Raid Her Wardrobe: Lourdes Leon

Like mother, like daughter…

Being the daughter of pop royalty/style icon Madonna, it’s no wonder that Lourdes Ciccone Leon is transforming into a stylish young girl.

Spotted at a premiere with her mother-both wearing lacey numbers from the D&G SS10- we couldn’t help but think “wow”. That soon turned to jealousy when we realised she’s only 13-years-old! She looks amazing.

Desperately Seeking Susan: Madge in the 80's

Her whole look screams ’80’s Madonna’ (especially with the lace ) but without looking like she’s going to a fancy dress party, result.

In the above photo, Lourdes is seen wearing lace, a biker jacket, studs and lace-up boots: all trends which have rolled over from last year. So I hope you haven’t thrown any of the above out!

If you have or if you didn’t have the items in the first place don’t worry, we’ll help you…

Since we can’t quite afford the D&G look, here’s how you can steal her style without breaking the bank.

Straight off the Catwalk...

Leather Look Biker Jacket @ New Look NOW £25.00

Nude Lace Tutu Dress @ Miss Selfridge £45.00

Layered Rope Necklace @ New Look £10.00

50 Den Tights (black) @ Topshop £4.00

Clint Leather Worker Boot @ ASOS £75.00

Stud and Stone Pleated Clutch @ Warehouse £25.00

Is Lourdes one to look out for in 2010? Or do you think she’s dressing too “grown up” for her age?

Frida Kahlo & Sock Monkeys

Sock Monkeys Rule

I love painting and drawing Frida Kahlo.  I’m working on some very large images of Frida Kahlo with sock monkeys! I  love sock monkeys! Monkeys period! Frida is so often seen with monkeys in her own self portraits.

In Chinese astrology I’m a “Fire Monkey”…I definitely feel that I am! The past 3 months I started making sketches and watercolors of Frida with sock monkeys to prepare for a few larger pieces that are more realistic. I’m also working on a  painting with Frida as Alice In Wonderland and Diego by her side as Twiddle-Dee…he looks so much like Twiddle Dee to me! It makes me laugh. I have a cartoon of tthem I did way back  and I’ll post it as soon as I unpack it! Very funny!

I have many paintings online you can see of Frida Kahlo. Most are posted on www.flickr.com/theartangel/

I also have an etsy shop and often sell my original cartoons & paintings. I hope you’ll visit me!

The Green Lanter Movie Trailer 2010 - A Fan Made Video

TheGreenLanternMovie youtube channel created this fan made video of what he wants to see in a theatre near you!

Creativity is a wonderful thing:)

Amazing movie!

The Green Lanter Movie Trailer 2010

***THIS IS A FAN MADE TRAILER***of jaronpitts

This is my vision for a Green Lantern movie with Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan. He won’t be Hal for real, but all the more reason for a fan trailer!

For the record, I did this purely for fun, with NO intention of “fooling” anyone or covering the fact that I used clips from other movies.
The whole point of it for me was to imagine what it would be like to see a great Green Lantern movie.

Shots I adapted from the following movies, tv shows, and trailers:
Planet of the Apes
Serenity Trailer
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Stardust Trailer
The Lord of the Rings – The Fellowship of the Ring
Firefly
Dragonball Evolution Trailer
Galaxy Quest
The Fountain Trailer
Superman Returns Trailer
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Smallville
Justice League TAS
GI Joe Trailer
Contact
Star Trek Enterprise
Star Wars Episode III
The Mutant Chronicles Trailer
Iron Man
Star Trek Trailer
Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe Cutscene
The Chronicles of Riddick
Kamen Rider
Bedtime Stories
MIB 2
Escape from Witch Mountain Trailer
The Matrix Revolutions
The Chronicles of Narnia – Prince Caspian
White Noise 2

Special Thanks to Mike Afford for a few brief clips from his Fan Trailer including the final logo:

I used Adobe After Effects and Photoshop to manipulate the original clips, and used Final Cut Pro to edit it all together.

I would like to give major credit to Andrew Kramer from
http://www.videocopilot.net, who (via tutorials) taught me everything I know in After Effects and I would not have been able to do most of this without that. I’m more of an editor than an effects guy, so thanks Andrew!

Also, thanks to WormyT for the inspiration to do this again!

Zbrush Forum Artists: Gnom, rinals, BladeFlush & Muyu for character model bases (for Tomar-Re & Galius Zed) Logo design by Lepios.

Voice Audio clips from Superman: TAS, Justice League TAS, The Batman, Battle for Terra Trailer, Justice League: The New Frontier, and The Lord of the Rings.

The music is “Forces of Destiny” and “Freedom Fighters” by Two Steps from Hell.
You may recognize “Freedom Fighters” from the the recent “Star Trek” trailer.

Celebrity Trainer Secrets

It’s January and once again you have a laundry list of resolutions.  See enough pictures of A-listers looking fabulous and fit and you may think they get paid to look that way by spending hours on the treadmill. But you can get the same star-quality body without logging hours at the gym or spending big bucks. Get the fitness secrets of stars with a motivating look at their workouts and some advice from their personal trainers.

What do Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Courtney Cox and Kate Hudson all have in common? Amazing bodies.  However, these A-list ladies also turn to the same woman for help keeping their svelte figures.

Celebrity fitness trainer Tracy Anderson shapes bodies by creating small yet lean muscles. Anderson’s customized regimens allow any woman to attain the body of their dreams with unique moves and high repetitions. No time for the gym? Feeling lazy? No worries. Anderson’s method also includes a simple routine that you can follow at home with a towel. You can learn how to do her “Under Arm Flab Fighter” move below.

Don’t live in NYC or LA to get to one of Tracy Anderson’s studios? Try some of  her methods yourself with Tracy’s online websiodes.  Dance addicts can check out Anderson’s Perfect Desgin Series-Sequence I and Dance Cardio 2 at andersonmethod.com.

How does Vanessa Hudgens get this body?

Love Pilates? Enjoy the challenge of boxing? Piloxing is a creative workout in LA and everyone from Hilary Duff to Vanessa Hudgens . Ashely Tisdale also takes advantage of Piloxing’s stress-busting routine. Piloxing creator Viveca Jensen has been making women sleek and sexy with her inventive fusion of Pilates and Boxing that enables you to feel powerful and strong. Take advantage with her DVD and try Piloxing at home.

In some other countries, Jessica Alba would be a freak of nature with her picture perfect looks and her ability to keep her incredible figure in tip top shape. Even after the birth of her daughter Honor, she whipped herself back into shape under the strict supervision of her trainer, Ramona Braganza. How did she do it?

Braganza told People magazine that after the birth of her baby “She worked out an hour a day, five or six days a week, and stayed on a strict diet of about 1700 calories a day, losing 600 calories because of exercise.” Braganza is also responsible for getting Halle Berry and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz back into post-baby shape.

Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio is known for her amazing assets and her body defies gravity with a little help from Brazilian trainer Leandro Carvallo. Carvallo’s new DVD Brazil Butt Lift takes all the same moves he created for Alessandra. This DVD is an amazing regimen of cardio-sculpting moves taken from martial arts and ballet which help you get your butt firm and tight. Carvallo also has some tips on preventing bloat and keeping yourself healthy. His magic potion? Homemade Ginger tea. Just slice half a ginger root and boil. Cavra

Our body gets a lot of little infections inside of it in the organs, muscles and tissues. Those infections won’t let you lose weight. Ginger is a natural antibiotic that can take those infections away. 
Have 2 cups of ginger tea a day. Slice a half of a ginger root and take to boil. That’s all it takes!

Enjoy your ginger tea!

Song list for all-Madonna episode announced

Why hello there, Miss Material Girl

MadonnaTribe News has exclusively learned the 10 songs that will be featured in the upcoming all-Madonna episode on Glee, to be aired this coming April. The list is a solid mix of Madge hits old and new, but if you’d like to remain unspoiled, don’t click the “read more” button below! The full list of songs is waiting for you behind the jump…

Borderline
Open Your Heart
Burning Up
4 Minutes
Crazy For You
Like A Virgin
Like A Prayer
What It Feels Like For A Girl
Vogue
Express Yourself

Almost every song that I was hoping for has made the cut, so I’m getting super excited for this episode! I’m quite confused by the absence of “Material Girl” though – it’s just such a quintessential Madonna track. So now the question remains: Who will be singing what? I don’t have guesses for them all yet, but I think that it’d be awesome to have Rachel singing “Like A Prayer,” Mercedes singing “Express Yourself,” Kurt singing “Vogue,” and Emma singing “Like a Virgin.” Other guesses, fellow gleeksters?
