Trending Now… the Fashion-y Long Johns. Yes, its the Mantyhose

So what’s the real purpose of the Mantyhose aside from being the newest trend in men’s fashion?  According to some, its the function – snug and warm enough but not bulky like the average long johns.  Some say its medical; compression helps for internal problems, and most will just claim fashion.

Europe had been using these hosiery for men for quite sometime now and its only now that North America is catching on and I’m quite excited about this since I do claim comfort and fashion for using these.

Time to shop!

Lest Ye Be Judged…

I’m pretty sure this wasn’t intentional, however, it did go into his likeness…

Everytime I pass by this art installation in Vancouver BC, my eyes just can’t help but veer towards the lower left which resembles Karl Lagerfeld, trademark white hair, shades, and stoic bearing, as if judging everyone who passes by.

One can’t help but miss the fan…

So Sue Me, Ms. Brown

Okay here’s another remember a few months/ days/ years ago…

Remember a few months ago when Old Navy came up with a commercial that featured a Kim Kardashian look-a-like and then Kim sued the company for using a model in her likeness citing that it is damaging her reputation or something like that?

Look it up.  Last I heard, the Gap is counter suing her and is blatantly questioning her reputation, including her rep as a dancer and singer.

Anyway, this weekend, apparently there was a football game on TV, sort of a filler for a mini Madonna concert.  Well, at that time, there were a couple of commercials that debuted and one of them is a commercial for M&M’s new character, Ms. Brown.

Now, if you look closely, one of the human characters bears a younger resemblance of the person who is to blame for the Kardashian existence – Kris Jenner – hair, eyeliner, sparkle top, and all.

It's the 2nd one from left sitting down, if you must

Sooo…. I wonder is there will be any suing that we will see soon, given that the Kardashians have been given this window of opportunity to cash in on something again.  Should be interesting since it looks like Ms. Brown can really cut a bitch.

This is Why Its So Hard to Find Designer Collections in Chain Stores

Just wrong.

Remember a few months ago when Target’s Missoni collection sold out and found its way into ebay?  Yeah, well right now they’re marked down with slight significance.

So people are doing the same for the Jason Wu collection for Target and I really find it unfair that these people are hoarding up the stocks.

People, these collections were made so people can be given an option to own a designer piece at an affordable price.  If you mark them up as high as their brand line, that basically defeats the purpose, ‘no?

Seriously, retailers should consider purchase limits or maybe people should refrain from buying these outside of the original retailers (but good luck with that).

W.W.M.W. at the Half Time Show

After the stellar recognition that Jean Paul Gaultier received when he took on designing for the Material Girl’s Blonde Ambition tour in the 90′s, every Madonna show – whether a full scale concert or a promo show- now comes with anticipation on who will be designing her wardrobe.

So who did Madonna wear on the highly successful half time show at this year’s Superbowl?

A Cleopatra inspired ensemble by Givenchy couture accessorized with a Philip Treacy headdress and Bvlgari earrings.

Now looking back, I don’t recall Madonna going for this particular look, and this is just when I thought she’d done it all.

Could this become one of her themes in her upcoming tour?  Most likely.  And no complaints here

Update: I just found a good HD copy of the show, in case anyone missed.

David Beckham’s H&M Superbowl Ad

Superbowl.

For a lot, its the sport, for most (points to self), its the half time show – Madonna baby!!!, and for some, its the commercials premiering.

Here’s the hot one of them, from David Beckham’s H&M Underwear collection.

Fashion For A Cause: Rachel Roy’s Latest Collaboration Is Guaranteed to Inspire

Here’s a collaboration to look forward to.

Rachel Roy recently announced that she will be coming up with a t-shirt collection that features spiritual doctor Deepak Chopra’s inspirational/ motivational quotes. Apparently, it will also include complimenting accessories but is yet to be confirmed.

Great thing about the collection is they are for a cause and proceeds will go to the Chopra Foundation to fund education in India.

The downside?  They will be available towards the end of the year…
