Grammy Award

Remembering The Queen of Disco

It is with sadness that we write our condolences to all those who were touched by the beloved singer-songwriter, Donna Summer, who passed away at the age of 63 yesterday. Best known for her songs “Hot Stuff,” “Bad Girls,” and “Last Dance,” Summer was the “Queen of Disco.” Five-time Grammy winner, she was the first female to have four No. 1 singles grace the charts in just a 13-month period.

In honor of  the amazingly talented Donna Summers we can think of no better way than to capture her true essence in typical disco/Studio 54 style. The seventies influence in fashion has had a recent revival; from major platforms to extreme flares to sequins, everywhere you look the aura of disco and Donna Summer still lives on!

How will you remember the “Queen of Disco”?

Getting Grammy Ready

Since the Grammy’s are this Sunday, the stars should be well into their personal routines in order to look their best for the red carpet.  But maybe YOU have an event to go to and don’t have the same resources, time or money as the celebs. P3R shares some quick tips for looking your best!

There are many different methods to go about being prepared for an event and taking vitamins is a crucial ingredient for making your skin glow.  Check out VitaminShoppe for supplements that will make nails harder, hair silkier, and skin radiant.

Others opt for doing a cleanse.  It’s common to think that ‘cleansing’ is just a fancy way to crash diet.  In reality, the key purpose is to cleanse your body of toxins and reinforce a more healthy ‘you.’  Losing weight from a cleanse is a secondary effect from rebooting your system.  After the cleanse is over, eating healthy foods is necessary to keep the ball rolling.  If you revert back to junk food, it completely negates the cleanse.

Drink lots of water! Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima added drinking a gallon of water into her diet as she prepared for the fashion show last year.  Since you probably won’t be sporting lingerie to your next event, you don’t have to go that extreme, but hydration is necessary for healthy, glowing skin.

Remember: Don’t give in to outside pressures and critiques!  It happens to everyone, including those going to the Grammys.  Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld was recently quoted, “Adele is a little too fat.”  If you feel beautiful and confident on the inside, it will translate to looking great!

This year she is heading to the Grammys with 6 nominations including Album of the Year for 21 and “Rolling in the Deep” is nominated for Song of the Year and Record of the Year.  We doubt she cares what other people think of her!
