Zip-Up Dress with Leopard Print Cuff & Collar

I loved the weight of this dress immediately. It's slinky and heavy, so it hugs just right.

The olive green color and leopard print cuffs and collar will look really good this fall.

It's up for bids until next Tuesday, click here to bid.

Up The Irons

How could today go by without recognizing a serious metal birthday to the Air Raid Siren himself. Bruce Dickinson is 50 today. I can hardly believe it, he certainly doesn't look 50.

I had (still do) a hot and heavy infatuation with ol' Bruce throughout the 80's. Forget the skinny, pale punk rock dudes (I'll retract that statement if anyone mentions Joey Ramone) I wanted a hairy-chested-and-not-afraid-to-bare-it, football playing, fencing, tight leather and stud wearing MAN who sings like no one else.

Seriously, Bruce's voice is incomparable and the music that Iron Maiden creates is a true gift to metal.

Happy Birthday, Bruce.

The Wall

Today in 1982, the film The Wall opened in New York. Starring Bob Geldolf and directed by Alan Parker, the movie is centered around the Pink Floyd album of the same name, and chronicles the life of a musician haunted by madness, drugs, fame and his past. It's trippy in the way that only a screenplay written by Roger Waters himself can deliver. I have plenty of memories of watching this flick as a teenager in the 80's with and without mind-altering help. Fabbo, and worth raising a glass in honor.

Holding Back The Years: Mick Hucknall

One of the most recognizable voices of the last two and a half decades, Mick Hucknall, singer for Simply Red is having a birthday this weekend (June 8th).

Known for his soulful voice and his locks of wild red curls, Hucknall has also been highly visible as a political supporter of the UK Labour Party.

In recent years, Mick has calmed his admitted womanizing, carousing, and partying to finally find the happiness he had been seeking with a wonderful woman and their beautiful daughter, which, glory be, has his lovely ginger locks.

Continuing his excellent contribution to the world of music, he recorded a solo venture Tribute to Bobby which pays homage to Bobby 'Blue' Bland by recording his own renditions of some of BB's classics. The album was released on May 19th 2008.

On Monday, Simply Red will release collectors editions of their albums Picture Book and A New Flame. They will do some concert dates together this summer, interspersed with Mick's solo shows supporting Tribute to Bobby.
