There's a lot of artwork I enjoy and appreciate, so I thought I needed a good excuse to feature them every week. I chose Friday, and Fatty Feliux cleverly came up with the name "fritART" ;) So, I hope you enjoy Fridays at Mustart!
On Monday, the song Freak by Estelle was featured for Music Monday.
Yesterday, the music video was released. Since I liked the song, I thought the video would be good, too. Wrong. If you have not watched the music video above already, do so now.
In Monday's post, Fatty Feliux stated that "Estelle's back." Well, go crawl back into your hole, because you just produced the crappiest music video ever. To me, this looks like she is just trying to jump on the "Freak" bandwagon, trying to fit in with Lady Gaga and Rihanna. I think many people are missing the point--it's not about being a freak because it's cool, it's about being yourself.
This video is really just too random. And when you combine a video this random with a song called "Freak" in an era where the freaks are rising to the top, you know someone is trying hard. It's empty, and sometimes empty videos are good--especially when paired with some great choreography--and sometimes they end up being stupid, like this.
Estelles back! So is Kardinal Offishal (Canadian Musician, win!). With this oh-so-fabulous song, that has now gotten to me. Nedda Ebo sings it(along with old Madonna music) all the time, and its hard not to fall in love with the catchy beat...At first, I was a bit "Meh, its an alright song". But once Nedda sends you a song, she will consistently, and randomly sing it, and sing it, and sing it (get the point>). Eventually, your brain gives in. In fact, Nedda's probably doing a victory smile behind the computer screen as she reads this.
I can be a freak. Yeah I can be a freak. Can you be a "Freak?" I know Nedda Ebo is.
Just saw these on Gary Card's Blog!
Please check his blog out and follow him as well. He's very talented. :)
Anyway, so yeah, these are LOUIS VUITTON FREAKIN MANNEQUINS for Love Magazine!
Having an obsession with mannequins, I would pay more than I probably should for these.
I especially love the first two!
Once again, please check out Gary Card's blog here.
But what is the point of having designers make olympic clothes that look like the sweaters in Walmart catalogues?
Left: Dsquared for Canada; Right: Ralph Lauren for USA
I do not understand.
I could have designed those sweaters, and no one would really care, because I'm not a famous designer. I mean, it doesn't take much innovation for THAT.
It drives us. It makes us more determined to beat someone. It's evil, and can usually turn to become flat out vile. It's sometimes a pain. A grudge. A ticking bomb waiting to explode. It makes you want to scream. Want to stop. It sometimes deludes you. Changes your way of thinking. Should I play fair? Or dirty. Do I really want this for myself? Does the other person want it more than I do? Am I really worth it? CAN I beat them? My country depends on me. My team depends on me. My family depends on me. My coach, my friends. But do I depend on myself?
What does it take to be an Olympian? Do you have to be mentally stable as well as physically? Could you really face your countries wrath if you lose? Or if you win, their ever-so-elated hugs and congratulations? Could you take the fame that comes with a win, or the scrutiny that comes with a loss? Would you, after 4 years of intense practice, grueling 7 hour days, and injuries unknown to the typical, be able to run through your event easily? Or will it be hard. Will all the thoughts running through your head make you screw up, or victorious? Will the weight of your country on your shoulders make you more determined to come out on top, or will you fall to the bottom.
The 21st Olympic Winter games are sadly coming to a close, and in less than 1 hour the fate of the Canadian hockey team will be put on the line. Will they beat Team USA in the game of the year? Or will they once again, fall too short.
Not a summary of any certain show, 'cause let's face it, I'm too lazy for that, and fashion is not my forte, but that doesn't mean I can't pick out a few things I like and share my thoughts on them with you, right? ;D
So let's proceed. ;)
To the left (to the left, everything you own in the box to the left!) that is Matthew Williamson. Honestly, what can I say? I'm a sucker for neons. Albeit, it is the easiest way to make a statement, really...but nonetheless, neons never cease to make me drool. <3 Hearts for neons!
Filmed in Vancouver (CANADA, WOO), Vanessa Hudgens breaks out of her highschool-musical-disney-loving self and stars in the romantic/thriller film with Alex Pettyfer.
Who, might you ask, is this scruffy bon bon? Well, to answer your question, its Dave Franco. Younger brother of the notoriously known evil villian in Spiderman played by James Franco. He's in the new issue of Details mag (One of my favourite magazines ever, as they seem to have drool-material photos). So pick it up on Newstands and lovely bookstores across the NA!
Oh, by the way readers, Nedda and I currently reside in Canada, therefore we spell things the Canadian way... with unnecessary "u"s. I thought I'd warn you from now.
For the detail oriented ones here, we've put up a new header, with the ever so clever "Mustart" logo. We spent out Friday night dressing up an obnoxiously yellow mustard bottle because we want this blog to work out. SO...If you read this blog, and happen to like it, then what harm will it do ya to follow or possible advertise us on your own blog? We're likely to do the same (I swear, we don't bite).
Today's Monday, so we're going to do a "Music Monday" thing, kind of like the twitter craze. Except here at Mustart, Justin Bieber doesn't trend.
So the song for today....
EGO- The Saturdays I'm sure we all know someone with a big.. uh-huh, EGO.
