Eros Ramazzotti ~ Noi Drops Today 11-13-12

My favorite Italian, Eros Ramazzotti
has a new album, entitled "Noi"
that drops today, November 13 2012.

Unless you are in The USA, that is.
(Which, in my opinion, is not particularly
land-of-the-free-ish.)

If you are in the euro zone you can
get a list of itunes stores that have it here.
 If you are stateside, who only knows when we will get it.

Eros Ramazzotti, Noi, tour

There is also a tour starting in March of 2013
Noticeably no US dates yet.
But thats cool - I'm always up for a trip to Italia.

Eros Ramazzotti, Noi

The rest of the world got to see the fabulous new video
for the first single, Un Angelo Disteso Al Sole
                   a few weeks back, but that too is still not available 
                                               in the USA.

So instead here is another gorgeous piece of eye candy,
combining Eros and Paris.
I can happily watch it all day.
Controvento




Although the tour doesn't start until 2013, here is a taste of Eros live.
And ladies, you are welcome :)
Ti Vorrei Rivivere...
e mi torna in mente quando eri
la ragazza del mio cuore tu
quella luce che negli occhi avevi
come vedo non si e' spenta piu'
ti vorrei ti vorrei rivivere
anche solo per un' attimo
io vorrei rivivere
quella prima volta io e te



Eros, ci vediamo subitooooo!! xo

Driven2Honor ~ Veteran's Day

So how did you spend your Veteran's Day?
Me - I was on an editorial shoot, so this post is a little late in launching, but still valid nonetheless.

I want to tell you about a charity that
specifically works with female veterans.
My dear friend Jennifer Jo Cobb is a racecar driver
in both the NASCAR Nationwide Series and 

Team member (and very close friend) Denise Harmon-Mixon, Jennifer and me, trackside at qualifying,PIR

Jen has a charity called Driven2Honor,
which honors female veterans.
At every race 2 local female vets
who have won prestigious garage and pit passes,
 get to experience full VIP treatment

On top of that Jennifer has a full line of merchandising
for the Driven2Honor program, helping to raise money
for female veterans returning home from deployment.

There are 6500 homeless female veterans here in the USA.
Driven2Honor is geared toward raising funds to secure
them a safe place to live, and also to empower female veterans
with career resources to start their new life,
including mentorship, retraining, technology assistance
 and even wardrobe. 

You can do your part to help female veterans by 
purchasing items from the Driven2Honor collection.
 
Also, inspite of the incredible financial burden on small race teams, Jennifer is donating 10% of sponsorship funding for the 2013 season to the Driven2Honor program. 

Jen and me, no doubt talking about boys or haircare products or makeup, trackside at Phoenix International Raceway.
 
*Portions of the empowerment program are still in development

Etro's Spectacular Fall 2012 Collection ~ Interview Russia

Fall/Winter fashion normally bores me to tears

I don't know what is more exciting - the art-deco inspired prints
or the exquisite cut of those 70's inspired pants.
I think I would crawl through broken glass for those pants.
