When bad clothes happen to good people

J. Hud is in bad shape, style shape that is. Read my commentary over @ Black Style Central

Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2009

Miss- Andrea Lewis, was she serious ? I did notice one thing I liked, I remember seeing those sandals in Nine West, if you favor em' you can cop a pair for $89. Nine West: Kentaro

Hit!- I love Keke Palmer's eggplant colored leather dress. I think I like her matching pumps even more. Completely age appropriate and sexy at the same time.

I was having a love/hate feeling with Lauren Collin's outfit but then I decided it would be cute for walking around in spring with cute flats or sandals.

I like the edginess of Vanessa Hudgen's ensemble, however I hate boots showing bare skin with tiny shorts, I still see Daisy Duke no matter what.

MISS- Miley looks like a stale wedding cake. Enough said.

Stylin' & Profilin': 2009 Golden Globe Awards

Here's a few of my 2009 Golden Globe Awards favorites.

Taraji P. Henson wore a dress from J. Mendel Fall 2008 collection. I had to get a close up of her 3-finger ring. I think it's fabulous.

Heidi Klum and Zoe Saldana kept it short and sweet. Heidi wore a vintage polka dot James Galanos dress with matching bright red lips, she completed her outfit with strappy Louboutin sandals. Zoe always looks adorable.

I REALLY love this blue leopard print Spring 09 Lanvin on Maggie Gyllenhaal. I did a post on the shorter version but I also like it modified, especially with the zipper detail along the side. I expected someone with more of a colorful personality to wear this dress, but Maggie totally pulls it off.

Beyonce redeems herself in this Elie Saab Spring 08 Couture gown which is accessories with the most beautiful collar necklace I've ever seen.

Alot of critics didn't like Jennifer Lopez's Marchesa Spring 2009 gown because it looks like she took 10 steps back to her "JLO" days. True, but I do like the dress, maybe if her hair was loose and romantic it wouldn't have been so harsh. I know Diddy was somewhere kicking himself b/c she looks drop dead gorgeous and sexy. I say "if you got it, flaunt it".

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon wore a dress from Tracy Reese's fall 2008 collection with matching wine statin peep toe pumps.

I think Renee Zellweger was the worst of the night and I actually feel shamed to share the same name with her. She usually looks great for red carpet events wearing the cutest strapless dresses. This Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 09 gown isn't suitable for her style.

Who's your favorite?

On my wishlist: The One Hundred

The One Hundred, written by Nina Garcia is a perfect guide to owning all things necessary to be successfully stylish...This would make an excellent stocking stuffer. ($21.95 where ever books are sold)

Spotted: Andre J. on 35th

I saw Andre J. crossing the street around W. 35th st today,[small world!], his lip gloss was definitely poppin. What can I say?

If you don't know Andre, here's a synopsis:

Andre J. (born 1979) is an American party promoter who is a presence in the New York City fashion scene. He is known for his distinctive, gender-bending personal style and has been featured in photo spreads in French Vogue and V magazine. He worked as a perfume salesperson at Lord & Taylor, a publicist for Patrica Field (another one of my favorite designers, if your not familiar, google her), and he also worked as a party host at clubs in NYC. Andre got his big break one day on the street, he was spotted by stylist Joe McKenna, who was then on the phone with fashion photographer Bruce Weber. Some powerful words got exchanged and POOF he's on the cover of french Vogue. Some people just have all of the luck.Andre J. often wears women's clothing, he does not consider himself a crossdresser. Instead, he sees himself as unconfined by gender and social conventions. (great explanation) "Most people are conditioned to think of a black man looking a certain way," he told the New York Times. "They only think of the ethnic man in XXX jeans and Timberlands, and here Andre J. comes along with a pair of hot shorts and a caftan or maybe flip-flops or cowboy boots or a high, high heel."

Doppelgänger!: Gisele Bundchen & Edyta Sliwinska

ABC'S Dancing with the Stars Dancer Edyta Sliwinska performed tonight in a dress that was similar to the Versace gown worn by model Gisele Bundchen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala back in May.

To be or not to be...

The Anne Slowey pictured on the top is NOT the same Anna as the one below, is just CANT be. So I caught tonight's premiere of the CW's "Stylista" and it was pretty good, better than I anticipated. Although I feel like the producers are forcing her to feed in to the Fashion editor -in- chief stereotype. you know.. the mean, bitchy, my styles so0o much better than yours personality. Anne, cut it out because that "e" on the end of your name will never turn into an "a" and your last name will never Wintour. So just leave the attitude to the pro's.I know its just for ratings but it just seems so phony and cold. Our mothers all gave us the best advise in Jr. High school, just "Be yourself".

"Dress me, I'm your mannequin!"

I swear I need to come out with a song b/c attention hungry media sucking Heidi Montag has released a single respectively titled "Fashion". The sad part is I LOVE THE SONG! It's insanely catchy, with lyrics like " Fashion, put it all on me, don't you wanna see these clothes on me?!" How can any fashionista resist?. I heard the song on one of my daily blogstops FavoredFashionFix and played it a million times. Boyfriend Spencer Pratt says "It's the greatest song of his life". I say, I think this is going to be my theme song when I get dressed in the morning.
