Best Fashion and Lifestyles

I like 1960s Pop Art and Andy Warhol as much as the next person, but there are certain limits to taste and decency that even I won't stoop to.

A full bodysuit of Andy Warhol's classic faces of Marilyn Monroe may seem like a great idea when you're high on caffeine (and whatever you've been smoking), but chances are likely in 3 months you will regret that decision and never wear it again.

And worse when you're older your teenagers might find it in your closet and wear it, making a complete mockery of you...

Yes the quality of some prints are exceptional, but on a full bodysuit its overdoing it. Get a shirt instead. Maybe a jacket. Don't go for the fully monty.

And while you're at it ask yourself what Marilyn Monroe, remembered for her beauty, elegance, sensuality and unfortunately also for her tragic death... ask yourself what would Marilyn Monroe wear?

Certainly not something like that god-awful thing.

Here is some awesome photos of a French side braid plus a video of how to do it yourself. Awesome!

Got too much time on your hands and lots of extra nail polish?

Give yourself some funky nails!

FASHION - Home decor never looked so haute.

Home décor company Korhani has turned its decorative carpets into haute couture at Toronto's Fashion Week Monday this week. The manufacturer based in Toronto and creative director Kirsten Korhani repurposed its rugs for the runway, showing off Mongolian rug inspired capes, studded pants and regal looking gowns all using a rug as a central part of the design.

This is actually the third time the company has pulled this publicity stunt, but it is still eye-catching.

“We’re trying to evolve, make it better, make it more interesting,” says Kirsten Korhani. “We have to step it up every season.” Korhani says the new collection has a wider selection of garments with “more diversification” in style and construction.

In the past Korhani’s off-beat shows have raised the company’s profile, so it just proves fashion can also be good publicity. And since their designs keep improving and getting attention it proves people don't get bored of it either.

The shows have increased Korhani’s sales and revenue “by big numbers,” owner Moji Korhani said after the show this past Monday night and they are now planning to expand into the USA and Europe.

Observe the fashion of photography...











Now you may be getting the point... photographers and models are chosen to convey specific stereotypical looks for different fashion products. The goal in the end product (advertising) is to get the viewer to identify with the woman in the photo and want to be more like that...

And then run out and buy jeans, jewelry or whatever they happen to be selling.

Often they will throw in a semi-shaved ruggedly good looking male model in a clear effort to say... "Buy this and you will get a handsome man!"

And it works very easily because people are basically stupid and fall for it even when they know they're being pitched advertising.

FASHION - Because pretty dresses and masquerade masks will ALWAYS be chic and kewl.

FASHION - Found this one on Etsy.

Its a raven mask cut out of black leather... but I ask you, couldn't it be made out of this something other than leather? Faux leather at least. Cloth?

The designer cuts it out of 5-6 oz tanned leather, then hand shapes it while wet to fit a face. Once dry she paints it black and seals it with an acrylic finish.

Because of all the cut outs it weighs just 1½ ounces, which means it will be comfortable to wear for extended periods. Comes with an adjustable double strand of elastic.

But come on, use something other than leather. And its so easy to make anyone could make it. Even my idiotic ex could do it.

FASHION - Whoa, talk about a fashion statement.

According to the jewelry designer's website this Necklace "Is an Accurate Representation of Semen"... meaning male ejaculate...

Wow.

And they're $600 USD each. Handmade by designer Leah Piepgras. Wow, some people will just walk all over all the strives made by feminists just to make a quick buck off the kind of women who would actually buy such things. (Jewelry for skanks.)

ART HISTORY - Isn't photography awesome??? Here is some kewl art made using nothing more than makeup and a digital camera and lighting.

Eyeliner art rocks!
