"Every rose has its thorn:- you never find a woman without pins and needles”
-Douglas Jerrold
2 random facts about Glamour Whore. 1) Lately, I find most people's idea/sense of glamour, style, fashion and sexiness to be seriously LACKING and BORING. Yeah, I said it.... 2) I have always found the rose to a be a boring bloom. Just too cliche for me.
With that being said I am tickled that the woman who I feel has the most glamorous, fashionable look out there at the moment is a rose. Amber Rose. She has re-ignited my passion for fashion, makeup and style. Amber is at the moment best known for being Kanye west's on-again off-again girlfriend. That however, is selling her short. The 25 year old Philly started out in music videos and "adult modeling" (Don't judge. Everyone starts somewhere.)I saw some of the photographs and in my opinion they are tasteful. All of that is behind her now. She is officially signed with Ford Models. I'm glad they had the good sense to snap her up. She made an appearance in a Louis Vuitton ad campaign with Kanye and it's clear she was born to model.
I love love love her look. The very very close haircut works on her in a way that no else could accomplish. She generally doesn't need a whole face full of makeup. Usually just a swipe of a fabulous hued lipstick and some eye catching accessories and voila... she's the most striking in the room.
Some of her best looks:
The 2009 BET Awards. She had the best makeup look of the night. Accomplished simply with lipstick. What a fabulous shade of lipstick it is...
The CFDA Awards with Kanye West
At the Stella McCartney Show in Paris during Fashion Week
At the opening of the Roberto Cavalli store in Paris wearing the "chain shades"
Attending The Metropolitan Opera's 125th Anniversary Gala
Told you it was tasteful...
Louis Vuitton Sneaker Campaign with Kanye West
