Amy Lee

Hi people, I decided to write a blog about Amy Lee from Evanescence. I love her voice and the whole sound of the band. The reason why she popped up in my mind to do a blog is cuz im actually practising her music on my acoustic guitar.
So far I've learned Bring Me To Life


and now I'm learning My Immortal.





Someday I'd love to see them play LIVE.





I love her individuality.

Gabourey Sidibe: 'I feel like a model.'




The Precious actress tells Bazaar of her photo shoot: "I feel like a model. It justifies everyone in my life who told me I wouldn't be anything until I lost weight. It justifies that little girl who cried because she didn't think she could be in front of the camera. And it's for other girls who feel like they can't do this or that and feel like they're not pretty and not worthy of having their photo taken." according to USATODAY.



...She adds, "People always ask me, 'You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?' It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it's your home, and," she chuckles, "you must decorate it."
...

When Sidibe appeared on Ellen in October, armed with a dance she had been practicing for weeks, Ellen DeGeneres implored her to "stay exactly who you are." She lights up at the memory. "I'm just happy to show up. So, I don't have any plans of changing because I really, really like myself. It took a lot of work to get here. It's reaffirming for people to meet me and ask me not to change." She smiles, slyly deflating her you-go-girl balloon. "And now we cry."

Subliminal




Loving the makeup. But check out all the flashing images of skulls, baphomet goat, cross with Jesus Christ and bullets and what looks like blood but is in black in white.

I guess Jay is on some higher levels.

Check it... what do you think?
