Spotlight Fashion: Tyson Ballou

Now who isn't in love with a beautiful man in an underwear ad? When I think of what would want to look like in skimpy undies, I imagine myself as beautiful and toned as Tyson Ballou. I know I am not quite there yet but do hope that one day I will be damn close. Looking through Tyson's PHOTO GALLERY I realized that he is not only good to look at, but he is also very versatile in his look. Between the racy underwear ads, fierce runway shots, and beautiful campaign layouts..it is clear that this is one model who knows what he's doing.

"Born in Garland, Texas, he began modeling at the age of 15 years old, appearing in magazines and shows in Texas. Later on, he began modeling in New York under the Ford Modeling Agency, but later signed with another agency, IMG, which was instrumental in making him one of today's most successful male models. His modeling include stints for Giorgio Armani, Versace, Exte, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce and Gabbana, among others. In 2007, he shot a jeans campaign for luxury brand 7 for all Mankind, alongside Carolyn Murphy."

Spotlight Fashion: Baptiste Giabiconi

I have always been in love with a classic Black & White photo shoot. These photos are no exception to that rule. Absolutely fucking fabulous in my eyes. They are part of the portfolio for runway and print model Baptiste Giabiconi. For only being 20 years old he has definitely already got a name going for himself. As far as I can tell, he is the lap boy for designer Karl Lagerfeld. Definitely smart move on his part. You can view the whole portfolio...

Spotlight News: "Bionic" Album Release

Christina Aguilera
"BIONIC"

I have always been a huge fan of the lovely Christina. Her sound has grown so much over the years and she has quickly become one of the most notable voices of our generation. Though I was never really a big fan of her first album but was totally in love with "Stripped" and even more obsessed with "Back To The Basics". She has always been so beautiful in my eyes and these new photo's of her just seal the deal.

There is a rather delightful story about her and the new album "Bionic" on OUT Magazine which is rather insightful and gives a little bit of history on her as well as the scoop on the new album. There were a lot of facts and information about her that I wasn't really familiar with. After reading the entry I was actually more stoked than I already was about hearing the new album.

"Bionic does not logically follow from her last album or the one before that. From pop tart to Angry Young Woman (Stripped) to Marilyn Monroe (Back to Basics), the sequence of Aguilera’s sound is as wild as the wind. Her voice is a mercenary, one of the perks -- and pitfalls -- of being a versatile medium. “Every album has been a 180 from the past,” she admits. “On Bionic, I wanted to go completely futuristic. As a new mother, I was thinking about the future generation, so I was inspired a lot by electronic music.” When she began the album, Aguilera put out a call to artists whose work she found simpatico, an unexpected cavalcade including underground faves Le Tigre, Goldfrapp, and Ladytron. “It’s a gamble,” Aguilera says of the cattle call. “You never really know who’s going to get it and who’s not.”

That's is an insert from the article that was extremely enlightening and I wanted to share with you. I am totally looking forward to hearing the collaboration she has done with LADYTRON. There are a few of her songs that I have listened to back in the day, definitely going to be interesting to see how the two come together. To read the whole article click the link below. ENJOY!!
