J Brand Designs David Bowie-Inspired Denim

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 04:00:08 -0700

J Brand and LA designer Henry Duarte are teaming up to bring you some rockin' denim. Three low-rise skinny jeans, due out in December, are inspired by David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust album. Cool! The jeans, retailing for $250, have details such as exposed zippers, topstitching, and Duarte's signature lace-up front. "I wanted to combine my signature details with the simplicity that J Brand is known for, while keeping the jeans wearable and affordable," said Duarte. Sounds good, can't wait to see them live.

Love It or Leave It: TV on the Radio Covering Bowie's "Heroes"

BuzzSugar — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:30:49 -0800

Normally, I'm nowhere near as fond of a cover as I am of the original song (few people are, I'd wager). Usually they just sound like cheap knockoffs. So I expected little of TV on the Radio's cover of David Bowie's "Heroes," and maybe that's partially why I liked it so much. It's different from Bowie's but familiar enough to not destroy the memory of the original. Also, I'm intrigued by the fact that Bowie himself chose both the band and the song of his that they should cover for the title track of this benefit album of covers.

Take a listen and tell me: Do you dig it? Or not so much?

FabSugarUK — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 02:00:00 -0800

This song is full of personal sentiment for me as it has been sung at me on more than one occasion due to my love for fashion! David Bowie was a style icon for many years, particularly as his stage persona Ziggy Stardust. Rest assured I will be humming this song for the rest of the day now!

Justin Timberlake took the stage with Alicia Keys last night at the Keep a Child Alive party in NYC. JT revealed he's "not sure" if he wants children of his own but did talk about moving to Manhattan soon. He said, "It's the greatest city in the world! It's good for everything. It's good for food, there's some good fashion, there's mostly good weather except for today and it's the realest city in America." Meanwhile, current Manhattanite John Mayer gushed about how well Jen knows him before joining her for a late dinner. Chris Daughtry also performed for the glammed up Jessica Alba and the rest of the star-studded crowd as everyone came out to support the children's charity.

Halloween How-To: David Bowie

BellaSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 08:00:52 -0700

If you're in the mood for a truly rock-and-roll costume, people don't come much cooler than David Bowie. The androgynous, glam-rock look of his Aladdin Sane years takes a bit of energy to pull off, but it's worth the effort. MAC senior makeup artist Louise Zizzo, who did the Jem makeup tutorial, shows us how to get this space-rocker look.

For a list of colors used in this transformation, read more.

Brows: Louise used glue stick to tame the eyebrows and to prepare them to be covered with concealer.
Face: Contour the face with powder blush in Raizin or Fleur Power. Use a fluffy brush to give skin an airbrushed effect.
Design: Sketch the design with a light brow pencil. Louise used Chromacake to fill in the red and blue, but you can get a similar look with other products. Try the red part of Danger Zone eye shadow or red lipstick (just blot loose powder on top to set the color). For the blue portion of the face, Freshwater eye shadow should work. Using an angled brush like the excellent 266 brush, define the line with Fluidline in Blacktrack.
Lips: Use fingers to dab red lipstick on the lips, focusing in the middle portion. The idea is to add a hint of color without covering the lips entirely.

What Musical Act - Dead or Alive - Would You Want to See Live?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:30:42 -0700

Over the weekend, I was hanging out with friends when David Bowie's "Young Americans" hit the jukebox and, of course, everyone started singing along. It suddenly struck me that that song would probably be awesome to hear live, and that I bet Bowie gives a fantastic live performance. I started thinking of other musicians I'd love to check out in concert - including those whom I'll never get the chance to see.

Of the musicians from days gone by, of course, it would have been a thrill to see the Beatles live. I would have truly loved to have seen Johnny Cash in person, and would have given pretty much anything to have seen Louis Armstrong live (actually, there's some great footage of these two performing together, check it out after the jump). In the land of the living, I hope to someday get to an Estelle concert, and though this might seem lame to some of you, I'd jump at the chance to see The Police in concert.

I'll stop there so you can weigh in. Who do you hope to see someday? Who do you wish you could have seen, once upon a time? To check out the Louis Armstrong/Johnny Cash video and add your thoughts, read more.

Movie Preview: August Starring Josh Hartnett (and David Bowie!)

BuzzSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 07:30:10 -0700

Remember in the '90s when the World Wide Web was tied to really lofty ideals? This movie does. Josh Hartnett plays a dot-com entrepreneur who, in one scene from the trailer of August insists that this new phenomenon will increase freedom and choice. Kind of amazing to hear that stuff nowadays, huh?

As we all know, a lot of people put a lot of money into this idea and then the bubble burst. This seems to be what the film is mostly concerned with, though it's kinda hard to figure out from this trailer what the real focus will be. Is it a fast-paced look at the '90s dot-com boom and bust? Or is all that just the context in which we get to know Hartnett's character and watch him grow as a person? Or both?

I guess we'll have to wait and see. One thing I do know is that David Bowie plays an "investor" and he is awesome. The movie opens July 11th and to check it out for yourself, read more.
