Fifty Shades of Grey and the two other books that are it's sequels are quite frankly, a load of bollocks.
The book provides no good to society and will not enlighten or brighten any of it's readers as it is, basically, an over-hyped porn book.
Why is it acceptable to glamourise and promote a cheap erotic novel for young girls everywhere to read? It really concerns me that society is headed in such away. Gone are the times that books like To Kill A Mockingbird or Moby Dick would be read.. Books with meaning or purpose.
Teen pregnancies? Underage sex? STIs? Who is really surprised when this load of trash is published and glamourised?
Today I have taken on the mammoth task of sorting out all my things for when I go to university. It has taken me around three hours so far and I've only sorted out my shoes and make-up...
SO, to get me motivated, I thought I'd listen to a classic, feel-good soundtrack - The Lion King Soundtrack!
Seeing as the good weather has passed and the rain is coming back, I thought i'd share the three best Lion King songs for you to enjoy, see if they can brighten your day too.
Number One - Hakuna Matata
Number Two - I Just Can't Wait To Be King
Number Three - We Are One
Remember everyone, you are NEVER too old to enjoy The Lion King!
I'm not one for television usually, I much prefer watching programmes when I want on my MacBook rather than having to wait to see selected ones when they're broadcast. However, today I found myself with a bit of spare time so with my dinner I sat down on the sofa and watched Come Dine With Me.
During the break, this fantastic advert was on. I love this 'Wallace & Gromit' style animation and who doesn't love a bit of reggae?
This reaches the market it's intended for in a brilliant way - it makes you think about it, talk about it and want the product.
Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of the currently popular female artists. Mainly, because most of them auto tune their songs to the max, and are only famous because they show their boobies and shake their ass. Unfortunately, we don't have the likes of Whitney Houston, Etta James or Aretha Franklin anymore.
HOWEVER, do not worry, because I have thoroughly thought about which current artists are deserving of this list. These artists will be rated on looks, talent and personality/media coverage.
This list, my friends, is the ultimate list.
NUMBER THREE
KATY PERRY
You heard right, Katy Perry. I know you may no expect it, due to the previous booby comment, but I think Katy Perry deserves to be in my list.
OVERALL SCORE: 11.5/15
Voice: 3.5/5
Although her voice isn't the best voice ever, I still quite like it. I think it is individual and pretty - and it's what the people want. There are plenty of mixed opinions about Perry's voice, some say it's annoying, some say it's beautiful. I say it's pretty and makes me happy when I listen to it. Top musicians may slate it, but the audience likes it, and we are the audience.
Looks: 4/5
Katy Perry is obviously quite a looker. I am not a fan of the questionable choice of colours her hair has been recently, but as a general, her long brown hair, pale skin, slender figure, clear complexion and gorgeous blue eyes is a great combination. It shows today's generation that beauty doesn't have to be about have bleached blonde hair or orange skin. I would say the classic English rose, but as she's American... classic American rose?
Personality/Media Coverage: 4/5
Perry's personal life is often on the front of magazine's, which could possibly giving her a disadvantage in this category compared to other artists who's personal lives are more private, however, there hasn't been too much undesirable personality attributes revealed. Despite her recent divorce to comedian and actor, Russell Brand, Perry appears to have kept her head high and maintained a strong work ethic and a bubbly and fun personality. Impressive.
This is one of my favourite Katy P songs, an inspiring song that can give you shivers. Enjoy!
NUMBER TWO
JESSIE J
It must be no surprise Jessie J has reached number two on the ultimate list of the top three current female music artists... if you are surprised - this is why she is...
OVERALL SCORE: 12/15
Voice: 4.5/5
Incredible. Just incredible. Jessie J can effortlessly hit any note and can bring her on twist to any song she covers, let alone to her own songs. She is exactly the kind of voice the music industry needs. For example, check this acoustic version of her hit song, 'Do It Like A Dude', with a slight Jacko vibe to it.
Looks: 4/5
Although she hasn't fallen to the modern skank look, she's still not the most naturally beautiful woman alive. However, what I respect about her look is that she works with what she has got. She knows what she's got and she extenuates all her good features to the maximum, showing the girls across the world that you don't like to be like everyone else to still be beautiful.
Personality/Media Coverage: 3.5/5
Due to her on-going heart problems, she is unable to drink, smoke or take drugs, Jessie admits she has no choice but to just be confident. She exudes charm, confidence and inner strength which are three admirable qualities. The main media coverage she receives is usually questioning her sexuality... but really, who cares?
NUMBER ONE
BEYONCE KNOWLES
Yep, that's right, the winner is the one and only, Beyoncé Knowles.
OVERALL SCORE: 14/15
Voice: 4.5/5
Distinctive. Powerful. Emotional. Three main attributes to Knowles' music. If you turn on the radio and hear her voice - you know it's her. Inspired by the likes of Janet Jackson and Tina Turner, Beyoncé brings real talent to the table in nearly all of her songs. Whilst we're on the subject of her voice, (obviously), I feel the need to share this video. This is simply recorded on an iPhone and is Beyoncé's bare voice. If you don't class that as talent, well.... yeah.
Looks: 5/5
No one can flaw Beyoncé's fantastic figure or beautiful face. She rocks the curves and lets every woman feel empowered, no matter what size they are. Her features are also flawless, looking good with a minimalist make-up look rather than the common "plastered" look stars such as Kesha and Lady Gaga go for.
Personality/Media Coverage: 4.5/5
Knowles, with her superstar husband, Jay Z, and the birth of their first child, Blue Ivy Carter, get a lot of media coverage. Surprisingly, Knowles is one the stars the media has decided not to rip to shreds. It becomes apparent she likes to keep her private life, well, private. She comes across generous, thankful, and caring in her interviews and the majority of media coverage. Is this a front? I think not, you may disagree.
But basically Beyoncé, you go girl!
To be continued with the TOP THREE CURRENT MALE MUSIC ARTISTS.
Recently, I did some modelling for the college I used to attend for my friend. Her name is Amy Robinson, and she hand-made each item of clothing I am wearing in the the following photos excluding the shoes.
Any favourites?
This is outfit number one and my favourite out of the four. It features a velvet shirt and silk trousers ending at the ankles.
This is outfit number two and I believe had the most work put into it. It's a long, evening gown. The chest and arms are made of a delicate lace material, the body of the dress is velvet with a zip to fasten at the back and the legs of the dress is a mesh material, although not very visible in this picture.
This is outfit number three. I have quite a long body so the top wasn't as complimentary as it would have been on another model. The outfit features velvet leggings and a lace cardigan as well.
This is the final of the four outfits created by Amy. A beautiful piece as I'm sure you'll agree.
The designer, Amy Robinson, has now left North Warwickshire and Hinckley College and is intending to study Fashion Design in Winchester this September.
