When did it happen that stylists became more important than the clients they dress? These days we hear more about LA superstylist Rachel Zoe than we do about her famous customers. And what about red-carpet stalwart Phillip Bloch? Don’t we see more of him than his perfectly coiffured creations? Surely, the secret to a good stylist is to interpret the talent’s look, not become the talent itself.
There is one who prefers to stay under the radar and allow his handiwork to do the talking. But now, with a rumour swirling that Victoria Beckham wants to get her hands on him to design her new fashion line, the question on everyone’s Botoxed lips from London to LA is:
“Who is Zaldy?”
Short answer: a stylist to the stars and designer of his own line, whose full name is Zaldy Goco.
Slightly longer answer: self- invented creative genius and calming Swami-like character to even the most stressed celebrities seeking his sartorial services. He was the man behind Gwen Stefani’s label LAMB, and is known to all by his first name only.

In the mid 1990s, while working as an image consultant for Donna Karan, Shiseido and other brands in need of a tune-up, Zaldy, dressed in drag, shot a racy Levi’s television commercial. It was banned in America and shown only late at night in the UK. With star turns on the catwalk for Thierry Mugler and Jean Paul Gaultier around the same time, Zaldy found himself flirting with serious fame – movie roles and the rest of it. But in the end, he withdrew, saying, “I only wanted to make clothes. That was my passion. I didn’t feel like dressing up any more.”

Article Headline: Michael Jackson: What did the superstar say to the presenter?
Article Date: March 6th, 2009
Article Source: blogs.telegraph.co.uk
I guess the question of whether people are still interested in seeing Michael Jackson has been comprehensively answered by news that the dedicated Jackson O2 website has been creaking under the strain of 16,000 fans visiting every second.
Which must be a relief for all concerned, cause the public wasn’t looking quite so interested at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. His carefully stage-managed appearance at the O2 arena seems to have done the trick, by putting Jackson on our screens and in our inboxes, with a luxurious red backdrop, flashing lights and a big crowd of noisy fans. Even though, from the perspective of someone actually standing in the cavernous, cold O2 lobby, it was all smoke and mirrors.

A new video of hundreds of prison inmates performing a dance routine inspired by the Michael Jackson documentary “This Is It” is something of a sequel to one of the most popular viral videos of all time.
Two years ago, a video of 1,500 inmates in the Philippines’ Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center dancing a routine set to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” was uploaded to YouTube. Since then, it’s reached more than 37 million views.
Prison Chief Byron F. Garcia has actually released several videos since “Thriller.” The prison has even become a tourist spot, putting on a monthly performance, selling souvenir shirts and offering visitors chances to have their pictures taken with the dancing inmates.
None of the previous videos have come close to the viral success of “Thriller,” though. But now that MJ has sadly passed on, we thought it appropriate to share this performance. It was actually made possible by MJ’s choreographer, Travis Payne. He and two dancers (Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid) taught the inmates all the steps. Go ahead and watch both the dance routine based on “This Is It” (set to “They Don’t Care About Us”) and the classic “Thriller” video if you like dancing. Hey, we all do — that’s why videos like these are so insanely popular.
