As most of you already know, I'm currently here in New York City. This beautiful winter scenery (view from my room at the Soho Grand hotel) is what greeted me earlier this morning when I woke up.

I apologize for the lack of updates. It's been a crazy week so far, especially with all the traveling, meetings, etc.

Expect more from me soon. Stay tuned!

HERITAGEMANIA continues...

Here's a photo of the "Junon" ball gown from Christian Dior in 1949...

... fast forward sixty one years later, here's a gown from John Galliano for Christian Dior haute couture spring/summer 2010.

The keyword for 2010 is... "HERITAGE"!

Have you seen this movie? Between you and me, I don't remember this film being shown at the theaters last year. 2009 went soo fast.

From the makers of Paris, Je T'aime comes this film called New York, I love You starring Bradley Cooper, Natalie Portman, Blake Lively, Shia LaBeouf, Ethan Hawk, Christina Ricci and more.

I'm a sucker for chick flicks (it's the only thing I watch, really) so I bought the DVD online. Can't wait to get it in the mail.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner... less than 3 weeks, I think. Funny how it falls during fashion week.

I need a date. If not, well, I'll probably just this movie in my room.

I'm sure you've heard of Rodarte's new menswear line (dubbed "BROdarte") that's currently being sold at Opening Ceremony. I'm a big fan of Kate and Laura Mulleavy's brilliant work but alas, the price points are, to put it quite simply, way too out of my reach. Unless I win the lottery, Rodarte's beautiful, hand-crafted sweaters at three thousand dollars apiece shall remain a fantasy to me.

Now here's something a little bit more real. If you want to give that knitted mohair sweater look a try, as previously sported by members of the Sex Pistols, today is your lucky day. I was browsing eBay and found these affordable mohair knits in different colour combinations. Each of these sweaters are forty five dollars a pop.

Quick public service announcement... I'm sure you've heard of the massive earthquake that hit Haiti yesterday. Thousands are feared dead and many, many people are left homeless.

I'm gonna cut this post short and encourage you my dearest and kindest readers to donate ANY amount to go to much-needed relief efforts.

Also, if you live in the USA, you may text YELE to 510 510 and donate $5 to go towards earthquake relief.

I'm donating a small amount. I hope you guys do, too.

That's all.

In light of V Magazine's "Plus-Size" issue, let me share to you this hysterical propaganda video released by the British Medical Association back in the 1960s. The voice-over is pure gold!

How times have changed. It's amusing what was "fat" back then is now considered average by today's standards.

Perhaps it's because we now live in the era of self-acceptance? You try to air that sort of militant shit on TV and I guarantee you blood will be shed.

Click click click for part 2 and 3 of these videos.

So. Anyone wanna chime in their thoughts?

Have you seen the latest Versace ad campaign by Mario Testino featuring the very handsome Simon Nessman...

... and the stunning Balenciaga ad campaign by Steven Meisel?

I can't wait to see these ads in print.

The fashion world is going through one big massive shake-up alright... but... are the fashion houses (and photographers) trying to make us turn our monthly glossies upside down and left to right?

Thoughts?

If you live in the US and still have some spare change left (are you drowning in sale overload like I am?), be sure to check out the sale at Topman. Topman rocks because it's one of the very few places where I, a teeny, tiny, petite, slim, lithe little person, can get menswear at amazing prices.

Meanwhile, don't fret if you live outside the USA. Click HERE for the international site.

I'd visit the sale NOW if I were you. There are tons of greedy, brutal and ruthless queens out there who are out for blood. The fight for XS sizes ain't pretty. 

You're welcome.

It's 3AM. I was supposed to go out earlier. While dressing up, I realized the trousers I wanted to wear are currently at the dry cleaners and won't be available till Monday. I spent half an hour trying to find bottoms for my top and I can't for the life of god find anything that matches it so I gave up, rang my friend and offered a rain check.

Now.

I'm currently doing a round of site hopping and I came across THIS touching story published at Martha Stewart Weddings magazine's 15th Anniversary issue. It's the first gay wedding featured in Big Mama Martha's mag.

I read the article, looked at the photos and I must admit, I felt a bit, just a wee bit jealous. Unlike other people,  jealousy is something I don't feel often. You know, oh wow, two guys totally in love each other and got th...
