*NEWSFLASH* MJ is coming to town!!!!
Yes Yes Yes!!!
Can't actually believe that MJ/Wacko Jacko/King of Pop is planning on making a much anticipated comeback at the o2 arena. Believe that I will be the first in line at the box office in my tent and a supply of mango juice. This is one event in my life that cannot be passed by! The reclusive singer last performance was at the World Music Awards back in 2006 which was uh hum... well... hopefully in this loooong break he has been on there has been an intensive preparations going on so that he can come back with moves he performed in Bad, Smooth Criminal, Thriller... the list goes on. I am just hoping they don't charge extortionately ridiculous prices such as £5000 +£10000 Booking fee... you never know!
So to get us all in the mood here is a few of my favourite MJ Jams... Enjoy.
BAZAAR RUNWAY CREATIONS!!
Dino Alves took inspiration from a hot headed woman suffering from PMS...
Not quite sure where Philip Lim is going with this... probably nowhere with that bondage style carriage/sack!
Giles made it just in time for Easter... this is from his ready-to-wear collection as in smart casual wear that can be seen in the office. This egg-centric design will sure make anyone deluded enough to wear this look like a bad yoke!
BARBIE ON RUNWAY
PLACE: New York Fashion Week...
DESIGNERS: Michael Kors, Rachel Roy, Marchesa, Calvin Klein + More...
THEME: Fuchsia Explosion...
>
Barbie celebrated their 50th year in style with a runway debut on the catwalk at New York Fashion Week. They managed to pull off the caricature of girlishness in their new line, but still added an element of edginess with the power blazer. Maybe their new line is an ode to Miss Paris Hilton Herself!?

D.S WANTS: Me likey... Me gotta have!!!
This is the MacBook Pro, soon to be my MacBook Pro. This sleek, powerful, radiant piece of perfection will be on top of my lap as soon as the funds are raised and it doesn't come cheap at £1,369 a pop, not including protection! The way people are going crazy over Blackberry phones is the way i'm crazy over this mac. The things I want to do with it are just crazy!!! My chum recently showed-(off) his new one to me which he appropriately named Tinkerbell! He was a bit lost though, not quite mastered his way around this beauty and has yet to take advantage of the array of different creative suites available. Well I soon will have my way with applications such as Aperture, Final Cut and not forgetting the Adobe creative suite software: InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. I'm soo over this Sony Vaio on my lap. I was close to hurling it out my window in a mad rage the other day. I can't wait till the day that I no longer have to wait 10 minutes for it to turn on fully... When stupid messages stop telling me the virtual memory is running low when only one application is open... and when I have a B button and don't have to copy & paste it (Ok that one is my fault due to a freak accident with cuppa soup, the one and only time I drank it I knocked it over the keyboard like the clutz that I am!)
So this is No.1 on my wishlist and all offers to purchase are welcome :)

I'm just popping to the market for some feet!!
This is real and can be found in Jankara market in Lagos, Nigeria. MyGhanadaily.com reports that human body parts are found all over the market, including ears on the floor and other disturbing parts of the human anatomy!! The market does not only specialise in body parts but also has your everyday groceries like poultry and veg. Greaat Lamb and Leg stew...
When reading the article my first thought was that they must be carnivores, but then I considered the geographical location of these activities and figured they are using the body parts for Occult activities, otherwise known as Ju Ju. There are some formalities that have to be adhered to before purchasing any body parts...
"The dealers know their terrain and the world they inhabit.They smell and sense danger in the air all the time. They are inclined to do business with you if you mention and have a prove of a regular Juju priest and customer. Even at this, they will still carry out a check on you. There’s no physical search. Under the pretex of “bringing your thing”, they will call your guarrantor and run a check on you. Any discovery of falsehood, they will cancel the deal and melt out of sight, leaving you to wait forever" (Source: SunNews Online)
Talking about Ju Ju hears the lastest Video from Grime star JME, Ju Ju Man. Loving the Manga style animation.

2009 BEST AWARD GOWNS SO FAR...
Yet again the awards season is passing us by and above are just a select few of D.S's most adored gowns displays by the these A Lister's. What I ♥ is the effortless chic-ness each one of these ladies display.
Newcomer Freida Pinto has stormed ahead of many celebs that have paraded the Red Carpet over the years with her ruffled pink Oscar De La Renta frock. Watch out VB(Posh), you just may have a contender in your constant style race.
Beyonce manages to take control over 'Miss Sasha Fierce', because we all know the crazy style mistakes and the parading of House of Dereon happens when 'Sasha' takes the lead. Beyonce opts of a eye catching beaded Elle Saab number which demonstrate her ability to pull off true Hollywood glamour.
Mad Men ice queen January Jones rocked a pleated Versace gown but what finished of her look was the tangerine lip colour...Perfecto combo!
Maggie Gyllenhaal yet again shows she's an elite at illustrating Hollywood glamour to the tee. This fashion forward Lanvin leopard print off the shoulder number brings tingles down my spine. It's not the average silk/ chiffon gown But still manages to pull it off with the length. Heres my own attempts with a partially similar number although it's not quite Oscar standards but I'm still loving it!!
Can't wait to see what the celebs are going to pull out the bag on Oscar night.

D.S TOP 5 JAMS
1. Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood
Rightfully named no.1 album of the year by the Rolling Stones, The Guardian and The Times, Fleet Foxes have revived Indie Folk Pop in a way which feels one with a nostalgia of childhood outings on school trips, days in the country and all the innocent tendencies we had before puberty struck (Well for me anyway). The Seattle based five piece soft, choir-Esq vocals compliment their deep lush, layered sound. Ragged Wood is taken from their self titled debut album which also features the hit White Winter Hymnal. Definitely a feel good anthem in the times of the 'Great Depression/ Recession'
2. Rihanna - Rehab
Rehab I can say is truly one of the few songs I rate acceptable from the Bajan/ beat-up songstress. I have taken a shocking liking to this heart churning melody, well more than a liking since it's been on a constant loop for a well. But its not due to the 'unique' vocals of Rihanna but instead the sheer unadulterated talent of MR JT formally known as Justin 'Trousersnake' Timberlake... Remember that? OK I have held back from commenting on the traumatic domestic that went down with boyfriend Chris Brown but what I will Say is that she can finally sing this song knowing that she can truly relate to it and some people are going to empathise with her by listening to more and more of Rehab... Kerrrchiing!! More dollars to spend on endless tattoos and piercings. Also apparently she had bite marks on her arms and inner thigh. Missy don't start adding bruising from your kinky activities to the altercation that occurred!
3. Leona Lewis - Run
Absolutely digging this ballad from Leona. Haven't been a fan of previous singles as they fail miserably to showcase her amazing vocals. The Snow Patrol cover was the fastest selling digital release ever, selling 69,244 copies in two days and also managed to get a Grammy nomination. Keep up the good work Leona and stay away from Lois Walsh's Pandora's Box of evil covers!!
4. John Legend - It's Over
I hardly ever purchase an album but on this occasion I felt inclined to as this song was only available when purchasing the whole Evolver album, to my knowledge. I searched all other possible routes but failed to find :( The catchy beat featuring Mr K West on his Vocoder added I life to a surprisingly DEAD compilation of depressingly melodramatic soulful songs, with the exception of the single Green Light. A tad bit disappointed that I didn't wait a little longer to see if the ‘routes’ would finally work.
5. Inner City - Goodlife
Now this is what I call happiness! So loving this 80s electro dance tune. It should be illegal not to play it at every rave or party, as it would be incomplete without. Although I'm feeling slightly guilty listening/dancing to it right now as I tend to forget I have got 1000s of word to be dissertating on and until the 5th May (last deadline) I can't truly enjoy this Jam. Not to worry once I'm done I’ll be all about the place moshing to this!!!

Women as Bitches?????
Hi all!!! This is my first time posting on here so I hope you like it...
Now I'm sure were all familiar with this years Celebrity Big Brother and all the commotion surrounding Coolio, don't worry I'm not accusing you of actually watching it so you don't have to admit to anything! We've heard the claims and accusations of bullying but we've also been told about Coolio's disrespectful attitude to women through the use of the word 'bitches'. Name calling is a horrible horrible thing in any circumstance but I want to pose the question 'Is Coolio being disrespectful or just calling it as he sees it?'. Whilst all the other house mates were disgusted at his choice of word, Coolio didn't intend it as a describing word for all women, just the ones who are promiscuously searching for love in the hands of a rich rapper and he seems more than able to create a distinction between the two showing high levels of respect for (most of) the women in the house.
So whats your view of the use of this word, is it always unacceptable or justifiable in cases where the actions shown demand no respect.

STILL LOOKING FOR A BARGAIN???
First and foremost I want to wish you all a Happy New Year!!! Ok I know I'm a bit late but essay writing and deadlines cannot be helped.
So January = Sales for most of you, but unfortunately my attempts failed as I got literally pushed from Topshop's sale section into the non-sale section and ending up handing over £100 for three pieces of polyester mix rags. So for those of you in the same positions as me there is still time to catch a bargain from the people at www.buymywardrobe.com who will bring you designers such as Gucci and Marc Jacob from fashionistas from Gucci head quarters, What Not To Wear stylist Zoe Lem amongst others. The event takes place in London's Covent Garden on 31st January 2009 and they claim there are items starting from as little as £5.
