Jo Calderone, aka, Lady GaGa in the VMA 2011

I told you before didnt I?

That am madly in love with this woman

Yes I love love love Lady GaGa,

To me she is a fashion muse,a true artist,  an amazing singer, a fierce sex kitten and an amazing woman

I am always amused by her looks,

But this time I was beyond amused,

In thsi year's MTV VMA Lady GaGa came dressed as a man, she came dressed as her altered male ego, whom she calls Jo Calderone


She came dressed in a  plain white tee, a blazer and dress pants, she explainedto the crowd why it was a he, not a she, who appeared before them.


"Lady GaGa, she left me," Joe started. "She said it always starts out good but..For example, she gets out of the bed, puts on heels, she goes into the bathroom, I hear the water go on, she comes out of the bathroom, dripping wet and she's still got the heels on."


She rambled on, "What's with the hair? At first it was sexy. Now I'm just confused." She added, "She said I'm just like the last one. I'm not like the last one"

And then he/she jumped on the piano and started performing "You and I"






and yeah he tried to kiss Britney, but she was like been there, done that :P


During the red carpet pre-show, Lady Gaga was announced to be the winner of Best Video with a Message for “Born this Way”. “I'm really proud of the 'Born This Way' video, and for it to be nominated is an absolute honor.” she earlier told MTV News


I personally ADORE the song,
it does hold a great message and being dressed this way, lady gaga really shows us that she know and believes in what sings

Listen to the song on this link with the lyrics ( that is just incase somehow someway for some reason you still didnt hear the song :P )



I just love this bridge of the song:

DON'T BE A DRAG, JUST BE A QUEEN
WHETHER YOU'RE BROKE OR EVERGREEN
YOU'RE BLACK, WHITE, BEIGE, CHOLA DESCENT
YOU'RE LEBANESE, YOU'RE ORIENT
WHETHER LIFE'S DISABILITIES
LEFT YOU OUTCAST, BULLIED, OR TEASED
REJOICE AND LOVE YOURSELF TODAY
'CAUSE BABY YOU WERE
born this WAY

NO MATTER GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BI,
LESBIAN, TRANSGENDERED LIFE
I'M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY
I WAS
born TO SURVIVE
NO MATTER BLACK, WHITE OR BEIGE
CHOLA OR ORIENT MADE
I'M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY
I WAS
born TO BE BRAVE
XOXO

Kim K's Wedding!

Yeah Its been a while since Kim K tied the knots
 but since my last post was about brides who dress up more like drag queens rather than brides, I have decided to share photos of Kim's wedding look which I consider to be just perfect.

Her make up was amazing, the dress by Vera Wang was the type of dress I would wear to my wedding and what I loved the most was her diamond head band

This is what weddings should be like, please no drag queens for me, am allergic to that..







Amazing makeup right?
Do you like it?

I want to share with you a link of a make up tutorial video done by one of my fave beauty bloggers: Huda Kattan,
in this link she shows us how to apply makeup just like the one Kim had on in her wedding
Her blog is amazing, lots of beauty tips

This is the link



This is her with Kim K's wedding make up:

Wedding FIASCO!

Am feelin a bit un-easy about Ramdhan ending

and it has a lot to do with this being a holy month, but it also has to do with trying to avoid seeing certain "views"  once the month is over..

Well to be more clear, am avoiding seeing this type of "views"



and no am not attending a drag queen show, sadly I will be seeing these views in a certain type of celebration named "weddings"

If you are still confused, let me start by telling you a story

Once upon a time, in a place in this world, little girls as soon as they were born are all told one big secret

They are told that in their life time they will have one day in which they can be queens and princesses!

That that day they can do whatever they want and still be the star of the evening!

They are taught what to wear, how to act, what food to feed people, what color to decorate the walls, what give a aways to give the guests

Mind you- they arent taught anything about how to choose the right mm "creature" whom they will be sharing the rest of their lives with, afterall that doesnt matter, because it is all about THE BIG EVENT! hell they consider it a red carpet event!!

So NOW, since in their mind it is their day to be a "queen" and that it is a "red carpet event"
They have for some reason associated it with (and decided to look like) "drag queens" and a very very VERY sad and twisted version of "lady GaGA"

You know what am talking about..

am talking about this:








DRAG QUEENS POSING TO BE BRIDES!!!

And honestly ya raayt it was just about the makeup, now they are even dressing horriably! Them and their family and their inlaws and friends, its like one big FREAK SHOW!

They have that makeup on ^, and they are dressing in themes now..

There was a certain wedding milka where the bride dressed as a PEACOCK!



and there are weddings where you see 30-ish year old women dressed up as princesses *puke*


-fedait el dala3 ana bss-


and lets not forget the masquerade "wedding" balls, where the family and friends are walking around wearing masks, well atleast that way we wont see the horrific makeup


 

and then there are those who incoroprate feathers into their dress, and fur and bulbs and fruits and hell one even had wheels incoroprated into her dress to help move it!!

and the tight up held hair do-s, with zillion of pins and tons of hair spray and sparkly sparkly butterflies spread all over the head and the larger than life tiaras



Hell it is as if the queen of England have just marched into the building


And after having spent a fortune on all of this "freak show"

You will hear in a year time: mskeeeena zolekhaa, heya oo khalfan by6alqooo!!!

too bad, maybe if they spent more time getting to know each other, and less time travelling the world buying dresses for the wedding and clothes for the honeymoon, this wouldnt have happened

Fashion and Beauty Horrors!! Part 1

Well, yeah beauty is in the eye of the beholder and taste varies, oo el jamal howa jamal el roo7,and yada yada yada

But that applies to beauty that GOD has created, that I can't even dare to talk about or judge, because I truly believe every1 is pretty if they know how to work what god gave them

But when it comes to man-made fashion and man-made beauty, well, how can I say this, SWEETY AM GONNA TALK AND JUDGE ALL I WANT...

After all it is our eyes that are being harmed by some of those horrific trends!

You go ahead, you are free to wear what you want, and am free to make fun of it..Bleh!

So first up: Fashion horrors!


The Tight Abbayas



You know which abayas am talking about. The one so tight that you could see the girl's bra strip, (and am not even joking about that).

Yes once upon a time, they were in fashion, but that was so long ago I cant even remember when, I think I was still in school.

Anyhow those days are gone, tight abayas now are just plain cheap, the moment I see a girl wearing those one piece, body fit abayas I come up with the following conclusions:

1) She is cheap 2) She has no taste 3) She doesnt wear abayas and she has only this once since 9 years

Burn them, throw them, do anything with them but dont wear them!



The Hijabi Emo


Now I couldnt post a real photo of those, even though if I went to city center I will find tons of them, but you know I dont want to go to jail for posting their photos.

Anyhow I have notting against emos, infact I love the hair cuts and sometimes their sense of fashion, WHAT I DONT LIKE, is those fake wanna-be emos you see in the malls dressed up as if they are emos but wearing a shilla with that. YUCK, just YUCK!

See babe either lose the emo style or lose the shella, and having sad that y3ni akeed you should lose the style, it is just not working for you with the shella.


Miss Matchy-Matchy



Now those are VERY common.
You will be walking down the street minding your own bizz, and then BOOM, you are struck with a thunder of red color or orange color or blue color
Here it goes: the only thing that would be of another color is the abaya, being black ofcourse. Everything else is the same color in the god damn same shade!
Orange shella, orange lipstick, orange eye shadow, orange necklace(on top of the abaya, mind you) orange bracelet, orange nail polish, orange bag, and akeed orange shoes!

To those girls the concept of mix and match doesnt apply, all they do is match and match and then match a bit more and then match it all over, and itsnt even matching, because matching isnt wearing the same color in the same shade, I dont know wt it is called

Color blind perhaps?!


Circus Fashion


Ahhh my fave *heart, heart*
Those are the opposite of the matchy-matchy, those girls believe that they have to wear every color in the rainbow in the same outfit, even if those colors were at the end of the specturm and dont "match"

They also believe alot in "layering". They start with say a yellow full sleeves body, on top of that they will wear an orange vest, on top of that a different shade orange cardiagn. They team it up with skinny jeans, on top of it a yellowish patterned mini skirt, and some red warmers and brown boots and pink accessories and a green shella.

or something like that, you get the picture

You will probably catch her with a fake chanel bag and a fake kuwaiti accent aswell -yeah you know who they are-




That's it for know, behold for the next part of fashion and beauty horros
Until then, wear some shades and protect your eyes

Oh its you again..with the fake chanel..

Yeah we have been down this road before..

I had a whole post talking about fake bags, and well fake everything

But this same group of girls keep popping up everywhere, a specific girl I might say

I go to the cinema, she is there, and so is the fake chanel bag

I attend a lecture/ workshop ,she is there, and so is the fake chanel bag

I go to a coffe shop, and ohh yeah she is there, and AGAIN, so is the fake chanel bag

and what troubles me the most is the pride with which she carries the fake bag every single day!!

hell if it was real I wouldnt be carrying it that much, let alone fake..

So anyhow I just wanted to let her know, I got three bbms from three important people who have something they want to say to her:

First it was Karl Lagerfeld


And then CoCo the Clown



AND finally it was"the killer" from the Scary Movie sequel





So just to sum it up, here is the core of the messages:



Karl Lagerfeld wants to you to get rid of the fake bag, otherwise he will go on strike




CoCo the Clown
 is very angry, he demands you and your group of friends return the clothes you stole from him! He says that you shouldnt be using his circuis outfits in an attempt to dress up in arghh "kuwaiti-style" because seriously you are way off base! Please dont insult the kuwaitis with your pathetic attempts, so bring all the clothes back, yeah yeah including the high waist flare pants!


and finally


The killer from scream wants to marry you, yeah we know you are engaged, bss he is really keen!



و ما على الرسول الا البلاغ

I just had to be the messenger, so please sweetheart, ditch the bag, okay?!

Loving MAC Semi-Precious Collection

I just  LOVE bronze smokey eyes

They go well with everything, they give you a very natrual look

I hate applying green, purple, blue etc eye shadow

So I always wear bronze earthy colors

and am always searching for the perfect eye shadow range for the bronze smokey look

and LATELY am just loving the MAC semi precious collection


They are justt perfect, they blend easily and the colors are truly mesmerizing

I love using
Mineralize eye shadow in Smokey Ruby,
 
It looks pretty dark in the photo, but once you apply it, it really blends well and softens and gives you that great peachy-browny dark color.
 
For all of you who love bronze smokey eye look, do buy this product, I promise you, U WILL LOVE IT









XOXO
