Marc Jacobs and His New Love “Dot”

Don’t worry it’s not what you think. Or perhaps it’s exactly what you think if you are in the know. Marc Jacobs released his new signature fragrance to the public, “Dot”.

I love Daisy. It’s light, youthful, flowery with a hint of girly. What is so different about ‘Dot’? How will this fragrance captivate and enthrall Marc’s audience?

Below Marc Jacobs talks ‘Dot’ and what it is as well as the creation process.


Fascinating and interesting as always we approve and can’t wait to give a try Marc. After all anyone who can pull off a dress like he did is well worth supporting.

Breaking News – Sylvester Stallone’s son Sage Dead at 36 RIP

Earlier Sage Stallone was found dead in his Hollywood apartment Friday. He was 36.

Sources say it was from a ‘possible’ pill overdose. It is unknown at the moment if that was the cause of death. Sage was the son of Sylvester and his ex-wife Sasha Czack.

Sage is a well-known Actor, Director, Producer and worked as a Screenwriter. According to news sources Sage was planning a wedding to his fiance, working on new projects and was supposedly very happy. So sad.

A rep for Stallone commented;

“Sylvester Stallone is devastated and grief-stricken over the sudden loss of his son Sage Stallone. His compassion and thoughts are with Sage’s mother, Sasha. Sage was a very talented and wonderful young man. His loss will be felt forever.”

Our condolences go out to the Stallone/Czack family. Let’s hope the gossip rags (coughTMZ) give them a little respect and time to grieve.

 

Lindsay Lohan Lies…AGAIN.

I’d like to thank Michael K and crew at http://www.dlisted.com for this AWESOME photo.

Yes, the inevitable has happened. Lindsay Lohan lied AGAIN, this time about her Porsche accident. Remember the post where she hit a semi? Remember how it was the Trucks fault? Then it was the bad brakes on her rental Porsche.

Guess what hunny? No one believes the little redheaded blond who cries meth crystals anymore.

Porsche actually picked up the car. They tested the so-called faulty brakes and the test proved….drum roll please….they work perfectly.

According to Dlisted.com;

Porsche picked up LiLo’s bruised and busted car from the place she rented it from and ran a few brake tests on it. Shockingly, the brakes worked fine and Porsche couldn’t find anything wrong with them. So the only thing broke is LiLo’s ability to barf up the truth.

Uh oh, the shit just hit the fan. Again.

Let’s see if she can bribe, talk, lie her way out the jail time she’ll be facing.

Do think Lindsay Lohan well dodge charges on her car crash or is Porsche going to reem her and throw her away to detox in jail AGAIN?

7/12/12 Artwalk Riot in DTLA; What really happened (how to ruin a good night)

Because news is heresy and I was there. I want to tell you my story and what REALLY happened.

First let me clarify, OCCUPY LA movement was not involved. If there were there on their own accord, they were bystanders who got drawn into POLICE/LAPD fire. Those people fight for their right peacefully.

Might I add this once again is forcing my dislike for the police in this town. Stalked for four years, they can’t help, someone attacked me in my house, they tried to victimize me and say I did it. I’m shaking my finger at you very vigorously LAPD (get it together boys).

In sequence my night started off lovely. My roomie came home from work hot and sweaty and I was taking her to her FIRST Artwalk in DTLA. We dressed up, were meeting friends. Perfect.

Then the rain started and it was even better. Cooling off everyone helped easy the aggro and we needed the rain. Add a perfect colorful LA sunset and a shot of vodka and my night was off to a good start.

The first thing I see as I get down to Artwalk is this loveliness.

Hooray for this window. Next we stopped off to see Tina Summers at her boutique half a block from 5th & Spring at ‘Uniqbill’ Boutique. My roomie got some serious spike earrings and we chatted.

I was warned by Tina and her family that there was a protest 1/2 a block west from 5th & Spring. Turned out the bullhorn I had heard was the cops ‘hassling people’ “Fine”, I said, we’ll just go the other way”. And we did, and it was fine.

We ventured into the Artwalk ‘I Art U DTLA Pop up Boutique at 521 S. Spring st.

It was packed full of happy and hot shoppers.

Look at all the angry people. Oh right, that is what is missing from this picture.

Stopping by Astera Leather’s booth we found awesome Gir coasters made of leather by Kim Weaver.

And headed over to view the awesome display at Candy Wax Cutie

These guys are a very cool creative collective of Artists, Photographers, Film Makers, Models, Fashion Designers and Make Up Artists who are making art in every way possible. I spoke to one of the girls there extensively. They really pulling together to be professional and unique in what they do. Check out the display of one of the Costumers.

After she gave us free Monster (hallelujah, free energy drinks) she warned us thing were bad outside on 5th how we came. Again I answered, “No problem we’ll go out the back” and we did.

That was about 10:20PM, and then shit started going bad as we exited on to 6th as we headed to 7th and Pershing Squares Metro.

First Police helicopters flew in, then we were passed by 10 cop cars sirens blaring shooting down Spring. In the midst of it all we walked a block to far so we cut across Pershing Square. There was chalk art everywhere. Kitties and rainbows and some hearts and the word ‘Peace’.  Really fun, innocent and cute. This is what the police were fighting with people about. Yep. Chalk art by sweet peace-loving kids.

As we neared 7th again and crossed the street we the police were about 50 feet from us. All in riot gear. Cars blocking the street, 20 cops in a line in riot gear. 15 feet from them, one stationed at each staircase leading into the metro at Pershing Square. I figured try getting in and if necessary run and catch it ANYWHERE else.

As we crossed the street we actually passed this kid, shirt up, surrounded by his friends taking cell phone pictures.

Weird finding a photo the next day.

I pulled my roomie away from him. At that moment we saw the elevator. Whipped around the corner, caught it with 5 others. Last minute a couple ran in. We all looked at each other and giggled nervously.

After that I called a few people CBS News and NBCLA were already spreading false facts. Police were hurt, etc. and it was an OCCUPY LA thing. It wasn’t.

Truth be told it was over some nice people passing out chalk to draw with. The kind you give a five-year old.The police didn’t like it and used force. Probably said it was destruction of property. Innocent bystanders got hit with rubber bullets and bean bags. Shot in the face and attacked for loving art and Los Angeles.

Not only that but they totally ruined my shopping buzz. Which is a far bigger sin than they know.

Unforgivably it was very real violence. Why this? And why on a night of festivities, music and promoting artists?

Thanks LAPD, You really ruined a beautiful night. For everyone

Below, My roomie and I post riot.

Happy Friday the 13th, and a little history lesson

Oh hooray! It’s Friday the 13th. Since I am a bit backwards, my parents always taught me it was a lucky day to celebrate. Not one to hate on.

Not everyone is so lucky. Most people have a fear of Friday the 13th. It’s a bad day for bad things. Might as will stay under the covers.

Legend has it: If 13 people sit down to dinner together, one will die within the year. The Turks so disliked the number 13 that it was practically expunged from their vocabulary (Brewer, 1894). Many cities do not have a 13th Street or a 13th Avenue. Many buildings don’t have a 13th floor. If you have 13 letters in your name, you will have the devil’s luck (Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Theodore Bundy and Albert De Salvo all have 13 letters in their names). There are 13 witches in a coven.

Some people even refuse to go to work on this day.

Most of these fears are irrational and learned as children. Stories, folktales and irrational fears become a long-standing tradition. Most of these things were taught to children to keep them from doing incredibly stupid things during dark and archaic times.

Really there is nothing to be afraid of. Or is there?

Have a paralyzing fear of Friday the 13th? Well you may have what is called, friggatriskaidekaphobia.

The fear of Friday the 13th has been called friggatriskaidekaphobia (Frigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom “Friday” is named and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen)

Sadly it is a very real condition.

According to About.com, a group in the UK studied Friday the 13th and hospital admissions. Because of this silly paranoia, 52% more car accidents are likely to happen on friday the 13th.

We live in the 21st century. Why would we STILL embrace this?

Let’s not forget Jason?

Adding a really awesome horror series to this ‘afflicted’ day. You reeled in ever teen from here to 1970 something and made them have an extra special phobia Jason will visit on this dreaded unlucky day.

Hi mom, I love sharing Friday the 13th so much, I beheaded you, so you can celebrate it with me. *Shudder*

How do we counteract this crazy friggatriskaidekaphobia?

Simple.

This means DO walk under a ladder. If a black cat crosses your path you’ll be safe and happy all day. Have dinner with your favorite 13 people. Go get your horror freak on and watch EVERY Friday the 13th movie EVER made. That’ll show Mr. Hockey mask.

Today might be Friday the 13th but it doesn’t mean it’s bad. In fact make it your lucky day.

It’s happening 3 times this year 13 weeks apart. Might as well embrace the dark side and enjoy it.

From Harvard Business blog: Narcissism: The Difference Between High Achievers and Leaders – Justin Menkes

Normally I am not big on reblogging other’s work but I just cam across this article from the Harvard Business Review. It’s not only insightful, it’s brilliant. Working both corporate and as an Independent I find this rings very true. Check it out if you are Business minded. It may save you a lot of trouble and create a lot of insight.

Narcissism: The Difference Between High Achievers and Leaders

by Justin Menkes  |   6:00 AM July 4, 2012

A chief executive had a dilemma. After working in a fast-growing company as COO, he accepted an offer from venture capitalists to start his own company. Within five years he had built a new enterprise generating revenues over $300 million and profit margins so high that his company had compiled a substantial cash reserve with which it was poised to go on an acquisition run. His passion, strategic and analytical brilliance, and relentless focus on practical results made him a rare, virtually unstoppable force in industry.

So what was his problem? He was irreplaceable, at least according to his board. It was the board’s fundamental responsibility to protect the shareholders’ interests with a viable succession plan, and for this they simply had no acceptable answer. They demanded that he find a solution.

He asked me for counsel:

Justin, I have two people on my team that I think can grow into my role. But my board vehemently disagrees and thinks I vastly overestimate their long-term potential to actually run a company. They’re both superstars. How do I know which one — or if either one — can make the leap, or whether this is just a pipe dream that’s going to waste a lot of time, money, and focus?

It’s a good question, one I’m often asked. How do you know when someone can make the leap from high performer to CEO? There is one driving factor that determines the answer: narcissism.

Those selected for development have one universal trait in common: They are by definition high achievers. But there is a difference between those superstar achievers that can make the leap to CEO and those that will implode: To what degree do they feel invigorated by the success and talent of others, and to what degree does the success of others cause an involuntary pinch of insecurity about their own personal inadequacies? Only an individual who feels genuinely invigorated by the growth, development, and success of others can become an effective leader of an enterprise. And it remains the most common obstacle of success for those trying to make that leap.

There is powerful evidence (pdf) that narcissists have difficulty forging long-term relationships. Because narcissists are continuously seeking recognition from others to reinforce their own self-worth, they tend to form new relationships where they can see a positive reflection of themselves in the other person’s eye. However, because of their obsession with analyzing events around them to see what they suggest about their own identities, they also exhaust those relationships. In leadership positions, this leaves colleagues feeling like collective efforts are being used to increase a single narcissist leader’s ego, rather than a team’s shared goals.

Keeping an eye on the high achiever’s relationships and self-promotion certainly helps to see if your candidate is a narcissist. The Narcissistic Personality Inventory also has several questions that suggest how to further clarify an individual’s level of narcissism, including:

  • Are the individual’s relationships with others based on honest, intimate exchanges, or are they formed using a dynamic that regularly reinforces the narcissist’s role as a “hero”?
  • Does the individual often talk about how his star qualities make him distinct from his peers?
  • Does he like to be the center of attention?
  • Does the remark, “I insist on getting the respect that is due me,” resonate with his worldview?

If you answered “yes” to many of the questions above, chances are you’re describing a high achiever who possesses a costly level of narcissism. But there are ways to help these individuals make the leap from high achievers to leaders.

First, coach them to continuously attribute credit to others for any successful project. Point out how this will produce long-term rewards because others will see that the projects they’re responsible for produce successful outcomes. In the end, other talented people will vie to work with them and give them their best, further improving their track records of disseminating success.

Then, press hard against any behaviors that self-aggrandize. Frame the lesson in a language that high achievers can understand: If their intent is to get ahead, self-promotion is likely doing just the opposite over the long term. It is in their self-interest to change.

Individuals with extreme levels of insecurity — those that cannot remain stable while seeing others succeed — will fail in leadership. In these cases, you may need to arrange psychological interventions that get to the root of their insecurities and help them heal if they are to become successful leaders.

While elevated narcissism and self-promotion has been shown to result in quicker promotion early in one’s career, its negative impacts are revealed in positions of higher authority. In these positions, blind ambition becomes its own worst enemy. In identifying these traits early and combating them through mentorship, you can transform these high achievers into quality leaders.

Miley Cyrus Sings ‘Happy Birthday’ to Drag Queen and ‘Big Ole Titties’, Disney Fail #2,000,000

I love watching Disney kids grow up. Some of them disappear into the ether, becoming happy in some kind of ‘normal’ life. The other special 3% turn into Britney Spears (uber crazy/white trash), Christina Aguilera(alcoholic/overeater), Justin Timberlake (megalomaniac) and now, Miley Cyrus!

I have to admit I am enjoying her ‘downfall’. It’s not as bad as  a lot of the Disney kids and I think her smoking Salvia (coughweedcough), dressing like a humpable Chola, and getting her everything freak on, is pretty normal for a rich Hollywood kid.

However she finally made a right turn….into drag hag land. Miley I am proud of you.

Oh Miley, you finally did the right thing.

The drag queens and glitter gay’s of old SF taught me how to do my make up and be a proper girl. They do have a bang up, over the top, sense of style I adore.

My hope is by hanging out with these faboo cross dressers she might pay more attention to her fake eyelashes then a bong. That’s right Miley step away from the stripper pole and head towards the glitter wig. You are gonna be okay.

Goat Hair is the New Black, #ShoeSunday

It’s mid-way through summer and FW 2012/2013 is upon us. Fashion moves fast and even though I have only used my bikini once I’m already looking at my new winter wardrobe want’s.

It was my Twitter (shameless plug:follow me @HeathyrWolfe) that keyed me in to my new fashion fetish. Goat hair accessories.

Above is the Marni goat hair bag. Cute but a little plain.

I think it’s better to accessorize with something like this.

Jimmy Choo’s version;

Raaaaawwwr. Purr. Yes please.

And for a little flair in the shoe department, because no man or woman is complete without good shoe. I offer you the Yves Saint Laurent ‘Mohawk’ shoe.

or in blue

Oh sure, scream at me for being not PC. Peta has probably blacklisted me from any of their functions at this point. I know it’s from a cute(?) furry critter, but you know you secretly yearn for it too.

Consider the trend won’t you? I think we need more of this for fall and less of this.

(This is ACTUALLY Christian Lacroix)

Dontcha think?

Send in any new fall fetishes to Heathyrw@gmail.com and I might just blog ’em.

 

80’s forgotten moment with ‘Taco’; Happy Weekend!

I thought today I would enlighten you with a forgotten 80’s moment.

Who remembers the awesomeness of ‘Taco’? Yeah I thought so.

Here’s a refresher of what you missed in the 80’s and how weird and may be cool it was.

Hope your weekend is as cool as this ‘Taco’s, Puttin on the Ritz’. Full version of course.

Bounty Wars; Crime, Punishment, $10,000. July 8th, 10 PM ET/PT on Dicovery Channel.

Because everyone is a naysayer re: Reality TV. Because there is a lot of fake, really bad, ‘Jersey Shore’ and ‘Kardashian’ shows out there. Because one of my readers said it was, like totally fake. Because this show would go great with beer,

I bring you the official Bounty Wars, press release straight from my friends over at Discovery Channel, and the Executive Producers I know (yeah I’m special like that).

 

When I say it’s real, I mean, IT’S REAL. Go watch. You might be surprised.

Happy Independence Day…KATIE HOLMES! We salute you.

We were all waiting for it to happen. Yes, her contract finally ran out.

Katie Holmes is a free woman and with her high heel diva, Suri, is leaving her closeted gay, megalomaniac, Scientologist husband, Tom Cruise. HOORAY!

She EVEN went shopping for 4th of July supplies today at Whole Foods like a normal West Hollywood actress.

“I’m all right,” the 33-year-old actress told the Daily News as she pushed a shopping cart carrying the couple’s adorable daughter Suri.
“Thank you,” she said graciously.

Aw. We’re glad you are ‘all right’, but are you?

Katie Holmes career has TANKED. Her fake marriage to Tom Cruise made sure of that. Two celebs, one spotlight. Guess who won that battle. Hopefully now that she off the barley water Suri will help her get her inner diva back.

Tommy boy is letting her go RIGHT during this whole Travolta scandal thing. Tom Cruise is gayer than Richard Simmons at The Abbey on a Saturday night. He also has a security team called Scientology. Scientology will be on her like Paris Hilton on vodka. They swear they aren’t tailing her, but we know better. He will not be letting her expose him and his not-so-secret, secrets.

That is the job of annoying bloggers like me.

No matter what they nasty details may be folks, we have Katie Holmes, cutie from Dawson’s Creek back.

Katie Holmes, WE SALUTE YOU!

Welcome back to reality. Xenu doesn’t live here.
