Kaya

Beauty boy, grace, sexy, and elegance are the themes of Kaya, one of Japan's most prominent vocalists.

First gaining notoriety as the vocalist of the EBM phenomenon Schwarz Stein, Kaya embarked on a solo career starting in 2006. With song writers such as Hora (ex. Schwarz Stein), Kalm (ex. Velvet Eden), and Hizaki (Versailles), Kaya's songs have wide range from electronica, to EBM, to trance, to symphonic, and jazz. His vocal ability is unparalleled as he graces every song with his soulfully powerful, operatic singing that leave lasting impressions on those that hear it.

Velvet Eden - Dada & Kalm

Japanese darkwave/visual kei band Velvet Eden was founded in 1998 by vocalist Dada (the longest remaining and most influential band member) and keyboardist Kalm. Two years later, Kalm left the band and was subsequently replaced by two different generations of new members, although the debut lineup had the most distinct sound and image.

The band's ethereal sound, often compared to Depeche Mode, is accompanied by Dada's deep-pitched and frequently distorted vocals, along with hypnotic performance. Their song lyrics are based on a series of stories created by Dada, often from the point of view of one or more characters (which include a fortune teller, spiders, and a prostitute named Alice, among others). His explanation of these stories can be found translated to English here: http://www.lerman.biz/asagao/velvet_eden/storyline.php

The band ended in 2002 when Dada, said to be displeased with the more rock-styled direction in which their music had been turning, suddenly didn't show up to a live gig. No official statement was ever released. Other members took turns on vocals for a few shows, before renaming the band to The Velvet (which has also disappeared without official comment).

In addition to his work with Velvet Eden, Dada is also known for an earlier brief stint with the band Pride of Mind, in which he was credited as Yusuke Gotoh (which may or may not be his real name). He has contributed artwork to Dir en Grey, and is also widely recognized as a drag fetish/fashion model. Kalm has also been involved with several projects - most notably, composing for Kaya of Schwarz Stein (a duet which Hora, a member of Velvet Eden's second lineup, had gone on to) and other artists - some of his new work can be found on his official Myspace.

Lady Gaga futuristic!! the future is hers

The Pantless One was spotted in some sort of red and black leotard, paired with ripped fishnets, a black visor that covered her face and forehead, and a small video camera on her shoulder!

RIP - Alexander McQueen, i miss you

February 26/2010, St. Paul's Church was filled with pink, white and red roses as four pallbearers carried the coffin of the late, great fashion icon Alexander McQueen. Yesterday (February 25), more than 100 mourners paid their respects to the famous designer who went far too early at the young age of 40.


Among the fashion community who congregated in the Knightsbridge house of worship were Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Daphne Guinness, designer Stella McCartney, Steven Klein, Edward Enninful.


Afterward, a hearse wearing the designers real first name of Lee was spelled out in white flowers
A memorial service is planned for friends and fans for later this year. No date has been set.









 

Lady Gaga might have won all three Brit Awards she was nominated for Tuesday (February 16), but it was her avant-garde tribute and performance to late friend and British fashion icon Alexander McQueen that stole the show.

The star took to the stage in all white and sat at her piano before kicking off her performance with an acoustic version of her song "Telephone." "This is for Alexander McQueen," she told the crowd. The stage was decked out in white, and perched on a pedestal was a statue of what seemed to be Gaga wearing a piano skirt and the now-famous McQueen lobster-claw heels she wore in her "Bad Romance" video.

She then got up from her piano as the disco groove of "Dance in the Dark" boomed throughout the room. In her lace bodysuit and over-the-top bouffant wig, she took to a giant keytar and dazzled the crowd with a techno rendition of the track. She then listed off names of fallen icons like Sylvia Plath and Judy Garland.

The pop star arrived to the show dressed in a white dress and the same wig she wore onstage later that night. According to reports, Gaga retooled her whole performance to pay tribute to McQueen at the show.

She later tweeted, "Tonight's performance is inspired by our friend. Mask by Phillip Treacy, Sculpture by Nick Knight, Music by Lady Gaga. We miss you."

Last week, after news broke about McQueen's death, she tweeted a photo of the two of them as a tribute to her late friend.

Tim Burton: Alice in Wonderland

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Tim Burton believes author Lewis Carroll's 19th century story, "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland," screamed out for a 3-D film because of its surreal elements, or what the director calls its "trippyness."

Burton's movie "Alice in Wonderland" opens on March 5 as the next film in a line of highly anticipated 3-D movies that has Hollywood watching closely. The most recent 3-D film, sci-fi adventure "Avatar," has shattered box office records on its way to nearly $2.5 billion in global ticket sales.

Avril Lavigne seems to have left her punk-rock roots behind for her "Alice" video, instead exploring a more haunting and gothic world through the rabbit hole. And the video's director, Dave Meyers, said that video beautifully complements Lavigne's contribution to the "Alice in Wonderland" soundtrack.

MAC - Gaga & Cindy

Talk about getting glam for a good cause! Lady Gaga and Cindy Lauper were shot by photographer Ellen von Unwerth for V Magazine, where the blondes dished on their M.A.C. Spring 2010 campaign! Lady Gaga says, ““It’s quite awkward to be talking about my passion about the AIDS crisis and the gay community while doing my makeup but…Viva Glam!”

Lady Gaga "Q magazine"

Lady gaga and her enormous dildo cover Britain’s Q Magazine for April 2010.    

She explains:

“We all know that one of the biggest talking points of the year was that I have a d*ck, so why not give them what they want? I want to wear a d*ck strapped to my vagina.”

And so the magazine gave her what she wanted.

Giorgio Armani to Design for Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is known for her 'love it or hate it' fashion sense and it seems that designer Giorgio Armani has stationed himself firmly on the 'love it' side and designed several outfits for just for her to use on stage during her current concert tour. Shown here is one of the creations, a sparkling structured bodysuit with plunging neckline and exaggerated shoulders, and others include a floor-length black trench and a mini-dress with dramatic mirror effects. All the outfits are made with matching shoes and sunglasses, also by Armani, who was quoted on Lady Gaga as saying "In addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a modern fashion phenomenon."
