I haven't blogged in so long it could be shameful, but hey, it's been a rough year. I promise to come back and post more stuff, after all, April is coming and with it my birthday, yay! I just received an early birthday present in the form of an image:
Jean Paul Gaultier recently presented his Spring/Summer Couture collection in Paris and proved once again why he is the enfant terrible dela mode. He said he based it on Mexican folklore and Avatar, which -surprisingly enough- works! Starting with the movie Apocalypto (I know, I know. Mel Gibson is a dick but whatever) and taking off from there to Pandora. The collection began with modernized, "couturized," versions of the charro outfit (a charro is a traditional horseman from Mexico) in denim, then the revolution, exotic Mexican flora, then we're in Pandora (notice the little reference to the Pandorans with the blue stockings on look 22), came back to Mexico ready for a cultural renaissance and ended with La Catrina singing "Cucurrucucú paloma." All in all, it was quite a spectacle and everything couture is supposed to be: artistic, intricate, beautiful, and it showed why Gaultier is the master of his trade. And to think it began with mariachis playing int the background...
And the accessories are equally stunning:
These are made out of leather -yes leather- which shows what level of craftsmanship this man
can achieve.
The shoes? Gorgeous
Makeup? Brilliant work by Tom Pecheux. It was very colorful and reminiscent of the flora in Avatar.
And here are some closeup shots of the hats, bracelets, and that beautiful ombre basket weaving:
I tried to get as many images as I could that reflected the Mexican side of the collection, being that I am Mexican and can see the references (Mexican revolution, Dia de los muertos, Artisanal basket weaving, Blue agave, the Aztecs, Mariachi, Zarapes), and so far this is what I've found:
Okay, my eyes just had an orgasm and need a cigarette break...
So today I finished Bayonetta and it was awesome. The whole ending credits were just as good as any chapter of the game: Bayonetta dancing to some pop songs, Bayonetta fighting Jeanne (who by the way is just as cool as Bayonetta and you get to play her for a while), and at the end you see Bayonetta pole dancing -yes, pole dancing- to a very beautiful song that somewhat fits in with the whole theme of the game. That song is "Fly Me To The Moon" sung by Brenda Lee. It still amazes me how they fit such a calm song in a videogame as violent and fast as Bayonetta. Anyway, here's the magnificient end:
I recently saw this picture of Marilyn Monroe and I think it is quite beautiful. I don't know, it may be the femininity or the innocence that is exuded by this iconic woman. Old Hollywood was so much better than the new celebrity-obsessed Hollywood.
“My father is Abraham Lincoln. I mean, I think of Lincoln as my father. He was wise and kind and good. He is my ideal, Lincoln. I love him.”
I have been so lazy lately... not much work and school starts next week (thank God, I miss using my brain!), stayed home all week watching TV and playing Bayonetta (btw, I got a PS3. So worth the money! I can watch online videos on my TV!). This videogame is sick! The only downside of this purchase is that I can't buy anything in the following 4 months (gotta pay those credit card bills), but when I'm done I'll go back to the good ol' compulsive buyer that I am! This is my next target:
I am obsessed with Prada, they're in my opinion the most artistic fashion house, and this is travel bag is just beautiful. I want it so bad, I could buy it now and pay it later, but I hate owing anyone anything, so I need to pay my bills first and then buy it, but I will :)
How ignorant can people be? Let's find out! (12/30/09) [View | Hide]
A very dear friend of mine sent me a link to an article she considered offensive and that I would be interested in reading because it dealt with homosexuality and the Golden Girls (my favorite TV show). Instead of being offended I am just surprised at how ignorant some people can be. That and the fact that it is quite obvious this website is a fake, hahaha!
I would be pissed after reading this, but the arguments this "journalist" makes have no foundations. He is basically bashing homosexuals for the sake of it, having no reasonable argument to connect homosexuality with the Golden Girls. I am living proof that this is ludicrous: I was introduced to the show when I was 18 (far older than those "lonely" boys in the article), I have never felt awkward around girls (it's actually the opposite: I feel awkward with men, completely secure with women), I am not a sex-crazed leather fiend (this is when I started to laugh), and I for sure am not going to grope someone's son at Sears (God forbid the day I step a foot inside such an unfashionable place again!) or try to peek into your fitting room while you try a bathing suit (seriously?).
PS: Oh, and I do not have a "shit-zu" (not making this "shit" up, he spelled it that way) and the thought of "robot sex" scares me (too rusty for my taste).
This just comes to prove there will always be ignorant bigots who will try to find a way to make us (happy homos) feel miserable because their lives are a horrid mess, and will only feel better by putting someone else down, but that just does not work, I've read worse, and I am far above it...
School had me so damn busy I had no time to make new posts :( (I'm surprised I even had time to shower, hehe), but this is about to change! This is the first of many posts I will be making in the upcoming week, so hang with me!
I recently received an email response from Gilmore form Pretty on the Outside -a blog that I read all the time and love- thanking me for the comment I left on his post about stunning gowns and telling me he liked the story about the bar I posted earlier in the month, which let me know that SOMEONE at least has read my blog!!! OMG, this is no longer a pointless thing!!! YAY!!!
Go check out his blog (http://prettyontheoutside.typepad.com), it's pretty awesome and his drawings are super cool!!!
BTW, another reason to celebrate: I just got a new job at a certain clothing retailer that specializes in Americana sportswear, my favorite, so I'm in an utter state of unrelenting joy!!!
Sell the Vatican! Feed the world! (10/15/09) [View | Hide]
Sarah Silverman is AWESOME!!!
"The bottom line is this: if you sell the Vatican, and you take that money, and you use it to feed every single human being on the planet, you will get c-razy pussy, all the pussy..."
Seriously??? I'm a graphic design student, so this is utterly offensive to me. The type, the shadows, the type, the colors, the type, the poorly placed words, the MOTHERFUCKING TYPE!!!
Maybe these fishes from the Prada s/s 09 show, which scream primitive yet sophisticated. But where would I put them? Aha!!! The lower left area on the back of my neck (behind the ear), where it's visible but concealed...
Sleeping 3 hours a day is not good at all. School and work are killing me, ugh... Oh well, what can be done? I love going to school, my classes are awesome, and although I'm not a big fan of my boss I've made great friends with the rest of my coworkers. To treat myself for all the hard work I've been doing I gifted myself this (sans the "R"):
If I don't give myself the things I want, who the hell will, right?
I've been hating on the wrong person (9/13/09) [View | Hide]
Beyonce was the woman of the night. After such a kind and gracious gesture she deserves my admiration. That's all...
Seriously, Kanye West is the biggest asshole in America. I was not watching the VMA's because of True Blood (heck, I'll stop whatever I'm doing at the moment to watch True Blood, which, by the way, was AMAZING!!!), but I read my friends' statuses on Facebook, and they all said something negative about Kanye, so there I am on YouTube looking up the video of that horrendous thing he did, and after watching it I wanted to kill him. I WANT HIS BLOOD!!! How can someone be such a douchebag to Taylor Swift, I mean, look at her
Kanye needs a reality check, he probably think's his shit don't stink, but America can smell it, and we did.
PS: Whoever had to sit behind Lady Gaga must have been like "oh shit," and Pink's performance was AMAZING!!! I wanted to see a real performer. Well, there she is...
I'm easier than online traffic school (9/13/09) [View | Hide]
Last night I went out with my friends to celebrate my friend's birthday, which was on Tuesday, and since I got promoted on Friday I felt the need to celebrate not only her birthday but also my promotion. We went to this place in Bowery where they have tapas and unlimited mojitos, sangria, and beer from 10 to 12.
I made an ass out of myself...
My love for mojitos/beer/sangria + unlimited ammounts of these drinks = Nothing anyone would be proud of :(
I got soooo drunk fucking NYC was spinning around my head, I spilled beer on my friend's sister, talked shit on the street, slept over at a friend's apartment only to wake up some hours later feeling like shit, and found a $5 bill in my pants and a $1 in my shirt, which I don't know where they came from because I stopped using cash more than a year ago... what the hell happened last night?
So today I decided to start a new blog because the old one did not work well (I was vacationing out of the country for 2 months :D), so starting a new one now not only seemed reasonable but feasible as well. And to start this blog on a right note I can only post my most recent purchase:
I am Natasha Obsessed!!! She's my favorite model, she's gorgeous, she's an icon. No scans, go buy it (the price is well over $20, but if you love Natasha Poly you have to have this), she's a goddess...
x-men is my all time favorite haha my bf got me the 90s xmen cartoon on dvd but hasnt given it to me yet, i want it so bad haha, pretty sure im going to watch them all in one night
lol no problem dude sorry about that yeah i have to change up my profile add a new video perhaps even a new about me section more pictures you know the whole works and since i am on winter recess from college it should get accomplished... hopefully
yeah, i imagine that's pretty tough for you. it was hard for me to move when i was younger and that was in the same metroplex! moving to a different country must be crazy.
so you moved from mexico alone? scary stuff. and i know exactly what you're talking about. one of my good friends is from d.f. and she was the same way. she had a summer house and shit. then she moved here and it's like culture shock.
hah, is that because the definitions of rep. and dem. are different or because you are in a different socio-economic class in the states? so you moved here against your will?
