Oddness/Weirdness

I decided I'd find an older Big Bang editorial to post in honor of G-Dragon's comeback; before it becomes all GD, all the time up in here (exaggerating... a little bit).  Boy did I find a good one.  I'd seen a couple of the G-Dragon pics around and about but I had never seen the whole thing.  I also hadn't realized this editorial was photographed by Terry Richardson (ugh) or that the whole group was featured in it.  Well, I was in for a treat and so will you, if you haven't seen it before. Some highlights: GD's nipples... Welll, his whole outfit.  Seungri's pants (!!), and Daesung??  Damnnn.  This also features T.O.P before he did whatever he did to his face.  Maybe it's his eyebrows??  You tell me.

As  mentioned the other day , Big Bang's G-Dragon will finally be releasing a new album.  Cue emotional fangirling here. Right now he's in the process of filming an mv and he's taken to twitter to tease us with pics from it.

There have been so many videos to put up this past week; it's kinda crazy.  I usually never find this many videos to fangirl over in this short of a time frame.  Well, I have one more to talk about and that is PSY's "Gangnam Style". I am late to this bandwagon because I just watched the mv the other day but I'm here to tell you that if you haven't watched it yet, you are missing out.  Random non-Kpop related celebrities and people of note have taken to tweeting and talking about this video.  More on that in a bit.  First, check out oppa 's "Gangnam Style" and see if you can spot Big Bang's Daesung and Seungri and 4Minute's Hyuna.

Damn there's been some good videos this week.  So many to share, so little time! First off, I'm starting with the awesome-ness that is the video that Big Bang's Seungri just recently tweeted.

I finally got around to doing this post but I'm thinking it will be worth the wait, if you're a fan of Big Bang's T.O.P.  Who wouldn't be?  The man is hot as hell. T.O.P is quite an interesting idol.  He's all swaggerific and like a boss on the outside, child-like and reportedly kind of shy and derpy on the inside.  He's been known to cover his face while in public because people are always talking about how cold/mean he looks. Ya know what?  He can give me those types of looks any day. Name: Choi Seung-hyun Nickname(s): T.O.P, Tabi, Bingu, Choom T.O.P (so hilarious). Typical Accomplishments: Lead rapper for Big Bang, has acted in well known Korean films like "Iris", "I Am Sam", "Nineteen", and "71: Into the Fire", has collaborated with G-Dragon to form a group called GD & TOP, has released well received solo songs like "Turn It Up".

Big Bang's G-Dragon finally opened a Twitter account today and managed to rack up over 135,000 followers, and counting, in less than 7 hours.  That's pretty bad ass in my opinion.

Right now I'm sitting here laughing.  Why, you may ask?  Well, feast your eyes on this:

Planning on attending the Big Bang Alive Tour concert in New Jersey on November 9th?  If not, are you going to the concert in Los Angeles on November 3rd?  Well I've got something fun for you to do to show your love and support for Big Bang. I came across this VIP fan event created on Facebook for both Big Bang concerts and thought it would be cool to share:

This Vogue Korea editorial is my favorite G-Dragon magazine photo shoot.  The shots are beautiful and the styling is impeccably over-the-top.  A combo of weird, fun, creepy and avant garde, this editorial needs no further words. UPDATED: I've been stalking these photos for years, so I keep finding random new pics someone uploaded.  Well, today I found a ton and they're all in color so I felt this post needed an update.  I also found the BTS video from the photo shoot so scroll down all the way to the end for that.  Enjoy...

I'll just start by saying I'm really not a fan of this performance at all.  Not. At. All. Daesung and Seungri: "I can't believe we're doing this."

Well apparently the wait is over.  Big Bang FINALLY released U.S. tour dates for their "Alive Tour 2012" the other day. YG Entertainment confirmed that they were going to perform in Los Angeles at the Honda Center on November 3rd and in New Jersey on November 9th in Newark's Prudential Center.  

Once again life happened and rendered me incapable of working on this blog, aka tired as heck.  That's what happens when you are super busy at work and you had 2 days off in the past 2 weeks.  No bueno.  But enough whining.  On with this super, SUPER late post that I promised ages ago here  (yes that was  over a month ago... shame on moi): Big Bang has obviously been killing it left and right for the past few months.  They released the Alive album and had a phenomenal comeback.  They just released their "Monster" album, which I am about to go download in a hot second, and I'm sure they'll be blasting up the charts and rolling in the $$$ with this one too.   Big Bang's style during the Alive promotional cycle was a mixture of '80s and '90s references, dyed hair pieces and some crazy, with a dash of wtf thrown in for good measure but I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.  I'm all for some craziness and wtf-ery in an idol's sartorial choic

I've been out of the loop for the past few days because real life intervened.  I actually had to work... Gasp!!  I mean, one must have a job, mustn't one??  Anyway, those hours were long as hell and I've been too tired to even look at my computer, much less turn it on.  Times like these is when I really consider buying a laptop. While I was working my butt off, Big Bang just woke up and decided to release a repackage of their Alive album and call it Still Alive or Alive-Monster Edition.  The new album will include five new tracks, which are called "Still Alive", "Bingle Bingle", "Feeling", "Ego" and "Monster". They're releasing digitally on June 3rd, with the album coming out on June 6th.  They seem to be going all out with their teasers for the song "Monster", like YG likes to do.  Be sure to scroll down and check out G-Dragon's "Monster" mv teaser that was released earlier today, as well as T.

It has come to my attention that L'Officiel Hommes is trying to give me a heart attack.   After seeing these scans of Taeyang for the June edition of L'Officiel Hommes, I kind of have no words...because I'm catatonic.  They are gloriously, spell binding-ly hot.  It's also really nice to see Taeyang show different facial expressions and to exhibit some sort of personality in a photo shoot.  In my opinion he usually ends up coming off looking a bit the same and a tad bit robotic in every picture.  I'm also loving that he has a different hair style and thinking that it looks really good on him. The concept for this shoot is pretty much flaw free; I only have a bone to pick with that odd pubic-looking fur...something in and around his pants.  Otherwise, the photographer and stylist deserves a standing ovation or three.  I guess I did have words after all.  Enjoy these fabulous pics 'cause I certainly did!

I'm not usually a label whore, especially for those designer brands that are all about putting their initials all over everything, but for some reason I can really get into the brand MCM.

I just saw this on my friend Stormy's blog and immediately had to repost it.  It's Big Bang jamming to "Bad Boy" with their live band in rehearsals for their Alive concert.  This looks like so much fun!  I wish I could have been there.

I was so into Boy London clothes when I was younger.  It used to be all about punks and New Wave.  Cracks me up when everything swings back around on the fashion wheel.

I'll be posting a Big Bang "Alive" Comeback: Idol Style soon because I've been fascinated by Big Bang's Fantastic Baby and Bad Boy comeback style. Gifs:  gd-vamp@tumblr Their stylists have mostly done a great job outfitting them in fun and unique stuff, especially in this last early '90s inspired Inkigayo Bad Boy performance.  I've been enjoying the heck out of their clothing choices, and my favorite so far has been how they single-handedly brought back (ok... I'm exaggerating) the '80s brand Boy London, which I haven't seen in ages. The outfits in these gifs SO remind me of this: Source:  splintzuk
