As we ponder
Beyond Pink: Women & Electronics
Blue is for boys and pink is for girls. My first bike was navy blue, I told my dad it was a ‘boys’ bike, but hey, my sister had one two, so in our house this rule did not apply. Actually my mom discouraged the use of pink with us, she thought it was tacky. [...]
Luxury in real life
What is Luxury? That’s what I keep asking myself these days. In How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie suggests to make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely. Does luxury items make you feel important? Sure, walk down the street with a nice handbag, and yeah, others will love [...]
Terminally Unique
Pret-a-Porter-Prostitute posted a wonderful one-of-a-kind apparel shop online…
“….no editions is also a basis for various collaborations to utilize the technical possibilities to develop and create individual , single print designs on mostly any garment - … but also has ‘ publishing ‘ possibilities for larger quantities -”
It’s human nature to crave the feeling of importance, [...]
Oh Karl….
Speaking of Karl, less than a week away from the release of Lagerfeld Confidential, Jezebel posted a few great Karl quotes…
[Fashion industry jobs] aren’t jobs that fit any criterion of social justice. It’s like cinema. Lots of boys and girls want to do it, but very few make it. Sadly, Nicole Kidmans are thin on [...]
"We represent a lot of ethnic girls…."
Today, I performed a quick little experiment. Pulling all the face shots of blonde hair/blue eyed models and black models off the Style.com’s backstage coverage of SS/08. Fatigued and overwhelmingly disappointed I gave up by the time I reached Diane Von Furstenburg.
Personally, I’ve always hated the white vs. black debate in racism, being as most [...]
The Distortion of Beauty
This morning I was getting ready for work, feeling rather ugly with raccoon eyes and messy hair, thinking I need more and more make up just to look presentable. What is that about? The whole concept of being beautiful sometimes amazes me, it’s such a construct. Growing up, I was kind of chubby, awkward and [...]
Vivienne Darling…
Vivienne Westwood thinks we should stop buying clothes. Bits and bobbins posted a very interesting article from the Telegraph UK. Vivienne explains her viewpoints on fashion today…
“There’s this idea that somehow you’ve got to keep changing things, and as often as possible. Maybe if people just decided not to buy anything for a while, they’d [...]
Coveted Eyes
Diana at So Fash’on reminded me of The Coveted sunglasses of Maison Martin Margiela…. ooh I’m so excited! This what coveted eyes look like in life… I’m also really feeling the horse tube dress… lovely…
Classic Attire
I once read a story about a woman who coveted the style of one of her co-workers who seemed to always wear the classic in a white skirt. She went on this epic search of finding this ‘perfect’ white skirt, and could never seem to get it right. When she finally broke down and asked [...]
The Intelligistas
The other night Beauty & the Geek aired the season premiere. It kind of struck a cord with me because, well, because there were a few statements aired that alluded to a common belief that because a woman is interested in fashion and makeup, that she lacked intelligence.
Now you and I both know, that the [...]
