ZZ Top – Pearl Necklace
Oct 14, 2010 Rock Bands
ZZ Top is an American rock trio, formed in late 1969 in Houston, Texas, by Billy Gibbons (lead vocals and lead guitar), Dusty Hill (vocals, bass, and keyboards), and Frank Beard (drums). ZZ Top has been together for four decades, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and was ranked number 44 on VH1 cable’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.” The band holds the distinction of being among the few rock bands still composed of its original recording members for nearly 40 years and until September 2006, the same manager/producer/image maker, Bill Ham. ZZ Top reached peak commercial success in the 1970s and 1980s, scoring many hit songs during that era, but they remain together today and are still touring and releasing albums. ZZ Top was inducted by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during the annual induction ceremony on March 15, 2004. Summarizing their music, Cub Koda wrote, “As genuine roots musicians, they have few peers; Gibbons is one of America’s finest blues guitarists working in the hard rock idiom … while Hill and Beard provide the ultimate rhythm section support.” Their song lyrics often feature sexual innuendo and tasteful humor. ________________________________________ She’s really upset with me again, I didn’t give her what she likes. I don’t know what to tell her, Don’t know what to say. Everything got funky last night. She was really bombed, And I was really blown away, Until I asked her what she wanted, And …
A Modern Take on the Classic Pearl Necklaces
Mar 15, 2010 Classic Rock
When you think of pearl necklaces, you probably conjure up images of your grandmother’s pearls, Audrey Hepburn and other classic vintage beauties. After all, growing up, we were taught that pearl necklaces were part of looking the proper part. Today, pearl necklaces are as popular as ever, thanks to the trendsetters like Michelle Obama. Although the necklaces are as timeless and beautiful as always, the styles have been updated to reflect a more modern twist.
Multi-strand pearl necklaces are all the rage right now. Whether you choose one necklace to wrap, or several different ones, the look is all about layering. Celebs like Kate Bosworth, Mischa Barton and Madonna choose to twist one strand to create several necklaces. Ashlee Simpson likes to go a little rock and roll with her pearls, twisting a strand to create a choker and a long necklace.
If you prefer shorter necklaces, then consider a pearl choker. Even Helen Mirren is on the trend, showing that age has nothing to do with great style. For a look that you can wear to the office, choose jumbo gumball size pearls that will add interest to a polished outfit.
Although traditional pearls are quite beautiful, it’s time to add a little color to spice up your look. Experiment with pearls of different hue like silver, gold or pink. These eye catching stones are a new take on an old favorite. Or, if you’re looking for something a little edgier, try a necklace that is intertwined with twisted chains. This contrast between romantic and edgy is the perfect combination to take you from day to night.
Pearl necklaces have always been a favorite of brides and bridesmaid, but if you’re looking to get married, opt for an updated look with floating pearls or an asymmetrical necklace. Your bridal party will look amazing and super stylish.
