hedkandi-love what you see

a couple of months back (back in the days of blonde) i was part of the new hedkandi campaign. jeremy and his team prepped me at the salon and we all went out to shoot on the c-train. this was probably the  most hilarious shoot i have done in a while, the people on the train kept watching all the commotion we were creating around us (i'm looking at you gerard :)), i even got some comments as to my supposed 'anorexia' (little did these girls know what a compliment that was, even if far from the truth). possibly the most entertaining was 'making out' with myself in the dirty train windows (i still feel there might be some diseases lurking around inside my body-note to self check it out during yearly exam) and seeing the bewilderment of the people waiting  on the platforms and leaving the train. i don't think there is possibly an appropriate thing to do in a situation like this. either way the shots finally came out and will be running for the next 3 months.

laetitia casta + the 60's = perfection

image that cat growling noise that actors make in cheesy comedies sometimes. that's what im doing when i see this photo

i have it all planned out

i have absolutely no desire to ever have a big wedding, once/if the day ever comes (i'd rather spend the money on things like clothes or shoes, or even magazines, just imagining how many super expensive subscriptions i could get for the money that people spend on weddings these days makes me drool and fantasise what kind of presents i will be requesting from people). i was browsing blogs today and i stumbled upon this photo. no big wedding = no fancy dress (which i am fine with, just another expense to contribute to an unecessary tab), until now i was thinking something ala carrie bradshaw in city hall wedding in sex and the city, but this is so much better. i think shopping for my wedding 'outfit' will be funner then shopping for a dress, just as long as i have my david yurman wedding band :P (ahem! ahem!)
my co-worker showed these to me. i felt inspired

jak and jil

tommy ton entered backstage of the men's john galliano show to share these photos on his blog, jak and jil. i am not usually a fan of men's fashion (with the exception of a boyfreind shirt and blazer here and there), and these photos are really not about fashion at all, it's all about the makeup, i love that there is no boundry between male and female and that the guys get to play characters as well. i would love to see what goes on in that mans' head, whatever it is, it's special, he should box it and start selling it, i think he'd make a fortune.

STOP!

holy shit these are amazing. i had to repost.
