“She can’t walk and chew gum at the same time”

The editorial below featuring Gisele Bundchen is getting kind of old but I forgot to post it on here when I first saw it. Honestly, if anybody can walk in those ankle breakers (I don’t know if its at all possible, do you? There looks to be about a foot worth of heel!) while chewing [...]

The First Lady of The Dance Floor

Lady Gaga is absolutely obnoxious. That’s why I like her and to think that she used to be a songwriter ie. someone who worked behind the scenes. Today, Lady G is one of the biggest pop stars in the world, she gets to wear leotards in public and is an artist that no one would [...]

British newcomer Roksanda Ilincic has created an almost gothic feel to the design with the dark lips and jetblack hair Whereas Michael Kors offers a more casual feel to the metallic color with simple make-up and beautiful pieces of jewelery The Marc Jacobs dress below was worn [...]

Emma Watson in Teen Vogue

The Burberry ads featuring Ms. Watson were alright. However, the photos which were taken for Teen Vogue are incredibly impressive. The color contrasts are very nice and I especially like how the reds play off the purple colors. Ms. Watson’s youthful and playful appearance is striking too and in some of the photos, such as [...]

“It’s borderline pornographic”

Caution: Graphic Content featured below That is what Lisa Marchese (whom is a marketing specialist) said when interviewed by the Daily News in reference to the Calvin Klein ad above. I say to her, “YOU ARE BORDERLINE RIDICULOUS. YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME?!” I don’t know what is borderline pornographic about the ad above. They’re [...]

Dolce & Gabbana Does Marilyn

Thanks to Molly Sims, these Dolce & Gabbana designs caught my eye and interest.  Take a look: I am in awe. I absolutely adore the dresses but also the proportioned butterfly-shaped shoulders. I also feel that the hot pink colors mixed with the black and white colors are very powerful. You can view the rest [...]

Honeymoon Hotel

This morning, I woke up. I rolled over and opened my eyes. In front of my face lay a brown, creepy, large spider. I was so scared that I instantly woke up and (sorry, folks) killed it with the newest issue of Time Magazine. I showered, ate breakfast (which consisted of a cup of coffee, [...]

Plastic Dreams

Until today, I didn’t think that it was at all possible to create shoes like high heels simply out of soft plastic. However, I stumbled upon Melissa shoes and they seem to be designed from just that! The shoes are created by transforming plastic spheres in to … Well, shoes. The plastic is manufactured in [...]

Double standards

The photo above is of The Gossip singer Beth Ditto. After she posed for this cover, the feature director of British GQ, Alex Bilmes, called her a “porker”,  ”a fat lesbian” and stated that fashion editors are “stupid” for liking her. He says that she is a poor example for young women, yet what example [...]

David Beckham for Armani

Like his wife, Victoria Beckham, Mr. Beckham is yet again posing for Armani & the pictures speak for themselves. Despite his odd hairstyle & weird prop/rope I believe he’s gorgeous and I love how they didn’t photoshop out his body hair. His tattoos are incredible too. Actually, who am I kidding? The entire campaign is [...]
