My girls are beautiful

f(x) at a Marc by Marc Jacobs show:

I notice that Victoria really likes wearing wedges, and I really am not a fan of wedges. I feel like they semi-cheapened the outfit she was wearing. Wedges just aren’t very red-carpety. Sulli’s outfit on the other hand, the bomb. She dresses well and poses well and is just so gorgeous, but I think it’s sort of sickening that she’s only 15/16. 15 year-old girls should really be hanging out with friends and talking about stupid things at sleepovers, and not attending fashion shows and appearing in W magazine editorials :( She’ll miss her youth when she gets older, but that’s another rant for another day!

An homage to my favorite book, a men’s fashion editorial, an Asian pop idol…this is too beautiful. I…I-I think I need a moment. *weeps*

I love fan photos #1

I have a bajillion photos of celebs and idols who I don’t even keep up with, simply because fans take such amazing photos. I bet all of these fans could seriously get into photography as a job if they wanted to. Also, speaking from experience, taking great photos of idols while they perform is one of the hardest things…ever.

What the BoA?

August 7, 2010

Album first: I’m pleasantly surprised!

Here’s the thing: I have a huge love/hate relationship with BoA’s voice. It’s hard for me to like the songs that she sings when they’re slow ballads with one single twinkling piano melody or something. I find her slow singing voice to be extremely nasally, can eventually progress to sounding straight-up whiny.

But then when she has to do the dance tracks and hit all those notes while dancing and belt those crazies out, she rocks my socks OFF. (Ie: 3:36-3:42.)

So, as long as BoA sings uptempo ballads and dance songs, then me and BoA are tight. And while this album is a mere 11 songs long, I only skipped over 2! I usually skip over 90% of BoA’s Korean albums! (For fear of sounding like a super hater, I would give my left nut [if I had a left nut] to BE her if I were given the chance.)

I don’t really have favorites at the moment but I dig the way this album is arranged. The first three tracks go well with each other and I think the beginning third of an album is very important to the impression one gets when listening to a new album.
