Although my family is crazy and borderline psycho, we have gorgeous genes. LOL! I am very happy to announce that my beautiful cousin had her beautiful baby boy and the beautiful baby boy is going to have a beautiful godmother....which is ME! naturally. Can't wait to enlighten and nurture this child's mind, teaching him tolerance and what is appropriate to wear for each season. Don't worry, I will never put ruffles on my godson...let's leave the ruffles to me!
Speaking of ruffles, maybe it'll be cute if I wear my Viktor & Rolf ruffled tuxedo shirt to the Christening! LOL!
Chyes?!
Every hetrosexual person envies a gay man's body. We know that although personality is important in the world of dating, physicality is also.
The masculine side: There are two paths a gay man can go physically: ultra-masculine and ultra-feminine. David Beckham, Brad Pitt...these men are definitely influenced by gay culture. You can tell they take care of their bodies in the gym. And gay men built the gym. HAHA! Come on, because of gay men, the gym has been popularized since the 1970's. And if you see guys in straight clubs who sport Ed Hardy on their hard bodies acting machismo, they can definitely blend in at a gay club also. Ironic huh since these guys are usually the homophobes. I see straight gym bunnies looking like total gay guys with thier dye jobs and gem-studded shirts.
The femme side: Women love befriending the skinny gay. Because they envy their skinny bodies and wish they had the same slender silhouette. This is the path I can definitely relate. These gays are the type who follow the feminine trends and fashion. And yes, I have a big girl following. I collect "Alternative Lifestyle Companions" (better than saying fag hag) like Pokemon cards. I have different types and all are FIERCE!
Basically, the physical upkeep is important because gay people are vain and we always try to beat the next bitch next to us..all the time. It's always a competition out there. America's Next Top Model, American Gladiators...same GAY CONCEPT!
Mariel Haenn, Rihanna’s amazing stylist, has been interviewed by My Fashion File. Obviously, she was asked about RiRi. And in case you haven’t realized, the beautiful Mariel was seen with Rihanna at Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010.
Which trends from the Spring/Summer 2010 catwalks are you getting excited about?
Some spring/summer trends that I’m excited about are bold bright colors and big accessories…lots of flowy silks, satins, and chiffons. I especially love that jumpsuits are going to be big for spring.
Who or what influences your creativity when styling your clients?
My clients influence me a lot, and many times they have a good idea of what type of look they want to achieve. Runway shows and Old iconic movies definitely give me inspiration. Grace Jones is one of the top influencers of my work.
If you could get your stylistic hands on any celebrity who would it be, and how would you style them?
Luckily I have the one celebrity I would love to work with (Rihanna) but if I had to choose some one it would be Lady Gaga. I love what she does for entertainment but I would love to bring her into a more everyday look of her creative expression.
Has the international recession affected the way you style your clients?
The recession hasn’t so much affected the way I style because I work with every price range of clothes but not necessarily all high end.
Which cities in the world are your favorite for seeking new inspiration?
My favorite cities are Japan, London, Paris, and New York.
Out of all the people and fashion shoots you have styled which has been your personal favorite look?
Wow! Personal favorite look might be Rihanna at 2008 AMA awards performance look (studded bustier and eye patch) or Ciara feat. Justin Timberlake “Love Sex Magic” video.
Rihanna’s style has evolved from Barbadian island girl to bonafide style icon, which you are partly responsible for. How did you decide on the drastic change?
Rihannas evolution was a natural progression that worked with the evolution of her music. When I first started working with her she was in her baggy jean phase and my goal was to make her a little more cutting edge and sexy and over time continued to push the envelope.
What fashion trend do you wish had been kept in the designers studio?
I wish that crocs never left the design lab! Although I’m all about comfort but we can do better that!
What fashion trend do you think will stand the test of time?
I think that the rocker chic look is going be around for awhile. A few other styles that I’m loving right now and will probably stand the test of time are from the Saks Fifth Avenue Fall 2009 Want It! campaign presented by MasterCard. Key pieces within that campaign include looks like: the strong shoulder, rocker boots, leggings, mixed metal necklaces, cozy knits, the neck loop, the forever bag, the vest, three-piece dressing for men and the lacquered lip. All items can be found at Saks Fifth Avenue or on Saks.com and you can use the “the little black card,” the Saks Fifth Avenue World Elite MasterCard for purchases in and out of Saks to earn rewards towards your next Saks purchase.
How would you describe your own personal style?
My personal style is street-chic, and I like to wear comfortable clothes with great shoes, bags and lots of jewelry.
What top tips do you have for our readers when it comes to developing a personal style?
When developing a personal style I suggest lots of research, magazine tear sheets and references that you like to get a good sense of what you’re looking to achieve. Start slow and don’t try to redo your whole closet at one time
Thank You RIhannaDaily for the picture.
I am very happy to know that Fall is finally here. It's finally raining in the streets of L.A. I love this weather. I stashed my summer clothes in the darkest part of my closet and pulled out all the thick knits, scarves, jackets, and dark clothes. What am I saying? I always wear dark clothing but in this season, it gets more interesting. As much as I love this season, I'm kind of hoping that it can flash 6 months so I can purchase something from Alexander McQueen's S/S '10 collection, "Plato's Atlantis". The collection is whimsical' the prints are AMAZING and the shoes are to die for. No need to see and adore any other collection. This is hands down the important collection for the upcoming season. Just check out Karlie Kloss working the sea nymph aesthetic.
Anyways, this season makes me feel more alive. I find more energy and romance in these times. The atmosphere of L.A. even feels more bearable. It's my rebirth. I was finally convinced to join Twitter. For the past year, people eg me to sign up for one because they would love to see me rant about my cynical, sarcastic, fabuleux, and over-the-top life. I was also informed that it can boost my blog's traffic. I really want to spread this blog. I know there's a lot of fashion blogs out there. And there's a lot of GAYSIANS who blog about fashion. But I think my point of view is better. I mean...come on....I'm way cuter.
Oh...SO FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER. i promise, I will make your day. Click on my cute photo!
UPDATE!: RIHANNA'S COMING BACK! THERE'S A RELEASE DATE!! EXCITED!!!!!
The reason I haven't updated lately is because I have been busy. Ok..that's not the only reason. I also got lazy, I have to deal with stress emotionally, personally, and physically and blogging about it is not my way to relieve things. I finally can say that things have changed and I feel better now. I have surrounded myself with great people as of late and weeded out the people who can anchor me down or slow my personal growth.
Fashion Updates: I ordered another Balmain jacket. yeah yeah...One is enough but I need one in black. And one from the Fall/Winter collection. Today is the start of fall and it's 68 degrees. That's pretty crisp for Los Angeles weather. So I pulled out my Viktor & Rolf shirt and Dolce&Gabanna tartan bow tie out of my archived closet and sported it today. Parisian chic is my aesthetic for this season. Think Emmanuelle Alt and Francoise Hardy as an inspiration. A good friend, Kayla opened my eyes to a Balenciaga high heel boot that is subtle enough for me to wear. I try my best to stay androdgynous without wearing women's shoes but this one is a good one to wear. And of course, my fashion icon Rihanna will always be an inspiration.
Personal Updates: I'm skinny. Okay that is not an update. Duh. I'm going to be a fairy godmother. My cousin is going to pop out a bundle of joy and I AM VERY EXCITED! My own living doll HAHA! I will do my best to inspire the child in every aspect, not only fashion-wise. I already have a cute outfit to wear for the baby christening. Think RUFFLES! My other cousin also had a baby and it's the cutest thing ever! I need to use these children to find me a man. Gaybies are the newest accesory to a gay man's life!
That is basically the important shit in my life right now. Very blessed right now. Time for some slideshows!
It was a Safari theme and I was the only ho to be festive. Ugh Leave it to me to upstage the preggo lady. So Carrie Bradshaw of me.
Baby: Cute
Baby throwing up on my silk Roberto Cavalli silk tuxedo shirt: Not Cute
