Wanna Minaj?

Like my title? ha ha funny right? Anyway I've been working on finals and I have a dance performance coming up so I've been busy. Also I thought I'd give you guys a break from Va fashion week! Of course I have more photos on Va fashion week and Videos but I was gonna give you a break! The post today is on Nicki Minaj. I like her I like some of her songs well most of them I just wish she wasn't so well how can I put this nasty..but she's actually not that bad I think she seems like a nice person too considering that I don't know her! Anyways I love watching Wendy Williams and apparently she was on her show recently and this is what she wore I can't believe that I missed it I always watch Wendy and the one time i miss it Nicki minaj is up there! People are saying that it looks like she's imitating Lady Gaga...Uh mm no! Heck no. I love Gaga and I don't think Nicki minaj is trying to be like her wearing this at all. Nicki minaj I'm confused about this outfit! I would probably take bits and pieces of the whole outfit but wearing like that the way you did no I'm sorry lol. I think she has good style though just not here. Anyway can you guys take this poll on whether or not you want another post on Va fashion week!!? Thanks :D

Also doesnt Rihanna look gorgeous!

Virginia Fashion Week Post 2

Now onto others Krystal Vaquerano is the next one I will post on. The peacock dresses were amazing especially the mermaid one it was deff one of my favorites! I love the flower dress too, not to mention the black dress that was short in the front and long in the back so pretty. I saw on her facebook that she has more floral prints you guys should check her out too.






Here is another designer this guy actually won the emerging designer contest out of all the designers im showing you. His name is Shaune Buhain Lumaban.
He goes to my school and is majoring in fashion just like me. His designs are amazing, he drew the sketches and came up with the idea and he got a seamstress to help him make it. The lady that comes out first and last is a model known in my state. She is only 55 years old doesn't she look amazing her name is Jeanette Cooke-Dabney but you can call her Ms. Cookie!? Also the girl that walks out with the dress on thats second won the catwalk competition she was amazing and so was his other model enjoy. :)





Lastly the Video excuse all the noise we were excited when he came out everyone went wild :D

Giles Spring 2011 and Veruschka

I love Veruschka I totally agree with what she said. Which was
"Veruschka believes she was a gimmick and that designers no longer have the skills to dress women who are not children with bodies that look like ironing boards.
‘I didn’t like the make-up in the show, and didn’t think much of the dress. Now we are using the old ones, make them look great and show their power as well as their age." Veruschka is 71 years old and she was the last one in the runway show. I'm not very fond of the collection myself I didn't really like it and the make up wasn't that good either. Why would they give her that dress to wear!? Are they making a mockery of her? She believes they were I agree with her. Although she is gorgeous that dress was not the best for her!  She also says ‘'In the Sixties, fashion was about liberation. It was about setting women free; it wasn’t about being unable to walk.’'
Here she is in the show and here she was back in her earlier days in the 60s.

Glow!

So Apparently Sephora and OPI have teamed up together to create a new nail color and guess what!? It glows in the dark! How cool! I totally want it! Its called "Full Moon" its $4.99 ! I usually don't buy nail polish that costs this much but I would splurge on glow in the dark nail polish! lol :D
More good news! A professor at the University of South Carolina thinks that Lady Gaga's sense of fashion should be studied. Which could go hand in hand with art im guessing and also her fame! Anyway they say the class will be taught as a sociology course entitled " Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame." Matthieu Deflem the teacher is quite a Gaga fan him self and owns over 300 of her records! How lucky are these kids that get to take the class!? I bet some of you think its ridiculous, but to us big fans this would be like heaven! :D
