Video Lust: Beyonce's 'End of Time' Live at Roseland

I recently purchased Beyonce's Live at Roseland: Elements of 4 on DVD and have fallen in love with the 4 album all over again.

The venue is the intimate Roseland Ballroom in NYC and the performance does not dissapoint. No fancy costume changes or big screen graphics. Just a live band, amazing dance routines, and Beyonce.

Not only is the musical breakdown of her career [from Destiny's Child to 4] a fun flashback, but her performance of "End of Time" was a knockout that you shouldn't miss. You'll aslo see backstage videos from the concert and making of the music videos for the album 4. AND you get all the music videos from 4 as well. Owning the "Run the World [Girls]" video on DVD was a must have for me.

 Lust with your eyes below and make sure and see the whole concert!



Dallas Amante on Pinterest

I was completely against it, but a few months back I gave it a shot and found out that I actually like Pinterest. It's so easy to find inspiration. It's not so easy to find hip people to follow. Still I continue to my quest and continue to be inspired.

So if you Pin your nights away, follow my boards on Pinterest. And check out these cool folks to follow below.

Cindy Crawford + French Revue de Modes

French Revue de Modes celebrates its 10th anniversary with the SS12 issue [on newstands now]. They enlisted one of the original supermodels for the celebration, Cindy Crawford. Let's all take a moment with these photos...she is 46! Wow.

Video Lust: Jennifer Lopez's 'I'm Glad'

While we're on the subject of Ms. Lopez and Flashdance, let's take a look at the visual feast of Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Glad".

Lust on Film: Flashdance

It's the story of an 18 year old girl who welds at a steel mill during the day, dances at a bar by night, and dreams of one day being in the ballet.

Video Lust: Lady Gaga's 'Marry the Night'

I am mildly obsessed with Lady Gaga's "Marry the Night" video. I know, it was her last video but it's not very recent news. I'm making a conscious effort to blog about inspiration, new or old, it's far too much work trying to keep up with breaking news.

Lust for Music: Christina Aguilera's 'Bionic'

Christina Aguilera's "Bionic" is probably one of the most underrated albums of the last few years. It gained a lot of criticism for it's electric feel in comparison to Lady Gaga. Not that I don't love the Gaga, but she is hardly the only artist with an electric feel in the industry.

Brand Dominated Universe

All Photos from Guy Hepner

Um, can it get much better than this? I don't want to sound like a label whore, but this Ultraviolet Collection of artwork from Eric Hajjar and Meredith Rose, entitled "Brand Dominated Universe", is heaven.

Tom Ford + Paris

Mr. Ford, as I like to call him, has put his stamp on Paris with his new store for men. The three story structure is located in Ville Lumière, where the handsome icon lives when he isn't in New Mexico, California, or New York. Coming soon is a larger store for women, which I'm sure will be another visual feast.

Video Lust: Kylie Minogue's 'The One'

I get crazy obsessed with this video, and you should too! Not only is "the One" a great song [and tons of fun live], but this art deco inspired display of visual delight with Kylie Minogue is music video heaven. Take a look for yourself...

Madonna + Cocaine

The launch of the MDNA tour has bloggers buzzing and me pretty depressed I don't have tickets for the show in LA. Madonna is my muse! Evident in the artwork above which was created by me.

The Madonna inspired work of art [above] is a reference to both Madonna and drug use. I quoted a lyric from "Vogue", "You try everything you can to escape the pain of life that you know", and referenced cocaine with the bloody nose. Meaning people use drugs to escape pain, or their situations.

The Redburry at Hollywood + Vine

Hip Hotel Alert! The Redbury at Hollywood & Vine looks like so much fun. It's the latest project from sbe [the Abbey in WeHo, Hyde in Las Vegas] and is a curated by Creative Director and renowned Photographer Matthew Rolston.

Nineties Nostalgia

Photos from Homotography

I've been obsessed with all of the press for the Versace SS12 goods. The graphic baroque print is a must have for any fashionista this summer. Found these photos by Charles Quiles titled "Nineties Nostalgia" shot for Bullet magazine. Absolutely in love with the style; studded shorts, floral, leather, and gold chains [yes, please].

Video Lust: Rihanna's 'U Da One'

Who doesn't love Rihanna? Okay, some people have pretty strong opinions about the sometimes controversial rebel that she is. I for one enjoy rebellion and the sense of passion that is usually behind it.

Nicki Minaj as a Table Lamp

Nicki Minaj teamed up with Steven Klein to get in touch with her inner Willy Wonka. Doesn't seem like much of a stretch for Minaj, but this time it was for Vogue's "True Colors". I guess her lyrical wish from Pink Friday to work with Anna Wintour has come true.
