Born This Way Banned... AGAIN?!

Yep, you heard it. Lady Gaga's epic gay-loving album, Born This Way, has been banned in yet another country.

There's Gaga above, who won the Fashion Icon prize this week at the CDFA Fashion Awards.

Also this week, BTW was banned in Lebanon, after Father Abdo Abu Kassm, director of the Lebanon Catholic Information Centre announced the following:

"If they are going to offend us we are going to cancel the album. We will not accept that anyone insult the Virgin Mary or Jesus or Christianity ... Call us traditional, call us backward, call us whatever you want. We will not accept it."

So basically, Father Kassm is inviting us to call his people ridiculous. Surely if those religious people that this records 'offends' hate the idea of religious 'insults' so much, they just wouldn't buy it?

Also, have Lebanon not heard how Gaga herself is Catholic?

Gaga frequently mentions her love for God and her faith, prays every time she goes on-stage and her tweets reflect that fact.

Furthermore, she has explained the meaning of the song 'Judas' - one of the songs which is causing this controversy, and have revealed that Judas is simply a metaphor for a guy she dated and kept going back to, even though he betrayed her. (Which is sort of what happened in the Bible).

I'm also pretty sure that Gaga's hit single Born This Way, which contains the lyrics "No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgender life, I'm on the right track, baby, I was born to survive", were some of those words that also offended said Catholic religion mongers.

Why don't they just censor or cut those words from the album? I mean, I'm sure Gaga would be opposed to it, but it doesn't mean that those in Lebanon who are struggling with their sexuality should be forbidden from hearing her song about individuality.

Personally, I find this ridiculous that today, free speech and freedom to purchase which music records you want to purchase are forbidden in certain countries.

Which country do you think will ban Born This Way next? Comment below!

My Weekly Girlcrush.

Okay, there are 2 things to clear up before I start.

1) I'd choose none of the women I mention in this new weekly post over my girlfriend.

2) My yearly Top 20 Gorgeous Ladies is coming up, so I'm just going to choose random people each week that I often find myself crushing on, rather than listing my FAVOURITE ladies.

Now that's out of the way...

Let me introduce you to Adele.

I get it, you don't need to be introduced to her. Everyone knows her.

Not only is she one of the UK's best homegrown talents, she's now absolutely huge in the US.

Her full name is actually Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, but she doesn't need those extra names. She's now one of those pop stars who don't need a last name. (Think Britney, Madonna, Cher, Christina...) Adele is Adele and that's why I love her.

Not only does she have an amazing voice, her song-writing abilities are tremendous. Her current album, 21, peaked at number 1 in over 10 countries. That's a lot of albums sold. Her first album, 19, has sold more than 1,000,000 copies in the United States alone. And she's only 21.

What I really love about Adele, however, is who she's stepped away from the regular 'conventional' pop star exterior. Everyone thinks of a pop star as a stick thin, semi-naked blonde with a wild side and a wild upbringing. (Again, think Britney...) But Adele is far from that.

Anyone who tells me that Adele is 'fat' has another thing coming. She's not obese, she's not 'chubby', she's REAL. Real women don't look like popstars. Think of the last woman you were sat in a room with. Did she look like Nicole Sherzinger? Nope, didn't think so.

Another positive: she has a super pretty face. I mean, she's really easy on the eye. Her lips, her eyes, all beautiful. She's cute.

So Adele, you're my first Weekly Girlcrush. You make me happy, your music makes me sad, but I love you all the same.

Uh Huh Her News

I'm sure it's a while since we've properly heard of these two gorgeous ladies.

Yep, you all know The L Word's Leisha Hailey on the left, and the equally beautiful one on the right is lead vocalist of their band Uh Huh Her, Camila Grey.

All you really to know is that, right now, the duo are touring North America and Canada, and I'm pretty sure they're headlining an all-girl music fest in the UK in the summer.

The band also have a brand new EP out titled 'Black & Blue', which you can purchase on their website.

Watch the following video to hear how the pair ended up writing a song for Oscar-nominated lesbian movie The Kids Are All Right, starring Annette Bening and Julianne Moore.

A Fairy Tale.

He loves fashion.
He loves music.
He adores anything..
He lives on his own music + eccentric
world and stuff.
Everything was perfect but suddenly......

What's up with the box?
Curious!
He stole it from
the witch live at the back of his house.

After a period of time...,
something happens to him.
He grow up like a cocoon.
He acting like a weird.
The curse of the box?

Many days to come.
Yoga came first in his mind.
Maybe his mind and his
soul trap in the box.
So he need to be cool sometimes.
Poor him..

At least he smile!
He know how hard it was,
to be a different kind of thing.

Here.
At last he became a fairy.
Struggling in life
and
fierce!

The journey of hope starts right now!
The box had made turn him into
something else.
A fairytale.
End.

david crowder band

This week I haven't been playing much music except during my car rides. I'm not the type of person that listens to their iPod through campus and hardly when I'm at home. But during my flight back to Texas I had David Crowder playing multiple times. Not only am I drawn to the lyrics, but it always inspires me for a painting.

Thanks guys for creating music!

Lady Gaga To Release New Single TOMORROW!

So, little Monsters, who's the biggest gay icon of today?

Whether you love her or loathe her, it's clearly Lady Gaga.

With a serious, political side to her which advocates gay rights to the extreme, Gaga releases music and is seen wearing crazy outfits like there's no tomorrow.

It seems there is no end to her gay advocating related events, but tomorrow, she releases her brand new single, 'Born This Way', which has lyrics that celebrate the LGBT lifestyle, along with our straight allies who were simply born the way they were.

Gaga's new single is sure to become a gay anthem, as no other song - not even one of Elton John fame - celebrates the LGBT society as much as this one is anticipated to. And from the previously released lyrics, it is definitely one to watch.

Look out for the new single tomorrow (11th February) and let me know what you think!
