Thing We Need In This World – Iron Man 3 Trailer in HD! #RDJr #Hot #Epic #Incredibadass

wp_1a_s

For someone so directly involved in Fashion I have to say I’m obsessed with dude movies. Things that make you squirm, the blowing up of things epic comic book heroes and super robots fighting for peace, justice and planet earth. I also like a bit of snark and witty banter.

Now who here can tell me what possesses all of those thing. Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man of course. (This question is rhetorical thanks to the poster above.)

Well unless you were watching the Superbowl this year you missed the epic trailer. Mind you half the known world was, so there is really no excuse. But for the three people who were on a plane, or not in front of a TV for this epic coolness, here it is.

Looks like RDJr/Tony Stark is heading to the DARK SIDE. Vader is totally doing a happy dance right now.

David Beckham, Guy Ritchie and H&M Present; David Beckham in his Undies! #DavidBeckham #Nude #Wet #Yesplease

I really have to give props to H&M. They are not only killing the middle market for affordable and damn good-looking clothing, but they are killing it with having David Beckham doing their ad campaign’s. Ad a talented Guy Ritchie making the video and this was a win. Also slightly hilarious.

This campaign video brings us Beckham not only half-nude, but wet in his undies looking….well like David Beckham. I love the Ferris Bueller element and the fact that they threw in a few Hollywood jokes for us In LALALand.

Abs ass and all, This is a sure win for H&M, every blogger, all women kind and of course a very, VERY luck Victoria Beckham.

Thank you David Beckham. The world is a better place because of this.


Check out the gallery below of some of H&M’s shots.

Valentine’s Gifties Galore! Erotic Roses or Art for Your Sweetheart #New #Fresh #Sensual

As fashonistas everywhere gear up for NYFW, typing up schedule’s, faxing confirmation and sending last-minute email’s to their besties, the rest of us sad suckers at home are readying ourselves for Valentine’s Day.

Whether it is a day of loathing or a day of joy for you, everyone deserves a little love on February 14th. But what do you get the woman or man who has it all?

A spa day? Not quite in the budget, and last-minute cards and candies from the drug store may get you a slap in the face anyway. Let’s try something different, interesting and slightly sensual and well within our budget.

Handmade erotic roses on a chain a la Sphinx Art.

When I first saw the promotional photos I worried the size was too large (cough).

It turned out to be a dainty and sweet little necklace. Well made, classy and definitely worth owning & wearing. Sweet, petite and a little scandalous. They come in multiple colors (mine is purple) and come in a black sheer bag. Guys don’t worry, this leaves no doubt it’s JEWELRY, not THE ring.

What about your Man? He deserves something sensual and unique.

I love how designers are doing editorial video’s these days. They have canned the hyped-up artistic view and started to get strangely fun and creative.

Take Lanvin’s new campaign video. Although it screams hot, sexy fashion Alber Elbaz decided to have some fun and do a commentary Skype style. Making Lanvin’s new campaign not just luscious preening models, but a little more interesting insight into a creative designers mind.

In Case You Missed It, Calvin Klein Superbowl Ad – Concept by Calvin Klein

I swear this had was the most hilarious Superbowl I have watched in recent years. Despite Samsung’s desperate attempt to annoy us to all hell with their ad for the NEW SAMSUNG NOTE II (yeah, we got it, screw you guys), the Superbowl, the Super Beyonce blackout and almost win for the 49ers were awesome. Of course all my chili cheese dogs, queso dip topped with beer were stopped in their tracks and became guilt because of one little advertisement.

The Calvin Klein Concept advertisement with Matthew Terry. Muscles, Abs…..more abs and underwear I wanted to remove. I wanted to hit the gym, drop my Corona, and do my TV screen. Really a damn shame they only ran this once. But that is why I am here to show you the goods.

Good job to the Sales/Marketing department on this one. You guys UBER win. Oh and so does Matt Terry for showing us how it’s done. Watch Below;

It’s All About #Geometry. SS2013 Herve Leger.

With things going the way they have this January, I can only apologize for not filling you in and writing. I do however feel caught up on health and work issues so it’s time for me to dazzle you with something special. With NYFW upon us (the 7-14th) I thought you might need a pre-fashion week fix. Luckily the demi-god designer known as Herve Leger just put his SS2013 designs on sale. And they are beyond amazing.

This years Spring/Summer collection dazzles with geometric shaping. Known primarily for his beyond sexy bandage dresses, Leger always bring something new to the table. Otherwise his collection would not be THE thing to buy and wear. This year he added intensity in geometric shaping to make his dresses have extra emphasis on your body shaping. Turning every woman into a an angular modelesque shape that flatter and make his clothes and accessories as close as you can get to wearing art.

Note the harness and the shaped pants. They really are something out of this world.

This is made for emphasis on a sexy waistline. Flattering for any shape or size.

Yes, it comes in Black as well.

And the The amazing piece by far is one of my favorites. The contours, lines with an addition of a flirty skirt make this well worth the money and pre-order.

My god it really is reminiscent of a piece of Art Nouveau. The lines both swirl and the embroidery delicate. This is modern-day grace.

Unfortunately with a whopping $12,500 dollar tag I may have to wait on buying it. Thankfully this is pre-order custom piece by Monsieur Leger.

Either way everything in this collection is worth buying and dreaming about. And dreams like this in my world, end up in my closet.
