Take my hand... take my whole life, too.

currently listening to: Elvis Presley - "Can't Help Falling in Love" - random fact: I just found out it was actually his birthday yesterday, so Happy what-would-have-been 75th Birthday, Mr. Presley!!!



Well so much for new year's resolutions, eh? 2010 has gotten off to a bad blogging start. Oh well. Better late than never, I suppose.

Here's some newness for ya.

FASHION SOUNDTRACK - when the worlds of fashion and music join forces - 1

who: various musicians

what: "Already Famous" fashion spread shot by Steven Meisel, and featuring supermodel Sasha Pivovarova (I'm pretty sure I misspelled that).
where: Vogue magazine, January 2010

Mika:

MGMT:

Chester French:

The Horrors:

The Horrors, again:

Plenty of other fun pics and other musicians featured in the magazine. I enjoyed this spread quite a bit, but the only complaint I have is that the clothes on the guys themselves aren't actually listed anywhere, (unless I'm blind?). I only saw listings/details for Sasha's outfits.

Kinda retarded if you ask me, but whatever.


In other fashion-related news: I love the documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor. I learned that Mister Valentino has mansions all over the world: Italy, France, Sweden, and a swanky apartment in NYC.

When I'm rich and famous like him I'd like to have mansions/villas/retreats/whatever in Spain and France, maybe Australia or New Zealand (*winks at Bonoir and Katie*) and a nice place somewhere in Japan (mandatory Hello Kitty home decor everywhere you look, of course)... oh and Finland! I want to be neighbors with Ville Valo in Helsinki! (Not too much to ask, is it?)

But yes, my favourite scene is one in which Valentino grabs Karl Lagerfeld by the hand all schoolgirl-y and cutesy and exclaims "come here! I want to show you something!" and they both run off to stare at mannequins wearing Valentino's creations.

I'm telling you. It's adorable.
