THE BRITS: .....NOT QUITE THE GRAMMYS

Here's some 'swagger like us' red carpet behaviour from last night's Brits Awards.

Some winners and some .....ooooh Lords!



M to the I-S-T....double E Q....the one Alesha!



Alexa Chung: Don't believe the hype.



Alexandra Burke: Look at the faces of the spectators in the background. Shall we say 'confused' sums up their sentiments. Let's not even start on the electric blue-sclerosis. She is way to excited to be at an Award show.



Calvin Harris: Sorry buddy, it doesn't work. Try again next year.



Duffy: The Queen on her throne. Fantastic night - so well deserved.



Estelle: Ish-No-Think-So!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Girls Aloud: This picture looks starved of genuine love but the girls are our treats and we feel these cocktail getups. So Big Up!



Last and intended to be the least, Kate Perry - errrr....why is she here?

STEPPIN' STONE

Duffy did us proud last night at the Brits Awards by winning a hat-trick. the 24-year old talent was the night's big winner scooping awards for best album, best British female solo artist and best breakthrough act.

We were very shocked that she didn't win a Grammy during the live televised segment considering how brilliantly strung together the songs on Rockferry.

She solidified her victory with a nice swear word on live TV during her third acceptance speech, she said: "I'm not going to lie to you, it's really not ------- easy. It's hard. It's really hard".

Thinking back, that is one serious album. 'Cop that!

LEGO: DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK

We are desperately trying to understand what this sudden obsession with LEGO (yes, LEGO - the multi-coloured building bricks that shaped most of your toddling years) in recent months is all about. From bags to wrist watches - LEGO has certainly made a comeback.

I'm personally looking forward to a LEGO-inspired condom. In the words of Lady GaGa, that'll be 'space cowboy....cherry cherry cherry boom boom'.

IF I COULD HIT THE SHOPS....

I'd buy, a pair of Ralph Lauren's Blucher Mocs. (www.ralphlauren.com)



I'd buy, a Cartier Skeleton Santos


I'd move to Moscow to wear Raf Simons' Fall 2009 overcoat


Perhaps get over my obsession of owning a pair of Church's brogues and opt for the Florsheim by Duckie Brown brogues for half the price

THUMBS UP OR ISH-NO-THINK-SO?

Wow....dilemma er....see what the team at the Renaissance Man are worrying about in today's age of a global recession.


Marc Jacobs and Kanye (the model above) have designed a pair of sneakers for the luxurious Louis Vuitton brand - I guess all kanye previous plugging finally paid off.

Our big dilemma is - does this look any different or better than a pair of Adidas Stan Smith?

Isn't this testimony that you can only design sneakers in some many ways - it don't have doodle to do with technology or creativity?

PULLING THROUGH

You didn't have to have seen last week's Grammys but chances are you heard from a friend, read a post-event review or witnessed highlights.

It was a great night for music and some exceptional musical treats. The question on everyone's lips were how would Jennifer Hudson handle the bundle of interest?

The answer simply is....

Watch her performance. This woman was born to have a story to tell.

PASTELLE

It must be one hell of a job to be Kanye West's publicist. I doubt if he or she actually gets any sleep.

As the Kanye news/ picture machine continues to roll, we received a press statement earlier which says Kanye will be focusing on his clothing label 'Pastelle' for the time being, hence don't expect an album drop in pending months.

The statement has some comic moments (I actually believe Kanye just takes the piss half-the-time during most press-related materials - he can't possibly believe all that he dishes out), he says he's ready to pour all his "superhero" energy into conquering fashion. Classic!

Love him or loathe him - He is Kanye.
