10/15/2012 Maggie Barry & Michael Antonio Shoes Fashion Show. #LAFW #SS2013 #Stunning (photo/video)

I am a Michael Antonio Shoes fan girl. For a long time I have been wearing, toting and secretly adoring their shoes. I love the style, grace, comfort and sexy they bring to my petite feet. Quite possibly, I dream of Michael Antonio shoes, because they are not only wonderful to wear but a late night fantasy (shhh it’s my dirty little secret).

Maggie Barry is a creative genius, bringing imagination to life. Her clothing has been worn by stars who walk on air and want art in fashion as much as she does. She created Cher’s famous leather thong outfit from her ‘Turn Back Time’ video and she works, and plays with such famous names as Lady Gaga, Miss J. Alexander (ANTM) and uses singer and model Morganne Picard as her spokesmodel for her brand.

LA Fashion Week on Monday, October 15th was a visual collaboration brought together by both of these artists & designers to create a step away from traditional fashion to bring Fashion fusion/footwear to life for Maggie Barry and Michael Antonio’s SS 2013 show in downtown’s nightspot, Exchange LA.

This brought designers, stylists, fashionistas, actors, actresses, fashion/event photographer, trend watchers and the artistic diva’s of the night out.

I ran into Eric of Prep Jerks whose business as a stylist and fashion forward man is booming. Keep an eye on him here http://www.prepjerks.com. He’s got a taste for business, design and fashion that is unparalleled. Go Prep Jerks!

The collection was stunning, eclectic, bright, beautiful, unique and I loved every moment. I ran into friends (Vikki Lizzie, Sabrini Paridisi) saw a freak chic ladies from acting (Bai Ling, Phoebe Price) and loved the sleek futuristic runway clothing and shoes. From the flash to atmospheric after party, this event was a win/win.

Let’s take a look at who and what showed up,

A very HUGE thank you to Bob Degadillo for use of his photos!! He always makes me look gorgeous

Yes men dressed well too. Kilt’s are ALWAY in.
Showing shoes to Eric of Prep Jerks. Available at Bizzy B of Hollywood.
Loved her outfit, classic black with perfect bow topper.
This is how to steal the show. Greatest hat I have ever seen as well. unfortunately it’s a New York city one-of-a-kind find. Sorry ladies.
Best guys to party with. Over bar the bar these guys were cracking me up.
LA girls
Packed!
The most fabulous jacket there. Missing in photo, the sequins attached to this were iridescent.
The show ended with a giant dancing orb

The show tapped into an amazing visual of light with a cross of adult animation come to life. Think Aeon Flux done right. I have to commend and recommend checking out Maggie Barry for those who haven’t seen her art and fashion. The woman is beyond a visionary.

Check out the runway video below (I was in an uncomfortable position making, however it somehow made great footage).

From the Mouth of Unkle Karl, “Model’s are NOT that Skinny”. (video too)

I love Karl Lagerfeld, his style and how he and Choupette have clawed their way to be emperor and empress of fashionlandia.

Recently my white-headed Unkle Karl let out another gem.
This of course is AFTER offending Pippa Middleton re: her face, and singer Adele by calling her fat (he later said he meant Lana Del Rey).

This time the subject; Anorexic models. When asked about working with Anorexic models being a problem, his reply is was simple; Anorexia isn’t the problem, fat girls are. *headsmack*

Karl was quoted in the Huffington Post as saying;

“The story with anorexic girls — nobody works with anorexic girls. That has nothing to do with fashion. People who have that, they have problem with family and things like this. There are less than 1 percent of anorexic girls, but there are over — in France, I don’t know about England — over 30 percent of girls who are big, big, overweight.”

Oh Karl, when will you stop? We know you don’t like bigger girls. After all working with underweight models IS your job. But…having had problems with anorexia himself you think he would be a little kinder when it comes to weight issues.

Karl you are 79, and have earned his bitch wings in fashion, but remember ethics and morality in interviews my dear. It’s called being diplomatic.

Snoop Dogg’s Reason’s to Vote PrObama, Or Something Like a List

I don’t know if it;s the last of the flu hanging on that made this hilarious or the fact that Snoop was so damn high when he wrote this. Either way it’s a winner!

Snoop DOGG’s (you are not a Snoop Lion of Zion in the public’s eyes’, keep that private baby. That’s too much Puff Daddy shit for me) too awesome list on reason’s not to vote for Romney and to vote for Obama;

Although I actually watch the debate’s on politic’s I am in agreement with, ‘That motherfucka’s name is Mitt‘, and probably, “Obama looks like he can fight‘.
Thoughts on this divine piece of writing?

Chanel SS 2013 For The Win!

We all know Karl Lagerfeld is relentless, superior, eccentric and bit of freak chic. With this years SS 2013 collection on a runway dotted with wind tunnels and eco fab, he is now insurmountable aka no one can bring it like he does.

Recreating the 80’s-90’s with a new and fresh twist Karl Lagerfeld focused on material and recreation of shape for SS 2013. Always an original he crossed pattern with shape making the figure less of a focus and focusing on big, bulky, large and fab! Always an original, he even added a little humor with his own take on obtuse bags, giving the house of Chanel a complete WIN!

Let’s take a look shall we;

(Forgive the late posting darlings, I am felled by the evilest of fever flu’s. If I don’t make sense chalk it up to my fever of 100 F)

Lindsay Lohan Assaulted in NYC Hotel Room! The Dirty Details on Christian LaBella.

Poor Lindsay cannot get a break! Whether she is having a hard time, crashing cars, being chased by paparazzi, Lindsay is always under scrutiny and a heck of a mess. This time however it was NOT her fault.

Lindsay had been sadly, caught up as an easy mark by Christian LaBella Republican Congressional Staffer for He works for Rep. John Shimkus and is the nephew of comedian Heather McDonald.

LaBella posted a picture of him and Paul Ryan on his Facebook

Lohan had met up with Christian LaBella at 1OAK. Supposedly Christian LaBella was a little starstruck and started up a conversation. Turns out Miss Lohan invited him up to hang out in her hotel room at the NYC Union Square W Hotel where she was staying to hang out.

Around 6 am she took LaBella’s phone and became upset because he had been secretly taking pictures of her all night and was emailing them to friends.

LaBella got violent when she wouldn’t give back the phone and he escalated things. Lindsay was thrown down on the bed and scratched by LaBella. She got away, locked herself in the bathroom after the assault and waited until she could make a break for it out of her 15th floor sweet with Claus Hjelmbak.

Then it got uglier;

When the “Freaky Friday” star and her hunky pal began walking back up the stairs, they again encountered LaBella, sources said.

She claimed that he choked her from behind and threw her to the floor before Hjelmbak yanked him away, cops said. Lohan pulled the fire alarm for help as he fled, police said.

Cops who responded spoke to Lohan and began looking for LaBella, who was trapped in the stairwell because the alarm had disabled the elevators.

Whoa. I’m going to sway a little here and say Lindsay REALLY did not deserve that insanity and LaBella just got labeled as a full grade asshole. Sadly, the assault charges were ‘dropped’.

Hmmm, I wonder if that has anything to do with being a Congressional staffer? I guess LaBella just dodged his first scandal thanks to ‘connections’. He’ll do fine in politics.

Watch your back Lindsay and stick with your work hunny.

This is the second time the NYPD has been called in to ‘deal’ with a Lohan situation. The first being a minor car accident involving the actress. Let’s hope it’s the LAST time too.

Let’s hope Lindsay is a little more careful while she is in New York filming.

 

Jean Paul Gaultier Takes Back the 80’s and Brings the Fierce, SS 2013 Collection (video/gallery)

I admit I am a huge fan of 80’s music. All things one hit wonder I have on my iPod and of course I am a ridiculous Bowie fan. I am also a HUGE Jean Paul Gaultier fan.

When these two things coincide and come together we have JPG’s SS 2013 collection.

This season he conquered eccentric costume clothing for SS 2013 and took the 80’s back. Jean Paul Gaultier re-created something that was both an homage and a new look at an old glamorous style with geometric shapes, sheer clothing and dashes of monochromatic mixed with blinding and beautiful color prints.

As usual he conquered Paris Fashion Week SS 2013 with everything Gaultier. With KISS in the front row causing quite a stir he started the show with fierce 80’s inspired suits, complete with sexy cut outs and ending with Amanda Lear and a cavalcade of sexy man beasts in mesh outfits sporting sky-high platform heels (not boots, heels).

Check out the full unedited runway video below;


And the gallery of all the looks below thanks to the illustrious Style.com

No wonder this man is one of my top five favorite designers. His insane quality, design, style and vision most definitely set him apart.

SS 2013 Dolce and Gabbana’s Platforms and Prints! Retro 60’s Africanique Chic with a Side of Grecian Goddess #funkalicious

Dolce and Gabbana never cease to amaze me.

I believe they are the one design house that is consistently creating fashion that is wearable art. Playful, chic, unique, specialized and always with a twist they outdo themselves every season, creating something most can’t even imagine as much as visualize and make.

Check out some of the over the top, brightly colored beach, Grecian & Caribbean print chic they brought to life;

Backstage, retro stripes and Grecian inspiration for SS 2013 D&G line

All hail the duo known as Dolce and Gabbana!

They are ALWAYS straight up fun. I hate stuffy designers who take themselves too seriously and these two always leave the show goers gasping and the runway smiling.
