Falling Whistles

Here's a great charity to donate to. I just read about it via Daily Candy. Two minutes after I realize what it was for.... I bought one.

Amber Rose

One word...banging. She's my new girl crush. I think a lot of people hate on her because she is who she is (sounds a lil familiar...see previous post) and that's it. So she's Bi...so what. So she's bald....so what. The bitch is hot. People are saying Kanye could've done better... I think she could.

Banging!.. skanky pictures and all. Stop Hating!

...You're Not Even Looking At Her Poker Face.

...I love Lady Gaga.

Stupid name from a strange song, wacky ass clothes, simple lyrics and all. Girl can put together a catchy song. "Just Dance" is def better than "Poker Face", but I love them both....no comment about "Love Game". It's not her songs tho that get me excited about this girl. It's her unique rawness that I love. She puts it all out there and makes no apologies. Has anyone else noticed that she's the closet thing this generation has seen to Madonna in her early years. Risque` attire with lyrics to match. Not caring what anyone else thinks and doing what feels right to her. She's got Mrs. Ciccone written all over her. She's may be a victim of an extremely bad stylist, but you gotta give her an A for effort. No one else is doing it like her.

Kanye Wests' "Heartless" As Done By The Fray

Fabulous cover. One of the best I've heard in a long time.

The Struggle

I'm a girl... with a little extra in the hip, thigh, and butt area. When I buy pants...jeans particularly I try to make sure they have some stretch so they fit comfortably. If you're one of my few friends on Facebook you all know about my "Impulse Buy" of a pair of Kasil brand jeans on Revolve that were marked down from $213.00 to $86.00. How could you not jump at that bargain???

Well..let me just say these jeans are getting mailed back today. I have a 29 inch waist. When I buy designer jeans which are normally Seven's or Citizens.. I get a 29..sometimes a 30. They fit like a glove and give a little where they need to. Not these bitches. I bought them in a 29 because they're made with 2% elastane. They're trouser cut too which normally almost always fit perfectly. Let me tell you...I strained the damn tendon in my wrist to the point where my thumb curled up on me and I couldn't straighted it back out on my own trying to get these over my ass! My boyfriend had to make a splint for me to keep me from using it or it curling up again. Not only that.. He had to help me take them off afterwards. I thought it was embarrassing .. he loved it.

Finding a great fitting pair of jeans is always a struggle for most women. Too many different body types to cater to. Although these are very nice jeans they really aren't worth me losing the use of my thumb or any limb over. That would be a bit much. The things I go through for great clothing. Ridiculous.

Strike A Pose!

....so.. I hear Vogue Magazine's going through some tough times lately. Who isn't really tho? It's the times. This Mega Fashion magazine that's #1 on most Fashion enthusiast list falls short to #2 for me. When I was growing up I'd hear all about Vogue magazine and the infamous Anna Wintour (LOVE her!..She's my idol) When I thought of Fashion, models, designers, etc.. I thought Vogue. STRIKE A POSE! They're Fall issue from 1993 or 94 with John Galliano's tile inspired dress and matching hat solidified my decision to be a Fashion Designer. It is a Fashionista's bible.

Then I subscribed to Harper's Bazaar.The first issue I ever got just 3 short months ago reeled me in like a fish who did not want to give up the worm. SJP was on the cover running on a bridge, looking very Carrie Bradshaw like against a simplified dusty blue background. I was hooked. Read that magazine cover to cover.. I mean EVERYTHING. I rarely do that with any magazine I own.

What I like about Bazaar is that they don't crowd you with a bunch of articles I could care less reading about. I know it's great to know what's going on in Fashion when you're in the business of Fashion. I get this, but when I just want to look at who put of what this season and next... just give me that. I don't mind a little side note about what's now trendy, and what inspired so and so designer to create such a collection. But please...PLEASE don't expect me to read a page and a half of it. Show me what they did don't tell me.

Also, like many magazine are trying to do now.. they're touching important issues for women like breast cancer and domestic violence and what not.. which is fine. However the same applies. If I want to read about breakthroughs on Women issues I go to Marie Claire... another one of my favorites. Please ..not so much in my Fashion magazine. Bazaar gets it just right! Everything I could ask for in a Fashion mag.

So..although I swear by my Fall and Spring issues of Vogue, month to month I'm a Haper's girl. It's not a diss... just a preference.

RANT: Why This Wash?

Why would anyone in their right mind seriously bring back the Acid Wash jean???
Why?

Acid, Snow, White whatever wash you call it, it all equals ugly.

I know the 80's have been prominent in Fashion for the past 2-3 years and I'm a fan. I really am. But there is a difference between rocking leggins under a denim skirt like Madonna in her Lucky Star days, and roaming around in bleach splattered jeans like you're fresh outta the trailer park. Remember Helen Shaver playing Fairuza Balks mother in


The Craft ........EXACTLY!!!
