~Do It Myself? Oh Hell No...I Want Her To Do It For Me~

It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.”

~Napoleon Hill

I have never been much of a DIY kind of girl... I would much rather trot (Yes, sometimes I "trot") into a building with a B on it (Barney's, Bloomies, Bergdorf's, Bendel's...) and buy whatever it is I want/need/desire. Sometimes I do have a vision of something I would like to make reality but the only time I'm artistic is when I have a makeup brush in my hand.When it comes to the art of makeup I'm Picasso (Yes, I do say so myself) but other than that...no. Not even a little bit.

Lauren Tennenbaum of InDecorous Taste however is BRILLIANT at DIY projects. I actually feel like I'm belittling the art she creates by even calling them DIY projects. Her latest shoe creation has me salivating... These shoes are BEYOND... Her use of harnesses, studs and crystals... I'm speechless.

~OH-EM-EFF-GEE Alexander McQueen Fall 2010/Handbags and Shoes~

"It’s not about tricks…my shows are a form of entertainment more than anyone else’s show, it’s not just a commercial platform, it’s what keeps me interested in the evolution of fashion, otherwise I find it banal."

– Alexander McQueen

A lil while back I brought you photos of Alexander McQueen's beyond amazing Fall 2010 Collection. A utterly decadent and sublime collection. Admiring and writing about it was bittersweet though... I can remember looking at the divine collection and thinking "This maybe his best collection yet" and then I remembered...it's also his last. I won't even delve into that sadness. Instead I will try to see the silver lining which is that I wholeheartedly believe that couture, real couture, are pieces of art and so in that respect Mr.McQueen is immortal. I found further proof of this theory while surfing the web today. I was on one of my favorite sites, Nitrolicious and saw what can only be described as pure artistic genius in the form of Alexander McQueen's Fall 2010 handbags and shoes... I literally stopped breathing when I laid on eyes on these photos.

Long live the King...

~MODELCHICK's Transformation From Black To Blond...Again. So F'n Fabulous~

Follow my blog with bloglovin´

"The loneliest woman in the world is a woman without a close woman friend."
-George Santayana

How did Glamour Whore celebrate Valentine's Day? Taking part in a makeover of course... Specifically: Documenting her close friend Rinna's (MODELCHICK to you...) transformation from dark brown/black to BLOND...again. Lemme give you the background:

Years and years ago I walked into a NYC apartment filled with friends of mine and laid eyes on a force of nature by the name of Rinna... AKA Rinna La Reina AKA MODELCHICK. She was 5ft 9in tall, had the brightest smile ever, the clearest most gorgeous olive skin and the FIERCEST platinum blond hair with black underneath (if it were red I would swear Mr.Louboutin gained inspiration from her...). For those who have read Jackie Collins novels, when I picture the character Venus Maria I always picture Rinna.


Her laugh was loud and infectious and I knew 2 things immediately 1) we were going to be the bestest of girlfriends. And we are... hell, she's family now. And 2) I had found my muse.
Since that day we have seen each other thru heartbreak and love affairs, success and failures, fun and misery, and a million transformations... A few years ago my Mexican/Greek goddess decided she wanted to get back to basics and return to her dark roots, literally. She went brunette. And although she proved you can have fun in any hair color, lately she had the itch to go back to blond. Platinum blond. And I wanted to take you all along on her journey...

Abut Rinna:
Born and raised in the deep south, MODELCHICK made the trek to Gotham in her early twenties. She took the city by storm, having fun and making a living doing various jobs: modeling, PR, bartending, writing, etc... And today she is the Founder/Editor-In-Chief of "Starrphuk Ent" a blogzine in which she reports on the world that she lives in ...the world of erotica. I love her writing, she specializes in all topics: politics, food, entertainment, the economy, etc and how they all correlate back to sex. It's hot, informative and interesting all at the same time. Mz.La Reina is also an accomplished cook and has a series of cooking video "Cooking After Dark", they are posted on the aforementioned website and I suggest you check em out...

Saturday:
Greeted at the door by her adorable pup Wilhelmina, I once again marveled at the wonderful colors of her apartment even though I have been there a bazillion times. My girl definitely lives life in living color...


LOL @ the her board games...and a issue of Vogue:


Rinna informed we the color was going to be done by Wanda, a FIERCE hairstylist and owner of "Essence Of Hair" located at 372 Summit Avenue Jersey City 201-963-5702. We walked over there and it began...

Before:


The bleach application:
Rinna wanted a black undercarriage so the hair had to be separated. Then Wanda began the process...


Even though Rinna's hair actually lightens fairly quickly, a dramatic process like this takes some time...and a girl's gotta eat. So we called Marco's in Jersey City to deliver some of their delicious pasta...

And then our girl Roz stepped in for a wash and dry. She wouldn't let me take a facial pic however I did manage to photograph how we get thru the tedious procedures that keep us gorgeous:


Then I took a minute to myself in the very, very back room (cigarette break...oh shut up):


Finally time to rinse and apply toner:


Rollers in and under the dryer she goes...

At this point (4 hrs later) it was after midnight and I headed home to get some sleep...
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday:
I'm back!!! It's Valentine's Day and some some quality time of girl talk, late lunch and a cute movie... the transformation continues:

Her hair has been styled and it's my job to give her a new makeup look... I choose slightly smokey eyes, pale lips lips and contoured cheeks....GORGEOUS!!



And to quote an episode of Seinfeld: "Yes, they're real and they're fabulous." Lol...

Used to rock a throwback
Ballin on the corner
Now I rock a tailored suit
Lookin like a owner

Brother, I'm a grown up
No I'm not a virgin
I use my kahonas

Somebody call a waitress
Baby, I'm a boss

World can't hold me
Too much ambition
Always knew it'd be like this
When I was in the kitchen
Niggas in the same spot
Me, I'm dodging raindrops
Meaning I'm on vacay
Chillin on the big yacht

Bought the land tore the mufuckin house down
Bought the car tore the mufuckin roof off
Ride clean, I don't never take the shoes off
Bought the jeep tore the mufuckin doors off
Foot out that bitch ride the shit like a skateboard
Navigation on tryna find my next thrill
Feelin myself I don't even need a X pill
Can't chill but my neck will
Haters really gon be mad off my deal
I don't know why they worried bout my pockets
Meanwhile, had Oprah chillin in the projects
Had her out in Bedstuy, chillin on the steps
Drinkin quarter waters, gotta be the best
MJ at Summer Jam, Obama on the text
Yall should be afraid of what I'm gon do next
Hol'up

Freeze, somebody bring me back some money please

I got a million ways to get it

-Jay Z "On To The Next One" Blueprint III



First and foremost I would like to wish one of my fellow bloggers, Sound-savvy, a Happy New Year!! Sound-Savvy is one of the best music blogs/websites on the net. I have a serious music addiction and SS is my fix/dealer. Today my honey @soundsavvy (he's also a fellow twit-a-holic) posted Jay Z's newest video for the uber-hot cut "On To The Next One" and it's the best New Year's gift EVER.

Oh how I love my Hov...ok, technically he's Bey's Hov, but I love him in a different way. He is one of the greatest artists of all time and I love his music, I also respect his overall conduct, his natural intelligence and gut instinct, his style and demeanor...I could go on and on. Jay Z is the only man in the Glamour Whore Hall Of Fame, due to his ability to rock a dapper white tux and jeans and a fitted in the same evening and look natural in both. He is the definition of a renaissance man... *eyes glaze over and deep exhale*

This video has the sexiest Jaguar I have ever seen, a diamante skull, INSANE MAKEUP,and Hov, it's once again "Where the hood and high fashion meet"...



I could go on and on but I won't...or have I already? Just watch the video already....*sigh*



Happy New Year Sound-Savvy!!!! Thanx for the video and for always providing thought provoking articles, hot music and videos and completely positive upbeat accurate music news daily!! -Keep up the good work:)
