Your Weekly Madonna – Madonna’s Elle UK Cover May 2008

Just in case you missed it – Madonna has got herself another magazine cover – Elle UK features her Madgesty photographed by Tom Munro.

Just one happy news – there’s no sign of those boots! Finally! The other news is the cover comes with an interview in which she gracefully describes her draconic life regime (with 3 hours work outs per day, among other details).

Pregnant women find unknown resources for practical inspiration. Sara Berman, young designer and expecting young mother spawned a very interesting fashion project.

Now I don’t see as the most outstanding creation since it’s expensive enough to target a certain customer, and that kind of client isn’t drawn by the idea of wearing the same outfit (especially a special occasion outfit) more than once.

“We don’t have time to go to the dry cleaners every time we wear something, so we wanted to design a dress that was high-end but that you can take off and pop in the washing machine easily.”

Then again, maybe that’s just my point of view and $3,000 is a price worth paying if the dress lasts and lasts, even so, how many social events can you take wearing the same outfit (we’re talking here about an empire-line dress, floor-length, layered and ruffled at the shoulders and descending into an oversized corsage)?

There’s nothing wrong with living your childhood dreams, is it? I came across some strange-shaped houses today, and the some of the funniest were the shoe-houses.

I have four of them, but only three stories because one of them was made for a public park, so it’s not really a house by itself.

The Haines Shoe House from Pennsylvania was built by Colonel Mahlon N. Haines self proclaimed “Shoe Wizard”, owner of a 40 retail shoe stores in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

This is another celebrity wearing a tent dress when pregnant. There’s gotta be related to all that weight pressure given their overexposed persons.

Or was it that floor-length tent dresses were highly in this summer and I haven’t noticed? My inner-dress girl tells me it’s all perfect when wearing this kind of outfit especially when pregnant, and that it should be written in every pregnant dress-code so it will lift up the wardrobe stress for the nine months to come.

Every time I go check the pregnant section, I find some weird-looking clothes, half of them meant to make a woman feel like a sack of potatoes, half of them inappropriate for every day use. A pregnant woman’s closet shouldn’t be any different than a non-pregnant one. Everything just as before, only in one-two sizes bigger.

In the same time, this reminds me of a nasty remark overheard in a discussion between two young women – “nooo, I won’t wear that baby-doll-ish dress/top – it makes me look pregnant!”.

Is there something wrong with being pregnant? Or it’s something wrong with looking pregnant but not actually being? What was your expecting-wardrobe?

Have you got what it takes to style your business up to incredible heights? Her Madgesty has done brilliantly for herself this time!

Preparing a half-century birthday, she’s rocking her Most Successful Female Recording Artist in History title with steady hands and clear vision. She managed to make millions from her upcoming album still off the racks! Corporate giants tune into Madonna’s ray of light to promote their products, hoping her Madgesty’s money grace will fall down upon them.

Far from being a delicate average model figure, Agyness Deyn is keeping everyone busy. Either with loving her or hating her.

And because Kate Moss needed an heiress, here she comes in the androgynous person of one so-called Agyness Deyn (actually, from what I heard, the nickname (if it really is one) comes from her mother who’s done some numerology mumbo jumbo and composed this lucky-charm name to bring her daughter success and good luck in her career). Truth or again another marketed legend, Agyness appeared or has been pulled on the scene to stay. I-D is giving her no less than 6 different covers adorned with “ICON”, like it’s meant to bring yet another shade of controversy to the Agyness theme.

Looking for the next face of Britain, as the photo shoot’s style says. I looked at Agyness and believed she was an ungroomed product of the catwalk, an untamed kid in search for fun. When looking around for other’s opinions, I realized she’s not so beloved after all, that she’d be more marketed than La Moss herself. I usually trust my instincts but when I’m in lack of information I keep a reserve on things – Agyness is still in that reserve-area. What about you? Have you got your own mind made about miss Deyn?

I’m not a jewelry person, I said it and will again. That doesn’t stop me from being amazed when I see what’s becoming of the jewelry world drawer.

Like imagination is bound to gemstones and precious materials, and there’s where good taste ends (not in every case, even here I talked about the most expensive and in the same time the ugliest jewelry-watch), the undercurrent of jewelry, aside from the bling-breeze, is something of an edgy punkness I cannot even begin to understand before being appalled by it.

Not long ago, Victoria’s Secret was landing the sexy factor for a more feminine approach of their collections.

When reading those lines, I realized there was not so much sexy behind VS so I made a silent promise to bring you what I considered to be really interesting from that point of view in the lingerie world. Well, today I came across something.. let’s say…subversive. I can’t call it art, I’d just go directly for the unpractical, unwearable, unreasonable. Do you sincerely find a purpose for these lingerie items?
