life is a cabaret

Vogue UK June 2008
Title: Stardust Memories

Model: Jessica Stam
Photographer: Patrick Demarchelier

I am not a big fan of Stam, but I love the mix of glitter, stripes, and ruffles makes this editorial perfect. I love everything from the color to the poses. Each picture has some sort of glittery sequins and the black and white stripes can be seen throughout.

it's natural

I've been wanting to wear my hair natural, but have yet to find a product that can actually handle my curls. Hopefully Miss Jessies assortment of styling creams is the answer. When I see girls with awesome curly hair, I get jealous. Why can't mine be that fantastic?

eva mendes for vogue italia

Vogue Italia May 2008

Model: Eva Mendes
Photographer: Steven Meisel
Stylist: Andrew Richardson

I am by no means a fan of Eva Mendes, but I did like her spread in the May issue of Vogue Italia. It was shot by Meisel and features Eva in a few compromising positions. I like the throwback pin up style. Some of the pictures border bad taste and the licking makes me gag. There is also a picture of her foot in her mouth that just rubs me the wrong way. Although, I imagine if someone other than Ms. Mendes were doing these poses it wouldn't be as bad. I don't know why I don't like her. I guess I'm more indifferent about her. I guess she's OK. No, she's a terrible actress.

i'm chuck bass

I have something to admit. I have an absurdly large crush on Gossip Girl's Chuck Bass. He's pretty slutty but yet extremely sexy. Nate is a bit bland and Dan isn't all that cute, but Chuck makes me OMG. He delivers some of the best lines on the show, especially in last weeks episode when he said "I'm Chuck Bass," referring to how slutty he is. Chuck has a brightly colored wardrobe with an assortment of sweater vests and bow ties. He can make a yellow suit look good and is just all around perfect. What I find humorous is my love of Chuck does not transfer to Ed Westwick, the actor who plays him. I don't really find him all that attractive out of character. I enjoy Ed's fake American accent, but his real British one has got to go.

the royal tenenbaums

The house where it was filmed is located in Harlem on W. 144th and Convent Avenue.

I just finished watching one of my favorite movies, "The Royal Tenenbaums." Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson are amazing. The cast is perfect (Angelica Houston, Ben Stiller, Danny Glover, Luke & Owen Wilson). The set is perfect. The clothes are perfect, especially the matching tracksuits Chas and his sons wear. I've never been a big Gwyneth Paltrow fan, but she is just fantastic as Margot, the adopted one. The only thing that would make this movie anymore fantastic would be the addition of the Schwartz.

srsly boring

The MET Costume Gala was a shitfest. It was all kinds of boring and really a disappointment to watch. I don't get why people feel the need to go blah when you're going to a COSTUME GALA!! Especially one with a superhero theme. WTF? Well there were a few people who went all out and were a delight to my eyes.

Chanel Iman looks all kinds of fierce in Phillip Lim
The belt is straight perfection!


Christina Ricci stole the night in Givenchy Haute Couture
She really embraced the superhero theme. She looks so AMAZING.


Dr. Lisa Airan looks mesmerizing in Rodarte


Zac Posen & Kate Marain in Zac Posen
I love the red, blue, and yellow together.


Anna Wintour in Chanel Haute Couture
This dress is fab. I love the hem details and the space age feel.


Amber Valletta in Atelier Versace
The color is brilliant as well as the crazy sleeves.


Lake Bell (who I've never really liked) in Balmain
At first I wasn't to thrilled about this dress, but it has really grown on me and Lake looks fabulous.


Gina Sanders
I love the lavender and brown mix! She looks gorgeous.


Summer Roberts/Rachel Bilson in Calvin Klein Collection
The form fit, high neck and shiny fabric give it a superhero feel. It reminds me of Aeon Flux or Catwoman.


Max Azria is superman???

Even though there were few outstanding numbers I'm still SO EXCITING to go to the MET to see this exhibit. I hope to go this weekend!!
