I visited one of my favorite fashion sites, FASHION BOMB DAILY, and found two note-worthy pics that I wanted to share with you. Maybe both of you ladies and gents can get an after-Christmas idea of what to buy after gawking at these two pictures.
Check out Janet Jackson strutting down a block sometimes this month wearing all-black with an exception of the white shirt (which is a good fashion step to wearing all-black because it gives some depth and subtle contrast to the entire outfit. Janet rocked the uber-luxurious 'H' Hermes belt that is definitely noticeable if worn right. Those belts usually go for a mere $700 and up.
And also check out the BIEBS (Justin Bieber) performing for the White House party and the Obamas. Malia and Sasha look very beautiful and radiant. By the way, Justin is wearing a Dolce & Gabbana tux.
Sometimes, Janet Jackson may miss the mark with her clothing, but in the pic above, she is on point and knocking down women half her age!!
This is a beautiful and artsy ensemble that Janet is wearing. Can't you just see the ART in her-- or rather-- the ART of the designer of Janet's dress?
Janet Jackson looked great when she was spotted doing a book signing at a Barnes & Noble bookstore. The last time I posted on Janet Jackson, she was wearing a MUCH-TOO-MANLY suit that I did not like. There are some masculine looks for women, but that look was WAYYY too much MAN (See pic below).
Janet wins here dressed in all black with leather pants, platform Louboutin boots, exaggerated shoulder jacket, slicked-back hair... just on POINT!
#FAIL# - Janet's manly suit from before:
It's not THAT bad, but suits like this have to be worned carefully; the tie and the hair messed up the whole look. She could have went for longer hair and an open blouse to look more feminine.
I went to one of my favorite sites, MEDIATAKEOUT.com, and found Janet jackson performing. She looked so beautiful, and while I'm not here to talk about Janet--Ms. Jackson if you're nasty--negatively, I did have to somewhat agree with the site saying that Janet Jackson's outfits were similar to Nicki Minaj.
Despite what those may say about Janet being the original, STILL by today's standards, whoever wears an outfit first is considered the ORIGINAL.
We all know about the masculine look that we see women doing; it CAN be cute, depending highly on SKILL to not look 'mannish.' There are several items out there in shopping malls that are 'masculine' for women but still is nice-looking on the figure. For example, BOYFRIEND JACKETS, BOYFRIEND BLAZERS, BOYFRIEND SHORTS are the look to go after (See examples below) indefinitely in this category.
Unfortunately, it was very obvious that Janet Jackson (Ms. Jackson if you're nasty LOL) was trying too hard and ended up on my infamous 'FASH, CRASH, AND BURN' posts. She literally made herself look like a "Men in Black" in Louboutins. She was seen attending the second trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, accused of killing the late Michael Jackson with an overdose of Propofol. However the ITEMS she picked--not the whole outfit, just piece by piece--was pretty nice.
She wore Tom Ford "Whiney" sunglasses valued at $380, an Alexander McQueen skull print tie for $175, and Christian Louboutin stilettos for $700+. She also carried a tan Hermes bag. Check out some more pics of her.
Aww, Janet, don't overdo it. It's already enough that your hair is short and now you're putting on a suit!!!
Justin Randall Timberlake was born January 31st, 1981. It seems as if all the ladies love this guy. Pop singer,Actor, got his start on Soul Search and in turn went to The New Mickey Mouse Club. Thats where he met JC Chasez. Then he went on to 'N Sync, a popular boy band from the 1990's. Justin was born in Memphis, Tennessee son of Lynn Harless (née Bomar) and Randall Timberlake. His paternal grandfather, Charles L. Timberlake, was a Baptist minister, and Timberlake was raised Baptist, though now considers himself more "spiritual than religious".
Justin's parents divorced in 1985, and both are remarried. His mother, who now runs an entertainment company called Just-in Time Entertainment, remarried to Paul Harless, a banker, when her son was five. His father, a choir director at a Baptist church, has two children, Jonathan (born c. 1993) and Steven Robert (born August 14, 1998), from his second marriage to Lisa Perry. Justin's half-sister, Laura Katherine, died shortly after birth on May 14, 1997, and is mentioned in his acknowledgments in the album *NSYNC as "My Angel in Heaven." Justin Timberlake grew up in Shelby Forest, a middle class crime-free suburb between Memphis and Millington. Early in 1999, Justin Timberlake began what eventually became a high-profile celebrity relationship with fellow pop singer Britney Spears, with whom he had worked on the New Mickey Mouse Club. This relationship suddenly ended in March 2002, amidst tabloid press speculation on Britney Spears and her infidelity with choreographer Wade Robson, a mutual friend of both Britney and Justin's. Lynn Harless says as a mother she too was devastated regarding the break-up, but to this day speaks warmly of Spears, "Britney grew up on my living room floor. I still love her to death. They (Justin and Britney) were together 10 or 11 years and had, from day one, instant chemistry between them. She's a sweet girl. I just hate what she's going through now." The breakup influenced the lyrics and theme from Justin. My favorite hit song by him "Cry Me A River", one of the most popular singles from Justified. Post-Spears, Justin Timberlake has generally refused to discuss his personal life with the media, as a result of which his relationships have been the subject of much speculation in the tabloid and celebrity press. He was involved with singer-actress Stacy Ferguson prior to 2001. He was romantically linked with actress-dancer Jenna Dewan (in mid-2002) and actress-singer Alyssa Milano (between September and October 2002). Justin began dating actress Cameron Diaz soon after they met at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in April 2003. Regular rumors of break-ups reported in the tabloid press were either ignored or occasionally denied. On the December 16, 2006 episode of Saturday Night Live, Cameron Diaz introduced Justin Timberlake as the night's musical guest, and the couple officially split shortly there afterwards. After the tabloid press alleged an affair between Timberlake and Scarlett Johansson, with whom he had shot the video for his single "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around Interlude", Cameron and Justin issued a joint statement on January 11, 2007:
"It has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our relationship, but, out of respect for the time we've spent together, we feel compelled to do so now, in light of recent speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being reported by the media. We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship and have done so mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect for one another." Later in January 2007 Justin was linked to Jessica Biel when pictures surfaced of the two snowboarding in Park City, Utah during the Sundance Film Festival. On May 12, 2007 romantic pictures of Timberlake and Biel on multiple dates were published. In the August 9–15, 2008 edition of Heat magazine, when Timberlake was asked to describe his perfect woman, he replied "About 5ft.7in.-5ft.8in., nice butt, Midwestern American, kind-of-German last name, green eyes, big pouty lips, fair skin, ahhh....sinewy bod..." However, during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on June 11, 2008 when Jay Leno questioned him about anything related to rumors of engagement and pregnancy, Justin jokingly responded that he "is engaging in a conversation with Leno" and "everybody in general can get pregnant." Timberlake was given Sexiest Man titles by Teen People and Cosmopolitan magazines. On February 17, 2009, Justin Timberlake was named the "Most Stylish Man in America" by GQ magazine. Timberlake is also a fan of English Football Club Manchester United. Of course how could I forget the Janet Jackson Super Bowl exstravaganza. To learn more about this(click here). Here is my favorite song by Justin Timberlake "Cry Me A River"
My favorite song by Janet Jackson "Together Again"
4 minutes 19 seconds Janet Damita Jo Jackson born May 16th, 1966 in Gary Indiana. Raised in Encino Los Angeles. Janet is well known for her music career and has acted in TV series and a few movies as well.
She first performed on stage with the Jacksons at the age of only 7. Later she was signed for a recording contract at the age of 16 with A&M in 1982, releasing her self-titled debut album the same year. She faced criticism for her limited vocal range, and for being yet another member of the Jackson family to become a recording artist. In my opinion the most talented Jackson in the family. In addition to receiving recognition for the innovation in her albums, choreography, music videos, and prominence on MTV Jackson was acknowledged as a role model for her socially conscious lyrics. I saw her concert back in the year 2000 and she put on a fantastic show. In 1991, she signed the first of two record-breaking, multi-million dollar recording contracts with Virgin Records, which established her as one of the highest paid artists in the music industry. Having sold over 100 million records worldwide, Jackson is ranked as one of the best selling artists in the history of contemporary music. The Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA) lists her as the 11th best selling female artist in the United States, with 26 million certified albums.Her longevity, records and achievements reflect her influence in shaping and redefining the scope of popular music. She has been cited as an inspiration among numerous performers. Believe it or not Janet initially was apprehensive about starting a music career, she agreed to participate in recording sessions with her family. The first of these, a duet with her brother Randy titled "Love Song for Kids", took place in 1978. Following the release of Dream Street, Jackson decided to separate her business affairs from her family. She later commented, "I just wanted to get out of the house, get out from under my father, which was one of the most difficult things that I had to do, telling him that I didn't want to work with him again." After releasing her fourth album Rhythm Nation executives at A&M wanted an album similar to Control, she was determined to imbue her music with a socially conscious message that complimented her songs about love and relationships She stated, "I'm not naive—I know an album or a song can't change the world. I just want my music and my dance to catch the audience's attention, and to hold it long enough for them to listen to the lyrics and what we're saying."
Producer Jimmy Jam told The Boston Globe, "We would always have a TV turned on, usually to CNN... And I think the social slant of songs like Rhythm Nation, State of the World and The Knowledge came from that."Rolling Stone magazine's Vince Aletti observed Jackson shifted from "personal freedom to more universal concerns—injustice, illiteracy, crime, drugs—without missing a beat." Peaking at number one on the Billboard 200, the album was later certified six times platinum and eventually sold over fourteen million copies worldwide! The release became the only album in history to produce number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in three separate calendar years "Miss You Much" in 1989, "Escapade" and Black Cat" in 1990 and Love Will Never Do (Without You)" in 1991. It's the only album in the history of the Hot 100 to have seven top 5 hit singles. Janet Jackson was dubbed a reigning "Princess of Pop" by the Chicago Tribune. Acting in films include Poetic Justice(1993), Nutty Professor II: The Klumps(2000),Why Did I Get Married?(2007), Why Did I Get Married Too? (2010) and For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf(2011). Her shows include The Jacksons(1976-1977),Good Times(1977-1979),A New Kind of Family(1979-1980),Diff'rent Strokes(1980-1984) and Fame (1984-1985). And of course how can I forget the classic Super Bowl XXXVIII incident. February 1, 2004 in Houston Texas MTV promised a big surprise during the half time show and sure enough Justin Timberlake exposed Janets boob for all to see. The incident, sometimes referred to as Nipplegate or Tittygate was widely discussed. Along with the rest of the halftime show, it led to an immediate crackdown and widespread debate on perceived indecency in broadcasting and resulted in a record $550,000 fine levied by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) against CBS, as well as an increase of the FCC fine per indecency violation from $27,500 to $325,000. Additionally, some commentators saw the halftime show as a sign of decreasing morality in the national culture in which case I agree. I'm not sure what good fining CBS did. I would have liked to receive some of that cash. What did the FCC do with the money? Cover their eyes? Below is a video with sexy Janet and Busta Rhymes "Whats It Gonna Be".
Jennifer Lynn Lopez, nicknamed "J.Lo" was born on July 24th 1969 and grew up in Castle Hill, a neighborhood in the Bronx, New York.

Ten years after they split Lopez stated "He's a friend and he probably knows me better than anyone else". Jennifer's views on relationships "When it comes to family and relationships, I’m quite traditional. Just because of the way I was raised and I also believe in God and I have a lot of faith in that, so I just felt like you don’t mess with things like that. And I guess deep down I really felt like either this is not going to happen for me or it is. You know what I mean? And if it is, it will. And if it’s not, it’s not going to."
