When he’s not dropping the hammer on the Air Force Reserve, Jack White keeps busy with a bevy of musical endeavors.

Quickly:

Third Man released a limited Black Belles seven-inch, which features a song Jack penned for this new all-female group he put together.
Jack recently signed a new band, Mildred and the Mice, which features female vocals from a woman that certainly looks a heck of a lot like his wife, Karen Elson (see below).
The Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll (and recent Jack White collaborator), Wanda Jackson, will be performing in NY tomorrow at the Knitting Factory.

The Modern Age Gets a Facelift

laura — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:00:08 +0000

Yes, I’ve had a little work done. I’ve been meaning to redesign the site for a really long time, but this time I actually did it. I’m quite pleased with the results.

I think the site looks cleaner, more colorful, and has a bit more personality.

The colors were inspired by this book cover designed by Paul Rand, and the design is a modified version of Fluid Blue.

Of course, the Obligatory Jack White Photo remains on the page, this time placed in the top right corner. Wave to everyone, Jackie!

Hope you enjoy the new look!

Agyness Deyn, Raquel, and More Models at V Magazine Party

laura — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 05:02:26 +0000

More eye candy for ya…

The weird space hill up on the Mini Space Roof… Images from V Magazine projected on the billboard.

Spencer Product spins while Agyness Deyn poses. A black one-piece with black silky turban, and impossibly high studded heels. Only she could pull it off!

Polish stunner Anja Rubik was wearing a leather jacket to keep her warm on the rooftop, but she tossed it off to show off her dress in the photo…

Lykke Li strikes a pose…

…then sings up a storm.

Raquel Zimmermann definitely knows her way around a camera. She turned it ON as soon as the camera started clicking.

More at V Magazine and YAG.

Gossip Girl Alert: Leighton Meester Hearts DVF, Blake Lively Hearts…RENT?

So I didn’t wake up today and say to myself, “Dude, you should totally be a paparazzi specializing in CW stars,” but it seems as though I ended up being one today… I just happen to spot almost all the major players in the cast of Gossip Girl! I was walking around the tent for Diane von Furstenberg at Bryant Park today and all of a sudden out the corner of my eye I saw a girl wearing yellow, and then a herd of people instantly swarming around her and her friend.

Walking closer, I recognized Miss Leighton Meester! I snapped a few photos, and then only later did I realize that the other girl accompanying her was none other than Jessica Szohr!

Then an hour or so later, I stopped by the Nederlander Theater (the home of the Broadway cast of RENT) for one last pass. (Today was the last performance of the show on the Great White Way. RENT RIP!)

As I’m standing there I hear people shouting “Luther! Luther!”…as in Luther Creek, a replacement ensemble member of the Bway cast of RENT who was infamous for having the worst “Mark” known to man. As everyone was screaming “Luther! Luther!” I noticed a pretty blonde walking toward him and realized it was none other than Blake Lively wearing a cropped black leather jacket and awesome wedges that had straps snaking up her foot. When I took a moment to stop staring at her perfectly wavy hair, I noticed the shlubby guy next to her was boyfriend and co-start Penn Badgley. Michelle Hurd, who plays Laurel was also there. Who knew they were theater fans?!?!

My Little Pony Dolls That Will Blow Your Mind

There is only one word to describe these custom My Little Pony dolls created by Finnish artist Mari Kasurinen.

That word, is EPIC!

WHY SO SERIOUS MY LITTLE JOKER PONY?

Hold me. “I can’t,” replied Edward Scissorpony.

The force is strong with Princess Leia Pony.
