Zaha Hadid Architects: Zaha Hadid Interview
ZAha Hadid Table: Zaha Hadid Architecture: Zaha HAdid Furniture
I am a fan of Zaha Hadid Architects, Well is it even fair to call them that, given their forays into all areas of design, I am a fan of their design style but I have to admit I have been a bit late into their work.
I agree whith what she points out in the interview, basically that they have evolved their style. I look at their earlier project and they do not look anything like the buildings they are producing at the moment.
They are people who do not like her work and I feel sorry for them.
I alway look forward to what she is doing at the present moment. They are very exciting.

Rihanna : GMA Interview
Rihanna has opened up to Good morning America to give the worlsd her first views after the Chris Brown incident.
All I can say that this sound like a girly interview but it will be interesting whaat she reveals in the next interview, I wonder why she needed to speak. Obviuouslly, her new albumn has made her do the media rounds.
It will be good to see what impact this will have on Chris Brown comeback trail.
The only thing to conclude is that Chris Brown and Rihanna are one hundred per cent over and that she loved Chris.
It is amazing that she claims to have been embarassed by Chris Brown and her falling in love with him.
Is it a little bit funny that she has fully retained her Bardian accent, I honestly thought she would have been fully Americanised by now.

Spain Prime Minister’s Daughters:Zapatero Daughter pictures cause controversy
tags:Zapatero Daughters photos, Spain Prime Minister’s Daughters, Alba and Paula Zapatero goth, Obama’s with Spanish primeministers family, photographs at the United Nations
There was a frenzy of diplomatic acticvity yeasterday between Spain and the White House by th the US State Department publishing of a photso featuring the teenage daughter of Spanish Prime Ninister José Luis RodrÃguez Zapatero with his wife and President Obama and the First Lady Michelle Obama but the daughter were dressed up as goths.
Zapatero Daughters
Normally, there is an agreement between the Spanish media and the Prime minister not to publish any of the daughters photos given that they are still underage. But the State Department published the photos on their Flickr page and had to withdraw them at the request of the Spanish. It is reported that the Zapatero’s have were able to prevent earlier photographs from being distributed by the Spanish State news Agency EFE.
But unfortunately the Spanish rightwing newspapers to the occassion to publish the photographs, with the faces of the daughter blurred, to hide their identity.
Privacy laws would not have any chance in holding in Anglo- Saxon countries, where the media is more aggressive in its coverage of celebrities, can you imagine the British tabloids not being told to keep such an agreement.
I wonder how the appearance of the daughter dress in all black and wearing all black will go in Catholic Spain, which is in many ways still very conservative? Will the church be scandalised when they see the Laura 16, and Alba 13, wearing goth and having amulets round their necks?
Can these European gentlemen’s agreements to guard privacy work in a places like the USA were there first amendment rights are jealously guarded?
How can the government even hope to regulate blogs and websites? Is it not amazing that European politicians still feel that they can be able to stop photographs being published internationally. Many will reacall, a similar controversy photos of Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, at a party few months ago,which he was able to prevent their publication in Italy but evetually appeared in Spanish newspapers a few weeks later?
The irony is that the photograph’s of Paula and Alba Zapatero would have not been shocking, if the Zapatero daughters were used to the media spotlight and they might have also modified their appearances to make their image less shocking.
The days of controlling photographs and stories might be over for European politicians but it might take time for it to sink in, given that Europe is still dominated by state controlled media groups and agencies. The USA can always export a Perez Hilton, the infamous blogger, to shake the complacency of the Spanish media?
Alicia Keys, Swizzbeatz and Mashoda, Twitter wars.
Alicia Keys Swizzbeatz and Mashoda
My thoughts are coming up in a moment but I really commend Mashoda for having the where with it all to come out and say what she feels.
Remember the song woman to woman by Shirley Brown, Listen to these lyrics, it summarises the situation.
happier times
There are a lot of things to notice
After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page. I’ve never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I’ve reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son.
I was a fan of AK’s last album, we were both signed to J Records and I always checked up on her projects. I sang her songs and admired her for creating Superwoman and Karma, I would never deny her, her talent. I believed in her until I found out she was possibly sleeping with my husband. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.
Already I can hear some of you saying ” why are u blaming her, You cant make someone leave their wife, You cant break something thats broken”. Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our sons birth and getting ready to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted wife.. As far as me blaming her and not blaming him, thats false. Me and my husband have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept his choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways.
My concern with AK is no longer the fact that she assisted in destroying a family but that she has the audacity to make these selfish comments about love and wanting to be with someone, even after knowing their situation. How is this the same Superwoman that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes.
If you are reading this Alicia, let me start by saying, you know what you did. You know the role you played and you know how you contributed to the ending of my marriage. You know that I asked you to step back and let me handle my family issues. Issues that you helped to create.
Im not saying everything was perfect all the time but no relationship is perfect. We made a vow to God and I believe you should have respected that, as a woman. I know you owe me or my son nothing but I just wish you would’ve handled things more carefully. I’m not judging you, I put you and the whole situation in the hands of God, the Higher Power. Just know that as a woman, I expected so much more from you. I never had intentions on reaching out to you this way but after reading your twits tonight, and the constant disregard, you left me no choice. I feel that after 1 and a half years of you hiding this affair and acting like it doesnt exist, that now is the time to confront it, since you talk so openly about it now
This is not a publicity stunt, I dont have a record coming out. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a small child involved. His dad loves him to death and he wants to spend more time with him but hes afraid because he knows we don’t have a relationship. This is my main concern. My son NEEDS his dad and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him!
I know many will see my point and many will not be able to look into what’s real because they only want to see Alicia Keys the celebrity, not the human. This is not for the “people”, this is for you. Like I said I was left no choice but to reach out to you this way. By now, Im sure you want to find a balance in this as well.
I read your tweets tonight and I felt they were very insensitive. You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair. Its baffling to me that you don’t understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I dont consider myself a victim anymore, Ive learned alot from this! I just ask you to try and be a bit more realistic and delicate to the situation, at least until my divorce is final. I felt me attending the party would have been a starting point for us, since you shook my hand after I offered it, but I suppose I was wrong.
If its so, that you and my husband are meant to be together, then God bless you both and I hope you never have to deal with what I did. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. If you two being together forever is the case, its more of a reason for us to get along, because I’m not going anywhere. Theres a child to be raised.
To answer your tweet, choose smart over spark. Sparks burn everyone, be smart! Its simple actually, just think of the shoe being on the other foot.
1) This is an Open Letter Tweet- it must be the first of its kind.
2) What really messed her up were Alicia Keys tweets. We have to be careful about twitter, although it is good for keeping in touch, there is no way to retrieve what is already written.
I have looked at certain aplications on Twitter and believe that twitter can be used for both good and evil, there are subjects I will not touch on Twitter.
3) I am really surprised at that there are people who say that Mashoda is a woman scorned.
4) I am also suprised that there are those who feel a strong sense of moral indignation about Alicia Keys stealing amarried woman.
5) Celebrity marriages, Like I said in the past if you feel that you are only confined to ain the celebrity class, then your choices are pretty limited. But is this enough of an excuse for going after another woman’s man?
5) I really do not know who was to blame, but Alicia Keys has to take some of the blame but really the man is a rat.
6) In the Hip hop world, really breaking up of a marriage is a small thing given all the madness which goes on behind closed doors.
7) Mashoda really took her vows seriously, but there are not many men today who would havee stayed clear in Alicia Keys was knocking on the door. But Mashoda really asked Alicia Keys to steo pff her but she did not.
Maybe man were intimidated by Alicia Keys looks, being that pretty can mean men do not sep up to the plate.
9) The irony is that Alicia Keys and Jay Z were upset at Little Mama intruding their MTV stage show, but Alicia gate crahed that marriage and make a successful takeover bid.
10) Alicia Keys was really making an effort to comeback but this might make her retreat for a little while.
John Coltrane and Theolonious Monk
Sweet and Lovely: Live at Carnegie Hall
This is the first time I hear, John Coltrane with Theolonious Monk, this when he was still playing with Miles Davis.
It is interesting to see how Monk Music in a way constraint John Coltrane but he sounds good.
Amber Rose are you Black or white?

It is confusing to see the obsession with Aber Rose, is Amber Rose black?
The only part of Amer Rose that is black is her dress.
She has every right to change her image as she sees fit, but why are all the black celebrity blogs involved with her? It seems that she might be the Kim Kardishan of today, but many people still think that she is a light skinned black person to tell you the truth she has not said what she was.
Well Amber Rose might not be black but really but is honorary black, just like Jennifer Lopez and Kim kahaedishan. the criteria for being honorary black is to have a black celebrity boyfriend, a big bottom and fullish lips.
george Stepanopolous: Barack Obama and George Stepanopolous
George Stepanolopolous and Obama on Taxes
What is tax? Everyone knows that there wil have to be some tax rises if Obama Healthcare plans aare to go ahead, but incredibly Obama refuses tho ackowledge thatthere might have to be tax rises.
In a way the debate was conjured up, given that little George Stepanopolous was asn aide to Bill Clinton, it was reallly meant to be a friendly interview but it ended with Barck Obama a bit worried. Is using a dictionaruy recheaing?
By Obama running around every television network and excluding Fox News tells you what kind of an interview he really wants. But what he fails to see is that this will lionise Fox NEws because what they want to say is that they are the voice of America, instead of the voice of the Australian Owner Rupert Murdoch.
George loves to draw attention to himself, does anyone remember the interview he did with Ron Paul and how he made headlines after it?
But I f there is someone reaching it is Obama, he really believes that it would be easier than Bill and Hilary Clinton attempts to increase health care? We are beggining to see desparation on the faces of this administration.
London Design Festival 2009: 100% Norway
London Design Festival 2009: 100% Norway
chess
As part of the London Design festival Jaimie hayon has been asked to design the centre peice which is a chess board which sets to recreate the battle of Trafalgar. The ceremics have been hand painted.
It is that that time again, the London Design Festival is kicking of today on 19 September and it will finish on 27 September. It should be a very good affair, I have applied for a press pass so I can get in all the events the public is not allowed into.
Enjoy this sculpture by Kjersti Johannessen, it is exquisite, it is part of 100 % Norway. I am looking forward to these events but with London Fahion week stealing all the headlines, it would have been better for London Design Festival to have been on a diffeent week.
