I'm viewing it right now actually. I figured it would be lame, and I was correct. Somehow, Lifetime has managed to do what it does best. It has taken a show steeped in good taste, great talent and some genuine sincerity in its purpose, and turned it into what should be a fall commercial for Sears. <br /><br />Is it just me or are the designers a little less than memorable? I found both the personalities of each, as well as their designs, to be stale, dull, and far from being worthy of landing a tv show. There was one dress that I enjoyed. The designer, I can't remember, but as soon as it came out, i said "that's the only good one", and as it turned out, all the judges agreed. The only flame still burning on this show is Tim Gunn's quirky one liners and Michael Kor's gay panache. Heidi should be fired, even though the show is her own production. She's blah, and we all know she doesn't really wear the designer's clothes any other time than when promoting the show. And I also find it pointless to even have this show anymore. None of the past 5 season winners are even remotely relevant in the fashion biz. At all. This show is not really about scouting out tomorrows fashion genius anymore, but instead about clamoring on to as many ratings as possible. Just like any other reality competition these days.<br /><br />The only highlight from the premiere? Lohan, of course. She came out, got a wild applaud from the contestants (as she should; this will probably be the last time any of them will ever work with her, thank God). She was well poised and better spoken. She knows her shit. She IS fashion. Much more than this low-grade knock-off show of something that used to be much more interesting and relevant. I'm sad to say, I will no longer be watching project runway.<br /><br />UPDATE: the designer i liked was Christopher. It was just mentioned on the screen.<br /><br />xoxoMountains of Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02125685470898525818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865953729343045661.post-2792266019127461222009-08-14T00:45:00.002-04:002009-08-14T00:47:53.153-04:00Thanks be to JesusFashion God/ Devil Anna Wintour is scheduled to make an appearance on David Letterman on August 24th, promoting the new (and amazetastic I'm positive) new <span style="font-style: italic;">Vogue</span> themed documentary, the <span style="font-style: italic;">September Issue</span>.

Hell must have officially froze over, and Coco Chanel is probably rolling in her grave. Perez Hilton has officially made a fashion website in the same style as his regular blog, perezhilton.com. Ok, I love his regular blog; I read it every day...not even gonna lie. But, with that being said, and I don't care if he is gay, there is NO ONE less qualified to have a fashion blog than Perez Hilton. The poor queen is constantly bashing high end fashion, fashion ad campaigns, and always commenting on the shallowness of the whole deal. So why does he have his own blog all about fashion?? I don't get it. And the name? Cocoperez.com. Ok, please don't refer to a style legend in your blog title. The name Coco should NEVER EVER be that close to the name "perez" in the same sentence. And the welcome video? Its fat ass Perez setting in his closet dancing to Gaga's <em>Fashion</em>. It's revolting. And it's shameful. Uncle Karl would not be pleased.<br /><br /><em>If this is the new face of fashion, then I'm sure it's time to switch my major.</em>Mountains of Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02125685470898525818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865953729343045661.post-9812964563869387502009-08-09T20:48:00.002-04:002009-08-09T20:49:39.277-04:00Oooh Laaa Lohaaan!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnWgkjEUJiYQfTvz2kv1roNcjPEeyheQ4PWyx-0bSRzH7qj_D2NLrRmbECUt_tchv0pP-pgJIRDe0znjekcbuAHw5DscSv9W_7s9HQ8kBtmGnXpH72qYEbXJF3LZTgKsXWfNnTxsWolS0/s1600-h/lohanhwood.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 263px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnWgkjEUJiYQfTvz2kv1roNcjPEeyheQ4PWyx-0bSRzH7qj_D2NLrRmbECUt_tchv0pP-pgJIRDe0znjekcbuAHw5DscSv9W_7s9HQ8kBtmGnXpH72qYEbXJF3LZTgKsXWfNnTxsWolS0/s400/lohanhwood.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368130716083989250" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">My take on Loho's newest cover from Spanish <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vogue</span>.</span>Mountains of Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02125685470898525818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865953729343045661.post-24676815795638195722009-08-09T20:35:00.003-04:002009-08-09T21:31:06.406-04:00School Shopping is OHficially Done!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYPv0Jh7Y19KE1guFEO5gT9qq44-xGl__RnakB0vNd0btoJJa3oIAHmtj19EKDmbR-4a7iTZAmcjUpqp0-1ltUUUjoooGK3cPXfgl_hFhIdOTitK5KQh9nsptNtf5GuFhjoL6K15RdBU/s1600-h/090904_fg20.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYPv0Jh7Y19KE1guFEO5gT9qq44-xGl__RnakB0vNd0btoJJa3oIAHmtj19EKDmbR-4a7iTZAmcjUpqp0-1ltUUUjoooGK3cPXfgl_hFhIdOTitK5KQh9nsptNtf5GuFhjoL6K15RdBU/s400/090904_fg20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368130524605504434" border="0" /></a><br />I move to school in less than 3 weeks, and I'm proud to say that I'm finally done making purchases for my upcoming Fall wardrobe.

As of recently, in preparation for the upcoming school year of course, I've managed to wrangle up 3 pieces from the collection. My first was the zippy wallet in lime green. I paid $150 for it, and considering it retails for well over $600, I figured, what a great deal. My next purchase were the men's high top sneakers, also in the lime green print. Price? Lets not go there; they were a tad bit more than the wallet, I'll just say. And just this evening, I made what I'm sure will be my final purchase from the collection. It's the piece that I first wanted, but couldn't decide whether or not I should buy it. It's the leggings, or as I'm going to call them- the pants. As a man, it takes balls to wear them, but not too much, otherwise they'll show right through the spandex leggings themselves. I purchased these in a simple black and white. I'm going to be wearing skin tight bottoms; the need for a neon draw to my bottom half is practically non-existent. I've had enough of Sprouse now. I don't think I'll go into withdrawals, but I guess we'll see.Mountains of Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02125685470898525818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865953729343045661.post-31784594646358138642009-07-17T23:06:00.002-04:002009-07-17T23:09:39.880-04:00Lindsay Lindsay Lindsay!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieM5cgzSFwmhmlp_FWQlCO9voBeXmmwe_9uFG8u_rp4yCNrp7NA_vtk3g6phLR1irekCnl-bjDRrTznrjfk1lZiBObbhJqbuCWSBl5c30jRGsKpO8oiFO-PbsH5jpoQ1FcMo5tA24zZ_4/s1600-h/lohan+fornaria.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 270px; height: 360px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieM5cgzSFwmhmlp_FWQlCO9voBeXmmwe_9uFG8u_rp4yCNrp7NA_vtk3g6phLR1irekCnl-bjDRrTznrjfk1lZiBObbhJqbuCWSBl5c30jRGsKpO8oiFO-PbsH5jpoQ1FcMo5tA24zZ_4/s400/lohan+fornaria.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359631980354570802" border="0" /></a>Some new shots of Lindsay Lohan's ad campaign for European fashion label Fornaria have just been released, and let me just say...they're amazewack!

We had been planning the trip for months, so we were on the far end of excited, easy to say. Bruno, a fashion obsessed, overly flamboyant and equally overly dressed gay fashion journalist from Austria, makes his way from the top of the fashion world (in any German country that doesn't speak German, as he himself puts it), to the slums of LA, as he configures new ways to become famous.<br /><br />The movie itself isn't as good as Borat. The character itself lacks the thing that Borat had- the ability to make his audience route for him and be on his side. Bruno on the other hand, comes off as pompous, arrogant, overly narcissistic and shallow, and socially offensive to say the least. Does the film really do justice for the fashion industry<span style="font-style: italic;"> or</span> the gay community? Probably not. He miraculously makes both appear snide and unhealthy, but that could have very well been the point. It paints the picture of homosexuality to be that of sexually corrupt, vulgar-infused and self-loathing. It makes the fashion industry appear to far-from-reality, over the top, and equally self-loathing.<br /><br />But is the entertainment factor there? Absolutely. The film comes off as more scripted than Borat, and knowing that most of the people in the film <span style="font-style: italic;">know</span> it's Sacha in character, really takes away from the value. It does have its funny moments however. I've never seen ignorance and pure irrationality come off as so glamorous. And to be honest, any movie that displays an air-simulated blow job and rim-fest to a member of Mili Vanili, well, I'm all for it.Mountains of Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02125685470898525818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865953729343045661.post-88459683804430614702009-07-08T22:17:00.004-04:002009-07-08T22:18:53.515-04:00I Want These!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmUDd8pNXFZU84A4YB47YvAGZtGwNLgzZFauHYbfp2ac1Qbki3TRFZvBofSGBBWyZvCzn7ZEvZG-gDKcI7K4yB9jeNMTjTQ8r45GerUMn8pLPQiTi3IEgk1WzfFXtmKhlDmgCfzRAi32Y/s1600-h/12.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 264px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmUDd8pNXFZU84A4YB47YvAGZtGwNLgzZFauHYbfp2ac1Qbki3TRFZvBofSGBBWyZvCzn7ZEvZG-gDKcI7K4yB9jeNMTjTQ8r45GerUMn8pLPQiTi3IEgk1WzfFXtmKhlDmgCfzRAi32Y/s400/12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356279082685611314" border="0" /></a>Kelly Osbourne's Chanel suspenders are my current love.

I have to say this has been my favorite Dior collection in a good two or three seasons. For Gaultier, this season was all about blending the concrete epicentric standards in which Dior is so known for, with the newer, more modernly risque look of avante garde lingerie. The cross-mixing of the iconic<span style="font-style: italic;"> New Look</span> with a La Perla esque touch, came off brilliantly, in what seemed to be an effortless , not to mention seamless undertaking. High waistlines, fantastic solids and belted looks all complimented the newer, more radical color scheme, often which was an array of limes and neons. I absolutely positively loved this showing. It's Dior at it's finest-and its freshest.Mountains of Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02125685470898525818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865953729343045661.post-40194503773145242612009-07-06T19:00:00.002-04:002009-07-06T19:05:12.615-04:00Excitement on the HorizonSo. I'm getting some fantastic pieces coming in for myself over the next couple of weeks. Shirts, bags, belts, shoes and more. They're for the Fall semester (at least that's the excuse I'm using), and I can't wait to show them off. I'm gonna post pics when I receive all my stuff from the array of designers, including <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">LV, Fendi and YSL</span></span>- just to name a few. I took the task of<span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" > maxing out</span> my credit card just for the occasion- something I've never done before, but will certainly pay it off come July 30th (After all, paying the minimum and leaving a running balance is so <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >un-chic</span>).

Marc Jacobs has released a fantastic video which seamlessly blends high fashion with high ambitions of space travel, interviewing and beautifully capturing some of Aerospace's pioneers.
