DKNY Draft Spring/Summer 2014 Ad Campaign Ft A$AP Rocky

 

DKNY drops their Spring/Summer 2014 campaign ad  in the heart of Times Square just in time for Super Bowl Weekend. Over the hit single "Fashion Killa" by A$AP Rocky who defiantly is featured in the commercial acting like a jiggy n**** . (Nice come up for a kid from Uptown.)  Even though the song was butchered for legal reasons to fit Donna Karens name in the lyrics ............... Who am I kidding "Butchered" it's so vocally noticeable you would of thought they went to Houston and DJ Screw  chopped & screwed it himself........ Moving along whats a concept of a real Fashion Killa without the super model "It Girls" Jourdan Dunn, Cara Delevingne and Eliza Cummings. Posing and pretending to play football. Priceless 

P.S. Your killing me softly with this one Donna  Excited for the comeback of DKNY.  Sincerely a 80s baby, raised in the 90s.

    

DKNY DRAFT 

We should of been together having 4 seasons brunch

This weekend was the annual Roc Nation Pre-Grammy Brunch for the 56th Grammy Awards. This years was a Jay Z and MAC Cosmetics collaboration that helped by donating funds to the MAC Viva Glam AIDS Foundation.  

Anybody who was anybody was in the place to be, from A-list rappers,actors, singers, producers etc...... Oh yeah you can't forget about the wanna be rappers/dope boys, Instagram thirst trappers, gold diggers who were on their best behavior acting like they were classy and cordially invited but posting their VIP wrist bands on Instagram (Thot moves) .........trust me you have to pay at least  $3k and up to get in these type of parties just sit around and mingle. I was invited to "pay" to  get into a P.Diddy's Grammy weekend party in LA. Child please, I stayed in Brooklyn and watched the Grammys on my own TV and went to the club afterwards ladies free all night type of move. 

Anyways the weird thing was Beyonce was no where to be found. I guess her work is really important to her, I'm sure she was busy practicing since her and Hov were opening the Grammys that next day, who knows.  But the person who stood out amongst the crowd  was @Badgalriri who was looking flawless,stylish and pleasant. 

The View is amazing

"Looking for this chic named Blac Chyna"

If you don't know her well let me introduce you, Blac Chyna is a native of Washington DC, you may recognize her for being Nicki Minaj Stunt Double, Kim Kardashian new BFF and besides her being known as one of the top dancers at King of diamonds Gentlemens club in Miami. She's often recognized for her slayed hairstyles from the Gods and dramatic faux eyelashes. Blac Chyna has recently given birth to a adorable son named King Cairo by rapper Tyga of Cash Money Millionaires. 

I have to give it to Blac Chyna she has really reinvented herself by leaving the adult entertainment life behind by becoming a great mom, staying on her grind by becoming a business women and owner of a new beauty bar and salon on Ventura Blvd in Los Angeles called "Lashed Bar". Not only did she launch a new product line of dramatic faux lashes for a reasonable price. She also hooked up with talented makeup artists Angel Merino and Brittany Duet for 101 makeup classes in her salon. Talk about a come up. Im all about women being independent and entrepreneurs. That to me defines Hustle and Glam. S/O to Blac Chyna. 

Who me ???

Im at work bored so I get on my phone as usual to go Instagram. I look at my mentions, and was blown away, when I realized I have been featured in a column of a blog called the "Who's Who of Social Media" along with other great creative artist in the fashion and entertainment industry by Sabine of www.yoursabine.com. After all these years of hard work and trying to make it in this industry, its great to be recognized. I was very excited, but the hustle and glam doesn't stop right here, I have along way to go and many projects to execute to reach my goals. You never know who's watching and admiring your skills, hard work never goes unnoticed. Its just great to have a platform for creative artist of all sorts to be recognize for our work. S/O to www.yoursabine.com 

American Hustle

When it comes to Hustle thats me that should be my middle name. I work hard as a freelance makeup artist, to get my name and work out there. Sometimes I feel like "Money Making Mitch" from the movie "Paid in Full" I get a rush out of that shit....... But any way I just want to set the record straight the word "Hustle" does not mean selling drugs. Its just unfortunate that  some rappers just gave the word a bad rep, but to me the defintion of "Hustle" is using different strategies, talents or great multi-tasking skills to make money. Thats why I had to see what this movie was about, Starring the talented Jennifer Lawrence, Christian Bale,Jeremy Renner, my beau Bradley Cooper who also stars in this movie and where ever he goes, I go, you feel me. But one person who I absolutley adored ..... was Amy Adams character Sydney Prosser from very classy and clever attitude to her amazing sense of fashion she had me at the thrift store the next day trying to recreate her style, every outfit she had on in this movie she killed it. I dont want to tell you the rest but its a great movie iDirected by David O. Russell and the  winner of 3 Golden Globes including best picture, please check it out.

 

Riri Fans be like ............

Riri does it again not only did she slay the cover of the MAC ad campaign, but she launched her latest collection from MAC Viva Glam that had chicks all over the nation starving on their lunch break because this lipstick was more important than their stomachs growling like a grizzly bear, this collection had us anxious and glued to our computer screens to make this valuable purchase, the frosty blue-red lipstick and tinted lipglass can be worn with or without lipstick and 100% of each purchase made will be donated to people living with HIV/AIDS. So not only are you beautiful on the outside but your beautiful on the inside because your giving back to people in need.

Definition of Dupe

On this blog your going to see this word "Dupe" a lot. What does this word mean ?.......Well lets go back to the school of Hardknocks real quick. 

Basicly Im going to save us some money on some replica beauty products. "Whatever it is I'm your girl" 

"Cause she a Fashion Killa and I'm a Trendy N****

True Colors - Vibrant and Bold hues of Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange and Greens are the color trends for spring and summer 2014. Just think 90s era Hip Hop in Harlem or episodes of "A Different World" bold. Cant wait to see the fashion trends to  these colors good and ugly lol.

Eliza Cummings, A$AP Rocky, Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn and Dylan Rieder for DKNY

Lady Ga Ga is that you ?

Lady Ga Ga has so many different looks,costumes,hats,characters,mask,face paints.....that I just don't know what she looks like..... I honestly thought this was a younger photo shopped Donatella Versace at first glance, but anyways she defiantly has my vote for looking stunning,sleek and sexy in this Spring 2014 Versace ad campaign.
