Last Minute Halloween Rush – Where to Go on Hollywood Boulevard

Oh Halloween. My favorite time of year. Of Course.

It’s a time where every girl is allowed to dress like a slut (see: Mean Girls) and every dude gets to actually dress UP. Kids get free candy, madness ensues at house parties and everyone wins. Also much preparation goes into costuming, unless, you are one of THOSE people. Yes, a last-minute, what am I wearing, kind of guy/gal. I of course have no idea what that is alike as this holiday is religious for me, but just in case….

Two places spring to mind when shopping for last-minute costumes. Bizzy B of Hollywood and Hollywood Toys and Costumes. Bizzy B of Hollywood is at 6548-50 Hollywood Boulevard and Hollywood Toys and Costumes is at 6600 Hollywood Boulevard. A perfect two stop shop.

First stop Bizzy B of Hollywood. This place, I am a little biased with Bizzy B because I have been shopping there for 7 years. My bias is justified. Nicki Minaj’s stylist shops here, there is a huge celeb clientele including Cee Lo AND she has full costumes for girls AND BOYS.

Yes guys can find a costume here. Which is a miracle!

Bizzy B is perfect for full costumes ranging from $15-$100+ depending on what and how intricate and well made. Some are custom-made by Beatrice herself. See below;

Wonder Woman done right!

What about accessories? Bizzy B does have two accessory walls but if you don’t find it there go down the block…..

This is where Hollywood toys and Costumes comes in. Any and every accessory you have ever imagined from hair blaeach/dye/wigs/props/rhinestones/eyelashes/ball & chain/pitchforks/pom poms/tails/stuff to decorate with, THEY HAVE IT! I recently went in to look for pom pom and they had an entire wall of them. As far as accessories on the cheap, they take the cake.

I suppose you want some information? Need to call ahead and see if they have what you need.

Here’s the addresses and phone numbers;
Bizzy B of Hollywood
Address: 6548 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028
Phone: (323) 469-4309

Katy Perry Rocks the Obama Vote Fashionably (Pic/Video)

Katy Perry is a constant surprise. Whether she decides to dress up in cupcakes dresses with a blue wig, or boho chic with her new hunny John Mayer she keeps us guessing. This time she is rocking the vote, hardcore.
Katy rocked her vote last night in Nevada to a crowd of 13,000 voters wearing a sexy ballot dress at a Obama at rally last night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Katy clearly marked her dress as a vote for Obama/Biden and urged the crowd to vote early. Perry even threatened to ‘come and get you’ to the crowd if they didn’t vote. Damn Katy, careful how you rock that vote. We don’t need a ghetto fight. Romany already got a smack down in the last Presidential debate.

President Obama came out after the Perry and said he was ‘so grateful for her unbelievable performance’.

Check out the video here from Telegraph.co.uk;

 

Obama is currently on a 48 hour tour across the US addressing the swing states and trying to get the ‘last minute’ voters to key into his election ticket. With Perry on his side rocking the fashionable vote, he may just have an edge over Mitt-ens.

Are you registered to vote? Get out there and ROCK YOUR VOTE! Every vote counts and we need you to speak up and be heard.

Chanel No 5 a la Brad Pit, Part 1&2 (video)

Karl Lagerfeld is getting weirder with his old age, and so is Chanel. Brad Pitt will forever be a prime piece of yummy no matter what age, or how much he looks like a billy-goat (trim that hot man meat’s hair please).

 

These two things together?

‘There You Are”.

Happy Birthday to Buckaroo Jeff Goldblum!


-Jeff Goldblum as ‘The Fly’
Jeff Goldblum is 60 today?! Yup, sixty years old. And the disturbing part? Still hot.

Yes our rebel, gun-toting cowboy from Buckaroo Banzai is still rocking the hot at 60 years old. Not only that but he is still a WORKING actor. Talented, a gray fox, working on Glee with two movies in pre-Production AND has his own jazz band. Having seen him I can say unlike a lot of failed artists, he has talent. I know he is also an excellent pianist. I SAID pianist (gutter brain much?).

So a HUGE Happy Birthday to Jeff Golblum. From one Jew to another, Mazel Tov! We’re glad he’s still around, looks fab and at 60, is still romancing the ladies.

Work it Out Gray Fox!

McQueen SS 2013 to Start Your Afternoon

Living or dead  I will always support the house of McQueen. Before Alexander McQueen committed suicide his work was unparalleled in a world of unique, strange and beautiful designs. Now Sarah Burton has not only kept the world of McQueen alive but has offered a fresh take that fits McQueen’s world like a glove.

This year an elaborate bee themed collection hit the Paris runway with geometric shapes and classic designs reminiscent of the 60’s. Mad Men-esque? Perhaps, but always with a twist of McQueen on top. Well played Sarah Burton.

Vendors and fashionista’s it is now your time to pre-order and or drool copiously. I bring you the SS 2013 collection lookbook from Adolfo Sanchez Fashion titled, ‘A Rose in the Jungle”.

15 Minutes of AWESOME, brought to you by the Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard

Julia Gillard needs to come to the US and bring her pocket full of whoop ass.

Recently the Aussie Prime Minister had enough of Tony Abbott’s EXTREMELY misogynistic comment’s and sexual harassment of a gay cabinet member via text’s.

Julia gave a 15 minute passionate and some what scathing speech to the House of Representative’s. This made everyone pay attention except Abbott who think’s he’s special.

At the lovely Jezebel.com, they broke down some of the loveliest quotes from the Prime Minister. Here’s a few gem’s;

I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man, I will not. Not now, not ever. What i won’t stand for, what I will never stand for is the leader of the opposition peddling a double standard, a standard he has not set for members of his own front bench.

If he wants to know what misogyny looks like in modern Australia he doesn’t need a motion in the house of Representatives, he needs a mirror.

I was very offended personally the Leader of the Opposition said abortion is the easy way out.

I was offended by the sexism, by the misogyny of the Leader of the Opposition cat calling across this table at me as I sit here as prime minister [saying], ‘If the prime minister wants to make an honest woman of herself…’ something that would never have been said to any man sitting in this chair.

I was offended when he stood next to a sign that described me as a ‘man’s bitch.’

He has said, ‘If it’s true that men have more power, generally speaking, than women, is that a bad thing?’ [and] ‘What if men, by physiology or temperament, are more adapted to exercise authority or to issue command?’

He can apologise for standing next to signs [about me] saying, ‘Ditch the Witch.’

Now he is looking at his watch [which Abbott was] because apparently a woman’s spoken too long.

Here is the video and the AMAZING women right’s speech I cannot stop smiling at. GO JULIA!! (compliments of ABCNews on Youtube)

The Ginger’s have it. What can I say, you do NOT want to invoke redhead rage.

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;

New Music with Ivy Levan; Mix Her Holy Hotness, a dash of Rockabilly Rocker and Add Sass

Ivy Levan has got the goods.

Her background started as a holy hell raiser in church choir, moved into the world of mega modeling and then mixed the two for a righteous rock career.

I have to say this girl is a winner.

If you love a little something country, a whole lotta rock n roll and a sexy vixen she’s your girl. Lana Del Rey better watch her sexy siren status cause Ivy Levan is coming to steal it and can even rock to boot. Not to mention her style is slick sexy. Me-ow.

She’s got something for girls and boys too. Check out this hot video ‘C.R.E.A.M.’ with new and delish dish singer, Ivy Levan.

Let’s Go Vintage; Chanel No. 5 Advert From 1973, Catherine Deneuve by Helmut Newton

I love it when companies open their archives. Chanel recently posted this video from 1973 of a young goddess known as Catherine Deneuve advertising their perfume.

I love how all they needed was just her. She just purrs and oozes that ‘Je Ne Sais Quoi’ that is French perfection.

Jennifer Lawrence is a Pretty Bird in W Magazine

Beautiful, talented, and often killed by marauding arrows, Jennifer Lawrence is a woman of many talents. Not only that but recently she graced the cover of W Magazine black swan style.


With freshly dyed locks, she is an absolute stunner in these photos.

Despite the fact half the birds in the world are running around nude after this photo shoot I ADORE this. She has finally broken out of her pudgy little girl stage and is a stunner. PETA be damned, this feather spread is gorgeous and she has gone full peacock baby.

Marchesa SS 2013 Brings an Bollywood Inspired Look to #NYFW. Chic, Unique and Against the Trend.

Marchesa designs are something to be loved, adored, worn on EVERY red carpet during Hollywood award season and absolutely kept an eye on. This year upcoming season we will be seeing gorgeous Bollywood looks from Marchesa hitting the red carpet.

The already stunning beauty of sari’s and embellishment is enough to tantalize the eye. This is Marchesa fashion house we are talking about though and a little more magic much be created.

Marchesa added a few of their signatures to create their ‘look’ for SS 2013. With fringe, plenty of skin, gauze covered dresses with oceans of organza they created ethereal goddess on the runway.

Dreamy perfection indeed.

Take a look;

Fringe is never out of style
A dress fit for a Goddess! (Or me?)
Indian chic in pink
This devastates, and the matching bag makes it red carpet ready
Layers of luxe fringe make this perfection and just a little sassy
Dress du jour! I love gray simply because it goes with everything and everyone. Too chic.
Show stopper in blue. This dress stunned me.
Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman PLEASE take a bow. Well done!

Marchesa is stand out collection this year. Although they included a few of the color trends on runways this year, they threw caution to the wind and created art in fashion.

Marchesa is one of the best for the simple reason they create the unique, not the trend.
