Ashlee Simpson Style & Her Bittersweet World

Why has Ashlee Simpson had such a hard time in the music world? Thousands of answers spring up: Bad
luck, sibling rivalry, cosmetic surgery!

Gasp, the world is filled with haters, but when you catch a sneak peek of her newest to drop album this month, appropriately titled, Bittersweet World, who can hate the girl. Her tracks are pop dance explosions that will help any girl get through a day at work, commuting in traffic, or heartache. Her track titled, Boys, has been leaked to Youtube:

Well, Ashlee has gotten herself engage to Pete Wentz! Good luck with that boy!

Here is a quick spin through the entire album:

This morning she did an appearance on the Today show, which was less than fantastic. The album is more promising than this:

Here is the album version, much better, maybe it was just a case of more of her bad luck:

Love or hate her, Ashlee has got style & you've got to love her for being herself, which includes all the bad luck, plastic surgery, & family matters! Rock on, girl!

Madonna on the Making of Hard Candy

The countdown is on for Madonna's new album titled Hard Candy. Nothing is better than listening to a legend talk about the process of working with other mega stars like Justin Timberlake & Pharrel.

Here is one leak from the album titled Beat Goes On

Did you ever happen to watch the ultra student like film created by Guy Ritchie for BMW. The only saving grace is Clive Owen, perhaps the one of the best male actors working today. Here it is:

Listen to Modern Girl Style Radio

Do you Jango? Internet Radio is something that's been up and down over the last few years, but Jango, a social internet radio website, is simply wonderful! In August, I received a special invitation to try it out & I haven't stopped listening.

Modern Girl Style has set up two radio stations, one is pop music and the other station is rock. Listening is free,the music is awesome, sign-up & add Modern Girl Style as friend! Better yet, start your own station! The bottom line is have fun discovering more music, 100% commerical-free!

LCD Soundsystem Rocks YSL in Paris

I thought that Modern Girl Style might be one of the only girls to love LCD Soundsystem, but alas...YSL had the girls rock out in it's Fall 2008 show to, yep, LCD Soundsystem. But, don't forget that Modern Girl Style is more North American scum that YSL. What does that really mean?

Why not grab a handful of your favorite things and stage a fashion show just for yourself. Dance, saunter, and strut your way to a sexy new attitude. Let it out! When was the last time you got wild?!!

Music has always helped hearts to beat, skip, & heal. The 2008 Grammy Award Winner of Best Female Country Vocal Performance & rock goddess, Carrie Underwood, is there for hearts in any mood.

Here's a quick guide for a heart in any mood:

I Love the Waterfalls of NYC!

Like most of the millions of those that have Yahoo set as their start-up browser page, I was totally excited when I logged on this morning to learn that artist, Olafur Eliasson, has been commission by the City of New York to install four waterfalls at various bridges around the city. So, no...the waterfalls aren't in motion yet, but the plan is to have them built by this summer! Move over Christo! Here's a quick video on his installation, titled Sun, at the Tate Museum in London.

Eliasson's NYC art installation is being privately funded at an estimated cost of $15 million dollars, but the art installation is expected to bring in $55 million to NY in tourism. Isn't it wonderful that people still travel to experience art! It isn't the same as getting photos of art exhibits from magazines, newspapers, or, gulp, the web! This summer installation is going to be amazing. I'm already marking my calender! What am I going to wear?! I love packing for trips and I might be the only girl in the world that does. Here's a super quick retrospective of this Icelandic-Danish artist's work.

Looking through the Color Wave Tunnel (similar to the above photo)

 

I couldn't resist...I'm not the only girl (and heck, I'm a born & raised SoCal lady) that truly loves New York! Only Madonna could love NYC more than me...I guess you know who's rolling in this video clip!
