FASHION SPEAKS OUT: DON.T VIOLATE ME PERVERT! & HAPPY THANKSGIVING LOVES!

HAVE YOU HEARD?: Well everyone is on the negative about being scanned at the airport, and not only just a simple X-Ray type scan, but the type that allows you to see everything, yeah everything! So people feel violated that not only do they get the classical perverse padding and the metal detectors [lost my favorite hoodie that way] but also allows them to see you [basically naked, violated much?] ... so as most people are traveling for thanksgiving, I wish you the best so HAPPY THANKSGIVING! lovely people.

PLUTOCRACY & KWESI ABBENSETTS, GOT TO LOVE

PLUTOCRACY: "an american born fashion label that exudes luxury. Luxury is not a price point but an attitude . An attitude to detail. A craftsmanship that says; or gives the power to RULE"
PLUTOCRACY is a as you see a label that gives the "power to rule", 
I was on That Good Good Blog and saw her post which was about Kwesi Abbensetts the photographer of theses photos you're seeing [since he was hired by Plutocracy to shot their lookbook for this line]. As much as this could be about Plutocracy, it is also about Kwesi Abbensetts [who brought the talent to bring out the beauty in theses clothes and models, 'cause right now I so want to buy these]. 
These outfits above and below, they are just favorites of mine. The colors, the sophistication and edgyness to it, is just to killer and this whole lookbook was styled by Stylist: Jean S. Hall [google]
This work on make-up was done by Make-up Artist: Apryl Rankin, who I have to say did very detailed yet not in you're face looks [google]. 
The models that did this shoot, were Folasade Adeoso & Liz Coicou

DESIGNER: FRED BUTLER

Kaleidoscope by Fred Butler:
I'm just intriguied by this [more like how a cat's always amused by a ball of yarn] ... I just love the very couture accessories, although very statement like and I'm would wear something a little simpler like a broach at most, 'cause I'm a very minimalist and simple type of dresser [but I would definitely wear a simple dress and dress it up with at least one statement piece], but I appreciate her work and I see her vision for it. These images are very futuristic and very clean, yet so elegant. Being a props stylist and accessories designer, her work is very fun, elegant, and has a very modern and more ahead of our time feel to it, but never too in your face [ I said elegant didn't I] ... she's done a lot of work with magazines and etc, so you know she's not some small fish in a big pond and she's still getting more people to see her vision, me included. 

The photographic work I will have to say is amazing, it really brings out the whole look and the vision.
































would love to know WHO did this photo shoot so I can take a look at more of his/her work because it's just too killer, and the way I keep analyzing these two photos I'm starting to sense isn't too healthy [lol]

Ladies and Gentlemen we're dealing with a tweet-aholic here ... yupe ... she's very interactive with people and  can be found tweeting [with about 2,704 tweets and counting.lol.] so you'll find her tweeting HERE

Fred Butler's work can be found HERE on her site
She's also a blogger on blogger too, yum = HERE

CHICKEN FEET, NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED

 well these are my bargain steal, after buying these I saw identical like shades that cost about $150, but I got these for about $15 dollars, can you say "take away a zero mister and it's a deal".lol ... of course you would! :)















when did we lose the vision and just go for the "in the name of looking different" arts and crafts. I have no idea who thought the chicken leg would really give it some type of edge, the chicken shoe doesn't even look yummy [at least you could have given me that.lol.] ... if they could change the chicken leg to a black heel ...
If the heel was of the norm it wouldn't have made such an impact on me, but the leg changes everything!
//If getting noticed was what they wanted, you've got me hooked on "wtf!"

//TODAY: winner will be announced tomorrow at midnight, you still have time [remember there are two winners]
