Just like a good aged whisky...

Certain things only get better with time. And that applies to people too. At least a few of us. Last Sunday I came across two very distinct ladies that despite their age were still confident with their own selves, and taught me that there are some things in life that will only come with time. The first lady was wearing a beautiful vintage safari style khaki jacket, and given her elegance, I assumed it was an YSL jacket. Well, I was wrong as the jacket is Ralph Lauren. However I thought it was very precious when this lady turned to her granddaughter and explained the origins of the argyle print. ( I was wearing a heather gray v-neck argyle cashmere sweater). And later on the same day another lady, who was interested in buying a new necklace, was telling me on how all of her vintage jewelry from Bergdoff was set aside for her grandchildren. And she continues: "I know when the time comes for them to wear it they will have enough appreciation for it." ( In the video Coco Chanel giving an interview, circa 1970.)

Wonder woman!

One of my favorites models, Raquel Zimmermann, is going to have her face all over the place this fall. She is a boy and a girl for Jean Paul Gaultier, she is super sized for Victor & Rolf's EAU MEGA ( I love the name!) and she is a rocker for Gucci. All I have to say is: Raquel you better work!

Britney Spears out of Radar.

So many other interesting songs to be turned into a single/video, and Britney's record label chose "Radar"? Disappointing, not to mention the video is not even a bit creative. I expected more from Britney. Hasn't Madonna done the whole horse "thing" already? I just didn't like it.

loba

shakira's spanish version of the song "she wolf"

Loba is the word for she wolf in Spanish, and Portuguese as well. Although I like Shakira, there's still something about some of her English songs that makes it harder for you to understand. She Wolf, as an example, at times I have absolutely no clue what she is singing. So I decided to post the Spanish version of the song here. I love the black cutout body suit, and the dancing inside the cage is nice too. But the end is a bit...hmmm....disconnected with the rest of the video.
