Too Tight to Fight...

Just because Foxy found a leftover reject outfit from the Ill Na Na
video does not mean she should have squeezed herself into it...

She actually wore this to a performance at BB King's this past Sunday.


I'm assuming she thought matching the panties with the nails would bring it all together in some way? SMH!


Foxy stated while on stage screaming, "You can't keep a good woman down, We make Bail", which is in regard to a protective order she violated recently when she flashed her a$$ at her neighbor.


I'm thinking she may just have been trying on outfits from when she was hot and none of them fit. If we had a rear view of this we'd probably see cheek too.

OK, I am really trying not to go in on her but how bologna and cheese sandwiches did she scarf down while she was locked up?


And what's really good with them lop sided eye lashes?
Looks like she pissed off another make-up artist and had to let grandma at the do what it do!

OK, OK, I'll the say something nice...her skin looks great, as always.

V.V. Va Voom

OK, so there is this great British artist out right now named VV Brown and I am so thankful for iPods. If it wasn't for them I would have already popped the tape or scratched the CD with all the rotation it's getting over here. I haven't been able to play an album from beginning to end in ages and it feels soooooo good. I'm in Musical Heaven

VV is super fashion forward and has her hands in quite a few things.

Besides being on her US tour right now she has launched an online vintage clothing store called VV Vintage.

Her album Traveling Like the Light, was released in the US on February 9th of this year, but the Brits had have the pleasure of her tunes since July of 2009. No fair!

So here are my top 2 picks from the album (you have no idea how hard that was).

Game Over


I think the video put this song over the top for me...

Back In Time



And here she is at home singing and playing one of her many mini keyboards (she collects them).
She sounds amazing...

Lady Gaga's Telephone, featuring Beyonce

Tre, Kill Bill meets Natural Born Killers...

ENJOY!


Love the video...the song...eh, does nothing for me!

I know the still shots from this shoot are FIRE!

I'll be watching this frame by frame, over and over...

Disco Fever...Nails...

Lately I have been in a serious PARTY mood.

So I decided to throw a party on my nails...
Ever time I look down I smirk a bit and think of Disco Fever...

I opted to do the opposite on the other hand,
so rhinestones on the pointer and black peacock inspired design on the ring finger.





Tools:
Toothpicks & everything you you see below.


The rhinestone wheel I found on eBay for about 3 bucks with shipping.
There are a total of 1,200, 100 in 12 different shapes.
That's like 100% times cheaper than what you'll find in your local beauty supply store in NY.
I saw 10 for $1.99.



Tips:

*If you don't want to use nail or crazy glue ( I don't) to adhere the rhinestones to you nails , just dab a little clear polish onto the completely dry nail with a toothpick and then press rhinestone into place and finish with a top coat.

*If you don't have bottle of the thin brushed silver polish for designs you can just place a dime sized dab of your silver polish onto a sheet of paper and make the dots and swipes with the tip of a clean toothpick.

Have fun and be creative ladies...
Don't let these Teeny Boppers & Whipper Snappers
try to bring the 80's and 90's
back without showing them what's really good!

Skittle-fest....

About 2 summers ago, my girls and I went to a BBQ. We jokingly named it the Skittle-Fest because so many of the dudes looked suspect and they had on every color in the rainbow (together).

I thought I had lost these pictures when my lap top crashed but I found some of my back up files...Whoo hoo!

Anyway, one of the only dudes who didn't look like he got his outfit from the Crayola Outlet had on all white and walked around the whole day with his dog tucked under his arm like a Chanel clutch.

You tell me is this TANGY?

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!

Moon Boots...

Anyone who really knows me knows that I LOVE a good bargain,
almost more than shoes...

So this right here, is a double whammy for me...

I got these boots for 20 bucks...

Now I can give my rain boots a break since we seem to be
taking it back to Noah's days with all this damn rain.

Anyway, I pieced them together with what I think may be the cheapest outfit in history...

• Shirt- $6
• Legging - $7
• 3 rings - $5
• Boots - $20
• Belt - That came with 30 buck dress so I'll round that off to about 5 bucks.
• Hair: By Carline of www.instylhaircare.com (A sister is BAD y'all)

• Total Cost: $43...Now that's priceless
  

I'm in Love Again...

See neither Tom Ford (of Gucci) or Alexander Wang care anything about my blood pressure. You can not put things like this out on the market and not expect bad things to happen.


I'm having palpitations...

Gucci Division Over The Knee Boot

Alexander Wang Hanne Triple Buckle Boot

I am plotting as I type this on what I need to do to get these in my life...I don't see this ending well.


Oh yeah...my B'Day is coming up and I'd like to leave a little note to all my friends out there...you are being forwarded...If I do not see one of these pairs of shoes wrapped up real pretty like waiting for me (I can wait until Christmas) I'm not talking to any of you ever again!

Don't forget these, they are an option as well...


Thanks...

Tangy Tuesday...Tight & Tangy

I'm not even mad at him I just want to know where the hell he found size Triple 0 jeans.

And is it just me or does it look like his hair is going to come off with that hat.

Manolo Blahnik's 2010 Spring/Summer Collection

Yes sirrrr....

No sirrr

Gingham, oh we're going to try to bring that back? Why?

Thanks Show! 'Preciate it!

The Brown Bomber

I know that wall Busta does not say 2009...How in the hell could he put this on, knowing good and well Louis Vuitton did make any of this? That's a Chinatown special if I ever saw one. It doesn't even look like he gave them real leather to work with. SMH!

Busta you are dead wrong for rolling up there looking like someone's nasty uncle your Mom tells you to stay away from...I know it's a tribute to the Hip Hops past but that does not mean it is Ok to break out the outfit you wore in Leaders of the New School's first video.

And the hat...Oh I can't!

Let's Get Ready for Shecky's.....

It's almost that time of year again ladies.

you better get to clicking...

Tickets are about $30 bucks but if you use the NYCTXT5 code at check out you can get $5 bucks off.


Where else can you shop an array of discounted accessories & clothing, drink all you want, get a over stuffed goodies bag and listen to a live DJ spinning hits.

Whenever I come back from a Shecky's Girls Night Out event I dump my goodie bag onto the middle of my bedroom floor, sit down Indian style and get to sorting. Whoo Hoo!

It always reminds me of Halloween when I was a kid
(before crazy people started slipping blades into Milky Ways)...

OO I can't wait...


Cheers Chickas!

Here's that link again...

Der is a Gawd...

Jimmy Choo's line of shoes and handbags for H&M
will land at their 250 stores worldwide on Saturday, November 14!

Go head...I'll wait while mark your calendars ladies.

Here's a sneak peek of his line...

The studded "Blair" gladiator sandal ($69.95), the black zippered "Lydia" handbag ($99) and a multi-strand chain bracelet ($25.95).

Now as much as I love fashion and all that I never really get hype over things like this because I know I am not going out there the night before to camp out and fight with a bunch of broads over the last pair of pants that aren't even our size. I won't even stay on a line if there are more than 5 people on it...I know, I know, I can't help it...I have no patience. I'm working on it, OK.

I must say though, I am not at all impressed by the pieces they released in this sneak peep. Hopefully they just wanted to tease us and plan on bringing out the big guns in November.

Surprisingly enough though, the collection will not stop at shoes and handbags. Jimmy will be expanding his line to apparel for men and woman.

If you are interested in going and getting your Choo on, I suggest you find an H&M outside of immediate the New York and make a day of it.

Happy Shopping Divas!

Sky High....

Now I consider myself to be a true blue shoe fiend...
The Duchess of Shoes if you will, and I'm proud of it!

There was a day when I was ashamed of my addiction but as
I've gotten older I've learned that sometimes you just have to covet joy,
no matter where you may find it.

Now when I say I love shoes, I mean I love all shoes, sandals, boots, pumps,
even those funky little flats have there place in my heart, but of course
like most women who are a slightly height challenged, I love me some heels!

Besides the long lean lines they can create instantly, I love the way
I feel in them. Statuesque, maybe even a tad regal in the right pair.


But this new line of 10 inch heels from Alexander McQueen is just crazy to me.

Where the hell are you going in these horse hoof looking things???



Can you imagine what your feet looks like in these joints, much less what
your poor tootsies are going to feel like after wearing them for 10 minutes.

I actually like the embellishments on these, but it ends there.
I might have to do something like this on an pair of boots I'm bored with...hmmmm...

These 2 are the most decent to me but that is probably because they don't look
like they are 10 inches...If they were 4 inches I'd rock 'em, HARD!

I am convinced that these are designed by men who hate women or
are are mad that they can't rock heels so they are determined to torture us.

Just looking at these makes me think of ballet class and those torturous toe shoes. I didn't last in that class cause I knew that more than a month in there would ruin my tootsies for sandals for the rest of my life...not happening!

Now these are shoes...

I believe they are by a Korean designer named Johnathan Young (sorry lost some info when my system went out). Bro has some serious designs this season, but these are my favorite.
I hear they are only sold in Canada right now but I'm going to keep my eyes peeled.

I watched an episode of Dr. Oz recently and he stated that we should try not to wear heels over 2 1/2 inches but if we insist on wearing them higher, we should not wear them for more that 4 hours at a time. Also, according to the good doctor, a great exercise to do to help keep your lil' puppies healthy is to pick up things off the floor with your feet.
I guess I'm good cause I'm always doing that.

Also ladies, if your a serious heels girl, you might want to invest in a pair of these.



After a long day in heels I pop mine on for about a half an hour (I've fallen asleep in them).
They are supposed to realign your feet and stretch your toes.

Don't be sucked in by the Yoga Toes Brand, they are super pricey (about $30) and are made of a much harder plastic, where as these are between $6-10 bucks and are playable. They are made by the same people who make the Ped Egg and can be found in some chain drugstores.

They make a great gift and are super practical...
OOOO stocking stuffers, or a Secret Santa gift.

Keep on Hot Stepping in Style (and comfort) Ladies!
