When in Paris...

I absolutely love Vans! Not only are they comfortable, but incredibly versatile. Pair them up with some True Religions and a funky vintage T, or wear them with a cute Betsy Johnson dress...Once favored by the skater set, they are becoming a summer must have. You'll be stlying any way you rock em. Don't fret if you weren't one of the lucky ones to score a pair of Marc Jacobs Vans, they are still available on ebay.

Fashion Remix






Sprite is pulling an image remix and targeting upcoming desingers to vamp up their brand. Surprisingly, Sprite had hip hop/fashion heavy weights such as Missy and Kanye and one of my favorite models from my own hometown, Dominican superstar Omahyra headlined Sprite's First Annual Street Coutoure Showcase. "The show featured Rocawear, Triple Five Soul, Etnies, WESC, and LRG to feature their Fall 2006"lines. [Village Voice]





Check out Omahyra as Acrchlight in X-men this summer.

Street Style: New York's Look Book




On this edition of the Look Book, you have a 20 year old college student from Boston who thinks she looks hot. I beg to differ, aside from her Marc Jacob sunglasses and her handbag, I don't think there's anything redeeming about this outfit... Not everyone can be a modelcitizenn.

Fashion fix of the day...



I love these! I love the braided strap and the versatility of this shoe. These can go from day to night, and at $24.00 dollars, they are easy on the wallet and feet. Score them at Newport News. Wear them with whatever you want, but please...no footless tights.

One more look.

May is almost over, and I wanted to repost the Nicole Richie (my twin) Glamour issue just incase, you didn't see it for yourself. This is before Nicole admitted that she had an eating disorder in Vanity Fair saying "I know I'm too thin right now, so I wouldn't want any young girl looking at me and saying, 'That's what I want to look like.' I do know that they will, which is another reason I really do need to do something about it. I'm not happy with the way I look right now." This might have surprised no one, but I think it takes a lot for a young woman in Hollywood to fess up and admit she has a problem.


I actually met my "twin" at her book signing here in New York City for The Truth About Diamonds Just so you can get a mental image of how tiny she is, compare her to me. I'm 5'0 and weigh about 90 pounds. She makes me look like a beast! So should Nicole put on the pounds, or should she thin? Comments?











Reality of Reality

It's on bitches!

The modeling and fashion industry is taking reality by storm! It seems that every angle is being covered:

Model Wannabees:America's Next Top Model



I love me some Tyra. Tyra paved the way for this insanity...what's not to love?










Designer Wannabees:Project Runway



Am I the only person in the world that hasn't seen this show? Shame.










Behind the Scenes: 8th and Ocean


Personally, I think this show has potential and it gives an inside look on the life of a regular working model. In my opion, top models only live in New York or Paris.but hey it is MTV...





Modeling agencies run by crazy bitches: The Janice Dickison Modeling Agency



Janice Dickinson
the worlds "first" supermodel is set to debut her own show on Oxygen.


Really looking forward to see J.Dick deliver the drama.














Big headed Agents and their Prized Models: The Agency

Wilhelmina Models is also gearing up for their own reality show on Vh1 titled "The Agency". The Agency is a "docu drama" that will chronicle the lives of the models as well as the bookers that vicariously live through them. The Agency is guaranteed to give 8th and Ocean a big kick in the ass. The girls at Wilhelmina book campaigns (not just Target Ad's) and are a little more grown up. Halle Berry's new yummy boy toy Gabriel Aubry is also signed with Willy. I used to work there, and judging by my experience, and all the crazy shit I've seen there, I'm sure this one is going to be on your TiVo. Willy even has a special event held just for the staff and models once a week featuring What else? "Bagel and Krispy Kreme Fridays"!?!!!?? (I swear) Nothing like shoving carbs infront of an anorexic to motivate them for the day...I'll keep my comments to myself...for now.





Models, coke addictions, religious parents freaking out about photo shoots, boy problems, catfights and dieting...Which will you watch?

Summer is in full swing...



Wishing I was at the beach once again...but hey I guess spending my summer in NYC isn't that bad...


It's officially hotter than Lohan's firecrotch here in New York City. I'm not even going to talk about the takeover of the leggings here. Seriously... the footless tights (okay, i'm lying- I will go there bitches) are cool, but not when everyone and their grandmothers are wearing them! hint hint...if its too trendy, its not fashionable anymore. THE LEGGINGS ARE OVER!. Please, please, pleeeeease retire them. (and yes, that goes for you London girls too).





Feeling IT...
I've discovered this kick ass light creme based bronzer to give my face that amazing glow with out being too heavy in the warm weather, Maybelline's Dream Mouse Bronzer
It's perfect for that summer kissed skin and is so easy to apply. I love its small compact container, and the product is totally on-the-go-makeup friendly. I can't guarantee that you'll look like Marija, but hey, a girl can only dream. Happy Memorial day bitches... Peaces.

Next Hot Thing...


Male models get love too.




Our friend Rocco over at Fashion News Live is the next big thing. A former model, Rocco always delievers the hotness. I'd be really interested in what he had to say, only if I weren't so concentrated on those hot lips of his...

Rachel Zoe hates animals.


Rachel Zoe apparently won't eat animals, but for the right price, she'll sell you a carcass! Rachel has teamed up with Judith Leiber and will create a shitload of handbags made from python, and other "exotic" skins that will go for $2,000-$10,000. Only in Hollywood can a vegetarian make leather handbags...Next up, Nicole Richie's cookbook. [source]

Beyonce to star in Tommy Hils new film




Beyonce might be hitting up the big screen once again. WWD, reports that Beyonce the face of Tommy Hil's True Star fragrance, might be starring in Tommy's upcoming film about a "rags to riches young African American" aspiring designer. The film is set to be produced by Tommy's own company named whatelse? Tommy Hilfiger Entertainment.



Lets just hope Miss B. keeps her diva behavior in check, or fashion gangstar, Tommy is going to have to kick. Her. (big) ass.

Lindsay Lohan has a "Fire Crotch"




According to looser slash piece of shit Brandon Davis, L.Lo has a fire crotch Whatever the fuck that means. Brandon and Parisite Hilton are seen here being tailed by Paparazzi down a Hollywood street. Shithead #2 (Brandon) is obviously drunk out of his mind, or in typical Hollywood fashion, coked up.

Shithead (Brandon) goes on to say that her "Clitoris is 7 feet long" and even goes on to say that Wilmer Valderamma is in a "Mariachi Band" Paris is seen laughing, and encouraging him, while her publicist walks along! What the Fuck? Why did he not slap the shit out her and stop her and atleast try to protect his client from being involved?



If anyone has a firecrotch it would be Herpes infested cum bucket Parisite Hilton! What pisses me off even more is that Perez Hilton disses Brandon on his blog over the incident, yet leaves his "cuz" Parisite, out of it! I'm a fan of his site, but I think Perez is selling out to this talentless slutbag.

Perez...CALL HER OUT and keep it real!

Gemma's dilemma





IMG's Gemma Ward talks about her rants and raves on the industry. I love Gemma's beautiful doe like qualities, and down to earth girl next door attitude. Don't let the nice girl act fool you, this bitch is fierce on the catwalk.

Judge it for yourself...




I've been listening to this relatively new song by new girl on the block Cassie. Cassie also moonlights with Wilhelmina Models. Judging a cover by- um, CD, (?!) I thought that there might be some substance to this...The girl is produced by New York City "it boy" Ryan Leslie. The music is heavy on the sexy and the beat is pretty catchy.
It's nice to see that this model is smart enough to expand herself into other sectors, and seems to be doing so successfully, but unlike others who have tried, she seems to be the only one who's had mass market appeal within the music industry. Something not even Ms. Fierce Tyra could do.

Don't take my word for it. Judge it for yourself.

The Tribeca shit festival


Rant: The Tribeca Film Festival.


The Tribeca Film Festival is a bunch of shit. I can't believe that the film festival's highlight film is Flight 93 WTF? What a way to capatalize on the innocent victims of 911! Worst of all is, the festival isn't even having all of its screenings in Tribeca!

I think this craigslister said it the best...

"It's amazing how many films and parties and events want you to work for free for this big time event. The Tribeca Film Festival is supposed to be bringing jobs to lower Manhattan, they didn't say they were non paying jobs. It's perfect for actors or actresses, who want to act like they're having fun. It's a non paying job.... do it for the experience, for the fun, for the opportunity of a life time. Ohhh gawd man. Hey, I want to stand outside of an amazing party. I want to wear a suit, in 45 degree weather, while the Weinstein Brothers mingle inside. I live for this. I want to give a bunch of fancy pants movie industry assholes gift bags, for nothing. I don't even want the gift bag. I just want to see power brokers walk around a room, trying to get to the prime rib. This is just sad shit."
and the fuck you of the week goes to... Robert Dinero and all the movie stars, agents and prodcuer wanna be's who take away from stuggling film makers.

FUCK YOU!
