modeling: its NOT as easy as it looks

Following up with my previous post is a video from Kate Moss's spread in Turkey for W magazine. Contorting in designer gowns in extreme heat while trying to make it look effortless is painful and not easy. Major props Ms. Moss

Phenomenal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Audrey Hepburn

i thought it was cute


Why We Like Girls

The truth is out there.

They will always smell good even if its just shampoo.
The way their heads always find the right spot on our shoulder.
How cute they look when they sleep.
The ease in which they fit into our arms.
The way they kiss you and all of a sudden everything is right in the world.
How cute they are when they eat.
The way they take hours to get dressed but in the end it makes it all worth while.
Because they are always warm even when its minus 30 out side.
The way they look good no matter what they wear.
The way they fish for compliments even though you both know that you think she's the most beautiful thing on this earth.


How cute they are when they argue.
The way her hand always finds yours.
The way they smile.
The way you feel when you see their name on the call display after you just had a big fight.
The way she says "lets not fight anymore" even though you know that an hour later....
The way they kiss when you do something nice for them.
The way they kiss you when you say "I love you".
Actually... just the way they kiss you....
The way they fall into your arms when they cry.
Then the way they apologize for crying over something that silly.
The way they hit you and expect it to hurt.
Then the way apologize when it does hurt ..(even though we don't admit it!).
The way they say "I miss you".
The way you miss them.



The way their tears make you want to change the world so that it doesn't hurt her anymore.....Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them... it matters not. Because once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become everything to you. When you look them in the eyes, traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without trace of a sound, you know that your own life is inevitable consumed within the rhythmic beatings of her very heart. We love them for a million reasons, No paper would do it justice. It is a thing not of the mind but of the heart. A feeling. Only felt.





If this is familiar ... pass it on to all the others...

quote of the day

"Though not technically world-class competitors, these ladies are going head-to-head in a sport of their own, smiling prettily for rabid photographers while wearing vertiginous heels for hours on end without breaking a sweat -- and have the well-toned gams and deltoids to prove it. We'd like to see Michael Phelps try that." WWD

sneakerhead



The bond between high fashion & sportswear has been making a huge splash in the fashion industry for quite some time. This bond is being explored in an exhibit at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. "Through design drawings, photographs, film, and 60 outfits, the exhibit analyzes the ways in which sportswear has become more fashionable—and how high fashion has become influenced by athletic details." It opens today...

Fake it

I came across a hilarious article about the top reasons why women fake orgasms...because as much as you guys would like to believe it happens every time...it really doesn't.
Reason #1: The Pity Orgasm...this is where the woman feels bad for the man, and he has low self-esteem, and she's only trying to boost his confidence.
Reason #2: The Just Get Over it, so I Can Go to Sleep Orgasm...self explanatory
Reason #3: The It's Just Not Going to Happen Tonight Orgasm...Well, for women, it's different, if she is preoccupied, tired, or whatever, it's just not going to happen.
Reason #4: The We Both Had Too Much To Drink & I'm Sobering Up Orgasm...too much alcohol equals an uncoordinated mess.

So true...and so funny

Fish Pedicures


This may be one of the strangest things I've heard of all week. Basically it is a pedicure where you soak your feet in a bath of 100 garra rufa (doctor fish) and they nibble away at your cuticles & calluses. Hmmm...I personally don't like to be nibbled by fish, but hey whatever gets the job done.

obsessed



the new Calvin Klein ad for their fragrance Obsession, that was banned from airing.

first dates

There may be no perfect first date, but there are many imperfect first dates. I find it hilarious when a guy asks a girl out to a movie, mostly because all you do is sit side by side in total silence. I find it awkward when a guy asks a girl out to dinner, mostly because I feel uncomfortable stuffing my face in front of a guy I hardly know-great first impression. I find it ridiculous when a guy asks a girl out to a night club, mostly because if you do choose to talk you end up screaming in one anothers ear and the night usually ends in a drunk/deaf mess. When choosing the setting for that first date, and you actually care about getting to know the other person, take them to do something fun, in a comfortable environment. Avoid the silent, the awkward, and the drunk.

you've got to be kidding


ok...so Absolut came out with a special vodka for the drinkers of Los Angeles...and of course some of the main ingredients include: acai, pomegranate, and acerola. oh god.

pineapple express premiere

water that costs more than my dinner


Ever heard of Fillico? Well I hadn't until today..and it is WAY more expensive than evian...bottle of wine..and my dinner combined! A bottle of Fillico sells for $100 a bottle! The caps of the bottles are encrusted with Swarovski crystals & gold paint...one word-fancy.
