And Now For Something A Little Different

I thought I'd mix things up a bit today, taffetadarlings.  Friday night, I was thrilled to attend my good friend Jensen's CD release party at the Living Room downtown (click here to read the artists' bio on the Living Room's site) .  To learn more about this super talented singer/songwriter and to find out where to buy her self-titled album, check out her webiste.

Baptiste Giabiconi

I'm a sucker for rock stars.  Always have been.  The clothes, the hair, the attitude.  When will I ever grow up?  Well, I came across this clip on YouTube the other day and suddenly, something changed. 

Lagerfeld's muse, Baptiste Giabiconi talks about his debut single

There's no denying the Kaiser's latest boy toy is really easy on the eyes and I haven't seen hair like that since Charlie Sexton (swoon),  but what is this cheese-pop garbage he's calling music? 

Baptiste poses with his guitar.  But, can he actually PLAY it?

Charlie Sexton poses with HIS guitar.  Hell yes, he can play that thing!

Apparently, boyfriend Karl Lagerfeld has been pushing Baptiste Giabiconi into become a recording artist and 50 Cent mixed Baptiste's first single titled, "Showtime."  Karl, we love you, but you should stick to fashion.  You've got a lot on your plate in that arena and we all depend on you to keep Chanel looking chic and Fendi looking fresh.

Baptiste and Karl take a stroll...

Comments or thoughts?  Hot or not?  Can this guy sing or should he just stick to looking purty?

Vivaldi and Keets

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending my dear friend Jensen's gig at Cafe Vivaldi down on Jones St.  The venue was cozy, but maybe a little too cozy to squeeze in all Jen's fans, a piano and a cello!  Thank goodness Jensen Keets is a petite little thing and doesn't take up much space!

Jensen's self titled debut album

I have known this very talented singer/songwriter since our days together at FIT (yes, she is a designer as well!).  You know how it is when you're a creative person -- we tend to dabble in more than one artistic element.  Well, Jensen played an amazing set last night and I just wanted to share her MySpace page so that you can have a listen, sign up as a fan or download a song or two.  Enjoy...
