Oddness/Weirdness

Love him or hate him, you have to admit that G-Dragon is one stylish mother f-er.  When on stage, or out promoting, G-Dragon's outfits can veer from moderately outlandish to extreme eccentricity; he's in your face and he likes it that way.  But when he's out and about, hitting up those invitation only parties as GD , or at the airport as plain old Kwon Ji Yong, he's a tad bit more subdued... up to a point. Today is all about off-duty G-Dragon, but I like him any which way.  How about you?

As of earlier today G-Dragon has completed his two days of concerts in Beijing, China.  His good chingu Seungri was there to party with him and give his sprained ankle some much needed rest.  Are you curious to see what went on?  Well I've got tons of gorgeous HQ pics and some fancams for you, so what are you waiting for?  Go look!

G-Dragon kicked off his " 2013 G-Dragon World Tour: One of a Kind " on the 30th of March and has received his fair share of kudos and accolades from industry friends and fans alike. I was all set to make an epic spam post about the concerts, featuring a ton of fancams and pics.  Imagine my chagrin when I realized that YG Entertainment was systematically taking down almost all videos of the concert that they could find on YouTube.  A lot of the accounts associated with those videos were also deleted for multiple counts of copyright infringement.  I was pretty surprised about this, since all fancams of Big Bang 's last tour are "alive" and well, including my fancams of Big Bang's Alive concert in New Jersey . So today I'm bringing you the gorgeous HQ pics with the few good fancams that are still to be found (I'm guessing they're still there because they were recently uploaded).  Make sure you watch quickly; who knows how long they'll be ...

Yesterday I talked about SHINee at Seoul Fashion Week , but today I'm bringing you some  G-Dragon .   GD hit up designer Kathleen Hanhee Kye 's F/W 2013 fashion show on March 28th for her brand, KYE .  He took with him 2NE1 's CL and his bffs model Lee Soo Hyuk and  2NE1 's former stylist  Yang Seung Ho (aka Yangaeng ).  Check it:

I know the G-Dragon posts have been few and far between on this blog recently, but it's been kind of quiet on that home front.  That's all about to change, because Jiyong 's new album will soon be released and he'll be heading out on his  One of a Kind World Tour .   The GD extravaganza kicks off March 30th and I, for one, cannot wait! As mentioned before , GD will also be releasing a  "One of a Kind" dvd collection  on April 2nd, which means that before long you'll be able to hear the rustling of hundreds of credit cards being brandished throughout the world.  You'll know it when you hear it. The teaser for the One of a Kind collection was released today, so here it is for your viewing pleasure:

Cosmetics brand The Saem has decided to hire G-Dragon as their spokesperson, along with After School 's IU .  For the past few days, GD has been teasing us with pics on Twitter, Instagram and Me2Day that are all related to this new collaboration.  Take a look:

In celebration of G-Dragon making music for Nicola Formicetti's MUGLER menswear fall/winter 2013 show , I've managed to hunt down all these gothic-fantastic photos of GD from Numero magazine in 2008.  You know it's a good photo shoot when it's still relevant 6 years later. These are such great shots of GD doing what he does best, in a Tim Burton sort of way.  Kind of like an avant garde Beetlejuice, which is a perfect homage to Lady Gaga's aesthetic.  After taking a look at this, be sure to click on over to G-Dragon's Vogue Korea 2009 editorial .  It's also very avant garde and it's been updated with a ton more pics that I found today + more.

Oh G-Dragon ... How you slayed me this past year with your perfectly shorn locks of crimson, magenta, cerulian and blush!  How I longed mightily for your hairdresser's digits and a home visit... Ahhh, I can only stare at you in admiration and sigh.  

Alright T.O.P, I'm all for you wearing funky patterns and crazy colors.  I get it... you want to be fabulous and there's nothing wrong with that.  I've seen you in some Prada coats recently and, even though some people have been talking crap, I've had your back.  I thought you looked really good.  However, let's get something straight: This is where I draw the line-

Yes you read that right.  Big Bang's G-Dragon has gone and gotten himself a new hairstyle and cut.  You know I, along with many other VIPs, were dying to know what he would do next.  Take a look at G-Dragon at Gimpo airport, leaving Korea on the way to Hong Kong:

When Big Bang was in Los Angeles in early November for their Alive concert tour stops, they ended up being guests on a show called "Danny From L.A.", which is an Mnet America weekly original show that talks about Asian pop culture and entertainment.  Watch Big Bang in all their lo-fi splendor as they relax, laugh and talk in a mixture of English and Korean about all kinds of topics, especially their delicious looking In 'n Out burgers. cr. korea.com.  

Big Bang has been spokespeople for Gmarket (a hugely popular South Korean online auction and shopping site) for years now, and this year has been no exception. This time Gmarket released their ads and commercials for the current round of promotions for their site and they are chock full of Big Bang.  Gmarket is obviously not a dumb company, because I too would shop for stuff if my boys promoted it.

This is it... this is the last of the took-forever-to-upload, what-the-hell-was-I-thinking, but-damn-it-was-worth-it fancams from the Big Bang Alive concert that I attended in New Jerz  (as Seungri calls it) on 121109.

I'm back with another installment of my Big Bang Alive concert fan account .  I started out on Monday by telling you guys about everything that happened before the concert and showing you 3 of the fancams I took.  Well, I've got more.

It's been a whole 4 days since I've posted anything, which is kind of crazy.  It's just been that kind of week, what with me going to the November 9th Big Bang Alive concert in Newark, NJ and all. Let me just get this out of the way first:  It was INCREDIBLE!!  I had SO much fun!  I got to see them all close up and almost personal and stuff... it was fabulous. Now on with the goodies! (See more fancams by clicking  here  and here )

I'm going to go on record as saying this was G-Dragon's best Inkigayo stage so far.  Watch GD's "Crayon" goodbye stage, which was done on the streets of HongDae in Seoul and marvel at how much money YG and SBS is willing to spend on one performance.

I bet European VIPs are freaking out as we speak, because it was announced earlier this morning that Big Bang would be holding an Alive Tour concert in London's Wembley Arena.

Ok look... I'm not going to waste your time with any unnecessary comments... I'm just going to let you watch G-Dragon be his incredible self on the 121019 episode of Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook.  Enjoy and let me know your feels in the comments at the end!

Part 2 of my Big Bang Alive Tour Singapore 2012 extravaganza, because 23 videos is wayyyy too many to include on one post.  Be sure to check out part 1  for more fancams and a link to more pics.

Today I felt like giving myself a preview of the upcoming Big Bang concerts in New Jersey with some excellent fancams from their Alive Tour Singapore 2012 concerts.  These concerts took place on September 28 and 29 and, from the looks of things, were full of awesome.
