Beyoncé, The Diva

"I felt like it was time to set up my future, so I set a goal. My goal was independence." - Beyoncé Knowles

HELLO, HELLO, HELLO! (imagine it in Count Olaf's voice)

How are y'all doing? Everyone all good? So recently there were the VMAs, and as much as I haven't watched any of these award shows but The Oscars lately, there were high points during the performance. What I really like about the latest tendency in the music world is this continuing growing presence of feminism - not hate towards men, by the way, but real feminism - that some artists, both male and female have shown. Regardless of anything else, Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea, for instance, do represent that. Seems like a media trend, since movies like Frozen and Brave have also been putting forth the message that not only women are strong and independent, but can still be feminine about it (well, mostly anyway). But there is someone that doesn't just represent that, but has been shoving it in everybody's faces for years now...

Freddie, The Mystery

"The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course." - Freddie Mercury

HELLO, HELLO, HELLO! Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! I'm not sure if you've noticed, but this post is written in English. Might've come up to your attention, I'll say. HOORAY! THE BLOG IS IN ENGLISH NOW, WOOO HOOO!!

Seriously now, I am starting a new phase of the blog - which is writing it in English. Personally I am way more comfortable in English than I am in Portuguese, but for those of you who prefer the latter, fret not; every now and again there will be a post in PT-BR, regarding things that matter mostly to you, Portuguese-speaking crowds. I won't be writing in a difficult manner, but please let me know how it all works out for you - that's what the comments section is for!

(Also, for those of you who do not know me personally, I get into bitch mode when I'm speaking in English. Blame all of the British culture I've been around.)

SO. I thought we could take the opportunity of this first English post to talk about something - or rather someone - that I really admire: Freddie 'Farrokh Bulsara' Mercury.
