I don’t think there is a single song I have ever disliked by David Guetta. He has been the mix master to my soul since around 2000 something and he has ‘it’ factor up the yin yang.
To get you inspired and get your Monday freak on I thought I would share a gem. It’s ‘Play Hard ‘featuring Ne-Yo and Akon. Even if the song ate it the video is worth watching.
No damn worries. The song is magic and the video ought to get you started the right-wrong way this morning.
Slam your coffee and put on your headphones because we’re about to bust it ought Guetta style. Video is SFW, BUT has twerking w a side of crunk. Beware the evil boss who doesn’t like booty shakin’ and sick dancers.
I f you haven’t given to charity this year, here’s your chance to become a key player in philanthropy in Los Angeles.
The awesome folks over at Michelle PR sent me this. Being a huge fan of charitable causes I wanted to share this, suggest it and push strongly that you go and partake.
The drive is for ‘Meals on Wheels’, which, I have actually donated to thankyouverymuch.
Meals on Wheels was created to distribute a nice, healthy, hot meal to Senior Citizens who are home-bound and can’t prepare food or go to the market themselves in Los Angeles county. We’re talking about the your grandparents here so PAY ATTENTION.
The event will take place on April 21st. There are two ways you can help
1) Be a rider. The great part is riders get free schwag bags that include;
a Junk Food tee,
Which we adore being fashion addicts on this site,
a Cart for a Cause Cook Book, a St. Vincent Meals on Wheels angel pin and more for taking time to raise awareness for this important cause. Are you hooked? I am!
2) Be an attendee. With celebrity chef, Michael Fiorelli hosting this, you know you want to go. Tickets are $50 and that is a small amount to give for a charity. Because charity is AWESOME (and tax deductible)
In the past charitable events have raised enough money to distribute 25,000 meals a year for ‘Meals on Wheels’ so yes, you will be making a difference. If you can’t be a rider there is hope for you. You can attend this event by buying tickets on eventbrite HERE;

If you haven’t acquainted yourself with up and coming designer Monika Chiang, now is the perfect time to. Having just received an email about her fabulous shoes I thought I ought to give her website a quick spin. Always, a great idea for a new Spring/Summer wardrobe, and bad idea for my bank account. Because….I want everything! But instead I’ll share a few key pieces I love.
The “LAVA SWAROVSKI STONE NECKLACE, BLACK”
This necklace oozes charm, style and a classic chic with a twist. The black lava chain gives it an industrial feel while the Swarovski classes it up enough to wear to a nice function. Absolutely a statement piece his screams little black dress and should be paired with something as fabulous as…..
These shoes. These shoes that I am DYING for.
Lace-up sexy with a high heel to keep you above the rest the “IMENA LACE UP SANDAL, BLACK” screams La Femme Nikita. If James Bond ever turned int a woman she would bust these out. Seductress? Stiletto Sexy? Head turner? All of the above. I adore shoes so of course these are a must have on my list.
However, I am a woman on the go. I need to look smashing while being a little functional. Nothing says business like a black leather brief a la bag. I need a purse that screams business bitch, yet charms the man I am with.
Thankfully my search is over with the ever charming, “GABON LEATHER MESSENGER BAG”.
This is functional, classy and is wearable for casual dates with jeans and those^ heels (Imena has my heart). The Gabon has extra zippers for an ‘edge’ and is easily carried or worn cross shoulder if you have to hit the subway.I love the look leather gets after elongated wear. Leather is forever and can last through numerous business meetings, airline flights and keep me looking classy.
Have I piqued your interest my fashionista’s? Good. Go shop the Monika Chiang collection here:
I love D Squared. An Italian clothing collaboration by twins Dean and Dan Caten (born Dean and Dan Catenacci). Based in Milan these twins are not only fraternal but identical and specialize in the ultra-modern and chic. What’s not to love about D2? Nothing. They are perfection, embodied in fashion and willing to prove it.
I present to you their new campaign video for 2013, “Behind the Mirror”. With of course little hot Dean and Dan action in it a la cameo. In drag?!! You’ll have to watch this gender eff for yourself. Beautifully shot and visually delicious by the geniuses at Mert & Marcus and the double D’s never looked so good.
Marc Jacobs is sitting pretty in his 50th year, celebrating his birthday this year, which is April 9th), by releasing his new fragrance pour homme, “BANG”. The title says it all.
Sitting pretty is right.
Over the years Marc Jacobs has given us fashion, fosse (90’s), fatty(mid 2000’s) and now ripped to the gills and fabulous 50.
With the release of Bang, Marc decided to show of his gorgeous sculpted body in his new fragrance ad. He also recently began tweeting pics of himself on twitter and instagram, looking too fit for words. What does this mean? It means Marc isn’t slowing down but plans on wearing more man kilts, lace dresses and showing us what he is made of a la Karl Lagerfeld. Who says age is a drawback? It’s looking mighty fine to me.
Congrats Marc Jacobs on your super fine fifty years. We’re looking forward to you clothing, scents and more spectacular instagram’s.
Beyoncé, super queen of the Superbowl is on a roll. I haven’t heard anything super hot from Miss Beyoncé since her collab with the GAGA. I was beyond impressed with her act at Superbowl (especially meltdown 2013 from her electrical prowess) but to follow-up with this song. Well I won’t bow down but I will give hella props. Listen to this and get your freak on kittens.
And here’s lyrics in case you were wondering….
[Hook]
I’m out that H-town
Coming, coming down
I’m coming down dripping candy on the ground
H, H-town, town, I’m coming down
Coming down dripping candy on the ground
[Verse 1]
I know when you were little girls
You dreamt of being in my world
Don’t forget it , don’t forget it
Respect that, bow down bitches
I took some time to live my life
But don’t think I’m just his little wife
Don’t get it twisted, get it twisted
This my shit, bow down bitches
[Bridge]
Bow down bitches, bow bow down bitches
Bow down bitches, bow bow down bitches
H-town vicious, h-h-town vicious
I’m so crown, bow bow down bitches
[Hook x2]
I been on, I been on, I been on
Tell me who gone take me off
Take me off, take me off, take me off
[Verse 2]
Rolling high, leather and wood
Keep it trill, that’s what good
Kiss my momma, show that love
Pop them bottles in that club
I heard your boo was talking lip
I told my crew to smack that trick
Smack that trick, smack that trick
Guess what they did, smack that trick
Gold everything, gold ass chain
Gold ass rings, gold ass fangs
You can see me stunt when you turn on ya screen
You can see me stunt when you turn on ya screen
I’m bigger than life, my name in the lights
I’m the number one chick, ain’t need no hype
The capital b means, I’m ’bout that life
The capital b means, I’m ’bout that life
[Hook]
[Outro]
I remember my baby hair with my dookie braids
Frenchy’s, Boudin in the parking lot
Shout out to Willie D
I was in that Willie D video when I was about fourteen, looking crazy
Shout out Pimp C
You know we used to sneak and listen to that UGK
Didn’t do your girl but your sister was alright, damn
In ya homeboy’s Caddy last night
Hold up, Texas trill
H-town going down, man
This years collections have been over run with blasts from the pasts in design and color from the 20’s-1960’s. Colors have mostly been light blue, Cobalt blue, Persimmon and Burnt Umber with a dash of lime and forest green (Calvin Klein collection).
Thankfully a break in the horizon of fashion has come with the always dashing and daring, Gareth Pugh.
His collection steps out of the norm to bring non-traditional minimalism. Full of monochromatic modernist beauty with a dash of midnight blue. An ethereal quality to his designs based more on draping and material instead patterns, and flashes of 60’s jewels and glitz.
As always his collection sets a futuristic tone that has dominated Paris Fashion Week.
I admit that most vices in life I have given up. However there are two things I will never let go of. Chocolate and television. And wine. And….oh blast let’s get back to television.
If you are like me you are addicted to every fashionably interesting show out there. I am still fuming there isn’t more ‘It’s a Brad, Brad, Brad World’ and am addicted to the new show The Face. I’m rooting for Coco seeing as she is sassy and quirky. Well Gods be praised a new show has popped up and it looks fabulous. And it’s set in L.A. which makes me an even bigger fan.
Enter Frock Stars L.A. with the ever wicked and cool owner Doris Raymond, owner of The Way We Wore. One of the hottest vintage shops in L.A. County which dresses some of the hottest celebrities (Adele, Dita Von Tease).
How can I describe the owner? She’s fashionable, savvy and a vintage GODDESS. She knows whats up and down and she should be interesting to watch.
Add a fab staff of vintage divas in the know. Styles and designers they carry and hope to find range from the 1920’s to the 1980’s. And with a constant search for ‘the holy grail’ of vintage, it’s a super win.
Starting out London Fashion Week full force, Alice Temperley took a classic 40’s inspired look adding dashes of golds and blue to accentuate the long linear figures. Drawing heavily on Art Deco and early sixties chic, Temperley still managed to present a very modern look including the ever trendy over sized jackets, boatneck and high collars we have seen all over runways this year.
Her full length gowns wrecked the runway this year with elongated silhouettes. I can see Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton or some other ethereal goddess wearing these to award season. They are chic in design, geometric shaping and linear quality making any woman look tall and lean.
Bravo Miss Temperley.

We all know I have BIG love for Lana Del Rey. Despite her odd little lip augmentation fluke, bitch is perfect. Sexy, sultry chanteuse who knows how to work every angle of the camera from near or far. Especially in no pants wearing a pink angora sweater. Add some cool looking retro people and a little man in a swank suit (midget, dwarf? I am so not PC) and we have a win. AGAIN. For H&M. Is there nothing they can’t do these days?
We all know how to work Valentine’s Day for the woman in your life. Chocolate’s, lingerie, card’s, romantic dinners and the favorite, Jewelry. Let’s face it, buying for the woman in your life is easy. Valentine’s Day is 90% geared to the feminine persuasion and we get happy and romantically stupid over the smallest things (see jewelry).
This real question for the ladies. What do you get your boyfriend? A tie (see NO)? A geek toy (they already own it and haven’t told you)? Golfing lessons with Tiger Woods? Ok, he might like that one. Real dedication and love are none of these things ladies. What he really want’s is a date night involving a totally ludicrous, sexual, violent guy flick. And I have just the thing.
Sushi Girl is everything he ever wanted.
Gratuitous violence. Yeah there is plenty of that thanks to Tony Todd, Andy Mackenzie, Sonny Chiba and the most AWESOME Danny Trejo. Sex? A hot Courtney Palm leads as the ‘Sushi Girl’ laid out as myotaimori (a sushi table/girl). Witty Banter? Add Mark Hamill as the toady, simpering and wicked smart Crow. A secret knight in shining armor with a penchant for nose candy, James Duval. And our hero? Fish played by the ever awesome Noah Hathaway.
What happens when you put together a crew of seasoned professionals like Tony Todd who has a masterful career spanning 20+ years, Andy Mackenzie who has been in over 70 film and TV features ( from The Mentalist, CSI, True Blood), Mark Hamill who will forever be known for his awesome portrayal as young Skywalker, James Duval who will forever be Frank the Rabbit from Donnie Darko in my mind and Noah Hathaway who known his portrayal as Atreyu in the Never Ending story?
Mother-effing-magic.
How do I know ‘HE’ will like it? I was lucky enough to catch a screening at the Directors Guild. It made me squeamish, happy, sad and scream bad ass at the end. It’s been called Tarinto-esque and it really is. I’ll describe this feature as a ‘happy slice of hell’.
But why trust me? Check out the trailer here;
So ladies what do we do here in LA for the man we love? Take him to a rocking, socking, blow ’em up, hit you where it counts feature. The great part? It’s at Mann’s Chinese Theater and you can buy tickets online. And guys…if she doesn’t buy it…go now before it’s too late.
What are you waiting for? It’s a limited engagement playing from the 2/8-2/14.
Go buy here.
Happy Chinese New Year to the Many wonderful Asians in my life.

Laziness and complacency are never good during a Snake year so let’s get motivated for a happy year that includes achieving goals above and beyond what you thought you could do.

The Overall Trend in 2013 Year of Snake
The 2013 Snake of year has ability to read complicated situation quickly in a controlled manner which is good for business. Signing documents of any kind requires very thorough attention. 2013 horoscope predict it is a good year to begin important detail work. Research and investigation are supported.

Prabal Gurung has stepped out to be a celebrity favorite in recent years. His clothing has something for everyone. From Michelle Obama to red carpet divas, his collection is both surrealistic art and feminine grace.
This year Prabal Gurung has taken the theme of military colors style that we see in so many collection’s and mixed it with draped material that flow against the body. Not forgetting well-placed fur trim, casual sweaters and and classic military chic crossed with with a vintage look of class from the 1940’s. These are apparent in every collection for Fall/Winter 2013. So what makes Prabal Gurung stand out above the many collections we have seen?
He crossed it with his personal touch including; well placed cut outs and the ever influential Gothic element, creating a striking collection. The biggest selling point? His above the knee buckle boots that are to die for.
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.
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;
