Throughout most of the 90's I wore clothes from the 70's and 80's! I invaded EVERY vintage shop around town. I also wore plaid dresses with solid color tights and very high platform mary janes...or band tshirts like the cure, porno for pyros, morrissey, peter murphy, tones on tail, and christian death with a pair of bootleg or bellbottom corduroys. To go out at night, we would wear renaissance gowns that looked like something out of romeo and juliet or the other extreme... all leather. The preppy people would always tell us we were a bunch of "freaks." This was of course before Marilyn Manson... then dressing like that just wasnt a fashion statement anymore, the "look" went commercial (as I like to say) and everyone really DID start dressing like a bunch of freaks...

YSL is excellent for our fashion shows bc of its high pigmentation. The color is bolder and stays on longer. Chanel is one that my makeup artists LOVE to use because it is really easy to blend they say. Personally, I use YSL to go out at night or for occassions that may not allow much time for touch-ups. I use Aveda and Mac if its for daily use. 'Love, Caro' is a new line that I also use. Actually it's my favorite in the entire world but I'm biased bc my sister is Caro! ( Hope you remember I said that when my bday comes around! j/k. )

That ad is so funny! There are probably people out there that would do that...

Sonar is a great place to party. Good music and no shade. I recommend it.

There is a Crobar here in Miami and it's really good. I go there a lot. It would be really cool to go see "The Original" in Chicago!

Thanks for the info dmbootylicious!

Hi CPers I live in Miami and will be visiting Chicago soon. Any suggestions on what to do and see (tourist stuff). What are the nightlife hot spots?

I love Janes Addiction. I wish they would come down to Miami! :heart: :heart: :heart:

This pic looks like one of those pics they take for the yearbook when you are a senior! Child molestation is ABSOLUTELY no laughing matter... but you have to admit, the Jackson family is a bit weird. This isn't the first time Michael is accused and taken to court. Last time he settled, predictions are that he won't settle with this case. Who knows what really happened? I'm sure there are innocent people put away in jail and guilty people set free every day.

Typically, people suggest go light during summer and dark during fall/winter. HOWEVER, it all depends on your hair type. If your hair is dry or damaged you should actually go light (but not too light) during fall/winter and darker during summer bc the sun and weather works better with your hair that way. As for a haircut: Since I want to keep my hair long, I usually tell my hairstylist to cut just enough so my hair is healthy... sometimes that means a little off the ends, sometimes it means 2 inches! Personally, I think there are way too many factors to consider: like height, skintone, bodyshape, facial structure, wardrobe, career, etc... These are all factors you should really consider. TO ME, A haircut is SO personal, it's hard to really advise others.

This whole thread is hilarious! :laugh:

:laugh:

true...

Thanks for the info... I'll definitely be there!

I missed it... does anyone know where I can find any pics of the show?

OOPS! I forgot... don't forget to buy wicks also.

If you have time (which I know no one really does now a days!) go to your local craft store and buy wax and molds with scented oils. You can make your own...it's really easy, plus you can control the intensity of the scents your candles give off by the amount of oil you use. I've only done this once, but the entire process was very therapeutic and the candles smelled great.... although they were a bit deformed!

I've never heard of it... but you know how some places sell little hand towels that are compressed like a brick into a teeny tiny size and then rapped in plastic... once you open them then expand into towels (vaccum packed). You can package them like that and then sell them in a dispenser much like the ones for pads and tampons.

A website I work with: www.Lyphe.GQ.nu is looking for runway models they can interview and feature as their model of the month (new column). They are looking for someone that has an extensive portfolio. They will send you a small interview form/quesionaire and ask for 2-3 pictures they can post. Please let me know if any of you are interested.

Everyone deserves to look good... whether you pay $3 or $3,000,000 on an outfit. I understand that the line loses it's exclusivity which for some people (like me) is a big deal bc we all strive to be different. But, after the whole target designer campaigns, I don't get too upset about it anymore. Needless to say, when someone asks who I'm wearing and I say Todd Oldham, Issac Mizrahi or Cynthia Rowley they think it's "for Target" stuff... and it used to get me upset which made me come across as a shady b*tch ... but I've realized that if it looks good, who cares what other people think. ..........just my 2 cents... well, actually 3 cents

$600 for a Gucci bracelet... I've spent more on other stuff (like shoes and purses and clothes)...but that was the one that hurt the most bc it's just a bracelet which you can't really use everytime or everywhere. (well, not "JUST" a bracelet... it's Gucci!)

Here are some examples of what I like. These are from the thread Spring 04 Highlights

Yeah...Michael Jackson probably started that trend :laugh:

Ahhhhhhhhhh... you probably just haven't met the right one yet. She'll come along and you'll just know when you meet her!

Just wanted to give a special thanks to everyone that made it to the show. It was a beautiful night and I'm happy to see so much support for the fashion scene here in Miami! I hope to see you all at the next function!
