Sorry! I thought I had this posted up, then later realized that I wasn’t able to. T_T 2NE1 NOLZA DVD, full vid! It’s nice to watch this on YT, but believe me, it is totally, totally awesome to own the DVD itself and watch it with your family! ^_^ 2NE1 gave such an energetic and jjang concert! Considering that this is their first concert, it’s already very powerful, and you can see the girls give their all. ^^

The making is a bit short and I’d have loved to see the practice vids more *cough*Kiss with Deukkie*cough*, but the behind the scenes at the concert venue are precious. ^_^ We get to see anxious CL-leadah giving maknae Minzy some tips, Bommie saying out her worries about lyrics to Dara, Minzy stretching and prepping herself up not to be nervous, and Dara putting on her temp tattoos all by herself, and crying her eyes out after the concert. T_T Precious moments to be sure! ^_^

Wee! I think this is the second time that 2NE1 has been featured in a magazine in Mexico, right? ^_^ And Por Ti, is one of the more famous youth magazines in Mexico! So happy that 2ne1 got featured in it! ^_^ Also “Por Ti Revista” is Spanish for “For You Magazine” ^_^

So awesome! 2NE1 is oh so ready to set the world on Fire! Can’t wait for the girls to have world domination, hopefully starting this year! ^_^ And yes, I am insanely happy that Clap Your Hands is one of the Top Videos listed! Dara’s rap in that song is jjang. ^_^
