Lady Gaga & the Queen

Lady Gaga was actually dressed more appropriate to preform and greet the queen than the junior Miley Cyrus who dawned hot pants for her performance, but later opted for a long gown to greet her majesty. Gaga, who is apparently a fan of fish & chips (she eats?), was hoisted into the air with a piano for the Royal Variety Show.

LRG’s Luxirie

Loving LRG’s (Lifted Research Group) new Luxirie line for ladies. The following looks are from Karmaloop and many of the small sizes in these threads have all ready sold out – typical!

Even though the company is bit casual for my style the new line shows lots of promise. Oh and here’s LRG’s motorcycle which I saw at a convention a few days ago.

J/K – Fashion’s Night Out actually going to be 9-10-10

fashion

Remember when I announced the return of Fashion’s Night Out for September 9, 2010? Well, I was just kidding.

Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and NYC & Company—the city’s marketing, tourism and partnerships organization—today announced that the date for Fashion’s Night Out will be changed from Thursday, September 9 to Friday, September 10, 2010. The initiative’s decision is based on its desire to maximize local consumer and tourist participation by holding the highly anticipated shopping event on a weekend evening. The organizers of the initiative, which includes the CFDA, will work closely with the fashion industry to ensure that the change in date will not disrupt the ongoing trade activities of fashion week and the shows during that time.

Actually not a bad idea, so people can stay out later without having to think about getting up for work in the morning.

Hummus, paper towels, Chanel, and Vuitton

All these items may not be on your shopping list, but they are on many New Yorkers’  since the grand opening of big-box retailer Costco this past Friday. Just like the Jimmy Choo + H&M madness New York fashionites are making the trek to the mega-store in hopes of getting some good deals. They also carry Burberry and Coach, along with Chanel cosmetics and the infamous Ugg boots. While shelling out $2K for Chanel’s Classic Flap Handbag is a deal, paying $589 for an out of style LV Speedy isn’t. However, they did sell out thanks to the low price tag.

Label whore purses and Uggs may be out of style in LA, but they’re obviously still hot in NYC. Oh and if you think you can get these steals online – think chanelclassicflapagain – they’re all NYC in-store exclusives.

Unisex = mainstream cross-dressing

agyness.

The crew over at TrendHunter.tv nailed the unisex fashion trend with their latest video “Mainstream Cross-Dressing.”  With top models like Agyness Deyn being portrayed in a more masculine sense and males swapping for more glam, metro, or fem looks the gender lines are blurred more than ever before.

So lets have some laughs along with it!
