The World Premiere of "Hancock"




Trey, Will, Jada, Willow and Jaden Smith

This family is absolutely adorable. Jada Smith looks stunning in this emerald Herve Leroux draped gown! She kind of have the lollipop head thing going on but I let her slide this time. I guess she wasn't going to let Charlize Theron steal the show. Will Smith on the other hand looks like a used car salesman in that hideous checkered suit! He was not as flirty with Charlize Theron since Jada was around because he knows Jada is from the hood and a beat down is not beneath her.




Charlize Theron

uhhhhh, I am a little underwhelm with this ensemble. Please do not get me wrong, she looks like a Grecian goddess in this white flowing Dior gown but my jaws are shut close instead of dropping to the floor. I can not get pass the flats on the red carpet for a movie premiere which in my opinion is never acceptable!




Tia Mowry

Now this is a red carpet moment! She looks gorgeous in this bronze ruffled strapless Ports 1961 dress. This diva gets it right every time.





LisaRaye Misick

She looks great in this turquoise dress but I hate the Frenchi from In Living Color hair!



Vivica Fox

She looks great in her black encrusted Gucci dress but she needs to slow down with the botox!




Queen Latifah

Are you kidding me? She looks like Pookie from the hood. Queen Latifah knows better than this, I almost had a stroke when I saw this hot mess !


Paris Fashion Week Fall 2008:Giorgio Armani Celebrities Front Row


Kerry Washington

She looks magnificent in this multi colored Armani Prive ensemble!



Helen Mirren

I want to be her when I grow up! Her chic silver textured Armani Prive jacket is brilliant.


Toni Braxton Sighting





Toni Braxton

She looks amazing in this black Herve Leger dress! I know recently she had health issues so I pray she is doing well.

"Mamma Mia" London Premiere





Merryl Streep

For once she looks great on the red carpet. This red belted Donna Karan dress is fabulous! She is one of the favorite actress but I don't know if I want to hear her singing in a movie, I don't think so!



Christine Baranski

She looks wonderful in this rose draped Gucci dress but the face is a whole another story!

Project Update 2: The Wine Box

OK, so I've secretly been on vacation the last week, with the blog auto-publishing. I'm back now and so rested and happy. So happy, indeed, that we finished the wine box, though there will continue to be tweaking for the foreseeable future.

We decided that the best way to attach it is with four individually tensioned bungee cords. We drilled holes in the box and passed the elastic cording through and tied a knot. It was that easy! It doesn't seem to move forward and back, but I'm in the process of testing how reliable that is. The hardware store didn't have the clip I wanted so this test is one of necessity. So far I've carried about twenty-five pounds in it. The steering gets a bit squirrely with that much weight up high, but that's to be expected. The box itself works great.

The best part is that I don't have to unload the box. I just unhook the bungees and carry the whole thing up my crazy stairs to the apartment. It couldn't be easier!

Update for Melissa: Here you can see a close-up of how it attaches. I covered the raw ends of the bungee with electrical tape so that's the black strips on the tan bungees.

Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture: Christian Dior Front Row



Eva Mendes
She looks amazing in this tangerine and fuchsia embellished Christian Dior frock. This is what I am talking about, fabulous colors for summer. I immensely love this look!




Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri
What the hell is going on with Janet? This look is not fabulous and beyond blah! It's Spring, I demand color. Jermaine is starting to look better than her!



Liv Tyler
Even though her Christian Dior dress is simply divine, I hate black in the summer! If it wasn't for her stunning Givenchy's cut-out booties this look would've been a snooze!



Claudia Schiffer
This gray Christian Dior dress is simply chic but she looks like a school teacher. I really never did see the sensation behind Claudia Schiffer, she always just looks okay to me!


Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2009 Accessories






Christian Dior always been a genius to me since the early 90's and especially when he took over the Christian Dior House. I am intrigued with his intricate silhouettes and he is known for his fantasy runway shows. I am anticipating seeing these stunning shoes and sculpture embellished hats on the red carpet.


Which Diva Wore It Better?

Kristin Cavallari and Jada Pinkett-Smith

Kristin Cavallari wore this fabulous metallic Monique Lhillier dress to the MuchMusic Awards show and Jada Pinkett-Smith wore hers to the Women In Film Lucy Awards. I love Jada Pinkett-Smith belt, chic clutch and Jada has a body of death so Jada Wins!

BET Awards 2008 Celebrity Billiards Tournament

Tichina Arnold
I loooove this look! This is the perfect summer casual chic outfit for any fabulous event. Her weave is always on point!



Eva Marcille
I can't get my eyes of her fabulous Gucci! It makes me want to burn all of mine Gucci bags...Just Fabulous!

Toccara Jones
She looks great! The size she is now is prefect for her.


Angie Stone

Why is she looking like some Memphis pimp? She had the nerves to say, her music is not selling because she is dark-skin. I am so tired of women using that ridiculous excuse. The most beautiful and talented women are gorgeous dark tones like Alek Wek, Iman, Gabrielle Union and India Arie to name a few. Angie Stone is extremely talented but the music business unfortunately is all about the image. Maybe if she can put down the fried chicken and get a stylist, her career will be a lot better!


Richard Prince "Continuation"-Private View

Shiem Yusuf and Aly MacGregor

These London girls are letting me have it! They look fabulous!

Best Diva Of The Week: Naomi Campbell





Naomi does what she does best and that is acting a fool and looking fabulous on the red carpet. She had me gasping for air in every ensemble this week! The white Dolce and Gabbana dress was my favorite because she is just glowing...Pure Perfection!
