News Blast: Alexander McQueen (1969-2010)

My blog isn't about fashion at all. But when sometimes, heartbreaking things happen, we have to allow ourselves go off-topic.

I don't know much about fashion and it's own industry, but I knew Alexander McQueen. I knew his greatness and his prodigiousness and I knew who he worked for. It was his extravagance that caractherized many artists like Lady Gaga and Bjork.

When such personality defines a role of artists, it is my duty and my call to remember him. He worked not only with the artists I've previously mentioned, but also with others, including David Bowie and Rihanna.

He's death as caused a hole in our hearts, in the music and in the fashion industry and also in our society.

May you, dear Sir, rest in peace.

News Blast: Beyoncé's Show Ends With Gun Fight


Two days ago, at Beyoncé's last show in Brazil, a gun fight was held after police and a street gang opened fire on each other outside the show's venue.

Th 30,000 fans who were leaving the stadium, were obliged to look for cover as the police officers shot at gang members who had earlier strived for fans waiting for taxis.

Fortunately, this small (or big?) incident ended with no injuries.

DISCLAIMER: BLOG UPDATES

For personal reasons, reasons which are beyond my control, I haven't been able to update If No Will Listen for the last couple of days, leaving the blog post less.

My blog, this blog, is priceless to me, making me shred into tears when I can't take a Little time off to dedicate myself to it. As I'm writing this, I'm hurrying. Time is precious but also very slippy.

Please bear in mind that I'm making every effort I can to post, giving me no other choice than to make a promise: The posting will be back next week.

Love,

ChivasPuppet.
