Angel’s Share

Uncategorized

Angel’s Share is a famous “hidden” bar behind a Japanese restaurant that is known for its well-mixed cocktails located in the East Village. Being such a small place, there are special requirements where there are no standing allowed and only groups of four or fewer will be seated. Although the special rules might not sound flattering at first, once customers are seated, they are rewarded with amazing cocktails and the view of the open place outside through the big window.2angelsshare3angelsshare

The New Cold and Edgy Sound of Rihanna

Music that Rocks

Rihanna is back with a new album, ‘R Rated’ with a 180-degree transformation compared to her third album, ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ released in 2007. The new single, “Russian Roulette’’ is a slow yet heavy song that emphasizes how a relationship could be a metaphor of a revolver in Russian Roulette, inevitable and sometimes deadly. It is Rihanna’s first album to come with a Parent Advisory warning label so don’t expect it to be like the sweet innocent sound of ‘Music of the Sun’ or the dance pop beat of  ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ because this ‘R Rated’ album stands by its name.riri

Shoulder Pads Larger than Life

Fashion Forward Celebs

Remember the blog earlier about big shoulders being the new trend? Lady Gaga is definitely taking it to the next level! She was wearing a jumpsuit and the super shoulder jacket (picture shown below) at a Best Buy store in Los Angeles. The size of that shoulder is probably bigger than a linebacker’s shoulder pad. Is she trying to make fun of the big shoulder trend or is she just really, really digging it? You decide!1124lady-gaga-shoulders-big_fa1124lady-gaga-shoulders-closeup_fa
