Solange: DJ Hero
Solange Knowles the DJ?
If your big sister is the music biz’s resident diva and her hubby the reigning king, there’s nothing stopping you from heading to a downtown Miami hot spot and taking over the DJ booth.
And that’s exactly what the songstress and budding actress did into the wee hours Friday morning at Mia Lounge, where she showed up to host Headliner Thursdays.
“I’m really having a blast,” Knowles told Niteside.
Past hosts of the event — which attracts Miami socialites — include Monica, Toccara and Mya, but this diva’s impromptu performance left promoters stunned and the crowd chanting for more. After dancing for several hours, all the while sipping champagne, Knowles admitted to catching the “DJ bug” and headed for the stairs with us in hot pursuit.
Once inside the booth, Knowles affirmed to DJ Stevie J that “I got this” and proceeded to hit the turntables. Continue Reading »
Freeze Frame: Close Encounter of the Third Glowstick
Polka dots, wide eyes, and an artistic atmosphere. Yup, its too early for this too.
Back & Fourth: She Ain’t No Creole
Usually when I receive emails from certain people, I expect certain things.
When I receive email from my mom, its usually long jokes/moral stories/corny stuff. When I receive email from Time Warner, they usually want their money before the end of the month. When I receive email from Freshalina, its usually involves fuckery and other crazy shit that doesn’t allow me to sleep at night and leaves mental scars that not even an extended session at my psychologist can erase.
Here, we have a young black female arriving in Berlin for the MTV Europe Awards. Photographers mistakenly refer to her as Solange Knowles but that’s not Piaget. And you wonder why she has so much angst . . .
Fresh: I’m still trying to understand.
Justin: Unless Solange got some house party surgery.
Fresh: The girl isn’t unattractive or anything she just doesn’t look shit like Solange.
Justin: Those celebrity photographers needs to get their shit together.
Fresh: Its no wonder why that photographer fell the fuck out and died after taking Lady Gaga’s picture earlier this week.
Justin: He died for real?
Fresh: For real.
Justin: Oh shit. Gaga ain’t playing. I guess he finally saw her Poker Face.
No Shade Zone: Solange Knowles
The killer bees at my second home HoneyMag.com was able to snag Solange for her first photo shoot post-big chop to talk about motherhood, dating rumors and upcoming album. Let basement baby be great.
Honey: Let’s just start with the question that’s on everyone’s minds: the big chop. We fell in love with the cut right away. We wanted to shoot you before the cut, but we were really excited when we saw it because we could really get fashion-y.
I guess you just go through different phases in your life. I was pretty much at the point where I needed the change and I needed to focus my energy on more productive arenas. I was putting too much into my appearance and I needed to make this about growth and going to the next stage of my life. I felt like I was being distracted by something as simple as hair. I’ve always been really fearless about change. I’ve cut my hair the same way when I was 16 and again when I was 18. This was my third time.
No Hate Today: Solange, Front Row Creole
According to Wikipedia, Solange is a French name taken from Saint Solange, who is a locally-venerated Christian Saint. The saint was the patron of the traditional Province of Berry. Fast forward to modern days and Solange Knowles is fucking royalty.
In France of course.
Here is the wig crypt’s holiness at the BCBG Max Azria show in New York City on Wednesday night. Sporting her shortly cropped cute cut, she posed for pictures with some of the show goers, including that chick that threw shade at her sister earlier this year in a “track that wasn’t supposed to be released.” Looking fresh faced and happy, Solange is set to take the world by storm. If she can just log off of Twitter. Watch out now!
