A new season of America's Next Top Model and another slew of girls that make you think, "What in the hell are they thinking??" when it comes to judging.
Although not a huge fan of the twins in the beginning, I have to admit that this twin, Michelle, took the best photo last week. She might win me over, but we will see.
According to New York Magazine, Jeffrey has been accused of cheating by outsourcing the sewing of his final collection -- an immediate disqualifying rule breaker. Although the findings of the investigation have yet to be revealed, wouldn't it be great to see Jeffrey get what he deserves after so disrespectful to Angela's mother?

It bothers me when I'm flipping through fashion rags or watching runway shows and so few models of color are used. Even when the designers themselves are of african, asian, latin or native descent, the models still tend to be mostly of european descent. I really want to change this. I'd love to start a decidedly high fashion magazine that provides an outlet for more models of color. Anyone interested in planning, creating and building the next style icon with me?
Something very much along the lines of Hint and ZooZoom.
I'm really feigning for a sweater dress this fall/winter. I've found several that I like, but I am on a shopping fast at the moment. But wouldn't these dresses look wonderful with black stilettos, my hair pinned up in a bun, tortoise shell reading glasses, steno notepad and #2 pencil? Very "Secretary". Or if you are feeling a bit more trendy (or fashionable, you call it) replace the black stilettos with leopard print platform stilettos and you are ready for the role of the vampy secretary -- one that I personally prefer.
