Michael Jackson waves Goodbye.

August 29, 1958 — June 25, 2009

Another STAR has left us to help brighten the Heaven’s. For Michael Jackson’s short 50 years on this planet, we were fortunate enough to experience what it is like to know LOVE. Michael exemplified the Innocence of  Honest Beauty and the Pureness of Inner Beauty. How fortunate for us on this planet that he left us so much Music and Words that we will have, always. Michael also left us THREE Little Glowing Lights who reflect the Warmth of their Father. We wish them well and I hope they are treated much kinder than Michael was. They will need ALL of our support through the years because already they know Loss! May Society spare them any more Pain and Anguish already endured.

Michael Jackson Rules

Enjoy viewing some highlights of the FALL2008 Collections from some of Europe’s top houses and more. It’s really what I call high art or perhaps, theatre is more like it. Though the French particularly know how to create a garment that insist on a grand entrance, it’s the American ready-to-wear Designers that seem to all know how to design, manufacture and market clothes for the masses. Haute Couture is why I fell in love with Fashion Designing. But. For all practical purposes I realized as a working designer how difficult it was to always keep a well structured garment within a range of affordability. I imagine there is still your wealthy patrons and celebrity buyers but for the rest of us, it is still the question of “….how much is it going to cost?” It is for that reason even the Europeans have resorted to hiring and taking on so many American Designers to share in their design and manufacture of clothes we can ALL afford. Bona petite!

It looks like Ms. Naomi is having a lot of trouble managing her bi-polar problems. She’s obviously not getting sufficient help. I read an article in W magazine this Friday, 5/30/08 that clearly shows that things are really getting out of hand for the old girl. Who by the way is claiming to be the seasoned actress. Oh…..k! Well maybe she needs to focus on something other than beating people up and trying to proclaim her innocense all the time. It’s really ALL getting a bit old, somewhat like her don’t you think. At least old enough to know better. I just don’t understand what happens to celebrities when they do find fame and then they become so interested in being private people again. It’ hysterical. Why bother to begin with. Make up your minds, if there’s one still available and STOP the paranoia, life does offer many options. If you choose fame. Deal with it. Following is a copy of that W article:

NAOMI’S LATEST PICKLE: Naomi Campbell is in hot water again, this time across the pond. The British Crown Prosecution Service Thursday charged Campbell with six offenses linked to an alleged outburst last month on a flight from the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport. The supermodel, whose charges could carry a maximum six-month jail sentence and fines, will be brought to trial at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court here on June 20.

Campbell was charged with three counts of assaulting a policeman, one count of disorderly conduct and two counts of using threatening behavior and abusive words to cabin crew. A dispute purportedly arose over lost Louis Vuitton luggage on a British Airways flight, from which Campbell was forcibly removed.

“Miss Campbell is bitterly disappointed that the prosecutors have advised her she is to be prosecuted for various offenses,” stated Campbell’s lawyer, Simon Nicholls. “She respects the decision and hopes this matter will be dealt with expeditiously.” The maximum sentence for Campbell’s alleged assault carries a six-month jail penalty and/or a fine of up to 5,000 pounds, or $9,850 at current exchange. The other counts each carry fines of up to 1,000 pounds, or $1,970.

This is not the first brush with the law for Campbell. Last year, the model served five days of community service in New York after pleading guilty to hitting her former maid with a cell phone in 2006, and in the same year she reportedly paid $400,000 to actress Yvonne Sciò to settle a dispute over an alleged assault out of court. Campbell also was arrested in London in 2006 for allegedly attacking her drug counselor, but British police did not press charges.

We’ve had a busy month at loosing some of the “rich girls” of society who got lucky by marrying the “right guys”. Leona Helmsley and Brooke Astor who both took their dead husband’s money to the next level. My kinda women. Leona obviously a survivor who after that big scandal about how she treated her staff, still continued to rule with her iron fisted face and talent for saving a penny. Unlike Leona. Brooke Astor ruled her organization with a short leash. But. Rivaled her benefactors with great scrutiny and decision making whenever contributing to their cause. Quite the management expert. All in all, Brooke Astor was always dressed to the nines upon appearance and presentation of herself. She really kept Paris and NYC couture designers afloat with all those expensive “Suits and Dresses”. She wore them all so well, back in the day. Leona Helmsley? Well. That’s another story. Though she always played it safe with her wardrobe. By no means was her style that of Brooke Astor. Yet. They both taught their counterparts and colleagues what a girl can do with a few bucks given the right opportunity.

Here’s the “schedule” for New York City’s, Fall 2007 Collections. Of course this is for Spring 2008 and it should prove to be a good one. Since a lot of our American designers are really cutting edge these with days, with their own stores, private collections, ready-to-wear lines, QVC and so on. The collections maybe still significant to sales and this collection should prove to be no different. So. Get in line for your viewing. Or. Do like lots do and sneak your way in. Whatever, however you get to partake. It’s never a bore. And yes! Don’t forget to bring your armor. The girls are getting more and more agreessive as I’ve been told. Thank God moi doesn’t have to deal with that bunch anymore. Have fun everyone and “….have a fashionable good time”.

What would the Oscars look like without diamonds? Or the Golden Globes? What would Hollywood be like without diamonds? How about Paris Hilton without diamonds? Ever wonder if fashion would be as hot if it weren’t for diamonds? Let’s face it, there is a reason diamonds are said to be a girl’s best friend – they are utterly versatile and go with any outfit.

Diamonds are so versatile that you see them in diamond-studded tiaras on the heads of princesses and debutatants. They can look just as good on a bride or a sweet sixteen. And, if you must go for the hip-hop or punk look, there’s definitely ways to add them to your wardrobe without looking like you’ve committed a fashion faux pas. Even men can wear them without giving up their macho elegance. You can put them in your teeth, on your purses, your shoes, your ears, around your neck, in your hair, and even on sewn into your gowns.

You just can’t do that with just any old fashion accessory. After all, when was the last time someone stuck a pearl in his or her teeth and made hip-hop history? Some things just aren’t stylish! Diamonds don’t have that problem. They go with any fashion scene out there. They pair well with other gems and always pump up any fashion. Wherever you go and whatever you choose to wear, there is a diamond accessory that can make your add the exclamation point to your personal style.

How STOICAL is this photo? It takes so little to be famous these days. Example! “American Idol” , “America’s Next Top Model”, “Survivor”, “The Next Best Thing” …. and it goes on and on and on and on… this IS our NEW reality! When are we going to get a break. Society has begun taking young people who basically stand for absolutely N O T H I N G (simply because they haven’t had much of life’s experience) and elevated them, like Paris, to International icons. This brings to mind one thing. That. It is not only America that is starving for “Icons”, “Stars” & “Heroes”. But. The rest of the world too is bored, idle, confused and even desperate. There is also something also to be said for young people being such easy prey of this dire need to fill this VOID. Hence, Paris Hilton. She really shouldn’t take any of the “blame” for societies desperate attempt to find interesting subjects or subject matter to help fill this gap afflicted by so many, many dull people. The lack of recognition & celebration of our modern day true “Heroes and Sheroes” goes on without question. This is why Paris Hilton gets top billing. No one seems to understand what a farce it is to make a fuss over someone that is sooooooooooo, soooo, well, ……….UNIMPORTANT!
Seems like we don’t know WHAT the hell to value anymore. Or who? This is why people like “Paris Hilton” become such an easy subject to talk about. Better yet. Prey! She’s able, all by her lack of self, conjour up media frenzy & attention. Certainly, we now know that the “Press” is always waiting for the next desperately shallow and boring candidate, seeking free promotion for whatever they don’t do, cannot do or want to do. It’s just all getting out of hand. As I said. This is no fault of Paris that the world is missing a champion! She just happens to be available most of the time. We await the next targeted celebrity wannabe that hungers to find world status. But. It still is sad though, to think, that people have resorted to making a person like “PARIS HILTON”, a person of public interest.

Ok? Which one of those bitches squeezed “baby oil” on the floor helping to cause “Miss Rachel’s mishap. That tumble was very, veeeeery shady. The poor thing hadn’t taken but two steps and there she was, facing the horizon. Anywho? Let’s not forget the pressure our poor Miss USA was under with Mexico’s notables, heckling and booing her based on our government’s policies. That was indeed, very unfortunate that she would have to undergone that added strain of having to strut across that stage, looking pretty and smiling while being ridiculed. Not to worry though. Rachel will get over it. Mexico wil too. But will the Press ever let Rachel or us forget it?
Riyo Mori a 20-year-old dancer from Japan, was crowned Miss Universe 2007 dressed in a black base gown, trimmed with a diamond set-in chiffon print that flowed very nicely on the stage. Sort of a combo Pucci and Giorgio Sant’Angelo. All together an interesting evening.
