Behind The Scenes With Eternal Lord January 27, 2009

One of the first really ‘alternative’ bands I was able to interview whilst at FemaleFirst was (to quote Wikipedia) and “
English deathcore band” and so clearly I was expecting four blokes with long hair, band tee’s and beer in hand.Oh why oh why do I always get it wrong?
Despite the fact that at many shows you see arrogant front men who think the world revolves around them and their giant egos (Oli Sykes Anyone?) So it’s really bloody refreshing when someone is famous in their field, and still manages to keep two feet on the ground. Even to the point where they sell their own Merch.
The guys were the nicest (and some night say prettiest) band I’ve ever met, they were so nice to me in my pink polka dot dress as I wandered around, climbing over amps, guitars and various other musical instruments backstage.
In what could have been their final interview, we talked about everything from hair-do’s to ice cream, and it was nice to meet a band who didn’t bleat on about how amazing they were or take life altogether too seriously. Aah.
Just a shame really that after talking about their plans for the future and their latest album, that a few weeks later singer Ed Butcher left the group; ultimately leading to their disbandment – I just wish I had gotten to know them sooner.
One thing’s for sure, after Ed protected me from the life-threatening pit that erupted during Shaped By Fate’s set, he’ll be a friend for life.

Skirts For Men January 27, 2009
Posted by jess in : Fashion , 1 comment so farNo you’re eye’s aren’t deceiving you, the latest trend designers are pushing on to us, well not us but our fellas, is mens skirts. (See more here: http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/lifestyle-fashion/styletrends/Trend+Alert+Skirts+For+Men-7036.html)
The likes of Yohji Yamamoto, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen, people who really should know better, have all used the look in their menswear shows in Paris.
This look has tried and failed many times in the past so just give it up fellas. Skirts are our domain and while stealing from your beau’s wardrobe may be ok for us girls but keep your mitts off ours!
Anything short and flowing is strictly for girls, let’s leave it that way!

I know I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night without a glass of the good old Blossom Hill but it seems like Adele has decided to give up booze for good from now on. At least next time I’m at a party with her there will be more booze for me.
Not content with swapping music for fashion, he has also swapped Kanye for King. That’s right Kanye West now wants to be known as Martin ‘Louis’ The King Jr following the launch of his clothing range. We do like you Kanye but your cocky attitude means you’re in extreme danger of turning into the new P Diddy and no one wants that.
This lady seems to be everywhere at the moment and now it appears that Michelle Obama may soon be gracing the cover of fashion bible, Vogue. They seriously seem to be letting anyone on there at the moment, not that we’re not fans of the new First Lady and her fab style, but back in the day you had to have been an anorexic supermodel for 10 years before you made the grade. How times have changed…
Britannia rule the waves, well from a movie perspectiveanyway, as Kate Winslet and Slumdog Millionaire continued their march to Oscar glory at last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards both scooping gongs, and no Winslet didn’t sob all over the place!
