Oh I Miss Willam's Beatdown: The Shade Of It All

There used to be this webisode on a YouTube channel called The Stylish featuring the infamous contestant of Ru Paul's Drag Race Season 4, Willam Belli. Basically Willam used to breakdown and criticize Youtube videos that range from being vastly popular to unknown. Some of the Youtube videos featured popular make up artists like Michelle Phan, Gregory Gorgeous, Grav3yardgirl, JuicyStar07, and MacBarbie07.  These people have gained a lot of popularity through doing simple makeup tutorials that are not as well done or as innovative as maybe a real makeup artists would do. I believe the point of the show is to basically throw shade at the rookie make up artists who have received more recognition than seasoned professionals. And Willam Belli has a sharp tongue and makes deceiving comments about these youtubers. In the end, he is hilarious and he points out that most of those people don't have real jobs and they are getting away with putting useless videos on the internet. Willam says what we think out loud. And after 19 webisodes, the show had been cancelled. Willam still continues to promote himself as a web personality on his own You Tube channel with his music videos and own tutorials. To be honest, his videos are far more interesting than some of these kids who find nothing better to do with themselves. 

Whenever I am feeling down, I go on Youtube and watch his videos because he complains more than anyone I know and makes people look worse than himself. It's like bullying except your'e the innocent bystander. 










Check out some of Willam's videos:


He's my Best Friend in my head. I love you, Willam!

The Irony of Lorde: From Nobody to A Royal.

Thanks to Tumblr I have discovered the moaning songstress with the wild curly hair and crooked pout all over my Dashboard. By the time Lorde was 16, she broke through the food chain of the music industry with guest appearances on talk shows, magazine articles and millions of views on youtube. With that song "Royals", that Teen Anthem that basically mopes about boring it is to be a teen and how you are restricted from doing anything with your life. I get it, we all go through that phase where we hate every one including the world, but now that she has this upcoming success, maybe she should come up with some new material because her complaining led to fame. Now she's flying first class with Karl Lagerfeld cat and partying with elite fashion kids and we get to do the same shit with our lives, scrolling down dashboards hopelessly wondering if we ever have a chance in life to make it big. Just a little food for thought.

30 Years of Little Girls Learning Dance Moves From Music Videos: What this says about today.










This comic strip is so accurate, and sad to say this is so true. I remember finding myself dancing to Moulin Rouge in front of the tv at a very young age. I knew I didn't mean to be sexual, but as the years passed by and I grew older I noticed the influence of sexuality became more noticeable. In the music industry, most songs are sexual, no matter how innocent the songs may seem. Remember, "Dynamite" by Brenda Lee? Well if you look up the lyrics, she basically sings about how she's going to "explode" because she's all hot and bothered. I guess subtle lyrics were more cutesy back than, but with racy music videos, sexuality in marketing is really out there. And little girls have become the obvious target of copycatting raunchy dance moves of their idolized pop stars. I am for artists who are open about their sexuality, but I feel like some things shouldn't easily be shown on tv. And youtube doesn't have parental warning for their more explicit videos. It's just sad that every video has to be about ass and titties. And the fact that little boys and girls think that it's okay to pretend to act sexual. Kids are too young to know these things.

Bridget Hennessey from 8 Simple Rules

There was something so charming and homey about this show that I loved back when I was a young teenager. I mean the situations that happened in the show were obviously exaggerated, but sitcoms about family always have a special place in my heart. They are incredibly cheesy and corny and far from witty, but I always imagined to have a perfect picture life. 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter defiantly sets apart from the other shows. Especially, the main character brilliantly portrayed by Kaley Cuoco. She's ditsy, gorgeous and skanky. She's the type of girl I always wanted to be like in high school. It's fun to play dumb, especially when you get away with it. Maybe that's why I envision to be like her some days when I feel like my Blonde self.
 
 
She was boy crazy and she got away with dating 20 guys in a year.

 
 She has a Love-hate relationship with her sister.
 
 
She makes great life choices and she knows what she wants.


 She's a total Princess and she owns the throne.

 
She's honest and is totally materialistic. She's a living Barbie.

 
She doesn't act her age... AT ALL...
 

 
She's totally into herself.
 
This is why I want to celebrate being young. I cant help that I'm 21 years old. I want my freedom and I want to feel like teen for the last 10 years before my life becomes serious.

Halloween 2013: Celebs and Costumes

I'm always fascinated with what Celebs come up with for their costumes because its enough that all of these people are rich and famous, it takes precision, humor and character to come up with a knockout costume. Surprisingly, there were a few who decided to go all out this year. Let's have a look.
 
 
Fergie and her Hubby: Day of the dad makes anyone look sexy.

 
Iggy Azalea: That camel toe though. Bitch looks good, but tuck in that goddamn punani.

 
June Ambrose: Beyond Fantasy. She won me over this year.


Kelly Osbourne: Not too crazy, but she gets her costume across.
 
 
Miley Cyrus: Not enough titty, but she gets major Brownie Points. She still think's that she's black though.


Ellen DeGeneres: No Black Face, she looks better than Nicki anyway.
 
 
Heidi Klum: Queen of Halloween , forever the best costume this year.

 
Kelly and Michael: This is what the power of makeup does to anyone. Brilliant.

Sharon Needles is the Queen of Halloween and Not Just A Freak of Nature

 
In celebration of Halloween, I decided to dedicate this very special day to the legendary Sharon Needles. Sharon envelops the persona of any ghoul or freak for Halloween, but behind all the kooky costumes and heavy makeup there is a genuine person who loves to celebrate Halloween everyday.
 

This is Sharon. She's a walking Party City...But she's the fiercest queen to come out of any nightmare.

 
She can play any Legendary Serial Killers and get away with looking like a slut. How many times have we seen the typical Freddy Krueger Skank Costume with out seeing any actual work put into the costume.

 
She's beyond Camp and she lives for the image of Dumb and Ditsy. She can be rough around the edges, but she is crafty and very skilled with makeup.

 
She knows her place and she knows here limits. She can easily make fun of herself. She can play parodies as much as she wants to.

 
She's a total sass mouth and she can defend herself for the characters she portrays.

 
She is emotionally stable because she has been made of for her creative integrity.

 
She's the first person who I look for inspiration when it comes to Halloween makeup.

 
For crying out loud, look at that beated face.


She deserved to be crowned the winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race because she owned all of the challenges and defeated the mundane contestants.
 
Love ya, Sharon.

Marco Marco LA Fashion Week: One Lesson in Life, Replace the models with Professional Drag Queens

 
I feel more inspired to make clothes from Drag Queens and transgendered individuals for some reason. There has been a lot of press for this event at LA Fashion Week and here are the official looks worn by famous Drag Queens/Female Impersonators/Entertainers.
I'm living for these colors and bright highlighters ensembles.
 
 
Carmen looks flawless as always. Body Beautiful all the way.

 
Detox looking fierce and unstoppable.


Manila should keep doing this Ombre Teal look. It really makes her face look more dimensional.

 
Damn, Courtney. Those abs!

 
Shangela needs more hair, but she looks great here.

 
I'm surprised Willam is wearing so much material. More slut, less housewife please.


Vicky looks too covered :( Why they gotta do that to the big girls?!


I live for Raja. She's always ahead of the fashion scene and is the ultimate supermodel.


Yara, I like the colors, but maybe more hair would complete this look.

 
Alyssa needs a train for her royal highness!
