The Rise Of The Micro Bag

4/21/2017

Your fav has been steadily translating the Vogues he has purchased in Espana in order to bring you fashion advice from the opposite side of the Atlantic, and I think I have finally found a trend I can stand with. Or at the very least bring to you in confidence.

Micro bags can't fit your iPhone 6, they might be good for a tube of lipstick and your house keys, but they are certainly not the practicality of a Birkin Bag. Their being worn by Chiara Ferragni, Helena Bordon, and Nicole Richie to name a few celebrity trend setters.

The bag might be good for a night out on the town (especially if it's just the red carpet), but more importantly their an accessory. You can always add decorate your bigger purse, with it's mini cousin, or use it as a pop of color. Practicality isn't its purpose, but neither is the high heel. Options from Hermes, Chloe, Valentino, and Fendi show it's place within high fashion.

I found a blog I enjoy reading.

This is ground breaking. If you've been a dedicated Bubble Righted reader you know that I don't really talk about other bloggers I like. The only one I stand for hardcore is Cherie Cheezcake, because she's a queen. It's not that I don't want to talk about other bloggers it's that I don't really know how to find other blogs. But, I actually found a blogger I enjoy reading.

Picture it. It's about August 31st and I'm going through my twitter feed and I see that Havana Brown is talking about her song “Battle Cry”. I'm fan girling of course. This song is fucking amazing. I am living. I am living for the video.

Buy "Battle Cry"

If you didn't know that I'm obsessed with Havana Brown, I'm sorry that I have let this slip by. She is sexy. She is talented. She's my favorite Australian next to Olivia Newton-John. She's amazing. I featured her in an article I did called “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life” (read here) and I reviewed her album Flashing Lights (read here).

So, it's really not surprising that Havana Brown has brought me to another blogger. You don't understand there is a strong possibility that I'm studying abroad during the spring semester and my top reason for picking Australia is so I can see Havana Brown doing a club set, on tour, whatever. She's a goddess.

This blogger Nick Tredrea reviewed her song and it was a short little piece, but all of his reporting was on point. So, I was like why not read more of his blog. I ended up reading every single thing over the course of two days. It was a holy experience if I'm being brutally honest.

The only time I was a little side eyed was when I couldn't tell if he was throwing some shade at Madonna. My blog might as well be renamed madonna.com. You know I'm obsessed, but I said to myself he's promoting Madonna. And, I decided not to be crazy and let it go.

I think my favorite thing about his blog is his fashion articles. It's something I want to do on this blog, but I don't. I love fashion. I read my Vogue from cover to cover every month. I enjoyed his fashion commentary. I'm actually just obsessed with his blog.

Follow his Instagram here

I would like to imagine that this is what my blog would be like if I was Australian, but it would not be nearly as entertaining.

He also has a YouTube channel. Right now there's only a few videos. I don't know what the posting schedule is. I think it's funny. I really enjoyed it. It's certainly better then mine.

Subscribe to his YouTube channel here:

I have already pinned his blog to my task bar. I've subscribed to his channel, followed his twitter (which is extremely entertaining), and followed his instagram.

Needless to say I think I've already fan girled up.

Whoroscope

6/12/2015

Horoscopes are completely full of shit, but that doesn't stop me from finding out what my Taurus self is up to. I check it in the newspapers when I'm visiting my grandparents. I get supremely annoyed when I can't find it in Cosmopolitan. Last month's accurately predicted that I would be busy with work throughout June.

I realized that I am witty and charming. However, divine inspiration for today's article came from Kacey Musgraves (Yes, Same Trailer, Different Park Kacey Musgraves). In her song “Follow Your Arrow” she tongue in cheek remarks that “If you don't save yourself for marriage you're a whoreable person”. So, instead of “horoscopes” we have “whoroscopes” to fit my tendencies better.

Buy "Follow Your Arrow"

I used horoscopes to flirt with someone before. Actually, you can't call it flirting. It was more a conversation piece. I got this horoscope that told you what female singer you were. I got Lana Del Rey. I was just so glad I didn't get Meghan Trainor.

But, I thought it was so funny how I got Lana. I was like does this mean I want to fuck my father? I thought this was charming little anecdote and I used it. To be fair I did get a little laugh out of it. I've actually used this horoscope so many times. So many people who know me must be like was he flirting with me? No, sweetheart. I have standards.

Horoscopes are just fun things to play with. Enjoy. Revel in. Some people are such fun suckers and they refuse to enjoy a good horoscope. We are not talking about building your life around your daily horoscope. But, did it end up that badly for Jennifer Lopez in Monster In Law? No. She got a sexy doctor, the day her horoscope told her she would find love.

One day I was just going through all the horoscopes I'd found on tumblr with some people and we had the most fun. Laughing at how ridiculous some of them and how accurate some of them are. If you ever want to find my horoscopes on tumblr there's a search button on the top of my tumblr page. Just put in 'Taurus' and it will come right up. I tag all of my horoscopes with my sign.

“I'm no virgin or no virgo”
- truth from Kesha

For a while I thought I was an Aquarius and by a while I mean a few years. My parents are very religious and my Zodiac sign was not high on their priority list of things to teach me. I think I wanted to be an Aquarius so bad, because being an unnoticeable if sturdy car was really not my thing. Now I embrace my tauruship.

The Rebel Heart Review

3/13/2015

It should come as no surprise that there is a special edition of Friday Favorites on the Madonna album that just dropped this week. Now, if you didn't know Madonna was dropping this album. I don't know where you have been. My blog might as well be renamed “madonnna.com”

Of course I bought Queen M's latest release, her 13th album. I spent far too much money on it. I got the super deluxe edition and $30 down and two hours later I have finally finished listening to a masterpiece. At the end of the year I do reviews of every album I've bought released during that year. It gives time to really live with the album, but I know this is going to be one of my favorite releases so far.

Critics have been calling it a perfect blend of what MDNA and Hard Candy were not. These were the two albums Madonna previously released. I love both of these albums and it always annoys me when people talk bad about them. These albums are almost always described as a desperate attempts to remain relevant. The point of a pop star is being relevant. I don't understand the criticism.

I disagree with the assertion that this album is the culmination of what these two albums failed at. I really like Rebel Heart. It does run long with at over seventy minutes if you get the deluxe edition. It is ballad heavy, but the ballads are good. A few more frentic Diplo numbers would not be something I would be opposed to, but the record as a whole is solid.

This album proves that you should not listen to leaks. I only listened to the first two leaked tracks “Wash All Over Me” and “Rebel Heart”. “Rebel Heart” is better for all the changes (and as of right now is the most played song I have off the album) and although “Wash All Over Me” has a stronger emotional impact now, a part of me misses the demo's euphoric Avicii inspired break down. I do think the final version of “Wash All Over Me” is superior to the demo however.

It will be hard to escape Madonna in the following months. Her tour starts off this August and in the meantime she'll be performing “Living For Love” and most certainly “Ghost Town” to get one radio hit off this record that is full of memorable moments. She's doing an entire week on Ellen starting this Monday.

Buy "Living For Love"

Buy "Ghost Town"

There are very few songs on this album I would call misses, “Veni Vidi Vici” would be one of those. It's cringe worthy references to past hits is too much for a hardcore fan, but is still expertly crafted. Her song “Vogue” has once again been interpolated into a song (remember one of the final moments of “Deeper and Deeper) with an inclusion in the sexually explicit “Holy Water”.

I think that the deluxe edition is the version of this album you should buy. The standard ends on “Wash All Over Me”, which although a solid song does not anchor the album quite the way “Rebel Heart” does as a closing track.

If you love Madonna the way I do, of course you need the Super Deluxe edition, but you also didn't this article to remind you that the Queen is back. The Super Deluxe edition comes with a second disc of four new songs and two remixes of “Living For Love”. Similar to the way the MDNA album was set up. She is planning on tying ticket sales for the Rebel Heart Tour with the purchase of the album and that might be a more effective way of going about buying this album.

Buy the Standard

Buy the Deluxe

Buy the Super Deluxe

And, if I had to rate on a scale of 1 to 5 Bubbles, I'd give it a 4. Just a ½ bubble more then the rating Rolling Stone awarded it.

That Dollar Sign

1/23/2015

I was out to dinner. Actually you can't call it dinner. It wasn't dinner. It was breakfast. I was at the always glamorous IHOP with Sacajawea. We decided to visit her boyfriend after watching The Breakfast Club with Rosencrantz.

Rosencrantz had other plans. She had to go out to dinner with her father or something. That's disgusting. I might be projecting. Spending time with my parents is always a joy.

As comes up in dinner conversation, I mention how attractive I think A$AP Rocky is (not to be confused with A$AP Ferg). Sacajawea's boyfriend hardcore judges me and she informs me that her parents would freak out if she brought him home. To be fair my parents who probably die. Half of my family would disown me, it wouldn't go well.

On the bright side. I'll never meet A$AP Rocky. And, if I did. I would not be good for his image. This boy is ratchet, but I love it. I don't know. I just feel like he's intelligent and can hold good conversation. He dresses well and if my parents could get past him being black, I'm sure they still wouldn't be fine.

Now, I have not invested in A$AP Rocky's debut album Long. Live. A$AP however I did read some reviews and it got rave reviews from the critics. I would have bought it, but I'm broke. I worked like two days one week and I had that few hundred dollar ticket. Christmas killed me. Had to buy textbooks. Timing was just not right to invest in A$AP. I will be, though.

I watched the videos to all of his singles for Long. Live. A$AP and his new single for his upcoming album. I was really not a fan of the first single “Goldie”. It was okay, but it was not life. The video was really cool, though, although I was not a fan of his grill- if that's what you call it. It just wasn't for me. But, I like the video it was all set in Paris and he was jamming out with this boy in his car and I liked it.

Buy "Goldie"

The next single was the big, breakout hit for him. It's “Fucking Problems”. Can we just talk about how every time I am shocked by how many times they could fit fuck into this song. I can't even. This song had everything. Drake got into it and you know he made that song “Tuesday” a hit. Then 2 Chainz came in and I just think 2 Chainz is adorable. Kendrick Lamar had a few verses. He's critically acclaimed. I heard his debut album. I was not a fan, but I think he's a good rapper. I just don't appreciate him coming for Nicki Minaj. Like excuse you, you rude ass bitch. This is Nicki Minaj, you better act like you know.

Buy "Fucking Problems"

You might know the follow up single “Wild For The Night”. I did not know it. I really digged it. I liked how A$AP spoke Spanish in the video and I was like is he actually bilingual. I've always said rappers are some of the most intelligent people. They don't get enough credit. People say all they talk about is sex and drugs and I'm like do you mean Rock n Roll? Or pop music or any genre of music. I do feel like some of the criticisms of hip hop are rooted in prejudice and racism, instead of an actual reason.

Do you remember when Lil Wayne caused waves when he rapped “beat that pussy up like Emmett Till”. Now if you're like me you didn't remember that Emmett Till was an African American brutally murdered for flirting with a white woman back in the fifties. That was an incredibly intellectual reference. Now whether it was appropriate or not is another story. But, it still stands that it was intellectual of Lil Wayne.

Now I feel like “Wild For The Night” could have been a hit if A$AP Rocky hadn't pushed it into harder hip-hop. He had Skrillex on it. You know Skrillex is that underground DJ. This could have been a major crossover for him. But, I respect his decision to stay with his roots and I really like the song anyway. So, Kudos to him .

Buy "Wild For The Night"

The other single “Fashion Killa” had Rihanna in the music video. No explanation needed for how great it is. I need Rihanna to date A$AP for me. If I can't have him. Someone else needs to. And, I want it to be someone like Rihanna. Someone who is up to the standards of me.

Buy "Fashion Killa"

His latest single for his yet unnamed sophmore album is called “Multiply” it's got Juicy J on it. You know he's always there for a good time. I'm here for it. I will be buying the new A$AP Rocky album. I really like him. He also did a guest spot on the Tinashe album, Aquarius, with “Pretend”. But, that's something to check out if you want.

He's really cute, so there's that. Anna Wintour has put him in Vogue. That boy looks fine as hell in it. I have that issue. It is good. I am just here for him all around and I will not be judged for liking him. A$AP Rocky can take my body.

Also you should know that there were rumors that he was gay. I didn't know about them, but Sacajawea informed me of them. I thought you should know. They aren't true. If they are, we probably won't have confirmation until he's not relevant. You know how music in general is and hip-hop does have a lot of misogynistic tendencies. A rapper cannot be gay and be successful at this time.

I mean Sam Smith sneaked it in on us after three hit songs. He was like by the way I'm gay. If America is one thing, we like to pretend like we're not bigots. People don't even talk about the fact that Sam Smith is gay. It's not because it's not a problem, it's because if we don't talk about it. We can just pretend he's straight.

I tell people all the time and they're surprised. People do not talk about it. This is good for Sam Smith. It's out in the open and he had one of the best selling albums of 2014 with In The Lonely Hour. And, “I'm Not The Only One” is eating up the charts. Go you Sam Smith. Kill it.

If anything A$AP Rocky is probably bisexual, but it seems like you can only be straight or gay. We also like to ignore the fact that bisexuals exist. That's annoying. In the mean time I'm just going to keep enjoying looking at A$AP Rocky and love him whatever he decides. Because, his sexual orientation is irrelevant to me liking him.

Side note that he was in Lana Del Rey's music video for “National Anthem”. He plays John F. Kennedy. So, that's totally normal. And, speaking of Sam Smith he did do a remix of “I'm Not The Only One” that features a rap from A$AP Rocky.

Buy "National Anthem"

Can you imagine if A$AP Rocky and Sam Smith were a thing. I like Sam Smith, but I just don't want to think about him having sex. Like no. Just stay cute and adorable. And, I'll pretend like you're not having good sex with my celebrity crush A$AP Rocky.

Let me apologize.

Coco Peru, I do not know what happened, but when I was writing for my former blog, the last article I wrote was a Friday Favorites. In it I talked about you, Havana Brown, flashbacked to when Nelly Furtado was doing “Promiscuous”. It was a great little post.

I don't know how long ago it was, but it was probably three, four weeks ago, I was going to link to my final post on my former blog. You all were going to get two Friday Favorites from me. It was going to be glorious. Yet, tragically they did not post my final article. I do not know why. They didn't replace it with anything, from what I can tell they haven't replaced me.

Because, yes I shamelessly stalked the entire blog after I found this out. I can't believe they didn't post my official resignation from the blog. I guess they really didn't want to be associated with me anymore. So, I'm just sorry that you didn't get double exposure that you deserve.

To everyone who doesn't know, Coco Peru, is a drag queen most well known for her segments on YouTube. I believe her real name is Garrett Watts, but that is just supposition on my part, since the YouTube channel that posts the Coco Peru videos is called Garrett Watts.

This is one of my few YouTube obsessions. I go hardcore for Tyler Oakley, Superfruit, Wilam's Beatdowns, RuPaul's Driving, Candidly Nicole, and Miss Coco Peru.

I truly am the worst person to ask about things about YouTube and the blog world. Tyler Oakley can go hard on youtubers to watch, I read one other blog. The Naked Nerdy Blogger run by this fantastic burlesque dancer Cherie Cheezcake. You should get into it. It's fabulous.

I'm not even sure if I'm doing this blog thing right. That's how little I know about blogs. Of course I know Perez Hilton, the big names, but I am not deep in this world. At this point, though, Perez Hilton's blog is basically his job. That boy posts all the time. I cannot keep up with all of that. Any diehard Perez Hilton fans, I bow down to you. I wish I had that kind of commitment.

There's not really a good way to describe Coco Peru and her antics. Some of you are going to hardcore judge me for loving Coco Peru so much. It's my reasons for loving her, though. I just think she's so incredibly funny and some of you are not going to connect with that. Coco Peru has this dry form of wit. That's just funny. It's not said in a humorous way, it just straight to the point, and you die.

Maybe, British comedy is a good way to describe Coco Peru. Take Cara Delevingne, she recounted this story in the July issue of American Vogue where she says her grandfather said “My trousers are yellower than my teeth.” She laughs and adds “he's a very funny man”.

That is not funny to me. You know just watch one of the videos and know that your favorite blogger is obsessed. Really if you've thought any of these gifs or photos are funny. You'll probably like Coco.

Also if you ever want to get Coco Peru's attention, she is just as shameless as Tyler Oakley. Tag him on tumblr or twitter and he's going to favorite that tweet. And if it's funny he's going to hit reblog so fast.

If you enjoy Coco check her out on Twitter and Tumblr.
