LADY GAGA LOOKED LIKE A WALKING-CURTAIN ON 2009 BRIT AWARDS
You are better than this GaGa!
So it's come to this.
After all the hype, promises and international outcry, fashion's still calling normal girls fat.
Coco Rocha is the latest victim of fashion's irresponsible, unattainable demand that young women - some barely into their teens - be emaciated.
The 21-year-old top model, an outspoken advocate for industry reform, told The New York Times that demand for her services has waned, thanks to an occasional hamburger habit.
Sunday, she modeled for Diane von Furstenberg. Monday, she walked in Zac Posen's show.
Look at the pictures.
She's a size 4 - and she's gorgeous.
Gemma Ward, an Australian who quit the business last year, got attention recently for chunked-up pictures (read: she's got thighs) that circulated online. One blogger suggested she could get work in the plus-size biz.
Compare these women with the models getting all the bookings - stick figures with jutting collarbones, thighs the size of their ankles and not a whisper of a womanly curve.
They're following in the footsteps of waifs like Kate Moss, who recently gave us her words of wisdom: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
It didn't feel good for Ana Carolina Reston, the 88-pound Brazilian who died in 2006 of complications from anorexia.
Don't feel sorry for the models: They live in a country where there's access to food, and are actively starving themselves to make money. They're making a choice.
Crystal Renn, a size-12 model who spent the early part of her career starving herself, says she was chasing a dream.
"No one chained me to a treadmill; no one forced me to starve," she told the Daily News. "I made those decisions to reach for the standards that were set for me."
Want to throw blame? Look straight at the people who are paying them.
Last week, the Council of Fashion Designers of America threw a symposium where designers, models and editors discussed raising the "sample size," the industry standard set for runway and magazine photo shoots, to a size 4.
Right now, it's a zero.
Designers and agents alike know that they're setting the bar for boniness - and that it's set pretty high.
Stunner Doutzen Kroes was at that panel and told The Associated Press she doesn't do shows because she doesn't fit into the sample size.
So she joined Victoria's Secret's brigade of sexy girls. "I eat and I am happy," she said. "I want a healthy lifestyle, and I hope other models can have choices like that."
Rocha spoke out at the event, too, saying, "It took a while to grow the confidence to say, 'This is who I am, take it or leave it.'"
And fashion, she has now revealed, decided to leave it.
Two years ago, at the first of these useless events, she admitted that when she was at her thinnest - just 108 pounds (she's 5-feet-10) - someone told her to lose weight.
So she did, and made herself ill with diuretic pills taken on an empty stomach. She vowed never to do it again - and made a plea then to the people present at the dog-and-pony show to make a change.
It was a cry for help.
And no one has listened.
Carey Mulligan is one of the cutest actress on earth. If you don't know her, she's the one who starred in a movie called "An Education". She stole everyone's heart by playing as a teenager and in fact she's not a teenager anymore (24 yo). The critic praised her and award shows nominated her. BAFTA, Golden Globe and now Oscars. Rumors said that she'll be playing on a remake of My Fair Lady.

And on red carpet, she's not dissapointing. The first time she stole everyone's heart when she wore this cutie floral-printed Thakoon dress. It's so cute and I can't resist that she's so beautiful.
Actually, I really noticed her when she wore this stunning Prada Fall 2009 gladiator-look dress. I'm a huge fan of Prada's presentation and I don't think that it'll work on her. But it damn worked so well!!!

Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper are joining forces as the dual faces of M.A.C. Cosmetics’ newest Viva Glam campaign: From Our Lips. Every cent of the $14 sale price of Viva Glam lipsticks and lipglasses bearing the pair’s respective signatures will help the M.A.C AIDS Fund, which has already raised over $150 million to fight the disease, to create model programs that address women living with HIV/AIDS. So why this dynamic duo? “We have one artist that hit the music industry at the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, and another that is explosively popular with young people today,” explains John Demsey, Group President, Estee Lauder Companies and Chairman, M·A·C AIDS Fund. And Lauper affirms that the charity hits close to home: “I lost a lot of dear friends to AIDS before we even knew what it was,” she says. “I’m not a politician. I am just a mom who happens to have the benefit of being famous and can bring attention to something that is wrong and needs to be righted.” For Lady Gaga, it’s all about bringing awareness to her fans. “This is an important message to relay to the younger generation,” she says. The lipsticks themselves don’t disappoint: Lauper describes hers as “A really fabulous red…and it’s called Cyndi. How cool is that?” While Gaga says, “My new Viva Glam lipstick colour is amazing. It’s a bluish pink, great for everyday. It’s a little bit ‘80s, which is very me.” Shop maccosmetics.com to get “Glam” and give back. And check out Lady Gaga and Cyndi below talking about their new roles on this morning’s Good Morning America. –Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester (people.com)
This is SHOCKING!!!British fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead after taking his own life.
The 40-year-old committed suicide just three years after his close friend, Isabella Blow - who plucked him from obscurity and helped him become a star - killed herself.
A source at McQueen’s office this afternoon confirmed his death, saying: ‘It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family.’
His death comes just days before the start of London Fashion Week and weeks before he was due to unveil his new collection at Paris Fashion Week on March 9.
So now I'm bringing you my favorite clothes by McQueen from his Spring 2001 collection...
