                               What more needs to be said???

French Vogue goes Tribal for November 2009

How Fabulous is it that French Vogue has gone to the mother land for fall??

Not only is it High Fashion Couture but it's very ethnic.

My only issue ,and for those that know me know I'm passionate about black models being represented in the industry, Is why didn't they use one of the lovely black models that are burning up at the moment??

The world may never know but seriously how fabulous would it have been to see a Chanel Iman or a Sisile Lopez on the cover??? 

Non the less it's still a fab cover I'll be snatching it soon.

SIDE NOTE: The body pant is the same as Grace Jones's by Keith Hearing??

 

This is how you sit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eva, Helena, and Claudia........Serving for i-D Magazine!!!!!!!!!

That's all..... 

Jimmy Choo for H&M

Ok so H&M has done it again folks. Just When I thought they had topped the list of high fashion brands to design for the company here comes Jimmy Choo. I was supossed to write about this during the week but I was busy.

This past Saturday 14th the collection was relesed at sellect stores. I'm sure it was a mess. There is always a feeding frenzy going on at one of these events. But this time H&M was ready for all those greedy shoppers who snacth first and ask questions latter. Those people who were waiting in line were given arm braclets and I think only 160 were allowed in the shopping area at a time and they could only buy one of each item........I'm sure some people were highly upset...lol

The collection was very cute from the shots I saw on the site. I wasn't able to see it in person because I don't live in one of those lucky cities who's stores got the actuall collection.

If you missed out like I did don't worry all of the collection is on Ebay selling for way more then it cost in stores.....sigh

 

Lady Gaga: Bad Romance

Ok so yesterday Lady Gaga debut her new video for Bad Romance and I can't sit still!!!!!

Why does she keep tormenting me so...lol...I'm not sure how much of this lady I can really take. The video is beyond amazing. The concept, the haus, the fashion. I almost had a massive heart attack when I saw her in that Alexander McQueen frock head to toe for spring summer 2010. And to top it of she even had the hair to match. 

These are just one pair that she wore at the beginning when she lifted her leg out of the tub she was in.

Here's the McQueen outfit she wore that took my breath away....

And just for kicks here's the SS 2010 McQueen show that still has people talking. Speaking of McQueen what drugs are he on to keep dreaming up these otherworldly creations??

 

 

I downloaded Wales new CD here's my review.

I think he did a nice job for his first run. My favorite songs are 9021, Contemplate, Shades, Diary, World Tour, Pretty Girls, and of course Chillin with Lady Gaga. I heard Pretty Girls before on his mix tape and to be honest it sounded better with out Gucci Mane...Sorry it's true. The rest of the songs don't interest me..lol...I love him to death though and for some odd reason I have a light crush on him I'm not sure what it is. It might be his way with words or that dark skin tone or both.  

 

Nina Ricci Fever

Ok you know what I'm just about done.....

If your a fashionista like I am and you keep up on your trends

I'm sure you well aware of the madness going on over at Nina Ricci.

Everyone can't stop talking about these death deifying boots. I just want to say the Oliver Theyskens no longer at the label but he was sure to go out with a BANG!!!!!!! 

The show was Beautiful, Erie, and Mysterious. The clothing was full of 

volume and shape. But as I said before the on thing on everyone's lips 

are these killer boots. I'm not sure what Oliver's drug of choice was 

when thinking these up but they must have done the job.

I'm not sure if I'd like to be walking around all night in them but I would

surely love to give them a go around the block. The special thing about

                them is that they come in a couple different styles some with glitter, some made of suede, leather, patent leather, etc....

If anyone reading this knows how or where I can get my greedy 

paws on these boots contact me ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Brandy - Casualties

zSHARE - Brandy - Casualties.mp3 Is it just me or do I smell a new CD?? P.S I'm all over this song at the moment 
 

I want Shakiras body...Don't you??

Ok so is it really fair to the rest of the human race that this lady is so close to perfect?? The short answer is no. Ever since I saw this video I couldn't help but look at her beautiful shape. Let's face  it most woman would kill to have her body. I for one am no exception.....

   

 

Jealous much????

Current Obsessions

Diego Dolcini

Leather Sandal $1,140

I love these shoes so much I can't sit still!!!!

  Even though they're leather they looks as if they are made

of metallic foil. It also doesn't hurt that they have a slim

stiletto heel.

 

Gucci

Leather Crotch high boots

$2,950 - $2,590

Ok on some real S*@% these boots are fire!!!!!!!

The first pair are so serious I can't eve sit still my ego would

be so big in these. You literally wouldn't be able to speak to

me. I'm being so serious. I could just picture stalking the streets

at night like some midnight ebony super hero. The second pair are

just as amazing. It's like Freda was literally in my head while making 

these. I've been having nightmares about a crotch high flat sole boot

for a while and here they are. The only problem??? 

The price tag of both......ouch!!!!!!!!!

 Balenciaga

Starts at $ 2175

Ok now these need very special attention.

Not to mention a very special pair of legs and fashion sense

to pull these off. I haven't the slightest idea what they are made

of. But as of late Nicolas has been using new materials for his shoes

as well as his clothing. Less we forget those dresses from fall 2008

made of scuba material. In any event I sure would love to give these

a go just because. Don't they look like the were found on another planet??

 

Louis Vuitton

Gold boots $4,750 

Let me just say I only have eye's for the golden ones!!!!!

When I first saw them that's exactly where my eye's went and 

no where else. There's just something about them that I can't quite

put my finger on but I love them. The price is out of this world though

what's going on Marc Dear???

The beautiful always finish last

I've been wanting to speak about this for a while but until now I haven't had much to say except to friends in my circle. At this past Collections Ball hosted by Jasmine Couture Mizrahi there was an incident involving Legendary Icon Kristina Tsunami and Ginger Mizrahi. During a heated battle during the female figure performance category there were a lot of thing that I was not happy to see. For starter when I logged into W4me and read that Ginger, of all people, had won the 5K I was shocked. To the point where I had no words. I still to this very day don't see how she was allowed to walk but I guess if you new overall mother and financial source for the category is the ball promoter anything is possible....."Sigh"....I just got done watching the dvd that I waited almost 2 weeks to get, not thanks to Andre Chanel, and got into the drama that was the main topic of the blogtalk radio shows for the past 2 weeks. And was it drama. 

I sat in horror and watched how the whole category went from start to finish. In my opinion the only girls who should've received 10's were Deja La Perla, Kristina Tsunami, Roxy Evisu, Tamaya Allure, Skittles Herrea, A khan??, and just because Malaysia Ebony. Long story short watching what went down and how Kristina was attacked by Donald Miza and how she lost knocked the wind out of me. From Ginger grabbing Kristina's hands to head butting her, to stepping on her to winning the 5k. It's no wonder Kristina lost it and grabbed Ginger by her hair..lol..Now I don't condone violence but I know by that time Kristina had had enough. I watched as Kool Aid held her as she cried in defeat and it really broke my heart. 

Money aside what took place was unacceptable on Jasmines part as the ball host. She should've taken charge of the situation the moment things got out of hand. Luckily there were those on her side such as my house brother Milan Garcons, Sania Ebony, James Icon, Kool Aid Khan, and a good portion of the scene. What happened is a prime example of why the true show stoppers and legends don't come to balls anymore because the scene has lost it's respect value. I'm sad to say that Kristina has washed her hands of the scene. I wished she would stay because there are so few talented kind hearted people left. Her talent and gift is something that I always looked forward to seeing when ever she would hit the floor. Her performance is like nothing I've ever seen and it inspires me and so many others to hit that floor even when it seems that our efforts go unrecognized.

Pretty soon I to will will be done because as many have said before things have changed for the worst and it's getting to the point where it's not even worth it anymore. As much as I enjoy what I do, even though it hasn't been for long, I can see now that it's not something I can continue with either. I do however wish her luck on continuing her education and I hope that from time to time she will hit that floor just to make people like me loose it just for old times sake.

Hot looks for the season

The BALMAIN "look"

Sharp tailored jackets, mostly in black, with those 80's

power shoulders ah la Dynasty. Underneath add a simple 

white tank or slinky halter top. Paired with super skinny jeans 

or leggings. And for added pop be on the look out for leggings with

    texture and prints such as leopard and zebra strips. 

As far as jeans look for coated jeans or jeans with studs,beads or rhinestones. 

Also short ankle boots or a killer pair of pumps topped off with a great bag or bold clutch.

To pull this look together try to stay with in the same color scheme.

               For example black and white. You can never go wrong with this and the pieces can be mixed latter on with other pieces in you wardrobe.

 

The couture military jacket is another key piece from this look.

You can find them almost anywhere. I've seen many different ones in 

Forever 21. For a little added glam you can add the trimming yourself.

You can find it in almost any craft or fabric store. 

If that's to much work you can go the easy route and find a old marching band uniform jacket in 

a thrift store for with the same effect. 

I'll be posting my looks for less soon!!!!

Fabulosity Weekend.....Or was it??

Well my first post go well but we'll get to that latter....

Anyway this Saturday I woke up and got ready for work. I ran out to work and ran myself thin it was nuts. I had been waiting for a while for this ball which was hosted by Daryle and my uncle David Illuminati. Let me just say that i had mixed feelings about this ball because of "My" categories. I'm not going to get into it but lets just say one of them wasn't appropriate for the season.  When I got home around 11 PM my poor feet were killing me!!!!!!  I was running around my house like a mad woman trying on things and running back and forth to my laptop. I showered, did my make up, steamed my garments (again) and put on my "Amy". The look I was going for was inspired by Amy Whinehouse....Yes hair and all everyone got a kick out of it. 

So after all was said and done my daddy Tye and Camille came and snatched me up and we were off to the ball. When arrived LSS was well under way. All my house members were there Teddy, Vanity, Shannon, Alyssa, Whitney, D'von, etc....

We ended up winning BQ Face, Sneaker vs. Sneaker, Butch Realness, as well as Grand Prize Runway OTA for $500 which went to D'von who did an amazing job. Alas I didn't get to walk which
meant I got done to sit and watch the backs of the crowd all for $25 which I could have saved. I was mad as hell. Tye and Shannon did their best to try to get my category called even tough it was skipped over 3 times for what I don't know.

Let me also say this....I'm getting so sick of these horrible judges that sit on these panels stoned and drunk out of their minds and end up wasting time and chopping people for no good reason. Some of these people, legends or not, should NEVER EVER sit on a panel.  Two of my house members were chopped after getting their tens and were brought back it was a mess!!!!!!!


Anyway after it was over I was back home disrobing and fell straight to bed.

What a weekend....


Next stop the Black Card Ball part 2 in ATL!!!!!!!!.
