Madonna doing dishes? Yeah ok.

Yeah. OK.

I'm fortunate enough to have a child old enough to do dishes, take out the garbage & etc. while I play dress up, get my hair and nails done and all the essential steps to stay this beautiful. Yeah...OK.

Dolce & Gabanna's new ad campaign features Madonna as a "traditional Italian woman" (decked out in D&G)

Yeah.
OK.

She looks amazing as usual and I love the vintage feel in these ads.

Not sure what I enjoyed more... seeing Madonnna doing dishes for Dolce or spread eagle for Louis...decisions, decisions

Breaking down the Fashion Challenge!

FOR EXAMPLE!



I found this image online a while ago but can't remember who the designer is but it's the perfect example of how to interpret the challenge.


You check out the picture (this month's a peacock), go to your closet, put on the first thing that jumps out at you, set up your tripod and take a picture! Simple as that.


Submit it to: win@cocolah.com



Please and Thank You!

I WILL DIE!




This is from the Givenchy Fall 09 Collection which is old news but this collection turned me into a fashion stalker.


According to Wikipedia; stalkers often threaten to harm themselves (i.e., suicide) to prompt a response of concern from their victims. Although I have repeatedly called the Givenchy headquarters with threats of harming myself I have yet to receive the full collection as requested. Accessories included please and thank you!

Have they no heart?

THE LUST FACTOR


For 2010 I have started a Vision Board which is a collage of images, pictures and affirmations of your dreams and desires. Vision boards are a great way to make you feel positive, and are helpful if you are using the laws of attraction. Believe me....I'm attracted to this Balmain Leather Cape...in a serious way.

I LUST IT and I can't control it!

LET'S PARTY LIKE IT'S 2009!

HAPPY NEW DECADE!!



Missing in Action




So here's the real deal. (Deep Breathes; Long Sighs)

About three weeks ago someone broke into the Cocolah headquarters. OK fine; my home and took basically all the essential tools I've used to build and maintain the business.

After a long week of extreme paranoia I've settled into what I'm calling a funk slump. A state of pissedoffness and unusual laziness. Can't seem to get my flow back but what I am getting is that unsettling feeling that something has to change drastically.

I feel some of my old bitchiness coming back after years of being in the zone of positivity, love, peace, light and all that good shit that has rubbed off on me from hanging in the holistic parts of Brooklyn. It's like I'm turning into the incredible hulk in slow motion.

For 2010 my aim is to merge my two selves and just be a sweet bitch to the best of my abilities.

I'm happy to say I finally got a new computer but still need the essential software to get down to business. Also, I'm hoping to soon build the same bond that I had with my beloved laptop. It's like a new lover who's good in bed but they just haven't gotten to know what gets you like the old lovah did. Takes time.

Also, I'll be offering all the discounts and sales I meant to offer for the Holidays so stay tuned for that!

BTW I have a killer new haircut and as soon as I get a new camera I'll bore you once again with pics and stories about little ol me, me, me. Which is actually quite popular around these parts.

Oh the downtime has also gotten me working out again with a passion so my body is taking shape and making me want me more and more everyday and giving me a wider range of the things I allow myself to wear for show and tell.  AY! I'm looking at this body as a business investment cus I figure it might help me replace all that was lost faster. By any means necessary to live the life you dream?

Pull up to my bumper baby!

Dream for a Living

I've loved Viktor & Rolf from the second I saw the DREAM ON coat on Naomi a few seasons ago. I was not only tickled but inspired.

They continue to push the envelope creating pieces that boggle the mind. Are they pieces of fashion, art or architecture?

When you're able to step outside of your mind's box and look at fashion as art you can appreciate how ultra fantastical these pieces are. I LOVE!

Cus if nothing else...I'm a dreamer!

It would be interesting to see a world where folks wore their heart on their sleeves and outfits were mini art projects. With no rules on right and wrong...Ok wait...I'm already starting to regret this fantasy...but moving forward nonetheless.

We've all been programmed to dress according to the rules of American society but what if we all created an avatar of ourselves and dressed in character sorta like a real life anime movie...oh wait...that's the kids in Japan. Scratch that.

SCAAAARRRRY!!!



On the other hand Viktor & Rolf's last collection...scary but in a good way.

Photobucket

It's amazing what the mind can create when you give it freedom of expression. That's what Cocolah.com is all about. Expressing yourself through fashion as art with individuality and confidence.

GROUP HUG!!!!

This Summer 2010 collection is out of a girl's twisted fantasy! Sorta like disney gone right. They're like giving you a nauseating, cavity inducing dose of SWEETS (like the amount that I ate on Halloween, ugh). Sorta like giving you wicked fairy princess in an upside down world where everything is in excess. Oh wait. We're living in it. Wicked Pretty or Pretty Wicked.

The silhouettes defy gravity. AMAZING!!!

Never put limits on your imagination. DREAM ON!

INSANE!

Let's Say Grace.....Amen.

TADA!!!


With all the androgynous, fetish, robotic warrior, retro-futurist fashion on the streets, runways and print I couldn't help but think of Zula from Conan the Barbarian. Grace Jones herself to be exact.

As the poster child for androgynous, fearless, female, sexual power she has inspired not only fashion, music but the arts. Andy Warhol painted her portrait and Keith Haring painted her body for a 1985 performance at Paradise Garage. Her influence is powerful but as silent as deadly. She's often overlooked as a musician but her style is undeniable. Her style is recognized by those who don't know her music.


Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Naomi and Amber Rose all women perceived as fearless, outspoken and dare I say BITCHes! as in WORK BIIIIIIIIIITCH (with index finger wagggin' 2 inches from your face) have been "showcased" to personify Grace in some way or the other.

Then we have everything Madonna has done, many of Janet's look, fetishes and antics, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and many others.

All pretending to be unapologetic. They're not doing it justice if you ask me...cus even now in her 60s Grace still puts a little fear in your heart. Cus she's that fierce.
