Adam Lambert Plays a Love Game

Is there any doubt that Glambert is the sexiest m-effer to croon his way to the finale of American Idol...like ever? Whether you're gay, straight, deaf, mute or blind, the animal magnetism of this man is absolutely inescapable. And don't get me started on that voice. To quote Rachel Zoe, it is beyooond. That being said, this photo shoot is the steamed milk in my sexual-latte. I am so in love with the idea of blurring the lines of sexuality, gender and attraction. Says Adam, "I am gay, but I like kissing women sometimes. Women are pretty." Want more? Check out the article accompanying these pics, here. Source/Source

Fashion Week; Spring '10

Last year, I was a virgin to the Fashion Week frenzy. I'd had to travel down from my school upstate. I was amazed by the fashions around me, the display in the middle, I was even excited just to be standing on the lines. This year, I was excited to be there but I took it like a pro; in and out! I went to Vessel by Lois; which was set up in a building surrounded by warehouses, construction and the club, Mansion. I also attended Ports1961, Tibi and Toni Francesc; all under the tents. The display under the tents was a set up of luggage by MCM. They're an old leather goods company that has sprung back into the fashion world. There was a small thing on them in NYLON's newest issue about their purses. The other day, my friend bought a wallet made by them at a consignment shop. Looks like someone missed the fashion curve! Oh well, one mans trash is another mans treasure, and MCM looked like the makings of a fabulous treasure chest at Fashion Week. For Vessel, I was given back stage access and spoke with the make-up director and the hair stylist who explained that in paired with such androgynous collection, Lois, the model turned designer, wanted the look to be relaxed and natural. All the pieces seemed very male-inspired: Down to the shoes. It was very tailored and very conservative. I also happened to see Malik Yoba and snack on mini beef patties. Ports 1961 was an ethereal collection. It held a very tranquil presence with iridescent pastels, cremes, and whites. There were plenty of draped backs, cinched waists, soft materials and roomy pieces. Tibi was my favorite, by far. The collection was quite colorful, very fun, and perfect for the season. There was wide variety of silhouettes and details: lots of one-shoulder's; silky loose short shorts; ruffles, flowers and adornments stitching. Chrisette Michelle was in attendance, as well as Jade from America's Next Top Model and Amerie. Toni Francesc was called Waters Mood and it stayed true to it's name. When it wasn't moody with structured silhouettes, fierceness, origami designs and tight to the body, it was flowing and flirty like water. I was a little bored at this show but it there were some amazing and interesting pieces. It seems this year trends are hinting at hard and soft: origami, lots of structure but still flowing skirts and draped backs. I love that color is popping up this year: maybe this means we're heading out of this economic "depression". There was still a lot of men's-wear inspired clothes, from Lois' androgynous collection to Ports 1961's take on pegleg pants. But this has been going on since the 20's and I doubt it's going anywhere. Well, that was my Fashion Week. Here's what I wore the last day. Lovingly, In AWord Intern.

Fab Fall Booties!

YSL Caged Booties $1,130 Did you go gaga for the sinfully strappy Yves Saint Laurent Caged Booties on the YSL Spring 2009 runway? If so, we've got something in common! And lucky for us, the knockoffs have hit the market. Bakers Ashton $59.99 Infinitely more wearable than the original and for a tenth of the price? These Bakers heels are a no-brainer. I just scooped up a similar pair (but with a thinner, higher heel) by Michael Antonio through my Shoe Dazzle subscription. Perfect paired with everything from black skinnies to a belted floral dress, I can't stop wearing them! Go on, give your Fall wardrobe some serious edge.

Happy Fashion Week!

Seventies Side Eye Hello my loves! I can feel the side eyes from here, as I have been hopelessly MIA from this here blog. So where have I been? Being a lawyer (my bosses actually expect me to work, the nerve), drafting my next exclusive (featuring Luke Destin, Oprah's fashion stylist, yay!), being fabulous (it's exhausting) and planning my world takeover. Endless apologies...I've missed you all! Currently, I am all up and through the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week tents, so I can bring you the trends and fashion tidbits you need! Next stop, Paris Fashion Week! Thank you for all of your positive energy and dazzling love... Stay devastingly fab, Elle Picture Source

It's Baaaaack! Project Runway Premieres Tonight!

Pour the pinot, pop the corn, pass the dutchie and prepare yourself for another magically delicious season of designer drama as Project Runway (woo!) debuts on its new channel, Lifetime, tonight at 10 pm! - The lost Season 6 will finally air after 8 months of legal shenanigans, and I haven't been this excited for television since RuPaul's Drag Race and its glittery gays were swirling around on Logo. (Puhleeze tell me that Season Two is in production!) But I digress. This is about PR! All of our favorites judges are back, including Heidi, Tim, Michael and Nina (yes, we are on a first name basis). And speaking of favorites, as if the PR premiere weren't enough, Lifetime is airing a special All Star Challenge tonight at 8 pm, featuring eight past PR finalists competing for $100,000! I'm practically schvitzing with anticipation! Where the H are my blotting papers when I need them? - Be there tonight at 8!

Fab Look of the Day

Go Mo! One of my favorite funny girls, Monique, made a dazzling arrival at the Hoodie Awards this past weekend in Vegas looking like a svelte and feathery dream! Although I do wish her buhbies were perched just a tad higher, it is clear losing 40 pounds and wearing strategically placed undergarments has worked wonders for Miss Mo! And more importantly, she is giving me effects with this dress! The silhouette makes her look long, lean and luscious. I also love the fact that she paired it with simple hair, soft makeup and minimal accessories. Claps and snaps to her handlers, good work out of each and every one of you! Monique has chosen the perfect time to get ready for her close up. She has the industry abuzz with her apparent star turn in the highly anticipated film, Precious, and will soon debut her own late night talk show on BET. Good for you girl! Source

The Shigoto Launch at Ninja

The Japanese-inspired setting was the perfect touch to transport those of us who attended the Shigoto launch at Ninja NYC to ancient Tokyo. From the artsy serving dishes to booths surrounded by scenic rocks and trees, from bamboo fences and walkways offsetting coal black floors and walls, it was an ethnic extravaganza! The singular path in front crowded by photographers and fashion addicts was soon dotted with models sporting Shigoto. The models were diversified in ethnicity but shared one thing in common: harem pants! Wide and spacious throughout and snug at the ankle, this trend has surfaced quite rapidly, with some success and very many failures. For Shigoto, they came is varied colors: red, white, turquoise and blue, even emblazoned with SHIGOTO in rhinestones. Fun fact: harem pants like these were worn by Japanese construction workers centuries ago. The men accessorized the slightly baggy look with shoes that separated the big toe from the rest. Elle and Momma The designer, Jasper Momma, proud of his accomplishments and more than willing to share his inspiration behind the collection, tells me that he traveled to Japan to find rich, quality fabrics to make the pants with. This is the one part that is completely unlike the uniform in which it was borrowed, Momma says the construction workers pants were made of much thinner, cheaper fabric. Best part of the night, the separated toe socks in our goodie bags! -Reporting by Nastasia, Inaword Intern
