Amy Winehouse Dead at 27, Drug Overdose Suspected

Darkman — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 00:29:13 +0000

Amy Winehouse, the beehived soul-jazz diva whose self-destructive behaviors overshadowed a unique musical talent, was discovered dead Saturday in her London residence, authorities said. She was 27.

“Everyone who had been associated with Amy is stunned and devastated. Our thoughts are with her family and friends,” said Chris Goodman, a spokesperson for her publicity representatives. He said her family will probably issue a press release when they’re ready.

The British singer’s record label, Universal, confirmed her death on Saturday.

“We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of such a gifted musician, artist and performer,” the statement read. “Our prayers go out to Amy’s family, friends and fans at this difficult time.”

Her father, Mitch Winehouse, himself a musician, had just flown to New York to perform two shows at the Blue Note jazz club, but learned the news upon arrival and immediately flew back to the U.K..

Amy Winehouse Dead at 27

Winehouse shot to fame with the album “Back to Black,” whose blend of jazz, soul, rock and classic pop was a global hit. It won five Grammys and made Winehouse – with her black beehive hairdo and old-fashioned sailor tattoos – one of music’s most recognizable stars.

Police confirmed that a 27-year-old female was pronounced dead at the home in Camden Square northern London; the cause of death was not immediately known. London Ambulance Services said Winehouse had died before the two ambulance crews it sent arrived at the scene. An autopsy is scheduled for Sunday, TMZ.com reports.

Rockabilly Style: Dresses

Darkman — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 17:50:46 +0000

Rockabilly dresses, not always called rockabilly dresses, used to be the staple of the 1950’s wardrobe of yesteryear’s women. However in today’s modern world they are perfect for those that like the vintage look. Imagine yourself back in the day with the likes of the glamorous Hollywood stars such as Joan Crawford, Ava Gardner and Rita Hayworth. These dresses completely embraced the figure of women of that day and made everyone look fantastic. If showing off your curves and making everyone in the room stare then that style of dress is the perfect choice.

The Rockabilly Music Genre has a following that LOVES that style of clothing from yesteryear. It offers many different styles of dresses that include the lace dress, the 1950’s style halter, twirly dress, sweetheart dress and dinner dress to name a few styles, but there’s a style for every occasion.

The 1950’s style of clothing now known as the “Rockabilly Style”, has dresses that can be worn on a lovely warm summer day, so you look hot and stay cool at the same time. The dresses celebrate your curves without showing too much and leaving enough covered so there’s still some mystery left to the imagination. Rockabilly clothing covers all lines of clothing as well as the dresses; this would include purses, shoes and undergarments as well as the other side of the species: menswear.

Another of the styles of dress is the Trixie dress that is pulled in at the waist, haltered in the top and flowing in the skirt. This dress is a great vintage style dress that looks modern and is perfect for an afternoon BBQ or hootenanny.

Most of the retro or rockabilly style dresses follow the shape of a small waist and fuller skirt to emphasize a women’s beautiful figure. During this time curves were in and the majority of women look stunning in the rockabilly style dresses. Many of the dresses have Ribbons or Bows in bright colors that draw the eye to the figure. The prints used are usually small and compliment the style of the dress without overpowering the dress.

Hootenanny 2009, what a day!!!

Darkman — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 23:20:19 +0000

Hootenanny '09, what a day it was...

WOW…

Thats all I can say. The bands on Saturday were freaking outstanding, and the music just didn’t stop. One band after another, and the action just didn’t stop. I was there to photo the event for myself and for Golden Voice, The promoter of the gig, and I wanted to run around and see some of the cars, but it was just to hard to get away from the music! I mean the bands were playing for 30 minutes each except for the last 2 bands, the Revernd Horton Heat, and Los Lobos. So while I am trying to photo the first 3 songs, then run around and get pictures of everyone and then the cars, I was on the go non-stop the whole day. I have to go to class soon but I will add a gallery of images later tonight or tomorrow of The Hootenanny 2009. Wow, what a great show the bands all put on!!!
