Trend News #008 | The Botox Mom: Buys Her Daughter Botox Injections For Her Birthday Trend News #008 | The Botox Mom: Buys Her Daughter Botox Injections For Her Birthday

(Clearing my throat)….alright so listen….I am not yet a mother, but I have been sharpening my parental skills in preparation over the years. And I know for a mere fact that plastic surgery (unless stated for important health reasons) will not be given as a gift by and means to my teenage child. When I first got wind of parents buying their daughters breast implants – I thought to myself “Yup, the world is coming to an end”. Let’s be real…we live in a vain world! Where your looks pretty much rule over your intellect. And if anyone tells you otherwise…then they are straight up and down lying! But there are some mothers who don’t mind taking their daughters to the other end of the Botox bottle, and that would be Maggie King – who bought her daughter (Jodie) Botox injections to get rid of the natural wrinkles …

Trend Files #040 | One – Sided Shaved Head – Who Started The “Movement” First? Trend Files #040 | One – Sided Shaved Head – Who Started The “Movement” First?

Alright….I think we all know that this topic was going to resurface and cause much heavy debate. So it looks as though Cassie’s much talked about hair-style has found itself on yet another celebrity – LaLa Vasquez! Now I wasn’t really shocked….but what threw me for a loop is when Lala said via Twitter:
Cassie started the “MOVEMENT” i did the “LA LA REMIX”..lol..who will be next..? feels good to let go!!
(Double blank stare)….either Lala has really been out of the loop, or she really hasn’t paid close attention to the trend, Cassie wasn’t the first starlet to be seen in front of the camera’s with this one sided buzz cut. Kelis rocked her style from 2006-2007, Model Alice Dellal has been rocking her cut for a few years now, & Fashion Designer/Singer KESH did a series of cuts way before Cassie attempted her “kitchen-sink” look. And let’s be …

Trend Files# 039 | Alexander McQueen Pelle Leather Sandal Trend Files# 039 | Alexander McQueen Pelle Leather Sandal

There are those rare moments (especially given the current financial state), where you see something that totally captivates your senses. Whether it be cosmetics…straight  back to the common day fashionable accessory, where if you had it – you’d go all out and slap down a grip (plus the shake of the hip) on a pair of shoes. Yes..yes..I know the year of the splurge has killed itself (circa 2006)….and while we still forge ahead into watching the Dow play mind games – we can examine Lala Vasquez’s sense of style just for a moment.  MTV’s former VJ was spotted across the West Coast rocking steadily in a pair of Alexander McQueen Leather Sandals. You have to admit that these are interestingly provocative upon first glance….breaking way into a 4 3/4″ heel – I am still wondering who else aside from Rihanna & LaLa will be seen around town rocking these …

Trend News #007 | Amber Rose Inks A Deal With Ford Models Trend News #007 | Amber Rose Inks A Deal With Ford Models

Yeah…yeah…yeah! I know what some of you ladies are about to say. It goes a little something like this; (sucking of the teeth) “You know she got that deal ‘cause of Kanye!” – then again you could care less. But let it be known…I love me some Amber Rose! Not only does she bring a little more to the table (visually). But her sense of style is unique in it’s own way. Granted, the gossip blogs have thrown the Philly native under the bus as of late. But come on…can we entirely be mad at her? Shoot, thanks to Mr. West – this girl got to see half of the world in a span of months. More that what we can say about the rest of the population. I mean come on really…how many of us can say that we had Madonna grab our booties? Not too many! According …
