The Age Issue, Part Deux

With their inimitable style these two not only push the envelope with their out-there style, but they do so from underneath the same roof. These mother-daughter team mix and match high-end and high-end to create an eccentric style all their own....and I like it.

Mom is wearing a three-piece outfit from Hermes through the eyes of Jean Paul Gaultier. We weren't sure this was Hermes in the JPG years but after finding the fact that JPG has been at Hermes since 2003 I can be certain this lady would not be wearing a 7 year-old outfit, unless it was Chanel or Dior, I would think. That and the fact that the outfit consists of a bikini top underneath a sheer lace top SCREAMS Jean Paul Gaultier!!!!

Outfit- Hermes and bag- Prada

Dress- bought at Henri Bendel, necklace- from a trip to Turkey,
bag- Louis Vuitton, watch- Rolex and shoes- Alexander McQueen

The Master and his Mastery

I know I've lacked in posts this week. Thankfully, some paid work has come my way. But I do not want to come back to posting before adding this compilation video From Alexander McQueen's work.
I have been very affected by his departure, like many fashionistas out there.
R.I.P. McQueen

Long live McQueen

R.I.P. Alexander McQueen
I had the opportunity of meeting McQueen in 1998, he was quite humble and down to earth, and partied with mere mortals. I'll never forget how we partied at The Metropolitan hotel on Park Lane and we ended up going to his room with a bunch of people whom I may or may have not seen on magazines. Well me being all proud and not wanting to drink for free in his hotel room I order a bottle of champagne and charged it to my room. The surprise my father got when he paid the bill..............priceless.



You'll be missed!!!! And you made a HECK of a last collection (S/S 2010) that will never be forgotten.

Xmas in July weather

One of the saddest things in my life, and I'm not saying that there are many or anything, is the fact that I cannot dress for the changing seasons or enjoy seeing live fashion changing with the seasons. Seeing sleeveless garments drop like dead leaves to be replaced by buttery leather jackets (sorry PET-you-know-who-you-are), 120-denier black tights, fingerless gloves, Barbara Bui coats, BCBG pony hair Mendel booties, Burberry Wellington boots, (although I have been known for wearing Wellies in PR), OK I'll stop my daydreaming now. But here are a couple of alternatives some friends came up with at a recent Xmas bash in my friends backyard (yes!!! outdoors in the hot puertorrican winter).


B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Alexander McQueen shoosies!!!



TO DIE FOR Erika Pena rings


Showing off her brand-spanking-new bag from BCBG



A couple of interesting shoe selections. That's one thing you can always wear no matter the season no matter the weather: H-O-T Shoes!!!!!!!




I think I was the warmest one there but it was well worth it since everyone diiiieeeeeeddd with my vintage jacket.

Getting all tipsy turvy on my brand new shoes which can be appreciated even more for the hot price I got them for....but that's another subject. One I talk about on my other blog.

Idealistic entry for my blog

Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga posing backstage while under the same roof performing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Show in Blackpool on December 6th.
This pic, taken from here , is what I would call a half-way in-my-dreams picture I would've taken myself for my blog. Why only half-way? because Madonna AND Lady Gaga would be full-way, but I can only imagine what it could've loooked like by reading about the un-chronicled dance off they had recently at a party for Guy Oseary "... according to Madge herself, it actually went down a couple of weeks back. Unfortunately, there's apparently no video available, but Madonna described it to British morning TV show GMTV.
FYI, come to think of it Miley doesn't do much for my dream, it's all you Lady G.

"We had a party in New York a couple of weeks ago for my manager [Guy Oseary]," she told host Ben Shepard. "It was for his birthday and Lady Gaga was there and the DJ basically did a sort of a dance-off. The DJ would play one of her songs and then he would play one of mine and we both danced together in the middle and all of my dancers were around us. We just took turns dancing, too. I would dance to her song and sing all the words and she did the same to me. It was really fun."

The dance floor extravaganza wouldn't be the first time the two got together for a little friendly competition. The singers performed in a sketch together on "Saturday Night Live" back in October. They appeared during the "Deep House Dish" segment, a disco-based talk show. The pair could have staged a pop-and-lock throwdown recently, as Gaga was also in the U.K. singing for the Queen."
