Kami Shade Rocks Facade Magazine

I’m focusing on most things fashion this week because of  Spring/Summer 2012/2013 season. Nice excuse to have.

As my readers know I am big on promoting emerging designers and I LOVE then succeed. Unfortunately I never get clothes but I pimp them anyway.

This week I am pleased to say the illustrious diva designer Kami Shade is in the spotlight with a very cool editorial in Facade Magazine.

Not only am I super proud to see miss thing get a great editorial but the clothes, oh the dresses make me want to cry and empty my bank account.

Check it out

Love this look. Super Hollywood glamour.

Think that is all there is to this collection? You are very much mistaken darlings. Go peruse the Kami Shade store below by clicking the hottie in the swimsuit.

She does custom order if you don’t see your size or have something special in mind. Happy shopping!

Richard Simmons Get’s a Little TOO Natural.

Dear Richard Simmons, you just pissed off Mother Nature. You just brought new meaning to the phrase ‘face plant’. (drum snap please)

What in the holy hell?

Richard Simmons decided to go for a stroll in the heat of LA two days ago in another of his strange, mind-boggling, retina-burning, outfits. Normally he ‘borders’ on weird. We are kind of used to him be a strange, but likable little man. This time, not so much.

As he poses proudly in the sun in his ‘Richard of the Jungle’ outfit I have to ask; is it just the heat or has dementia set in early?

What do you think? Let’s take a poll shall we;

L.A. Culture Night Out; Event by Leveled Magazine & Den. M. Bar

People seem to enjoy hating on LA.

We have been pegged as a soulless society of plastic people in tinsel town. That is why I LOVE proving the outside world W-R-O-N-G.
LA is a cool town, with too much to do. We thrive in culture, artistry with a neo-futuristic background to live in reminiscent of ‘Metropolis’. We have underground culture an are the bringer’s of new, not old.

Case in point I bring you Leveled Magazine & Den.m Bar’s Wednesday social at the Hive Gallery in DTLA.

Let me explain a little about the cool cats who ran this, starting with Leveled Magazine;

Their Mission; Bringing the culture of Los Angeles (and the world) to your brain. With everything from epic editorials to fierce fashion these guys have won me over. I get sick of ‘genre’ magazines that cover one maybe two things.

This month’s issue includes a Beautiful spread on Audrey Kitching and a weird editorial article & photo shoot with stars like Bobcat Goldthwait and Kathy Griffin.

Let’s take it a step further for the fashionably aware out there.
Los Angeles hippest custom denim company Den.m.Bar was repping this too. Den.M Bar for those not in the know is best described as a couture jeans company. Walk in and pick from a huge line of custom denim creating a jean for yourself that includes picking out your own zippers, pocket cloth and even thread. Custom is the 21st century ultimate couture and now it’s accessible.

Angelenos are notoriously picky ranging from food to clothing despite our casual looking lifestyle. Which is why I only go to events like this. With fashion, culture, and an open bar. Yes, Leveled Magazine had drinks mixing voddy with One Coconut Water or ever lovely Honest Tea. There was even fizzy Kombucha from the fab people at Health-ade.

Now you have a perfect evening. I even have the pictures below to prove it.
Check out the gallery below

Seem’s LA culture is alive and well. Perhaps the whiners out there will reel in the snotty comments on how LA ‘has no culture;.
Let’s face it kittens. When we do it, we do it right and with a BANG. LA’s luxe crowd never looked so cool in 100 degree weather.

Check out all the sponsors and vendors involved.

Fashion Film of the Day – Ishiko with Azzedine Alaia

I happened across this video thanks to the amazing people at Models.com (subscribe!). It is a gorgeous fashion film with Ginta Lapin wearing nothing but AZZEDINE ALAIA. So perfect it literally made my afternoon better.

What Pornstars are Wearing

Last month I went to the XRCO adult awards at The Highlands. Sadly my night got cut short but before it did I had a chance to see and ask about some of the fashion they wore. Surprisingly it was as far from the Hollywood Blvd. slut dress as you can get.

Despite wearing a completely lace thong and catsuit (yeah I know it’s sexy, so I am giving you pics) Diamond Skin isn’t your porntastic girl at all. She is actually a heavy-duty shoe-ista.

Lacey and downright working it

Diamond Skin also rocked a pair of $265 Jeffrey Campbell Shadow Spiked Booties. This makes me want to be her new BFF. The girl rocks porn and fashion?

I was happily surprised to find out that although porn stars like bling, they don’t trash it up at all. In fact these ladies were wearing the most elegant and classy necklaces I have ever seen.

I assure you these are classy ladies who know how to bring fashion with a little reaction. Brilliant, beautiful and sometimes naked.

Never under-estimate a porn star. She just might be the girl you are fighting at Barney’s over the limited edition shoes you want. Chances are she’ll win the smack down too.

Mark Zuckerberg Gets His Hoodie Freak On….On Wall Street

Image

Today Mark Zuckerberg showed up to his meeting with major Wall Street conglomerates wearing his signature hoodie. Next week Facebooks billion dollar stock will hit the market. This casual attitude made many bankers ‘uncomfortable’ feeling that Zuckerberg was ‘too immature’ to run the company.

Question? Inferiority complex much? Sounds like Wall Street could use some fashion advice from this 30 something year old seeing as Facebook now has 901 million users.

Suck it up seersucker suits. You’re yesterdays news and fashion statement. Let tech reign free!
