Daisy Lowe for British Esquire (i-pad size if downloaded) from Greg Williams on Vimeo.

Wicked behind on posting since my mind & body are still on vacation mode, but here’s a little Thursday treat leading you into the weekend. Not only do I love this song, but I’ve got a mad girl crush on Daisy Lowe. She’s got a body to bite at; compared to all the skinny minis that haven’t bitten into food in years. Can we bring back the T&As? Just sayin’…

Somehow time on Thursdays always seem to escape me, but I wanted to take a moment to share this song with you that’s been been the soundtrack for today.  Sam Sparro is an Aussie turned Angeleno artist that mixes his sultry vocals with some sick electro-pop house beats to get an eclectic, yet smooth sound.  If his vocals aren’t charming enough already, he’s got a face to match… but as they say, “The cute ones are always gay.”  *sighhhhhh*

Sam Sparro – Black and Gold

If the fish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
and the apes climbed down from the trees
and grew tall and they started talking

and the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
now i’m looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion

’cause if you’re not really here
then the stars don’t even matter
now i’m filled to the top with fear
that it’s all just a bunch of matter

’cause if you’re not really here
then i don’t want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

i looked up into the night sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black

i feel a way of something beyond them
i don’t see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn’t real

’cause if you’re not really here
then the stars don’t even matter
now i’m filled to the top with fear
that it’s all just a bunch of matter

’cause if you’re not really here
then i don’t want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

Watch. Giggle. Lust.

You know when you hear a song and it just resonates with you for a while; possibly to the point of jam dancing in undies nonstop?  Well, The Black Keys “Next Girl” is wearing out my speakers.  Their new album drops on May 18th, entitled Brothers.  It will have their classic twangy, rock with bad ass beats signature sound mixed with a bit of Danger Mouse, who again is producing the album like their last, Attack and Release.

Quite possibly my favorite song at the moment… just replace girl with boy and it’s the story of my life.   Enjoy my loves.

02 Next Girl – The Black Keys

“Well, the look of the cake, it ain’t it ain’t always the taste

My ex girl, she had such a beautiful face, I wanted love

But not for myself, but for the girl so she could, so she could love herself

Oh my next girl, will be nothing like, my ex girl

I made mistakes back then, I’ll never do it again

Oh my next girl, she’ll be nothing like, my ex girl

It was a painful death, nah, I got a second chance

Oh her beautiful face and her wicked ways, and I’m praying for her beautiful face everyday

All that work, over so much time, if I think too hard, I might lose my mind

Oh my next girl, will be nothing like, my ex girl

I made mistakes back then, I’ll never do it again

Oh My next girl, she’ll be nothing like, my ex girl

It was a painful death, I got a second chance.”

And I’m off again… just down south to Austin for some SXSW fun with my birthday girl bestie.  Let’s just say I need a change of pace and a distraction from the daily life.  I haven’t been posting because well… who wants to hear about hospitals and sob stories? So farewell sick people, I’m off to dance to cares away!

My plans are to not make plans and just live in the moment.  And of course eat amazing Tex Mex, see Miike Snow, The XX, and of course the Perez Hilton Party, go buckwild on some awesome Austin thrift action, and lastly… Give my bestie a birthday she’ll never remember but can’t forget!

If you’re out and about, send me a tweet!

The lovely ladies at Lovemade invited me over to Bardot for the Eavesdrop party to celebrate Lewis and Veronica’s birthdays featuring Will.i.am.  In a bee-line to the bathroom, I nearly tackled Will.i.am to the ground.  Oopsies.  He turned to me as if I should adore him as much as the fangirls crowding him; however, my exploding baby-sized bladder took precedence.  Sorry homie.

Bardot, formerly known as Spider Club

Wanting to change things up from my norm of dresses, I decided on a sexed up menswear look: vintage wide leg pants, UO open back blouse, vintage wide belt & python clutch, L.A.M.B. platforms, Cartier watch & LOVE bracelet, tigerseye bracelet from Jamaica.  I spent the majority of night having a date night and dance off with the beau, downing vodka sodas, and of course keeping my lady lumps in place.

Will.i.am DJing his little heart out

Will.i.am seems to have a new project in the works for TV.  The massive crowd consisted of photographers, videographers, dancing fools, and the sound guy with a swinging boom stick.  After hearing a few too many Black-eyed Peas songs mixed with other latest hits, we left in search of late night noshing at the El Chato Truck.  All in all, a successful Sunday.

Disney and Tim Burton are taking the classic story of Alice in Wonderland and putting their golden touches on it.

Headed to see the show tonight at 7:30pm at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheater in Chula Vista thanks to Halloran of FM94.9. Street Sweeper Social Club opens, then NIN and Jane’s Addiction closes – interesting lineup as I thought NIN would be headlining.  Quite excited to see NIN in action (I’m not that huge of a fan, but hey I can’t argue with free tickets).  In the past, I’ve seen Perry Farrell perform with his darling girlfriend at the Florida Room and Dave Navarro at the Bacardi B-Live event.  Not bad, but both have a penchant for performing topless.
