Christmas Shoot from Erica Elizabeth Designs + Yuna Leonard ...

Posted: 24 Dec 2012 08:00 AM PST

When it comes to Christmas time, traditions rule and that's why we're loving this vintage inspired engagement session photo shoot designed by Erica Elizabeth Designs and captured by Yuna Leonard Photography. We're talking antique ornaments from the 1920′s and 30′s, an adorable real life newly engaged couple, and some pretty fabulous garments. See even more right here in the full gallery.

From Erica Elizabeth Designs… While planning a shoot with an old world holiday Christmas theme, our model Kristin announced that she was recently happily engaged. What better way to complete a shoot than to have a real couple with honest affection for each other? Eric and Kristin, both from eastern states, came to California separately to pursue their acting careers. They met in an acting class, and it was love at first sight!

They are shown here in this enchanting, Christmas-themed engagement shoot among vintage ornaments from 1910 to 1930 with more recent European, mouth-blown glass ornaments. German and American mercury glass, vintage German forest deer and die-cut, paper Dresden ornaments all hang from vintage German handmade goose feather Christmas trees, as well as an adorned cedar forest. The table settings are a reproduction of a time that was very different from today. Franciscan china, Williamsburg shell pattern silver and Waterford crystal shine among the precious, vintage-styled stationery from the talented Julie Fisher of GoGo Snap Vintage Correspondence.

Irfan One: Pengarah Filem Muda - Syamsul Yusof

Posted: 19 Nov 2012 08:22 PM PST

IrfanOne tertarik di dalam MStar Online mengenai Pengarah filem muda Syamsul Yusof yang mengakui sedang mendalami ajaran agama Islam... Mari kita sama-sama menghayatinya...

KUALA LUMPUR: Pengarah filem muda Syamsul Yusof mengakui sedang mendalami ajaran agama Islam sejak kebelakangan ini agar menjadi Muslim yang benar-benar bertakwa.

Syamsul atau nama sebenarnya Mohd Syamsul Yusof, 28, berkata, perubahan itu dilakukan sedikit demi sedikit dengan mendekati golongan ilmuwan Islam selain belajar mendalami agama tersebut menerusi buku.

"Sekarang ini saya mahu mendalami Islam kerana saya merasakan diri ini benar-benar cetek dalam pengetahuan agama.

"Bukan itu sahaja, saya turut berkongsi kepada peminat apa yang telah dipelajari di Facebook dan Twitter.

"Bersempena dengan tahun baru Hijrah ini, tak kiralah daripada segi peribadi dan kerja, saya ingin menjadi insan yang lebih baik dan berguna kepada masyarakat, Insya-Allah," katanya kepada mStar Online.

Tambah Syamsul dia juga percaya golongan remaja di luar sana turut mempunyai masalah yang sama di mana mereka masih tercari-cari landasan hidup menyebabkan dia mahu berkongsi mengenai Islam menerusi pelbagai medium termasuk filem.

Sementara itu, pada Konsert Zikir Terapi Diri Hafiz Hamidun yang diadakan pada Rabu lalu, Syamsul yang merupakan penyanyi undangan berjaya mempersembahkan sebuah zikir berjudul Ya Rabbi bersama saudaranya Dr. Anwar Fazal Abu Bakar (Burn & Soul).

Syamsul hadir turut menyanyikan lagu ciptaannya sendiri iaitu Ya Rabbi.

Terlalu menghayati lirik, air mata Syamsul turut tertumpah tatkala mengalunkan lagu yang merupakan latar filem Khurafat itu.

Ditemui selepas habis konsert tersebut, dedah Syamsul, dia menghantar pesanan melalui laman Twitter kepada Hafiz untuk menyatakan hasrat menyertai konsert penyanyi nasyid itu.

"Sebenarnya saya peminat setia Hafiz Hamidun dalam diam. Jika saya boleh berkongsi bab agama tidak kira dari segi lagu atau filem saya akan dekatkan diri ke arah itu," jelasnya.

Bagus! kaedah dan cara Pengarah Muda ini menjalankan dakwah beliau kepada umat manusia / masyarakat khususnya kepada para belia sekarang.

Maya Karin Terharu Cikgu Keluarkan Duit, Belanja Anak Murid ...

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 04:05 PM PST

Semalam, berlangsungnya tayangan filem Lagenda Budak Setan 2 di panggung wayang TGV, Wangsa Walk. Apa yang menarik disini, tayangan filem ini telah diadakan khas untuk 600 orang pelajar yang baru menamatkan Sijil Peperiksaan Malaysia (SPM) dan ditaja sepenuhnya oleh cikgu, Encik Venkateswaran.

Tujuan Encik Venkateswaran adalah untuk menggalakkan pelajarnya menonton dan menyokong filem-filem Melayu. Tayangan filem ini turut dihadiri oleh salah seorang aktress popular yang turut terlibat dalam filem LBS2 iaitu Maya Karin.

"Saya sangat terharu yang cikgu sanggup keluarkan duit dan belanja untuk anak murid dan sokong filem lakonan saya. Masa sekolah saya tak pernah dapat pengalaman macam ini," luah Maya.

Bukan kali pertama, Encik Venkateswaran juga pernah menganjurkan program yang sama ketika filem 'Ombak Rindu' dipawagam. Namun, pelakon yang hadir pada waktu itu adalah Lisa Surihani dan kini telah pun bergelar isteri kepada Yusry KRU.

"Saya mahu buat macam ini lagi selepas ini," ujar Maya merujuk pada tayangan filem lakonannya untuk pelajar lepasan SPM.

Dalam pada itu, Maya ketika ditanya mengenai percutiannya di Nepal turut berkongsi sedikit pengalaman ketika mendaki gunung disana. Dia menjelaskan, ketika berada disana, tidak pernah muncul masalah untuk menunaikan kewajipan agama.

"Senang saja, kalau di tempat yang susah dan tak ada tempat selesa, kita boleh sembahyang dimana-mana. Tak perlu pakai telekung pun tak apa, yang penting menutup aurat," jelasnya

Maya juga memberitahu sepanjang berada disana, dia hanya mengamalkan pemakanan sayur-sayuran sahaja. Pelakon berusia 33 tahun ini bakal muncul dengan filem terbarunya iaitu Lagenda Budak Setan 3 dan juga Jwanita.

Petang tadi, ratusan Bikers berkumpul di hadapan Sri Pentas untuk membantah kenyataan Mazidul Akmal Sidik yang menfitnah bikers sebagai 'pelesit jalanan' melalui rancangan Majalah 3. Video yang telah dirancang tersebut menampilkan dua orang penunggang superbike berlumba dijalanraya. Kesilapan Mazidul adalah tidak memberitahu penonton bahawa ianya adalah sesuatu yang telah dirancang malah menggelarkan penunggang superbike sebagai palesit jalanan dan mendatangkan kemarahan para rider di Malaysia.

Dipetik dari penjelasan seorang followers Oh! Media:

Zizan baru menjelaskan kepada saya sebentar tadi dan meminta bantuan agar kes beliau difitnah memegang kertas AES itu kerana selepas beliau mahu masuk ke Seri Pentas Tv3 untuk mengacara racangan siaran langsung MELODI dan beliau telah lambat kerana di Demonstrasi oleh orang yang merusuh kerana Mazidul Akmal dari 999 memfitnah penunggang motor berkuasa tinggi. Zizan keluar dari kereta dan mahu masuk ke studio kerana kereta beliau tersangkut di tengah-tengah demonstrasi depan itu dan tidak mahu kelewatan. Sebagai seorang artis paling popular beliau di datangi dan diserbu oleh ahli demonstrasi yang mengenali beliau dan juga orang berebut untuk bergambar oleh orang yg membuat demotrasi dan tangan Zizan ketika dilihat dalam gambar amat banyak sekali barang dan ketika itu seorang ahli demontrasi itu telah memberi kertas yg Zizan tidak perasan apa itu dan terus mengangkat tangan dan masuk ke Studio tanpa mengetahui apa yg tertulis.

*dalam kenyataan bloger2 pembangkang mengatakan selepas melodi 1.45ptg dan itu adalah fitnah dan kejadian terjadi sebelum mahu mengacara Melodi.

*Mengangkat kertas boikot AES itu adalah tidak benar kerana beliau hanya melambai tangan kerana mahu cepat ke studio dan Zizan tidak mempunyai pegawai keselamatan.

Zizan meminta supaya pihak kerajaan mahupun rakyat tidak memanipulasi gambar itu dan memintanya menyokong dan menganggap ini satu kejadian yang tidak diketahuinya dan kerana populariti beliau telah disalah guna.

On The Record: AKIM and THE TEDDY VANN PRODUCTION ...

Posted: 24 Dec 2012 05:05 AM PST

It's that time of year again! No, not to wish everyone peace on Earth and good will toward men, but time for me to COMPLAIN about those radio stations that play NOTHING but "holiday favorites", in remade versions by the most HORRID people ever to set foot behind a microphone and an AutoTune program! Yaaaaaay!

You've heard me rant about this before - here in the NYC area, radio station WLTW (aka "Lite FM") has made it a holiday tradition to start bombarding us with "holiday favorites" (because heaven forbid they have the balls to say "Christmas music") about TWO WEEKS BEFORE THANKSGIVING! Thanksgiving! We've just put the Halloween decorations back in the attic and these clowns are shoving Christmas (er, sorry, THE HOLIDAYS) down our collective throats! ARRRRRGH!

To make matters worse, as I've said time and time again, the station programs the most homogenized, safe, and BLAND versions of Chris - oops - HOLIDAY songs they can come up with. It's like the musical version of the pink slime they use in McDonald's food; extruded from a machine, like one long gigantic turd, no variation whatsoever. Only the bottom of the barrel here, folks; Rascal Flatts, Rod Stewart, oh, and I hear that Taylor Swift has now come out with a nifty new version of "Santa Baby" (JUST what the world needs). Also, it seems that, just for my own personal annoyance, the station contracts every one of the artists they play to do a version of "Silver Bells" - my LEAST favorite Chr - damn it, HOLIDAY song.....

I think that's what annoys me most about the station; their insistence on calling the music "holiday favorites". Funny, every song they seem to play is a CHRISTMAS song. I've never heard any Chanukah (or Hanukkah, however you wanna spell it) songs on there, and I certainly haven't heard any Kwanzaa tunes (hell, I haven't even heard "Back Door Santa" on there, even in an inferior version by the likes of Keith Urban or Jason Mraz or Josh Groban).

If I had the opportunity, I would LOVE to go to the station's studios, tie up the program director (or unplug him, since it's most likely a computer), and take over for a day. If I did, you'd hear some GOOD holiday music by folks like James Brown, Paul Revere and The Raiders, The Ventures, The Staple Singers - and this one, celebrating Kwanzaa, by Akim.

Akim is the daughter of famed record producer Teddy Vann, who produced many, many soul and R&B artists in the 1960s, such as The Bobbettes, Johnny Thunder, The Sandpebbles, Dave "Baby" Cortez, Donald Height, and Frankie and The Classicals.

But Teddy was much more than just a record producer; he was one of the first to get into the "black consciousness" movement in the 1960s. Calling himself a "born-again African", he gave his three children traditional African names - Akim, Kayode and Chinyere - and let his (and his childrens') hair grow out into a "natural". But lest you think Teddy was simply a black militant, he also preached multiculturalism; many of the Jews who lived in his neighborhood in Brooklyn noted that he could speak Yiddish almost as well as they could.

In 1973, Teddy decided to take his oldest child into the studio with him to record an LP which celebrated the holidays - the holidays as HE saw them. Teddy did not want his children growing up thinking that there was no one to represent their people at Christmas time. So he wrote this tune and made it the title cut of the LP, and the LP's one and only single. It's probably the ONLY holiday song that wishes its listeners a Merry Christmas AND a Happy Kwanzaa.

Hmmmm.....and Lite FM doesn't play this because.....?

I mean, it fits in with their "multicultural" approach to programming..... could it be that, after all these years, the station is afraid of the term "black"? I dunno. But what I DO know is that I'm gonna blast this 45 at my house as long as I'm able to. Sure, I'll never be able to relate to the lack of cultural identity vis-a-vis white America that caused Teddy Vann to write this, but I can totally get behind a dude teaching his kids about their cultural heritage, making the holiday season an opportunity for EVERYONE to enjoy their holiday without fear of ridicule, and in the end, isn't that what America is SUPPOSED to be about?

Of course, someone DID ridicule it - namely John Waters, filmmaker extraordinaire. He included "Santa Claus Is A Black Man" on a compilation called "A John Waters Christmas" (illegally) and then proceeded to call the record a "crackpot carol" and a "Christmas lunatic song". Teddy Vann was not amused. He sued Waters for improper use of the song in 2008; I don't know how the case turned out, since Teddy Vann died from cancer on December 6, 2009.

No matter how you hear this record, I guarantee that it will become one of your favorite Christmas / Kwanzaa tunes!

So, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and for you atheists, have a nice day. But I will not wish ANY of you a "Happy Holiday".

Love, Scrooge.
