6126





Photography: Celebutopia


Lindsay Lohan launched a new contemporary collection of leggings called 6126, the name of the line is inspired by Marilyn Monroe as 6.1.26 is her birthday. I am sure the line will do great. Since leggings are the most popular bottoms these days. My personal fav! I can never get enough leggings myself, they’re uber comfty and extremely easy to wear - def chic if worn correctly.

On Friday, Lilo along with two leggy models were swarmed by paparrazzis as they shot the look book for her collection. The line is a variety of black leggings in different materials and details, knee pads legging, zippered legs, and dozens more. The leggings and ankle gloves (what a name)range from $42 to $132.. Umm I don't know if I wanna pay over $100 for some spandex?

I'll take "A model" for $200!?


Don't even think about investing in stocks right now. Buying a home? Ha. And as the banks crumble and fold by the minute, you will be better off stashing your cash in your shoe box under the mattress. So what do investor's do these days? Sponsor a model, of course! What a great idea? (maybe) Beauty Holding, a new Website full of super models in the making in need, lets you put your money to good use.

Here's how it works: You "invest" in a model, and, much like a company, you'll have stake in her earnings next year. According to Beauty Holding's Website, "It has never been more simple for any girl or boy to get noticed worldwide and grace the covers of the glossiest fashion mags!" As the owner of a talent and event firm I strongly disagree. Thousands of new models participate in Fashion Week and are NEVER seen again. And how many faces do you recognize?

Beauty Holding how-to on the site make it seem easy.

Buy one, two or hundreds of stakes (1 $take = 1 U.S. dollar) in order to help your chosen Model become a Golden Beauty. The Model will reach that status when all 10,000 of the $takes have been bought by her Sponsors. Before your chosen Model becomes a Golden Beauty, you will be able to sell your $takes at any moment. In addition, you will always retain the right to obtain refund.

Can I really make money of these models?

Michelle Obama Wears Spring 2009 Narciso Rodriguez on Her Big Night




Last night she wore a dress from Narciso Rodriguez's spring 2009 collection, one of the most critically acclaimed of New York Fashion Week. Michelle's style has impressed many on the campaign trail with frugal finds to haute couture. Here wardrode come from places like J.Crew and H&M and threads by designers like Narciso and Thakoon. The dress worn on what we will call the biggest day in American history hit the runway less than 8 weeks ago. Which means that it isn't on the sales floor yet. So was is something borrowed? I suspect that Michelle will continue to impress the fashion elite with her sense of style. Or maybe it's just a good stylist, LOL.

A Great Task Ahead



"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer." Obama 08.

What a great birthday present I got today. I said Obama was all I wanted. And he was all I got. As I stood in line for almost 3 hours to vote for change, to vote for hope, to vote for the notion that I can do anything. Even being the first African-American president of the United States.

The fight is not over. For as many who are proud, there are as many who are frighten. We must pray for him and his family's safety here and abroad. The job of president is a hard task - ask George, LOL. We must never forget this day. We must continue to fight racism person by person. Nov 4th has become the beginning. The beginning of change.

The Paris Face Off


MUA's really put their brushes to work at Paris Fashion Week this season. The Paris runways were covered in paint, from pouty red lips to wild body paint. Some designers opted for a less is more look, but others went for something more attention-getting. The lips at A.F. Vandevorst were oversized red lips bordering on clownlike, while John Galliano dolled up his models in so many colors they looked like porcelain figurines. Bernhard Willhelm used black paint and pastel colors to draw on words like "personal" and "low" or shapes of triangles and circles.
