Beauty and the Beast



LV has used everyone from Scarlett Johanssen, Uma Thurman, and J Lo. Keith Richards is their new boy. Supposedly the old crooner is both sellable to the young beautiful crowd and those older (but RICH) not so good looking folks...whatever will keep selling that luggage.

As for the Beauty, David Beckham...he could sell anything....I'm ready to go buy some of these Armani tightie whities.

Rainbow Rapture


Lately, I've become fixated on rainbow brights...shoes, clothes. Yesterday, I even gave into my desires and bought and old school Lite Bright from 1975. I can' t wait to play with it and plug it in at night. It will be my equivalent of a fireplace.

Some other fun rainbow delicacies:



Multicolored Snakeskin Chanel Bag on ebay $895


Top Shop Rainbow Sandals (of course they are already sold out)


Charlotte Ronson Multicolored Silk Bow Tie Top $172

a cheaper alternative to satisfy your rainbow craving:
