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

Nostalgia: Rare Vintage MJ Interview and Studio 54

I'm always on YouTube looking for vintage interviews, (as a journalist, this would be an amazing opportunity to interview these mega stars) I would love to teleport back to the 1970s( especially the late 70s), hands down my favourite decade of all time!......followed by the 80s and the 1950s, and studio 54 would be an amazing experience, don't you think? Funny, i'm not really a "party girl" but i would defo let it rip in that place haha. When i came across this video, I died, firstly did you see that Afro mike was sporting, he was soooo adorable, that's an enormous amount of hair haha, Liza Minnelli, a true living legend, i love love love her!. I've got some amazing pics of my parents from that decade that i will be posting on the blog soon, my parents cringe, but i love the clothes and attitude of that decade, and who can't forget the amazing music?, Que Bee Gees "You should be dancing"
Disco Doesn't Suck ha. Enjoy :-)
