GAL APPROVED Weekend: Music, Sandcastles & Duran Duran!

By DIVAGALS | June 22, 2012 | Entertainment, Gal Approved

CHEW. The DivaGals love eighties music. So we were filled with glee at the Trident ΓÇ£See What Unfolds LiveΓÇ¥ concert with DJ Steve Aoki and surprise guest Duran Duran at Terminal 5 in New York City. Simon Le Bon, Roger Taylor, Nick Rhodes and John Taylor — who celebrated his 52nd birthday at the June 20 showcase — rocked the house down last night with the electronic dance music master, who has collaborated with them on his new album. After performing a “Hungry Like The Wolf” remix, the boys did their own set playing new music and classic hits like “Wild Boys.” Roger mingled with fans in the VIP section where Solange Knowles, Glee‘s Mark Salling and a bevy of Bachelor reality stars also hung out. TV DivaGal snapped a photo with Nick, while Luxe Gal took one with Roger. Yep, just like Trident, Duran Duran is a taste to be enjoyed at every age!

GROOVE. We peeped these hot speakers a few days ago in New York City from from the House of Marley USA. Bag Of Rhythm Portable Audio System plugs in nicely to your iPod or iPad. When docked, it not only plays your music but charge up your devices, and is also compatible with your MP3. We love the earth tone and retro feel of a “boom box” for home, the backyard barbecue or a beach party. Retails from $300 to $349.

PLAY. Who says you can’t live large? Create the castle/mansion of your dreams with Can You Dig it Sand Tools, and have some fun in the sandbox. The kit includes tools, a bucket and an instructional DVD. The video show you how to make not only sand castles but sand sculptures. This is great for hours of fun for the kids as you sit back and enjoy the waves.

SOOTHE. After suffering through the meanest cold Luxe Gal has had in years, I just remembered the best protection against a cold is prevention. Cold-Eeze is clinically proven to reduce the duration of the common cold! Be warned sneezers: I am packing Purell hand sanitizer, tissues and passing out Cold-Eeze to anyone who may be thinking of passing on a summer cold to me or another innocent victim! Available in drug stores nationwide.
