Jean Paul Gaultier does Target

Another high-end fashion designer teams up with Target to create a more "affordable" line.  Jean Paul Gaultier for Target won't be available in stores until March 7th, but the entire look-book collection has been released.  Here are a few of my favorite looks and pieces:

R.I.P. Alexander McQueen

Today, the fashion world mourns the loss of iconic designer, Alexander McQueen.  It is speculated that McQueen may have taken his own life as he was grieving the loss of his mother, who died a week ago.  McQueen's designs were adorned by such celebrities as Sara Jessica Parker, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga to name a few. Alexander McQueen was supposed to unveil his new collection at Paris Fashion Week on March 9th. He was only 40 years old.  So sad : (

Here is McQueen pictured with Supermodels Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss

R.I.P. Mr McQueen, your contribution to the world of fashion will truly be missed...

Couture Lollipops

Sugar Factory had its Launch Party for former Spice Girl Mel B's Sugar Factory Couture Lollipop Series at Guys and Dolls Lounge in Los Angeles, CA last night.

Couture Lollipops, created by Sugar Factory, come with bejeweled and custom handles.  They can be custom made to match your mood or outfit.  Couture Lollipops are portable and come with a case to put away and save for later.  The Signautre Series Couture Lollipops have become a favorite amongst many fashionable stars like Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears and Rihanna, just to name a few.

Kim Kardashian came out to celebrate with Mel B.  Both ladies look fabulous.  Love both dresses they are rocking.

Here's Britney Spears with her Couture Lollipop

Rihanna and Katy Perry were spotted back in August sucking on Couture Lollipops.

You can purchase the Signature Series Couture Lollipops at sugarfactory.com  for a whopping $25 a "pop" (pun intended).  I can't front, they definitely make cute fashion "accessories", but I can't see myself paying $25 for a single sucker.  I'd feel like I got "suckered" (pun intended again) after it was gone.  

Alter Ego

Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child is one of the many celebrities to do an "Alter Ego" photo shoot with Atlanta's famed photographer Derek Blanks.  Kelly's alter ego was "Rosie the Riveter" vs Pin-Up girl.

 

 

I LOVE it! Kelly is such a fabulous chick. This is probably one of my favorite alter ego shoots to date.  Check out more of Derek Blank's work at dblanks.com.

Here's a "behind the scenes" video from the photo shoot:

And here are some other pictures that Kelly took with Mr. Blanks:

 

Absolutely Stunning!

Turn Up the Heat!

That title is very appropriate for the cold temps Atlanta and other cities/states around the U.S. have been experiencing this winter.  But this time I'm not referring to the weather.  I'm speaking of singer, Beyonce's new fragrance called "Heat".  She recently filmed the official commercial for the fragrance.  I found some really cute "behind the scenes" pictures online from the commercial shoot.  I love "behind the scenes" photos and video footage.  They are always so candid.  Candid shots make the best pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

And here is one of her ads for "Heat"

And here is the finished product:

Very Sexy and Sultry. But what else would you expect from Mrs. Carter? I haven't smelled this fragrance yet.  If any of you have experienced "Heat" please leave a comment and let me know whether or not you like it.
