All that glitters is diamonds


Artist : Marina Diamandis "Marina and the Diamonds"
Ancestry : Greek
Music Genre : Pop (With a clever synthesism that is all of her own)

Marina and the Diamonds. It sounds more like a sexed up brigade of gypsies than a one woman show. Armored with a colorful, if not stunning voice, the Greek Marina Diamandis glitters. No one will be wary to embrace her. She artfully incoorperates quirky, original lyrics and leaves little space in tracks for the instrumentals to linger awkwardly. Her lyrics have a very broad spectrum, speaking about the stereotypes of women, one night stands, her concrete work ethic, fickle hollywood bimbos and yes, Hermit the Frog. The genre is pop, but it is so much more. This diamond will eternally shine.

I'm a journalist. I love people. I love blogging and reaching people. So, if you're interested, I have a project in mind. The first five people who "follow me". I would email you a set of questions interviewing you for you to answer. I would write a story about you if you like. If you still want to follow me but don't want to be written about, it's quite alright ;) But personality profiles are always quite fun. Especially with complete strangers. The offer always stands... ;) 




Coffee. Keyboards. Bitching editors breathing down your neck. What else is new? But I confess. I love it. Mostly every minute of it. 




Kounting Kristens

I love powerful ambitious intelligent and genuine women. KRISTEN STEWART fits this description perfectly. I love her. I love the roles she chooses. She's genuine intelligent fashionable, a brilliant actress, and of course, badass. She's everything most of these blonde bimbo idiots aren't--which in my opinion is fantastic. Kstew 4eva...

awesome. 
Ok. First of all, Twilight. Love it, hate it...I'm going to say neither. Because, 1. They could have done much worse with the casting. I liked it. 2. It made kristen stewart famous, benefitting us all with a breath of fresh air in the form of a brilliant new actress. It was ok; a good start for our heroin. 
The Yellow Handkerchief..if you haven't seen this movie, you really have to!! It's a touching independant drama. Kristen, (Martine) falls in love with the geekiest of outcasts (my favorite kind of outcast). The movie orbits around how the past can affect your future...but it has to be you who lets it go and start again.

 RAAAH!! This movie was sensational, and kristen stewart made it so. she was flawless as Joan Jett. You could tell she immersed herself into this role; she became this character. She was the voice of a pioneer. A pioneer of rock and roll, female impowerment. She was so powerful in her performance. It did change me, and if you watch it, it will change you.

This woman has been in so many more brilliant films. The Messenger, In the Land of women, 
Speak, Fierce people, Into the wild, and many more. Kristen Stewart has impacted the media with her films and her attitude. Let's pray that there are more like her still coming.

Dark Angel

You know her. You LOVE her. She is the epitome of the empowered woman. She carved the path for thousands of women to enter the music business and be taken seriously. I love her, and with her genuine ferocity and uniqueness, I wonder how anyone else couldn't. 
So beautiful. So powerful. So iconic. So...Joan.
