BIOGRAPHY:

Elisa Torrini (Rome, 10/04/1989) is an Italian model. She was crowned Miss Universe Italy 2011 on June 30, 2011 at the Piazzale del Soccorso in Forio d'Ischia. She is 1.80 m tall (5'11"), one of tallest Italian delegates ever in the history of the pageant. By winning the title, Elisa earned the right to represent her country at the Miss Universe 2011 pageant in São Paulo, Brazil, on September 12, 2011.

As part of her prize package, Elisa won a week-long stay in Caracas, Venezuela during the month of August to attend the prestigious Katty Pulido International Academy, where she will receive intensive training in all areas of competition to aid her preparation for the Miss Universe pageant. It is the first time an Italian representative is sent abroad to train for the international competition. This prize is part of a larger concerted effort by the new franchise holders of Miss Universe Italy to craft extremely competitive delegates in an attempt to snag the first Miss Universe crown ever for Italy, the country with the highest placements at the pageant never to win the title. Other prizes for the winner include beauty kits, jewelry and and a three-day stay at a luxurious hotel in Sardinia.

Were she to place, Elisa would be the first Italian delegate to do so in three years. Claudia Ferraris advanced to the Top 10 at the Miss Universe 2008 pageant, placing ninth at the end of the competition won by Venezuela's Dayana Mendoza.



Jessie-May Broadhurst

Age: 25 | Height: 5’6″ | New Westminster, BC

Jessie May Broadhurst was born in New Westminster, Canada. ‘Momo’ has five siblings. Jessie May was asked to speak for an M.C.F.D. Conference, to help better understand the realities of being a foster child. Shortly after the laws were changed in her home province of B.C.
Jessie May was in a traumatic car accident 04/04/02. She awoke from a coma with a broken body and severe temporal brain injury. Through persistence of a supportive team this Aries regained her health.
Her travels have taken her throughout the globe exploring with different workshops, seminars and groups. Jessie May continues to speak. Powered by the passion for sharing, Jessie May is now writing her first book.

Languages spoken Fluently (please include your native language if English is not your native language)
I speak English fluently, although I am attempting to learn French and Spanish as well as sign language. Through my travels and cultural exchanges I do try to the best of my ability to communicate with all who travel my path. It is amazing what barriers can be overcome when there is a will of the mind and spirit.
What would be your “dream job” in life?
I dream of speaking about the things that matter, by being a motivational life speaker.  There are many grey areas and hardships in life and we as people need to be better equipped to deal with failures and disappointments, injury and losses or whatever may come your way. There are so many wonderful things that life has to offer but many hold themselves back from their true ability because they do not know how to make the necessary changes. I want to help share reassurance that anything can be achieved with the right mind set, determination with effort.
List any interesting or unusual jobs you may have had.
The most interesting and unusual job is becoming the writer to my very own book. I feel that by being open and direct about the circumstances I have lived through this is the most genuine and honest service I could ever provide the world. Even through discouraging times there is always the ability to step forward and take a new direction.
By not fearing judgment or ridicule, I am opening up my struggles to show progress and the ability to make change and regain the growth in life. I think anyone has a hard time finding what they are looking for, if they are looking in the dark. Awareness is our flame.
Where is the most interesting place you have been?
This truly is a difficult one to choose. One wonder to my own eyes was the lushness of a real rainforest, which did not do my childhood memories justice. St. Lucia is a hidden heaven without a doubt. To soak in the ‘Fountain of Youth’ and create a mud face, as a lady in her twenties, was a bit surreal! Being the worlds’ only drive in volcano, I must say was the icing on the cake!
When I emerged from the warm pool with my cracked heels, but no pain! I learned that from all the gases that the volcano itself creates so many healing remedies. To know such simple things that are needed, and the earth gives it back to us?  This is an interesting place to see for sure! You learn something new every day.
What is your philosophy of/in life?
I am a true believer in what ‘philosophy’ is, which is having the love of wisdom. The direction life may lead you is what it will be, you have the choice to use the knowledge that is given to you for betterment. By leading life with a positive mind set, life can be a very progressive and awakening journey. By enriching your life from the spoils of yesterday, you can create a nourished and supported growth of the new flowers of tomorrow; an adaption from a famous quote I adore.
Inner knowledge holds no bounds, the opposite which is the true meaning of ignorance. Ironically, if you don’t know you have it, how can you use it? Life can be beautiful if you make the choice to live it that way. ‘Ignorance is a state of being uninformed (lack of knowledge). The word “ignorant” is an adjective describing a person in the state of being unaware..’

What would be your “dream job” in life?
My dream job would be working in the corporate world as a leading representative for a public relations firm. As a current public relations representative, I am diligently working to attain this dream and am well on my way to achieving my career goals.
List any interesting or unusual jobs you may have had.
My most interesting job I have had has been working as a women’s fitness instructor and beauty consultant. Improving the self esteem and body image of women from all walks of life has been a fulfilling and rewarding occupation.
Where is the most interesting place you have been?
The most interesting place I have ever visited is Tokyo Japan. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience. I was given the opportunity to visit a traditional Zen garden, learn a Japanese fan dance and spend a day meditating in an ancient temple with the monks who resided there. I also traveled to Beijing China where I was able to walk along the Great Wall of China. Nothing can compare to the breathtaking experience of standing on one of the great wonders of the world.
What is your philosophy of/in life?
It is important for one to strive to remain open minded, empathetic and kind because if you are good to others, good will come to you.

We Chat to Miss Universe Australia 2011 Scherri-Lee Biggs!


At an intimate Nude by Naturelaunch this afternoon we caught up with Miss Universe Australia 2011 Scherri-Lee Biggs — the mineral makeup brand is the key makeup partner of the awards — to talk taking out the crown, top tips she's picked up from the pros and how she feels about winning the prestigious title that has previously been held by Jennifer Hawkins, Rachael Finch and Jesinta Campbell. The communications student from Perth will head to Brazil to compete in the Miss Universe World contest in September and will celebrate her 21st birthday out there. Here's what Scherri-Lee had to say . . .
On her new role: "I always knew that I would never do something "normal" and have a 9-5 job. And this is certainly different!"
On her exercise routine: "I'm an early riser, even if I've had little sleep, I'm always up by 8am so I exercise in the morning as this is when I have the most energy. If I do exercise at night, I'll do something like Pilates or just go for a walk."
On her diet: I'm big on vitamins and have actually looked into changing courses and studying to become a Naturopath — though that's probably not possible at the moment! I really like The Healthy Skin Diet by Karen Fischer and get most of my information about vitamins and supplements from there. I drink lots of water and always try to include vegetables, especially raw vegetables, into my meals. My mum's a really good cook and I've grown up with a healthy diet — I definitely don't diet. I hate diets!
On makeup and skincare: I like natural products and I like to keep things simple. I like the natural, no-makeup look.
On expert advice she's picked up from the pros: Contouring! And with travelling and not always being able to take everything with me, I've learnt to use products for different things, like bronzer on my eyes, or mixed in with paw paw for my lips. Or I'll use an eyeliner for a smudged, smoky eye look.

Miss World Kenya-2011

Nairobi: March 10th, 2011: The iced tea brand under the Nestlé stable, NESTEA® has entered into a partnership with ASHLEYS, the franchise owners of Miss World Kenya chapter to sponsor the 2011 Miss World Kenya.
The pageant will be known as NESTEA® Miss World Kenya.
At the same time NESTEA® is giving opportunities to underprivileged girls from across the country to participate in the NESTEA® Miss World Kenya beauty pageant.
Starting March 12, with the crowning of NESTEA® Miss Kibera 2011, NESTEA® will launch a countrywide head hunt for four young underprivileged ladies who will get direct entry into the finals of NESTEA® Miss World Kenya 2011.
“NESTEA® aims to give young women from a less privileged background who meets the criteria of the pageant to

Natasha Metto, Miss World Kenya 2010 and Guenter Spiess, Business Executive Manager-Nestle
participate in the process.
This is a life changing opportunity for any one girl, regardless of her back ground or her socio-economic status” said Guenter Spiess, Business Executive Manager – Coffee & Beverages, Nestlé Equatorial Africa Region.
The recruitment for Miss NESTEA® will take place during the NESTEA® road shows to be held in Kibera, Kayole, Kwangware, Githurai, Thika, Machakos, Mombasa, Narok, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu and Kisii as indicated in the route map below.

“We are not looking at how sophisticated the girls are and that is why we are conducting the head hunts from places like Kibera.  They just need to believe in themselves and meet the selection criteria such as the age limits and the minimum height requirement then they can show up at the events.
NESTEA® will show them how to wear makeup, do their hair, dress them up and give them a chance to be Miss World Kenya and change their world,” Mr. Spiess said.

Alpina M1 Vintage Sunglasses | Style

Let’s admit it, it wouldn’t be all that bad to be in the company (sartorially speaking) of Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rihanna and Stevie Wonder (obviously in his supercool phase). Well, with these Alpina M1 Vintage Sunglasses, you can be. Obviously, they’re quite a timeless pair of stunners, having skipped generations and still being regarded as worthy enough by some of the most influential artists of today. They were iconic in the ’80s and still seem to be so today.

You can probably grab a pair of these somewhere online, most places I saw were sold out apart from Kings of Past. Mind you, they’ve probably sold out there as well.

Ed Sheeran Live @ScalaLondon (Random Impulse supporting) | Live Review

You are here: Home / Blogs / Music / Live Music / Ed Sheeran Live @ScalaLondon (Random Impulse supporting) | Live Review


Entering a packed out Scala on Wednesday July 6, the excitement in the air for Ed Sheeran’s biggest headline show to date was evident, with people of all different shapes, colours and sizes jostling for the best view of the stage.

Random Impulse warmed up the already excitable London crowd with his rock, rap hybrid. Opening the show with a burst of energy with tracks “Comfortable,” “Best Party Ever” and his first single “Overload,” the guitar players rocked back and forth while the Grime MC from North London belted out explosive raps. With heads peeping out from every balcony and corner of the massive venue, the crowd was extremely responsive, singing along when asked to and shouting out suggestions for tracks the likes of The White Stripes‘ “Fell in love with a girl,” which Random Impulse happily obliged.

Air almost literally crackling with anticipation chants of “We want Ed” echo around the venue, culminated by deafening screams when he is spotted making his way onto the stage. After thanking the crowd profusely a thumping bass line takes over for his first song of the night, ‘Grade A.’ Something supremely endearing lives in Ed, partly due to the fact that he is so humble, partly due to the excitement on his face, and partly due to the fact that he is so undeniably talented.

The crowd watch enthralled as he stands alone, center stage and sings his heart out. “I chose not to do this gig with a band, as it gets bigger and bigger it gets harder and harder to do it solo,” he explains.

Adding to the intimacy of the show, Ed takes pains to explain the story behind each of his songs, drawing you into his world and making each person in the crowd feel like they really belong there. They say writing is like opening a vein, and if there was ever any doubt to this Ed makes it feel profusely true. With meaningful, extremely personal lyrics, emotion expressed on his face and through his voice, the crowd are awestruck. Having watched Ed perform to a handful of people at iluvlive some eight months ago the transformation is beautiful to watch, proud eyes glistening from every corner of the venue, in particular from where his parents are stood, beaming.

In addition to performing his well known songs the likes of ‘UNI,’ ‘Homeless’ and ‘A Team’ (which the crowd sing along to word for word) Ed also plays several new tracks which will be on his album + set to be released September 12 (available for pre-order now). Asking the crowd to please not record these songs he bleeds emotion, metaphors bringing his words to life. Deeply affected the crowd lowers their recording devices in respect, couples fondling as the words of his latest love song sink in.

Breaking the spell Mikill Pane joins Ed on stage for his remix of ‘the A-Team,’ followed by ‘You Need Me,’ which was recently announced as his next single. Exiting the stage the crowd hold their ground and chant ‘Ed’ until he comes back, grabbing a stool and making his way into the center of the crowd. Unplugged and unamplified he performs a final three tracks amongst a sea of faces and camera phones. “For this to work keep calm, don’t scream, just listen to the music,” he urges the crowd before launching into an old Irish folk song, a Skinny Love cover and his “favourite song he’s ever written,” ‘Gimme Love.’

Making his way out of the crowd and out of sight, the night is over. But his lyrics let’s see what the future holds, because it’s another day closer ring true. The future seems extremely bright for the humble protagonist, and after a show like that one, it’s evident everyone is rooting for him to succeed.

Major Lazer (producers Diplo and Switch) turn their remix skills to the Beastie Boys‘ collaborative effort with Santigold from the recently released Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 album.”Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win” originally sported a more laidback reggae style feel but the production duo have switched up the style into a more dancehall x electro energy.

Freshly unveiled is the Young Money/Cash Money president’s take on Meek Mill’s popular anthem “Tupac’s Back” from the Maybach Music Group album Self Made.
“Tunechi’s Back” is the 1st taster from Lil Wayne‘s forthcoming mixtape Sorry 4 The Wait which will be followed by Weezy’s long awaited album Tha Carter IV.

Erm… That was quite unimpressive. I was waiting for him to kill it but that wasn’t the one.
What do you guys think of Weezy’s “Tunechi’s Back”?
