Coco's World:Her Likes and Dislikes

This is our family dog Coco, she's almost 19 weeks(4.5 months) old and she's a right little terror, but is playful, beautiful and very affectionate, but can sometimes believe she is a German Shepard. We've had her since she was 7.5 weeks old and it's been an adventure. She's half Pomeranian(hyper and petite) and English Springer Spaniel( intelligent and energetic) just thought I'll share some things about her on the blog.

tired after playing with other doggies!

She looks innocent, but she isn't , she's praying someones feeds her! :-)

Likes: Food, the garden,hogging toys,barking at the air, licking,playing and anything that squeaks.

Dislikes: Cats,being alone, the blow dryer,the vacuum cleaner, the wheelie bin,being told off and the rain.

Note: Taken by Blackberry, hence the not so good quality pics

Fashion: American Apparel vs Roller Boogie The Movie 1979

Many people who know me ,know I'm obsessed with vintage things, especially the decades the 1950s and 1970s(seriously, I was born in the wrong decade-the mid 80s to be exact).... but I digress. A few days ago I bought Roller Boogie the movie (yes it's cheesy, but it's the 1970s, what can I say). I really only bought it because i love disco music, roller skating and late 70s fashion, Linda Blair(the exorcist) looked stunning in this movie too, cute, but what a cheesy story line. Anyways, as i was watching, i didn't realise how much American Apparel have modelled their clothing line from this movie, I love AA by the way-very over priced, but it's like a non second hand 1970s candy store heaven.

I'm always researching movies and fashion, so i was pleasantly surprised to find out that AA actually played this movie in their stores back in 2006 as a homage to the movie, they basically saw this movie and decided to buy all the type of material they used in the disco era, and hey presto, AA was born in downtown LA, were the movie was shot too.

I was a little shocked to hear AA are in financial trouble though, honestly if AA closed down i would be seriously depressed, I like vintage but at the same time i love to buy retro remakes too, i'm always praying that they can slash the stupid prices, because £20 for a T-shirt is ridiculous, and there questionable advertising sometimes reminds me of the sleazy seventies, but i love there clothes too death. I've got some movie stills, courtesy of http://www.susan-a-miller.com/rollerboogie/dvd and the rest are from the AA website, so you can see the similarities.

Have you heard the rumour about American Apparel being in debt and what are your thoughts about it?

Cringe: Past Celebrity Couples That Don't Match?

I've been into a lot of old school movies lately and the other day I was watching James bond a view to kill, i believe it's called. I was looking up Grace Jones, one of my Idols, and I couldn't believe who she used to date. Anyway have you ever thought to yourself how odd a match some celebrities in the past have been?, slightly cringe worthy, but hey- we are all in titled to fall in love with anyone we choose too, but i just wanted to share in my opinion some of the odd ball couples I've found:

Ted Danson and Whoopi Goldberg? Yikes!

Julia Roberts and that geezer? love is blind (ooops)

Rick James and Linda Blair? Random

Grace Jones & Dolph Lundgren? Very Interesting

Coolness: I Heart Dancers aka "Gotta Dance"

i love to dance and it's a real shame I couldn't become a professional dancer :-( but I did do talent shows, so know permanent damage done :-). Just like music, i'm completed obsessed with dancing too. Whilst browsing through my latest obsession (again) dancing........(I really don't know what i would do without YouTube), I found these great clips of "real dancers" mostly all street dancers, with no professional training at all, you may some of recognise them. I love street dancers because you see raw emotions and passion, something I don't think you can see in a dance studio.

When i watch programmes like Randy Jackson's American Dance Crew, I enjoy it, but their is nothing like an old school dancer. I salute all the lockers, poppers, breakers, wacckers, tappers, freestylers and even the square dancers around the world who keep these art forms alive!!.

Here are some of my favourite dancing quotes: "Dancing: the vertical expression of a horizontal desire legalized by music". ~George Bernard Shaw

"Dancers are instruments, like a piano the choreographer plays". ~George Balanchine

"I see dance being used as communication between body and soul, to express what it too deep to find for words". ~Ruth St. Denis

"Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels". ~Faith Whittlesey

If you enjoy the art of dance like me, here are some great clips, courtesy of YouTube, enjoy :-)

enjoy :-)!

I Love Music: M.I.A-XXXO

M.I.A is like marmite, you either like her or hate her, right?, but I weirdly like this song, not sure why, she looks pretty in the video though.

What's your thoughts?

Travel:United Arab Emirates-Dubai!

A shot from my window, showing parts of the stunning Dubai skyline, taken by photo booth!- anyways..........

I've been away from the Laptop for two weeks now because I've been living it up in Dubai(pics and video to come soon). I've had a fantastic time, and really didn't want to come back-but London is home for me. It has also been life changing, so watch this space. Moving on......here's a video of the Dubai desert, not edited but I just wanted to share it.

Note: Sorry about the sound quality, that's my best friend looking oblivious ha
