EMPLOYEE BULLENTIN:

VIBE MAGAZINE HAS FOLDED!
“...its with great sadness, and with heads held high, that we leave the building today...as the doors of VIBE Media Group close, on the eve of the magazine’s sixteenth anniversary, it’s a sad day for music, for hip hop in particular, and for the millions of readers and users who have loved and who continue to love the VIBE brand.”
-Danyel Smith Editor-in-Chief

CHINESE WHISPERS: Could Pierre Cardin be ready to sell his apparel and accessories licenses in China? Speculation is rife the 86-year-old designer is in talks to sell certain licenses in the populous nation, and is in talks with several potential suitors, including Jiangsheng Trading Company and Cardanro. Some Chinese press reports peg offers at 200 million euros, or $281 million. A spokesman for Cardin declined all comment Monday. Pierre Cardin was one of the first Western fashion houses to enter China in 1978, when the country opened up to the West.-WWD

Adina Howard thought her "T-shirt and Panties" was enough to woo a guy...and you too probably fell victim to that tragic way of thinking . Why not take off that football t and those vicky secretion undies and slip into pure silk decadence. If your man isnt moved by this...thats a problem not even I can solve. Or could I?

(GAG)A


Lady Gaga (or as I like to simply call Gaga) has joined the bandwagon of recording artist who shamelessly push merchandise to make a couple of extra duckets. However, unlike the Hannah Montanas of the world, Gaga's online store isnt ridiculous. The site offers apparel, accessories and other random shit only a Gaga enthusiast would gag over. I managed to not completely rash up and my mind stood clear of any flashbacks to the days of NKOTB (New Kids on the Block) towel sets and toothbrushes. My favorite piece of merch: $10 Ray-Ban Wayfarer-esque sunglasses stamped with the Gaga logo

In Office Tea...

J's-Lo: It seems the U.S. market is over Jennifer Lopez's attempts at fashion. After a string of attempts at restructuring, her Sweetface contemporary brand is on hiatus -- meaning there will be no more apparel bearing Lopez's name in the states.

Pay Gap: Glenn Murphy, chairman and chief executive officer at Gap Inc. His total compensation for 2008 was roughly 9.3 million dollars. The Breakdown: About $5.4 million of that was made up of a salary of $1.5 million, nonequity incentive compensation -- really, a bonus -- of $3 million and other compensation and perks valued at $834,434. I thought the Gap was near bankruptcy...SMFH?

Aint that a Brit?:Alexa Chung's wardrobe is now just a double-click away. After each daily broadcast of the Brit "It" girl's new MTV chat fest, "It's On With Alexa Chung," producers will post links on mtv.com to e-tailers where viewers can purchase the hostess' on-camera ensemble.

FUCK RENT...

Les Chiffoniers sequin-sprayed jacket, $755.00

This jacket screams! What it screams is strictly up to the wearer. Maybe Malik so Chic would appreciate this jacket? A 70's era Diana Ross? Liza Minelli? who knows its WERQ appropriate.

You Have to be seen in GREEN!

The Kaiser has done it again! Not since 2006's Black Satin nail polish has Chanel put out a nail colour that has beauty addicts gagging with glee. Slated for an October release, the color was first seen in March on the runway at the Couture Fall 2009 collection show. Not the typical nail color for fall, this splash of mint will no doubt cause wide-spread pandemonium at beauty counters around the world. [Sidebar: Girls in the hood have been rocking this color for years]

Keeping up with the hottest accessories these days can make your pockets resemble rabbit ears. Luckily there are some A-MA-ZING options for the female set. ShopNastyGal.com has a wide variety of product that is sure to bring some strain of D.O.A. You will gag over the accessories and the clothing options will instantly "bloomberg" your wardrobe. Shopping at H&M, Forever 21, and Claire's for accessories can prove a waste of time if you are going for items that don't scream: CHEAP do your self a favor and check out the site. Below are my favorites from the site:

Sexual Harassment

(New York, New York)---There are ten guys in the fashion industry that manage to raise an eyebrow of intrigue (amongst other things) for me. I am not one to stan out over a guy, let alone show overt interest; but given the opportunity to make a move on the following, hesitation would be an after thought. While many on my list are spoken for, a boy can definitely covet the goods...and if Im lucky---be granted an eye fuck. In no particular order:

1. Wendell Lissimore
Red Model Management represents this sickenigly attractive male. Finally another option other than Tyson.

2.Tom Ford
Decadence, Luxury and Sex personified. Tom Ford has had my lust and admiration for years. From Gucci to his eponymous label his design voice has not changed. Any man who makes it clear that chest hair can be sexy gets my vote...
3.Richard Chai
The New York Based designer has seen success with his women's line and recently launched a menswear effort. Verdict: I'd be up for sipping his tea...hopefully its sweet.
4.Phillipe Blond
As one half of the design duo The Blonds, Phillipe is usually rocking one of his custom corsets, staggering Louboutins and blond tresses. But underneath all the feminine glamour lies a man with amazing bone structure and a killer ass lean body. I feel myself easing into a spiral of lust.
5.Mathias Lauridsen
This Male Model was once named the 2nd highest paid male model by Forbes Magazine. This Denmark born model has been the face of Gucci, Jil Sander, John Galliano and Valentino. Quite the CV...the scar does it for me alone :-)

6. Marc Jacobs
I have been O-D on Marc since his greaseball days. The stringy hair, thick rimmed glasses and pale skin honestly made my loins twitch. His Chelsea boy makeover threw me for a loop upon its introduction, but I have grown to dig his new look even more. The tats, the diamond earrings, the kilts...I'm down and definitely stanning.
7. Luigi Tadini
As a child I always had an infactuation with facial moles that succesfully enhanced ones features. Known on the New York social scene and as the newly named Menswear Market editor for PAPER MAGAZINE, Luigi's style is Cary Grant with heavy doses of modernity. I have seen him at a few parties and once at a PAX during fashion week.I tried to avoid staring---Boderline Overzealos Groupie---but when im intrigued...I can't help it.
8. Keegan Singh
The New York based stylist's work has been showcased on the pages of Vogue, V, V Man and Purple. But Singh's strikingly attractive appearence took the spotlight in the 2009 PAPER MAGAZINE Beautiful People Issue. His Hair is coiffed to perfection and he wears skinny jeans like no other. I am a sucker for this swatch of guy...to bad he is off the market.
9. Gabriel Aubry
Why go into details...the man's genes do all the talking. Fuck you Halle!
10. Alexander Wang
Those in my inner circle know I am a sucker for all things: TWINK. Needless to say Alexander Wang falls snuggly into that category...consequently making my list. Granted the general public might go ape shit over his effortless street sweet garments...I am stuck on his swag. Call it Yellow Fever, but this guy does it for me...and the fact that he loves Foxy Brown---Geez Im in Love.
