imagine if you could accomplish even just 10 percent of what dame elizabeth taylor did in her lifetime? what a world this would be.

always a lady, always a humanitarian, always a talent= always an animal lover. young elizabeth traveling on the queen mary w/ her pup x

one of THE most iconic fashion moments of all time. every girl i know has rocked this look, including every a-list fashionista ala j.lo + madonna. hello dolce and gabbana anyone? she was SO ahead of her time on so many levels.

brains, beauty, + a real broad. wouldn't u want to marry her too?

To date, with Elizabeth’s help, amfAR and The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation have raised a combined total of over $270 million dollars. She was the first to talk about it even while presidents were still calling it a rare form of cancer.

I was lucky to meet Lady Elizabeth twice. The wheelchair couldn't contain her radiating good energy. Those violet eyes pierced right through you.

A true PISCES QUEEN she loved 2 laugh. RIP + THANK YOU LADY ELIZABETH x

oh my, oh hell yes, honey put on that party dress x

Pop Culture has been boring me. Haven't felt like blogging about anything. Hence no entry since February. It all looks the same.

They say never meet your heroes. Who ever they are, they are wrong. Met Julian Schnabel today. Um hello 'Basquiat,' 'Diving Bell and The Butterfly' anyone?

Well he inspired me and and as they say- the bitch is back.

Schnabel told an important story in his new film 'Miral.'

Life is about hope, with out hope- you die. Period.

SEX IS VIOLENT

2010-12-16T17:46:00.000-08:00

Scissor Sisters are rad. Their visually stunning music video for 'Invisible Light' is soft and dark all at the same time. It's the third single from the album 'Night Work.'

1980 Robert Mapplethorpe photo

It's no surprise, since they are opening for Lady Gaga, that the video is filled with SEX and VIOLENCE. Two of Gaga's 'go to' for visuals. It's true what Jane's Addiction told you: 'Sex IS Violent' and 'Nothing's Shocking' anymore. (P.S Perry Farrell is an Aries like Lady Gaga)

VID VISUALS: I don't get (and am against) the rabbit's head being chopped off. But I'm hopeful it's a positive political statement of sorts. Otherwise it references tons of old skool film and music favs. The lady like clothes mixed with Cleopatra goodness are yummy. Get familiar + enjoy.

ANGIE DON'T U WEEP, ALL UR KISSES STILL TASTE SWEET x

2010-12-16T15:14:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie is the most beautiful women alive. News flash at 11. Duh. We know that. You should know that in person she is actually even more beautiful. No really. Flawless. A Gemini, like Marilyn Monroe, she is incapable of taking a bad photo. A hundred years from now: she will be the celebrity that our grandkids will be talking about. I guarantee it.

So as much as I love her for the philanthropy, global mommy, screw the media, I fly planes, do action films + my own thang type of broad she is. Let's get down to her fashion.

During her recent publicity rounds for "The Tourist," with (fellow Gemini Johnny Depp,) Angie has been working an an array of gorg Versace. Mainly in black and cream hues thanks to her long time stylist Jen Rade.

There was a time (during her post 'Girl Interrupted' goth days) when everything about her, including her fashion, was hated on by everyone. So here we go again. Now everyone is knocking the black velvet Versace knee length built-in opera gloves number that she wore at the Berlin premiere.

ATT HATERS: Angie nailed three of THE biggest trends right now: lady length to the knee, velvet, gloves. To be clear- not even on your best day squared could you work it like this.

So 'ANGIE DON'T YOU WEEP, ALL YOUR KISSES STILL TASTE SWEET'. This loyal fashionista has got you ma.

Now listen to Rolling Stones 'Angie,' respect those with ferosh individual style & have a fab day x

Said best by my cousin Sigal: 'In memory of my beloved grandmother, Shoshana Rotman Jan 7, 1924- Dec 11, 2010. A remarkable lady and the best grandmother a grandchild could ask for. I miss her already.'

BABY U CAN DRIVE MY CAR. YES I'M GONNA BE A ★

2010-12-08T19:56:00.000-08:00

If u drive a Benz or BMW... yawn. Now if you wear Dickies + drive a vintage American muscle car, we have probably dated. Unlike most young sweet ladies who are supposed to play with Barbies and such, I had a thing for hot rods. Thanks Dad.

Why collect Hermes Birkin bags? When I can collect these!! So until I get a garage full like Leno, I give you permission to buy me this '57 Chevy Bel Air for Xmas. Graci x

LENNON 4EVER. Imagine that x

2010-12-08T15:52:00.000-08:00

I believe that you either grew up in a Beatles household or an Elvis household. Everyone loves both. But one was usually played a bit more than the other. My dad (who has rad taste) was wayyyy into Elvis. So I wasn't a big Beatles fan.

But when I was a wee lil girl, I remember asking my mom (who has amazing taste tambien) while we were in the car, 'who is that singing?' Mom skooled me, 'That is John Lennon'.

His solo efforts, about love for his woman + world peace, spoke to me. So on the day the music died 30 years ago I say: LENNON 4EVER. Your personal Libra fashion style and views are as relevant today as ever.

2 get the gist of how forward thinking Lennon was on all levels... you must see this documentary. One of my fav films of all time:

http://www.amazon.com/U-S-vs-John-Lennon/dp/B000LP5CX4

"What they want is dead heroes, like Sid Vicious and James Dean," he said. "I'm not interested in being a dead f****** hero ... so forget 'em, forget 'em." John Lennon

JAM OF THE DAY- Hippies Unite

2010-12-07T18:24:00.000-08:00

Picked a happy song in Elizabeth Edwards honor (RIP). I hope she is at 'Home' and at ☮.

I am a Hippie @ ♥ (w/a phenom aesthetic). Hence I dig EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS. 

The hippie subculture was originally a youth movement that arose in the United States during the mid-1960s, swiftly spreading to other countries around the world. The etymology of the term 'hippie' is from hipster, and was initially used to describe beatniks who had moved into New York City's Greenwich Village and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. The early hippie ideology included the countercultural values of the Beat Generation. Some created their own social groups and communities, listened to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as marijuana and LSD to explore alternative states of consciousness... according to Wikipedia.

CRANK THIS HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY SONG UP.

1 OF MY FAV TALENTS OF ALL TIME x

2010-12-07T15:32:00.000-08:00

I HAVE MET + INTERVIEWED THEM ALL. Donatella, Tom Ford, Armani, Valentino, the list goes on.

BY FAR 2 DATE-- my fav is still Brian Lichtenberg.

In this industry, there are so many fashion insiders/designers/stylists/peeps/hangers-on that are snobby/lame/hipsters trying to be 'Devil Wears Prada' Wintour energy.

NOTE: Its contrived and no one is buying what you are selling.

BRIAN LICHTENBERG IS REFRESHING. HE COULD NOT BE MORE OPPOSITE OF THAT.

Even though Lichtenberg did one of the most pop culture recognizable ensembles since J.LO's green Versace, (HI- yellow crime scene tape in Gaga's 'Telephone' music vid), He remains one of the most humble, warm, kind, generous talents alive. We salute him 4 that.

MAD ABOUT HELEN MIRREN

2010-12-07T13:26:00.000-08:00

Fact. Helen Mirren is magnificent. Not because she has an Oscar. But because she, without Botox or fillers, is a strikingly beautiful woman. Confident in her own skin. Her sex appeal at the age of SIXTY FIVE, yes I said 65, is off the charts. Her body is banging and she is just a rad DAME. Her navy/gold form fitted Badgley Mischka at the 'The Tempest' premiere in LA last night was gorg x
