Lil' Blonde Darling: Bobbie Brown!

Blonde Beauty Icon Bobbie Brown

Since I've recently been on a kick of dressing like a 1990 rock video skank, I thought why not feature Bobbie Brown! She was definitely the most fabulous! An actress and model, Bobbie got her start in the Miss Teen USA beauty pageant and later appeared on Star Search, winning a record breaking 13 times!! She is best remembered as a heavy metal groupie and video hoe, appearing in such classics as Warrant's "Cherry Pie" and Great White's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy". She dated everyone from Nelson's Matthew Nelson, Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Jay Gordon from Orgy, and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee! In 1991 she married Warrent's lead singer Jani Lane, but alas....it ended after two years. She is currently working on writing a memoir called Serial Rock Dater: Sex, Drugs, and Cherry Pie...can't wait to curl up with that one!

Glamour Choice: Fishnet Stockings!


Nothing screams glaMOUR (or skank) like a pair of fishnet stockings! The use of stockings as a fashion accessory became popular during the 1920's, as the hemline in women's dresses rose up to show off the legs. The introduction of miniskirts during the swinging 60's made pantyhose a fashion necessity, a trend that continued well into the 1980's. The exact origin of fishnet stockings is unclear but they have always been associated with sex: burlesque dancers, strippers, showgirls, prostitutes....and of course they are the perfect glaMOUR choice for any girl brave enough to wear them!

Professional Fishnet by Capezio®

By far the BEST option on the market, Capezio brand fishnets are a showgirl staple! Unlike fishnets of the Halloween store variety, these are designed to be durable during extended professional use by Broadway dancers. They are made from a blend of 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex, which gives them an almost rubberized feeling. I purchased my first pair in 1993 during my Rocky Horror heyday and they lasted me well over 10 years!! They are THAT GOOD! Even if you do manage to snag them, the hole will not run! They come in a variety of colors and with or without seams. They also feature a built-in foot liner which gives added comfort. Make sure you buy the Professional series and NOT the Studio Basics series.

Stella McCartney Spring 2011 Presentation!


This Tuesday I was invited to attend a presentation of Stella McCartney's Spring 2011 fashion collection in the West Village. Her PR people saw me in Paper Magazine and were nice enough to invite me! Oh the glaMOUR! The presentation was held at Gavin Brown's Enterprise gallery and spared no expense on yummy hors d'oeuvres and unlimited booze! Known for only using Vegan materials, Stella's collection was soft, romantic and sophisticated....so to go against the grain I decided to wear leather shoes and dress like a 1990 rock video skank! Hey, it's ME! There were a bevy of blonde celeb sightings including the likes of Gweneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts and Kate Hudson. All in all a great event! Fashion!


A gorgeous day for a fashion party.

Champs sweetie, darling!

 Any collection that features nude patent leather (or in this case faux patent) footwear is OK by me!
