good evening! here's a quick follow-up post to the one i did last week on beyoncé's new thierry mugler designed costumes for her i am... world tour ... below is your first look seeing the designs in booty shaking action! ms. knowles was in vancouver last night for the 4th night of her tour which just kicked off in edmonton on march 26th! sadly there's still no more US dates planned (besides the show she's doing tonight up in seattle) i must see this show - girlfriend better play los angeles in the summer! of course it all looks a little out of control & over the top - but we all know by now that goes with the territory when you're dealing with sasha fierce! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
OH MY GOSH! somebody besides tina knowles actually designed something for beyoncé - ring the alarm! world renowned french designer thierry mugler (61) took charge over the costumes for her new world tour (the I AM ... TOUR) which kicked off tonight up in edmonton, canada - below are some of the gorgeous sketches of what sasha fierce will be wearing (house of dereon will also be contributing to the show - of course mom tina had to put in her two cents) i've loved mr. mugler's incredible sense of style for years - my old roommate michelle (who i can't seem to find on facebook - oh i miss her) worked in his NYC office and would bring home his delicious fragrance angel all the time - it still drives me crazy to this day ... whenever i smell it - i have to ask out loud 'who's wearing angel?' i'm glad his name is back in the spotlight - he's been laying kinda low for the past few years - and not only is he responsible for 58 costumes - mr. mugler is also working as a 'creative advisor' - he'll be directing three portions of the show - dangerously in love, ave maria and the finale! unfortunately right now she's only planning one stop in the states (seattle on april 1st) girlfriend better announce new dates - even though i wasn't super crazy about her last tour (the beyoncé experience) i'd still really like to see her on this tour! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
"The duality between being a woman and a warrior." That's the spirit Thierry Mugler wanted to capture with the costumes he designed for Beyoncé's upcoming world tour, and from the look of these illustrations, he succeeded. The tour kicks off today in Edmonton. "Sasha Fierce is another aspect of Beyoncé's personality," Mugler offered via e-mail. "She is Fierce on stage and Beyoncé in real life. I tried to understand these two sides with my own perception of both aspects." SOURCE
oh my gosh! i feel like christmas morning came early - i woke up to not one but two brand new beyonce videos - one for diva (sung by 'sasha fierce') and halo (sung by beyonce) i love both songs - and ms. knowles' new album i am...sasha fierce has definitely secured a spot in my top ten albums of 2008 - which i need to post soon! watch the videos below for yourself - i think i actually like the songs better than the videos - see what you think! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
damn! i want a huge rock on my finger - just like beyonce! she was showing off her gorgeously extravagant (and pricey - costing an estimated $3.7 million dollars) 18 carat diamond wedding ring (made by designer lorraine schwartz) earlier this evening at the new york city premiere of her new flick cadillac records (opening in theatres this friday december 5th) also in attendance was her main squeeze jay-z but the couple didn't pose for any pics together (at least i couldn't find any...) and ms. knowles won't be selling her wedding pictures anytime soon (even though she was apparently offered ridiculous amounts of money) this is one couple who really does like to keep things as private as they can - and manage to pull it off somehow (their april '08 wedding was like the celebrity undercover event of the year) although i'm not a huge fan of his - i do hope they stay together - if beyonce is happy - then i am too! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
oh my goodness! you simply must watch this hilarious skit from tonight's saturday night live where justin timberlake and andy samberg donned black leotards along with high heels & pantyhose to play backup dancers for beyonce's 'single ladies' video - mr. timberlake was so damn cute & sexy shaking his thing just like ms. knowles - a total highlight of tonight's show! i'm quite sure this clip will be removed by tomorrow but i'm hoping NBC will have it up on their website (which they don't - for now we've got the dailymotion video below which takes a few seconds to load but it works) popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
good morning y'all! beyonce's two new singles have been in serious heavy rotation on my ipod as of late - i really like both tracks if i were a boy and single ladies (put a ring on it) which i happened to come across a hot remix of (posted below for your listening pleasure) it's already an upbeat track but this remix for sure turns up the dance vibe! her new double disc album i am...sasha fierce is releasing november 18th (the deluxe edition has 8 tracks on each disc) the first will be stripped down beyonce being all 'real' - on the other she's all about her alter ego sasha fierce...
i have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when i'm on stage, this alter ego that i've created that kind of protects me and who i really am. sasha fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when i'm working and when i'm on the stage - beyonce
when i saw her concert last year (the beyonce experience) she was totally sasha the whole time which grew a bit tired - sasha's a little obnoxious and full of herself - i do love my beyonce but sometimes she just over does it and seriously needs to bring it down a notch - hopefully this album will be better than her last release (b-day) i did like a bunch of tracks but as a whole it's choppy and lacks flow - she'll also be touring again with her sister solange handling the opening - although i wasn't overly thrilled with her last show - i know i'll have to go see her again! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
oh my gosh - just the other day we had the video premiere of if i were a boy and now here's another new video from beyoncé for her other newly released track single ladies (put a ring on it) (this one's upbeat and totally fun) she's really kicking the promotion & buzz into high gear for her upcoming 3rd solo album i am... releasing on november 18th! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
hey hey! here's another hot video premiere - this time it's beyonce with her brand new single if i were a boy which i'm totally in love with - it's such a great ballad - and ms. knowles is looking quite fierce in her police uniform! watch the video below for yourself - popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
UPDATE! now you can watch beyonce's video for if i were a boy over here and the video for single ladies (put a ring on it)here!
hey hey! oh happy day - today beyoncé released not just one but two brand new tracks (have a listen below for yourself and then decide which you like better) marking the official promotional kick-off for her upcoming third solo album i am... dropping on november 18th - the track if i were a boy is a really nice strong ballad that's bound to be a hit - the other one single ladies (put a ring on it) is groovy & upbeat but reminds me of get me bodied - a track off her last album b'day (and of course girlfriend had to mention deréon jeans...ugh) i don't think she should have dropped two songs at the same time but we all know ms. knowles is quite an ambitious lady (and is finally opening up about her marriage to jay-z) hopefully this album will fare better than her last release which wasn't all that bad (oh ring the alarm - i loved you so) but certainly wasn't a huge hit like her first solo effort from 2003 dangerously in love! popbytes over & out for tonight...xoxo
oh good evening boys & girls! i'm thrilled today is drawing to a close - it was just one of those ugh days - and thank heavens tomorrow is friday (i'm doing something pretty cool tomorrow afternoon which i'll be filling you all in on soon!) anyways as i was leaving work tonight i noticed something was going down on hollywood blvd but i couldn't quite tell what it was - now i know and i don't think beyonce would be pleased about it...right next to the grauman's chinese theatre a brand new $55 million dollar madame tussauds wax museum is being built (i've kept a close eye on its progress since i work right across the street - it's due to open next spring) and tonight was the official announcement with LA mayor antonio villaraigosa overseeing the ceremony where two new wax figures were unveiled - beyonce and jamie foxx - i do love ms. knowles (who has been keeping a low profile lately) but her waxy doppelganger is awful - the hair looks so cheap - i don't like her armpit pose at all - it's just all around wrong - somebody must agree with me?!?
if someone wanted to make my likeness out of wax - i would totally need to have final approval! i think beyonce needs to get on the horn with the madame of wax! having the museum on the block will be nice - before it was just an ugly parking lot - hollywood blvd has come so far since i've lived here - it's a lot less shady! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
