A touch of asian

It’s always nice to have a sudden injection of asian in the fashion world. Canadian model Jessica Stam and Chinese model Du Juan have been plastered all over the Armani campaign for Fall 08/09. Sharp edges of the western look meets the moon-faced roundness of asia.

I have returned

I have returned from my sweat-infused trip to Greece and Turkey. I had high hopes of visiting ancient ruins and enjoying the sparkling waters of the Greek Islands. To my dismay, we were incessantly herded like cattle from site to site. I literally sweat a gallon from walking under the unforgiving rays of sun whilst we looked at the different ruins of ancient Greece (which all looked the same to me by day three). I will be posting again and will also have some scenic photos from the trip. Woot.

I’m leaving for Greece

Boy what an excited girl I am. I’ll be missing from the states for two weeks and will be spending my birthday in Greece. I still haven’t packed all my luggage being the dangerous procrastinator that I am but I’m sure last minute packing will make my last evening in orange county.. california.. the United States(!) the more exciting. 

Anyway, here’s a video of Cocha Rocha for Americana Manhasset Fall 2007. 
 
Coco Rocha is a pretty girl but she seems a tad bit awkward in this video. Check out the scene where she’s kissing the male model and maybe you’ll know what I mean.

I love Hilary Rhoda’s classic look that she effortlessly emanates.
Her dark eyebrows also give her that classic character.
My pet peeve is seeing girls with over-plucked eyebrows heavily drawn in. Yuck.

vibrating stick = fashion orgasm

For women out there with stiff, immobile hands, look no further. Select Lancôme counters will offer limited supplies of quivering sticks of mascara. No need for swishing back and forth with this innovative mascara wand. “The product features a formula designed to work specifically with the brush’s 7,000 micro-oscillations per minute, a combination that completely wraps each individual lash in product for maximum separation and extension” (C. Ellenberg). Wowzer. So is this the inevitable demise of clumpy lashes? I hope no one sues for accidental gouged eyeballs..

i have a big honker

Today my brother made me the more self conscious about my nose. In spite of being blessed for not being born with the unfortunate endowment of a flat, asian nose, I still cringe when I see my huge nose reflected back at me in the mirror. I have a small face and my nose just overpowers all other features. Thus explains my desire to get a rhinoplasty ASAP. However, I’m afraid that i’ll end up with a botched honker that i’ll have to live with for the rest of my existence. Hollywood has provided me with fairly current examples of how well or how bad a nose job can turn out (i.e. the two Ashleys: Simpson + Tisdale). 

I wonder how many of you out there feel the same way about your noses. I need dinero quick!
