Spalding makes history with best new artist win
Posted by 3sha Entertainment, feature, News 7:14 PM
Esperanza Spalding has performed for President Barack Obama, with jazz legends like Herbie Hancock — even before thousands of eager Prince fans.
But the acclaimed jazz singer and bassist was thrust onto the biggest stage of her life Sunday as she captured the best new artist trophy at the Grammy Awards, making history in the process. The 26-year-old Portland, Ore., native became the first jazz artist to win the award in a stunner that saw her defeat Mumford & Sons, Florence and the Machine, rapper Drake, and the heavy favorite, teen pop phenom Justin Bieber.
"I feel really lucky that I got to be acknowledged on this stage in front of so many people who hopefully will get to experience my music, and I got there by doing what's really dear to my heart," said Spalding backstage after her win.
You could say Spalding is the jazz world's Bieber: a young sensation who has been a top-seller in the genre, and with amazing hair, usually worn in a huge Afro. Her talents are deep: she's also a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer and arranger; was the youngest instructor at the renowned Berklee College of Music; and counts Prince as one of her musical mentors — not to mention that White House concert.
Her latest album, "Chamber Music Society," blended her classical background with her jazz material. She had hoped for a nomination in the jazz categories and was surprised to be nominated for best new artist instead.
Things were still surreal for her after her big win: "It's already weird that I'm here, sitting in front of you," she told reporters backstage.
Spalding said her Grammy win was just the beginning in what she hoped would be a rich, long career in jazz.
"In the world I come from, this is the beginning of the beginning. I'm 26 ... people (in jazz) are more older than me, and they're still ascending," she said.
Which may be another thing she has in common with Bieber, with whom she hung out backstage after her win.
"He has great hair, and I have great hair!" she joked.

Nail art on one short French manicured nail. Many manicures with nail art are on long nails (more nail length gives you more canvas to paint on), and each nail has art affixed to or painted on it. But this photo of bridal nails shows you that could can wear nail art on short nails, and keep it simple with just one enhanced nail. Good place to start if you're new to nail art. You can experiment with one nail before you get a full set of decorated fingernails.

Posted by 3sha Accessories, feature 4:20 AM



Female back tattoo is definitely a very fashionable idea these days. Gone are the days when people considered it an outdated and laughable idea. The female back tattoos were said to be for only the “loose” ladies. Especially the lower back tattoo was called the “tramp stamp”. It is not so any more. Only close minded critics would think that an attractive woman who has a tattoo on her back body must be immoral and unsatisfied. Things have turned around and today the modern woman is strong, independent and fashionable and she would strongly consider a female back tattoo to boldly express her personality.

The filming is subject to change but basically the story is this: The producer Grant Curtis, actor Dylan Baker and even the director have all seem to come to the conclusion that fans were distracted by the sheer number of villains seen in the previous Spider-Man and Sam Raimi has said that he wants to go back to the basics. After the many interviews and comments it is unanimous that the Lizard will probably be the one and only "Villain". The Lizard who has, Dr. Curt Connors as an opponent has been somewhat introduced in previous films; as a matter of fact it leads to speculate that is could be seen that the animal research he is seen involved with in Spider-Man 3 will probably be the cause of his transformation or as some call it mutation into the monster he will become...
So it seems that is will be the first of the Spider-Man Series Movies that will not include one of the classical Arch-enemies. The Green Goblin, Venom and Doctor Octopus will all have to go and recharge their batteries while Peter Parker fights another kind of evil probably one who's powers reside in the mind and not superpowers.

Be sure to add charm to your window treatment with a decorative curtain rod. Curtain rods are available in almost any shape, size and style you can think of. Find the perfect curtain rod for your project on our window treatments site. If drapes or
curtains don't appeal to you, mount a decorative rod and drape a sheer scarf along the window. This is a simple and inexpensive way to jazz up your window.

Decorative Accessories
Why are accessories so important? For starters, they complete the decor. And they often liven up an otherwise sparse-looking room. All accessories, whether they are personal treasures or objects chosen specifically for the room, should be compatible with the decorating scheme. The items should relate in some way to the color plan and the overall mood of the room. Here are some tips for accessorizing your home:
Place odd numbers of objects together.
Don't create visual clutter by placing too many items together. Three or five accessories are more interesting to the eye than seven or 10.
Vary the heights of items to make your arrangement visually appealing.
Don't use all one material, such as glass, unless you are going to display
an entire collection.
Use books and boxes when displaying small items to make the item appear to be
on a stand and take up more space.
