I am not the biggest fan of Lady Gaga, but I do see why people would like her – but I do like me some Beyonce.

Beyonce’s “Video Phone” video (featuring Lady GAGa) has withstood the pop cultural relevancy timeline and it is still as entertaining as the first time I blogged about it back in November 2009.
What many don’t know is that this video can be used in geography classes all over the world. Beyonce is a virtual teacher of [...]

It’s Thursday. It’s almost 2 p.m. you know what that means – it’s time for a high-energy dance break.

As much as they get played out, you can’t help but love B’s videos. They’re sexy. They’re entertaining. Best of all, they border that line of trashy and sexy with ease. In 2008, I think Kanye was right about “Single Ladies” was one of the best videos of the year (sorry Taylor Swift). But for [...]

In case you didn’t catch that, I coined the term “Gagyonce” in reference to the new body rolling collabo of “Video Phone” between the current queens of pop video and O.D. radioplay, Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
Yes, Gagyonce sounds like some sort of version of acid reflux, but I want you to spread it around like [...]

What do you get when you combine refreshing bottled “Alpine” water, my least favorite song from I Am…Sasha Fierce, Japan and lots of water park-like CGI? You get this:
How did I not discover this commercial sooner? It came out in March 2009 for crying out loud. More importantly, how can I get my hands on [...]

- I didn’t care about the H&M and Jimmy Choo collabo (pictured left) until I found out they also had menswear. Now I am actually considering shopping at H&M again.
- And there’s no other way to celebrate an H&M collabo by suing your mom. Yes, we’re talking to you Tamara Mellon.

Yes. We get it. Your mom has a clothing company. You can stop all of this nepotism-esque promoting now. And Mrs. Knowles – this sort of thing borderlines on child abuse/creepy pageant mom.
