When at night,with a lover by your side,dim the lights and turn up the MP3 player to Emiliano Ortiz's old school romantic new release...My heart is set on "I Just Can't Have" http://www.myspace.com/emilianoortiz
Total Babe on the rise girlies!!! Straight and just legal or barely! Spread the love and share a dream.
I had the privileged of watching the lovely Allison Pierce debut her solo act last night.
When I first read that The Pierce's are taking a break for a bit to embark on their solo careers,my first thought was Noooooo!,I can't wait to hear what they both whip up on their own. Clearly mixed feelings. I think artist such as the sister act will inevitably play together forever so it is way healthy to give one artistic space,grow individually,then bring back all the strengths one has learned individually and feed each other those components.
Sister Catherine Pierce is not completely void of this project,there are some songs indeed that she helped Allison write.
Anyway at The Living Room in NYC's LES Allison Pierce debuted some beautiful songs that are reminiscent of her southern roots. As a solo artist she plays acoustic guitar the whole time while singing in that pretty powerful voice of her's. Violist Gillian Lewis is still there gracefully accenting every song with her brilliance,as is Allison's husband on guitar,and Russell Simmin's on drums. A pianist was added to the band and bassist Josh Lattanzi (my neighbor) drops in every once in awhile to add to a song.
I hope she records this soon and releases it on itunes,because the video I took for "I Shot My Lover In the Head",and "I Love My Technology" have been a hit on youtube,But somehow all their die hard fans find away to contact me and ask where they can buy the songs,why is it not on itunes,when will the new record be out? Since between those 2 videos have been released there is almost 20,000 hits,so you do the math and round off how many messages my inbox have been filled with.
With a step dad who is an X rock star to Foreigner, a celebrity stylist mama Anne-Dexter Jones, big brother DJ Mark who is up for a Grammy or so, and a couple of twins (Charlotte the constant uprising fashion designer and sis Samantha who is following in her brother's steps as a top notch DJ) oh yeah and a few beautiful youngsters.The Ronson Family couldn't get any cooler if they tried, "could they?"....Actually yes it looks like they could.
Charlotte Ronson is a continually uprising fashion designer who is taking over the world as she has recently opened up a store in Japan and is sold every where else. and she is only 30. Her designing has come a long way from a simple lingerie/t shirt line that once sold in a very small boutique she owned in NYC's Nolita district. She now has an even bigger store in the same neighborhood located on Mulberry Street. The store is packed with her entire clothing and shoe line. Its all a pretty place to stop and just gaze at the wall paper and pin up girl posters. Jen the manager is always a friendly ready and willing sales girl who will help but not push you in a corner to buy something. Charlotte's collection has really advanced in design detail over the years from lapels to plackets right down to the very button placement. Right on Char!!!
They've all got style passion and direction and OMG obviously a set of morale and values. You won't find the socialites stepping out of limos missing a pair of panties. Finally some famous role models have arrived. College educated and all.
Samantha not only DJ's all over Hollywood,but is a singer song writer as well. Everyone should check out her myspace page for a taste of her vocals.
I know we usually don't focus on the famous and fabulous on this page. But after all Charlotte started out way small despite coming from a family fortune. One of the few who didn't dive directly into the big time but rather used baby steps other than rely on daddy. How humbling that is. No immediate runway shows and insta-fame!!! Oh and don't forget VOTE RONSON!!!
