Monday Mashup: Miley Takes Manhattan

By |October 15th, 2012|Celebrity Style, Monday Mashup, Why Did You Wear That?|

miley cyrus new york skirtOh, Miley.  You can take the girl out of the country… and put her in a cityscape printed skirt, I suppose.  Listen, I think it’s clear how much I love New York, but I don’t even own, dare I say, an I <3 NY t-shirt.  I appreciate her adoration of Gotham, but from what I can deduce from her outfit, she’s a big fan of Batman.  I mean, look at her bustier.  Tell me it doesn’t resemble the Batmobile.  Is she a walking diorama?  Is she acting out her own Batman sequel wherein she swoops in and saves our fair city?  And what would Lady Liberty say?  Bitch stole my look?

So is Miley’s skyline one you’d like to see?

Monday Mashup: Stating the Obvious

By |September 10th, 2012|Monday Mashup|

miley cyrus vmasAlright, let’s not beat around the bush.  I do realize the MTV Video Music Awards took place last Thursday, which coincidentally coincided with Fashion’s Night Out.  This left us all with the burden of choosing between one three ring circus and another.  I, myself, went ahead and took on Fashion’s Night Out in New York by visiting with Lauren Kaminsky and David Lerner at Beauty & Essex.  This, of course, means that I missed out on all the tomfoolery of VMA’s past.  But alas, I took a little bit of time perusing the red carpet photos and viewing some of the noteworthy performances via YouTube.  And while, there was the usual ridiculous attire of some, others –ahem, Rihanna– redeemed themselves.

And then I realized something.  We’ve all been wondering what exactly Miley was thinking when she lobbed off her locks a couple of weeks ago (or at least her bun and I have).  Well, I think we may have unearthed her inspiration.  Perhaps young Miley was channeling the queen of girls kicking ass, Pink and her platinum blonde bouffant.  The resemblance is kind of uncanny and it leaves me wondering what Pink thinks about her mini me.  More importantly, what do you think?

Monday Mashup: Splitting Hairs

By |August 27th, 2012|Monday Mashup|

cutting hair with scissorsThey say you should get a trim every 6-8 weeks depending on hairstyle and goals (If you are trying to grow out your locks, check out Lion Locs products).  Seems that some folks get a bit scissor happy when heading to a men and women haircuts in Franklin, TN.  Perhaps they’re bored, perhaps they’ve had a bad breakup.  Whatever the case may be, somehow a trim turns traumatic when a millimeter turns into a mile.  This week in celebrity hairstyles, we have a teen songstress and a lady loving crooner who both decided to change things up by chopping their locks.  So, I’m just wondering, when is a haircut a good thing and when does it all go terribly wrong?

john mayer hairMan about about town, John Mayer, who recently split from Katy Perry (I know… that was what? Ten minutes?), was seen this weekend with newly shorn hair.  Maybe John realized that Katy was simply dating him due to his hairy resemblance to ex, Russell Brand?  Regardless, I vote his fresh crop a “do.”  He’s creepy enough as is… the extra hair only added to his douchey demeanor.  But now that his hair is no longer there to distract me, we’re gonna need to talk about that necklace…

miley cyrus hairAnd the teen queen of side boob, Miley Cyrus, also got a bit snippy recently.  While she had been seen sporting a top knot almost daily (have you seen her bun’s Twitter account?), she must have taken the joke a bit too seriously and lobbed off her locks for a very short, very blonde Andy Warhol-esque look.  Just when I was starting to think she was adorable, she cut her hair and it looks horrible.

But who cares what I think (you better!)?  What do you think?

Snip, snip.

Monday Mashup: Welcome to the Darkside

By |April 2nd, 2012|Monday Mashup|

rihanna dyed hair blackRihanna’s hair is an ever evolving feature.  She’s gone long, short, dark, light.  And remember when she went red?  But why shouldn’t she have some fun with her hair.  She’s young, she’s creative, she’s got the best in the business fiddling with her follicles.  Well, she’s made another drastic change… except this one is a bit more traditional than you might expect from Riri.

On Saturday, she was blonde a la Goldie Hawn, but yesterday posted a pic of herself on Instagram with her hair back to black.  Personally, I love it.  I know it’s not as crazy as some of her other ‘do’s, but it much more flattering to her skin tone and really brings out her beautiful features.  Hey, blonde isn’t for everyone.  Isn’t that right, Sisqo?

What do you think?  Better blonde or brunette?

Monday Mashup: The More the Mara-ier

By |February 27th, 2012|Monday Mashup, Red Carpet Recap, Why Did You Wear That?|

oscars 2012 rooney mara kate maraRooney Mara in Givenchy and Kate Mara in Jack Guisso Couture

Two more of Hollywood’s leading ladies who deserve a little red carpet extra credit are the sisters Mara.  Kate Mara and little sis Rooney Mara both looked glam at last night’s Academy Awards, but I get the feeling if I hadn’t told you, you might not think them to be related… even distantly.  As Rooney has undergone quite the transformation from The Social Network to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, she appears to be her softer sister’s polar opposite.   Great granddaughters of founders of both the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers, it would seem to me that these siblings are familiar with a little friendly competition.  So, let’s put these DNA sharing darlings’ red carpet looks up to a vote.  Do you prefer the edgy modern look of Rooney or the romantic elegance of Kate?

Sister, sister.
