Working your way to FIT!

I’m very honoured and pleased to receive an email from a reader “Chris”, by way of a follow up from a previous post The Biggest Loser. He runs the web’s largest workout music database and has put together a list of the current top 10 songs for working out, based on user feedback, and I thought “Wow, what an interesting idea? I wouldn’t mind chalking down these songs and information to give myself and readers that extra push to working out those flabby areas!” Trust me I haven’t exercised in awhile and I think my arms and tummy and thighs are paying for it. Urgh! But I must say R&B always gets me going, whether it’s executing those dance moves on the floor or running that extra mile.

So, I’m very excited to be writing about this – are you ready??!

500 Days of Elusiveness.

“If only love is so simple. Like a switch. Turn it on and off, make it transferable, refundable, negotiable, and most importantly, reversible.”

Yeah. That’s what I SAID.

My name’s not Summer, but I feel her when she said

Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew.
Tom: Knew what?
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.

But what happened to those kisses, the smiles that meant the world in those oh-so-special moments…

And the magic that happened. I didn’t feel that with anyone else.

How many love stories that were told actually have a good ending? What’s good? And what’s beautiful?

How about being delusional about love?

Expectations vs reality.

Enjoy the difference.

Then it’s like…

Being bitter…and cynical about every single element about l0ve and relationships.

But really it’s driving you crazy just thinking about that person. Everything, every moment every breath…is a blur, yet so vivid.

Uh-huh.

You laughed so much and you wanted time to stop.

Deep down you know it doesn’t last. It won’t. Good things never do last.

And as you walk down memory lane. Maybe the person will come back to you.

Meanwhile, like Tom said,

“Either she’s an evil, emotionless, miserable human being, or… she’s a robot.”

Still waiting for that elusiveness to go away. Go away. Say bye.

Yes it is.

And finally, my name’s Melissa Jane.

Cindy Crawford’s Daughter Kaia For Young Versace!

In case anyone had ever wondered if good looks were genetic, this picture is the answer: yes and YES! Here’s a sneaky peek from the first ever ad campaign for Young Versace, a brand new children’s line from the Italian powerhouse, just for kids aged 0-12.

And who better to model the collection than the daughter of Gianni Versace’s muse and supermodel, Cindy Crawford? Crawford’s ten-year-old daughter Kaia models the collection for Spring/Summer 2012, which was shot by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. The collection is a mix of typically Versace patterns and the Medusa head logo, mixed with more colourful, punky elements.

Cindy Crawford with her gorgeous family in 2011

The supermodel mother sounded super-proud when asked about Kaia’s involvement with the House of Versace. ‘I’m so thrilled that Kaia was chosen to be part of the first Young Versace Campaign,’ Cindy said. ‘I have so many fond memories of the times I spent with Gianni and Donatella. There is something so very special about the House of Versace. Being on-set with my daughter watching her in front of the camera was a fantastic experience. I am so proud of her.’ Awww….

And it seems Mini-Crawford has a fan in Donatella Versace too. ‘Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift,’ the designer said. ‘The camera really, really loves her. Having Cindy on-set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother’s footsteps!’

With Kaia already such a natural in front of the camera so young,  great things from her is definitely expected in the future. Perhaps she’ll walk for the Versace runway show for Spring/Summer 2020? Let’s wait with baited breath. What a lucky girl she is to have a pro catwalker as a mum to show her the ropes!
