Not Me, but I would like to thank the girl who took this.
Apparently so does Sonya Rykiel. Presenting hot Belgium model Hanne Gaby Odiele, Sonya Rykiel brings us a very ‘Cherry Punk’ Christmas in this short editorial viddy.
I love that designers are getting not so pretty with it and getting kinda punky. Let’s hope we see more of this, a la Cara Delevigne.
I make no excuses, nor will I ever lie about my total and complete dedication to the House of McQueen. There is virtually nothing in their collections I do not covet.
The house of McQueen just released a new scarf collection. The collection features a collaboration with iconic artist Damien Hirst. Hirst’s career reigned supreme in the UK in 90s and continues to impress, and be iconic, in the art scene.
The new collection features a nature theme with symmetrical designs in the classic McQueen skull motif. Add the effervescent talent of Sølve Sundsbø who shot the collection AND directed an editorial video for the scarves. He is by far one of the great’s in the industry who constantly produces amazing photography. I am impressed with Burton, of the House of McQueen, to tap such amazing talent.
With such beautiful representation, I am in complete submission, and awe, of this collection.
It seem’s in you are no one in the industry without a wardrobe malfunction. Whether you spilleth over a la Tara Reid, or you flash yourself coming out of the car a la Britney and Anne Hathaway, everyone has an ‘unfortunate‘ moment.
You also know (or maybe don’t because you have a life) the fabulous, star-studded, music heavy, MTV EMA’s were last night.
Located in Amsterdam (where’s Snoop Lion?), The MTV EMA’s did bring an amazing array of talented artists last night. And some wardrobe malfunctions!
First, Miley tried to steal the spotlight with camel toe…
And later at the MTV EMA’s last night by puffing a spliff on stage. We all know the real deal though. She’s rebelling against a country singin’ daddy and is well, she’s just trying too hard. She’s about as ghetto as Ariana Grande and we are getting seriously bored with her twerking.
The real star? Iggy Azalea on the red carpet, and HER wardrobe malfunction.
You all know I have nothing but respect for Iggy Azalea. She is currently my favorite hustler on the scene working with T.I., Pharrel and a bevvy of other hot hip hop stars. She’s got the booty of a goddess, is a gorgeous and very talented model, has a great sense of humor, and has a sick flow, as my roomie says. She also knows how to dress better than 90% of musicians out there having been in the fashion industry.
Wearing a gorgeous gown (still looking for the designer) on the red carpet she dazzled the crowd. Unfortunately as leggy, toned and fabulous as she is in this dress she had very little control over it and flashed everyone her very toned and well coiffed ‘PU$$Y’ (what? It’s a song reference).
Awww. You thought I was going to give you the real thing? Well I am. Click the link below if you are over 18, and don’t have your boss looking over you shoulder. It’s very NSFW.
Lately I have been mega inspired. I owe some of that to Los Angeles Fashion Week. I owe some of it to my favorite ghetto booty girl Iggy Azalea.
First she was signed to Wilhelmina Models. Then she ditched modeling for music. For years she’s been working with some of the hardest music gangsta’ in the industry. Now she’s finally owning it. And I’m loving her ratchet, booty shaking, sick-flowing ways.
I’m hooked. And you should be too.
So….
Until I can get back to you and post all the fab photos from the Octavio Carlin Show (I was front row), I’ll leave you with this.
Remember to change your life kittens! Once you go great, you never go good.
Have you ever wished your life would change?
Woke up and you lived your dreams
Baby I could help you make that change
I can show you how to do this thing

I’mma change your life (life)
Since Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’ has been following me everywhere this weekend, I just HAD TO share. This song not only kicks ass, but is a massive hit topping the charts and selling well over 11 million albums so far. Robin Thicke is the man in this butt shaking hit, but add Pharrell and you have just created a song so addictive I had to buy it.
Robin Thicke is the man, but he doubled that when he made this sick uncensored version. He quadrupled it when you realize the black hottie on the bike is his wifey. Damn, it hurts so good!
It’s VERY NSFW so don’t be playing this for your boss.
You cannot do better than hiring the geniuses that are Mert & Marcus in my book of people to shoot models. Their campaigns are brilliant, full of life, always sexy and trump the competition.
This September Mert & Marcus have taken over the cover of ‘Interview’ magazine to shoot the top supermodels in the industry. In a series of seven different covers depicting each model solo and in black & white the pictorial is striking. Inside you will find revealing confessionals from runway goddess featured. From Naomi to Daria to Linda you cannot miss buying ‘Interview’, even if it’s only for their covers.
As Labor Day weekend is upon us I find there are many things to do;
1) go to Burning Man
2) Got to pool party with mediocre food and drunks college kids
3) Go to EPIC fashion show in San Diego with Couture Gowns……
And of course I will be choosing three.
Kenneth Barlis is known for his events in the south-ish bay. His couture gowns are drool invoking and too fabulous. Not only that but designer, and personal favorite Camille Wood will be there showing her new animal inspired line. Add the beauty of San Diego and its Gaslamp District and I am off on another event covering adventure.
August 30th I will be there in spades (and a really gorgeous outfit) watching the magic happen and documenting it for all. Want to come rub shoulder with me and the other fan-tab-u-lous designers and fashion folk? Then come down! Buy tickets here;
Last night at the VMA Pre-Performance young gorgeous and 20 something Ariana Grande killed it with a beautiful performance. Despite her being a self-described ‘ball of nerves’ her performance hit the red carpet and voice was beautiful.
And so was her clothing.
You might remember, if you actually read this blog, a piece I did on the store ‘Bizzy B of Hollywood’ where they shot Magic Mike and have lingerie, costumes, menswear, fetish wear and then some. The owner has Beatrice Prochazka has been making Hollywood prettier for 12 years and continues to do so, by making custom Swarovski wear for celebrities all over the world.
One of them being Ariana Grande! That’s right. That gorgeous custom Swarovski corset was an original piece by the lovely BeatricePro/BizzyB of Hollywood herself. Every darn crystal. Beatrice also works with stars like;
Nicki Minaj, Paris Hilton, Bad Girls Club, Traci Bingham, Corey Feldman, The Girls Next Door, Cee-Lo, Ginuwine and Tank as well as creating custom pieces for performance and for the ladies, the boudoir.
Beatrice Pro and R&B Star TANK
Custom pieces are by appointment only but if you are interested in snagging one there are beautiful pre-made pieces on display in the store.
For your piece head to;
Bizzy B of Hollywood

Los Angeles, CA 90028
Hollywood Blvd and Schrader. Or go to Bseductive.com and for men go to Bseduced.com
I thought I had seen it all. Thanks to Youtube and DSquared2, I now know that I haven’t.
This very insane and unique video with Jasmine Tookes and Cara D. bring the cray-cray. Shot by the mad genius Senio Zapruder, this video not only has some of the most gorgeous pre-fall 2013 womenswear, but walks the fine line of insanity. Way to go boys, you did it again.
Enjoy the crazy below…..
What can I say but REJOICE!! ‘Applause’ is out and upon us. Feast your eyes on the newness that is Lady Gaga’s first new viddy in almost 2 years. The song is perfect GAGA but the wardrobe is just dead on effing beautiful. I’m not sure which I like better.
You may now officially cream your panties kittens. Or as Gaga says…just ‘Applause’.
That’s right Lady Gaga goodness just dropped and it’s wicked good. Welcome to the newness that it ‘Applause’. A sick beat, rife with club goodness that screams Lady Gaga and head’s back to the original fun that we fell in love with in the first place. Ass shakin’, body quaking, yes, yes, yes with a twist of top 40.
Are you on board yet? Of course you are. Just listen!
Cara Delevigne is one of the most sought after models in the industry right now.
With her 21st birthday coming on the 21st Cara talks with W magazine about modeling, dreams, her family and just plain Cara (think awkward confessional). She sheds some truthful light on who she is in this beautiful pictorial by W magazine. All eyebrows and awkwardness Cara Delevigne is embracing her inner uncool fool. With her insane Instagram that rivals most and love for drums Cara gets raw. Exposing herself to be simple, creative, extroverted, adventurous (sometimes too an extreme) and sometimes just down right lewd. Cara bares all in this gorgeous 15 picture editorial.
High fashion has my heart and shoe’s, my encompassing, undying love. As much I may love wearing high fashion shoes that scream couture, the reality is I walk. A lot. And have business meetings. And more business meetings. Followed by a red carpet event.
So…what’s a high fashion girl to do when she needs to combine functional with fabulous all in one day?
Crocs be damned, and flip-flops shelved. Very Lovely Soles have come to my rescue with cute, chic flat’s that can cross over from me walking 3 miles to a business meeting.
The brainchild of designers Vanessa Seide and Rachel Traylor, Very Lovely Soles are gorgeous, simple, clean in design and most importantly, COMFORTABLE. With a combined 30+ years in the footwear industry these ladies combined their talents and created a winner in the land of footwear.
I love these embellished flat’s in slate. They have just the right amount of class. I can mix them with my insane sense of style.
(Added bonus: If I am wearing this towards the end of fashion week I won’t get nasty stares from my designer friends. Yes they are that awesome.)
I’m sold!
Which one’s are your favorites?
How to know you have the right flats? They come with a tiny hummingbird logo to remind you how sweet they really are. Too cute. My Japanese friends would label these super ‘Kawaii’ aka too cute for words.
Now for the sad news….
They are only available in Larchmont, New York and selected boutiques, OR…..ONLINE. Hooray for online. We love web shopping. So stop crying and get out your credit card ladies it’s time to go online shoe shopping (again…hooray).
Click the shoes below and get a pair online. They are selling out fast!
As Cyndi Lauper tackles Broadway with her new notorious musical ‘Kinky Boots’ her gorgeous face is everywhere. Not only has she scored a lead on Broadway but she also conquered a photo shoot as MAC’s new ‘Viva Glam’ spokeswhore with an almost nude, very skinny, Lady Gaga.
Check out these two new photo shoots of Cyndi Lauper looking too fabulous for everyone (including Gaga)!
