Love the hair in this shoot.

THE SEA IS WARM

I'm supposed to be packing for Thailand....yeah. Little did I know I would quickly become introduced to fine artist Robert McGinnis tonight. Born in 1926, you get a grate since of the vintage feel in his compositions and subject matter. (He is known for the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" movie poster!) I am in love with the way he incorporates patterned textiles into the work, features a woman's bare/almost bare back, and the fact that he creates dynamic compositions with a touch of seduction. Oh, and don't forget about his inclusion of fabulous accessories.

 

 

 

 

Time to move back into packing. I must narrow my bike short selection down to just a few pairs instead of six. Or maybe not. To be worn under short high waisted floral skirts, right?

Girl, I Love Your Curves

The new Lara Stone shoot for Vogue UK, "Gypsy Girl", has me screaming: Hooray for femininity!

I have to say, though... I like her more when she looks a bit more abstract/disturbing.

L'AME DU VOYAGE

 

Lorenz Baumer may have a history at Chanel, but his new jewelry design position at Louis Vuitton is giving the fashion haus a new edge. 

His first collection for LV is based on his love of travel. I love the use of the classic LV symbols in a gaudy design. Circles keep the necklace harmonious and are repeated in multiple pieces from the collection. “In all the cultures, civilizations and trips that I’ve encountered, there are always circles, and they always symbolize perfection.” The necklace pictured above includes white and yellow gold, multicolored sapphires, mandarin garnets, and yellow diamonds. 

But, you may have to open up an Am Ex black card account for these diamonds - the price range goes up to $2.5 million.

Love this quote:

Lara Stone on Love's new issue. Kind of reminds me of....

Women are Jaded, albiet Well-Heeled.

Dior Shoes

A poll taken by one thousand women has revealed interesting findings:
Glendon Lloyd's tszuji.co.uk website (they sell shoe storage solutions) discovered that less than 2 out 3 could remember who their first kiss was, yet 92% can recall buying their first pair of footwear with their own money. Oh, and 95% say they regret throwing a pair out, while 15% regret giving a boyfriend the boot.
Can you remember your first kiss or your first shoes (or both)?

TUESDAY MORNING

Although we've been plagued by finals, the light at the end of the tunnel is shining, and I cannot wait for the free time ahead. Christmas shopping, shopping for myself, decorating my apartment, and not having anything be due.

Time for a futuristic bounce. And a photo dump below.

 

WHAT'S UP, MONSTERS?

 I attended Lady Gaga's Monster Ball last night.

And my love for her was simply HEIGHTENED.

I am still unsure of which costume was my favorite,

as each was so beautifully complex and different.

Apart from the chizzeled, energy driven backup dancers

and Gaga's amazing abs,

my favorite part of the show was  the costume change

and backdrop videos.

I LOVE the opening video, and how she had the room filled

with dry ice to push the "Dance in the Dark" theme.
Also, there was a great video she played in which she was talking
about her fans. In the video, she is sitting in a studio with multiple
different scary nuclear bomb masks on. One look even resembles
an Egyptian statuette. The film was freaky and inspiring.
And, I love that it freaked out the crowd.

(When this intro started up and she first appeared on the stage,

I lost it. I was like a screaming teen seeing the Beatles exit a jet plane.)

Her LED costume was fantastic, and I love the way that

her costume change videos were shot. Awkward movements, angles, fantastic

fashion, etc. Everything you would expect from Ms. Stefanie.


This vid was also amazing. The McQueen 12 inchers made it,
and the corsetry is beautiful.

As for MY COSTUME, I wore one of the new futuristic looking leotards
from the Sonia Rykiel for H&M collection. It was black and purple
and very Gagaesque. Then, I wore fishnets and boots (to stay comfortable while
dancing!) and I constructed a mask on my face out of gold pipecleaners. I attached
a vertical square to the top and filled the negative space with black lace. It looked
great, and held up! Pictures to follow. :)

Perhaps my favorite costume of hers:

Love you, girl.
