Jewelry designer, Alexandra Chaney, made a series of necklaces for her master thesis (she’s still in school) that is based on things that ‘repel’ other people. I think the razors would actually attract Cholas who want to cut a b*itch up. They don’t need to hide the razors in their hair anymore… they’d just wear the necklace. The second photo , I believe, are syringes? That would totally attract smack addicts! It’s like a Christmas tree of endless needles. I totally think the cigarettes would actually attract Amy Winehouse. Actually, Amy Winehouse would buy this entire collection. Alexandra needs to get on her ass. So much for repelling!

jean paul gaultier,
vintage 
and OSH KOSH B’GOSH! Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2010 collection was a mix of ’corseted vintage glamour meets a chola(“My brows are dark, my lips are lined. Baby boy, I’m how a chola’s DEFINED! “ ) who wants to cut a b*tch’. Those satin overalls are kind of cool, though. I remember I used to wear those faded Guess overalls to high school on days when I had an exam or test. That front flap was perfect for hiding notes and a walkman! One day in History class I had to recite The Gettysburg Address by heart. Instead of memorizing it, I recorded it onto a Walkman(yeah, I’m ancient) at a slow speed so I could write it down during the test. So, some beeeotch in class ratted me out and so I had to say the address in front of the whole class while the tape was going in slooooow moootion. Hilarious! Luckily, the teacher was an old bat, so she just let it go and had a Werthers. Anyway, JPG can’t do wrong in my eyes! Two thumbs up!

awesome,
cool,
hats 
Le Tour de Force designs quirky hats and fascinators that would make even an ordinary face extraordinary. As you may know, I LOVE hats and even have a department store hat rack in my closet. The thing about these fantastic hats is that if you wear them on a regular day , say… grocery shopping or going to the post office , you know you’re going to get stares from the 2 year old that barely talks to the old lady with curlers still in her hair to the pissed off postal dude to the Chola cashier with an eyebrow ring to the hippie/beach bum who stinks like cheap wine standing behind you. There I just ran your average day at the post office and grocery store. Well, that’s my average day. Anyway, these hats are fabulous and I wish I was invited to more Galas and Balls just so I can wear these.
