VMA's TOP 3 Performances

So, this is the second part of my VMA's article - TOP 3 Performances.

I wanted to talk really briefly about performances on VMA's this year because some of the artists impressed me deeply. And here they are - Lady Gaga, who opened the show, Justin Timberlake, of course, the triumpher of the event, and Miley Cyrus. Well, who said its gonna be the Top 3 Best performances?!

To begin with Lady Gaga's newest hit was the best choice MTV could make, I think. She's absolutely gorgeous on stage!!! Actually, I've seen her live at the concert on 12/12/12 in Moscow with the Monsters Ball Tour and I did see what an amazing artist she is myself. I mean, the VMA's appearance was just in the best traditional way of her performances: singing, dancing and speed clothes changing at the same time. She doesn't even bother going on without any wig on or in an almost "nude costume". We have to admit she's in a good shape now) Best. And, obviously, I love the song) READ MORE!

BREAKING NEW: VMA 2013!

The MTV's big event Video Music Awards 2013 happened over the weekend in Brooklyn! Have you guys seen it? Actually, this is the first awards ceremony that I watched from pre-show till the end, so I want to talk a little bit about Fashion part and do a small review of the great Performances at the VMA's :)

Let's start with Fashion.

It seems like ex-Disney girls are taking over the show business. In this case I mean beautiful as usual Selena Gomez (her bff Taylor Swift is always here at any event so...) and "I couldn't care less"-girl Miley Cyrus.

My comment (Mc): Speaking about Selena and Taylor - I liked the dresses and they obviously suit them and it looks good. But why are they trying so hard to look older than they actually are?! Selena went with Versace pretty much classic dress but with very edgy open part, I find that sophisticated. As about Taylor, my mum said that she looked like an aged Hollywood actress with a good plastic surgery on her face. Maybe because of too much make up she reminds me Nicole Kidman look on the red carpet at the VMA's. And the last is Miley... If some of her fans are reading this, please excuse me, but I think she's gone absolutely crazy, broke all rules of propriety etc etc, even though she's still gaining popularity! what's wrong with you, people?! How can you like this? . Wearing some strange tights with crop-top and gypsy-grandma's jewelry over the body is just Weird, not mentioning the hairstyle! READ MORE

Katy Perry / Lady Gaga / Rita Ora

Mc: Well, no one can be judged by his love to leo print) Although, I think that neck covered dresses seem already old-fashioned. Gaga, rock on as usual! Personally, I cant figure out what hair color Lady Gaga really has? I mean during this particular event she changed like 4 different hairstyles. Despite that this black one looks pretty natural. Rita Ora - the girl that I call "blonde hair, dark brows") The dress is gorgeous, even though I find it a little bit too much. Maybe for the Oscars it will be more appropriate, not really Brooklyn style, isnt it?

The next group of women dressed for VMA's I called "Ï didn't have enough good fabric to make a complete dress" which are Iggy Azalea / Erin Wasson / Ciara (from left to right)

Mc: I mean, you can't really say that they look ugly. No. It's just feels odd a little bit. Was it that hot in NYC that day? I dont think so. The first and the third dresses are kind of similar but Iggy's (#1) body shape isn't good enough for absolutely nude outfit. And the silhouette feels like the couturier didn't have enough fabrics to complete the sleeves. Dress #3 show off all Ciara's good forms and it's done definitely better than the first one. #2 - are you starring in another 5th Element movie?? Or did you want to look better than Lady's Gaga bikini costume? Anyway, Erin Wasson looks like an alien for me.

And, to end it up, I made a group of celebrity guests called "Cool kids"which are Willow and Jaden Smith / Becky G / Ariana Grande Just a few words about each of them.

Mc: #1. You can how cool these kids feel themselves on the red carpet. Such a benefit to be in very famous family in Hollywood.

#2. At first, Did she mix up the Nickelodeon party or something? - was my first impression of this girl. I'm sure she's very honored to be among those huge stars at the VMA's

#3 My favorite sweet young lady - Ariana Grande. You cant deny for great voice but seriously I cant give her 20 years old! Sometimes she's even too sweet but she doesn't try to turn into a super fashion and sexy chica she's not changing just one pretty floral dress to another pretty sparkly one)

Thanks for reading! Please, leave your comments below)

Part 2: Top 3 Great Performances at VMA's - is coming soon. Stay tuned)

I'M in MIAMI BEACH!

Hi, everyone! I'd like to share some great news with you, guys) First of all, Ive decided to change the language of my blog to english because obviously more users are able to read my small yet blog in english than in russian) And secondly, I finally had my FIRST EVER trip to USA! I feel really sorry that I couldn't upload everything as it went because seriously I didnt have time living kind of a student-partying life this month. But now I'm very glad to tell you every interesting moment of my amazing time in MIAMI BEACH)

So, shall we start with a little Welcome to South Beach, Miami, Florida.

This summer I chose a trip to Miami to International School of English with EF in order to improve my english and, of course, to enjoy the beautiful weather and the ocean of this southern city of the state of Florida. I had an 11 hours flight straight Moscow-Miami and was so excited to get the journey started. Check out the view I had from the plane) ==>>

Thanks God, i didnt have any! layovers to get there, otherwise it'd be so exhausting. So, when I arrived I didnt feel jet lagged or something, even though the time difference for me is +8 hours to russian timing.

For me everything seemed so different from where I have been before. But since it was my first visit to America, I started to get used to things very fast)

Exploring new is always so entertaining! So I stopped comparing things to usual and enjoyed all that came along. Anyway, I need to say that most of thing including the way of naming streets, stores, supermarkets, timing, cars , etc is pretty alike my surrounding. And I like it!

A little bit about the place I stayed at for my 3 weeks in Miami.
I lived at the EF campus which is not far from 2 most popular streets there: the Ocean Driva and Lincol Road. At last I understood the meaning of the word "block":) We lived 7 blocks away from the center streets. At school I had 3 classes a day and then access to every place wanted in the whole Greater Miami and not to mention the school pool and a great beach.
