“Colour is black and white put together”

I present to you Diandra Forrest, the first albino model ever to be signed with Elite. I am mesmerized by her face, its allmost unreal.

"If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's ok. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot."

Here are some of the results of the testshoot for Brazilian Bodywear. I am loving the models...

I love you like a fat kid loves cake...

"I love you like a fat kid loves cake..

Love was just a word until you came along and gave it meaning.

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you, because feelings are the language of the soul and no man has been able to find a word good enough to describe this feeling I have for you.

I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

And maybe I am foolishly in love but if this isnt love then really what is love? "

The many faces of Chanel Iman...

Isnt she the cutest girl in the world? Love her face... Can you believe she is from 1989! Man Im getting old... *sigh*

Rihanna's ROCKSTAR video has been released! And I am loving it! especially after the 2.50 mark. check it and let me know what you think.

Remember Now

Some time ago Karl Lagerfeld premiered this short flick called remember now. And I must say, the clothing in this is fantabulous!

This is what I think is modern. It's like wearing a couture jacket with a pair of jeans.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character....

So you must have heard about the Vogue Paris spread of October 2009 where the model was painted brown. The point of the photographer was to show that one face, Lara Stone's face, could apply in a black girl, an arrabic girl, a hispanic girl and in a white girl. Now French Voque is being accused of racism.. hmmm.. what to think of that huh!

 I mean, there are so many beatifull brown skinned models only think about Chanel Iman ( mos def going to post her one time) Selita Ebanks, Alek Wek, Kiara Kabukuru, Noemie Lenoir, Oluchi Onweagba, Naima Mora... must I go on? So if they wanted a dark model, why not just book one in stead of painting a light girl brown.

Im not sure what to think about this. Im torn. Obviously the Lara Stone pictorial is gorgeous but I am not so sure about the message it brings. Lets hope Carine Roitfeld's  spread wasnt meant to provoke. But one thing is clear, it was a little insensetive..

Anyways, there are many thoughts on this subject and some people will see this spread as racist, others will see it as art. When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative. I just thought, lets post a brown girl painted white to compensate! So here we go, our beloved Tyra Banks painted white :) Or maybe thats of poor taste too?  :S  Aaah, what the heck, they both looks fantastic, black or white!

Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense....

Some time ago I wanted to do a "favorite model post" again but I never got around to it so lets do it today. In my eyes Lily Cole is one of the most beautiful girls in the world. She looks like a doll, its just crazy!

 AND she is known to date Jude Law ( my future husband lol, life is soo not fair :S) Lily has done anything from Voque to Numero to Moshino commercials to Chanel...  Dont you just love her angelic face!?

It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray. It is the mind that makes the body....

I was going to post some pictures of Gemma Ward an Lilly Cole, two of my favorite models when I stumbled upon this dark website by accident. It was a pro-ana website. I had never heard of such a thing, or saw something like it, and I was shocked.

Being raised in a mostly black and latin community I grew up believing womanly curves are sexy. Skinny girls were never populair or considered desirable in my neighborhood so this is, although I know of its existence, totally new to me, and it made quite an impression. It felt like I was entering some dark, secret world as I was reading forum posts from anorexic girls on how to suppress hunger and tips on how to loose weight.

I do think terrible disease is fueled by using super skinny girls in all fashionmagazines and commercials. Girls like Gemma Ward and Lilly cole. There are so many young, and insecure girls in the world who feel unpretty because of having to stand at the busstop next to a lifesize pictures of Victoria Beckhams and Nicole Richies. I would like to use this blog as a channel to your livingroom and maybe make you stop for a second and raise awareness for this cause, just as that website made me aware. If you suspect someone you know to have any form of an eating disorder please check out this website. It informs you on how to identify  eating disorders and gives tips on how to help approach someone who you feel is suffering from this disease. "Thinspiration" is not a fase!

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it...

Yesterday, while talking to a girl I recently met, I found myself talking about one of my favorite models Omyhara Mota. 

I first saw her crashing the party in the Jay-z Change clothes video which also features Noami Campbell and this other amazing model from whom I dont know the name, check her on the 2.21 mark. Do you know who this is??

 I havent posted many, maybe even any, pictures of my favorite models so I thought I might put up some pics for the Omahyra-lovers among us...

I love her style, so edgy and rough. In another blog somebody said that Omahyra Mota's look remembers her of the look Rihanna randomly adopted.. I kinda agree, I mean the short hair, the edgy "rocky" style... What do you think, did Rihanna ( Rihanna's stylist) copy the look from Omahyra?
