My all time favorite female artist MIA is doing a concert in NYC this July and I’m too excited to type right now. I so can’t wait! Look for me on stage just like the last time I went to her concert at the McCarren Pool in Williamsburg.

When: July 24th, 2010.
Where: Governor’s Island, NJ
Tickets: Buy them here.

Rihanna’s new video Hard has taken over the music channels and my iPod. I love the song, although while watching the video, I was more and more confused by all of Rihanna’s looks – from modernist spikes on her shoulders to the thong under sheer tights and finally the black electrical tape as pasties. Instead of saying “I’m so hard” like her lyrics, her outfits scream “I’m trying so hard”.

The one thing that I instantly thought of when I saw the video was how similar to MIA Rihanna looks. Her make up in the badass look below seems like a total rip off from MIA’s Paper Planes video.

There’s nothing wrong with copying or taking inspiration from other artists, but I just wish Riri would be more original.
