Comme des Garcons

Tell me what you think about this... uhh.. interesting... look they're going for?

American Apparel Opening Thrift Stores?



There are rumors that American Apparel will be opening thrift stores! The way they might start off is by adding some vintage pieces to existing American Apparel stores, and then they may branch out to a boutique of their own.

Exciting!!
Now... I'm interested to see the vintage pieces and the ads

Hope this rumor is true!

Update will be posted as soon as we find out.

New MATSOD Line up!!


Well guys there was a slight dry spell on things for the past 2 days but now I just got some crazy news. Maylene and the sons of disaster have lost 3 members stating "Due to the rigors of the road Lee Turner, Scott Collum and Josh Williams are no longer in the band. We remain good friends and wish them the best of luck and continued success. As for Maylene and the Sons of Disaster we are better than ever. We are excited to announce our new members: Chad Huff, Kelly Scott Nunn and Matt Clark. They have been long time friends of ours and some are former band-mates. You might know them from their work in Underoath, Further Seems Forever, Sleeping By the Riverside and Gods. Josh Cornutt remains in the band but being a newlywed he is currently at home spending time with his wife (and writing for our next record)."

This came out of left field for everyone and fans have had mixed reviews stating the new member's images not looking like the normally bearded southern rockers leading Dallas Taylor to state "If the only reason you like us is cause of an image then we are not the band for you. There is not going to be any change in our music it will just be better than ever. So all of you who have a problem with nikes, and guys with out beards all I can say is GROW UP! Music is not a image it is our lifestyle."


New tour dates have been posted for the band as well as their warped tour dates. They have also started some pre production work on their next album. I personally can't wait to see what the new guys bring to the table and the great live atmosphere that the band is known to put on. We will keep you posted.

Project Runway!

I am so disappointed that Chris didn't make it to fashion week. I honestly don't think Rami is as talented as the rest of the finalist. Well, at least my other favorite fierce guy made it. I knew he would!
Now... is it just me or is Jillian stealing Christians style?

I honestly can't wait to watch the finale!

Who do you think will win

Christian

Rami

Jillian

Project Runway!

Last nights episode was fierce.

I found this on youtube, enjoy!

The finale is almost here!!
Who do you think will win?

TEAM CHRISTIAN/CHRIS lol I love them both

Victoria's Secret




Isla Fisher is in process of making Confessions of a Shopaholic. While shooting for the movie she has been spotted with a black and white Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton bag.

Well... Victoria's Secret has a rip-off of this bag and it's the first from many more to come..

Kira Plastinina

The young girl, Kira, from Russia is opening stores in the Unites States. Her clothing line is awfully cute and are at a reasonable amount with the average price of 48 dollars. The line is targeted to girls and women from the ages of 15 to 25 (with some sense of fashion).

She plans to have a minimum of 50 U.S stores by the year of 2010. The first U.S. store opens in May the 2nd. Location: 594 Broadway between Houston and Prince Streets in SoHo. Two additional leases have been signed in Manhattan.

Look out for this talented 15 yea old! Did I forget to mention that!? Yes the young lady is 15 years of age and can easily afford all 50 stores. I mean her dad is like the Bill Gates of Russia.

New Year New Lead SIngers

2007 saw a large number of bands having new singers. Wether it was due to quitting for family time, to getting arrested, or even simply going in pursuit of a new job; 2008 is shaping up to be the year where we will get to see what the new singing talent brings to bands. Bury Your Dead Have a new album coming out on March 18 on Victory! records. So check them out.

Louis Vuitton's TV debut

I have mixed feelings about the Louis Vuitton commercial. It talks about discovering yourself and the journey of life. Well, I don't think you do any of that while splurging (about 2000 dollars) on a bag.

LOVE it or HATE it
