We have found the ultimate item for any Michael Jackson fan. It is the Red Shirt that Michael Jackson wears in This Is It. He can be seen wearing this shirt design in the movie trailer, in the movie itself, in YouTube videos and in the photo booklet that comes with the music CD.  The shirt Michael is seen wearing is a design from Los Angeles designer brand, Mission Clothing.  Rather than buying a mass produced Michael Jackson t shirt to remember and commemorate the King of Pop you can actually own the same Red Lion Button front shirt design that Michael himself wore.

The Southern California retail boutique, Perpetual Vogue handles retail sales for Mission Clothing and they have the shirt available on their web site, TattooApparel.com . The design is trademarked by Mission Clothing and the authentic Mission design is only available from an authorized Mission Clothing dealer such as TattooApparel.com.

We think that Michael and his stylists were probably attracted to the Mission Lion Shirt because Michael seemed to have a fondness for stage wear fashions in the color red and for the fact that the shirt has a large silver tone letter M on the front. The M actually stands for the brand name but it is also the King of Pop’s initial. Mission Clothing makes high quality fashions with a a lot of detailing which makes them a fashion favorite with celebrities and rockers. All Mission Clothing is made in the USA. Mission Shirts have a smaller more fitted cut than other brands so most guys go up a size. They are popular with the ladies too who like to wear them over leggings.

The shirt is available while supplies last at TattooApparel.com and they do ship worldwide. A press release regarding the shirt can be seen at PRWeb.

Last week, LeapFish, an upcoming search and social media innovator, unveiled the new multi-media and real-time search, communication and sharing platform that gives consumers the most convenient, fun and personalized way to experience and share the traditional and real-time Web – they’re calling it the new “Living Web.”

So, trying to be on the top of things, I checked out the LeapFish website and was immediately drawn to the “Celebrity News” section which is powered by US Magazine.

Then I tested out their search box feature – I decided to search for “Blake Lively” since she seems to be a hot topic among celebrity fashionistas.  The search engine results brought up real-time content, including breaking news results on Blake Lively from E! Online via Google, Blake’s Wikipedia page, Web Pages about Blake Lively from Google, Yahoo and Bing, Videos including and about Blake Lively on YouTube, the latest Twitter tweets about Blake Lively, Blog Results talking about Blake Lively, and Images of Blake Lively from Google Images and Flickr.

If you search “Real Time” you can also see Digg Results on Blake Lively. And then you can shop for any “Blake Lively” related via Amazon and Ebay.

I was impressed, as now I can search all variety of the web about any celebrity, any one, any thing!

Which celebrities do you follow on Twitter?  If you follow Kim Kardashian @KimKardashian or Holly Madison @HollyMadison123 chances are you’ve read some of their updates that they were paid to tweet! Both gals are among several celebrities that use Sponsored Tweets – a Twitter advertising platform that connects advertisers with tweeters. And you don’t have to be a celebrity to use it and make money! I personally signed up with @StealTheStyle (you do follow me already, right?!?) and have already made some moolah.  You get to pick and choose what you tweet out (by approving, disapproving or rewriting the tweets), so I don’t tweet out anything that is irrelevant to my readers. You have nothing to lose by signing up, only the opportunity to make some extra spending cash!

I first saw a Cirque du Soleil performance while aboard an airplane watching the in-flight television free channel available. I was enthralled by the talent of the performers and made it a point that the next time I visited Las Vegas, I would see a live Cirque du Soleil show. And I did!

My first Cirque du Soleil show that I saw two years ago was Zumanity, a provocative cabaret-style production that left me in awe for more. Then last year, I saw KA, an unprecedented, gravity-defying production that takes adventure to an all new level. Again, I’m in awe yearning for more!

So this year, this coming weekend, in fact, when I’m in Las Vegas for BlogWorld, I have tickets to see LOVE, the musical legacy of The Beatles. I am so excited, as from the reviews of my friends, this one is better than the previous ones I’ve seen!

Now I just saw there is a new Cirque du Soleil show entitled Banana Shpeel, a joyful rendez-vous with beauty and power of the human body that is a roller-coaster mix of styles that blends comedy with tap, hip hop, eccentric dance and slapstick, all linked by a hilarious narrative that ignites a succession of wacky adventures.

Right now they are currently only touring in Chicago and New York City, which are also cities I frequent, so maybe I’ll get a chance to see the Banana Man, Emmett and Shmelky live in person. Learn more about the Cirque du Soleil Banana Shpeel show here!

My impression – whether born out of the Beat poets of the 1950’s or just my imagination – is that sunglasses are the highest focused accessory. Poetry = esoteric symbolism. Sunglasses = hidden mystery. Get it? Poets are the eyes of the world, sunglasses play up the eyes. Such a strong statement is even starker when juxtaposed against a background of wrinkled shirts and faded blue jeans, so typical of today’s poet’s wardrobe. Are poets so driven by their eyes that a steam iron doesn’t suit their vocabulary, or their clothes closet?

But the 1950’s were a long time ago. Are today’s poets still living in the past? Is it time to upgrade, refresh a wardrobe? Or, would you not recognize a modern bard when you see one? Should we even be making a fuss about their time-honored “look” instead of gulping down their words in sheer ecstacy? Besides, how many poets are there anyway? I was surprised to learn that in June 2009 over 11 million people Googled “poems.” I have the feeling that many of those 11 million are poets themselves. And I’d really like to know what they are wearing.

I saw an early photo of Billy Collins online where his tieless, open-collared shirt and crumply-looking sports jacket spoke volumes about leisure. Another more recent snapshot captures him in a blue shirt with rolled-up sleeves, and blue jeans. He’s still in leisure mode. Is he the universal poet with the typical non-sparkly wardrobe?

I recently found two fashion websites that I want to pass on to you. Both are competitors for the Nuffnang awards for best blogs. Both show awesome clothes for what I envision as the garb of the “new poet.” http://ohsofickle.com.sg sells their designs, and http://monoxious.com has some great pics of Phi’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection in white, black and khaki, as well as some graffiti designs.

If you could design a new look for poets, what would you suggest? Over-the-knee boots, lots of red, nose rings?

Okay, I’m getting addicted to the Red Chair Confessions Video Blog! It’s a weekly video cast that’s been keeping me in suspense as to what the gal in the video’s true confession is! The minute and a half long videos suggest (to me anyway) that her secret is something “dirty”. Something tells me that in the end, it’s going to be something funny, like having a shoe addiction!

In the first video entitled “Forgive Me Father”, the gal confesses to a priest in church in a confessional booth. The second video entitled “Therapeutic?” (as seen above) she confesses to a therapist that she’s had a relapse. The third video entitled “Mamma’s Little Secret” was just released today where she tapes a self-confession video in her closet.

I’m presuming several more episodes will debut as the introduction on the site show various people that would be confidants, such as a Friends, Bartender, Shrink, Personal Assistant, Taxi Driver, Physic Hotline, Mom, Hairdresser, etc. I think another good confidant would be a pet, like a dog.  Even though I hate dogs, I think it would be a good angle on the show.

You can watch all previous and upcoming new episodes on RedChairConfessions.com. What do YOU think she is confessing??

Did you watch the truTV’s Rehab Season premiere on Tuesday, September 1st (2009) at 10p / 9c? If not, you can watch Sneak Peeks online and tune in for all new episodes on Tuesday at 10p / 9c.

So, what is truTV’s Rehab?

Go behind the scenes of Rehab, the hottest party in the world’s sexiest city. Get an inside look at how security and staff indulge big-spending customers but still keep the chaos under control. This season, the scene at the pool is even hotter with celebrity performances, more partiers and new Rehab staffers trying to learn the ropes. Plus, competition from neighboring hotel pool parties and the pressure to keep sales up during this troubled economy has everyone trying to keep Rehab the biggest and best party on the Vegas Strip.

Looks like a total fun and excitement to me that I wish I could be there! I’ve been to the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, but never there for an actual party, just sight-seeing and some gambling. But I’ve been other parties in Las Vegas (at the Palm’s, Wynn, Rio, etc), so can vividly imagine what it would be like. Although if I was there, not sure I’d want to be part of real life television for all to see!

The GRAMMY Foundation was founded in 1989 to cultivate the awareness, appreciation and advancement of the contribution of recorded music on American culture from the artistic and technical legends of the past to the still unimagined musical breakthroughs of the future generations of music professionals.

Wow.  I was just watching Anna Nicole in the news last night about the allegations of Howard K. Stern’s involvement in her son, Daniel’s death last fall.  And how Larry Birkhead filed a paternity suit on her newborn daughter, Dannielynn.  And now today she is dead.  Anyone want to bet against me that it was a drug-overdose?  And did you know her real name was Vickie Lynn Hogan?

Anna Nicole’s 39 years have been quite fulfilling… From Stripper to Playboy Model to wife of 89-year-old millionaire J. Howard Marshall II to weight-loss supplment TrimSpa spokeswoman.  Want a remembrance of Anna? Download Free Anna Nicole Wallpaper.
