Preggers Jourdan Dunn walks for Jean Paul Gaultier

    Even though she's six months' pregnant, Jourdan Dunn still made an appearance during Paris Fashion Week over the weekend - walking in the always hotly anticipated Jean Paul Gaultier show.

    Dunn made an appearance in an outfit that was JPG-redux - a bronze conical bra a la Madonna in the 80s, but this time, updated with a belly pad for her  baby bump!

    Check out the pics below.

Islandistas out and about - Jourdan, Selita and ... Foxy?



    [caption id="attachment_1504" align="alignleft" width="259" caption="Photo credit: Fashionologie"]Photo credit: Fashionologie[/caption]

      She might be big pregnant but that is not stopping our favourite islandista model Jourdan Dunn, from making the scene during the Spring/Summer 2010 fashion season.



     

    First, she was made an appearance for Vogue's big event, Fashion's Night Out in London and then she made it over to New York City for Fashion Week there and hung out  on the front rows and backstage with friends like Sessilee Lopez.

    And now she's popping up at her hometown's own, London Fashion Week, taking in the Top Shop Unique(above) and Issa shows (below).

    And it looks like pregnancy agrees with Jourdan as she is looking mighty perky in the cleavage department nowadays, especially in that Issa maxi dress.

    Other islandistas have been out and about recently.

    Caymanian Selita Ebanks made an appearance at the New Yorkers for Children charity ball last night in a gorrrr-geous yellow J. Mendel gown.

    And on the less than fab side, Trini-descended former jailbird and (former?) rapper Foxy Brown surfaced at the VH1 Hip Hop Honours last night. Looking ... like this.

    What precisely is going on here? Nobody could have told her this was cute. Damn it, Foxy.

Jourdan Dunn 'in' and out of Fashion Week

    For a brief moment, it looked like Jourdan Dunn, who is five months pregnant, would be walking the runway at the upcoming New York Fashion Week for the Spring/Summer '10 collections.

    The news flew across the internet yesterday afternoon and this morning, when Models.com posted a picture of Jourdan's card, which was included among those for the season.

    Fashionologie picked up on it and included the tidbit in a mixer post and then New York Magazine picked up on it from there and off it went, causing a temporary spike of excitement and speculation among fashionistas.

    But ... it was all for nought.

    Turns out Jourdan will not be walking this season. By 11 a.m. this morning, a rep from her agency Women agency, confirmed that Jourdan will not be appearing in any of the shows.

    Move along folks! Nothing to see here...

Another soca mummy - Destra pregnant

    destrapregWha de jail...!

    How on earth did we at islandista miss this?

    Soca songbird Destra Garcia is joining the line of soca mummies as she is pregnant with her first child.

    She revealed this in an interview with the Trinidad Express last week.

    She told the Express she did not even realise she was pregnant for a while as she "always had a bit of an iregular cycle" and she had no morning sickness.

    However, she did notice that she had become a bit more bountiful up top, as she had gone up by two bra cup sizes.

    The father to be is her long-time boyfriend, Brian Morris, who is the sound engineer for her band, Atlantik. He says the couple is planning marriage to go with baby in the "not too distant future".

    However, like the other soca mummies - Alison Hinds, Denyse Belfon and most recently, Fay-Ann Lyons, Destra does not seem to intend to stop performing.

    At a recent show at Adam Smith Square in Woodbrook, Saucy Wow coached Destra on how to do de wickedest preggers wine, much to the delight of all the fans.

    The baby is due in January 2010 - right, right before Carnival 2010 and it will be interesting to see how Destra copes with the public pressure that is sure to come to bear on her.

    You know how we West Indians like to act like pregnancy is a illness that requires a woman to be bed-ridden.

    In the meantime, we at Islandista offer our congrats to the mummy to be!

Jourdan Dunn confirms pregnancy

    Jourdan Dunn has confirmed what we reported a few days back - she is indeed pregnant.

    In an interview with Vogue.co.uk, Jourdan said she was excited about motherhood:
    "I'm really looking forward to the future and having my baby... I'm lucky - I'm feeling really well. I'm healthy and happy!"

    Vogue also reported that the father is Jourdan's boyfriend of many years and that Jourdan plans to continue working between London and New York after the baby's birth in December.

Jourdan Dunn is pregnant!

    [caption id="attachment_1288" align="alignleft" width="234" caption="Photo credit: David Sims"]Photo credit: David Sims[/caption]

    ...Or so says Vogue magazine, which casually dropped this bombshell on the fashion public with a piece on Style.com titled 'Expecting in Style : What the pregnant Jourdan should wear this fall'.

    New York Magazine's nymag.com followed it up by stating that apparently Dunn is four months pregnant and is due in December.

    Whoa.

    We're feeling a bit conflicted about this news here at islandista.

    On the one hand, Jourdan is an adult - 19 years old. And British women do tend to have children earlier.

    But on the other hand ... 19 is still pretty young. And Jourdan's career has just been hitting some amazing highs in the last year. To take a break off from the scene at this point in time could hurt her momentum.

    I feel a bit as if a little sister or cousin has done something that you just know could change her life in a big way and you are a bit scared that she's going to have to grow up so much more quickly.

    But of course, having been a model since she was discovered at 15, Jourdan has probably grown up quite quickly in recent years and is no doubt more mature than other 19 years old.

    Sigh....


    Lord knows we love us some Jourdan here at islandista so all we can do is wish our favourite islandista supermodel all the best.

A pelau post for my islandistas!

    I got a pelau kind of post for y'all here - a bit of this and a bit of that. Let it simmer and it gine be real good! :)

    The day after completing her Carnival sweep, Queen of the Road, Fay-Ann Lyons-Alvarez was resting up at home and laughing off rumours that she had delivered a 'Carnival Baby'.
     photo credit: Newsday


    Speaking to the Trinidad Express, she said:
    This is marvellous. The rumour went out by who, we don't know, and people instantly believed it. We told people that called it was not true, and they still believed the rumour. The rumour took precedence over what we were saying. This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Even though we are saying the baby has not come as yet, people insist it has. It just goes to show that you can't believe everything you hear. Ian and I had a good laugh over it.

    In an interview with Newsday, Bunji added:
    It looks like everyone is so excited with Fay’s baby that they feel that it is the nation’s baby. Since Saturday we have been hearing the rumours. We were sitting looking at the television when the announcer came across and announced that Fay had her baby, we just looked at each other and burst out laughing.

    They both licked out against the bad-minded people who have been saying ... get this one... that she got pregnant just to get people on her side during Carnival, with Bunji saying:
    This is a life not a toy, we wouldn’t do something to jeopardise the child.

    Wow. People really taking this thing too far though - how they could really think that her getting pregnant during Carnival could be purpose-work? It doesn't even make any sense, for it certainly made her job more difficult  for while, as she said, she was not sick, you can't jump and wave much when you're eight months along - besides it not being a good idea, gravity is kind of working against you.



    In her interview with the Guardian, Fay-Ann also had some interesting and insightful observations about how accommodating promoters were of her pregnancy and how it augurs well for other women in the industry who may consider being pregnant and performing.
     “The promoters were lovely. They provided a lounge chair and water backstage and I was comfortable.” She said that act demonstrated that other women in the industry could become pregnant and continue their careers.

    Good stuff to hear.

    In other news, The Insider is claiming that Rihanna has actually spent much of the last few weeks since the Chris Brown incident, recovering in a villa in Punta Mita, Mexico, while her people led folks to believe she was in Barbados. They have pictures too of a very depressed-looking Ri-ri in a swimsuit.

    Hmm. Who knows in this whole sordid saga?

    In some more almost totally unrelated news - except that they all from the Caribbean and specifically Barbados, Shontelle and Hal Linton seem to be making some moves in the music biz - at least as far as getting invited to the right parties goes! Everywhere you turn, they are being snapped at another event and why not? God knows we see that Teyana Taylor child all about the place and I still don't know her song. Anyhow, I digress - they were both mixing with music industry big wigs like Sylvia Rhone (Hal's label president) and Vibe Magazine editor Danyel Smith at the Vibe VSessions event the other night.

Fay-Annnnnnnnn!!!

    So I'm just going to go ahead and call this for Fay-Ann Lyons.

    They have not yet announced the results of the Bmobile International Power Soca Monarch contest and the Playwey (?) Groovy Soca Monarch contest but if Fay-Ann ent win de big one (power soca) then the judges did not see what the whole Caribbean did.

    Eight months pregnant, Fay-Ann mash up the place with her hit 'Meet Super Blue'. Half way through her performance, she brought on the man himself, her father Austin Lyons, aka Super Blue, eight time road march king. He didn't have to do a thing except be there - he didn't have to sing a note because the crowd was hers already.

    Then... Fay-Ann bring de dunner. She hold over and say 'ah feel a pain'. Call me foolish, I fell for it, especially when Super Blue put his arm around her shoulder. Hear me:

    "Oh shite, she gine have a Carnival baby fuh trute?"



    And then... this small, disembodied voice rang out as Fay-Ann pointed the mic at her belly and said:

    "Junior! Play meh!"

    The sound of the 'Baby Lyons-Alvarez' singing... flatten Hasely Crawford Stadium. Flatten, smash, annihilate!

    All five minutes after she left de stage, de crowd was still chanting 'Fay-Ann, Fay-Ann, Fay-Ann!'

    So yeah, we calling this one for SuperPreggy Fay-Ann Lyons.

Fay-Annnnnnnnn!!!

Carnival baby - performing while preggers

    As we all know by now, Fay-Ann Lyons-Alvarez, Trinidad's Road March queen, wife of Soca Monarch Bunji Garlin and half of soca's First Couple is nuff months pregnant.

    The news was announced back in November, when Fay-Ann started wearing ... well wearing clothes! Since  Fay-Ann's ridiculously flat belly has always been her best and most flaunted feature, when she started sporting a lot of cloth, eye-brows were raised.
    ]Newsday

    When I mentioned it to my other half and also mentioned that she would keep on performing during Carnival (the baby is due in April so she will be 7 months along at the height of Carnival), he grunted in disapproval.

    "Huh! That could never be you!" he said.

    His response reminded me of the reaction five years back when Soca queen Alison Hinds was also pregnant and kept on performing, right through to her ninth month. Many (like myself!) were admiring, but a lot of people also had a lot to say. Alison spoke to it in a SHE Caribbean interview some months after giving birth to her daughter Saharan.
    "The fact that I did that was amazing to people. If I wasn't feeling good, I wouldn't have done it. I had to remain active. I couldn't stay in the house and draw up."

    Which to me at least sums it up. If a pregnant woman is feeling good, why wrap her up in cotton balls? A little wukking up on stage (in reasonable shoes of course - some sexy gladiator sandals or cute sneakers or shoes with a wide platform heel) isn't going to make the baby drop out - it's held in place by a womb and that is a damn strong muscle! Getting them out is the real hard thing.

    What do you think islandistas? Should our soca queens keep performing even while they are becoming soca mummies? Are they setting an example of female empowerment and strength or are they taking it too far?

Jah Cure's alleged baby mother speaks...brace yourself!

    So rumours have been going around Jamdown for weeks now that a popular 20 year old party girl named Gordene is pregnant for Jah Cure. In an  interview published on one876 entertainment.com today she has come out and basically confirmed those rumours, saying that she is 4 months pregnant ... after meeting Cure 5 months ago.

    The interview... well it's like a car crash. It's horrific and you are pained for the person involved but you can't look away.

    Some excerpts:
    “I am not trying to disclose anything. They are trying to say I am effing proud to be pregnant and I am going around broadcasting it to everybody who will listen and that is not true. The only reason that I am even giving this interview is to make sure that his career is not harmed by any rumours. I would never hurt him.”

    Gordene has been spotted on the party circuit in recent weeks, fuelling speculation about her ‘little bump’.


    “I don’t drink or smoke, I still deserve to party,” the St. Andrew High school grad said. 

    Gordene earns money as a ‘party promotions girl’ working for Main Event, a party planning company. She is a student and is reading for an associate degree after which she will attempt to matriculate to a major university where she can get a bachelor’s degree in marketing. She has also dabbled in music, recording a couple of songs which were never released. She supports herself by working as a part-time ‘party promotions girl’ so that she can foot the bill for her uptown apartment.

    Does Jah Cure take good care of you?

    To be fair, he tries to be nice, but the pressures of everyone around him is hard because of my reputation as a party girl. And I have been with other artistes in the past before Cure. He is not 100 per cent sure he is the father, but there is a high possibility that he is the father; I have not been with anybody else since meeting him.”

    How many months have you been seeing him?

    “About five months, I will be pregnant for four months next week.”

    Four months?

    Yea, it was a fast one, I fell in love, we kicked off really well. I was very into him, but now I am more concerned with me and the baby. I still do love him. He is trying his very best to be supportive, but as an artiste, there is a harsher side because of the pressures of the people around him.”

    Jah Cure, for his part, has been very supportive, yet cautious. According to word from his camp, “although he is not sure that he is in fact the father, he remains very supportive of the young lady and is doing whatever he can to make her pregnancy and herself comfortable.”
        “However, once I am proven to be the father, my 100% support will be given financially and otherwise,” said a statement from the artiste.


    *blink*



    Mi SEH! 



    Ladies, take note. This is a lesson in how NOT to be an islandista. As fool as she sounds, the article mentioned that she was an Andrews girl. I have many Andrews islandistas as my good friends - it is a top notch school and they are usually smart and classy chicks.



    There is so much foolery that I cannot comprehend in this interview that I have to itemise it.



    First - why, considering that she said she is "not trying to disclose anything" would she then go and disclose everything?



    Second - why would you admit that you are not sure who is the baby father, after prefacing that with saying you have been with other artistes before Cure?



    Third - Why would you go bareback with a man you have only known for a month? A man who was in JAIL for 8 years? And you know what they say about jail ... eight years is a long time to be celibate, that's all we're saying.



    Fourth - Why when he is privately and publicly distancing himself from you, would you still go on bout you love him?



    I could go on and on now that the full has been told but I'll stop here. This just boggles the mind...mercy!

A likkle dancehall suss

    So hear this now... Beenie Man is set to be a grandfather - at the ripe 'ole' age of 35! 

    According to one876entertainment.com, his 16 year old daughter is about 6 months preggers and expecting a girl.

    No comment yet from Beenie's people but rumours have been flying around JA for days and an unnamed 'industry insider' confirmed it, telling one876:

    "She is not here, she is in Florida. The rumors were getting out of hand, Beenie Man is going through a lot right now, my heart goes out to him at this time because of all his other troubles. It’s tough for this to happen, but I guess it is also another life coming into the world."

    A so it go. Damn shame but it does happen. Apparently the girl's mother lives in Canada but she lives in JA. Hm. I have my own views about Jamaican women and their penchant for emigrating and leaving their children back a yaad but that is a whole other post.

    People have been susu-ing about who is the baby father. Some say it is a teenaged boy she was going out with a few months back, others say it is a fairly prominent DJ... awoaah! You know this isn't the last you will hear of this...

    Anyways, onward islandistas!

    Vybz Kartel is now a bachelor. 

    *silence*

    What, not appealing to you? Not me either, but it is news. I don't know how these dancehall DJs don't seem able to keep a wife. First Beenie and D'Angel didn't last longer than a sno-cone in hell and now Vybz and the woman he just married not two years ago done. Apparently she live 'a farrin' and stopped visiting him after his US visa was revoked. In two twos (well maybe more than two) she was pregnant and not for him. So that kind of done up them marriage.

    Passa passa in abundance...mi seh!
