Taylor Swift] more than she liked him. He went everywhere he could to see her, but she didn't travel much to see him." the source revealed.

In 2008, Taylor Swift claimed that ex Joe Jonas dumped her during a 27-second phone call.

FYI: The word "Turban" comes from one of many variations on the word tulip, alluding to the designs which can be created by wrapping the cloth.

I have turbans on the brain... Seriously. I'm having visions of rocking a diamond studded turban while enjoying my dirty martini, very old Hollywood... Or sporting a white one with a bandeau bikini while frolicking on the beach... Or just donning one simply to jazz up my usual uniform of a wife beater and form fitting jeans. I have long been fascinated by and drawn to these beautiful and stylish headdresses...
