What Pornstars are Wearing

Last month I went to the XRCO adult awards at The Highlands. Sadly my night got cut short but before it did I had a chance to see and ask about some of the fashion they wore. Surprisingly it was as far from the Hollywood Blvd. slut dress as you can get.

Despite wearing a completely lace thong and catsuit (yeah I know it’s sexy, so I am giving you pics) Diamond Skin isn’t your porntastic girl at all. She is actually a heavy-duty shoe-ista.

Lacey and downright working it

Diamond Skin also rocked a pair of $265 Jeffrey Campbell Shadow Spiked Booties. This makes me want to be her new BFF. The girl rocks porn and fashion?

I was happily surprised to find out that although porn stars like bling, they don’t trash it up at all. In fact these ladies were wearing the most elegant and classy necklaces I have ever seen.

I assure you these are classy ladies who know how to bring fashion with a little reaction. Brilliant, beautiful and sometimes naked.

Never under-estimate a porn star. She just might be the girl you are fighting at Barney’s over the limited edition shoes you want. Chances are she’ll win the smack down too.

Adolfo Sanchez FW 2012 lookbook, casual, comfortable and dead sexy

I love following new and unique brands and emerging designers. There is something fascinating watching the mutation of clothing and the shapes and style it takes as a designer becomes more knowledgeable and climbs higher in the industry.

I have been watching the Adolfo Sanchez line since around 2009-2010. Since then he has surpassed his peers and is conquering the competition. He has gone for the a small shop and design studio to a showroom, shows in Paris, New York and brought great fashion back to LA.

I am blessed to know such immeasurable talent and he has just sent me his uber gorgeous Lookbook for his new FW 2012 collection.

Here are some of my favorites

Below is the full LookBook.

Courtney Stodden has Furry Fetish

http://youtu.be/oyRv4J5J8i8

Courtney Stodden teen queen porn bride decided to make a quasi-furry video. In this you will see her cough up a hairball, eat cat food and make cat noises that no cat will ever make. While wearing porn heels and a pink tutu. Um, yeah, really.

Watching this made me do two things.

1st) Scream ‘What the What’ loud enough the neighbors in the next apartment building could hear me.

2nd) Laugh so loud that I know people on Hollywood Blvd a few block away heard me.

Reactions? I know you had one. Possibly violent.

Deathrock Legends 45 Grave emerge for a night in LA, 5/19 at Bar Sinister!

I try and remain unbiased with this site and write mostly about things fashion related. Tonight I must deviate from the norm and lug an amazing band who have played music longer than I have been alive.

45 GRAVE

Image

Front woman and head vox, Dinah Cancer and her most amazing band will be descending on Hollywood for one night. The reason this is more important then your average music news is two-fold. First, I have een them live and I was BEYOND impressed. I am an old, jaded music head who blew her hearing out at row 1, seat 1 of Aerosmith so this says that they really are beyond the average ‘great’.

Second, 45 Grave just came out with a new album ‘Pick Your Poison’. I was at the CD release party for this in January and it is fresh. ‘Pick Your Poison’ is akin to that up, loud party music more Misfits than ‘traditional’ death rock. It’s impressive, fucking fun and worth investing your hard-earned dollars in.

And tomorrow night 5/19 they will play the ENTIRE album.

Here’s the deal goth kittens and kats; the flyer I post below gives you $5 off at Club Bar Sinister at Boardners.

ImageThey are at 1652 N. Cherokee ave, Hollywood, CA 90036. Doors open at 10pm, dress to be goth appreciated. 45 Grave goes on at 12 midnight to accommodate all you little nocturne’s.

Best part? I will be there too. Okay not the best part, but it will be a great time and even better show. $10 at door if you don’t bring the flyer so PRINT IT OUT, even if it is teeny tiny.

See you there katatonic kittens!

Featuring vicious yet elegant designs with a nod to the past, Taxidermia is a thoroughly contemporary art jewellery and apparel collection created and constructed in London.

An extravagant statement piece, the ‘Royal Deer’ necklace is not for the shy or faint of heart.

Seem’s Angelenos are putting fashion on the map more and more everyday. An LA business owner merged with Barneys of the infamous Barneys NY to become a partial owner and a member of the board. ApparelNews.net;

As a result, Burkle will gain a seat on the board of directors. Richard Perry, head of Perry Capital, will become chairman of the board.

Uncle Karl Reigns Supreme with outlandish must see FW 2012 RTW fashion show. Middle Earth be damned!

In case you have not heard, Karl Lagerfield is a demi-god. He runs the House of Chanel creating and breaking the boundaries of ways to look at fashion.
He has done it again with an overly opulent show and gem studded runway. The towering crystals were laid on a runway tinted with purple hues that reflected in his collection. This is the dramatic arts cutting edge.
Pay Attention!

Katy Perry is ‘goth’….oh WTF?

Not so recently, Katy Perry slit from Russell Brand. We know that it was ‘rough’ and ‘hard on her’, but this PR stunt queen is going a little too far.

Shedding her ‘latex cupcake’ image Katy Perry has recently shown up at the Kids Choice awards and the ‘ENT’ red carpet looking like she just listening to her first Marilyn Manson album.

What do we think? I’m just going to jump ahead a few weeks of gossip/fashion blogs and say;

NO ONE IS BUYING IT.

Katy Perry is a pop queen wrapped up in a slice of religion. She is what Disney would have gotten if they had a fetish for latex and Snoop Dogg. I adore Katy and her ‘California Girls’ cotton candy video and cotton candy hair. There is something impossibly right about that as her ‘image’.

Too much smokey eye on this girl and black screams ‘bad PR who should be fired’. It’s not interesting, it just got a goth/glitter gay make over at Glambert’s house.

I say quit trying to emote through your makeup. Bring back our little slice of pop queen and leave the goth/fetish look to the professional’s Katy.

Santa Cruz-ing for the week

You may have noticed I have been MIA in Los Angeles culture as of late. Well this week has been a flurry of activity, but it’s been up north in Santa Cruz, California.

Santa Cruz IS a tourist town with tons of nature to see and experience. The trails up in UCSC ar made for hiking and mountain biking. The ocean is gorgeous and impressive and vegan, raw and organic eats are everywhere.

Here’s are a few highlights, for both the traditional and nontraditional traveler.

Once a year the Monarch butterflies migrate to the Natural Bridges eucalyptus groves. It is also incredibly beautiful. You have NEVER experienced nature until you have seen this. (Imagine trees that are nothing but butterflies!)

 

There is Westcliff Drive to walk on or drive along and beaches galore.

It is where surf culture started and Santa Cruz Skateboards, you got it, came to life. Skaters do flock here and love ripping up the sidewalk and curbs. There is a skate park on Westside Santa Cruz.

There is a KICK ASS boardwalk with rides and attractions. I recommend the Big Dipper, the Haunted House and anything that goes upside down. For shopping and dinner you will find a nice outdoor mall that is cute and kitsch with a side of hippie culture.

Let’s recap;

You can ride two roller coasters and get traditional cotton candy and hot dogs with your family.

And play hacky sack after renewing your medical marijuana card all in one day.

Something for the whole family.

Yes, this is what Berkeley used to be or, aka the town all the retired hippies and stoned students live in. There is a ton to do if you want to save the Earth, protect the ozone and raise awareness about tree frogs. This is the ultimate crunchy granola Cali town to relax in.

If you feel like kicking off your Louboutin’s for a week and trading them in for a pair of Vibram toe shoes, this is the town to get your hippie freak on. Hit the Boardwalk (wear GOOD walking shoes) for the day and then ditch your relatives for a late night smoke out and micro brews with some locals.

Santa Cruzing indeed.

How could you forget your Mom?!!

Happy Mother’s Day Weekend to all your rocking Mom’s out there! We love and appreciate you!!

(it’s not to late to send flowers if you forgot, officially it’s May 13th, 2012 or 2nd Sunday of May)Image
