~CODE RED!! CODE RED!!~

“A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so unbearable that we are compelled to alter it every six months.” -Oscar Wilde

We are at a fashion "code red" Glamettes...prepare for battle.

The title of this post may seem a little dramatic to you... Actually, if you are a fellow Glamour Whore, nothing is ever too dramatic...what was I thinking?! Anyway...I'm disturbed. Seriously disturbed and distressed. I woke up today and went about my usual morning/afternoon (I like my sleep...don't judge me!), the routine being... Stretch, yawn...get up. Walk to fridge...ice cold pepsi (I said don't judge me!!) Bathroom. Apply moisturizer to my freshly washed face. Take ice cold pepsi to my desk, smoke my morning/afternoon marlboro light (ok, judge me) and start my morning surfing. I get the news first, because being current event ignorant isn't sexy... After I read all of the, usually depressing, news and weather reports I get down to business. Beauty and Fashion news. I start surfing sites from all over the world looking for pertinent information to bring my readers. One of my very favorite sites "The Frisky" which I usually love ran a story that put me in a tailspin which over the course of the day escalated into full-fledged FEAR. The god-awful news that damn near gave me a stroke? An article titled "Dig Out Your Scrunchies—They’re Back In Style!" I REFUSE to accept this and will not allow those hideous, unsightly fashion fails to resurface...REFUSE!!



Now like I said, I was disturbed by the imminent threat of a "scrunchie revival" but little did I know that it was just the tip of the bad fashion iceberg...

Later on in the afternoon I was watching video footage of the upcoming Bravo series "Kell On Earth", a reality series premiering in February about Fashion PR guru Kelly Cutrone and she made a statement that put the fear of God in me... She said (in reference to her show and what you can expect) "You'll be able to learn about the skort...for men. This is a whole big trend right now. It's a skirt/short for men. It's a huge trend in New York, in rockbands and gay men" Omg....this has the potential to be a DISASTER!!! The skort may be the WORST invention EVER. EVER. Seriously...EVER. And a male skort is a act of war dammit...

I did a little research and this trend leads back to Marc Jacobs... I feel so betrayed. Dammit Jacobs, I always supported you...how could you do this?!



And Kelly, you are just being irresponsible by encouraging this nonsense...smh




Scrunchies?! Male Skorts?! A recipe for disaster...What if Perez Hilton starts running around in a skort?! Then what?! Who's paying for the medication and the stay at a mental health facility I'm gonna need after the sight of that?!

We are at a fashion "Code Red"...Good taste is being attacked and I will not stand by and let it happen...I will fight the good fight. So consider yourselves warned scrunchies and skorts!!

~Babies And Jewelry...What's Not To Like?!~

“It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.” -Deepak Chopra

Marie Claire.fr has a editorial in this months issue featuring babies and jewelry... Some people have referred to it as "creepy" or even "disturbing". Ummmm...why? What's the problem? I love babies and I love jewelry. Put them together and that's love x love. Perfect. Lighten up people...



P.S I really really want that cuff on that adorable baby's chubby lil arm...

International FYIs About The Color Blue:

*In Mexico, blue is the color of mourning.
*Blue, blue-green, and green are sacred colors in Iran, where they symbolize paradise.
*In Aztec culture, blue symbolized sacrifice.
*In Greece, the color blue is believed to ward off "the evil eye." Those who believe in this Greek superstition often wear a blue charm necklace or blue bracelet for protection.
*In India, paintings of the god Krishna often depict him as having blue skin.

It's been awhile since I've mentioned/featured Mz.Amber Rose, although I make no secret of the fact that I adore and admire her unique style. Yep. I like her. Get over it.

Mz.Rose has kept a pretty low profile lately. A pic or two of her and her male companion/accessory Kanye pop up now and then but for the most part she has been under the fashion radar lately. Until last night. Last night Amber lit up Atlanta (sans Ye) sporting an "electric blue" shade of lipstick that had her all over the internet this morning.

***PIX COURTESY OF NECOLE BITCHIE***


I know what you think I'm gonna say....that I "love love loved it"...right? Sort of. What I actually love, love, loved is that she wore it. However....
IF SHE WAS MY CLIENT... I would have suggested a much more flattering shade of blue for her hair color and skin-tone...such as:
Limecrime's (yes, my favorite:) "Oh No She Didn't"


I feel that Amber could really do this unique lipstick justice and vice versa. I also see it as a much better shade of blue for her complexion/hair color...

Have a look at the color in "action" courtesy of a fab a post from Limecrime's creator Doe Deere's Blogzine:


P.S Peep the FAB tat on Raquel Reed's leg in the pic above...love love love it.

I would like to thank the AMAZING Necole Bitchie for the pix of Amber Rose. Please visit Necole's fab blog to see many more pix and get the hottest (and more importantly...ACCURATE) news before anyone else.

TK #90: Spoon – Girls Can Tell (2001)

Spoon opened the decade by maturing from alt-rock also-rans to indie superheroes, and Britt Daniel emerged as a songwriter with few peers. With drummer Jim Eno providing a swinging backbeat, Daniel uses warmth and space as much as guitars and piano to sculpt ideas into songs. And on “The Fitted Shirt,” he fondly recalls his dad’s wardrobe over a low-key Led Zep riff.

Girls Can Tell - Spoon

TK # 91 - Romantica - America (2007)

Miss the Jayhawks? Think Gram Parsons could do no wrong? Long for a touch of pre-migraine Wilco? Then belly up to the bar for a taste of Romantica, led by Irish immigrant Ben Kyle and featuring moody, lilting Irish-American tales sweetened by the moving pedal steel of Eric Heywood. Album standout "The National Side"imagines Ryan Adams fronting Calexico for a lament of dashed dreams and hopeful schemes. Lovely.

Romantica - "The National Side"

TK # 92 - The Libertines - Up The Bracket (2002)

More famous for their in-fighting, myriad addictions and supermodel girlfriends, The Libertines also found time to make a couple of slam-bang rock records. Their debut, Up The Bracket, is a sloppy, exhilarating mess of shaggy power pop, arms together “lad” ballads and mod rock. A Faces Oasis.

Rusted Fabric.........Weaving

Click Images to Enlarge:

Woven Rust & Batik Fabrics

I am experimenting with a little weaving.

If I like it, I might add it to my Rust Tex Challenge Quilt...

Rusted Fabric

Batik Fabric

Cutting 1/2 inch strips

Weaving Strips

Lay out all of the vertical rusted strips and pin them at the top and bottom.

Then begin weaving the brown batik strips being sure to pin down on each side.

I am thinking I may use this as a border treatment, so I need to keep it as square as possible.

A smaller iron works well to fuse down the weaving to the layer of fusible web underneath.

Music to Weave By...

This is some of the most relaxing music I listen to:

American Song Book by Rod Stewart

A New Standard by Steve Tyrell

You can listen HERE

Trimming down the woven strips.

I will leave the fusible paper backing on until I know exactly what I will do with this piece.

Woven strips

The colors work with the rusted photo transfer image...

I won't know if this is working until I get more up on the design wall.

I have some more weaving to do...

You can see more Rust Dyeing HERE

Kathi taught me to Rust Dye... check out her work HERE

Somebody is tired of weaving and ready to leave the Thread Shed and call it a night

Fabric Paper.....Painted

Click Images to Enlarge:

Lots of metallic textile gold paint applied to the upper portion of this piece.

I am thinking this needs some sunflowers and big leaves on it...

Pinky Orange with gold metallic applied over leaves as a resist.

Much better in person, just couldn't get a good images of this one.

Very Juicy Orange

Makes You Happy

Blue Green with Yellow spattered over top

Lavender with metallic gold washed over the top

Painted as a landscape with metallic paints

Heavier layer of paint to test the hand of the textile paints.

This Fabric Paper still remains fairly soft and pliable, more like fabric

Pinky Purple with green and gold washes over top

Again, a heavier coating of textile paint, not as watered down.

Experimenting to see just how soft this fabric paper will remain.

My goal is to keep it more like fabric for machine quilting later on.

May Your Bobbin Always Be Full,
