"LET THE (FASHION OLYMPIC) GAMES BEGIN!"


















THE WORLD'S GREATEST SPORTING EVENTS HAVE FINALLY BEGUN IN BEIJING BUT THOSE OF US ALREADY KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR CENTURIES; ESPECIALLY, WITH SOME OF OUR FAVORITE (FASHION) OLYMPIANS WHO KEEP GOING AND GOING AND GOING....!

THERE SEEMS TO BE NO END OR "BROOM STICK" TO SWEEP SOME OF THESE "OLD BAGS" OFF THE CATWALK!!! LET'S ADMIT IT - "WE LOVE THEM!" AND, RIGHTFULLY BECAUSE THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY REAL, GENUINE, NEW 'SUPERMODEL' ('BAGS') OUT THERE - LATELY (NOT SINCE THE SUPERS WERE "SUPERMODELS"!


TODAY, EVERY COW, GOAT, CHICKEN AND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD PEACH 'TART' IS A MODEL AND WORSE...THEY'VE LABELED THEMSELVES, "SUPERMODEL!"

VANITY HAS GOTTEN LOOSE!

NO WONDER FASHION IS IN A STATE OF MADNESS!

THIS COMES TO OUR POINT OF WHY WE HAVE TO NOW RESURRECT SOME OF THE DEAD 'SUPERS' TO INJECT SOME FUN INTO IT! EVEN IF IT MEANS INJECTING BOTOX AND EVERY GOD FORSEEN 'YOUTH FOUNTAIN' PORTION INTO SOME OLD WRINKLED FACE (OH, BY THE WAY, WE CAN DO IT WITHOUT ALL THAT WITH THE MAGIC OF TECHNOLOGY: 'CUT, PASTE & RETOUCH'!

SOMEONE NEEDS TO 'BAG' SOME OF THESE YOUNG COWS AND PUT THEM OUT TO PASTURE SO THEY CAN LEARN TO 'GRAZE' LIKE THE OLD COWS USED TO BEFORE THEY HIT THE RUNWAYS!

ANYWAY, HURRAH TO THE OLYMPICS! WE ARE HAPPY IT'S BACK!













Kate's Attempt at the 100m sprint in 2004

HERE ARE SOME OF OUR FAVORITE FASHION OLYMPIANS (NOT RANKED IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER) AND THE SPORTS WE'VE TAGGED THEM TO; THEY SURE DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE BUT LET'S NOT FORGET TO PUT THEM BACK OUT TO PASTURES WHERE THEY CAN RETIRE IN PEACE AND TEACH THE YOUNG COWS A LESSON OR TWO!


CHRISTIE BRINKLEY (JAVELIN - SHE THROWED SOME DARTS & FLASHED PEARLY WHITES WHILE THINKING "I'VE GOT TO KEEP MY 'COVER GIRL' IMAGE UP, JUST KEEP SMILING - EVERYBODY LOVES ME, AMERICA LOVES ME, I'M MISS AMERICA", AT HER RECENT DIVORCE TRIAL FROM FORMER HUSBAND.

LINDA EVANGELISTA (DECATHALON - WELL, SHE'S MASTERED EVERY EVENT IN (FASHION) SPORTS ESPECIALLY WITH HER MANY 'COATS' OF HAIR COLORS! NOTE TO SELF: OVER 2000 YEARS AGO THE BIBLE STORY OF JOSEPH'S MANY COAT OF COLORS WAS AND IS STILL QUITE FAMOUS TODAY: DID LINDA TAKE A PAGE FROM HIS STORY?)

NAOMI CAMPBELL (DISCUSS THROWER & MARATHON RUNNER - SHE JUST KEEPS GOING AND GOING AND ....! THANK GOD, SHE IS STILL RUNNING....'WE WONDER, WHERE TO...BUT BE CAREFUL, SHE IS THE RECORD HOLDER AS A DISCUSS THROWER; WATCH OUT!')

CARMEN (WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT EVENT SHE IS IN THIS YEAR! SHE'S BEEN IN EVERY OLYMPICS SINCE............LET'S JUST SAY, 'SHE IS A RECORD HOLDER'! SHE'S THE OLDESSSTTTTTT SUPERMODEL IN THE WORLD - MANY, MANY HAVE COME AND GONE BEFORE AND AFTER HER AND SHE IS STILL GOING; ALL THE OTHER SUPERS HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO TO CATCH UP WITH HER!)

KATE MOSS (GYMNAST - SHE BALANCES EVERY BEAM, RINGS, POLES, SHE GETS ON...AND OFF!)

ELLE MACPHERSON (HIGH JUMPER & HURDLER - WITH LEGS LIKE HERS WHO NEEDS TO COMPETE IN ANY EVENTS

OUR ALL TIME FAVORITE SUPERMODEL: MISS PIGGY! OINK! 'HAMMER THROWER': SHE HAS NOT AGED IN....BUT, LET'S NOT SAY ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY!

ANYWAY, WE WOULD LOVE TO ADD MORE BUT...NOT TO WORRY, YOU WILL SEE THEM CATWALKING TOMORROW NIGHT IN THE 'OPENING CEREMONY' OR IN THE CROWD BUT, IF YOU MISS THEM, DON'T WORRY, YOU WILL SEE THEM SOON ON A CATWALK NEAR YOU...EVEN IN TEACNECK, NEW JERSEY!

STAY TUNED AND STAY BLESSED!

Two Interesting Articles

As seen in "The Sunday Times" of London

hmm Interesting... :)

WHERE HAVE ALL THE REAL MEN GONE?

















I know. Saving the males is an unlikely vocation for a 21st-century woman. Most men don’t know they need saving; most women consider the idea absurd. When I tell my women friends that I want to save the males, they look at me as if noticing for the first time that I am insane. Then they say something like: “Are you out of your mind? This is still a male-dominated world. It’s women who need saving. Screw the men!” CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING


ARE BIG BREAST ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL?









It's official. The summer of 2008 is all about cleavage. There hasn't been a heat wave, flood or hurricane, Big Brother is boring, Glastonbury didn't rock any boats and England weren't at Euro 2008. So, the nation has filled the hole left by the absence of a single galvanising event with an awful lot of tit talk. CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING

WHAT'S THE SKINNY?


June 14, 2008- THE NEW YORK POST

WRITTEN BY: RICHARD JOHNSON

MODEL WORLD'S THIN ON IDEAS

THE fashion industry paid big lip service this week to the idea of stopping young models from starving themselves into skinniness - but the designers couldn't come up with any steps that would actually change their sick taste for sickly thin mannequins.

The Council of Fashion Designers of America held an event dubbed "The Beauty of Health: How the Fashion Industry Can Make a Difference" at Milk Studios the other night as part of its awareness program.

Since holding its first health symposium last year, the CFDA has sent letters to designers, agents and stylists reminding them of the importance of health.

IN THE NEWS- CONGRESSMAN'S DESIRE FOR MODELS

New York Congressman Anthony Weiner is hoping to pass a bill that would open up 1,000 new visa slots for foreign models.









June 12, 2008 -- NY POST

By: JENNIFER FERMINO

Seems Anthony Weiner is working hard to increase his dating pool.

The New York Democratic congressman, who has wooed a bevy of beauties from the Big Apple to the Beltway, is pushing a bill that would open up 1,000 new visa slots - for models.

"Anytime you can create jobs in New York, you've got to do it," said his spokesman, John Collins.

"The fashion industry is super-important in New York. It'll make it easier for costume artists, makeup artists and set designers to do shoots in New York."
