Unbreakable?

What's the Oscars without a dash of wannabe celebs pushing their way into these post-Oscar parties just to get their five minutes of fame? And who better to lead that pack than my favourite celeb aka Posh looking disgustingly thin and channeling Morticia Addams at the same time.

On a serious note, how much thinner is this useless woman aiming to reach?? Her arms alone look like they could break IF someone came up to shake her hands. How does Becks even manage not to break any of her bones when they're in bed?

Tippy Toes

How is this comfortable?!? I don't care if this is trendy or the way forward in how we define shoes but this is just ugly.

Even more unfortunate is the owner/wearer herself...ugghhh!

Have a good week ahead peeps :D

Would you wear these?

Aminaka Wilmont sole-less heels

Wooyoungmi men's clear plastic, lace-up boots (fellas, would you wear these?)

Marc Jacobs

I love shoes. Ask my family/friends and they can attest to that. But my love for all things shoes has its limits too. Case in point these shoes taken from the recent Spring 2009 fashion shows. Although I can somehow picture Posh wearing the near-to-impossible-to-walk Marc Jacobs stilettos and successfully pulling it off! D*** you Posh!?!

Here we go again

Oh boy, this must be my lucky day...

She hasn't exactly been flying under the radar - God forbid that she'd ever do that! - it just so happens that her recent activities have been somewhat tolerable (yes, even the baggy jeans and sandals/slippers stint a couple of months back) ... shocking isn't it?? Until this.

As is her style, Posh has never been one to slack in the one arena where she actually shows any kind of talent: fashion. With her supposed good friend making headlines lately with her rolled-up baggy jeans and ever-shortened haircut, one would think Posh has lost her touch to "shock". That would almost be akin to Paris Hilton deciding to pursue a degree in Yale/Harvard/Oxford University!

Of course the critics didn't deride her for her efforts. She played the game well. Stick to something safe (although the black dress looks eerily similar to Roland Mouret's infamous Moon dress) . Well done...
..but as for Posh...what is up with the two shades of tan?? And the scary looking skeletal neck and lack of flesh thereof? Yes, we all know how you only feast on sushi and the like just so you can compete with the rest of the other shallow, self-centred celebrities...but heck, even JLo looks healthier, not to mention miles better and more au naturale (yes there was makeup involved but Posh looks so forced in contrast to JLo) than you ever will be!

About time

Teddy bears and fashion. Words that have nothing in common with each other, the former generally associated with soft toys, children, childhood pets and even adults with the latter, Dior, Paris, Milan, trends and the list goes on.

Up until now.
"Fashion’s latest accessory fetish springs from controversial roots. The teddy bear came into being, or so the story goes, when President Theodore Roosevelt refused to kill an American black bear on a hunting trip, and the resulting political cartoon inspired a soft toy. Now it has inspired a thousand fashionistas, too: this season, add a furry bear to your outfit for the ultimate in ironic faux-naïf style. Of course, there is the fashion icon of the autumn, Brideshead Revisited’s Sebastian Flyte, or, for once, take your cue from Paris Hilton, with a candy-sweet princess version. Even Karl Lagerfeld has got in on the act, with a stern-looking teddy made in his image. Here, he explains the appeal of the toy bear.

How do you explain the fact that a man like you still refuses to give up his teddy?

I like animals very much — above all, when they are stuffed with cotton or plastic. It is the best way to be sure they do not bite, eat, smell badly or mess with your things. " [For more]

It's high time teddy bears get the deserved recognition! If Mr Lagerfeld is cool with having his own teddy bear, then maybe it's time to start looking for my old teddy. Or maybe I can ask Kittabee if I can borrow her Teddy Buruk *hehehe*

50 and still going strong

She's about to embark on her World Tour, cheekily called Sticky and Sweet (that's Madonna for you). She's courted controversy, from ruffling religious feathers to dabbling in sexual fantasies (Sex anyone?) to divorce rumours, and still is. Forget about Kylie or Katie Holmes or Posh Spice, she is the mother of reinvention (virginal vamp, Marilynesque bombshell, Material Girl, ambisexual dominatrix, spiritual diva, lady of the manor, disco diva). She's shrewd, tough, disciplined and has a smart command of what's "in"..and let's not forget, she's bloody rich too! Probably will be even more richer when her Live Nation deal kicks in. Love her or hate her, she's one smart, tough chica and from the looks of it, she isn't showing signs of slowing down, let alone letting the big 5-0 affect her.

All hail the Queen (no pun intended to the actual Queen) and Happy Birthday!


I still love this...such a happy song :D

Frock shock

The dress

You know something isn't right with the world when wearing the same dress in three separate occasions makes the headline news. And this is no ordinary person, no sirree. The culprit being none other than the infamous ice queen of the fashion world herself, Anna Wintour. I won't even attempt to make any guesses, let alone analyse the reasons behind this farce but if she's trying to start a new trend which the rest of us have been doing all along a.k.a recycling, she's definitely in for a surprise!

Oh, the shock and horror of it all!

We have a winner

D.C being embraced by the lovely Michael Johns (didn't he look yummy in that suit??)

12 million votes!

I repeat, 12 million votes.

No it wasn't a million or even three, it was a staggering 12 million which separated David Cook from Archie-boy to become the eventual winner for this season's American Idol. I was almost reduced to tears after seeing his "suddenly it dawned on him" reaction uuuwaaaaaahhhhhhhhh ...to think I'd almost (completely) given up on him.. bad bad Kitty

A side comment about Jordin Sparks but how UGLY was that dress?!!? Perhaps she should take some lessons from Carrie Underwood on how to graduate from boring, southern comfort to sexy and glamourous.

Green..with envy

How does this woman do it?

Wasn't it like two weeks ago that she was showing her newborn son..and even then she looked like she'd already lost all, if not most of her pregnancy "fat"! Even Salma, Halle, J-Lo and Christina are still sporting their post-pregnancy curves. Some people are just darned lucky..

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Celebrities...when they dress up, it'll either end up wowing us or giving us a bad case of gastritis, which I feel is a shame seeing how much money was spent (or not) on making them look fabulous. Here are some examples of the good, the bad and the downright ugly..

Christina looking all grown up

Looking good Ellen..

Gorgeous dress...shame about the gloves tho'

Words cannot describe this 'mess'..

..or this..oh Anna, we had such high hopes for you..

Finally..mine

Unveiling my new "baby"... some of you might recall seeing this early in the year (i think) though in a different shade. It's less stiff-upper looking and lighter as opposed to the Uptown which rarely sees the light of day except when I accidentally stumble upon it!

Aaahhh...this is how it feels to be in love..

One Fine Day

After being away for almost a week, and missing out on the nightly rituals which usually take place during a wedding ceremony, the big day has arrived. Alhamdulillah, this morning's function went well..weather was fine..and most importantly, the groom didn't keep the bride waiting...oh and the bride's gown was simply divine!

Congratulations again to the newly-weds

Nihilism..greed..religion..a French icon..teenage pregnancy..a serial killer with the oddest haircut in cinematic history..a rogue spy seeking revenge..who would've thought these themes would reign supreme in this year's Academy Awards aka the Oscars? While I have yet to watch a big chunk of the nominated movies, though I truly recommend No Country For Old Men not just for the sake of watching Javier Bardem's mophead hairdo, there was no big sweep a la Titanic and Lord of The Rings.

Having said all that, the Oscars wouldn't be the Oscars without the glamour and glitz of the celebrities. Designers, hair stylists, makeup artists, manicurists, jewellers, personal stylists all depend on this one particular night to showcase their gowns, shoes, handbags, jewellery, hairstyles and all sorts of creation...can you imagine the heartbreak and cries of frustration/losses if the writers' strike couldn't be resolved in time for today?

After watching repeats of E!'s Live from the Red Carpet as well as checking out the usual websites, I must say it was generally disappointing. The choices were boring and safe - again. Whatever happened to all those female celebrities who'd been attending all these fashion shows prior to the Oscars?!? Where were the gorgeous Herve Leger dresses which were adorned by the likes of Mandy Moore, Joss Stone etc? At times like these, another Bjork swan-dress or even Cher's see-through whatchamacallit would've added some humour to the already lacklustre show...though Jennifer Hudson's nightmare of a dress did come close to being THAT dress!

Anyway..I think these three stood out for me amongst the sea of forgettable gowns..

What was she thinking?? (part 6)

So now, it's ok to flaunt our bra straps??

Starlight, Starbright

If you're wondering what these starburst-filled-with-beads are all about, they're actually taken from my one half of my outfit which, along with loads of gorgeous dresses, arrived yesterday from Jakarta courtesy of our friend, R. Words cannot fully describe all the oufits that were 'displayed' by each of their owners (and the picture does not do justice to the actual workmanship involved) but one thing is for sure....Tatler/Vanity Fair/Bazaar/Vogue, we're ready for our close up! *LOL*

Green with envy

I like America Ferrera. I like her 'cos she doesn't embody the typical skinny-as-bones Hollywood celebrity who 'enjoys' telling the whole world how she is, ahem, naturally skinny or has high metabolism that she can eat almost anything without having to worry about exercising or gaining weight *cough* what a load of bollocks *cough*

However after seeing this picture and repeats of Live From The Red Carpet over at E!, I'm inclined to believe she is starting to get sucked into the dark side...whaddya think readers? Or perhaps the dress is giving such an illusion?

p/s: either way, I think she AND the dress looked gorgeous..

Too much of a good thing?

If there was ever a more over-exposed celebrity, Eva Longoria fits the bill - perfectly. Don't get me wrong, I think she's a delight as Gabriella in Desperate Housewives, but how much more do we need to know about her married life..or even why she bought baby clothing whilst in the UK..or the number of outfit changes she'd made during that trip? I suppose, so long as Desperate Housewives is still showing on telly, she might as well *cough cough* cash in on the fame card while it's H-O-T!

Guessing game

Who's behind the Marc Jacobs bag you ask..here's a clue: it's been awhile since I last dissed her..

What was she thinking?? (part 5)

Dear Kate Moss,

Your sense of style is constantly admired. Others have followed in your footstep, most notably one Sienna Miller, yet none have come close to dethroning you. You can wear those hideous high-waisted wide jeans yet make it look cool. Or even an apron and make it look oh-so-funky. In everyone's eyes, you can do no wrong. But even high-powered celebrities like you can have the rare, if not occasional off-days. Case in point, this questionable outfit...which, much to my surprise, is by Chanel (perhaps Lagerfeld was having an off-day too when he came up with this..) But then if you're Kate Moss, you're likely to be excused and forgiven, and eventually everyone will forget that one of the world's famous models had an off-day. Oh, to be rich, famous and not have a care in the world...*SIGH*

Yours sincerely, Mizz Kitty

What was she thinking?? (part 4)

Want more proof that money cannot buy you style? Then look no further than this..this monstrosity fashionistas dare call, ugh, a handbag.

Fashions are the only induced epidemics, proving that epidemics can be induced by tradesmen.
