YOUTH & BEAUTY… Gracie

Last week, the editors of Vogue Magazine (all 19 editions) launched a Health Initiative ?to address issues such as booking models who are under the age of 16 or appear “unhealthy”. ?The wording is pretty vague and doesn’t contain any commitments that can be enforced, but in general it seems a very positive thing.?The fact… Read more »

NEW ROMANTIC? Leore Hayon

SMILE… Beck Trumbo

I wish D?a de los Muertos was in May? or maybe even June. ?And while a monster mouth is appropriate all year long, I find it particularly fun as a Spring/Summer look. ?It says, “Hey, just because the sun is shining doesn’t mean my inner goth has to stay hidden.” ?As demonstrated by my frequent… Read more »

(UN) NATURAL BEAUTY? Soo Joo

Meet Soo Joo. You’ll be seeing her again on this blog? I love blond Asian girls, in particular the kind that risk their long shining black hair to go aggressively platinum. ?It requires a certain je ne sais quoi or in plain English, balls. * Finishing touches… bleached brows and glossy black nails.
