Beat Goes On/ Top 3 songs in Texas



So as some of you might know, I'm vacationing in Texas for the moment. The radio here is so popular like in any other city in the U.S.

Since I came here last Tuesday, this are the most played songs on the radio.

Hard to believe, Ke$sha is the number ONE with Your love is a drug, and it has to be popular, because they play the song like every 5 minutes in all the stations.

And  in second place, we have Taio with Break your heart, which is by far my favorite song... And did I mention that the singer is also cute... well the perfect combo.

And last but not least, Michael Jackson's guitarrist,Orianthi made it to the number three with her single, Accordin to you wich is a cool and great song to sing for your partner when you get into a fight.

There you go, know go and look for this songs and start dancing.

Jet Setter/ Houston TX.



Houston, es la cuarta ciudad más poblada de Estados Unidos y la mayor del estado de Texas. Con una población de más de 2,2 millones de habitantes, es una ciudad multicultural, internacional y global.

Con una temperatura que llega a los 32 C en verano, en 1980 fue catalogada como la ciudad más ventilada (por aire acondicionado) en la Tierra. Los inviernos son suaves y frescos, con una temperatura promedio de 16 C, pero sin embargo en los últimos años se ha registrado un descenso en la temperatura, trayendo algunas nevadas. Las lluvias son fuertes y recurrentes, ocasionando inundaciones en amplias partes de la ciudad. Es también una de las ciudades más contaminadas del país.

La "Space City" como también se le conoce comunmente ( debido al Centro espacial Lyndon B. Johnson de la NASA) cuenta con grandes desfiles y eventos culturales, el más grande y de más larga duración es el anual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (exposición de ganado y rodeo), el Houston Pride Parade (que es uno de los Gay Pride más grande, ya que a diferencia de lo que la mayoría piensa, Houston cuenta con una gran comunidad gay).

Con gran presencia en las artes, el Theater District esta situado en el centro de la ciudad. Además de contar con el Museum District, con muchas instituciones y exposiciones culturales. El Bayou Place, localizado en el centro, cuenta con bares, restaurantes, cines, plazas y parques.

El skyline de Houston, clasificado como el cuarto más impresionante de los Estados Unidos, cuenta con túneles y pasos elevados que unen a un edificio con otro, para evitar el calor y las lluvias.

Una ciudad que tiene de todo, y que definitivamente Looks like fun... Veremos lo que me espera en esta cálida y ajetreada ciudad texana.

Le Mouvement Quotidien/ Ke$ha goes GAY!!!




Don't worry guys, Ke$ha is not coming out of the closet, but her song Blah blah blah is.

A group of army guys, created a video where you can see nudity, great ass moves, popped collars and peeking in the showers, all this to support GAY MEN in the military.

The video is great, not only because is well made but for showing cute military men.

Enjoy...

Writes the video's creator:

"Created by Codey Wilson and his elite step team of volunteers. Don't give us a hard time for this, please? We're just a few good men trying to enjoy ourselves and get this deployment over with. No one is gay... that we know of. Not that there is anything wrong with that! (political correctness) As a young aspiring film maker I was forced to release this early due to our friend in Afghans high school lip sinked music vi.deo You know you love it. Enjoy it. Spread it. Live it. Lastly, ignore the copy cats that will soon follow and keep your taste for original creativity. Much love from the east!"

Le Style du Jour/ London Pelayo Diaz Zapico


Pelayo Diaz Zapico better know as "Prince Pelayo" . A 23 years old fashion student at Central Saint Martins has been making noise in the international fashion scene for a while. This gentlemen has gained worldwide fame for his aesthetic and unique style (when he's wearing something) and his ingenious blog KateLovesMe an ode to Kate Moss.


Besides of being is #1 fan, I also look up to him. He's a fascinating role model for those guys (like me)  who wants to make a life out fashion. He quote's on his blog profile "Be the most authentic person you can be" an he proves it. Not only with his daring looks, always pushing it to the limits, but also with his spirit and attitude to eat the world. He posses originality till the point where he has create his own charismatic, shameless and fashion icon character.

He describes his style as L.A kid meets 50s pimp with a inspiration from Icons like James Dean and Cry-baby. He likes to shop in Harvey Nichols in London, Davidelfin in Madrid, Hotskates in Oviedo and being his favorite designers Yves Saint Laurent, Dior and the spaniard: Balenciaga.

With his success you'll think the fame would have reach his head, contrary to this, he's a very down to earth guy and enjoy spending time hanging out with his friends in SoHo and thanking everyday for accomplish everything that he ever wanted.

Definitely the "it" guy of our times.

Le Mouvement Quotidien/ Gaga on Idol



Ok, so everyone's talking about last night performance of Lady Gaga in American Idol.

I have to say, I was expecting a little bit more. The clothes, the stage and the dancers were good, but I don't know I think I needed more... Something HOT like México.

What really liked it, was the Latin bites at the end of the song, and I have to say, I can't wait for the video to come out, because this is my favorite track by far from "The Fame Monster"

And you little monsters, What do you think about Gaga's performance???

Prêt-à-Porter/ Sfera





Last sunday while I was spending my last day in Aguascalientes, I discovered by far one of my favorites brands. (Sfera).

(Sfera) is a Spanish fashion brand, which bets on the quality, continuous renovation in every collection and the costumer service.

The designs are inspired in the latest fashion trends, really modern looks and a good price, everything for the buyer to find their own style.

I was really suprised to see the looks in the male line, very colorful, clean cut and 100% wearable, but super trendy, with a variety of accesories to die for. Belts, socks and underwear with great prints.

The female style, WOW!!! Just blowed my mind; with pieces that reminded me Lady Gaga & Beyónce in the Telephone video, with big shoulder pads, chains, sequins and studs.
With stores in the best commercial zones of the main Spanish cities and in countries like Portugal, Belgium, Grecce and Mexico.

If you're looking for a different and unique style, (Sfera) is the your choice.
