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.

Miss Pakistan World Beauty Contest or Beauty Pageant in Canada, List of All Miss Pakistan, 2010,2011
Beauty contests are controversial in Pakistan and hence it never organized in Pakistan due to security and other concerns. Even some human right activists in Pakistan are against this contest because it is harmful for their social work in Pakistan. This competition has nothing to do with Pakistani government or Pakistan based entity because it is held by overseas Pakistanis and participants of this controversial beauty contest are also overseas Pakistanis.

Jhene Aiko – “Stranger” | Official Visual
We were wondering what happened to this visual.
Moments ago sultry R&B singer Jhene Aiko tweeted the link for the official visuals for this amazing song from her sailing soul(s) mixtape, the fan favourite “Stranger”.
The track is written and performed by Jhene Aiko, produced by Fisticuffs, cut by Bryant Robinson and directed by topshelfjunior.com.
Simple but effective video telling the story of a beautifully eerie song.
Press play!

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
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.
