Posted on April 6, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

Ice Spice has truly blown up…

A larger-than-life, inflatable of the 24-year-old half-Dominican American rapper was spotted on a flatbed truck traveling down the streets of New York City on Saturday (April 6).

The unexpected sight was promoting the rapper’s new collaboration with Alexander Wang.

Fans were quick to capture and upload videos and snapshots of the jumbo version of Ice Spice advertising a look replicated from the photo shoot for her “Nocturna” collection with the designer.

Those clips caught Ice Spice’s eye. She shared them with her followers and reacted with a few emojis: heart eyes, the Statue of Liberty and lips.

Ice Spice is the face of Alexander Wang’s spring ’24 collection (“Nocturna”) which debuted on March 7.

The collection is described as working in both the designer and rapper’s New York roots, taking inspiration from the culture of the city and their personal style.

Looks range from denim dresses to to chic tailored pants, with prices for the Ice Spice x Alexander Wang collection ranging from $150 to $1,495.

“As an artist, I’m always challenging myself on how I can contribute to culture in a way that drives things forward, and https://www.hispanicallyyours.com/ice-spice-serves-as-the-face-of-alexander-wangs-spring-24-collection/ is a great vehicle for that, with this incredibly bold and global campaign,” Ice Spice said in an official press statement.

Alexander Wang called Ice Spice the perfect artist to embody the “strong alpha wang woman.”

On the music side, Ice Spice recently shared that she’s done recording her debut full-length album, Y2K.

“I finished recording y2k the album ^.^,” she wrote to her X and Instagram accounts on March 5. The set’s title is inspired by her birthdate, Jan. 1, 2000.

“I think this is some of my best work,” she told Billboard, adding, “It’s not going to be too long — it’s going to be sweet and to the point.”

Lopez: Punchtastic in Latest Issue of V Magazine…

Posted on March 1, 2012 by Tom Castaneda

She’s proven to be a natural talent at capoeira… And, now Jennifer Lopez is throwing punches in style…

The 42-year-old Puerto Rican singer/actress—who was a blue-ribbon beauty on the red carpet at this year’s Academy Awards—morphed into a tough, high-fashion boxer for the cover and a special feature in the March issue of V magazine.

The American Idol judge—wearing designs by Emporio Armani, Alexander Wang and Calvin Klein, all while revealing her trademark six-pack abs and a little underboob—was photographed by Mario Testino, who shot Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s engagement portraits.

Lopez even donned men’s groin protectors because she “thought it was more graphic.”

J.Lo, who learned to box for her role in Money Train and later mastered Krav Maga for the thriller Enough, insists she’s always been a fighter.

“I’ve always felt like a tough girl from the Bronx, but I have a soft core,” Lopez tells V magazine. “I can take a lot of punches and still keep going. I’ve been trained like a boxer to go 15 rounds.”
