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…..
And the full collection is featured below.
Well if this fight doesn’t just scream D-I-V-A.
Lady Gaga seem’s to have a beef with the almighty fashion gossip queen known as Perez Hilton. Perez (legally known as Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr.) is trying to move into her posh NYC building and she is having none of it. Stefani, er-Gaga see’s this as a stalker move and called Perez out on twitter of all places.
It could be a clashing of ego’s. Both of them think they are Cher or Barabara Streisand on the diva scale. I would call it just a bitch fight.This DOES look like a case of stalking for publicity, with a side of stupid.
Here’s where it got nasty.
Perez Hilton sent her a rather nasty and threatening text/image of her to her cell, after her hip accident. Lady Gaga’s twitter said;
Perez sent me of me in a wheelchair w the words KARMA written across + Madonna pointing a gun at me.
Oooo. Bad Form Mario. We all know he makes a living off kissing and dissing but that is just uncalled for.
What ever happened to this?
Lighten up on the hate Perez.
Even if Gaga is the 21st century diva, no one deserves that kind of nasty. Time to rethink that move.
Perez needs to stop with the dis, and start kissing celebrity ass again. We liked him much better that way.
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:

Defined as a ‘horror’ and worse Rihanna’s fashion debut at London Fashion week is a terrible fail.
‘The Daily Beast’ described her line as a ‘horror show’, and they were right!
According to the Huffpost, Rihanna was over an hour late starting. Making a crowd wait isn’t unheard of, but an hour?! Everything was badly simplistic. TV-esque, 90’s style, with one piece Baywatch Swimsuit & SJP LA Story, off-shoulder outfit with mini skirt. No flourish or trim and 97% see-through, gauzy material fit for a romance novel cover. She was off-season, presenting in London late and not scheduled as part of ‘Official Fashion Week’.
If I were Rihanna right now, I would be hiding somewhere in a bottle of rum.
There are too many reasons Rihanna’s line was a failure but let’s highlight a few.
Involvement; Rihanna’s direct involvement with River Island creating her line, was small at best. She sent texts and emails, choosing the material samples and giving the OK on design via phone. Nothing more. Despite her sad choices in design and material, the real credit to the line goes elsewhere.
Her line created, sewn and draped by designer Philip Green. Green created the Kate Moss line ($$$$) and brought TopShop from a zero to multi-million dollar hero of retail. Philip Green’s collaboration with rock stars and models have ALWAYS created money. However Rihanna is a a fail and a flake. Why?
Professionalism: River Island directly works with ASOS, Primark, Zara and of course Topshop, all of which Rihanna could have had a stake in with a £800,000 contract. Then she jeopardized that.
Two days before her London debut Rihanna was stupidly bold enough to post pictures of a marijuana bud putting her line and professionalism at question with River Island and the fashion community. Mostly, River Island, who very much said that her tweet of green could kill her contract and to keep things under wraps about her love affair with weed. In the fashion community we don’t care what you do, but don’t let everyone know about it.
Over all the line was simple, sad and see through, I can’t even wear it to bed. The blatant 90’s rip off wear is too much for any serious designer to stomach. Rihanna gets a D- for effort, and if possible an F- for the line.
Back to the drawing board RiRi.

Ah Valentine’s Day. A little slice of Hallmark hell. Every year you are damned if you do, or damned if you don’t. Wil it be enough to please her? Will she please you? Will he give me a ring? Will he remember or just hit the local 7-11 for some cheap stand-by gift? All these questions, and more, are answered on this day? But Why?
Originally this day was to celebrate St. Valentine’s courage, and stoning to death of course. So if you feel uneasy and slightly unpleasant today it’s ok. Here is the reason why.
Compliments of Wikipedia;
St. Valentine’s Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. The most popular martyrology associated with Saint Valentine was that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire; during his imprisonment, he is said to have healed the daughter of his jailer Asterius. Legend states that before his execution he wrote her a letter “from your Valentine” as a farewell.
Poor guy. See how much trouble marriage causes? Kidding.
So today is honoring a man who was dedicated to, and killed for, LOVE. Don’t forget that. It’s about Love people. Not jewelry. Though that’s always a nice painkiller.
Happy Valentines Day to you everyone. And here’s to all the love in the world.
As fashonistas everywhere gear up for NYFW, typing up schedule’s, faxing confirmation and sending last-minute email’s to their besties, the rest of us sad suckers at home are readying ourselves for Valentine’s Day.
Whether it is a day of loathing or a day of joy for you, everyone deserves a little love on February 14th. But what do you get the woman or man who has it all?
A spa day? Not quite in the budget, and last-minute cards and candies from the drug store may get you a slap in the face anyway. Let’s try something different, interesting and slightly sensual and well within our budget.
Handmade erotic roses on a chain a la Sphinx Art.
When I first saw the promotional photos I worried the size was too large (cough).
It turned out to be a dainty and sweet little necklace. Well made, classy and definitely worth owning & wearing. Sweet, petite and a little scandalous. They come in multiple colors (mine is purple) and come in a black sheer bag. Guys don’t worry, this leaves no doubt it’s JEWELRY, not THE ring.
What about your Man? He deserves something sensual and unique.
Erotic art sure to get your man motivated. All art is original and is handmade. It is small enough to find and area to ‘display’ what your hot, sexy and VERY smart GF gave you without scaring guests.
If you stare at it long enough it’s better than Viagra.

Apple rumors are everywhere and there is always something new and cutting edge they have to offer. I-groupies are everywhere and there is no short supply of Apple adoration. Although the Droid dominates the cell phone market in the United States (for now) the new iPhone5s boats a new win. A possible fingerprint scan.
For those that are paranoid about security this is a uber win situation. Who doesn’t want to feel the power of a super spy in the 21st century on their phone. CEO’s and big wigs will adore this when it comes to keeping prying eyes away from their business plans. Karl Lagerfeld’s designs are safe, Wired Mag and Gizmodo can write articles on their phones and you can watch porn at work. Oh wait. Not that last thing. Everything is secure and no one will ever know you are texting your girlfriend(s) ever again.
But what are they drawbacks. iPhones are notoriously known for glitching during your game, texting, social networking and are a constant smudge-phobics nightmare. We still have not mastered the James Bond software. The thumbprint may not register until the 12th time or not at all. Also our full knowledge and perfection for fingerprint scans, not so cutting edge. In security terms. We have a lot to learn.
Check out the Huffington Posts tech geek vid on the pros and cons on this little baby. I find it very insightful.
and aatma’s mock up
iPhone 5s might convert me, but for now I will stick with my trusty Droid.
I just got my stats sheet from thsi year and wanted to thank all you of you crazy, fun sick and wild readers out there. Without you, this blog is nothing.
Look for more fun in 2013 as I return with Fashion, Lifestyle, Entertainment and of course a full functioning website.
Here’s what the stats monkey got me for Christmas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 100,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
I think the picture above says it all.
‘Meggings’ or man leggings are one trend we would LOVE to see die in 2012. I remember a ton of hair rockers wearing them in the 80’s. The premise was being ‘over the top’ or ridiculous. And it worked. Now meggings have resurfaced, but this time they are considered a fashion statement. (God save us)
According to http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk meggings are sold at some of the top luxury brand stores and are going international;
(In the US) Uniqlo, Barneys and Nordstrom are selling tights for men.
The bad news is they are on their way to Britain: Uniqlo is already selling them on its British website, and their success in New York is seen as an indication they will also prove popular here. (the UK)
Perhaps some of my skinnier-than-thou gays could work that style, or a REALLY hot metro sexual man. GQ boys can get away with anything.
Man leggings….meggings? I think there is a line you can cross with good taste and this it.
Russell Brand wore them but did it as a joke. Ya know, that funny ha-ha thing. And Justin Bieber has the fashion sense of a Disney kid. Ergo, what ever wardrobe gives him he wears. The Telegraph UK sites Lenny Kravitz wearing them, however he reeks of sex. He can pull of anything.
I hope to say good-bye to meggings this new years. Perhaps I will burn one in effigy and pray to the gods. Lets let meggings die in 2012 and skinny jeans reign free.
What do you think of the ‘Meggings’ trend. Do or die? Live or try?
HAPPY HANNUKKAH!
Baruch a Ta danai—eh, that’s as far as I remember.
It’s Hanukkah again! Today at sunset (which is about to happen in California I light my first menorah candles. Being half jewish means it’s by my Christmas tree but hey, at least I make the effort.
So for all of my Jew Bro’s and Sister’s out there today, Mazel Tov! Happy Hanukkah and to all a fabulous night with chocolate and candles galore!
Look’s there is hope for all you Belieber’s out there. The PR stunt known as Disney kids Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have officially s-p-l-i-t.
I can hear the screams from tweens and cat ladies around the world. Hooray! But what caused the rift? No one will ever know.
According to Reuters.com;
Representatives for Bieber and Gomez did not returns calls or emails on Saturday.
Typical Disney cover up. Give it two or three weeks. Someone will tell the press what happened. In the meantime, ladies, start your engines. The Bieber is back on the market!
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?
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)
Will Ferrel is a non-stop genius and full of dry wit, sarcasm and he most definitely has the biggest….funny gene ever.
Ha! Fooled you.
I have been talking about the break up, tryst, bumping uglies of Kristen Stewart TOO much for my liking. I thought I would freshen the air with a little hilarity. Here is Will Ferrel and Conan making fun of the break up/cheating scandal.
Twihards are too easy to make fun of. Really.
I am happy to announce today Robert Pattison actually left the home he shared with Kristen Stewart in Los Angeles and moved out permanently. Hear that noise? Millions of Twihards just sighed and fainted.
Robert Pattison says he is ‘devastated’ and has had enough. Remember that ‘source’ from People? Well said source leaked this today.
“I’m not sure they will be able to recover from this,” a source for People said, “[Robert] is heartbroken and angry.” The 26-year-old British actor has cut off all contact with Kristen and remains in seclusion.
America’s highest paid actress just lost some of that 34.5 million dollars because her stock in the Entertainment industry just went down.
Here’s hoping Robert keep’s up the positive and recovers his broken heart. Something tell’s me he will have no problem moving on.
