Exquisite in a Deadly Way

WHAT'S BEING ADVERTISED!?!



THE SUIT SILLY! (Lawyer turned designer Duncan Quinn fashion ad. 2008)
Don't you just loves it! I do!!

The 5th Element

More and more each day, I find myself visiting WWD website to look at the runway shows done for the up and coming season and to my surprise, I found something that's soooooo Leeloo that my excitement went from Korben Dallas to Ruby Rhod in 5 minus 3....2 SECONDS!




These extreme beams were featured in Chinese designer Guo Pei’s Winter 2010 collection. (I promise his collections are always filled with those breath taking moments) The platform wedged heels are full of beadwork, textures, heaven height plus the gaint hole in the middle of the wedge gives that futuristic feel. I do have to say, (in my head) if Leeloo, the fashionista would have worn these when her and Korben attended Diva's performance with her white cut out ensemble, they would have been chasing her for a completely different reason!

A Race To Be Proud Of...

So, firstly I want to apologize for not giving daily well at less weekly entries. Been extremely buckled down with overnight floorset and motherhood. So after a phone conversation with a groovy chick and being told that my blog has been on the dead side, I've decided that an entry is past due. While searching that web, as I always do, at the same time my child is less than half attentive to his PBS learning shows, I stubbled across what seems to be a creation thats lacking this commercial world. PROUDRACE designers are surely something to be on the lookout for. For their recent collection titled "93 to Infinity", the designers name the 90s as their driving inspiration. Finally something new, instead of ripped jeans and plaid shirts we're given beautifully draped jersey and rejuvenated classics.

Its Nothing Not to Love About This Video

Okay...Okay...I know, I along with a million others will have probably wrote a blog about this song and video featuring Beyonce written by her lovely of the wall Solange. I have to say that I absolutely loves love this retro appeal that the video has taken. Yes..it seems to be a knock off of Ashanti Good Good video but like always Beyonce does it better...Yes it seem to be an ego booster by her dushing off her many Grammys won, but she can do that because she honestly earned it (besides the speculations of her Father (Matthew Knowles) being a normal attendee on the Grammys voters table)) Whatever the chatter may be.....no way can deny that she is the "hottest chick running the game' (in my Jay-Z voice) and her bod in the video is sickening. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN...BEE that is! and not to forget SOLANGE bitch you work it!

RAW DOGGING ISN'T SO BAD

my BLACK is VERY BEAUTIFUL!

When I attend to my daily readings of fashion magazine, I tend to almost always extend one of my long honey coated arms (usually the right) to the shelf and grasp an magazine other than American. (IT'S NO SHADE HUNNY)...but my hypothesis states that international fashions are ahead of American fashions. So it was no surprise when I stumbled across not only beauty but HISTORY...plus its seems to help prove that the American way of life tends to be a little behind! (eyes rolling around in my head)

Beverly Johnson was the first to appear on American Vogue in 1974...(WOW...behind by 8 years)

Foreign Love Songs

All those hours at XXI Forever isn't for anything. I get great music stuck in my head to groove to later...and these songs definitely make my car ride home seem a little faster. Oh let me count the ways in which you have pleased my heart by providing these international hits.



YELLE - CE JEU <<<( Not sure what there saying;part of me doesn't care; but I heart the song; hope that didn't sound ignorant)
