Mika – Big Bryanboy, You are Beautiful

Look who I met at the Marc Jacobs Japan Independence Day party in Tokyo.

Sing after me…

Get yourself to the butterfly lounge, find yourself a big lady. Big boy, come around and there we're gonna do baby. No need to fantasize since the words are my praises, a watering hole with the girls around and curves in all the right places.

That's all.

Esteban Cortazar Out at Ungaro; Blame Lindsay Lohan

Poor, poor Paris. Hollywood Hell-A trainwreck and notorious troublemaker Lindsay Lohan spares nobody and she’s ruffling a few feathers in the grand city of lights. The latest casualty is young designer Esteban Cortazar, who is said to have walked out from his position at French fashion house Ungaro.

From today’s Women’s Wear Daily:

According to sources, the French fashion house plans to part ways with Esteban Cortazar, who has shown three collections on the runway. It is understood the designer reached an impasse with Ungaro management over its marketing and advertising strategy.

Mounir Moufarrige, Ungaro’s chief executive officer, is said to be pushing for a celebrity for future ad campaigns to help wake up the house and has been in talks with about half a dozen potential candidates, including Lindsay Lohan, but they would have nothing to do with design.

Lindsay Lohan?

Lord have mercy on us.

’nuff said.

Ed Westwick at Glamour Magazine UK Awards

PHWOARRRRRRRRRR! Gimme Ed Westwick (aka Chuck Bass in Gossip Girl) any day over Chace Crawford or what’s his face, the dingy guy who plays Dan. I’ve always had the hots for Ed Westwick since day one.

Lady Gaga Paparazzi Official Music Video

ELECTRIFYING!

I’ve been very wary of Lady Gaga these days because I feel like the fame is finally getting to her head and her ego is getting bigger and bigger but oh my god, have you seen her new ‘Paparazzi’ music video? It was just released last night in the US. She redeemed herself and she’s back in my books. AMAZING!!!

OK fine. The soft core porn at the start of the video is totally unnecessary and yes, Swedish boys will totally break your heart but the fashion, oh my god the fashion! How many designer creations can you spot on the vid? I see that she wore the same print as Inna Pilipenko at Jeremy Scott Fall/Winter 2009.

Ferosha!

Madame Paulette New York Dry Cleaners

Earlier this year before my grandmother passed away, I fought tooth and nail with a local dry cleaner who ruined one of my garments. They managed to rectify the damage they have done however, some of it is still visible. In the end, I got compensated half of what I asked for. Although it wasn’t the solution I wanted, it was better than nothing. A few friends told me I was lucky. Some dry cleaners won’t shell out a single penny; the most they’ll give you is a smile or a half-baked apology.

Anyway, I came across Madame Paulette’s website earlier this morning. They are based in New York and specialize in cleaning high-end clothes. Remember Melania Knauss in that ginormous, 50-pound Christian Dior haute couture wedding gown from the Empress Sisi/Fall-Winter 2004 collection?

Well, she commissioned Madame Paulette to restore her wedding gown. Watch this video. This is how they clean haute couture.

Isn’t it amazing how technologically-advanced dry cleaners are overseas? Madame Paulette had me on the blacklights! How I wish local dry cleaners are sophisticated like that.

Michael Jackson in Givenchy!!!

OMG. The gender bending ferocity of Michael Jackson never stops… a few weeks ago, you’ve seen him wore that swarovski-encrusted t-shirt from Balmain’s fall/winter 2009 collection. Well, feast your eyes on this.

It’s Wacko Jacko rockin’ a look from Givenchy fall/winter 2007. Gemma Ward wore it on the runway a few years back.Amazing!!!!!

Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann

I’m sure y’all know my aversion to Hollywood celebrities doing that “GLAM, GLAM, GLAM” look. You know what I’m talking about — typical strapless dress and long, wavy locks worthy of an In Style cover.

Well, let me show you how it’s done. Behold the fiercest woman on the red carpet.

Cameron Diaz for American Vogue

After the recent stunning cover featuring the models of the moment, American Vogue‘s gone back to the usual celebrity pool. Cameron Diaz is on the cover of their June 2009 issue.

I like it. There is something about the cover that screams “American chic”. Maybe it’s the blond in white combo? It’s very American Vogue.

I have to admit though I’m not gonna run to the newsstands to buy this issue (unlike what I did to Michelle Obama’s). Why buy when you can read it at the salon… for free?

Rick Ross' Fake Louis Vuitton Sunglasses

How embarassing is this? Rapper Rick Ross is on the May 2009 cover of XXL magazine. He was photographed wearing what appears to be a pair of Louis Vuitton Chewy Bitton sunglasses.

According to Mediatakeout, the folks at Louis Vuitton fired XXL this letter:

Yikes! Who in their right mind would wear a pair of counterfeit sunglasses on a bloody cover shoot? Rick, his stylist or XXL magazine has a lot of explaining to do.
