I Like The Way You Move

As a fashion icon I get flown almost everywhere. One thing I love is when national sports figures want to meet me because they want to learn how they too can dress fashionably. I often go to a lot of fashion shows around the world. This past month I have been to Bodybuilding Fitness NPC Fashion Week (BFNPCFW), National Hunting Fashion Week (NHFW), and then I went to the gym. So I got invited to Equinox gym because this trainer was so sucky at being a trainer that they called me in. I often get called into gyms to whip clients into even better shape. I do this by standing in front of them. All they have to do is look at me and look at my clothes and know that they will look as good if they burn off all their fat and replace that fat with clothes. Oh and then I went to a water park where I accidentally dropped my ring under a miniature Jeep and a strongman lifted it up for me. I was shocked and so achingly amazed. How amazing. 


FYI I went turkey and pheasant hunting and with the birds I killed, Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano are collaborating on an entire fashion collection for me called Bird Couture and it's going to be entirely edible.

Happy HOLLA!-days

WWDD? (What Would Disney Do?), I'll tell you what he would do. OMG, my Holidays were amazing. I wanted to share with y'all what a great time I had. Walt Disney posthumously took notice of my amazing fashioness and he flew me down to Florida to take part in Disneyworld Christmas Fashion Week RTW (DCFW Ready to Wear). Ryan Seacrest is uber jealous of moi because Walt likes me better. FYI if you wondered where Anna Wintour and Betsey Johnson were this season they were with me. It was such a great experience and I even got to be part of a Manger Nativity Scene (MNS). I'm pretty sure Betsey stole baby Jesus. I invited my younger cousin along so she could meet the real Santa and sit on his lap. I never knew how fat Mrs. Claus was until I got up close. I think she shops at Dress Barn, I didn't know they had those in the North Pole. 


Wait till you see my partying with the Jews for Hanukah ;-)

Only A Moment In Time

Blogging fascinates me. I read multiple blogs and see blogs that have thousands of followers and I realize that it does take work but what I also know is that it is a very short-lived personality that gets created. It's nice that people have become famous just because of their blogs, but it also buys into the flash in the pan type of fame. The fame that I feel lacks integrity. Kim Kardashian is famous for making a sex tape and having a big ass. So does that mean if I hang out with Paris Hilton and give a homeless guy a blow job I too can be famous? Then we have people that are well known because they can cheekily write about Lanvin's latest collection or the way they put clothes together, even if it winds up being a hideous combination. I am baffled. It is fun to live vicariously through others. 


All I know is everyone should blog because the blog world is not saturated like it may appear. There will be a time when these well-known bloggers get bored, give it up or just age out of the trend. I personally know I definitely want to hear about the awesome Proenza Schouler jacket that hot 20-something is wearing, but I don't want to hear about the awesome Proenza Schouler jacket that 60-something is taking off because she's having a hot flash. 

THIS WORLD IS FUCKED AND PEOPLE ARE WEIRD, BUT I LOVE IT

Two Gods, The Masters of Balenciaga and Givenchy

I feel that fashion has no value unless it stimulates me and inspires me in some way. This is what separates fashion from just clothing. Clothing is a necessity in order to stay warm and prevent indecency. For me fashion is a necessity to feel alive. I think the most powerful fashion designers invoke feelings in me. Right now I am in love with Nicholas Ghesquière of Balenciaga and Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, they are truly Gods. Their designs invoke feelings in me that no fashion designers ever will be able to. They have the ability to create fashion that is a right mix of avant-garde and wearable. Tisci has breathed life into Haute Couture and Ghesquière has churned out covetable items that I would eat nothing but ramen for a year in order to buy his work.

LD Tuttle Shaper Boots and Other Boots I Crave

These are by far my favorite over-the knee boots. Supple leather, black nubuck and oh so sexy. I bought them at Shirise, perfect for fall. Boots can make an outfit better. I could wear a trash bag, but still feel amazing with the right boots on. Boots can also be used to kick your enemy in the chin or the shin. The problem I run into with most over the knee boots is they are too baggy around the knee. The LD Tuttle Shapers mold to my leg and don't just go above the knee, but all the way up to the thigh. The elastic is more hidden and a smaller panel than what I saw on the Stuart Weitzman 50/50 boots. I loved the Weitzman's as well, but for a bit more money I got boots that I feel will last longer.

Hudson Resurrection and Denim I Lust After

They are expensive and really different looking, but I still want them. I first saw the Hudson Resurrection jeans at Barneys Co-op in NYC. It figures they didn't have them in Chicago. I tried them on and then realized the price tag was a pretty $995, say what? The jeans are constructed from vintage pairs of jeans and sewn by hand. I normally despise patchwork anything. Patchwork to me or at least how it is usually executed looks like hippies that mask their body odor with patchouli or it looks like Miss Mary Homemaker that has a bun in the oven (figuratively and literally speaking). These jeans don't resemble that or at least the pair I tried on, but I can't afford and even if I could, I don't think I could justify it when there are people in the world starving. These jeans are bitchin though.

Some other jeans I really like, that I probably won't buy, but I like to look at them.

My New Design for a Feather Coat and Getting Shit on by a Pigeon

No offense to PETA, but I dislike pigeons. Not the Nike Sb Pigeons, but the bird, pigeons. For several reasons and yesterday just gave me another reason. On my way to Trader Joes a pigeon shit on my knee cap, not to mention I was riding my bike. I was a moving target and I still got shit on! Now someone told me that getting shit on by a bird is good luck, so maybe I shouldn't hate on the pigeon. Let's face it pigeons aren't the brightest of birds. If they were smart they would get out of the way sooner, I have almost run them over many a times. Even thought I dislike the birds, I wouldn't want to kill one, I would get hurt too. On the bright side I was wearing Juicy Couture jeans that are over fives years old. Now if I had been wearing my PRPs or my Diesel 8b3 Matic, I would have climbed onto the El tracks and bitched that bird out.


My new design for a jacket features feathers, from pigeons. If designers started using rat fur, why not use pigeon feathers (btw I like John Updike), after all they are just rats with wings. I found a coat on mytheresa.com that is insane by Balmain and made out of feathers. If I had the money I would buy this coat and wear it for Halloween. I'm the same thing every year for Halloween, a hooker, because it's easy (no pun intended) so this coat would be perfect.

Those Birds sure know how to ruffle some feathers.
