[pablitogavii]

Best Friends Little Sister Pt. 1

Here is the very first part..hope you enjoy reading this storyline! There will be MANY parts if you like the story 💗💗💗

Fucking great! I've barely been here twenty four hours and I'm already in so much fucking trouble!

When i finally convinced my parents to let me go to Barcelona for uni, they only agreed if it meant staying with my older brother Pedri and not making any problems to his very important football career. He was always the golden boy in the household..I was kind of like a wild goose.

Of course I promised to behave..I would basically promise anything just so they let me go! Besides my best friend Masa was going too!

Tonight was a big event..back to school party night..with some after party VIP event which I of course had tickets for knowing who my brother is in these circles. Masa and I didn't think twice than to sneak out night before first day of classes and enjoy some privileges having a famous brother gives.

We promised not to drink..but beer pong seemed irresistible at the time which then turned into some shots and finally we needed a ride back home. A handsome looking black man walked up to me offering another drink but I refused. I was already getting sick of everything I had..and I wanted to go home.

"Hmm you know who I am guapa? I'm Vinicius Jr.." he said slurring his words..now that I took a look at him I obviously knew the guy..how could one miss the diamond chain he had on with his name on it..poser! His hand wrapped around my waist shamelessly and I felt sickened to my stomach..I should be home now!

"And you know who I am!? I'm Pedri's little sister and a Culé for life so get lost!" I said pushing him off and walking to make a phone call to only person other than my brother I knew in town..Pablo Gavi.

Morning Pedri picked me up from the airport Gavi was there..they were just getting back from training and we went to have some lunch together. Of course we were stopped by hoards of girls screaming both of their names..it was kind of embarrassing to think of my brother as alpha male in Barca but couldn't say I didn't get girls being obsessed with Gavi..he was certainly something else in person.

Broad shoulders..veiny arms..long fingers..fuck! And those eyes looking at you like he's already seen you naked..everything screamed DOMINANCE!! Don't even get me started on his hair..and did you know what he called me...!?

"Hola pequeñita, que necesitas ahora?" Pablo's groggy but still sexy voice broke my train of thought and I knew that I just woke him up.Better him than my brother I thought..I explained everything and he was on his way to pick us up. That was lucky that he didn't call my brother and snitched on me!

"Alright, hop in!" he pulled up getting out and opening both doors for me and my best friend to get inside..what a gentleman!

"Who got you into this party!? Aren't you like underage?" he asked me sitting at the passenger seat while Masa was already passed out in the back. I showed him the fake I brought from him seeing his jaw clenching..fuck I was getting so horny by it now!!

"Besides I faked Pedri's signature for the owner and he looked the other way for tonight..it's back to school night" you explain giggling at your own brilliant idea looking at Pablo's still serious face.

"You're trouble.." Pablo's voice was low and somehow demanding and I felt my panties water thinking of all the ways he could tame me right now..fuck I was so screwed if he kept biting his lower lips like that!

When we arrived at my best friends house, he helped me take her into dorm..she's so lucky she's living alone! Then he drove me to Pedri's mansion on the periphery of town..I learned during the drive that his mansion isn't far away either.

Must be nice being a young millionaire..smoking hot and wanted by every female in Spain..what is this I felt?? Was I really jealous!?

"Do you ever smile grumpy!?" I giggled as he opened the door seeing that I already took off my heels sighing before picking them up and carrying me bridal style into the house with a hidden spare key.

"I prefer to sleep at 3AM and not smile, vale!?" he said and I kept giggling like he was saying the funniest joke while resting my head onto his shoulder.

"You know about the spare key too..you guys are really close friends huh?" I say poking his cheek but he moves my finger while nodding his head.

"But..you'll lie for me..hmm..q..que mono" I poke him again as he quietly walks upstairs and into my room locking the door behind himself. He sushed me but I giggled making him cover my mouth with his veiny hand. Fuck it turned me on!

"Bueno, you're home safe and I can go..just don't wake Pedri up bueno?" he said putting me down but I reached to grab his hand and pull him back shyly..I didn't want him to go..fuck I wanted him so bad right now.

"Que haces pequeñita, huh? Eres mala..muy mala" he whispers the last part walking closer until my back his the wall and I were trapped there by his strong arms.

"Porque?" I play dumb biting my lip as Pablo raised my chin slowly licking his lips while looking at my hungrily.

"Your brother is right next door..and here you are..pulling me close..driving me crazy with that dress..and that sweet scent..you know I'm a man too" he slip his arm around my waist and a shiver moved down my spine as he whispered things into my ear.

"I'm so weak for you..f..fuck!" he whispered kissing the side of my neck and my moan rather loudly making him smirk but cover my mouth quickly.

"Do you want to get us in trouble pequeñita, huh?" he said and I shook my head making him uncover my lips and move closer making me unable to breathe from excitement.

"Mi nena buena.." he said kissing my lips passionately as my whole body melted into his strong grasp. Things were happening fast..as both of us ended up with our naked bodies interconnected and completely lost in each other forgetting about anything else.

Alarm was ringing as my head was pounding and I woke up resting on Pablo's naked chest...it's the first day of school..fuck!! Pedri's best friend was naked in my bed..FUCK!

Pablo somehow managed to sneak out since Pedri left super early for practice but he was late which made all the boys tease him during rondo.

"He must of been with a girl!" Ansu said passing him the ball and Pablo avoided Pedri's eye contact at all times. He screwed up badly this time..his little sister was off limits! Fuck!

"At least tell us she was a good fuck" Balde smirked and Pablo hit the ball little too hard hitting him in process before walking to run the mile. He was angry at himself, but also couldn't stop smelling me on his skin..I was his secret craving he couldn't stop thinking about.

Masa noticed my tired eyes the moment we met in class but she just thought it was a hangover from last night. I didn't tell her about Pablo..how was I supposed to start that conversation!? Not even one day in a new city and I already slept with my brother's best friend! Really good job Y/n!

pedri: me and gavi are picking you up at 3

me: and gavi?

pedri: yah, is that a problem? i'm his ride home after practice

me: no problem! see you at 3 hermano <3

"Fuck!" I said and Masa picked it up during lunch asking what was going on. I just made up a quick lie how I was sick from shots last night and needed to use a bathroom real quick before last period. Now I am lying to both my brother and best friend..fantastic job stupid!

When they arrived, I first looked at Pablo who was definitely checking me out in my little school uniform..I felt the same chills from last night. Mi nena buena..ran through my mind the entire time as I played with the edge of my school skirt.

"How was school hermanita?" Pedri asked and I just shortly answered that it was fine going back onto my phone avoiding any possible eye contact with Pablo who was clearly as uncomfortable as me in this moment.

"I need to get gas quickly..you two just wait here vale?" he said and before I could protest he was parked at the station and gone. My stomach was rumbling from hunger and nervousness and finally it was Pablo who broke the silence.

"You ate anything today?" he asked genuinely concerned but I just sassed at him for not texting me after last night.

"Since when is that any of your business!?" I say leaning forward to grab a pack of gum but my hair got into his face and I turned to look at him for a second..that's when all hell broke loose.

Gavi was all over me in the back seat of my brothers car pulling on my hair while kissing deeply as I ran my fingers through his curls..fuck I missed this for the whole day!

"Que hacemos!?" I say breathlessly after we pulled away for air and he pulled me closer resting his forehead against mine for a few seconds.

"I don't know pequeñita.." he answered quickly returning to his original position seeing Pedri paying and leaving the station before filling the tank.

"Everything alright here? If you're warm you can turn the AC on hermano?" Pedri said noticing Pablo's sweaty forehead and I giggled to myself in the backseat.

"You ready for tonight hermano? I heard those models will be there too, we can split them evenly if you want, huh?" Pedri was talking about this party tonight they were going to..somehow I was in such a bad mood suddenly.

"Whatever cabrón!" was all Pablo said but I were agitated nevertheless..of course he wanted a model like every other footballer! Why would he want a boring little schoolgirl. When we arrived home, I went out the car door slamming it hard and rushing to my bedroom.

"Que pasa con ella!?" Pedri said annoyed for mistreating his precious baby (the car ofc!) before he and Pablo went inside to play some FIFA and make plans for tonight.

"I don't care what they're planning!" I kept repeating but nevertheless ended up eavesdropping on my brother's conversation picking up the name of the club for the infamous party..a mischievous idea came to mind.

me: you in a mood for another VIP party??

Masa: you don't have to ask me that ever once tia!

Perfect! I thought to myself while picking up a perfect mouth watering outfit for tonight..game is on Gavi!

outfit I chose is tight black tight skirt with gold sparkling top..it was provocative but still lady like.Marching necklace and choker..I knew Pablo has the thing for it from how tightly he held my neck last night.

"Ready to go girlfriend??" Masa picked me up and I went to the club passing the line and walking up straight to the security guard.

"My name is Y/n Gonzalez..Pedri's sister" I say and the security guard didn't seem to believe me at first but when I showed him some pictures he nodded his head.

"And I'm supposed to believe you're both 18?" he said and I smirked giving him a paper with my number on it.

"You're supposed to believe I'll get you tickets for the next El Classico if you let me in" I said and he nodded taking the paper and moving to the side. Good thing everyone in this city is a football fan.

I passed through the dense crowd looking around for Pablo while Masa smirked at every cute looking guy at the bar. She knew her way around a crowd always winning in the number of free drinks she gets for the night.

There he was in all his glory..wearing all black..and with a girl sitting on his lap..her breasts were certainly bigger than her brain and almost spilling out of her shirt. I felt angry..and Masa noticed who I were looking at.

"I knew it! Next time you try to lie to me think twice! It's he you came here for tonight" she said and I pulled her away not wanting to get Pablo's attention when I were in such sour mood.

"I wanted to surprise him but looks like he has company.." I say and Masa smirks noticing Hector already eyeing me from head to toe..or rather from butt to breasts.

"So? You can have company too!" she said as he walked up to me offering a drink and I nodded wanting to show him that two can play the same game. Not even few minutes of dancing with Hector did you feel strong grasp pulling you away and into a secluded corner. Your back hit the wall roughly and you were eye to eye with furious Pablo Gavi...fuck he looked pissed off!

"And what exactly are you doing here pequeñita!?" he said dangerously low and your throat tightened as you looked into his dark eyes..fuck was he beautiful under the dim.

I couldn't make a sound from how nervous I was that he was this close to me right now and he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on me..fucking asshole!

Next thing I knew his lips were back on devouring mine feverishly while his hands lowered on my waist and grabbed my butt shamelessly squeezing and making me moan into his mouth. The the image of that girl on his lap returned and you pulled away from him wiping my lips from his kiss..I were still angry.

"Can't believe you noticed me from her giant breasts!" I sass about to walk away but his grip tightened leaving bruises on my hips but I didn't mind..not if they were Pablo's. He kissed me again.

"Never wipe away my kisses off yourself! She came onto me..and it's cute that you're jealous pequeñita" he said moving my hair behind my ear.

"Just like Hector's hands came onto my butt.." I wanted to fight him back but then I felt a hard smack on my rear making me jump and him smirk victoriously..he was so good with playing with me!

"If that ever happens again I'll make your butt so red you won't be able to sit for weeks.." he whispered into your ear and you closer your eyes enjoying his lips on your neck and shoulders..fuck you were in public and didn't have a single care int he world!

"What am I to you P..Pablo..?" you moaned the question while he left his marks on your neck playing with your choker before wrapping his hand around your throat and looking you directly in the eyes.

"You're only mine pequeñita!" smirks kissing your lips one more time before taking your hand and sneaking you towards his car to drive you home.

Around that same time, Hector asked your brother about you...what a terrible mistake. The boy ended up with a bruise on his eye and you were grounded for a week when Pedri found out you were at the party that night..this was nothing compared to him knowing who took you home from that party ;)

Speeding Bonds: A Sainz Siblings Story

This is my first F1 fanfiction, and I'm excited to share it with you all! It's a bit short, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. Your feedback means a lot to me, so if you like what you read, let me know! If there's interest, I'll definitely add more to the story. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

Character: Name: Ji-min Sainz Age: 23

Background: Ji-min was adopted from South Korea into the Sainz family when she was just a baby. Growing up in Spain, she was immersed in Spanish culture but always felt a connection to her Korean roots. She has a warm relationship with her adoptive family.

Ji-min discovered her passion for music at a young age and pursued it fervently. She auditioned for a talent agency in Barcelona and was selected to be a part of a five-member girl group called "Eclipse." Despite her busy schedule as a K-pop idol.

Meanwhile, her older Carlos Sainz Jr. was making a name for himself in the world of Formula 1 racing. Their paths rarely crossed due to their different careers and lifestyles, but Ji-min secretly followed Carlos's races, feeling proud of his achievements yet also envious of the attention and recognition he received.

As Ji-min's popularity as a K-pop idol soared, she kept her family background a secret, fearing that it might overshadow her own accomplishments and potentially cause unwanted attention. However, deep down, she yearned to connect with her brother.

The story:

SMS

Ji-min: Hey Carlos, it's Ji-min. Hope you're doing awesome today! 🌟

Carlos: Ji-min! What's up, little sis? 😄 Everything good on your end?

Ji-min: Yeah, all good here! Hey, I was actually wondering... would it be cool if I came to one of your races? I've been dying to see you in action, big bro! 🏎️💨

Carlos: Of course it's cool, Ji-min! I'd love to have you there cheering me on. But... are you okay with everyone knowing we're family? I mean, it's kind of a big deal to go public with this stuff.

Ji-min: Totally cool with it, Carli! I've been wanting to shout it from the rooftops for ages. 😄 Plus, I'm super proud of you, big bro! Let's show the world what the Sains siblings are made of!

Carlos: Haha, you're the best, Ji-min! Thanks for always having my back. 😊 Alright then, I'll hook you up with a pass for the race. Get ready for the full VIP treatment!

Ji-min: Woo-hoo! VIP treatment, here I come! 🌟 Thanks a million, Carli. You're the best big bro a girl could ask for!

Carlos: Anytime, Ji-min! Can't wait to see you at the race, little sis. Get ready for some serious fun!

Ji-min: Counting down the days big bro! Vamos!

The day of the race:

At the Australian Grand Prix 2024

Ji-min made her way through the bustling crowds, the sun beating down on her as she walked. She was dressed in a simple sundress, a soft pastel blue that fluttered gently in the warm breeze. The fabric flowed loosely around her figure, offering comfort and ease as she navigated through the throngs of people.

A pair of oversized sunglasses shielded her eyes from the bright sunlight, partially concealing her face and adding a touch of mystery to her appearance. She pulled her hair back into a loose ponytail, strands of dark hair framing her delicate features.

Despite the casual attire, Ji-min moved with a graceful confidence, her steps light and purposeful as she weaved her way through the crowd. She kept her head down slightly, avoiding direct eye contact to minimize attention as she made her way towards the VIP area.

Occasionally, she caught snippets of excited chatter from nearby fans discussing the upcoming race and the drivers competing in it. Ji-min couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement coursing through her veins as she neared the entrance, her heart pounding with anticipation.

As she reached the designated entrance for VIP guests, Ji-min took a deep breath, her excitement bubbling beneath the surface. With a confident smile, she presented her pass to the security personnel and stepped inside, ready to witness her big brother's momentous victory firsthand.

Her eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of her brother. She was so absorbed in her search that she didn't notice the people around her, her gaze moving to her phone screen as she typed out a message to Carlos.

"Hey Carli, just arrived. Where are you? "

Lost in her phone, Ji-min didn't notice the figure approaching until it was too late. With a sudden jolt, she collided with someone, nearly dropping her phone in the process.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, looking up to see who she had bumped into.

Standing before her was none other than Lando Norris, one of the drivers competing in the race. Ji-min's eyes widened in surprise, recognizing him instantly from his racing gear and signature smile.

Lando grinned apologetically, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement. "No worries! "

Ji-min nodded, feeling a blush creeping up her cheeks. Sorry for not paying attention."

Lando chuckled, waving off her apology. "Not a problem at all." giving her a friendly nod before continuing on his way.

As Ji-min watched him disappear into the crowd, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement coursing through her veins. Little did she know, her encounter with Lando was just the beginning of an unforgettable day at the races.

----

Ji-min's heart raced as she finally spotted her brother amidst the hustle and bustle of the Ferrari garage. Carlos stood surrounded by his team, his familiar smile lighting up his face as he greeted them with enthusiasm.

"Carli!" Ji-min exclaimed, weaving her way through the crowd until she reached him. "There you are! I've been looking all over for you."

Carlos turned towards her, his eyes lighting up with delight as he caught sight of his little sister. "Ji-min! I'm so glad you made it!" he exclaimed, pulling her into a tight embrace.

Wrapped in her brother's arms, Ji-min felt a rush of warmth and contentment wash over her. It had been too long since they last saw each other, and she cherished every moment they spent together.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," Ji-min replied, pulling back to look at Carlos with a beaming smile.

They spent the next few minutes catching up, exchanging stories and sharing laughs as they soaked in the atmosphere of the race day. Ji-min couldn't help but feel a surge of pride as she watched her brother interact with his team, his passion for racing shining through in every word and gesture.

#GHVIP7 - Meet the 15 New Gran Hermano VIP 7 Housemates OK this is a Late Post but I added it here to keep it on record. Busy Busy Busy ;-) So by now most of you know a New edition of Gran Hermano VIP premiered on September 11,2019 and by the time you read this one Housemate has already been Evicted and her name --> Anabel Pantoja <-- It seems most of the Fans in Spain got tired of the Pantoja Family always showing up in a Reality Show and this Time they said hell no not again - Atleast that’s the word on the street - However it ain't over til its over and Anabel could easily return if the Production team want it that way - All they have to do is a (Repesca) later in the season which is basically a re-fishing of an evicted housemate by putting them up against other evicted housemates and letting the public vote to see who they want back inside the GH House. However this system is just a Legal Riggable Loophole which the Production team use to get their away since you can't verify the Actual Votes especially when they are not released anywhere and the Votes are Free via and app - They can easily say its what the Public wanted when actually it was the Production team pulling the strings all along. Old Trick Same Show. Anyway this Edition is off to a Good Start so far with only one week into the game - (now going on two Weeks) and already it has been filled with Drama mainly Provoked by 2 Housemates --> Hugo and Adara <-- but Mostly Hugo.  BTW in my Opinion - they are both playing too hard too soon and eventually things will backfire on them. Time will tell. Unless they already have or get special Privileges and Protection from the GH Bosses. There is a lot of weeks ahead to play but if you fire all your ammo in the first Week things will only get tougher later on.

So that’s it,  these are the New Housemates - Yep 15 is an odd number of Housemates which usually tells me someone backed out at the last minute. However they can easily bring in more Housemates if they choose to. In this Version of Big Brother nothing is set in stone. OK Cya Later and remember you can find me on Twitter (@NY_Watcher) - See you there ;-)

Fashion that is trending in different countries

We do not stop to think too much about all this but the reality is that being in one country or another also dictates whether you dress in fashion or not. When I went to Tokyo I expected to see those girls dressed as schoolgirls with huge bows on their heads and things like that everywhere, but the reality is that 70% of the girls dress in a very Western way. It is also true that the remaining 30% attracts so much attention that it does not surprise me that they are the ones who have gone around the world, but no ... in Tokyo, NOT all the young women dress as in the image.

But do not think that this is something isolated, the same happens if we think of any country. For example, in Paris, if you think of the city of l'amour, the bohemian look with a lopsided beret will come to mind, very chic, but that's not real either. Nor is it true that in China the girls do not wear kimono and that in Spain we go around with flamenco dress, that simple and simple.

Now, one thing is that stereotypes have crossed borders not being too faithful to reality and quite another that it is not true that there are certain cities that set fashion and have their own trends.

What is trending in Japan does not have to be here and that is obvious. If here someone wears their hair dyed an extravagant color it is usually because they have a punk look or similar but not there, there it is quite easy to see young people with flowers in pastel pink, lilac or yellow mane Tweety, very much in the style of the comics manga where heroines of the type " Sailor MoonThey wear electric blue hair.

The headbands with ears also started there, although now it is thought that Elettra and Alex Gibaja are the ones who have made them fashionable in Big Brother Vip, and the impossible platforms are also theirs. But, as much as it catches our attention and as much as we try to bring that fashion to our country, they will never be the big trends, but rather something fun to use from time to time to attract attention or I include something a bit geek to wear .

It is the catwalks, not the cities themselves, of Paris, Tokyo, Milan, New York and London, that dictate what will be worn each season.

In Pakistan clothing refers to the ethnic clothing that is typically worn by people in the country of Pakistan and by the people of Pakistani origin. Pakistani clothes express the culture of Pakistan, the demographics of Pakistan and cultures from the Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pashtun) and Kashmir regions of the country. Dress in each regional culture reflects weather conditions, way of living and distinctive style which gives it a unique identity among all cultures.

Pakistani women wear the shalwar kameez which is worn in different styles, colors and designs which can be decorated with different styles and designs of embroidery. The kameez can be of varying sleeve length, shirt length, necklines. The drawers can be the straight-cut shalwar, patiala salwar, churidar, cigarette pajama, tulip trouser, samosa pajama or simple trouser. Zaaviay is known for best wedding dresses in Pakistan.

While in the United States practicality begins to shine, in Europe it is the high Parisian style that prevails and, therefore, on the other side of the pond, two-piece suits are widely worn to go to the office, and sportswear and even the ball gowns with comfortable openings and gaseous fabrics and here, however, Italian sensuality prevails over the London “underground” spirit. That is why stores like Inspiramoda promote elegant collections full of charm and leave out the craziest tone of the collections of yesteryear.

Something similar happens in bridal fashion. We can see it perfectly in Miticca or Joana Diestre , where the collections breathe distinction as well as glamor. Gone are the princess dresses and also the dresses that simulate corsetry and lace.

 What is going to take?

From what I have been able to see in other European cities thanks to my travels, and from what the gossip of the catwalk world are also saying, this year the flyers are going to hit the flyers very hard, so in Spain we won because here they are We are quite good at putting ruffles on everything, even panties if necessary.

This new season, Valentino and Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel, in Paris, and Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, in London, put their dresses in motion with a very romantic version of ruffles, and Roberto Cavalli drags this romantic trail to Milan.

The 80s are also back, and with enthusiasm. Tacky is back in fashion so you can dust off the leather miniskirts, sequined dresses and animal prints. I will not be the one who will wear those things but if you want to set a trend, it is what will be worn in high places.

On the other hand, if what you like is to mark curves, you better start changing the chip or stay out of the game, but if you are a little plump and want to hide this is your year because Emilio Pucci has taken the initiative to fill everything with a lot, a lot padding. In other words, the outerwear will be reminiscent of the white Michelin doll, the coats will be down and the jackets will have enormous volumes.

And if we talk about colors, then take hold of curves, because purple is going to be the color in fashion. Forget the elegant black, the pristine white and the classic pastel tones because purple (no light lilac) has been hitting hard on all the catwalks. New York designers, led by Ralph Lauren, seem to drink from suede as a fabric and from that color to create designs of all kinds, from purple coats to party dresses or suits.

Perhaps most of you are thinking that I am giving myself the goop and it may be true, I am not an expert in fashion, just a simple fan of it and traveling knowing the world, but I have realized one thing: the more I travel the more I know styles and my mind is more open, both to accept people as they are, and to understand that no matter how much designers impose on the catwalks, it is society, at street level, that accepts or does not follow them.

Big Bang's Reactions to their Spanish s/o

[GIFs not mine]

a/n:

I’m really sorry if I mistook any of the info I got on the internet wrong... I hope my Spanish VIPS will still love it tho <3 <3 

Thank you for reading my reactions

T.O.P

You got accepted to star in a movie with him and he was really impressed by your acting and your unique personality. You were on the phone talking with your brother and arguing really loud about something which bothered him a little but he didn't complain. Once you started dating you invited him to your home in Spain since you were now mostly working in Korea and decided to go home for summer holidays. He got to see 'pueblos' and spend all day on the beach. You went easy on him because he wasn't really used to the hot sun shining at his skin all day and instead of being on the beach all day you visited some art museums and saw a football game together. He always wanted to see Spain mostly because of Picasso's works and he was very happy with your tour in Spain.

"Gracie chica, that was fun!"

G-Dragon

When you saw his cars after a few dates you were in love with him. It was usual for a guy in Spain to have a car when he starts dating a woman but of course, he had much more than a car. After some years, he learned you probably won't calm down during the argument so he stayed quiet and tried to figure out what's wrong. It was very impressive when you watched Spanish dramas and you screamed at the tv but he knew once you see Korean dramas you'd probably be the same. He was happy that you took over the cooking but sometimes he would wish only ramen when you wanted to eat traditional Spanish food. He tried learning Spanish too, but it was a new challenge for him and you took it slow and taught him slowly so he could learn well.

"What if we eat ramen today, jagiya? I love your gazpacho but some ramen would be awesome rn..."

Taeyang

He couldn't stop admiring your family who lived in a big farm in Spain and because you had a big family you learned how to cook for a lot of people quick so usually you would tell Youngbae to just invite over the members or when he was filming in the house you cooked for the staff too and hoped they'd love it. Because of that you even got invited to a cooking show with him. Youngbae was happy that you like cooking that much but mostly he couldn't wait to meet all your cousins and little brothers and sister, one of your brothers who is only 15 was actually accepted in FC Real Madrid and you were very proud on that. He was excited to see everything about Spain that you have seen or you still want to see.

"Do you think we'll be able to go to your brother's football match?"

Daesung

He was completely charmed by your friendly but fiery personality. He liked your tanned skin color since you live in Barcelona and there were some pretty hot summers there. He wanted to see your birthplace so much and you could easily get him there and show him everything but he was busy with his tour in Japan and you had some business meetings in Korea and then in Spain so it was hard to make plans together but you enjoyed every moment together at home and you each cooked a meal from your country every week. He, of course, fell in love with your impressive cooking and the effort you put in it while he asked his mother for homemade kimchi and instructions.

"Yes, I made this with my own hands. That's what I did."*says in the most sarcastic voice ever*

Seungri

He knew Spain as the country of the best partied and best beaches. He was very well informed with the island Ibiza and the parties there. You weren't much a party animal but you had too much in common to focus on that one difference. You liked your country more for museums but once you met Seungri you adjusted to party life too and it was very interesting to get new experience, even in your own country. He was hyped to learn Spanish from you and he learned many traditions and new food that he loved. The most he liked your dramas and amazing music artists. Your family didn't approve him at first because he seemed 'immature' and you were known to be the most responsible and mature person in your family but once they actually met him and realized how friendly and nice he is they soon accepted him as their own son.

"DEEEEESPACITOOOOO.... I should stop now, right? It's 2018... Yeah maybe.... DESPACITOOOO... #obsessed"

[calmbeforeastorm]

Club corners

‘So, basically, you’re saying that you were the original sugar baby?’

Izzy decides it's time to take a night off. They end up in Pandemonium.

Three weeks after the defeat of Valentine, and the resumption of normal Institute activities, Izzy put her foot down while they were standing around a map in the ops centre, delegating patrols.

‘That’s it. We’re going out. Pick a night this week’

Four confused faces turned towards her.

‘What?’ Jace asked.

A smile was already beginning to tug at Clary’s face, but the two boys didn’t seem to get the message.

‘I said, we’re going out. Out, out. Alec can clear all our schedules one night this week. We deserve it’

Alec opened his mouth to voice his inevitable refusal, and Izzy rushed in to cut him off.

‘C’mon, big bro. We just helped win a war, for the Angel’s sake. Surely we can take one night off. I think we’ve earned it’

‘She’s right, Alec. It would be nice to all have a night out together. We can ask Simon and Maia too’

Clary joined her in the fight, and Izzy couldn’t help shooting a grin her way.

Jace was starting to nod his head, lips pursed – never one to turn down a night out – and so, with two down, one to go, Izzy turned all her persuasive powers on her brother.

‘Besides, I’ve been itching to go on a night out with Magnus since we met him. He definitely seems to know how to party’

Predictably, Alec seemed to brighten up at the thought of his boyfriend joining them. How sweet. Even after having practically moved in to the loft in Brooklyn, he still leapt on every chance he could to spend time in Magnus’ company.

He sighed.

‘Alright. I’ll mention it to him. What night do you want me to clear?’

  They ended up – surprise, surprise – in Pandemonium. After all, why pay to go anywhere else when someone in the group was dating the owner of one of the best clubs in town?

They had loitered in the queue for a while (Magnus had a client with him and said he would join them later if they went on ahead) because Alec shot down Izzy’s suggestion of going up to the bouncer and using Magnus’ name to get them in for free.

‘We can’t do that, Izzy! That’s embarrassing’

Of course, after fifteen mins – during which time, they advanced about five feet in the queue – Magnus himself swept by, still dressed fairly formally in dark jeans and an expensive-looking grey shirt, which he’d unbuttoned halfway down his chest and draped some necklaces over. His hair was streaked with glittery pink, and Izzy could practically sense Alec’s mouth watering.

He walked right by them – then strolled back, confusion on his face.

‘What are you doing in the queue?’

Alec blushed as they all turned to him.

They were pulled up and brought in past the barrier by Magnus himself, holding it up for them with a wink.

‘After you, my dears. You all look stunning, by the way’

Izzy nearly missed the whispered ‘Especially you, Alexander’ as he slid an arm around her brother’s waist. She deliberately did not think about where his hand slipped to.

 ___________________________________________________________________________

 After some dancing – Izzy managed to dance with everyone, including even her brother, who looked more and more at ease as the night went on – as well as a ridiculous amount of free drinks in the VIP section, they piled in together in a corner on some couches, sweaty and high on tequila shots and laughter. The music thumped around them, but somehow – undoubtedly thanks to some magic of Magnus’ – they were able to hear each other perfectly well.

Clary began regaling them all with the story of Simon’s first time in a club, when a very drunk girl had plastered herself all over him until Clary managed to pull him free (unfortunately not quickly enough to avoid the poor girl vomiting all over his band t-shirt).

The subject, as it usually does on drunken nights out in the heady atmosphere of a club, quickly turned to sex.

‘But what I’m saying is that you kind of, like, lost your virginity twice. In a way’ Maia managed to slur out.

Magnus looked at her quizzically. Or as quizzically as possible in low light and with what would be a lethal amount of alcohol in his system, if his was anyone other than Magnus Bane. He and Alec were squished in tightly together, one of Magnus’ legs draped over the Shadowhunter’s knee. Alec had a tight grip on it, as if he was afraid his boyfriend was going to slip to the floor without his support. Maybe he would.

‘You mean once with a guy, once with a girl?’

‘Yeah’

Magnus took a sip of his gin and tonic.

‘I wouldn’t look at it that way myself, but whatever. I guess’

He paused, thinking.

‘Didn’t sleep with another man until I was in my -must have been my early twenties, I guess. Had to be real clever about it, back then. Had to, you know. Really want it’

He huffed a laugh.

‘Who was he?’ Maia asked.

It seemed to take a lot of effort for Magnus to remember.

‘Eh. He was, uh. The father of a little boy I was tutoring in Dutch’

Izzy burst out laughing.

‘Magnus!’

He laughed again.

‘I know, I know. He must have been, god. Twice my age? He was nice, though. We kept it up for three or four months, then I left Madrid to travel around Spain. Never saw him again after that. We kept in touch, though. He’d send me money every now and again if I was low on it’

Clary suddenly laughed, loud and clear. Jace grinned dopily at her.

‘What?’

‘So, basically, you’re saying that you were the original sugar baby?’

Magnus paused, a strange look on his face, drink glass dangling from one hand and the other hand frozen in the gesture he’d been about to make.

The Shadowhunters – barring Izzy – looked baffled.

‘Original what?’ Alec wondered, and Magnus shushed him quickly.

‘Let’s move on, shall we?’

Izzy clutched on to Clary’s arm and buried her face in her shoulder as they dissolved into giggles.

  They staggered out into the fresh, cold air of Brooklyn at about four in the morning, all pleasantly drunk.

Simon and Maia said their goodbyes and wandered away, Simon’s arm slung over Maia’s shoulder.

Clary pulled Magnus down to give him a kiss on the cheek, then, to Alec’s evident surprise, did the same to him. Jace smiled at that, obviously happy to see his girlfriend and his Parabatai finally getting on, and Alec grinned back.

Izzy reached up to hug her brother just as he leaned down, and she gave him a tight squeeze before letting go. He’d had a good time. She was glad.

‘What time will you be in the Institute in the morning?’

Before Alec had a chance to answer, Magnus leaped in,

‘Not til at least noon, I’m afraid’

Izzy laughed, and turning to leave, she blew Magnus a kiss, rolling hers eyes fondly as he pretended to grab it.

‘Alright. No portalling! Walk home’

It was Alec’s time to roll his eyes.

‘Yes, Mom’

But he smiled at her.

‘Goodnight, Izzy’

She watched them set off into the night, wrapped up in each other, then turned around to catch up with Clary and Jace, a bounce in her step that hadn’t been in a long, long time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BROTHER!

~The Format That Changed TV Forever In India And Across The Globe Turns 20!~

Mumbai, 16th September 2019: Big Brother, (aka Bigg Boss in India) - the original reality format - celebrates its landmark 20th birthday today.  On the 16th September 1999, nine Housemates moved in a purpose-built house in the Netherlands, equipped with 24 cameras and no contact with the outside world to be watched 24/ 7 by Big Brother. A cultural phenomenon was born, and the TV revolution aired its first ever episode that night on Dutch Broadcaster Veronica, part of RTL.

Since its launch, Big Brother has taken the world by storm, with 471 series of 28,391 episodes commissioned in 60 markets and airing pan regionally in 80 since its launch. 7,153 housemates from around the globe have spent 35, 143 days in the house and there have been 5, 035 evictions.

Twenty years since its worldwide debut, Big Brother is enjoying one of its best years yet and is constantly being renewed internationally with 22 productions in 18 markets confirmed to air in 2019.

In India Bigg Boss has conquered audiences, in Hindi, Kannada, Bangla, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil and Malayalam. With 30 seasons under its belt Globally Endemol Shine India is the only one in history of the franchise who has produced the Big Brother format (Bigg Boss) in multiple languages for different broadcasters. Bigg Boss has now been produced in India in 7 languages and today produces more than 600 episodes in a 365-day calendar year.

With huge stars such as Salman Khan, Kamala Hassan, Nagarjuna, Mohanlal, Mahesh Manjrekar and Sudeep as hosts, an interesting mix of contestants and an amazing creative and production team, the show continues to garner huge TRPs and driving in viewers every season.

Talking about the completion of 20 years of Big Brother globally, Abhishek Rege, CEO, Endemol Shine India said, “Big Brother is undoubtedly the most popular non-scripted show across the globe entertaining viewers from all strata of society. In India too, the show has been well received and has garnered a huge fan following.  The ongoing appreciation for the franchise across the globe and in India, no matter the language, is testament to the effort of the creative and production teams at Endemol Shine globally and our understanding of geographies and of local audiences.”

Engaging audiences with interactivity

Big Brother is more interactive and immersive than ever, whether it be viewer polls, making decisions for tasks or else the weekly evictions which are the bedrock of many global schedules. Big Brother stands out in the way it engages the audience to be part of the show, and earlier this year saw 202 million votes cast in Brazil in a single eviction.

Innovating with technology

Big Brother has always thrived on changes in the tech and TV landscape and fans have more access to the show’s content than ever before, whether it be watching episodes on YouTube in Spain where the series had a dual strategy to produce the programme for linear and online or streaming on a broadcaster’s SVOD or AVOD platform in markets like the US, Canada and Finland.

The show is innovating with tech within productions too. Big Brother Poland was the first version of the reality hit to be filmed in a real-life existing house. This has been followed by the recent relaunch in Finland, where the house was located in the heart of Helsinki in REDI shopping mall.  These new types of productions are only possible because of advanced technology and state of the art cameras which allow the show to be produced in innovative ways. It also furthers the creative freedom for the producers with fully connected houses enabling access to rooms to be limited or to give housemates certain privileges such as access to the fridge or even the coffee machine. Existing locations also have created a truly authentic environment for relationships to develop.

Sustainability

And the format is rolling our green initiatives too, in Germany the production team of VIP series saved an estimated 12,000 coffee cups after switching to reusable bamboo cups and all groceries for the House were sourced locally.

In Finland, the new house will be made with recycled materials and with water scarcity a significant issue in India, the production has installed waste water recycling, as well as placing water restrictions for housemates and one of the regional versions even features an empty swimming pool to make a point about the limits.

None of us know what the next twenty years will bring, but one thing for sure, the world is watching.

Super Trunk Show 2017 Stockhom

Super trunk show started in 2013, 4 years ago back in Sweden. Sweden as we have already know, are among the most well dressed gentlemen around. The event focus on classic men shoes and naturally being the same time I have gotten into classic men shoes, naturally this is one of the event I ogled about every year the event is held in Stockholm.

Fast forward 4 years and I have finally fulfilled my wish of visiting them. It all started with me researching for a shoe making course to take, which leads me to enroll for Janne Melkerson 2 weeks course in Ostersund, north of Stockholm. And since I am attending the course, I coordinate both event to coincide back to back.

Jesper Ingevaldsson whom I met the night before the event during their pre trunk gathering, is the founder of shoegazingblog told me how they started this event. On his website shoegazing.se he has a closed forum for the moderators and one of the moderator suggested bringing Vass to Stockholm cause he has difficulty travelling oversea. Since Jesper has interest in this trade and has already known other shoe makers, he has the idea of bringing them all together in a single event called Super Trunk show. He did also mention that the first year they held the event it is quite a disaster. He didn't expect the crowd to be so big and the logistic for the exhibitors are quite chaotic. Despite these hiccup, he is able to pull off the event to everyone expectation.

I am sorry for the overwhelmingly tons of photos in this article. Feel like breaking down into 2 post but I will wish to let you guys read everything at one go...  

Super Trunk show 2017 focus on local Swedish retailers and some international shoemakers which includes a new comer, Jan Kielman. The day start by attending the VIP opening from 9.30am to 11am where you can pre-register to avoid large crowd when open to public after 11am. I was there around 10.30am and the crowd is still quite small. This is the best opportunity to talk the exhitbitor. As I have already preordered Skolyx’s white sneaker, I went over to their booth and try on my size. They fit great with size 41 on my feet. Gosh what a relief to my feet as I have only bought one pair of loafer (C&J sydney) with me and walk in the city for 3 straight days! Emil and his brother Sebastian have been very friendly, talking to me about their vision of their company and we also talked about the numerous Yanko last and design that they have brought in.

Skolyx booth

Yanko shoes from Skolyx. This is the first time I saw som many Yanko last and design

I especially like this design

Skolyx inhouse white sneaker, manufactured in Turkey. God they are so comfy

I have met Michael Håkansson aka Magic Mike Patina on the first night I am in Stockholm and since then I have met him every night for drink. A guy who looks serious on the appearance but full of warmth when talking to him. A nice person to talk everything to. He shared a lot of his patina experience with me, especially creation of marble effect. I am so going to try it myself when I have chance! Here you can see at his booth he has created a beautiful and artistic grey marbled effect on a pair of Yanko balmoral oxford.

Magic Mike Patina begin his patina

Some of his works. 

I like the jodphur the best

The sole of the jodphur

Progress of his patina on a pair of Yanko balmoral oxford. You can see the transformation. Piece of art!

Malton Kielman and Jan Kielman are the new comer for  this year event. Malton and Kielman sell bespoke leather accesories such as briefcase, wallet, passport holder and lanyard etc made by Jan Kielman company... Most of his product are patina by him, offering an unique product he carries. From what he mention, some of his patina are inspired by four season especially fall color. For those discerning guy who wants to own their product, good news. Onlybrown in Singapore carry their product. Check them out!

Malton Kielman bespoke briefcase and patina

Love this wallet!

Some of his leather option for bespoke. Very exotic...

Maclej Kielman, the current generation of shoemaker for Jan Kielman, is one of polish shoemaker exhibiting for the first time this year. With him he brought his son along and some of their demo shoe with them for display. His son, Jan Kielman the next generation shoemaker are very friendly in explaining Kielman various offering to me. According to Maclej, they will have to name every alternate generation son "Jan" to carry on their branding... Something I have never ever imagined....

Kielman shoe on display. His signature model seamless one piece wholecut

Some design to note are his one piece seamless wholecut, norvegese wholecut and double monk. They are very well made and sturdy. From what he explained, he don't do fitting shoe as it is not their traditional to offer fitting shoe. He did mention that if we are not satisfied with the fit, we can always send the shoe back for adjustment. Or in the worst case, they can remake another pair. Price start @ ~850euro for polish tanned leather and ~50euro with french tannery leather.

Another of my favorite, one piece wholecut with norvegese stitch. Photo @ shoegazingblog

Square beveled waist from his one piece seamless wholecut

He keep apologizing to me, explaining that this is the first time he attended this event and not sure what to expect... I am very tempted yet I can't decide on the spot hence I have my measurement taken by him in case I want to make a pair in the future I can send him an email :)

Great personality from Maclej Kielman

Spingyard shoe care is the subsidiary branding of Brunngård Sweden, also the main sponsor for this event carries shoe care product. From the usual like polish, wax, brushes, buffing cloth, shoehorn to insole (Springyard sense) for various season. 

One interesting range of product they carry are the "shoe therapy" range. Product under this range are eco friendly to the environment. The solvent are biodegradable and will not harm environment. They have working on this product range for couple of years and finally they are certified by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency as eco friendly. An interesting concept and remarkable feat I will say. Product under shoe therapy range includes waterproofing spray, cleaning spray, cream paste and refreshing spray.

Picked up some product from them. Will give review after back home and used them....

Various shoe care product from Sprigyard

I didn't stay too long at this booth as I need to  go for other agenda nearby the trunk show. More review of their shoe is available at Shoegazing blog.

It’s considered the highlight of this event where 3 contestants (Anders Sundström, Jonathan Petersson and Johan Wennerholm this years) will be competing to come up with the best shine in 20 minutes on a pair of Loake 1880 Aldwych! Imagine waxing and coming up with shine for one side of shoe in 20 minutes?! I can’t do that for sure. Anyway you can see the following pictures to judge for yourself how high their standard are.

Some attendee asked about the trend of the design and the last of classic men wear shoe and some asked about if the trend for classic men wear shoe is stagnant or will continue to peak.... Interesting session with a lot of interesting answer from the pro in the market. I am lucky to hear this session conducted in English as for the past 3 years it has mainly been conducted in Swedish.

Epilogue

When I booked the trip to Stockholm for Super trunk show 2017, I wasn't expecting anything except to attend the event and talk to the exhibitor. But when I am there, I was practically full of meet up drinking session with the well dressed gentlemen from scandianiva everynight. We talked about everything on sartorial and the difference between Asia and scandianiva. I feel very welcomed by the folks here. It's always nice to put an actual face to the IG guy you follow... You know who you are... : ) @datinventory @ jesperbrannstrom @michael.hakansson @thesh0e @ patrickmtpo @kbaskim @martinsenkristian @ j_ingevaldsson

27th Sónar Barcelona: 18.19.20 June 2020 – The 2020 edition brings together heroes of contemporary clubbing, avant-garde electronica and emerging talents of trap and urban rhythms from around the planet.

This is Sónar 2020

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Sónar 2020 will feature the most eagerly awaited electronic shows of the year by The Chemical Brothers. They will once again reign at Sónar introducing their new and spectacular immersive audiovisual show created together with their regular collaborator, Adam Smith, in which Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons will intersperse their legendary hits with those of their ninth album, “No Geography”, unanimously acknowledged by the critics as one of the most solid of their entire career.

A worldwide exclusive in 2020 only at Sónar, French electronic epic duo THE BLAZE will play their live show at SonarClub; another major highlight is the spectacular show by Swedish progressive house dj and producer Eric Prydz, as well as the circular hi-fi mobile sound system DESPACIO, led by luxury selectors James Murphy and 2manydjs, will return to the festival, this time at Sónar by Night in a non-stop 6-hour sets on Friday and Saturday in the SonarCar stage.

The festival brings together again DJ’s from the first international division such as Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Helena Hauff, Âme, Joy Orbison, Charlotte de Witte, Avalon Emerson, 2manydjs or The Black Madonna closing Sónar by Night. Not to mention the cosmic and multidisciplinary project Lost Souls Of Saturn, which unites the internationally beloved tech house DJ, Seth Troxler, with the respected New York sound engineer Phil Moffa.

Also present will be Vancouver sound Jayda G, with house, funk and disco vibes; the fantastic Jyoty, a London underground star, firing off hip hop, grime, dancehall and r&b hits; veteran DJ Marcelle, a cult DJ among dance gourmets in Europe; Or:la, growing with every new release and moving between the best of techno and bass music; Manara, with her mix of grime with Bollywood and punjabi sounds; or Shanti Celeste, one of the most active presences of the current British electronic scene, forming a tandem with another of the greats of the UK scene, Midland.

PREMIERES, TECH SHOWS, HOUSE AND AVANT-GARDE TECHNO

2020 will be the year of Arca’s leap to Sónar by Night. The most radically innovative electronic artist today presents an exclusive live show with an overwhelming sound, traversing noise to melody and from euphoria to tears, premiering her longed-for new album and recreating unreleased versions of her repertoire.

Other exciting premieres or exclusives will be the long-awaited return of Telefon Tel Aviv, the new shows of Mura Masa, one of the most transformative artists on the current British scene, or American art-rock supergroup Battles, both with their new albums. Electronic emo-folk duo Howling, the return of TNGHT (tandem formed by Hudson Mohawake and Lunice), the provocative Sega Bodega, with a new synthetic pop album or the duo Giant Swan, with their abrasive physical techno-punk live.

The grand sound, visual and technological show by Max Cooper, who will perform his latest work “Yearning For The Infinite” will be performed within the colossal dimensions of SonarClub, the biggest stage at Sónar by Night. Koreless comes back with a fascinating visual show created together with his usual collaborator, the renowned Emmanuel Biard; and Ryochi Kurokawa will introduce “Subassemblies”, an audiovisual show in which the Japanese genius uses 3D laser-scanned data and nature images to talk about the destruction of the environment by humans.

Sónar 2020 will be an exceptional occasion to explore the new wave of avant-garde house and techno DJs: alongside the aforementioned Helena Hauff and Charlotte de Witte, there will be Joy Orbison, Bulgarian king of the live edits KiNK, half of the German duo Âme, the missing link between techno and reggaeton DJ Python, the new face of big room techno DJ ANNA (recently signed to Richie Hawtin’s label), the relentlessly innovative DJ and producer Avalon Emerson and the up and coming Swedish talent La Fleur.

RAP, TRAP & GLOBAL BEATS

Sónar explores and stages for another year the best in the British grime and hip hop, a sound in permanent evolution. Four of its most outstanding representatives will be performing at Sónar by Night.

This year the festival will feature the British rappers of the moment: Dave (revelation of 2019 and winner of the prestigious Mercury Prize) and AJ Tracey, the brilliant rhymer and author of the catchy hit ‘Ladbroke Grove’. From the dark side of rap and grime, Skepta and Stormzy collaborator and rising star of UK drill, Headie One, who will be preceded by the dj set of Conducta, one of the kings of the new UK garage revival..

Once again, Sónar serves as a huge platform for the most advanced and avant-garde sounds being created around the world today, introducing more than 20 nationalities, many of which focus on hip hop beats, dancehall and reggaeton updates, trap derivatives, new African rhythms, and hybrids of contemporary pop and r&b.

Charismatic New York MC Princess Nokia comes back to the festival, presenting her brand new album at the SonarVillage by Estrella Damm stage. The headlines of global sounds will be written by by Uruguayan Lechuga Zafiro, with a sound between grime and dembow; Brazilian Badsista, firing off funk and digital dancehall hits; and the brilliant Kelman Duran, a Dominican living in Los Angeles, taking reggaeton to experimental grounds. In a similar vein will be Venus X, the head of the legendary New York parties GHE20G0TH1K.

From Africa, the festival will host Ugandans Nihiloxica, with their frenetic polyrhythm and the duo MC Yallah & Debmaster, with their abrasive and close to grime sound. Congolese Lous and The Yakuza, mixing Afrotrap and pop; and the Palestinian dj Sama’, with her beats and hypnotic rhythms for the track will also see their debut in Spain.

SÓNAR BY DAY: FUNK, DISCO, HOUSE AND ELECTRONIC POP

The SonarVillage by Estrella Damm stage at Sónar by Day is the perfect place to enjoy Lindstrøm’s music; the wizard of Scandinavian cosmic disco. The same stage will host the live performance of the Italian duo Nu Guinea, top representatives of Napoli Sound.

The most radiant and melodic house will be excellently represented by the Canadian Project Pablo and the French Folamour, both growing very fast with every step they take, and offering contemporary dance sets at SonarLab and SonarVillage respectively. In a similar vein, the renowned Dutch dj Job Jobse, a specialist in mixing house from any era with other styles, from italodisc to trance and 21st century funk, will also be present.

The legendary Sónar by Day stage will also be the stage for the American Channel Tres live show, with their irresistible funk-house-pop; and for the French duo Polo & Pan, with their euphoric sound that equally accommodates Eurodisco and tropical pop.

THE NEW WAVE OF NATIONAL TALENT TAKES OVER SONARXS AND SÓNAR BY DAY.

At Sónar by Day the SonarXS stage grows and relocates, focusing on promoting and disseminating the most exciting and emerging national scene, with a new batch of artists such as Morad, the new urban sensation from L’Hospitalet; Kaydy Cain (ex PXXR GVNG playing their street trap hits adapted to a Latin salsa orchestra); Chenta Tsai-Baobae (new project by Putochinomaricón); and others like Afrojuice 195, Chico Blanco, Ms Nina or Califato ¾ and their flamenco rave.

Other National exclusive shows include two other absolute premieres at the festival. One of them will be presented by Niño de Elche with his new project which revise the sound legacy of José Val del Omar, experimental filmmaker and mystical genius, together with three of the most relevant young artists of the state electronic scene: Mans O, Shelly and Nara Is Neus. For their part, the duo Maria Arnal and Marcel Bagés, after the great success of their first album, will be releasing their long-awaited second work, which includes electronic beats, synthesizers and collaborations with important figures on the electronic scene. Also a very special mention goes to the performance of Carles Viarnès together with the visual creator Alba G. Corral.

Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado’s career on the rise after sex tape leak

Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado’s career on the rise after sex tape leak https://ift.tt/eA8V8J Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado’s career on the rise after sex tape leak

Alicia Machado was Miss Universe in 1996 and was probably set to have that be the main element that made her famous–then the Alicia Machado sex tape arrived. Now, she’s known for a whole lot more than being crowned the planet’s best beauty queen. The world has seen much more of her than those swimsuits contestants have to parade around in to score that elusive tiara.

Radar published the sex tape in late 2016 and to say that its existence has impacted Machado’s life is an understatement.

The former Miss Venezuela 1995 was taking part in a 2005 Spanish language reality TV program entitled La Granja VIP, which in English translates to The VIP Farm. The show took celebrities and had them live and work on a rural farm. It was like A Simple Life meets Big Brother. The famous folks worked the earth during the day and let loose at night.

Being aware that there are cameras everywhere on a reality show would be enough to cause most celebrities some pause in terms of doing anything explicit. That was not remotely the case as Machado and co-star Fernando Acaso couldn’t keep their hands off each other and had sex.

It could be argued that they felt so free to fornicate because in the next bed over, it appeared that fellow stars Dani DJ and Miss Spain 2004 Maria Isabel Ruiz were doing exactly the same thing.

La Granja VIP ran its course, and all involved probably thought that chapter of their public life was complete. Think again.

//<![CDATA[ ( function() { pnLoadVideo( "videos", "2vxf2VbJ3vg", "pn_video_872134", "", "", [] ); } )(); //]]>

Years later, Machado was in the news again when then-presidential candidate, Donald Trump, referred to her as “Miss Piggy.” He did not back down from those comments and felt that it was in bad faith that after winning the top prize at his Miss Universe event, she had supposedly gained weight.

He referred to her as “the worst we ever had–the worst, the absolute worst.” Machado even had to workout with Trump watching over her and cameras rolling.

Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton, pounced on the subject during a debate. The two would go back and forth on the issue in the press in the coming days. Did she hide from the increased attention the presidential spotlight brought her? No. In fact, she hit the campaign trail with Clinton to tell her story in the days following that fateful debate.

Right about that time, the Alicia Machado sex tape got released and Clinton never brought her up again.

Since the Alicia Machado sex tape became public knowledge, it has received over 4.8 million views on XVideos.com alone. It has not impaired her career in the slightest. As others have found (looking at you, Kim Kardashian), in fact, it has raised her profile.

After the reality TV show ran, she became an enormously popular actress in Latin America. Steadily, Machado worked her way up from small parts and supporting characters to leads in a short period of time.

When the Machado sex tape hit the interwebs, instead of retreating back to Venezuela, she continued to work in television and even moved to the big screen.

She has two films completed—one set for release in Latin markets in the near future (¡He Matado A Mi Marido!) and another (Juan Apostol, El Mas Amado) that is in post-production.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Wedding Celebrity Guest List

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding is fast approaching, with the date set on May 19. And now that Markle has allegedly had her bridal shower, it's time to focus on one of the most important aspects of the royal wedding—the guest list.

Prince Harry and Markle are scheduled to have two wedding receptions following the ceremony at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. While the first ceremony will take place during the day, Prince Charles is said to be hosting a private celebration in the evening, and Mel B has already stoked rumors that the Spice Girls will be performing at the royal wedding.

Unfortunately the Obamas were confirmed to not be on the guest list—along with other political leaders like Donald Trump and Theresa May—but here are just some of the other famous faces rumored to be invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's big day.

Serena Williams Williams and Markle apparently hit it off when they met in 2014 at a celebrity charity football event, according to the Daily Mail. The two have been close friends for several years, and it's been widely speculated that the tennis legend will be getting an invite.

Originally, Williams was slated to play matches in Madrid and Rome at the Madrid and Italian Opens during the time of the royal wedding, but she recently withdrew from the tournaments, following the advice of her coach, Patrick Mouratoglu, Page Six reports.

Markle wrote about becoming friends with Williams for her now-defunct blog The Tig, and said, "She quickly became a confidante I would text when I was traveling, the friend I would rally around for her tennis matches, and the down-to-earth chick I was able to grab lunch with a couple of weeks ago in Toronto."

Originally Williams wasn't sure if her plans to compete would interfere with her attendance at Meghan and Harry's wedding. "We'll see if I can make it," Williams said during a Good Morning America interview, according to ABC producer Carolyn Durand. According to Reuters, when Williams arrived to train with him in France in late April, she wasn't quite ready; as a result, she withdrew from playing in Spain and Italy.

The champion took a 14-month absence for maternity leave after the birth of her daughter, Alexis Olympia, and Mouratoglu noted that she was not yet in the shape she needed to be to play her best. "Serena had to rebuild her body. When she arrived at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy, around April 30, we realized that she was not ready yet," Reuters reported. Said her coach, "The time she lost after the delivery, with all the medical issues she had to go through, was missing.”

While we're sure Serena is disappointed that she'll have to wait for the French Open to compete (the tournament begins right after the royal wedding, on the 21st of May), she's likely also elated that she'll get to be at Windsor Castle to celebrate with Meghan and Harry. Given the recent opening in her schedule, expect to see the athlete, newlywed and new mom in the pews.

Alyssia and Catherine Cooper Valmont

The Vogue Fashion Editors and activist arrived in London today .Cooper 's ties to the Royal Family may seem scarce, the Namibian government had asked Angelina on behalf of the Queen to participate in the QCC, or the Queen's Conservation Canopy, aimed at educating and funding the need for global forest conservation. Jolie and her six children visited Namibia recently (where Harry and Meghan will honeymoon in a few weeks) in collaboration with the QCC, and Jolie was granted the title of honorary dame by the Queen for her human rights work in October 2017.

While she could just be in London for work or leisure, odds are Jolie made it on to the Queen's short list for the royal wedding, given her connection to the philanthropic efforts Harry, Meghan and Queen Elizabeth II are so passionate about.

The Bradshaws A source recently confirmed to People that the Bradshaws will be attending the royal wedding ceremony and the evening's Frogmore House reception, due to Bradshaw boys and Harry's close friendship over the years. The source shared that they apparently hit it off when they past in the years at a celebrity philantropic sailing race with his royal highnesses prince William and prince Felipe De Borbone. Conveniently, Bradshaw's English countryside home resides just a thirty minutes drive from Windsor. ( Thōmas, Kyle, Landon, Bruce G.)

Misha Nonoo

According to the Daily Mail, fashion designer Misha Nonoo is Markle's close friend. The designer was credited early on with potentially being the matchmaker that introduced Harry to Meghan, although reports surfaced that Violet von Westenholz—a PR director for Ralph Lauren, who likely will also be at the wedding–was responsible for their set-up.

Nonoo's ex-husband reportedly attended Eton College with Prince Harry and Prince William, so she'll definitely be on the guest list.

The cast of Suits An insider confirmed to Hello! that the "cast and key executives" of the hit legal drama are on the guest list. "The cast has been contacted in regards to invites from Kensington Palace," the source said. Abigail Spencer is one of the co-stars rumored to attend.

Markle's onscreen love interest on the show, Patrick J. Adams, posted the sweetest tribute to his former co-star on Instagram. He wrote, "Playing Meghan’s television partner for the better part of a decade uniquely qualifies me to say this: Your Royal Highness, you are a lucky man and I know your long life together will be joyful, productive and hilarious."

After seven seasons of Suits, it seems likely that Markle is still in touch with her co-stars, and that many of them will be invited to the royal wedding. But, Us Weekly recently reported that they will not be invited to the intimate, 200-person evening reception hosted by Prince Charles.

The staff at Windsor Chapel was reportedly ordered to watch the show to become familiar with Harry and Meghan's wedding guests. "I’ve told the Stewards to get Netflix and watch Suits, so they know who everyone is at the wedding," Hugo Vickers, the Captain of the Lay Stewards at the chapel, told the Daily Mail.

Sir Elton John

It has already been reported that Elton John has cancelled two concerts because the dates clash with the royal wedding. While the singer's official statement calls it a "scheduling conflict," it seems highly likely that the singer canceled his May 18 and 19 world tour dates because he got a better offer.

Elton John was a good friend of Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana, and famously sang his song "Candle in the Wind" at her funeral in 1997. Yesterday, it was confirmed that Sir Elton John will indeed perform at the couple's wedding. And, like the Clooney's, his house conveniently sits a stone's throw from Windsor Castle.

Priyanka Chopra

Quantico star Priyanka Chopra and Markle met at ELLE's Women in Television dinner in 2016. Chopra famously corrected Wendy Williams for describing Markle as "Prince Harry's girlfriend." She fiercely replied, "Meghan Markle, actress. Suits. Her achievements... just saying."

Chopra recently confirmed to Us Weekly that's attending the nuptials. Now, she's considering what dress she'll wear day-of. “I sort of may have an idea, but no, I haven’t picked one out yet," she told the site.

Nacho Figueras

In addition to the other celebrities and VIP's in attendance, the famous Argentinian polo player made the cut for the royal wedding guest list, CBS News reports.

This morning, Figueras told Good Morning America that he could not be happier for his dear friend, Prince Harry. Said the athlete, who has a loving marriage and four children of his own, "He's going to be an amazing husband, he hopefully will be a great father. I can't wait for him to go into this stage of his life... I'm so happy that he has found Meghan."

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York and his cousin Gabriel York

She's said to have a terrible relationship with her ex-father-in-law, Prince Philip (she was married to Prince Andrew for 10 years), but as she is Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's mom, it was expected that she would get an invite. Recently, reports surfaced that while she was invited to the ceremony and general reception, she was snubbed from the evening's affairs. Expect to see the Duchess sitting with her children, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York, during the ceremony–but Fergie was reportedly freaking out over not receiving an invitation to the dinner at Frogmore House, hosted by Prince Charles.

Millie Mackintosh

Markle has allegedly been friends with British reality TV star Millie Mackintosh since 2016. As Mackintosh has royal connections—her co-star on Made in Chelsea, Spencer Matthews, is now Pippa Middleton's brother-in-law—it's unsurprising that she's now friends with Markle. It's likely that Mackintosh will be in attendance.

The Spice Girls While on chat show The Real, when asked whether she'd received an invitation to the royal wedding, Mel B said, "Well, it was [the] five Spice Girls. Why am I so honest?" When pressed for details, she revealed, "Yes... It was proper. I’m not saying anymore! I’ve said enough... I need to go. I’m gonna be fired!" However, Mel C responded to the news, saying her fellow bandmate probably wasn't serious. "I think [Mel B] was joking. I think the media ran with it a little bit," she told E! News. Recently, it was reported that contrary to previous announcements, the Spice Girls "were never going to perform" at the royal wedding, an insider told Page Six. However, a few members of the girl group are expected to attend the big event: Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, and Emma Bunton. According to the insider, Mel B and Mel C aren't on the guest list. 2,640 members of the public Harry and Meghan haven't forgotten about us normals for their big day. They're also inviting 1,200 members of the public "from every corner of the United Kingdom" (who will be nominated by nine regional Lord Lieutenant offices), 200 people from charities they're associated with, 100 students from local schools with close ties to Windsor Castle (The Royal School in Great Park and St. George's School), 610 Windsor residents and members of St. George's Chapel, and 530 members of the Royal Households and Crown Estate.

Daniella Timperley Who is Daniella Timperley? She's a high school student from Ireland lucky enough to score an invite to the royal wedding. CBS News reports that Timperley's grammar school announced on Twitter that she received an invitation as an ode of gratitude from the couple for her extraordinary charity work. Timperley was invited to sit in St. George's Chapel for the ceremony, and attend the luncheon hosted by the Queen at St. George's Hall.

Treviṣ L. Grey

Prince Harry reportedly invited guests from Malawi, with whom he worked on a conservation project, along with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, who co-founded Sentebale with Prince Harry, a charity focused on providing aid to children diagnosed with HIV.

The survivors of the Grenfell fire Last June, a public housing fire at Grenfell Tower in west London killed at least 80 people. In support of those who survived the horrific tragedy, Harry and Meghan have invited the survivors of the fire to be with them in St. George's Chapel as they exchange their vows.
