Sexy Vs Skanky

In terms of fashion, at the end of the day – you should do whatever you want BUT, that being said this is a really good quote by Edith Head (something the “rule of a lady” people forgot to mention!!).  Edith is an 8 time Academy Award winner for costume design and designed for some of the most beautiful women in the world – Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Sophia Loren.. just to name a few.

She really hits it on the nail with this…  I’ll be the first to admit that when I was younger I could have cared less about being a lady!  I was a geek for so long with a flat bum and no boobs that when I got some (a little) I was just like WOOHOO!  If I’m going clubbing or something I’ll wear whatever I feel good in but otherwise I think this is a great rule to have in mind when picking out an outfit.  Tight enough to show you’re a woman, loose enough to show you’re a lady.  DONE!

Good from Far, Far from Good.




While viewing pictures of the FHM Style Icon Awards I came across the thumbnail picture of Aarti Chabbria and thought, wow, she's looking pretty good! Then I clicked on the picture and KABLAMO...the phrase good from far, far from good came to mind.

I just do not understand this. She's an above average looking girl with nice skin, hair and a nice body... WHY do you HAVE to pack on the makeup and wear contacts? We know you weren't born with baby blue eyes, and we're not going to think you look any better because you have them on, we're just going to look and think "contacts!".

Ok, I guess the contact thing I can overlook because she doesn't usually wear them (just Google Aarti Chabbria if you don't know her), and I'm ok with her wearing them just to change things up and have some fun. If she does start wearing them all the time (like a certain ex Miss India Universe *cough Celina Jaitley cough* ) I'm going to have to go to Mumbai and hold an intervention for all the starlets and wannabe actresses out there. I'm so sick of the whole coloured contacts thing...it seems like every model and actress in India is sporting them and it's like that whole culture is obsessed with looking Caucasian. If you flip through an Indian magazine and look at all the models, 90% are Indian and have coloured contacts on, and the other 10% are Caucasian. Not to mention most of the ads are Indian girls advertising skin lightening creams with contacts on.. as if all Indian girls are suddenly going to have light skin and green eyes by putting on some Fair & Lovely. *Rolls eyes*.
I wish Asians would get over the obsession of looking like a Caucasian person... we don't need to do eyelid surgery, nor do we need to use skin lightening creams. Tans are hot! (And this girl really needs to find a foundation shade that matches her true skin tone.)

What Recession?

Sigh, to be David Beckham's wife would be a dream come true. Hours and hours of massages, manicuring, pedicuring, shopping, botox treatments, picking up three amazingly cute kids, not eating, and then coming home to my hot hubby...ah... the dream life - except for the not eating part (hello, previous post about Pretzels and McDonalds!).

Seriously though, Queen Victoria Beckham a.k.a Posh Spice clearly lives in her own little world, one in which there is no recession, and no qualms about money. Here she is seen showing off a Christmas gift from David, a Hermes Himalayan Birkin.

What's so special about this bag? It happens to be one of only three in the world, it has diamond hardware (most noticeably a 3 carat diamond on the lock), and the waitlist for this bag has been closed. Those that were lucky enough to be put on the waitlist have to wait at least four years. According to the Dailymail the price tag is a staggering $120, 000USD.

While I would covet a Birkin, this one is a little too OTT...even for me. I just don't think I would ever feel comfortable wearing or receiving such an ostentatious gift. If I were married to David, I think breakfast in bed from my hubby would suffice as an amazing Christmas present ;)

OTT and Loving It!


Over the top (ott) and fabulously tacky I couldn't resist taking a picture of these nails! All class I pretty much stared at them and was blinded by their "blingyness". Ok I have to admit, I'm kind of digging them, even though they're ridiculously tacky, at least they're not shy about it and it's so in your face that you just cannot ignore them - much like a Leiber clutch!
