Black Tied - or: Prom 2012.

Bună seara!

Sorry for my lack of posts lately. Work has been really stressful & I had to deal with some bad news concerning some of my friends which kept me quite occupied.

On Saturday I went to this year's senior prom. Some of my friends graduated and I thought I could play dress up and join them celebrating. ;-) 

I can't believe it has already been a year since my own prom.

 I'll stop rambling now. Enjoy the pictures! 

Love, 

Lea.

P.S. I FREAKING LOVE MAC's Eye Shadow in "Black Tied".

"Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well

My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the radio

Get back, get down
Pull me closer if you think you can hang
..hands up, hands tied..
Don't go screaming if I blow you with a bang"

Alo lovelies :) 

I hope you like my Make Up. I was bored and thought I post some pictures of it [Scroll down if you want to know what products I used]. Plus I thought they'd quite fit into the theme of this post...

Now to the important stuff ;) 

M.I.A. finally released her new single & the video for "Bad Girls". YES! Everyone who knows me, knows that I love me some M.I.A. 

I ADORE the video! Putting females in that clothes is more than provocative, so is the whole video in combination with the song and location its shot in. I know some peep won't get it anyways -.- 

She is the definition of a true BO$$! Plus: Doing your nails on top of a BMW driving on two f*cking wheels? I salute her!

This is hands down the most original and best video I've seen in A LONG TIME! 

I have never seen any artist adopt the Islamic culture like that. 

To quote Necole Bitchie:  

"Her crew of  animal-printed-burka-wearing boss chicks take control of a desert racetrack, and show the boys how to really ride out in a beamer on two wheels." [Read her article by clicking here]

 

The video was directed by Romain Gavras and filmed in Morocco. "Bad Girls" is from her forth album set to drop this summer. You should def go get it... I know I will.

Yours, Lea.
