Hello Again, KYLIE BUBBLE!
It‘s time for new KYLIE TIMEEEES! First of all, let me say how owerhelmed we are with your reactions!!! We have been receiving the nicest messages during the whole month, and we couldn‘t be any happier about you loving it. Trust me - it‘s true, proved by the amount of hours I barely slept for this! I honestly thought there was like 50 to 100 of you who knew about us, followed us somewhere and were simply enjoying the whole Kylie World thing. Imagine my face when Laeti told me that over 1,2k people had downloaded the issue #1 within 24 hours! We hope the magic will stay up even in times like now - when we don‘t have any funny tour experiences to talk about, or any fab projects summaries etc... We are going to have to wait until december for those, but we hope we can entertain you until then! We have tried to develop ourselves a little since the last month, and the magazine is now separated into specific parts - Step back in time calendar with one throwback, „Life“ section where we write just about what is currently up, Get Minspired, Suffer for fashion, News, We love - that‘s also kind of a throwback, or simply a focus on some of Kylie‘s projects we can‘t help but love, then we have Top 10 moments, Discover - a Kylie travel guide, and a social media section with the best what we found you talking about online. I am in charge of the english version, and Laeti translates everything to french (I hope you native speakers are all fine with the language since I am not one of you). Also, you can find our names at each page - they say whom it‘s written by, eventhough we do help each other loads. All corrections are done by Laeti, I am here for the design. That‘s it from me, enjoy issue #2! :)

throwback: IMPOSSIBLE PRINCESS
„Kylie Minogue“ released in 94 might have delivered an enormous musical change from the PWL times and the 90s Kylie might have got the sticker “Indie Kylie,” but it was just the beginning… Until Impossible princess came out. The album was released on the 22nd of October 1997 after 2 years of recording and a half year delay. It’s the 6th studio album, 2nd one released under music label Deconstruction. And it’s probably the weirdest music project we are ever gonna get from Kylie. It was the first and only album not just fully controlled, but also written by Kylie herself. For the premier time we could see her own self-reflection in the songs. She sings about her insecurities, fears, relationships… No I should be so lucky anymore. The whole process was handled by her, and she herself had the last word. The title was inspired by a book called Poems to Break the Harts of Impossible Princesses by Billy Childish. Nick Cave gave it to her and first time she saw the title, it had her wrapped all around it (HELLO, A FANEn, october 2k15
GIRL IN ME IS CALLING. We would LOVE to read those, wouldn’t we? I myself have never had my hands on the book, and I failed finding it anywhere online. Do you have them? If so, don’t hesitate to share with us!) Kylie was dating a french photographer Stéphane Sednaoui back then, and it was also him who took the cover picture - Kylie sitting in a multi-coloured cut cone. I believe the photoshoot was one of the most tiring ones since they had to use multiple static cameras to get the 3D effect, and it took just forever but Kylie said, „we knew that once we got it right it would be amazing.” And it was. All of this sounds fab,though the album seemed to be followed by bad luck since the
6 www.kylie-world.com
very beginning. Some kind of bliss, the 1st single, held the position of least successful single of Kylie for long times, and the sales of the whole album were equally poor. It was not only the numbers that had it all wrong the tragic death of Princess Diana had happened just a month before the release, and obvious-
ly no negative emotions wanted to be evoked in people. So they changed the title for UK, the album was called “Kylie Minogue” there. Yes, just like the previous one. Kylie left Deconstruction after all, even before going on the promo tour, Intimate and Live. It was Baker and Anderson who managed the bookings and organisation. They chose to pick small theatres to make the atmosphere as personal as possible, and usual filling was about 2k people. Many fans even in the fanbase dislike those times. I personally love IP era. The “weird Kylie” in general is my thing. Indie Kylie, Holy Motors, Hey Diddle dee… all those not typical disco sparkly moves in her career. To be honest, I wouldn’t be a fan if Kylie didn’t have those. I mean, what made me fall in love with her was something else, but this breathes oxygen into the whole bubble and makes it complete to me. If someone ever moaned about Kylie being just a hitmaker, singing catchy pop songs, I’d place him in a dark room with headphones, Impossible princess playing, and no wifi. She is not singing happy-kind-of music because she can’t do anything else, but because she EARNED TO. The only thing which makes me really sad is that I will never experience the album myself. The first time I ever
heard of it was when I googled Kylie. I red about Indie Kylie times in the career section on her wikipedia page, even be fore I got to play the songs. This album is too precious for that. It needs to be experienced. As I said, lock yourself in a dark room with thoughts off and headphones on...
„Caught up in this house Trapped my very own self in the snare of my mind No more space than a slither What I‘d give for deep breath inside Where the chaos has me captive Where there‘s no exit sign Where I fuel the stupid fire with these feelings of mine “
En, october 2k15
How Kylie herself explained the songs? TOO FAR I wrote „Too Far“ very quickly and in a very bad state! It comes from where it sounds like it comes from, I think. The first lines are ‚caught up in this house, trapped my very own self in the snare of my mind‘ which is exactly the way that I felt. I had to leave my house, there was too much in my head and in my house, and so I walked down the street to the café that I go to a lot, I just started writing. I think I was angry and I was hurt, all these really nasty emotions, that I just had to escape, I needed some air. I think as I was writing it I imagined performing it that way; the verses are the way that I felt, quite claustraphobic, couldn‘t find a way out, and then in the choruses is probably what I wanted to let out more, ‚help me, this time I‘ve gone too far‘. So that was a nice form of release, and it doesn‘t really sound like anything I‘ve ever done before.
SOME KIND OF BLISS „Some Kind Of Bliss“ was written by James Dean Bradfield and myself. He had a couple of pages of lyrics of mine and he took half of the song from one set and the other half from another set and put them together, which I found interesting because it‘s something that I wouldn‘t have done. In my mind they were two separate things, but they actually do work together. To me, it‘s about being able to not necessarily shut your eyes and feel that someone‘s there, but the way that if you‘re close to someone whether it‘s your lover or your best friend or your family or whoever, the ability to feel like they‘re with you when they‘re actually millions of miles away. It‘s very reassuring and it happened to me at one point and I found myself smiling to myself, one of those very cheesy things that I could see in a movie and think ‚oh God, please, stop it‘ but those things happen and they‘re reassuring.

DID IT AGAIN „Did It Again“ is basically, I‘m telling myself off in this song. Whereas some of the songs are from my heart or my gut or from my head, this one I really feel like it‘s a little voice on my shoulder, and even when I recorded the song I think I was snarling at myself, just thinking ‚you fool! You just had to go and you‘ve done it again!‘ I think a lot of people you say it to yourself time and time again, ‚you did it again, why haven‘t you learnt yet to not do the things you do!‘ The few people I‘ve spoken to about that song understood it as me talking to myself which I was glad about because I thought it might sound like I‘m telling someone else off, but actually I‘m telling myself off.
DRUNK
COWBOY STYLE That I wrote early on in the making of the album and it‘s basically about meeting my boyfriend, and the way that when you start a fresh relationship with someone they can bring out so many different emotions in you, and make you question yourself a bit more. When I met my boyfriend he had a very unusual look to say the least, so he made me think of a lot of different things, kind of like the cowboy coming into town, a bit like a monk, a bit like this cyber-creature. So, that‘s basically about him coming into my life.
I DON‘T NEED ANYONE
„Drunk“ has nothing to do with being drunk! But the feeling of almost being angry and having so much feeling for someone, the feeling of not being satisfied until you take all. Don‘t just take some of me, there‘s so much that‘s screaming to come out and be involved with you and to be passionate or be mad or be happy, you know every possible emotion that you could have with someone, that kind of desperate feeling of wanting to explore all that. I‘m saying „I‘m not happy drunk till I‘m drunken, till you take all of me.“
„Don‘t Need Anyone,“ that‘s another song written with James Dean Bradfield. That one I find a bit more difficult to explain. Mainly that makes me think of driving in a car with the top down, which has nothing to do with the lyrics! Maybe that song, that‘s what it is to me because again James had taken different lyrics that I‘d written and pieced them together with other ones, that it isn‘t a story in its entirety to me or it‘s not based on one emotion like a lot of the other songs are. It‘s a break, it is driving with the top down, because it‘s not something that I was compelled to put every word down. I like the sentiment anyway, I don‘t need anyone except for someone that I‘ve not found, it‘s knowing that there‘s someone there but at the same time you DREAMS can do perfectly well on your own. Which is something I truly believe in and with BREATHE „Dreams“ is based relationships it‘s wonderful to be with soon Impossible Princess (the meone, but you don‘t need to be with so I wrote „Breathe“ in Jabook). They are the dreams meone. People are there at different times pan. I think at that time I felt very of an Impossible Princess, in your life when you both need each other. still, and restrained and quiet, but they‘re wanting to have eveactually there‘s a lot going on and rything, wanting to have the that‘s typical of me. A lot of peopimpossible but none-the-less le if they‘re upset or angry or any wanting it all. Not wanting of those things, will bring it out, it to be greedy, but just wanbut me I keep it quiet. My girlfting to experience everything. riend says to me ‚you don‘t realise how loud you are when you‘re SAY HEY silent, the thunderclouds can just roll over‘. I think it was a point „Say Hey“ is a late night or like that where I keep saying ‚I‘m early morning track. I was in the bath thinking, thinking about it all‘ and and was thinking about calling my boyfthat‘s just typical. „What‘s wrong?“ riend, not necessarily to speak with him, I‘m thinking, I‘m deciding what‘s but just to leave a message, just to feel like wrong because I‘m not clear about I‘ve had some contact. Actually I don‘t it in my head. And so by saying think I wanted to speak to him, but just to ‚breath, it won‘t be long now‘, feel like there was some communication. just trying to stay calm until I reIt‘s slightly dreamy, as I say, late night. ason what‘s going on in my head.
LIMBO I wrote „Limbo“ in Spain, gosh I‘ve almost been round the world already! I wrote that in Spain, but it was actually about a time where I couldn‘t see the person I wanted to see because of beurocracy and I basically couldn‘t leave the country. And I felt so trapped, I‘ve just felt like I was in limbo, there was no other way to describe it. I say ‚I see them all smiling those all around to me, they tend to my wounds‘ everyone was saying ‚don‘t worry it‘ll be okay, just a couple of days‘. And I was like, „I can‘t wait a couple of days! Yes, yes, you‘re all being very helpful, but it doesn‘t make any difference to me at this point in time, I‘m completely trapped!“ Actually I used these lyrics in a different form in another song, which was a very pretty polite song, and so I just didn‘t feel they were right that way. When it came time to write ‚Limbo‘ I was with Dave Ball and Ingo Bauk and they just had some groove going, that again I‘m flipping through the pages of my notes, and the lyrics to this song found their home. We actually used the demo vocals because it was just one of those moments, I was saying ‚are you ready? Are you ready? Quick! I need to record it now!‘ So I‘m very pleased that that found its place. En, october 2k15
THROUGH THE YEARS „Through The Years“ was another subconscious moment, I wrote everything at the end and asked myself why I‘d kinda written that. To me, it‘s self-explanatory, it‘s about a time with someone and my feelings about it at the moment. It‘s, yes it‘s slightly bitter, but I don‘t think it‘s nasty. Like from being heartbroken you go through so many different phases of emotions, and this is a story from years ago that you think has completely been wiped away. But I was speaking with a couple of friends and this ex-boyfriend‘s name came up in conversation and a particular story about him that at the time I just brushed away and thought, hmm, oh well. Three days later I find myself churning out lyrics for a reason that wasn‘t apparent to me at the time but of course then looking at the lyrics as a whole it made complete sense and I thought oh my god. I found it so interesting that all of this just came out, and the way that I‘m singing it I hope people can relate to it anyway, especially the girls. 10 www.kylie-world.com
JUMP „Jump“ I wrote with Rob Dougan, and. I think I‘m just trying to, I‘m saying whatever I feel like, let me be that way. I mean, that‘s a personal story, but even in a more general sense, if you‘re cranky one day or you‘re in a business situation you try not to let these things interfere. Or if you‘re overwhelmingly happy, it can apply to all different scenarios. But here I‘m just saying if I‘m sad if I‘m happy if I‘m dirty if I‘m whatever, just accept me that way. It‘s a lesson to myself to try to let myself do that because I‘m like the worst one of putting constraints on myself. I know thatsociety does and business does and other people do, but we put it on ourselves too. By saying ‚run to the future and jump‘, I say ‚I‘m eager and ready it only hurts sometimes‘, I feel like I really have a lot of enthusiasm to go forward but it‘s like jumping off a cliff, you have to let go, I have to let myself be whoever I feel at that point in time. Because it is scary jumping off a cliff! You might land fantastically and you might never touch the ground, you just don‘t know. So aside from saying be whoever I feel, don‘t be afraid of the future because it will come anyway.
...those are the dreams of an impossible princess.
LIFE
ALONE AGAIN!
aka WHEN KYLIE DOESN‘T TWEET!!!!!!!!!! A nightmare... Your alarm clock rings and while turning it off and mentally preparing yourself for getting up, you check the notifications. Nothing. Off to shower you go, you make breakfast, a cuppa...and check your phone. Time to dress up, grab your handbag, the keys... before leaving the house, you check again. Still nothing. Headphones on, a morning playlist to entertain you on the way to work and the only messages interrupts the songs you‘re listening to are the ones from your boss. So you just walk and walk and scroll down the wall full of info you absolutely don‘t care about...sometimes it happens that a person walking the opposite direction bumps into you...
When you finally come to work, you check again... nothing. Nope, we are not talking about our social media addiction (though we would have loads to say - i even named my phone... It‘s an iPhrodite, a golden girl). What we want to discous is KYLIE‘S RECENT ONLINE ABSENCE. She might be working, or the complete opposite enjoying a well deserved break. Or whatever... and it‘s all cool. But then you open insta W e and there‘s no spent a lot of new selfie and time doing studies on what a lack you‘re all like of a Kylie Minogue causes on an average human WHY IS LIFE being. The conclusion we made is, for everyone‘s good, she should just tweet all the time, follow us all, SO TOUGH? invite for a cuppa... adopt us. Right???????????????!!! WHYYYYY?
But you‘re more than j ust a memor y T he things that you do to me If only you knew I‘ve tried h ard, had to be strong Now I don ‘t know if I can go on T here‘s no world with out you

- KYLIE TWEETS -
GET MINSPIRED! It’s funny. I’ve already mentioned how excited I was for the Impossible princess review, and absolutely the same applies for this articlel. But I never realised how perfectly those two go together.
Immortality is a 90s novel written in France. As we know from an interview for Guardian in 2014, it is Kylie’s favourite book. The autor himself translated it to both english and french, so it is a rather perfect topic for us! Milan Kundera, the author, is one of the most important and talented writers who emerged from the the old Communist regime in Eastern Europe. He was born in the Czechoslovakia (now just Czech republic - my home country!), which was ruled and highly influenced by so called „Communist Party”. Thousands of habitants faced political persecution for various offences. Kundera was one of those who emigrated. France become his new home and he was later stripped off the czech nationality. His books are attempts to discover meanings of the existential problems of all of us, human beings. They are not political tracts, yet most of them are set into the atmosphere of 14 www.kylie-world.com
the Czech republic back then. Immortality is one of those “mostly french” ones though. The main story line is represented by Agnes, a french middle-aged woman who lives in quite a harmonic marriage with a lawyer Paul, yet she’s far from being content or more, happy. Her only wish is not to get noticed or remembered by this world, which she sees all permitted by imago-logy, and which disgusts her. Imago-logy, as a word made up by Kundera and first used in this book, covers all the designers, advertising agencies, hairdressers, celebrities dictating the norm of physical beauty which the human rase happily accepts and follows. It points out how blinded and shallow we all can be, and
En, october 2k15
how easy it sometimes gets to forget the real values in life - if we still have some. Agnes fears this world with an image of her printed into the history in some form, without her even knowing it. Such as the metaphor she uses herself: famous people - they get photographed and their pictures are published in press despite themselves having no idea, and no rights. They just live on, they can’t be erased from time. Nothing can be done. Agnes’ little sister Laura is a complete opposite - all she subconsciously desires is to become immortal in the eyes of their family. She doesn’t hesitate to use methods such as suicide threats to achieve her goal.
“Living, there is no happiness in that. Living: carrying one’s painful self through the world. But being, being is happiness. Being: Becoming a fountain, a fountain on which the universe falls like warm rain.” ― Milan Kundera
So does Betina, a main character from the second storyline she’s a lover of the well known poet, prosaic and politician, Goethe. A rather crazy situation happens when Kundera brings Hemingway to the pages of this written masterpiece and them two meet for an after-death life talk. The 3rd line is based on an unsuccessful painter Rubens, who gets to meet Agnes and even though they know very little about themselves, his life gets forever changed and influenced by
her which fulfils all Agnes’ fears in a way. I will reveal no more from the story, well I would really overrate my writing abilities if I even said I would be able to do that. I don’t think any words could describe the whole plot in short. It is a book quite complicated to read, and it’s certainly not to entertain you in a tram on your way to work. It will leave your head a mess and you will either love it, hate it or get confused and possibly change the way
you think. I absolutely love it, it immediately became my favourite, but I can imagine Kylie liking it and relating to it million times more than I did. To be absolutely honest, I did purchase it with the thought of Kylie liking it so “i should be the same.” That sounds a bit stupid, even though reading the same books like your idol seems still better than wearing the same jumper or buying the same perfume (not that I wouldn’t do that as well). But I was blown away. Just like the existence of Impossible princess, the fact that Kylie likes this novel makes me feel like she is not just... the “image.” PS: Kundera himself made sure that french, czech and english versions would be equally good, so just pick any language you’re comfortable with and enjoy! Oh and… Don’t forget to let me know your thoughts!!! :) #GetMinspired

Kylie Christmas & Minogue new year!
Ok, we are EXTREMELY early but so what. When Kylie confirmed her Christmas album and the Royal Albert Hall performance earlier this month, she also shared a short promo video. This terrible quality picture was in for less than 0,5 second, but some skilful fan still managed to screenshot it (thank you, random stranger!). And we all want the t-shirts now. Let‘s face it, we will all end up using them as x-mas themed pyjamas at some point, but a Minogue pyjama is a billion times better pyjama than the one we all get from our grandmas each year. I just couldn‘t wait until december. Here are the prints! You can either paint it on your tee using fabric colors or get it printed. In that case, check our fb page for a better quality ones!

WHAT HAPPENED
A Kylie in Vienna
PREVIOUS MONTH
(the) Kylie in Paris
Kylie seems ro be taking a bit more time for herself since the end of the Kylie Summer. This is also why we will not have many news for you this month (sad, yeah, we know, we are thinking about sending you some glitter by email to cheer you up). However, Kylie joined the dinner auction of the Imagine Institute in Paris, on the 12th of October. The institute is a research and treatment center that aims to find diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for patients - children or adults with genetic disorders. As we know, Kylie CARES. She gives her time and often participates in various cha-
rity dinners. Many funds were collected during the dinner, and an audience of international artists including Kylie was expected, as well-known actors, singers or French TV hosts.

NEWS KIDS II?
ROBBIE WANTS ANOTHER COLLAB! The statement went around the world: Robbie Williams wants to collaborate with Kylie again, 15 years after their duet on Kids. During a press conference in Australia, the British singer said he wanted to return to the studio with Kylie. He had written a song for his upcoming album, and he wants Kylie to join again.
„The Kylie duet might not come off and that would be very embarrassing now that I‘ve said too much already. Maybe I used up that token of the duet thing. I‘ve got this great tune that‘s incredibly camp and I would love her to sing on it with me. Maybe she will, maybe she won‘t, watch this space!“
NEWS
Those two have already collaborated. Kids, their duet, was released 15 years ago for albums „Sing When You‘re Winning” (Robbie) and « Light Years » (Kylie). It reached the second place in the UK charts, and became an ultimate legend in the Kylie bubble…right? You know those balls and chains that prisoners used to get back in times so they wouldn’t run away?? That is Kids. WE CAN NEVER GET RID OF IT. LIKE EVER. It’s the song you can always count on to sneak into Kylie’s setlist somehow. Since 2001, it was included in 7 (!!!!!) tours. When we met Lucy and Roxy before the first show of #KylieSummer and we asked about the setlist, one of our question was: “Do you sing Kids?” When they said yes, we turned eyes up and started laughing. Later I tweeted “guess what song is in the setlist AGAIN.” 110% of the answers was “Kids.” It is literally giving a bad light to Can’t get you, which IS sung more often, but who cares. It’s an inside joke of the fanbase. I talk as if I didn’t like it… That’s not true though. I love it. But I hate it, too. We all do… Each time it comes on shuffle in my iTunes, I can’t help but think about it live. If a
day when Kylie doesn’t perform it on a tour, I’ll be sad. If she includes it forever, we will all forever laugh. As the song has a story, the video can’t stay behind… One of the last scenes is Robbie chilling in the pool, and naked Kylie jumping in. What happened during the filming? Robbie told us in his biography book released in 2010. He admitted he had had a crush on Kylie since 80s and her presence in Neighbours (who didn’t…). He was nervous about the filming and got a bit drunk on the set. When Kylie stripped off, he became „a bit of a teenage boy” and started laughing. „‘I just burst out laughing. Which I don‘t think went down well with Kylie. I may have offended her too, because she must have felt vulnerable too, being naked on set, and being naked in front of me.‘‘ He added: ‚‘I think that any chance of anything disappeared when I laughed at her. Perhaps she likes being naked, but she probably doesn‘t enjoy being laughed at by some Stokie idiot.’‘ He also said he was so nervous about bringing this incident up since then, and never apologized. His way of saying sorry was revealing the story in the book, and we only hope it has worked with our pop fairy so we can get this new duet in near future. It’s never too late, right?

X-MAS CONFIRMED
We were talking about it in the first issue of The Kylie Times, and the rumor was on the internet since mid-July: the Christmas album has finally been confirmed! Announced by Kylie herself on social networks on October 2nd, the album entitled „Kylie Christmas“ will be officially released on November 13th, but you can already pre-order it on all the legal download sites, and also on kylie.com. As always, Kylie has prepared different versions for her fans. A classic version with 13 tracks, a deluxe version with 16 tracks and a DVD which includes some bonus and videos of studio recording of 7 tracks including the duet with Dannii Minogue (hell yeah) + everything packed in a Kylie gift wrap. And as she never does things halfway, Kylie also thought about collectors - she‘s offering a vinyl version with wrapping paper. The album includes covers of traditional Christmas songs such as „2,000 Miles“ from The Pretender, „If Every Day Was Like Christmas“ by Elvis Presley and „Oh Santa! „, a song performed by Mariah Carey and published five years ago on her Christmas album. Several duets are also on the record, alongside Iggy Pop („Christmas Wrapping“), James Corden, (who is a comedian, actor and TV presenter) for the song „Only You“ or her sister Dannii Minogue on „100 Degrees“ . Recorded at Angel Studios and Sarm Music Village, this mix of classics and originals songs with unexpected duets should attract a rather large audience, and the album, although it is only on pre-order for the moment, is already well ranked in the UK charts. And as a good news never comes alone, the singer announced a a performance on December 11th at the Royal Albert Hall in London for the first time in her career. We can look forward to an expectional show, which should probably be broadcast on the British television. To promote this album, Kylie will probably appearing in various TV shows, with live performances we hope! YOUR SANTA NEEDS YOU! 20 www.kylie-world.com

SELLING SOUL FOR A TICKET!
AKA ROYAL ALBERT HALL SHOW COMING SOON When Kylie tweeted that she would reveal a surprise the following morning, we all knew it was the Christmas album she was talking about. We actually knew about it since the beginning of summer, we even got the duet with Dannii assumptions right. What took our breath away was an announcement of a live show, and not just somewhere - in t he Royal Albert Hall. None of us thought it would be such a drama...
Somewhen in the morning:
The Royal Hall and Parlophone put the news online
8am
Kylie tweets about it with a link saying that a sale would start at noon
8am - 9am
Laeti calls me to wake me up, we attempt to organise ourselves, decide who buys the ticket for us and who gets one for another friend, Laeti leaves for work
9am - 10am
7th heaven. I text to every one of my lover - friends saying how happy I am we get to spend Christmas time in London together, some of them are skipping college or calling sick to work because what else to do…we weren’t even warned in advance so yeah, no choice
10am - 11am
What if there’s no standing? What if the prices are too expensive? What if the website crashes and we won’t get tickets? What if we don’t get any front tickets? We know NOTHING. EXTREME - PRESALES NERVES. En, october 2k15
NEWS 11am
The Royal Hall tweets the prices and says there really isn’t any standing section. F - word. No chance to attend the show with other lovers now - none of us has the money to pay for like 5 tickets and buying seats next to each other separately is just impossible. So we split into pairs… If we at least knew in advance…
The following day
Albert Royal Hall’s notifications are full of anger, they tweet this:
11:50am
I am being told that I should be in the queue already. What? Which queue? Whaaaaat?
11:55am
Great. This is my first time ever booking through this webpage, so I obviously had no idea that I could get to the Kylie tickets queue through any other sale. I didn’t even know there would be a queue. Laeti calls me and we are both nearly crying. No front row. I get number 1k something and Laeti’s webpage just crushes
12 - 1:30pm
*cries in the corner of her room*
1:30pm
A hour and a half later and I am finally booking tickets and still crying in the corner of my room, just like I’ll be crying in the corner of the arena soon as any other tix are sold out
The rest of the day
*thanking the goddess Aphrodite that I got those rubbish tickets, because more than a half of lovers I know ended up ticketless*
Evening
All second hand tickets websites are full of tickets for prices from 500 pounds to thousands. I google “how to murder a human.” En, october 2k15
Excuse me but….JHGHTFJ”””(“” ”L/0%096875465?????!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aghrrr. So.. as you can see, it is against the rules to re-sell the tickets, but it’s not against the law. Most of the websites pay the sellers AFTER the event, which means they have no reason to sell fake tickets, so let’s say it’s trustworthy. The hall might be saying you risk not being allowed in, but when the tickets are real, why would you be? All of this means that the only option lovers have is not to listen, buy tickets from those cruel bastards who buy them just to sell, for INSANE prices, or stay at home.
Kylie, if you’re reading this, we all beg you - please make a fan club already so we could have fan-presales and the Kylie bubble would live happily ever after :(
VIAGOGO RIGHT NOW!!!!

He was born on December 9th, 1987 in Westminster. If you dig a little bit more in his career, you will realize that Joshua is an actor of TV series that we all know now: Galavant. He posted a photo on his instagram about 2 weeks before the pictures with Kylie.
Indeed, the charming gentleman is one of the principals actors of the series, in which Kylie will make an appearance in January for the Season 2. They probably met each other on the set of the series. As we found him quite nice, we started to check out a few pictures of him on his instagram account (joshuasasse). We found lots of too cute pictures, with a dog named Fred (as beautiful as his owner), landscape pictures, books, travels and pictures with his beard. Sounds cool. If you Google him in pictures -you can find even ones that go...well... into the detail - anyway it will only confirm you your first though - he really is too handsome! En showed one picture to her gay flatmate and he asked „Why on earth is he into girls?!“ PS: Internet is full of gossips that he is married, but apparently his spokesman said he never was. PS: If you have any simmilar-looking friends, send contact. #BYE
WHO IS HE?! Well, ok... You must have seen those pictures, because they were everywhere in the press and on the internet. This man, gorgeous, tall, muscular, bearded (yeah the ideal boyfriend) holding hands with our lovely pop princess. Lovestory, friendship, we absolutely don’t know (and it does not concern us, if she is happy that’s the best) but in any case we are really loving this char-
ming gentleman and we wanna to say him hello with a big smile. But who is he? You know... we are girls. That means only one thing: INV E S T I G AT I ON. Those who know me also know my passion for handsome guys. And as soon as I see one, I do everything to know who he is (and I usually try to have him but that‘s another story...).

NEWS Children in need Each year, Children In Need implements actions to raise funds and help children who need it. Last year, Kylie took part in the project „God Only Knows“ - she recorded a song and also filmed a video (remember? The one where she was trapped in a bubble). And this year, she has taken part too. This time it had nothing to do with music - all the celebrities wrote a children‘s book! „The curious tale of Fi-Rex“ tells the story of a little girl who is half-dinosaur, half-human, and was written by artists such as One Direction, Sir Paul McCartney or Kylie. Everyone had to write a page of story, consulting only the last line of the previous page. And here is Kylie‘s page!

KYLIE + GARIBAY
It’s defo the event of the month. Kylie Minogue and Fernando Garibay finally released (a bit unexpectedly) the EP that everyone had been waiting for several months. With three new songs, the producer got us lovers again, but also attracted a wider audience and critics. Let’s focus on the collaboration between the two artists.
The announcement of a second EP
No release date was been provided, but we knew that Kylie had recorded new songs with Fernando Garibay earlier this year, and that an EP was being prepared. How many new tracks? No idea. We were just very excited to get to know more and hear those songs after the success of the first EP. God (aka Kylie) heard our prayers (Amen). While she was in Los Angeles where she recorded songs and did her photoshoot for her capsule collection with sloggi, she went out to a club with Fernando and Giorgio Moroder (squad goals). And they played one of those mysterious songs -Your body! For the first time, Fernando Garibay unveiled one of the songs
And „Kylie + Garibay“ was born
It‘s September 11th, around midnight in every country of the world, and the EP of Kylie and Garibay is posted on streaming and legal downloading platforms. Surprise! No official announcement from Garibay or Kylie was made until noon. SLEEPWALKER
We talked about this in the first issue of Kylie Times. It‘s been a year since Kylie Minogue and Fernando Garibay worked together on an first EP. Composed of four songs (Wait, Break This Heartbreak, Glow and Chasing Ghosts), this EP was used in the Kiss Me Once Tour for the mini-movie Sleepwalker (where Fernando Garibay appears next to Kylie) but also in a interlude of the show. Available for free on the Internet, these songs have attracted fans without taking place in the charts. It was a very different style from usual Kylie, and not really appropriate stuff for radio (we mean the commercial radios, not those one who have tastes and who are taking risks).
FERNANDO GARIBAY
You didn’t know Fernando Garibay before? Well, you did. You’ve already heard many of his songs on the radio. Starting production at the age of 16, the American’s Los Angeles-based producer and a DJ is also an author of songs for artists such as Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Enrique Iglesias or U2. Many Grammy Awards nominations, 5 number 1s in the US charts, many of them were ranked in the top 10 of the Billboard Dance. For example, almost the whole album of Lady Gaga « Born This Way » was produced by him.
of the EP, and it was quite difficult to have an opinion with snippets posted on Instagram. Anyway, all the muscular and almost naked gentlemen dancing to the song looked delighted.

One thing is certain, these songs just got you! Black And White stills as the most mainstream one (it was also completely cleared the charts from day one), Your Body with Giorgio’s italian poem brings a real sexy and sensual side to the EP. Can’t Have You is ranked in between those two songs, with a bit of melancholy side.
Black & White - the video
At that moment, you were saying, „Wow new Kylie’s songs, great, let’s play them on repeat! #JumpAndDanceEverywhere #TweetToKylieToTellHereThatItsAmazing ...Well, as a good news never come alone, the singer decided to make a video to Black And White, which can be considered as the single from the EP.

terina Jebb (who gave her the golden pants for „Spinning Around”), Black & White video has managed to surprise many people by its sexy side. Very retro with sepia and black and white colors (add for blonde ones, right En? it is the title of the song so it makes sense), Kylie appears in better shape than ever, dancing in a very short bikini that suits her perfect body (someone have also made very hot screenshots), She jumps into a pool, and does a cart wheel (even after 10 years at the gym we would still not make it) and kind of climbs a tree (which would just crack if it was us…). The single point maybe a bit negative, Shaggy, who features in the song, does not appear in the video. According to us, it is one of the sexiest videos she has ever filmed (beat Sexercize Kylie..just do it!)
Black &White 51%
26% Your body 23%
• When Kylie performed « Your Body » as preview in a club in Los Angeles, she had just recorded voice in the afternoon. • « Your Body » was recorded without the voices of Giorgio Moroder, and Fernando Garibay found it would be good to add him on the song • Kylie really likes the Australian singer Sam Sparro
LOVERS‘ FAVE? according to a survey on Kylie World, B&W wins all the way!
• The part of Giorgio Moroder on « Your Body » was written by himself: it is a poem in Italian. • Kylie thinks that songs belong together and are different at the same time • Shaggy, who’s on featuring on « Black And White » is thrill on this collaboration with Kylie Minogue and absolutely love the song.
ANOTHER COLLAB?
The EP owerhelmed many critics and the audience. Kylie said that this collaboration was something especially for the fans in an interview with Billboard. The question is, will there be something else? Why not for the next album, for example.. Garibay has a bright musical spirit and it seems like it‘s easy to create new songs with him. Songs done with love, without pressure and by simply expressing herself. We vote YES! Laeti, october 2k15
SHOW YOUR ID KYLIE! 47 WE DON‘T BELIEVE Officially, Kylie was born on May 28th, 1968. 47? Really? I mean, have you ever seen her?! No. Just no. Someone must have been lying since the very beginning, or has youth elixir, or is capable of doing some black magic. Have you seen Bathory? Maybe she fills her bathtubes not with feathers (at least when she‘s off stage) nor water, but also blood of murdered young women which gives brings her own youth back!!!!!! Right? Here‘s ten moments that will only prove our assumptions.
When Sloggi doesn‘t have to photoshop
...Kylie striked the pose in underwear for Sloggi to promote her capsule collection and she looked HOT. Not even one touch by photoshop on her body. None of the pictures were retouched. Imagine your mum doing that... or yourself.
When she wears bikini
...All those holiday pictures on instagram on summer. Or The Black & White video. Or the Italian GQ photoshoot... Slayed.
Laeti, october 2k15
When she takes backstage selfies ...She once said she was rubbish at selfies, and we think she was drunk when so. Or blinded probably by her own beauty.
When she does a cartwheel
...while you are not even able to do it at 20 years old. And after 10 years of gym trainings (yeah I was so bad but well…)
When an online app When she is tired and says you‘re older than still looking better than her ...hashtag fail. you at your best ...we all have those zombie days. Kylie does not.
30 www.kylie-world.com
When you look at her bum
When she changes her hair color but nothing really changes
...everyone knows that Kylie’s butt is so perfect. It‘s got its own twitter accounts or questions at interviews... everyone knows so. But hey, HOW IS IT WHEN WE DON‘T LOOK HALF THAT GOOD AT 20?
Blonde, brunette, ginger, wig... everything suits her! Her face is just perfect, and she barely have any wrinkles. HOW?!!
When she wears leopard suit with high heels
When she‘s happy about something
...imagine your mom doing this once again. LOL. Mom, if you are reading this, we can try but I‘m not that sure if it‘s gonna fit you... Or again - imagine yourself in it. How on Earth does she wear it so flawless?? Whitness the slayedge kids, whitness it.
She may (and might not) be 47 years old, but Kylie always seems to be so happy about the little things. She‘s happy when she jumps into the sea, she‘s happy when she takes a nap in the park, she‘s happy when someone gives her a flower... like a little child! And we love it.

DISCOVER: ST MORITZ
L
ast month we took you to Portofino, ideal place to spend a summer holiday with your love. And as winter is gently knocking on the door, we decided to show you a winter destination (time to eat raclette is coming and we are really hungry - well, just like all the time), St Moritz. Last August, Kylie came there for a very very private performance. St Moritz is located in Switzerland, but not far from the Italian border. It’s a small mountain city with about 6k habitants. The town is divided into two parts: the station, St Mortiez Dorf, and the village, where the newest hotels and establishments are and which is absolutely perfect for some spa treatments. It is actually what made the city famous at first place! St Moritz attracts the Swiss, but also had a great reputation among international travelers. The city also organizes many events during the year such as „St Moritz Polo World Cup On Snow“ in January, which attracts nearly 15,000 spectators each year.
Laeti, september 2k15
The village is very nice and seems calm, but access can be complicated. The nearest airport is in Lugano, 85km far from St Moritz. Unless you are rich, you have a private jet or you are Kylie Minogue…in that case, there‘s Engadin Airport for you, 5km far from the city. Trains still help you get there from all over Switzerland (So when Kylie is doing a new show in Zurich, you can come and visit St Moritz right after - unless you’re us and you need to hurry to another show). It’s a rich place for activities. We’ve already mentioned spa, but that’s obviously not the only one. They have fab ski resorts there, and if you’re a coach potato, you can eat raclette (nomnomnom yes we love it). Be careful
we the restaurant card before going, cause the village is home to many wealthy clients and you can see it’s reflection on their prices (we checked - there are no McDonalds or Subways nearby). In case you are one of those people who resell their tickets to see Kylie at RAH four times up the normal price,
Laeti, october 2k15
you can pay good restaurants, but that‘s not cool and we wish they poison it for you. You’re welcome. Back to the skiing… If you do like sports, facilities and ski slopes available there will seduce you! It sounds funny from me, who is so lame when it comes to this. I went skiing once in my life, they put me alone on the colorless ski slope - shame and I still managed to fly over my skies within a minute… But it is never too late to learn! I advise you to take a personal teacher, but it is quite expensive, too. But there always is the Laeti‘s tested and approved solution: go next to a group of children, listen to the teacher, do the same, and that is for free. *thats what we do to save up for Kylie* Or you can just take En with
you, because she‘s a master of skiing, but she will try to get you drunk by mulled wine before you even leave the house. In summer, you can go for a little hike around the village and enjoy it’s nature - like Kylie and her friend Jeanette Calliva. You can take a lot of selfies and after this hard work, you can eat raclette - ok I promise I‘ll stop talking about raccletes. And what is better than a night out on holidays? You can go to a place that has already seen many stars including Kylie, the Dracula Club. Make sure there’s no private party (and if there is one, just run in and scream GET OUT OF MY WAY. Another alternative night out, the King‘s Club, or the Badrutt‘s Palace bar stays open until the sun starts to rise!
