rare and random vent.

if i trashed rooms or hit people every time they pissed me off, i'd be in jail. so would you. i am so over the bratty, self-entitlement nature of these kids these days. that includes your boy, blondie. tip: forgive yourself and move on. you can't make anyone else do the same. boy bye. click here for the background. p.s. - i'd love to talk about the ridiculous fans who refuse to call a duck a duck. but i suddenly realize that it's not worth the time it takes to type it out.

"uglier than precious."

if i hear fat joe say "uglier than precious" one more 'gain ... he says it in his song, haha and minutes ago just used the line to describe his flow on live tv, 106 and park.

um, am i the only one who doesn't notice much difference between their physical features. i didn't think so. i mean other than skin tone and some facial hair, not much. some may even say if we put a wig on him and sat him in some sun - they'd be twins! fat joe, stop. gq won't be calling you any time soon. and your flow is not that sick.

i'm just saying.

omg becky. look at her butt.

i find it absolutely hilarious that the new york daily news is calling big butts this summer's new trend. umm ... helloooo. big butts have been "in" even before sir mix alot told us in 1992 that his anaconda don't want none unless you got buns. even before bell, biv and devoe told us in '89 that you can't trust a big butt and a smile.

could it be that maybe they're just catching on to the appeal of a pronounced derrier? took them long enough. some of us have known for quite some time that a lil' junk in the trunk ain't never hurt no one.

it's funny though. women who once worked so hard to get rid of that extra back action are now doing exercises to accentuate their behinds. and of course, surgeons are laughing all the way to the bank as they are doing more and more butt implants. read our numbers don't lie post for the stats.

the summer of 2002, i think, was the first time i witnessed a chick wearing butt pads. i was in miami for memorial day and i spotted it from across the street. i was shocked. are chicks really wearing butt pads, i thought.

so while we're talking butts, tell me what you think. would you spend some money for surgery or pads like angel lola luv and nicki minaj? or are you in the gym straight working it out like ki toy? or are you a serena or kim kardashian and naturally shaking what your momma gave you? or are you reading this shaking your head and thinking that all of this butt talk is utterly ridiculous?
you tell me.

leon verres to vogue and its editor: f*** you.

designer, leon verres has a very loud and clear message for vogue and its editor, anna wintour:

you heard him. but can't we all just get along, you say? nope. here's why, he says, in his press release:

anna wintour and her vogue have been taken the fashionistas for fools for many years. she presents perfectly styled hollywood stars in luxurious outfits and declares that to be the new trend. besides that i do not know anyone with common sense who considers such extravagantly styled fashion-zombies attractive, with its costly produced pseudo trends the vogue only attends on an elitist minority of the fashion world, which is out of touch with reality and dieing out. to sum it up. the american vogue has become obsolete as style authority long ago! the time has come for anna wintour to accept this and to let the true critics do their work. the true fashionistas on this planet - this means the 99% of the fashion consumers who do not read the vogue - prefer to support the army of fashion bloggers, which focuses on what real people in real life wear on the streets instead of showing over-stylized fashion photo series with extremely thin models.
fashion bloggers are the new kings of the world of fashion and i am one of their biggest supporters. it gives me a good feeling to know that i - as one of the very small number of designers who are independent of industry and media - am able to afford to have the stalin on stilettos as an enemy.

well tell us how you really feel leon. who kinda digs this dude's balls? (raising my hand) is he just a publicity clown or does he have a point? you tell me.

the uniform project.

question. how many days, in a row, no breaks, could you wear the same dress? 0? 7? 30?

how about 365? that's just what sheena matheiken did. determined to raise money for the akanksha foundation, a nonprofit that helps disadvantaged kids in india receive a quality education, matheiken wore the same LBD for a year straight. her efforts raised enough to send 233 kids to school for a year.

thrift shops and designers donated accessories to help matheison create new looks each day. and before you turn your nose up do know that matheison had 7 identical dresses so she didn't have to wash every night.

cnn asked her how she got ready each day. her response: "i didn't plan the outfits ahead of time. that was very important to me to keep it spontaneous because that's how i usually get ready. i wanted to keep it that way because that's how normally people get ready that way. you sort of look around, and i sort of gravitate to a few things like a hat, belt or shoes. i'm a big tights girl. i build off of one piece and add onto it. you go with what you feel like and throw things together."

she definitely had fun with the project. like wearing the dress as a sea creature for halloween and wearing it with gloves as a tribute to michael jackson when he died.

aside from raising money for a good cause, matheison hopes that her project will help people to "realize the value in their closet. "


thanks ronnell for the story lead.

will someone please tell oscar de la renta that you catch more bees with honey.

... than vinegar. duhh.

last year in april, i wrote a post about high profile designers, like oscar de la renta, whining over the first lady's fashion choices. several designers felt like they deserved a chance to dress the beautiful mrs. obama. instead, she had the nerve to mostly opt for up and coming designers like jason wu or j. crew. i dare she.

de la renta recently told the washington post that he'd love to dress our nation's first lady. he says that first ladies are "an american phenomenon....this country has always been very different about that. and it's a learning process. he was elected president. she wasn't. but at the same time, there's an expectation about her that perhaps she was not even ready for."

can we say spoiledbrat.com? has it occurred to mr. de la renta that mrs. obama may not care to subscribe to the expectation of how a first lady should dress? for some reason, i don't think mrs. obama cares one bit that that de la renta has dressed nancy reagan, hillary clinton and laura bush. i don't think she feels that she has to be anyone but who she is.

am i the only one who is turned off by his audacity? i absolutely love the fact that she dons looks by names we've never heard of as well as names that are easily accessible at the neighborhood mall.

sorry, oscar. she isn't obligated. and she's still one of the classiest women in the public eye. someone needs to get over himself. hmph.

happy mother's day.

happy mother's day to my own beautiful and wonderful, supermom! love her.
and also to all the other mommies, God-mommies, mommies-to-be, sugar-mommies ... enjoy your day!

throwback valentine's: yes, no, maybe.

remember the old school notes that you'd pass or receive in class back in elementary school?

do you like me? check yes, no or maybe

awww.

happy valentine's day sweets.

h&m, you can't be serious.

shame on h&m and walmart. according to the new york times, cynthia magnus, a graduate student, found bags of unworn and purposely destroyed clothing that had been discarded by h&m in the back of their store on west 35th street in ny. she also found clothes from walmart in the same condition.

photo from new york times

you mean to tell me someone, anyone, thought it was better to discard unworn clothing that hadn't been sold, rather than donate or recycle it?

nicole christie, a spokeswoman for the store says: "it will not happen again. we are committed 100% to make sure this practice is not happening anywhere else, as it is not our standard practice."

never mind the huge go-green iniative of practically the whole country. it's just dumb. if they're embarrassed, they should be.
