Kelis, You Leave Me Speechless

January 29th, 2010

Brace Yourself.

Dear Kelis: This is pretty much the textbook definition of “doing too much.”

kelis

Yes, Kelis generally serves up Drama. And this Avatar-inspired getup did not disappoint.

kelis2

I saw Avatar in 3D, and it really is a spectacularly fantasy-action work of beautifulness. It’s worth going just for the pretty. Kelis is a horrible knockoff of Avatar’s amazing blue people.

This terrifies me. The shoes terrify me. No way, no how, not even if I was sitting down… No.

But I won’t think less of her because of this outfit since she gave me the best summer jam of my life – BOSSY!

Do not be afraid.

Michelle Looks Berry Good

January 28th, 2010

Love this chick.

michelle_O_State2

The First Lady showed up in a raisin-colored 3/4-sleeve sweater dress with a high-waisted bubble skirt by Isaac Mizrahi.

Price Tag: $1850

Memo to the lady in lilac: This is how you do purple.

Mrs. O accessorized with a strand of pearls and an extra-sleek blowout.

The Verdict? Awesome all around. The dress, the hair, the skin.

And big-ups for not ruining it with a big belt, bow or brooch…

Heavenly Hairdos

January 26th, 2010

Dos and Don’ts of Red Carpet Hair

From updos to up-don’ts, awards show season makes for some serious red carpet hair watching.

mariah_carey_do

Do go for easy glam. MiMi’s simple low pony is oh so sexy and gives her earrings more room to shine. Ouch!

paula_patton_dont

Don’t go for limp locks. Someone forgot to tell Paula Patton that flat, hard-looking hair isn’t award show-worthy. Give this girl a curling iron!

zoe_saldana_do

Do go for bounce. Zoe knows bouncy curls and simple a side-part will be forever chic. Those smokey eyes don’t hurt either!

Next up… The Grammy Awards!

Pick Best Dressed

May 5th, 2009

They’re called supermodels for a reason.

Fashion’s A-List makes jaw-dropping appearances at the Costume Institute Gala. See photos, then pick Best Dressed.

gala_alekwek

Alex Wek is my FAVORITE look of the evening (Chanel Iman is a close second). Both women are just achingly beautiful.

gala_amber_kanye

My least favorite look is Kanye and Amber, only because they’ve fallen sin to boringness.

Check out the full fashion rundown and let me know what you think!

Rihanna Has a Gun

March 26th, 2009

Oh, because guns are sooo cool.

A message to Chris Brown maybe? Hit me again and I’ll shoot you! She should have just had them tattooed to her biceps and be done with it. Or maybe she should get a real gun, since she plans on staying with him. Yea, I said it.

rihanna_tatt

Gun jewelry and tatts are hip, edgy, counter-culture … I get it. It proves you’re unique and don’t give a F what people think … Ok, Ok. Whatev. You might as well start wearing Ed Hardy, too, to show how hardcore you are. Gag.

I have mix feelings, y’all. What do you think? Not that Rihanna needs our opinion…

Kanye Has Met His Match

March 9th, 2009

Ugh. Why can’t I go to Paris and just hang out and dress up with my man?

I love that she’s more of a diva than even Kanye.

Amber Rose, Kanye West

She completely puts Ye to shame. Amber Rose, you are fierce.

Nice pink sweater Kanye.

The girl looks like a million bucks and she’s fun to look at.

She’s one of those people who wears her hairstyle so well that it makes you start wondering, “I wonder if I could…?” The answer is probably not. But I will try looking that fierce in a fancier version of an elderly woman’s eyeglass chain.

I want that jacket and skirt combo, too. A pencil skirt and a waist-length, belted jacket will bring out the curves on any body.

Matter of fact, I’d take both of their outfits. One for dinner and drinks, and the other for running errands.

Well Done, Kanye.

March 3rd, 2009

I ain’t sayin she’s a gold digger …

Amber Rose is so refreshingly different and edgy and beautiful. Especially the buzz cut, given how most gals are about weaves and wigs and such.

Kanye West, Amber Rose

I love her glasses. I love her heels. I love her look.

Well, almost …

Protege Is The Best Line Ever!

March 3rd, 2009

Sweet holy moly!

I just spent half an hour talking about the yumminess aired on Rip the Runway.

Uh … Eesh… Gulp.

Never before have I been so compelled to lick my monitor.

Protege models

Yes, I know. Rip the Runway is all about hot music and fly fashion. Gotcha. But, I was also taking in the eye candy. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the view!

The Girl Crush Continues

February 27th, 2009

I keep hearing Stevie Wonder … Isn’t she lovely?

You gotta love her!

The official portrait of first lady Michelle Obama taken in the Blue Room of The White House.

Michelle Obama

Dayyyym. Our First Lady is hot! I mean, she is a classy and lovely woman and we can all learn a lot from her.

Political blogs are going to freak out about her wearing another sleeveless dress. (She’s amazing and it’s cool to have a stylish First Lady and all, but OMG sleeveless!) Give me a break! Lady’s got taste.

Shoot, I’m starting to think she loves her biceps as much as America does. And I love that particular cut, where it narrows a bit at the shoulders. If you’ve got great shoulders (and Shelle does), it really shows them off.

Can I call her Shelle? How did Barack Obama land her? Oh yeah, his smile. Oh wait, that’s how he got me.

What do you think of the pic?

Kadi.

P.S. Seriously, on some Photography 101 ish, that curtain jacks up the whole composition. Don’t make people look like they have curtains/trees/etc. growing out of their heads. And photoshop the wrinke out of her dress and the flower blocking her hand. All three irk me. Now I’m off to do some push-ups. Some.
