Smile With Your Drunk Eyes.

Every supermodel has a signature look and pose. Tyra has the over the shoulder. Kate has the hungry coke face. I guess you can say I adopted those two looks and fused them together. I have the coked out over the shoulder drunk face. Just look at me exude fierce eyes sex appeal while modeling a jug of Tampico with Vaaka Vodka. Yummy.

I am SO Lindsay Lohan. Where are my black leggings?!

Yummy Yummy Screw: Brad Fisher Edition.

I picked up Esquire's Big Black Book today and saw New York Artist/Ford Model Brad Fisher all over the magazine. This guy is mucho delish. Rugged with salt & pepper hair. And an artist! A girl can only dream.

Yummy Yummy Screw, Non?!

Even The Tiniest Purchase Is Being Affected.

I am the quintessential recessionista: I had to give up pieces of luxury and spend it on practicality. Basically,I have to sometimes have that "quantity over quality" mentality now even though I want to be vice versa. Don't get me wrong, I still have my crazy splurges: Chanel necklaces, Marc Jacobs hat, etc. But those are pieces that you can recycle and never go out of style. You can outfit couture with a pair of H&M denim (which is awesome since they have a Balmain powder blue denim jean right now!) with some Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses. My biggest splurge at recently was a MacBook because my PC which I loved, built, and had for over 4 1/2 years got busted. It needs to retire. It couldn't keep up with new updated technology. A laptop is totally practical in my lifestyle even though it's not in the recession sense.

I also had to cut back on purchasing magazines. I'm that type of person who is never satisfied purchasing American Vogue, W, and Harper's Bazaar. I will go through great lengths to drive 15 minutes away to this cute magazine stand that sells L'Uomo Vogue (Men's Italian Vogue A.K.A. THE BIBLE), Hercules, and the new British magazine LOVE. European magazines, although filled with rich content, GREAT editorials, and ACTUAL models on the cover, can be very pricey ranging from $10-15 a pop! These publishers know that they are very affected by this so most great magazines decided to be on the blogosphere and has found a new outreach to the fashionably yet recession-hit consumer.

Check any magazine website and they have blogs. Some even have blogs on blogspot! Great style blogs have surfaced such as BryanBoy.com, a 22-year old Filipino who lives in my third-world country of the Philippines, has become a fashion superstar, bumping shoulders with French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld and is a big Marc Jacobs fan to the point where Marc himself has noticed him and has named a bag after him in his Fall/Winter '08 collection. There is also a great blog that I follow run by fashion photographer Scott Schumann (thesartorialist.com), a man who had a passion for great tailored style, has become a big hit in the world, that he has landed a gig with DKNY jeans. He also modeled for the GAP!

And for the men out there! Check out contributingeditor.blogspot.com, an online magazine with great photographers and actual working male models. It beats spending $15 on a European magazine.

Sidetrack: I'm at Coffee Bean and I just spotted gay icon Carol Channing. My inner queen just came out.

Anyways, support you fashion sites. Because I want to be as impacting as them. As what Madonna told Dick Clark when he asked her what she wanted to do in the future during her starting "Lucky Star" days..

"I WANT TO RULE THE WORLD"





Yummy Yummy Screw, no?

Gisele, I Don't Like You Yet I Respect Your Craft.

As much as i rant about Gisele being crappy supermodel in the sense of her attitude and views on the fashion industry, she is a damn good supermodel. La Bundchen has narrow hips and tends to give the illusion of curves. She can do action shots as well as couture poses without starving herself. Take a look at this month's issue of Harper's Bazaar (a magazine which i totally prefer over American Vogue lately) where she poses as the supermodels of yesteryear such as Veruschka, Twiggy, and Jerry Hall. Don't bother reading her mini-interview because it's practically useless. In another magazine, she talks about Tom Brady's child as her own. That's such a slap in the face to Bridgette Moynahann...yet again. Get over yourself girl. As horrible to say it is..."Don't talk, just pose."


Girl...

The 90's Are Definitely Back.

Remember the days of the Supermodel? Where they where as famous as A-List Actors? Well, The influences in fashion and it's former top supermodels are making a comback. You have seen Linda in Prada, Naomi in DSquared2 (Although she never really left), Claudia in Chanel, and Christy in Ballys. The cougars are back.

Although, less famous yet equally exciting was seeing Brandi Quinones (now signed with Ford Models) walking for Givenchy F/W '10 two days ago. Scouted in a mall at the age of 15, Brandi’s modeling career took off on the runways of Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier and Yves Saint Laurent. She was featured on the covers of Elle and Vogue, and landed a spectacular 1994 debut as the first girl of color (A feisty Latina) in a Chanel campaign! We haven’t seen much of Brandi since the late 90’s, but we were delighted to hear that she was picked up by Ford in December 2008.

P.S. I LOVE Givenchy.

P.P.S. I need Brandi's cheekbones.
