Happy Halloween...Going Gaga

May your Halloween be filled with
tons of treats and no tricks...
(unless you like tricks)


This isn't the whole costume. Got some huge angel wings and a few other
Gaga-rific stuff to go with my Disco Stick (which lights up by the way).

Be safe!

I Love My Nail Tech...

Seriously, she Rocks My Nail Beds...

I always go into the nail salon asking for weird stuff.

First I ask her to do a silver zebra print on one nail...

Then it was cheetah or leopard in gold, bronze and black...

A few other off the wall things along the way...

and I think she finally gets me...

I reminded her of the fade to black nails I showed her in a magazine awhile back...

and asked if she had come up with any system she could use to recreate it.

She said she hadn't but said that she had an idea she wanted to try.

I was totally confused as to what I wanted but knew I was finally going to put purple
on my nails for the first time since I was allowed to go out with boys by myself.

Well here is she what she came up with...

I'm Loving It!

She put 3 graduated layers of the glitter over the top of a deep purple,
creating a depth effect (sorry if it isn't that clear in these shots).


Oh yeah, the black ring above, I made. I have been making them in silver and gold and tried it in
black this week...Not sure how i feel about it yet but I sure had fun making it.

So what do ya think?

Who's Gonna Run This Town Tonight?

So we all know Jay-Z's new song, Run This Town featuring Rihanna & Kanye West (ICK!) is the hotness out right now.

Well my boy DJ Jeff Haze
(http://www.facebook.com/pages/DJ-Jeff-Haze/6226763374.com/pages/DJ-Jeff-Haze/6226763374)
had a link to the full video on his page so I snagged it for ya...

By the way, he'll be spinning at The Lox Lounge in Brooklyn tonight
(and every Thursday) located @
15 Putnam Ave @ the corner of Grand & Fulton. Tel: 718.930.1316.

ENJOY!

Now I'm feeling the song and video just as much as the next person...I peeped the Tre Cutacious Warriors references here and there, but for real, I'm in a state of total shock by Rihanna's fashion. Yet again the woman has brought us straight FIRE.

If you are a P.E.T.A. supporter stop reading NOW.

Now ladies, I know it's not always realistic to rock a hat with a black veil or fur accents when it's 80 degrees outside (I've done both though...WHAT?... Say something!) but just in case you are feeling gutsy, I've got a great idea for you.

Roll on over to New York's Fashion District (around 38th street & 7th avenue) and buy a fox pelt. I got mine about 3 years back for about $40 bucks. Not every fabric store around there has then but just roll on in and ask if they sell "whole animal pelts". My tag read, "Rio Negro Foxskin".

Looks like road kill, huh?

I prefer getting the whole ones because they are cheaper and you can cut them to your liking and can use any scraps for other projects, like a fur cuff or to accent a pair of boring shoes. Be ready to see a tooth or a paw or something so woman up and just trim that stuff off.

Guess you can tell I'm no P.E.T.A. person...they throw some paint on me and I'm skinning them and rocking them next season!

Anyway, you can either pin the fur to one shoulder or sleeve of a cropped jacket or vest or wrap it around your shoulders for a "stole effect'.

For this look you'd need about 3 pelts

but you could pull off the look from the video with just one.

Now get out there and Run This Town Tonight!
