Faviana unveils their red carpet replicas

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

Faviana showcased the hottest red carpet looks from Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards with “inspired by” gowns on the Today’s Show. Once again the world-renowned evening gown designer has brought the red carpet to reality with gowns that replicate that of Carrie Underwood, Eva Longoria, Megan Fox and Natalie Portman.

We have something in common: recycling

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

kate-middleton-300x400An article appeared in People Magazine recently that focused on the princess-to-be, Kate Middleton. The article is titled, Kate Middleton Recycles From Her Own Closet. Read it and share in my dismay…

Whether it’s for her own official engagement pictures or just another social event in her busy schedule, Kate Middleton doesn’t have to look far when it comes to finding the perfect outfit–she simply recycles something from her oh-so-chic closet, adds some new accessories and voila…a new princess-to-be look is born. It’s a very royal trend (Princess Diana was known to mix and match old and new pieces and Princess Anne is quite famous for her frugal approach to fashion), so it’s entirely fitting that Middleton, who will marry into the British royal family in just a few months, should adopt the recession-friendly trend herself. And we have to say, the 29-year-old does it very well. Accompanying her fiancé, Prince William, to a friend’s wedding in the UK on Saturday, she recycled one of her much-loved ISSA black dresses (from the label’s Spring/Summer 2007 collection no less), which she had previously worn to Prince William’s cousin, Peter Phillips’ wedding in 2008. Worn underneath a current season velvet dress coat from independent London label Libélula, the outfit was topped off with a structural feathered beret and a glowing smile. A smart choice, in more ways than one. –Monique Jessen

Did you get that? Celebrities and royalty are not suppose to wear the same piece of clothing twice. People calls it “recycling”, the same thing you and I do regularly…pairing a tank with a blazer and then wearing that same tank a week later under a sweater.The article “calls her out”, so to speak, for wearing a particular ISSA black dress to two different weddings. Oh, for shame!

People goes on to say that past princesses have committed similar crimes. Princess Diana was known for mixing and matching old and new pieces (It’s called a wardrobe…right?) while Princess Anne is apparently famous for her frugal approach to fashion (She repeated an outfit three or four times no doubt).

Although the article praises Middleton for her smarts during a time of recession, I find it ridiculous to even view this “frugal behavior” as extraordinary. I am sure that there are multi-millionaires that may never have to wear the same outfit more than once, and I envy them, really. But what sense does it make to fall in love with a piece of clothing in a store or on the runway and then buy it, only to wear it once?

I guess if recycling is not a typical practice among the rich and famous then I relish the fact that I have something in common with the stunning princess bride-to-be, we recycle!

Miley Cyrus: A Coming of Age

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010
YouTube Preview Image

In her latest music video, Disney’s little lucrative princess sheds her innocence and puts on a new skin…and not much else. Who Owns My Heart has internet bloggers all abuzz over the lack of talent and the lack of clothing.

In the video, Miley is scantily clad, rolling around on a bed, bumping and grinding in a smokey club and reclining in the back of a limo. This is her attempt to break free from Hannah Montana, a coming of age for her. Problem is, this sexually charged video paired with pointless lyrics, is an open invitation for criticism.  Sure, there are tons of videos that make it to MTV that are far worse than Miley’s kiddie porn, but those artists didn’t get their start as pre-teen role models.

This is just another kink in a long chain of bad decisions for Miley Cyrus. First it was the tasteless Vanity Fair photo shoot, which featured a 15-year-old Miley in nothing more than a satin bed sheet. Then, several racy candid shots show up on the internet. Where is her agent? A publicist? Hell, where are her parents?

GaGa’s Raw Talent

Lady-Gaga-VMA-2010

Lady GaGa pulled out all the stops at Sunday’s VMA awards. She began, tame enough, with a renaissance dress complete with military entourage. To collect her award fro “Best Pop Video”, Gaga changed into a black flowing gown.

Both dresses were designed by the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen.

She saved the best for last. A dress made entirely of raw red meat, that’s right…RAW meat! The outfit was topped off with a slab of bloody meat laying on her head. A bikini version of the gown was unveiled on Japanese Vogue, prompting an instant uproar from animal rights activists. GaGa wore the controversial piece despite the furor, Surprise!


Sofia Vergara wears gold then nude

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

The gorgeous Sofia Vergara claims to have made good on a promise to run nude down Sunset Boulevard after she and her Modern Family co-stars accepted the Emmy for best hit comedy. No one saw the streaker, but fellow Modern Family star, Julie Bowen told People Magazine, “When we went back to the press room, she had made a left turn and we all made a right turn, so for about twenty minutes, she was missing.” When she returned, Bowen says Vergara replied that she “went to run nude down Sunset Boulevard. No one was there. So I did it. It’s over…no one said I had to do it at a certain time.”

The stunning gold gown she apparently stripped out of was a ravishing floor-length dress by Carolina Herrera. She easily took home the best dressed award as well as the Emmy.

Lilo to serve jail time

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail, followed by an additional 90 days of rehabilitation for violating the terms of her parole. Lohan failed to regularly attend weekly alcohol-education classes from her 2007 DUI case.

“As far as I knew, I was in compliance with my programs. … I wasn’t trying to get special treatment,” said a tearful Lohan. “I have to provide for myself. I have to work. Having said that, I did everything to balance my jobs and showing up. … I’m not taking this as a joke; it’s my life and career. … I take responsibility for my actions. I’ve tried to do the best I can. It’s been such a long haul. I don’t want you to think I don’t respect you and your terms.”

Lohan’s self-proclaimed sincerity was questioned after a close-up of her hands revealed some obscene nail art. Photos taken by the Associated Press show her middle finger with F–U scrawled across it.

Experts are weighing in and most say that the judge’s ruling is too harsh. Lohan is only expected to served one-fourth of her sentence due to jail over-crowding. She will only be there about 25 days. I say the punishment is perfect…a few weeks in jail may do her some good. I am sure she looks great in stripes.
