some SPARKLE please!!!

wow, 2 posts back to back, both inspired by SATC 2.
Personally, it's truly a great Inspiring movie, in terms of the Message, presentation, character developement, and of course the Fashion! prefered this over the debut. this time round, Pat really stepped it up a couple of Notches! Majorly ramped up the Glamour.

SPARKLES! SPARKLES!! SPARKLES!!!

with Carrie's point-of-view about marriage and the obvious concurrent theme in the wardrobe.
co-incidently, i was at Borders getting some magazines, and saw this cover of Riri in Balmian! got really excited and pumped! grabbed it in a heartbeat thinking that it's gonna be a great issue.but to my amazement, Riri's style in her spread didn't tally with what we see on the cover. Joe..what's going on? and there's no editorial spread or feature about Balmain or sparkly mini's or how to wear the 80's revival for 2010. The cover was a great looking Bluff! i was utterly disappointed. but, thank God, SATC 2 was so good that i got over It!

the 2010 version of Dorothry's sparkly ruby slippers walking down the yellow brick road.

just Loved Tim Gunn's comment during this scene! LOL...

dress by Matthew Williamson, with Major styling & minor revamping by the genius Pat Field!

a very Sparkly Fab 4 in 4 distinct individual style, in one of the most Fun scene in SATC history. Hands Down!

{ TRUE COLOURS } shining through.

Quoting Cyndi - I see your true colors shining through

I see your true colors and that's why I love you

so don't be afraid to let them show your true colors

True Colors are beautiful like a rainbow!in my opinion, one of the most Inspiring Beauty shots as a group in the history of ANTM!

Avant garde, strong concept/message, Simplicity,

most importantly Exquisitely Beautifull!

Bitten by Grace Jones!

Grace Jones (born May 19, 1948)is a Jamaican-American singer, model, and actress.

Long before Lady Gaga and Rihanna appear and make it big in the Visual+Music scene,

STYLE ICON Grace Jones was doing her Thang...

and had a strong impact on today's fashion and music industry...Unquestionable!!

Italian VOGUE have been putting out editorial speard after spread that is so evidently inspired by Grace Jones, here demonstrated by Rihanna and Supermodel, Chanel Iman.

Well cant really put the blame on them, She is Just SO INSPIRING! (even she's 62 y.o. ,now Gaga beat that?!)

and did i mention that She's a long-time MUSE to Mr. Andy Warhol who photographed her extensively?!

The 80's Redifined

BeWitched by The Queen!

Katherine Mathilda "Tilda" Swinton, a British actress known for both arthouse and mainstream films. She won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Michael Clayton..

But, personally, her memorable and stand out roles would definitely be her potrayal of Jadis, the White Witch in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and the Angel Gabriel in Constantine.

Co-incidently, both movies came out in the same year, and both roles have a very strong look and a very memorable image.

The editorial spread embodies the same spirit, Regal and very Haute Couture yet have a hint of darkness and sinisterness and therefore solidifies Tilda as an Avant Garde Icon. Brillant!
