flawed & fabulous

i think she looks a bit like a$ap rocky here

azealia banks is one of my favourite people right now. she's really outspoken so people find her provocative, controversial and bitchy. you don't get that very often with celebrities so i respect her. that would probably sound crazy to someone who really dislikes her, especially after the offensive twitter fights she's had with perez hilton, but i'd say her music, appearance and even thoughts are quite original. on february 1st she tweeted a little something that i really liked:

"mental cleansing. it's always good to do that. our crazy instantaneous lives add A LOT of crust over the third eye. i would love for the internet to shut down for six months... just to see if we can still remember all the shit we forgot as animals. it'd be some real, primal, survival of the fittest shit... the animal kingdom would regulate itself. but we're the scum of the earth... we do nothing but destroy it. the earth will reject us soon."

 it sounds kind of creepy but then again it's so true. the western world has become so dependent on technology and it's like we've forgotten that we're animals. azealia is so intelligent and i feel like the media only picks up on her flaws and highlights her mistakes. it really sucks but i think she's talented so whatever. in her song fierce (which she honestly is) there's a lyric that goes: my only bad habit, my addiction to win.

i recite in the raw the appetite for life and the hunger for the more

this is the video for 1991 by azealia banks and it's so cool. i love that purple lipstick she's wearing, it goes so well with her complexion. i think it's the same one she designed for mac cosmetics called yung rapunxel, which is the absolute coolest name for anything ever. she also wears a lot of black in the video; there's sunglasses, shoe-boot things, a glove and a sexy, stylish suit. i think her killer red nails, the fish bowl and the dancing top everything off.

azealia's image in this music video for atlantis really is fabulous. in the beginning she's has on a crop top and these shiny pinky-purple trousers that i love. there's also this kaftan-cardigany thing she wears, it's so pretty. her green weave and what i think is indian-inspired jewellery (the nose ring/chain, the bindi and jewels above her eyebrows) look amazing on her and the digital effects are great too, particularly when she's in the shark's mouth haha. azealia also rides a dolphin, comes out of a clam, gets chased by a shark and jellyfish and there are volcanoes. the video is so colourful and spacey and sea-themed, i love it.

could i even mention azealia without talking about her weave? haha she's so crazy, she goes for about 30 inches most of the time. black hair suits her well but of the colourful ones, purple is my favourite. one day i'd like to get a weave done similar to one of azealia's.

(p.s i got my images from google so yeah.)
