Dodges security at LEGO HQ 

He has outsmarted fans for years by keeping his identity under wraps but can the Stig evade capture when he infiltrates the LEGO Headquarters in Billund, Denmark, at night?

A new video released today shows the lengths that the Stig goes to so he can get his hands on the LEGO® Technic™ App Controlled Top Gear Rally Car and escape without being unmasked.

Footage captured shows the mystery racing driver teasing security as he designs and builds his own LEGO® Technic™ App Controlled Top Gear Rally Car in the home of the LEGO Group in Denmark – before exiting at speed in a Porsche 911 GT3 RS towards the Top Gear test track.

“The LEGO® Technic™ App Controlled Top Gear Rally Car was designed to be the perfect car for the Stig, but it’s only an eighth of the size of cars he is used to driving. Let’s see if his talent on the test track translates to awesome manoeuvres when controlling the car using the LEGO® Technic™ CONTROL+ App.” said LEGO Technic designer Samuel Tacchi.

Slide behind the wheel and take control of this cool LEGO® Technic™ App Controlled Top Gear Rally Car. Built from 463 pieces and controlled using the LEGO® Technic™ CONTROL+ app, you’ll discover a host of neat functions, including realistic sounds and real-time feedback. Take on challenges, earn achievements and access inspirational Top Gear content.

Pongo x “Uwa” Video

Angolan-Portuguese singer/rapper’s new EP ‘Uwa’ (out now on Caroline Intl) – arrives just ahead of her headline shows booked for next month.

UK HEADLINE TOUR INCL. LONDON EartH – APRIL 18, 2020

Angolan-Portuguese artist Pongo today releases the new video for her latest, 6Music play-listed single ‘Uwa’, the title track from her widely-praised new EP, out now via Caroline International. The new video – directed by French photographer Lou Escobar – arrives on the eve of Pongo’s appearance at this year’s 6Music Festival, where she will perform at London’s Dingwalls alongside Holy F and Ghum on March 5, 2020. The festival appearance will precede a second run of UK headline shows from Pongo, including her largest London gig to date, at EartH Hackney on April 18, 2020.

Escobar’s directorial debut, the vibrant, choreography-led video for ‘Uwa’ was filmed on location in Dakar. Poignantly for Pongo, the shoot marked the first time she’d returned to Africa since fleeing Anogla with her family as a child, to escape the country’s civil war. ‘Uwa’ itself takes its name from a word in Angola’s traditional language of Kimbundo meaning ‘step’. Used in the games of dodgeball played by children in the streets of Pongo’s Angolan hometown of Luanda, on ‘Uwa’ Pongo interpolates this nostalgia with the pulsating rhythms of the Kuduro genre to infectious effect.

The ‘Uwa’ EP – also featuring 6Music & 1Xtra-supported single ‘Quem Manda No Mic’ – follows Pongo’s debut EP ‘Baia’, which has been streamed over 6 million times and counting, also spawning remixes from 20syl and Anoraak (the latter issued via Kitsuné). It’s the latest chapter in an again-the-odds trajectory that has seen Lisbon-based Pongo struggle with various personal upheavals. Settling with her family – aged just 8 – in Portugal in a city just north of Lisbon with a very small African-immigrant population, she experienced prolonged racist abuse whilst completing her schooling in the area. Already seeking solace from a disturbing present tense by retreating into the music, dance & slang words of her former life in Luanda, Pongo’s route to becoming one of Kuduro’s fastest-rising young stars was completed when she encountered the Denon Squad, a group of boys practicing kuduro dance on the streets of one of Lisbon’s largest African communities. Soon rapping over their routines – in defiance of her father, himself a kuduro dancer back in Angola – a tape of Pongo’s recordings made its way into the hands of Lisbon-based club night turned kuduro collective Buraka Som Sistema. Aged just 15, Pongo (taking her artist name in tribute to feminist Congolese singer, M’Pongo Love) then went on to make her debut on their ‘Black Diamond’ album, alongside the likes of M.I.A. and Kano.

Secret revealed: buying the best women’s t-shirts

Leave a reply

Summer is just around the corner now and most of us are seeking for simple, comfortable attire for the season. So, be sure to check out Marcelo Burlon.

Also, if you’re looking for an online destination to purchase hoodies or sweatshirts, then Marcelo Burlon is the perfect brand for that. In addition, You can buy shoes, bags, clothing and other accessories from this website as well.

However, there are some essentials you must keep in mind before buying women’s shirts.

Choose the t-shirt for your body type

Whenever you are buying a t-shirt, then go for the one that complements your body type. You have two options. You can go for the light colors or dark colors. However, what you need to keep in mind is that light colors tend to highlight flaws, while dark colors help to hide them.

If you want to play it safe, then there is a little trick that you can try. You can choose a subtle toned t-shirt and go for a bright colored accessory to go with your t-shirt. The mistake most people make is that they just go with the trends without realizing whether the chosen t-shirt complements their body type or not.

For example, slim-cut shirts may seem like an enticing option. However, hold the shirt in front of the mirror and see how it goes with your body type. If you follow this simple trick, you will not end up wasting money.

Going for the classic look

There are some rules of the thumb that you must follow when buying your t-shirt. The shoulder seams should never hang below the shoulder. It is vital that the sleeves of the t-shirt must end between the upper third of the arm.

Choosing the best fabric for your T-shirt

Pay close attention to the fabric of the t-shirt. Jersey fabric is thin and is not as durable. Ideally, choose 100% cotton fabric when you want to buy summer wardrobe pieces.

Cotton is prone to some shrinkage. If you go for cheap fabric for your t-shirt, then it possibly unravel after one wash. The knitting must be relaxed. It should not be overstretched and must be round in shape.

The neck band should not be twisted. It needs to be smooth. It’s vital to carefully read the label and follow the instructions.

Be sure to follow the aforementioned tips to prolong the life of your t-shirt.

“‘Today and Tomorrow’ was inspired while I was filming the movie. I wanted to capture the essence of being Stargirl and how it felt to play her,” Grace says of the song. “My producer, Ido, and I wanted to keep it as raw and natural as possible to let people hear the magic in the studio when the song was written.”

Grace will take the stage to perform “Today and Tomorrow” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 11th.

ABOUT “STARGIRL”

“Stargirl” from Disney+ is a tender and offbeat coming-of-age story based on the critically-acclaimed, New York Times’ best-selling young adult novel about an unassuming high schooler who finds himself inexplicably drawn to the free-spirited new girl, whose unconventional ways change how they see themselves…and their world. Leo Borlock (Graham Verchere) is an average student at Mica High School. He gets decent grades, is a member of the school’s marching band and has always been content flying under the radar. But all that changes when he meets Stargirl Caraway (Grace VanderWaal), a confident and colorful new student with a penchant for the ukulele, who stands out in a crowd. She is kind, finds magic in the mundane and touches the lives of others with the simplest of gestures. Her eccentricities and infectious personality charm Leo and the student body, and she quickly goes from being ignored and ridiculed to accepted and praised, then back again, sending Leo on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. A celebration of individuality, kindness and the power of the human spirit, “Stargirl” is directed by Julia Hart from a screenplay by Kristin Hahn and Julia Hart & Jordan Horowitz based on a novel by Jerry Spinelli. The film stars singer/songwriter Grace VanderWaal in her film debut, Graham Verchere, Karan Brar, Maximiliano Hernandez, Darby Stanchfield and Giancarlo Esposito. “Stargirl” is produced by Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, p.g.a., Lee Stollman, p.g.a., and Kristin Hahn, p.g.a., with Jordan Horowitz, Jim Powers, Jerry Spinelli, Eddie Gamarra, Catherine Hardwicke and Jonathan Levin as executive producers.
