New names @ North Sea Jazz 2010

Today I heard some new artists who are playing at North Sea!
It was a total surprise for me, because I thought April 28 was the date the next and last names would be announced.
But no, they're still contracting, and I'm soooo happy 'bout it!
'Cause I'm going to see:
Macy Gray, Herbie Hancock, Katie Melua, Jamie Lidell and many, many more! =D

Through it all.

For one of my best friends:

In the morning when you wake
Might not wanna face today and all your heartache
Thinking how much can you take
Please don't ever loose the faith and don't fall under

In a world that seems to get colder and colder
Don't you worry cuz
My love will only get stronger and stronger

Cuz I, I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna hold ya through it all
I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna never let you fall
Through it all
Through it all

Don't think about the past, don't worry bout the future
Just live in the moment
Long as there's another day there will be another way
A chance to make it through

In a world that seems to get colder & colder
Don't you worry cuz
My love will only get stronger & stronger

Cuz I, I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna hold ya through it all
I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna never let you fall
Through it all

When you're down and out
Losing dignity
Don't let go of me (hold on)
Surely this is a brighter day right in front of me (hold on)
If you really looked inside
You would finally realize
You don't have to cry (no more)
All you have to do is see
That you can believe in me
And I will never leave

Cuz I, I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna hold ya through it all
I, I, I, I'm gonna love you gonna never let you fall
Through it all

Alexander Wang, Mister Beauty

I was just checking out the latest news on www.elle.nl, when I spotted a post of Alexander Wang's rough eyebrows look. I had already seen it in some magazines before, but woah, do I love this look.
The eyebrows may not be very logical in real life (can imagine being stared at a lot on the streets, school or whatever when you come up with these hairy earbrows), but I think it looks awesome on the catwalk. It's still decent and it looks a bit raw and naughty.
What I also love about the look is the side braid, I think that's the best beauty trend of 2010. Long, curly brown hair, in combination with the nude look. Another look I absolutely adore! La la love it! Definitely a look in which you can draw me out a lot this summer, white or creme clothes, nude make-up and a long side braid. But I can not promise to do the raw eyebrow thing, that's a bit too much for me! But it looks amazing at the models, the last model you see is the Dutch talent Nimue Smit, by the way.

Doutzen Kroes for Tiffany & Co

'Neerlands Trots' Doutzen Kroes is the new face of the American jewellery firm, Tiffany & Co, also known as Tiffany's.
She's working it!Doutzen is this very different type as, for example, Audrey Hepburn, who played the lead part in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. Doutzen is blonde, type 'girl-next-door' (though your neighbour probably isn't as famous and gorgeous as topmodel Doutzen) and she has curves. Not that much, but definitely more as Audrey ;)

I think her photo looks wonderful! Very pretty.

John Lennon

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Yesterday I went to Matzer Marilyn Monroe, a play about the life of the legendary Miss. Monroe. Three women played in it. One really was Marilyn Monroe, and the other two were her conscience.

It was a bit vague and confusing, actually. It began with her marriage with one man, and then she was dead, and then it was 1960 again and then she talked about her childhood. The show was mostly filled with monologues about insecurity and the meaning of life. It was interesting, but it wasn't spectacular.

The lead actrice was very good, she played very enjoyable. There were two men, they played the parts of all the men in Marilyn's life, among others John F. Kenndy ('Happy Birthday, Mr. President'). One guy could sing very well.
I don't regret it that I bought tickets for the show, because I know a lot more about Marilyn's life, who she really was. She wasn't just a sex-symbol, she was a real woman, someone who had her issues and insecurities and doubts. She really was a fascinating person. Though this show wasn't the best, I'm dying to see a view of her movies, like 'Some like it hot' or 'Something's Got to Give'. Marilyn Monroe, or Norma Dean as her real name is, was a legend.

New lay-out

I was just trying out different lay-outs for my blog and I'm most happy 'bout this one. What do you think? A yes or a no? By the way, today it's April 8, which means only one month to go 'till it's May 8, THE day of the concert of Alicia Keys!!

Happiness

Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing, you will be succesful.
