not now Lily pt. 2

no, no, no , no, noooooooooo!!! my number one London girl is going mad. after giving herself a home dye job, ms. Allen attended the Glammies (Glamour mag awards) with cotton candy colored hair and a white dress by Giles Deacon with a blazoned bleeding Bambi. some believe the pop singer is lashing out due to her unfortunate miscarriage and breakup earlier this year.

i just want her to go through her phases and come out with a great sophomore album. i have my fingers crossed for you Lily.

thanks Jenine.

Telectroscope

"Positioned at a spot near Tower Bridge, it allows people to watch their counterparts in New York, peering through an identical scope near the Brooklyn Bridge.

It is the invention of Paul St George, a 53-year-old artist in based in London who - using broadband internet cable to transmit video images between the two venues at high speed - gives the impression that the two cities are connected via a telescope under the Atlantic sea."*

friends and family have been using the 'scope to re-unite with a phone in one hand and the other hand free to wave.  while strangers have just been peeking through to see who's on the other side.  the telectroscope will be available until june 15th.

america's next top New York Times Magazine model

Tyra Banks is on the cover of the NYT mag. in her interview she says that she would like to be put in the same categories as Martha Stewart and Oprah. for our generation i believe that she is doing a good job at that; as long as she stays out of jail. the model mogul also states that she has 200 different smiles. pretty creepy as you can see in the third pic. i only have two, my real smile and fake smile :/

ps. look at mr. Jay sans the flat top... pretty creepy (what's with me and "pretty creepy" in this post?) lol

record braking

the Sex and the City movie pulled in $55.7 million over the weekend bumping Indie into second place. the SATC movie has also become the first romantic comedy and rated 'R' comedy to pull in that much money in an opening EVER!! fabulous!!

now here's my take on the film since most of you have seen it already. if not, well...

i did enjoy the movie overall, but here are some little things that could've been worked on:

1. although i was happy they added a sista by bringing Jennifer Hudson onto the cast, she could've played up her role a bit more.
2. the fifth lady, New York City, was not displayed as much as it could have.
3. how many times were the girls going to squeal every time they saw each other?
4. i needed a scene with just Carrie and Stanford. from pics you can see that one was recorded, but didn't make it on to the screen. :( (or did i miss it??)
5. and lastly, Carrie should've gotten the wedding she wanted. it was Big's third and her first--so what was his problem? when he married Natasha, did he not have a jazz song playing when she walked down the aisle? wasn't that so "Big"?

but like i said. minus those small glitches and the movie is still whimsical, fun, and satisfying :)
