Tiest0 is Engaged! Posted by Carinka

World’s most famous DJ Tiesto is getting married.

tiesto and

Tiesto, who’s real name is Tijs Verwest, 38, and long time girlfriend, Stacey Blokzijl,18, (yes they are 20 year apart) met each other in the nightlife, made it official on October 10, 2007. However, it is still unknown and to where they ceremony will take place.

No surprises here as the DJ Magazine #1 DJ in the world walks it in this year’s Poll. In 2007 he played solo for 8 hours for ‘Tiesto in Concert’ in Arnheim, selling out the event a month in advance, something that no other DJ has come close to doing. Unquestionably the world’s biggest DJ.

I personally LOVE and ADMIRE Tiesto. His DJ’ing skills put me in a state of Ecstasy. His girlfriend might be young but she must be doing something right :) I can’t wait for him to come back to NYC.

You heard it right, Lindsay Lohan’s career may possible be over! According to a source, both the film and music industry are pondering whether or not to say good-bye to Hollywood’s party-child. Talks are being made to discuss the cokehead’s LiLo’s future. If the industry did in fact say bye bye to her, she would be loosing over 20 million dollars a year. You might think that money is not an issue for LiLo but in fact, sources say that she is currently staying at the Utah Rehab center for free!!
If I were a well to do executive, I would NOT think about hiring her for any upcoming films. Not just because her last two movies were a flop, but because she is just so0o overly irresponsible and I just do NOT believe that she will ever be on top again. Maybe if she layed off the drinking, pills and coke she would realize that being an addict will get you no where. Poor stupid LiLo. I don’t feel bad, you did it to yourself :x

Last night, I went to see the fifth of the seven Harry Potter movies. Another great movie sequal that i can’t wait for the rest. It was interesting to see the characters grow from 11 years old to 17/18 years old. It kind of reminded me of myself. Oh how time flies.

Emma Watson (Hermione), is said to have signed up to be in the last two movies (if she wasn’t in the last two, they might as well just stop it at five) and claims that she never has to work again, once the film franchise ends. She admitted to making over 10 million euros in her sequals and with a mom and dad as lawyers, she is pretty much set to retire after the series ends. She also says “people can’t understand why I don’t want to be a full-time actress but school life keeps me in touch with my friends. It keeps me in touch with reality.”

Finally, a well brought up young lady. Now let’s hope she doesn’t follow in Paris’ footsteps.

Wii Fit.. will it really work? Posted by Carinka

So I hear Nintendo is coming out with a new game for the Wii called Wii Fit. Since I am a owner of the Nintendo Wii, I wonder….is this going to work? Will people actually be able to go down in waist size due to this new game?

Suppossidly, the Wii Fit package comes with a Wii balance board, in which you stand on the board and it measures the person’s center of gravity, weight and body mass index (now if a regular scale can’t do this, how can Nintendo make this happen?). Anywho, the board acts as a control for about 40 different types of training activites and these trainings fall into four fitness categories: Aerobic Exercise: 10-minute exercises that are designed to get the heart pumping, Muscle Conditioning: Controlled motions using arms, legs and other body parts, Yoga Poses: Classic poses that focus on balance and stretching, and Balance Games: Fun activities, such as ski jumping and heading soccer balls, that challenge the player’s overall body balance.

Sounds like a workout!

This would be awesome if it in fact did work and would save many people to the gym. Highly unlikely though :(

No official release date has been set.

That’s right all you fans, Beatstock ‘07 is right around the corner! As you all know, whatever happens at Beatstock, stays at Beatstock! For all the Jersey people, it falls on August 18, 2007 at PNC Bank Arts Center in Homdel, New Jersey and for all the NY people it falls on August 19, 2007 at Jones Beach in Wantagh, Long Island.

Every year, my girls and I look forward for the hottest sexiest day of the year. A day that everyone fist pumps, techno, house, and trance music for 4 hours straight. This event is almost bigger than celebrating a birthday. All girls go shopping for Beatstock outfits and make sure their outfits are prefectley assembled for the big day. Having the perfect tan and your nails in a french manicure is also key ;)

Days before the concert is important to plan who is driving, who is drinking, who is putting in gas money, what drinks will be necessary, who is packing the survival kit, chairs, music, etc. The day of Beatstock, usually consists of waking up around 8am and starting to get ready (Looking plastic is just an idea what Beatstock is all about). To beat all the traffic on the one and only New Jersey Parkway, you would need to leave around noon. Last year, my friends and I had to make a stop in Lyndhurst so we were actually sitting in about 3 hours of traffic. We will managed to get to the concert about a hour or two before it started.

Once you arrive at PNC and move through all the car honking, techno/ trance blasting music, screaming drunk guidos/ guidettes, stretch limos, underage girls with neon mini skirts wearing mroe make-up then a MAC counter, you try and fit your car into the first lawn you see where people are drinking. Usually no one cares how far away you park as long as you park where people are already wasted and have the music you like blasting.

It is hard to talk about what goes and what people see during pregaming and the actual concert, one just needs to be a fan to understand what i mean by all this Beatstock 411.

THERE’S ONLY ONE BEATSTOCK! (See pics below taken from Beatstock 2006)

I LOVE MY GIRLS!

Adrenaline Booster Posted by Carinka

Energy drinks have become an instant fab. I have only tried Red Bull, which is suppose to give you wings, but in my opinion tastes absolutly aweful.  Red Bull, vodka and tonic, is that even suppose to taste good? or is it just the sugar high that makes you drunker? 

The last time I was out, I saw some girl sipping on this energy drink called “TAB.”  The only reason it caught my eye was because the can was pink (go figure). The girl drinking this Tab, was nearly 100 lbs and about 5′6, she didn’t appear to be drinking any alcohol, which made me wonder, why is she drinking Tab (is she on something else), would this Tab drink make you feel better then if you were drunk?  What is this new hot pink can that is so sheek to be caught drinking…well..its pink and supposedly tastes like a liquid jolly rancher. (((MMmMMmmMMmmMmm)))

 Nonetheless, these energy drinks, seem to have some sort of effect on you. Once you start drinking these things, it’s like you don’t need food.  The cafeeine has you going for hours on end and when you start to crash, you will sleep on cloud 9. (Doesn’t sound that bad)

I need to get my hands on one of these hot pink cans and “Fuel to be Fabulous.”

NYC Hair Color Follow up Posted by Carinka

On April 18, 2007, I had my first appointment at the Salon Ishi (70e 55th Street).  My apprival time was 5:30pm, however once i got there, the kind management told me that I would have to wait until 6pm till the hair colorist would start on my hair.  When it was 6, i was attended to be a young woman by the name of Heather.  She was very nice and kind.  She had asked me what color i wanted her to dye my hair, and i told her to give it a tint of purple, she then recommended highlights.  I agreed, even though i have never had any highlights put in my hair.  Too make a long story short, i got a half a head of highlights for $15.  The best deal ever for highlights and its in NYC!

NYC Hair Color Posted by Carinka

I was recently shown an article in “In Style” magazine about the best hair color services in NYC.  They are pros and talented colorists-in-training at NYC salons that offer rich hues and highlights at low prices.

 I am originally a brunette. When i turned 14, i wanted my hair to go lighter, so i put Sun-In my hair (BAD MISTAKE).  About 3 months later my hair was orange :/  Every year since then i was dying my hair dark brown, almost chocolate brown. About a year or so ago, I decided to go black. I think i picked a good choice since it brings out my baby blue eyes.hehe.  But now i think it is time for an upgrade.  I have never had highlights or low-lights or any professional hair colorist dye my hair, so i think it may be nice to go get it done.

Here are some of the NYC Salons that take part in this low budget hair coloring:                                                            

Rita hazan salon/ 720 Fifth Avenue.   PRICE $40-$60

Salon ishi/ 70 e. 55th Street.    PRICE $15

louis Licari/ 693 fifth Avenue.   PRICE $40

 I hope all you girls that are looking for some advice on hair coloring and aren’t willing to spend $100’s, should definatley give this a try, worst case, you won’t like it and will go to the nearest pharmacy and dye it all back.  GOOD LUCK!
