Katy Perry

Katy Perry was born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California, United States. The middle child of two pastors, she has an older sister and younger brother. Perry rose to fame in 2007 with her internet hit "Ur So Gay", and later scored in 2008 her breakthrough single "I Kissed a Girl". Baptized a born again Christian, Perry was incorporated to her parents' ministry, and she started singing in their church from age nine to sixteen. She grew up listening to gospel music and was not allowed to listen what her mother called secular music. Perry attended Christian schools and camps. As a child, Perry learned how to dance in a rec hall in Santa Barbara. She was taught by seasoned dancers and began with swing, Lindy Hop, and jitterbug. She took her GED after her freshman year of high school and decided to leave schooling to pursue a career in music. Perry initially started singing "because I was at that point in my childhood where I was copycatting my sister and everything she did". She was in a constant fight to capture the attention of her parents off her sister's, who was at the time taking voice lessons. Her sister practiced with cassette tapes, and Perry took the tapes herself when her sister was not around. She rehearsed the songs and performed it to her parents, who suggested she should take voice lessons. She grabbed the opportunity and began taking lessons at age nine to sixteen. She enrolled in at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, and studied Italian opera for a little while. Perry dated Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, whom she met in a recording studio in New York,[10] on and off for several years. After more than a year of friendship and casual dating, they became serious with their relationship right before they embarked into the 2008 Warped Tour. Perry and McCoy broke up in December 2008.

THIGH HIGH TIME

Katy Perry seen on Nov 06 2009 in London, UK. Acting a little bashful with her new British beau, Katy Perry is spotted holding hands with funnyman Russell Brand as they head out to grab a bite to eat in London on November 6. Despite the cold KP stepped out in a gray tweed mini (like Generra's Button Jumper in Pewter) with a black leather jacket (try Gold Hawk's Belted Leather Jacket in Moonless Night) wearing edgy lace-up boots (try Farylrobin's Valencia Heeled Ankle Boot in Grey) with black stockings. Katy topped it off with a kitschy polar bear cap and aviators. I like the dress and jacket but I'm not sure if the thigh highs are the best match – what do you think? KP headed back to the UK for some downtime with her man after fulfilling her hosting duties at the 2009 MTV EMA's in Berlin the night before. From the looks of it she seems to be quite smitten with her new man, crafting a special costume using jerseys from Russell's favorite soccer – ahem, football – team to wear during one of her performances in the show. As if having his nickname "Rusty" printed across the back wasn't enough, RB tweeted how happy he was to see his girl repping his team and announced she will be joining him at future games. There may not be too many more appearances in the UK though – rumor has it Russell has put his London home up for sale to make the move across the Atlantic and be closer to his new lady. They've only been dating since the VMA's in September, so as expected RB shot down the rumors at a DVD signing in London: "I'm not moving to America. I will sometimes go there. I have to go there to make films. We do make films in England but it's more like a hobby. They're like, 'Come along, we can make a film. Oh, and can you make the sandwiches?" Putting a funny spin on it, Russell definitely makes it seems unlikely he and Katy are on the verge of co-habitation. What do you readers think?

BRINGING MTV TO BERLIN

Katy Perry seen on Nov 05 2009 in Berlin, Germany. I loved both of Katy Perry's red carpet looks at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards this year I couldn't decide which to feature. The awards were held in Berlin this year on November 5, with KP hosting for the second time in a row. If your first reaction was, "where's her trademark fruit?" KP answered that question at the press conference the day before the show: “Last year I was all bright and fruity, but now we’re in Berlin it’s going to be all sexy, dark and romantic with a cabaret undertone.” For the press conf, Katy picked a flirty Jenny Packham dress in a faded pink shade with a fancy clasp at the waist, sheer lacy yoke and a voluminous feathered skirt (if you love the almost nude shade try Sue Wong's Gladiator Short Dress in Blush). KP paired this look with Louis Vuitton Cancan heels in a bronze shade. At the show the next day, Katy walked the red carpet in a gorgeous nude tulle Marchesa gown with embroidered black floral appliqués covering the right shoulder (try similarly decadent options from Sue Wong like the Victorian Layered Gown in Ivory or the Vintage Inspired Beaded Gown in Ivory). The mermaid skirt gives her gorgeous enhanced curves – I'm totally wowed by this look! KP wore her tresses in an old fashioned updo and kept her accessories simple with a single silver bracelet (personalize the look with Christie Martin's Love Bangle in Sterling Silver). Which look is your fav? While KP might have lost her nom for Best Video to Beyonce, she definitely won in the sartorial awards. Her wardrobe was filled with spectacular gowns including a jack-o-lantern-esque Viktor & Rolf gown, a feathered white Marchesa frock screaming showgirl and a dramatic blue sequined Georges Chakra Couture gown with a dazzling fringed skirt. Which frock is your fav?

MIXING IT UP WITH MIKA

Katy Perry seen on Oct 23 2009 in Hollywood, CA. Rocking out at the Mika concert in Hollywood earlier this week, Katy Perry shares a laugh with fans while heading back to her car after the show on October 23. It's been a great week for KP, celebrating her 25th bday the next night at a Willie Wonka themed bash with friends including new beau Russell Brand and country sweetheart Taylor Swift. Looks like it was a great party even though a few designer frocks got a makeover with (hopefully washable) finger paints! At the concert, KP picked a sexy cowl neck mini to party in (love the pretty nude shade of her skirt, like Alice + Olivia's Moonstone Dress in Grey or Sue Wong's Gladiator Short Dress in Blush, or go for the low-cut look with a top like Nu by Marc Anthony's Necklace Top in Black or Sky's Alima Chain Top in Metallic Black paired with sexy skinnies) complete with seductive Giuseppe Zanotti python pumps. As a finishing touch she threw a Chanel classic chain strap bag over her shoulder (check out the modern interpretation of Carla Mancini's Flap Over Bag with Chain Strap in Black), keeping her jewelry minimal. Loving the new super straight hair with bangs – do you think it suits her?

KATY GETS DOWN TO URTH

Katy Perry seen on Oct 18 2009 in West Hollywood, CA. Katy Perry stepped to Urth Caffé in West Hollywood on October 18, hanging out with BFF Markus Molinari, who happens to look strikingly like KP's new beau Russell Brand. KP met up with MM and friends for lunch before heading off to shop Kitson for a new pair of sunnies in an adorable summery look... in October! I think a belt would help her dress look less like a tent, but I love the print and the faux Henley trim at the top (turn heads in similar sundresses like Meghan Fabulous' Nakeisha Dress in Storm, T Bags' Bubble Dress in Flower Power or Vava by Joy Han's Amber Tube Dress in Denim). She's also wearing it as a bathing suit cover-up (over a bikini like Vix's Melissa Triangle Bikini & Brazilian Bottom in Brown) if that excuses this super casual look. KP coordinated her black sandals and straw fedora with the black trim on the dress, finishing it off with a black chain strap purse (like Carla Mancini's Flap Over Bag with Chain Strap in Black). As you might have heard, Katy is completely smitten with British beau Russell Brand these days, caught by the paps making out a Hollywood Hills party last weekend. What do you think of the new coupling, now that's it's official?

FASHION WEEK FAB

Katy Perry seen on Sep 10 2009 in New York, NY. Unable to resist the temptation of Fashion's Night Out, Katy Perry was spotted darting out of the Chanel boutique on 57th St on her way to make her scheduled appearance at Giuseppe Zanotti during the NYC fashion festivities on Sept 10. KP looked absolutely giddy as she made her way from one retail heaven to another, hitting up Dior before designing her own custom bag at Chanel and then making her way to the swanky soiree at Guiseppe Zanotti. At the event KP was treated to the sounds of Taylor Momsen's band, The Pretty Reckless, before getting into some serious shopping. She arrived at the event in a curve hugging silvery-white long sleeved mini (try Gold Hawk's Drawstring Mini Dess in Silver or Rails' Mona Dress in Grey or White if you dare break the Labor Day rule!) with sheer black stockings, lace up GZ boots (FarylRobin's Harlow Knee High Boot in Grey are another hot look for fall) and an onyx necklace tying the look together (try Michele Michel's Hematite Opera Necklace in Silver). A few nights later KP hit up MTV's Video Music Awards, were she picked a spiky dress to sit through the show in, leading to her tweet, "I'ma fall asleep and stab myself with this dress if I don't get to the party soon. As nini says "don't be tardy to the party!" Evidently she did make it to the party, where she was snapped chatting up Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill and the evening's host Russell Brand. A source even alleges Katy and Russell were smooching before the end of the night, but I have my doubts – you can't believe every tabloid story you read!

100 CHICKEN MCNUGGETS

Katy Perry seen on Jul 28 2009 in New York, NY. She has a very unique fashion sense, and Katy Perry was looking her quirky best following her (RED)Nights concert in NYC on July 28. It seems like everyone came out for the concert, from Donald Trump to Leighton Meister and Rihanna - were any of you able to attend? Flaunting fresh new curls while messing around after the show, KP headed to her post-concert party at the Griffin nightclub with BFF RiRi at her side. The ladies made some provocatively playful poses with Sugar Factory Couture lollipops (let your imagination run with that one) before heading to Lower East Side nightclub The Box and calling it a night at closing. Both girls had McDonald's eats waiting for them in the car – KP was witnessed with 20 piece box of Chicken McNuggets but she tweeted: last night was so crazy we order like 100 chicken nuggets. I found a cheeseburger in my bath tub... U guys r INSANE. Sounds yummy! For her wild night out, KP wore a strapless floral silk jumpsuit (I personally wouldn't dare to try this look, but if you have the legs to make it work try The Proportion of Blu's Uno Jumpsuit in Indigo or Black Halo's Strapless Jumpsuit in Deep Purple) cinched with a double heart belt and flamingo pink slingbacks. It's bright, it's fun, no one else could wear it but her, but this look won me over because she finally changed her hair! Love the curls and the slightly uneven bangs – do you think the new 'do is a good update for her? In addition to her concert, it's been a busy week for Katy, from grabbing late night eats with the girls to performing on "The Today Show" in another one of her crazy costumes. Next up KP will be touring across the US with stops in Texas and CA before a few stops Down Under. Are any of you catching her Irvine show with No Doubt and the Sounds??

JUST A GIRL WITH A DREAM... AND A NAME

Katy Perry seen on Jul 15 2009 in Los Angeles, CA. Taking a break from her "Hello Katy" world tour, Katy Perry was spotted out at MyHouse club in LA on July 15 with a mystery fellow at her side. For the past month she's been on the exhausting European leg of her tour, performing dozens of times from Spain to Germany and everywhere in between. The tour resumes July 25 in Boston and stretches through September – are any of you catching her show? Unwinding at LA's hotspot of the week, Katy arrived in a sexy black leather mini with uber fierce bandage heels and a loose tee with giant flamingos (show your animal love with Lauren Moshi's Giraffe V Tee in White or the Owl Racer Tank in Heather Grey). Adding a braided black leather bag (check out the simple shape of Julie K's Hayley Shoulder Bag in Black Glaze), a pink ring and a white bangle (check out CC Skye's Carson Cuff in White), Katy stays true to her signature style with this sassy summer look. It might just be one of her better ones, compared to her usual kitschy odd-ball picks! What do you think of the 'fit? Although Katy Perry claims she has nothing to do with it, an Australian legal team representing her sent a cease & desist letter to Aussie fashion designer Katie Perry after she filed a copyright app for her loungewear line, threatening legal action if she refused to stop using her own name. Is it really a crime to share the same name? After repeatedly trying to connect with Katy through their lawyers, Katie made a YouTube video pleading with Katy to stop the madness. In the vid, Katie said: "You're a girl who has a dream just like myself." Thankfully, Katy's lawyers reconsidered and dropped the suit just hours before it was due to be heard in court (according to Katie Perry's Twitter updates), but Katy is keeping quiet on the issue. I can understand her qualms – if she tours in Australia, she would be prevented from advertising herself as Katy Perry lest Aussies confuse her with the designer – but seriously, what's the big deal? And doesn't Katy feel just a teeny bit hypocritical that she's not even fighting over her birth name (Kathryn Elizabeth Hudson)? Whatever the reasoning, I hope these two ladies kiss & make up soon!

KATY PARIS

Katy Perry seen on Jun 16 2009 in Paris, France. Continuing on her tour, Katy Perry was spotted out and about in Paris during the day before her concert, June 16. Katy's been Twittering tour highlights to all her fans, and this morning she added: "Woke up in Paris. My whole family is here :) Dad said he bought some Hulezz cologne here yesterday, looked at bottle it says Hermes. Classic." Amazing! While prepping for her back-to-back concerts in France, Katy chose to forgo her usual colorful wardrobe and stepped out in a sophisticated black 'fit. Going with black shorts (I'd go with Johnson's Wool Crepe Jumper in Black), a black tank and blazer (like Signorelli's Logo Blazer in Black), Katy rocked some lacy cropped leggings with her trademark glitzy bow heels. Love the choice of footwear! Mixing it up with white Raybans, an Eiffel Tower necklace and a braided black bag (try Carla Mancini's Top Zipper Tote in Black), Katy stopped to sign some autographs for fans before heading off to rehearsal. Since London she's made stops in Switzerland, and is heading off to Germany after as she continues singing tracks from her hit album "One of the Boys." Apparently, Katy has no problem getting along with the guys, but she seems to have some trouble with the ladies – at least the ones she's not kissing. She dominated a Katie vs. Katy electric shocking contest on a radio show in April, and she's also rumored to be getting into a legal catfight with another famous femme of the same name, Aussie fashion designer Katie Perry. Katy denies she's taking legal action, but her lawyers sent Katie Perry a letter warning her to change her name after the Australian Perry filed a copyright request. The funny part is, Katie Perry's real name is Katie Perry, while Katy Perry was born Kathryn Elizabeth Hudson. Who's in the right here?

MY NAME IS KATY AND I AM A TWITAHOLIC

Katy Perry seen on Jun 10 2009 in London, UK. Showing off her colorful personality, Katy Perry continued on her Hello, Katy tour in London on June 10, arriving at BBC Radio One to do a little press on Wednesday morning. Channeling the 80's in a bright floral TopShop blazer over a plain white tank (try Splendid's super soft Light Jersey Tank in White) and black leggings (can't go wrong with Splendid's Long Leggings in Black), KP mixed it up with hot pink Ray Bans and a few studded bracelets (try CC Skye's Double Wrap Bracelet in Black). Love the kitschy heart heels - can't you see an 80's version of Cinderella wearing them? While Katy has been on tour, she's been Twittering up a storm letting her fans know what she's up to. Unfortunately, it's also getting her into some trouble, as she explained recently: "The other night I was in a great Mexican restaurant and so I Twittered — not that I was in this particular restaurant; I was a bit cryptic about which city it was — but there were people outside a minute after I put that out there. I forgot I was broadcasting live. I am addicted to it." Sounds like a personal problem! Are any of you indulging in the Twitter trend?

ORANGE YOU ON TOUR?

Katy Perry seen on Jun 09 2009 in London, UK. Pausing on the street to sign autographs and chat with fans, Katy Perry stands out in a pumpkin orange skirt on June 8 while en route to the Lulu Guinness 20th Anniversary bash at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. This girl always has her own quirky style, but I think you could actually call this one of her more "normal" 'fits – not to say that makes it wearable! Pairing an edgy zippered orange skirt (if you like the zippers try AmberLynn's Zipper Skirt in Black) with an olive top and bold printed vest (try tucking in Signorelli's Omni Long Sleeve Rhinestone Tee in Olive or combining the two with Karen Zambos' Long Vest Dress in Little Plaid ), KP looks a little timid while flashing a peace sign to fans. I'm not crazy about the orange at all – I mean at ALL – but I do like the nude bandage heels and matching cuff (try CC Skye's fun cutout Bardot Cuff in Gold). I'm seeing a lot of bandage flats trekking around LA lately, but the heel helps it look less like an ankle injury. Anyone else agree? After attending the Lulu Guinness bash, Katy made her way to Beyonce's show at the O2 Arena and Twittered her excitement: "Beyonce is a living legend, this is true. I might have seen one of the best shows I ever saw tonight. Bitch can back it up!!!" Enough said! KP rolled into town the day before her own concert at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, continuing on her "Hello Katy" world tour complete with a cherry bedazzled microphone and plenty of other cheeky innuendo inspired emblems. Apparently she's not the only one with a glitter and fruit fetish – she returned to her tour bus after her show the following night in Brighton to find it had been vandalized. Again, KP took to Twitter to share the news: "some1 just broke into our bus, they got caught. Luckily all there is is glitter, catsuit outfits, fruit & a box set of Ab Fab. Sux fer them." Sounds like pretty much what you would expect on a Katy Perry tour! Wonder what the thief was looking for??

KP: I DO NOT HOOK UP

Katy Perry seen on May 26 2009 in Tokyo, Japan. It seems like wherever she goes she lights up the room, and Katy Perry did just that at the new H&M store in Tokyo, Japan on May 26. Doing her best to stand out among the Harajuku girls, KP chose a glitzy silver mini dress for the night (you can’t go wrong with LaROK’s Sequin Patchwork Mini Dress in Grey or the Serengeti Tunic in Black Zebra, but if you prefer to cover your arms try PGD Style’s basic Joni Ruffle Mini Dress in Smoke), sticking to the metallic theme with strappy gold platforms and a freaky spike cuff (stick to safe studs like CC Skye’s Stud Woven Leather Bangles in Black/Silver). Seriously, she could put someone’s eye out with that! It wouldn’t be a typical Katy Perry ‘fit without some kitschy accessory, and the hot pink heart earrings add the perfect girly touch (add some fun to your ‘fit with Erica Anenberg’s adorable Baby Heart Hoop Earrings in Gold). What do you think of Katy's look? I don’t think she looks terrible, but I’m not a fan of the extreme side part, even if it does show off the cute little earrings. I wish someone would’ve fixed the lighting too – no one’s skin is that orange! At the press event kicking off H&M’s new “Fashion Against AIDS” line, Katy got on the mic and spoke a little about the cause. She’s been speaking out a lot lately, especially about men imparticular. She recently talked about hooking up and pretty much bashed all of her Hollywood friends: “For me, it’s not a past time, going out and meeting people and trying to hook up with people. That actually makes me feel disgusting. From a really early age, I was really sensitive to that.” Wonder if Katy’s Christian upbringing has anything to do with her opinion on the subject? KP also co-wrote Kelly Clarkson’s song “I Do Not Hook Up” off her recent album. Do you think she practices what she preaches?

KP'S GOT PEOPLE

Katy Perry seen on May 06 2009 in New York, NY. Putting her best party dress on, Katy Perry was the lady of honor at a Svedka Vodka sponsored party arranged by People on May 6 at Mr. West nightclub in NYC. Katy has been tending to her publicity duties in the Big Apple for a few weeks now, but this night was all about her and the newly released “Waking Up In Vegas” music video. KP arrived in a sparkling gold mini dress adorned with multicolored fringe (get the Vegas look with picks like LaROK’s Sequin Patchwork Mini Dress in Grey, Gold Hawk’s Sequin Dress in Desert Brown, or Ingwa Melero’s Carmelia Mini Dress in Taupe), dressing it up with sheer black nylons, a glitzy cocktail ring (try something fun like Femme Metale’s Gemstone Ring in Sterling Silver) and flashy silver pumps. Love the 20’s rewind with the flapper frock and cropped bob, but what do you think of Katy’s sparkly look? Rihanna was in the house to support her BFF, and Katy’s on-again-off-again beau Travis McCoy also showed up at KP’s VIP table. Along with other friends, the lady of the night partied with Travis and RiRi like they were in Sin City, sipping on vodka and hitting the dance floor until closing time. In an interview at the bash, KP dished on the music video for her latest single: “If you look at the opening scene, which is kind of the way we ended as well, you will see a little old lady to the left with like an oxygen tank on… That little old lady is my 88-year-old grandma! She lives in Las Vegas and she was dying to be in the video.” How rad! What do you think of the Waking Up In Vegas video?

BLUE BEAUTY

Katy Perry seen on May 04 2009 in New York, NY. Stepping it up from her usual fruit-themed costumes, Katy Perry arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala on May 4 in New York City dressed in an electric blue gown. While there were many over the top looks at the costume gala, themed "Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion," I can't quite wrap my mind around Katy's choice of dress. Selecting a strapless Tommy Hilfiger gown with an hourglass shape and a long train (if you love the shade of blue try Smitten's A-line Turtleneck Dress in Blueberry or my personal fav, Prairie NY's Stone Cami Dress in Fountain), Katy channeled Cleopatra with the stiff gold neckline and further emphasized the Egyptian style with the jet black bob and bangs. Katy accented the brilliant turquoise dress with a large gold cuff (like CC Skye's Studio 54 Mesh Cuff), gold peep-toe Christian Louboutins and a pebble-shaped gold clutch. What would a KP ensemble be without some kind of funky purse? I think the dress is very flattering on her curvy figure, and she did take the costume idea and run with it, but I think she somehow missed the mark. It seems everyone has mixed opinions though: MTV put Katy on the Worst Dressed List for the hair, collar and overly bold color, while People landed her on the Best Dressed List for bringing out her eyes with the blue gown, "set off with bold metal jewelry." What is your opinion of Katy's costume pick? One thing that definitely helps: looks like KP picked up a little color last week while vacationing in Barbados with Rihanna and Kelly Clarkson. KP and Kelly C performed at Chum FM's 24th Anniversary Celebration on April 23, and stayed on RiRi's native island for a few days soaking up the sun. There's never a bad time for catching up with the girls!

WHICH LOOK DO YOU LOVE?

Katy Perry seen on Apr 09 2009 in New York, London and Vegas. Even celebs are getting thrifty with their purchases these days: Nicky Hilton, Katy Perry, and Mischa Barton have been spotted at various destinations around the globe wearing the same fabulous peacock frock from Matthew Williamson for H&M's Spring 2009 collection (this one is sold out, but if you like the standout mini, try CoutureCandy's picks like Plenty by Tracy Reese's Ruffled Shift Dress in Gumdrop Stripes, Black Halo's Boatneck Sheath Dress with Hip Sash in Print or Ingwa Melero's Printed Sahara Dress in Blue/Berry). KP started the trend in NYC on April 9 when she wore the dress out to a sushi dinner at Nobu before attending Paper Magazine's "Beautiful People Party 2009," playing up the bold blue mini with black tights, shiny metallic heels and an adorably kitschy pucker shaped purse. You can tell I'm a fan of the fun accessory, but what do you think of the girly shape? Nicky worked the peacock theme next, wearing the dress to make a celebrity guest appearance at Prive at the Planet Hollywood hotel in Las Vegas. Nicky paired the dress with her fav electric blue Loubs and a coordinating blue peacock clutch, also from the collection. I love the purse but do you think the matchy-matchy theme is too much? Trying out the trend for herself, Mischa was spotted having a ciggie (or a fag?) outside her hotel in London on April 23, coincidentally the same day the Matthew Williamson collection was released to the rest of us. She added a little edge to the 'fit with neon aviators, a silver cuff, black fringed bag and the same spunky bubblegum pink, black and red booties as Heidi Montag wore while shopping in Beverly Hills last week. I guess everyone is just copying everyone else's style these days! Who do you think rocked the frock best?

TOURING NYC

Katy Perry seen on Apr 08 2009 in New York, NY. Staying true to her unique sense of style, Katy Perry happily left her NYC hotel on April 8, off to a meeting with her record label in downtown Manhattan. I absolutely adore Katy's pink and teal mock cardigan tunic - but I doubt anyone but her could pull it off (tone it down with Smitten's Longsleeve V Neck Cable Tunic in Black with something sassy over it like Zoa's T-Back Vest in Midnight). Adding sheer striped tights, fierce studded booties and classic Ray Bans, Katy accessorized with a purse in the shape of a teddy bear (not as cool, but check out the similar shape of Antoinette Lee's Mia Bag in Gold), a studded bracelet and a long dainty gold necklace (like Kimberly Faith's 48" Patchwork Necklace in Gold/Silver). Love the randomness she has going on - it might not work for everyone but it certainly suits her style. What do you think of the 'fit? KP has been in NYC all week doing promo stuff while continuing on her Hello Katy tour. Did any of you catch her at the Fillmore for any of her three shows earlier this week? Taking some time to share relationship insights with her fans, Katy gave her 2 cents while in NYC (and you can only assume she's talking about Gym Class Heroes ex Travis McCoy): "Guys are like artichokes. It's impossible to find the heart. You can be searching and searching but only get the tough stuff. Girls have intuition, they can tell when a player doesn't have a heart. I'm using my intuition." Gotta love the analogy - and take heed!
