Giorgia Meloni is the seventh most powerful woman in the world

“As the head of Italy's most right-wing government since the end of World War II, Meloni is a controversial figure whose political future remains uncertain,” states an article recently published on Forbes.com.

Taylor Swift rules on the football arena

 

We all know that not long ago Taylor Swift (34 years old) was crowned the queen of Singapore

As success calls another, the superstar of pop music will soon be competing with one of the world's great football teams: Real Madrid. Thus, Taylor will hold a concert at the "Santiago Bernabeu" on May 30. Faced with this challenge, the Madrid club asked the Spanish federation to postpone the match of the last stage, which was to be played against Betis Sevilla, at home on May 26.

The reason: Real Madrid officials claim they need more time to prepare the stadium to welcome the artist and prepare the stage and want additional time to prepare her concert

Consequently, Real Madrid submitted a request to the federation to move their last game of the season. Moreover, Real is trying to find an additional date to host a second concert by the American, given the huge interest.

Acceptance of the request could complicate the situation in La Liga, since it is possible that both teams play for high stakes in the last stage.

The match Real Madrid vs Betis could decide the title and a place in European competitions.

According to the calendar, for reasons of sporting fairness, all matches in the final stage should be played on May 26, from the same time, 18:30. A possible solution advanced by those from The Athletic could be the advance of the other games that matter for the fight for the title and the one for the European cups.

Transparent materials, risky or not?

Not risky, I guess. The main benefit of such a gown is that it is great for anyone.  Thanks to a wide range of transparent  dresses that differ in design, silhouette, decor, and other characteristics, you can choose a classical dress or a dress style for daring, confident girls. Perhaps, it will be a revelation for you.                                                                                                                                                                                      Designers can make your dream come true — create a dress from tulle or chiffon embroidered with various patterns in which you will be able to enjoy the life. You won’t walk in your underwear covered with a thin fabric. You mau be sure, that designers will make up something tricky — there is a lower cover under the transparent upper layer. It is made from a non-transparent fabric of darker shade — mocha, beige, pink.

Lace, chiffon, tulle, so many dress materials transparently revealing the body of women, sublimated by the creations of Yves Saint Laurent. This exhibition presents around forty textiles, including iconic pieces: the first topless blouse (1968) or the Nude Dress, a black muslin dress belted with ostrich feathers.

The Yves Saint Laurent Museum Paris presents, from February 9 to August 25, 2024, Yves Saint Laurent: Transparencies, the power of materials, second chapter of a story started last summer at the City of Lace and Fashion in Calais .

The exhibition is structured around 5 sections.

• introduction, exploring several pieces made of organza, Cigaline®, lace, tulle or even muslin with different effects.
• the woman's body gradually revealed thanks to the use of lace and tulle,
• the fluidity of movement generated by soft fabrics, such as muslin, which animate the body, cover it and reveal it,
• construction lines of a garment which allow the body to be structured, like the tracing patterns presented for the first time,
• silhouettes of brides reinvented with their tulle veil in unfathomable freedom.

Best anti-Covid-19 vaccine - A country pays Taylor Swift to come

Singapore revealed on Tuesday that it has granted a grant to the American singer Taylor Swift, star planetaire de la pop, pour qu'elle se produise dans la cité-État, seule étape en Asie du sud-est de sa tourne The Eras.

The Singapore authorities refused to reveal the amount of the subsidy, and did not indicate whether an exclusivity agreement had been concluded, hiding behind the confidentiality of business contracts.

They stressed that the star's concerts are expected to "generate significant benefits for the Singapore economy".

Six sold-out concerts

A veteran of the entertainment industry who did not wish to be named told AFP that it "wasn't unusual to ask" for exclusive contracts, but that it "wasn't so usual for artists to accede to this request.

After the Covid-19 pandemic, Singapore attracted many international artists, including South Korean K-pop girl group Blackpink, British singers and musicians Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran, and British pop rock group Coldplay .

Taylor Swift is scheduled to perform six sold-out concerts at the Singapore National Stadium in early March, where more than 300,000 spectators are expected.

After Singapore, the singer will continue her tour in Europe. The profits from this tour are estimated at the astronomical sum of 2 billion dollars.

Birthday suit the best clothing choice

Pop star Ciara attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party with her husband Russell Wilson, and she was wearing a gorgeous crosshatched gown by Dundas with a pair of Santoni high-heeled shoes. The dress was made of black sheer material and studded with jewels, hugging to every curve it didn't reveal.

The sheer look has been quite popular on the red carpet and fashion runways this year, and in fact quite a few people wore similar styles to the event. 

Her husband seemed to have no issue with how his wife was dressed on the real red carpet, and even went shirtless underneath his black suit for the evening. Not that what Wilson has to say about her style matters as much as Ciara's own clothing choices — but it's good to have a husband who is also your biggest fan.

Why are more women embracing apparent nudity over appropriate dress?

First and foremost, because more and more women are proud of their bodies and want to show it off to the world. 

Second, photographers pay good money to be part of that woman's life ...

Can Taylor Swift Become the Master of the World? (II)

I asked this question in the previous post. I thought it was an interesting one

Well, knowing what the question is referring to, I would really like to answer in the negative way. I also have some reasons that I will include below:

First and foremost, I must say that symptomatic of the fallow pubescent meadows, the biggest of Taylor's cored Fane club is very young, 13–14 years old, suffice to say that they are not about to vote. We have plenty of time to die between now and then.

In addition, she has already tried to influence an election in Tennessee in 2018, on the basis of tomorrow we shave for free and for which her favorite candidate broke his neck.

At most and very important to me, taking a stand she will lose sales. This will happen because, undoubtedly, she will be booed and stoned in the media by a part of the American people, very likely.

The divisions are far too marked, unless we consider that she can influence the in-between, that part of the undecided or disappointed electorate in one camp or the other and particularly in its native state.

Especially since, proof of her modernity or her senility, Joe Biden confuses her with Britney Spears.

One after another, remaining skeptical, I cannot see Taylor as ae electoral weapon in Biden's favor.

Can Taylor Swift Become the Master of the World? (I)

Through her call to vote for Biden or Trump, can Taylor Swift rock the world order? Has she become the true master of the world?

This question makes me courious to try a word game in English:

“Can the country be saved or doomed by the country star?”

A legitimate question if ever our tailor is quick to react to political news (this one is in French based on "my Taylor is Swift").

Indeed, the tall pole native of Reading - 1m80 - in addition to knowing how to read, is a mega-star there who, at the age of Christ, had already broken many records:

Taylor Swift female artist with the most number 1 albums in sales in the USA

One in fifteen vinyls sold in the United States in 2023 was by Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift's music is listened to more in the United States than the jazz and classical genres combined. So, of course, it does not walk on water but on the record industry, does not multiply the rolls but the downloads, an important fact in this all-digital world.

So, Can Taylor Swift Become the Master of the World?

Jennifer Lopez is kissing too much with Ben Affleck. Is this absurd?

Jennifer Lopez,  54-year-old,  has been married four times. She first got engaged Ben Affleck in 2002, an event that inspired her to release the hugely successful album "This is Me...Then", but the wedding was cancelled in 2003 and the couple split a few months later.

In 2021, the two artists decided to start dating again and eventually got married in July 2022.

Two days ago, on Tuesday evening, the premiere of the film "This Is Me...Now: A Love Story" took place in Hollywood, in which the actress and singer explores her experiences related to love and relationships. The film delves into her love life and the nature of relationships, including with herself, through the characters in this dramatic film whose script was also written by the artist.

In an interview with Reuters, Jennifer said, "It became more important for me to develop as a person and as an artist, to be more vulnerable and to be more honest about things."

However, all sorts of comments are made on the sidelines, like this: "I don't know why, but it seems to me that you are investing too much in yourself and Ben"

Another sour remark came from a great actress: "Listen to me, life is more than trying to prove something to someone, instead of living it. You know very well, every photo you are in shows you kissing and hugging, This is absurd".

Other negative comments were sparked by images of Ben Affleck that were captured at the 2023 Grammy Awards, in which he had a very serious mime. Those around him thought that "He looks so unhappy, I wonder: 'Oh my God, what happened?'
