“Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.” -Lao Tzu
I love love love lingerie that you wear outside...as clothes. Love it. I wrote a post a while back introducing you to an AMAZING line of couture lingerie called Bordelle... After discovering their "Angela Corset Dress" today, my love for Bordelle's designs deepened. Big time. It's a HEART SHAPED CORSET DRESS...omg. Out of control...
“A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so unbearable that we are compelled to alter it every six months.” -Oscar Wilde
We are at a fashion "code red" Glamettes...prepare for battle.
The title of this post may seem a little dramatic to you... Actually, if you are a fellow Glamour Whore, nothing is ever too dramatic...what was I thinking?! Anyway...I'm disturbed. Seriously disturbed and distressed. I woke up today and went about my usual morning/afternoon (I like my sleep...don't judge me!), the routine being... Stretch, yawn...get up. Walk to fridge...ice cold pepsi (I said don't judge me!!) Bathroom. Apply moisturizer to my freshly washed face. Take ice cold pepsi to my desk, smoke my morning/afternoon marlboro light (ok, judge me) and start my morning surfing. I get the news first, because being current event ignorant isn't sexy... After I read all of the, usually depressing, news and weather reports I get down to business. Beauty and Fashion news. I start surfing sites from all over the world looking for pertinent information to bring my readers. One of my very favorite sites "The Frisky" which I usually love ran a story that put me in a tailspin which over the course of the day escalated into full-fledged FEAR. The god-awful news that damn near gave me a stroke? An article titled "Dig Out Your Scrunchies—They’re Back In Style!" I REFUSE to accept this and will not allow those hideous, unsightly fashion fails to resurface...REFUSE!!
Now like I said, I was disturbed by the imminent threat of a "scrunchie revival" but little did I know that it was just the tip of the bad fashion iceberg...
Later on in the afternoon I was watching video footage of the upcoming Bravo series "Kell On Earth", a reality series premiering in February about Fashion PR guru Kelly Cutrone and she made a statement that put the fear of God in me... She said (in reference to her show and what you can expect) "You'll be able to learn about the skort...for men. This is a whole big trend right now. It's a skirt/short for men. It's a huge trend in New York, in rockbands and gay men" Omg....this has the potential to be a DISASTER!!! The skort may be the WORST invention EVER. EVER. Seriously...EVER. And a male skort is a act of war dammit...
I did a little research and this trend leads back to Marc Jacobs... I feel so betrayed. Dammit Jacobs, I always supported you...how could you do this?!
And Kelly, you are just being irresponsible by encouraging this nonsense...smh
Scrunchies?! Male Skorts?! A recipe for disaster...What if Perez Hilton starts running around in a skort?! Then what?! Who's paying for the medication and the stay at a mental health facility I'm gonna need after the sight of that?!
We are at a fashion "Code Red"...Good taste is being attacked and I will not stand by and let it happen...I will fight the good fight. So consider yourselves warned scrunchies and skorts!!
“It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.” -Deepak Chopra
Marie Claire.fr has a editorial in this months issue featuring babies and jewelry... Some people have referred to it as "creepy" or even "disturbing". Ummmm...why? What's the problem? I love babies and I love jewelry. Put them together and that's love x love. Perfect. Lighten up people...
P.S I really really want that cuff on that adorable baby's chubby lil arm...
*In Mexico, blue is the color of mourning. *Blue, blue-green, and green are sacred colors in Iran, where they symbolize paradise. *In Aztec culture, blue symbolized sacrifice. *In Greece, the color blue is believed to ward off "the evil eye." Those who believe in this Greek superstition often wear a blue charm necklace or blue bracelet for protection. *In India, paintings of the god Krishna often depict him as having blue skin.
It's been awhile since I've mentioned/featured Mz.Amber Rose, although I make no secret of the fact that I adore and admire her unique style. Yep. I like her. Get over it.
Mz.Rose has kept a pretty low profile lately. A pic or two of her and her male companion/accessory Kanye pop up now and then but for the most part she has been under the fashion radar lately. Until last night. Last night Amber lit up Atlanta (sans Ye) sporting an "electric blue" shade of lipstick that had her all over the internet this morning.
I know what you think I'm gonna say....that I "love love loved it"...right? Sort of. What I actually love, love, loved is that she wore it. However.... IF SHE WAS MY CLIENT... I would have suggested a much more flattering shade of blue for her hair color and skin-tone...such as: Limecrime's (yes, my favorite:) "Oh No She Didn't"
I feel that Amber could really do this unique lipstick justice and vice versa. I also see it as a much better shade of blue for her complexion/hair color...
Have a look at the color in "action" courtesy of a fab a post from Limecrime's creator Doe Deere's Blogzine:
P.S Peep the FAB tat on Raquel Reed's leg in the pic above...love love love it.
I would like to thank the AMAZING Necole Bitchie for the pix of Amber Rose. Please visit Necole's fab blog to see many more pix and get the hottest (and more importantly...ACCURATE) news before anyone else.

You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea” -Earl Nightingale
Scene: Glamour Whore in front of the mirror in the bathroom. Her very long, thick hair divided into sections. Cutting shears in hand. Phone rings. GW contemplates letting it go to voicemail but reconsiders and answers the call from a good friend.
Glamour Whore: Hello... Friend: What's good? Watcha doin? Glamour Whore: I'm about to cut my hair. Friend: How short?! Glamour Whore: Fairly short. Bob-like. Friend: WHAT?!?! Hell No!! Don't do it... You'll regret it. Glamour Whore: Hmmmm...maybe your right. I just... Friend: Just what? Glamour Whore: I don't know... Need a change or something. I'm bored. Friend: Bored? With your hair? Glamour Whore: Good question... I don't know. Just bored. Friend: Well, if you cut off all that hair because you're bored... you're gonna be mad tomorrow. Glamour Whore: Hmmmm....you might be right. I'll call you back...kisses.
So I started thinking. I wasn't bored with my hair. I was just bored. I needed something... Makeup? nope. As a Pro MUA I have literally every cosmetic product available. Clothes/Shoes? Nope. My bedroom is jam packed. Couldn't fit another piece of clothing or another pair of shoes in it if I tried...
I know!!!! Accessories. Yup. One thing I learned early on in life from my fashionable female family members: When looking to change up your style, look no further than new accessories. A new collection of belts, jewelry, hats, scarves, etc can revamp your whole look/wardrobe.
I thought to myself... I don't need to chop off my hair, I just need some new "head/hair" accessories. Now if only I had enough self control to stop at my head. But...nope. That's not my style...
I ended up finding a few necklaces, rings, bracelets, hell...I even found a harness I must have. Yes. A Harness... Let me share my findings...
This is my FAVORITE.... It can be made with any number you choose.
The Harness:
Finger/Wrist Area (Yes, you guessed it... Shopbop)
And I will add these accessories to my signature outfit: a wifebeater, a great fitting pair of jeans, fierce boots, a luxe bag and my trademark pink lips:
