Grace Jones is revered by the fashion world, where as everyone else only knows her as Strange' in Boomerang. She is one of the girls greatest models and till this day no other model has matched her physique. (She is built like a phat boote' mannequin"). 
The British fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead at his London home at the age of 40.
His body was discovered at his property in Green Street, in the West End, shortly after 10am today. Paramedics were called but he was pronounced dead at the scene. A postmortem has been scheduled but police said his death was not being treated as suspicious. They would not comment on reports he had killed himself.
A spokeswoman for McQueen said: "Mr McQueen was found dead this morning at his home. We're devastated and I hope you understand that out of respect to his family and his colleagues we're not going to be making any further statement."
The death comes days before the start of London fashion week and a month before the designer was to unveil his new collection at Paris fashion week.

I've always been a fan of Regalia and Royalty inspired clothing. And McQueen has always delivered that. Below are some of my Favorite Alexander Mcqueen pieces between 2007 and 2010. It's definitely sad to see some one go at the Peak of their success.
I dont really read or watch regular world news anymore (unless it's a trending topic). All That now comes second to fashion news. Because of my ongoing attention it is rather easy for me to spot what some one is wearing from a SS2010 collection.

Yesterday, Haiti was hit with a 7.0-magnitude earthquake (followed by a series of strong aftershocks) that spawned complete, utter chaos and destruction upon the country.....needless to say, the death toll is outstandingly high. Buildings collapsed on top of each other...including schools, hospitals, and the embassy. Many dead bodies were found under the rubble. However, you can hear many people yelling and crying for help as they are trapped under the fallen structures. The worst hit was an impoverished area called Port-Au-Prince. Haiti was already aware of their poorly constructed buildings so, of course, it was nearly impossible to withstand a heavy-hitting natural disaster such as this. Obama is already sending troops and prayers out to help with the devastation....along with surrounding countries. Countries such as Spain and the Dominican Republic were also hit with the earthquake but none suffered superabundant damages like Haiti. Disaster relief organizations are mobilizing to aid Haiti - and are asking or help. Funds are needed to provide enough safe water, temporary shelter and vital medical supplies.
UNICEF and Save the Children already have emergency teams in Haiti, and the Red Cross has released $200,000 in disaster funds.

If you wear your shoes, yellowing of the soles can’t be avoided. So, you are going to have to accept that you are NOT going to be wearing these shoes. Now some of you guys are probably thinking: “I just paid $175 for these Space Jams, I am wearing them!”. As a collector, I personally like to buy multiple pairs of my holy grails. In this case, I wear one pair and keep the other pair on ice. But not all of us can afford more than one pair so lets discuss best ways of keep you soles icy as long as possible.
So finally, here is a way to slow down the yellowing process…
1. Take the paper out the box. The paper contains a dye that turns the soles yellow and age your sneakers. The issue with paper is that it’s slightly acidic, you can buy 100% non acidic paper but its expensive.
2. Buy some silica gel packets and put them in your shoe box. Silica gel is most commonly encountered in everyday life as beads packed in a vapor-permeable plastic. They are used to control humidity and absorb moisture in order to avoid spoilage or degradation of goods. However, we would not suggest putting more than (4) small packs or (1) large pack in a single shoe box.
3. Sea Glow by Island Girl. Sea Glow is for all the folks out there that are victims of yellowing soles. It actually decreases the yellowing. Here are some words from the creator:
As the inventor of Sea Glow, I thought you all might be interested in how it works, how it should be used, and the precautions you should take. Visitislandgirlproducts.com to order Sea Glow. Yellowing on the surface of white or clear synthetic rubber is due to surface oxidation and staining, and will be removed by Sea Glow or Island Girl Pink. However, yellowing that goes down deep into the sole is mainly due to the natural slightly yellow color of the rubber that, when new, is corrected by a flourescent “optical brightener”, which eventually stops working and HAS to be activated by the small amount in UV in regular daylight. By soaking down into the rubber, the highly flourescent additives in Sea Glow will neutralize the yellowness, but only in the presence of sunlight. Once this has happened, the rubber will stay this way as long as it sees daylight every few days (sort of like a

I hate to see a girl in high school that doesn't know how to wear heels. but I think they got this lil bitch started tooo early!
Now at first when I saw this I thought it was a one time dress up thing, like when little girls wear the plastic Beauty & the Beast heels, but NO, this chick goes out on the regular with heels and dresses.
One pic shows the kid wearing a pair of open toe heels about an inch high, while clutching a cup from Starbucks.
Experts are of the opinion that wearing heels at a small age can be damaging to the child’s physical growth.
“A common side effect of adults wearing heels too often is the tightening or shortening of the Achilles tendon,” Fox News quoted New York podiatrist Dr. Oliver Zong, as saying.
He added: “At Suri’s age, children are growing quickly, and you want everything growing at the same rate. If the tendon is not growing at the same rate as everything else, it could become a problem.
“If a parent allows their child to wear the heels in moderation, that’s one thing, but who’s to say what is moderate for a three year old child.
“With an adult, [high] heels that don’t fit properly can lead to hammer toes or bunions, but an adult’s growth plate is closed. With a child that young, her growth plate is still open, so a pair of heels that is too tight could damage the growing bones of her feet.
“A child’s proper growth could face serious problems if a growth plate is crushed.” (ANI)
