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;

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.
I love following the careers of designers who are friends. Seeing them struggle to make it in to such a tight-knit world. Then next day showing designs on #NYFW. This bitch is proud.
Adolfo Sanchez is no longer someone to watch for but to be watched. His designs cross the border from pret-a-porter to couture. Constantly ahead of the trend and never afraid to create unique and fresh designs.
This year Adolfo Sanchez showed his collections at the Chelsea Piers with a collection that reflected on the organic with elements of the ocean. Staying on trend we saw monochromatic mixed with dashes of coral, and tons of sexy skin.
Below is the entire collection for SS 2013.

This has to stop. Every time a Hollywood producer makes a remake, a kitten dies. Ok, maybe not, but I die a little inside.
The newest victim; Robocop. According to ComingSoon.net these are the newest pictures being released of the ‘new’ and very much NOT improved Robocop.
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. I will say this in its favor;
1) In this global economy everyone needs a paycheck…badly. (They are filming this in Toronto, which is like Canada stealing our cash/jobs for our film industry. I ❤ Canadians but it is bad form by the producer.)
2) Great cast co-starring Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, and Samuel L. Jackson, as well as Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Williams, Jay Baruchel, Jennifer Ehle, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste. With Joel Kinnamin as Robocop (Game of Thrones, for you geeks).
Joel Kinnamin is a Swedish-American from Stockholm, so I can’t throw shade (I’m Swedish, gotta support your people). However he was utterly unlikable on ‘Game of Thrones’s’ (- one point). But to he IS dating Olivia Munn (+ point there).
I have mixed feelings about this production. Great cast, possibility for good movie. Destroying my childhood like this, well EVERYONE has had enough. Plus, the suit looks more Alien vs. Predator than Robocop.
I’m 50/50 on this. How are you feeling about the new Robocop and suit?
I’m sure somewhere someone loves Chris Brown in the UK, but thankfully it’s none of my friends. And obviously one of them, or a very AWESOME women’s rights advocate decided to speak up on the ever-so-violent Chris Brown.
(He not only smashed up Riri’s face but a window at the ‘Good Morning America’ Show)
Well Played Angry Citizen
The label states,”WARNING, Do not buy this album. This man BEATS women.”, and windows, don’t forget windows.
Is it just me or does Chris Brown look like he’s heading down Lil Wayne Street with a stop at 50 Cent Way? Either way as a women’s rights advocate I approve. I also hope they ship those stickers to the US. We could use a little more awareness in this country.
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 styleA dress fit for a Goddess! (Or me?)Indian chic in pinkThis devastates, and the matching bag makes it red carpet readyLayers of luxe fringe make this perfection and just a little sassyDress 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.
Mark your calendars New York fashonistas and socialites. Adolfo Sanchez Designs will be showing his new SS 2013 line at the Chelsea Piers on September 12th. Get tickets now as it will be PACKED.
Every woman and gay man I know just drooled and rolled their eyes into the back of their head for one fabulous reason a la H&M. David Beckham, in underwear.
I want to thank my gays at Towelroad.com for making me aware of this. My Saturday is now complete. So is yours. Gaze upon the beauty that is Beck’s in underthings.
Thanks to H&M for bringing this delish dish campaign. I not only like your clothes but you give me fabulous things to admire on Saturday night.
Science never ceases to amaze me hen it comes to new findings and strange animals, reptiles, amphibians, etc. It’s icky, gross and often VERY threatening. This is fine when it is extinct.
I recently had the chance to view documentary on ‘Titanoboa’. I figured it might be a fun romp into Docu land with a few added giggles. Instead it has turned me into a creature obsessed.
This colossal snake is closely related to the Amazonian Boa. This is frightening because it exists today. However Titanonoa died 60-63 Million years ago. The reason I preceded with the picture above is that Titanoboa was a MONSTER that could devour a large human without blinking.
According to Wikipedia.org;
By comparing the sizes and shapes of its fossilizedvertebrae to those of extant snakes, researchers estimated T. cerrejonensisreached a maximum length of 12 to 15 m (40 to 50 ft),[4] weighed about 1,135 kg (2,500 lb),[1] and measured about 1 m (3 ft) in diameter at the thickest part of the body.[5][6]
For Americans, that is 50 feet long, 2+ tons, its width larger/higher than your bed or kitchen table. And able to eat small mammals in a single bound with jaws that open to the size of a doorway in your house.
Still not sure how big it would be, check out these photos from The Smithsonian Exhibit
Mother’s hide your children! No, just kidding. However there is a lot to be learned from this behemoth. I just scientists don’t get a bug up their buttt and decide to clone this bad boy.

Now to move on to something slightly more alive and slightly more disgusting.; The Penis Snake
Yes, it’s real and it’s really, really gross looking.
This limbless amphibian is the newest find in the Amazon. The Amazon is full of new undiscovered species and plants. This happens to be one of them.
According to the Inqisitor.com, they found this beast in Brazil.
Monga Bay reports that the strange creature was discovered while the Madeira River was being drained as part of a damn building project in Brazil’s Madeira River. Biologist Julian Tupan said that six penis snakes were found at the bottom of the river.
The amphibious creature is know as Atretochoana eiseltiis. The scientists ho have found it and studied it tried calling it a ‘Floppy Snake’. Unfortunately due to its, um, happy face, shape color and size, it was re-dubbed ‘Penis Snake’.
I personally am fan of going PG-13 with this little guy, and calling it a trouser snake to soften the blow.
Bill Murray is after all a ‘serious’ actor now. Ever since ‘Lost in Translation’, we lost Bill Murray. That sweet, sideways smile, dirty mouth, quippy one-lining kind of guy has set sail.
Thankfully, we still have Akroyd. Dan Akroyd had partied with Humpty AND Tupac in the 90s. He has written, produced and played some of the most amazing characters in cinema history, including Elwood Blues. The man is a genius;
I will give Akroyd the benefit of my doubt. He is dedicated, slightly funky, a genuine classy weirdo and I appreciate that.
When I heard they were doing a ‘Ghostbusters 3’, I admit to cringing REALLY HARD. I seem to be having my childhood bastardized. ‘Dukes of Hazard, ‘Love Boat’. What is next? Rigggggghtht ‘Beverly Hills Cop 20” with Eddie Murphy (desperate). Maybe they should do a ‘Kojak’ movie next. Ugh.
I think if anyone can save this, Akroyd can. After all he got Digital Underground to be in, ‘Nothing But Trouble’. He does have swagger.
Here is a small excerpt of an Interview with Akroyd from Metro.co.uk;
M: Is Ghostbusters 3 finally happening?
D: Yes, we’ve got a brilliant new writer on it and we’ll be passing the torch on to a new generation. We’re working on it to make it just right to satisfy our fans. I’m confident we’ll be in production in the next year.
M:It’s been a long process, hasn’t it?
D: Yes, but now we’ve got the studio on side. We’ve tried a few concepts which weren’t right but now we’ve got a good structure and will make it happen.
M: Is Bill Murray doing it?
D: No, I can tell you he won’t be involved.
M: How do you feel about that?
D: It’s sad but we’re passing it on to a new generation. Ghostbusters 3 can be a successful movie without Bill. My preference would be to have him involved but at this point he doesn’t seem to be coming and we have to move on. It’s time to make the third one.
Every good cinephile knows Robert Rodriguez’s ‘Machete’ is a masterpiece. Between having Lohan play coked-up party girl (aka herself) and Danny Trejo being masterful as Machete, it is hands down brilliant. My favorite line? ‘Machete don’t text’.
Brilliant.
Saints be praised Rodriguez is at it again. This time with ‘Machete Kills’. Even more amazing Lady Gaga is in it;
Holy amazeballs! Dark Night be damned. Not only is Gaga in this but she is amazing to work with.
Robert tweeted the very pretty picture above with this message;
he tweeted: “I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills , she kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away!
Look’s like Rodriguez pulled together a cast worth of an Oscar.
He cast Charlie Sheen as the US president in the movie! Mel Gibson, Sofia Vergara, Amber Heard, Jessica Alba, Michele Rodriguez and Vanessa Hudgens will be acting in this as well. Oh hell yes and goddam. Excuse my sailor mouth but this will be fucking good.
The real question is…Danny Trejo is 20+ years sober. How ON EARTH will he be handling Sheen (meth addict), Lindsay Lohan (everything addict), Jessica Alba (ice bitch) and Michele Rodriguez (alcoholic/possible recovering)?!!
I guess what they say is true, he must be one of the nicest guy’s in the business. Here’s to MACHETE KILLS and another glorious movie with star-studded fun. Viva Rodriguez!!
Models, bottle, Eden Hollywood, W Magazine and Kami Shade. Let’s make this passion for fashion rock kittens. I’ll be there covering backstage and then some bringing you runway delights. It will be up Monday (HUGE blog). Wait for it OR go to it!
As August set’s in, it is time to start shopping for your fabulous and very luxe wardrobe. As I spoke of before fur covered everything is all the rage and DKNY has already released its first set of ‘hair’ inspired accessories. Add ‘Apocalypse Now’ weather in New York City and winter is looking extra tough.
The question raises well-groomed eyebrows everywhere. What to do, and where to shop?
Idra Alta Moda darling!
I know I have sung their praises before. Now that I have met and spoken with the owner, Jessica Soifer, I am in LOVE. This company devastates me, along with their jackets, capes, ear muffs, etc.
Feeling the need for classy, sexy, furry? You can even shop for your hunny with their MENSWEAR LINE (gasp)! Check out their Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook;
Like what you see? So do I!
I am literally ‘In Love’. That last jacket WILL be mine.
I love these. All these looks are classically inspired and can be worn with anything. A night at the Met or heading out to get drunk with drag queens.
For a truly metropolitan and/or continental look these sleek jackets are perfect for LA/NY/Paris. Too sleek and sexy for words is the well named, ‘Collezione’ by Idra Alta Moda.
I am terribly sorry if the gorgeous, fabulous and well-dressed men are feeling left out. I haven’t been blogging men’s fashion. Thank goodness for small and well thought out fashion collections, Idra Alta Moda has you covered.
For the man who dresses better than I do.
Last but hardly least Idra Alta Moda do custom wear as well as accessories.What about this fierce purse?! I am adding this to my collection for winter.
Idra Alta Moda is indeed a collection to watch and covet.
They are taking over the Fall/Winter 2012 fashion fur/leather scene. If you have met the owner, possibly the world. (Word is she is secretly in cahoots with Adolfo Sanchez in LA and a Russian designer who makes out-of-this-world clothing. More on that later)
I cannot hide my love of Lana Del Rey. I am enamored with her music and she is a rocking beauty. Heck she even snagged the March 2012 cover of Vogue UK.
Well, on the 17th H&M OFFICIALLY released a PR statement that they have confirmed her as the new face of H&M’s 2012/2013 Fall/Winter line.
“We were looking for a style icon and singer to model our autumn/winter 2012-13 collection and Lana Del Rey was the perfect choice,” said H&M PR manager Chloe Bowers. “We think she shows our fall fashion in a very inspiring way. The theme of the campaign is a modern and feminine woman with a soft attitude. Curves and waist are important in autumn’s silhouette.”
Agreed Chloe and damn good choice. Lana Del Rey is the sort of vamp women love and admire. Sultry and such a vixen we send HUGE congrats.
All we ask Lana darling is quit with the plastic surgery. You don’t need it and that lip augmentation, soooooo botched.
Stay pretty Miss Del Rey. We’re hooked on you. H&M made a brilliant choice.
A daily regimen of Truvada is estimated to cost $14,000 per year, putting it out of reach for many [GALLO/GETTY]
Although enormously expensive the Truvada pill has finally been released. Truvada is the first pill known to directly fight the spread of HIV.
A Three year study in healthy HIV carrier up to almost 42%. This is huge milestone and despite its hefty price I believe we are actually ready to start combatting HIV and AIDS, instead of elongating pan and suffering. With an estimated 50,000 new cases per year we need more pro-active measures to help combat HIV and AIDS. Truvada may be the beginning of the end.
Of course like any medication Truvada is not without its nasty side effects. Truvada has been known to cause nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headaches and weight loss. Is it really worth it? The answer will always be yes to those that suffer and live with the HIV and AIDS virus.
It may be a baby step but we ARE on the right track. Let’s end this epidemic.
