Pretty Good Jay-em: Deuces


This song is almost good enough to forget about that one time you beat up Rihanna did that unspeakable act of domestic violence. Not. Let's just say I won't be buying this song, but will for sure download it illegally. Say. Say. Bye. Bye.

It's like Judith Leiber for the next generation! Bravo!

P.s. I can kind of see your nips, but great purse!
It's been a long time since I've been into the LV monogram. It's so aggressively recaptured by knockoffs around the world that its almost lost some of its brand value. It's unfortunate because once the House of Louis Vuitton stood for glamour, intrigue, old money and of course world traveling - I can't think about LV without picturing their iconic duffle and even more iconic steamer trunks - but lately it's just stood for outdated and overly consumeristic tendencies of the pre-recession life we all once had.


I must say that I was recaptured by Mr. Jacobs with this LV ball bag. The tassel! The sparkles! The fun and whimsy of what fashion once was... I must admit that the Spring 2011 collection was not one of my favorites. Too gimmicky: too over the top Asian fusion, too much going on, etc. Especially in the wake of some much need minimalism on the runway the show overall just seemed off or at least too ill timed. But Marc Jacobs won me back when he sent this final look down the runway. While I could do without the body painted 'shirt' I cannot live without this purse. It's like Judith Leiber for the next generation! Bravo!
