Dondria Performs For African Pride Hair Care Launching Event

ON HER GIRZZIE Contributor: TeamDondria Monica Lawson After attending African Pride Launch Party in Atlanta (March 16) where  SoSo Def recording artist Dondria performed; I realized why I proudly call myself a part of #TeamDondria! Dondria brought down the house with a 3 song set. Many Dondria fans were in attendance due to the contest held last month by African Pride on their facebook page. During this contest fans had to comment on the My African Pride page with “Dondria sent me” in order to be eligible to attend the launch. The first 50 were selected. As one of the 50 selected I attended the launch eager to see Dondria perform. As Dondria hit the stage I was NOT disappointed from Dondria’s amazing vocals to her keen spirit, and killer shoes. Dondria started her set off with a popluar hit ” Can You Help Me” from her first album, Dondria vs Phattfffat”. Follow by “kissed by the Sun” which Dondria calls her Disney song. She then closed her set off with “You’re The One”., definitely a crowd favorite. Throughout the performance Dondria was continuously interacting with the audience, mesmerizing those who never knew such a powerful voice could come out of such a small body. As someone who has seen Dondria perform several times, I was still in awe as I watched her on stage… Dondria continues to grow as an artist capturing her audience with her voice. Dondria is definitely “must see” when she comes to a city near you!

Perrelet Turbine XS Ladies Watch

THIS MIGHT NEED TO BE UNISEX The oft talked about Perrelet Turbine watch collection gets its first ladies model with Turbine XS. It looks to use the original Perrelet Turbine case that was about 43mm wide – though it could be smaller. The case is in either steel or titanium and DLC black coated. The design is a fascinating mixture between sport and luxury. With the spinning dial turbine allowing diamonds set on the dial to flash with movement of the wrist. More diamonds are set in the bezel and on the lugs. Instead of the original rubber strap a satin one is used. The black on black dial is sporty for sure, but the diamonds are formal. I just can’t figure out what to call the watch (sporty or something else) – though I think the type of woman who likes wearing aviator gloves with high heels will pull this timepiece off smashingly. The movement is a Swiss made automatic. The watch will be officially debuted soon.

Aesir Copenhagen by Yves Behar

THIS SOME 2011 JAMES BOND SHIT There are some pretty striking electronics designs out there — whether they’re from the iHome Studio Series or Bang & Olufsen. While talented industrial designers toil away at making our gadgets more beautiful, few have tapped into the pool of the world’s most renowned designers. Names like Yves Behar, with whom Denmark’s Aesir has teamed up for this latest top-of-the-line mobile phone. Rejecting the obsolescence of the mobile phone market in favor of an emphasis on design and craftsmanship, the Aesir Copenhagen by Yves Behar phone features an upper half made of ceramics and a sapphire crystal lens. The lower part can be had in 316L-grade stainless steel or in 18-karat gold. The phone launches in Europe this summer, followed by an autumn roll-out in other markets, with prices set at €7,250 for the steel model and €42,000 for the gold.
