You watch TV, browse the Internet and read newspapers/magazines and everywhere you go what you mostly see is a celebrity or a model that is on the cover of something looking absolutely PERFECT. First thought that comes to mind is, “She’s so Photoshopped”. You hate to admit that some of the times the star is fit, gorgeous and flawless. You feel a little bit of envy, which is completely normal, and you cope by sinking your teeth into the soft, sweet crème-filled doughnut with chocolate frosting, as you mumble with your mouth full, “Oh well.” Well, not any more! Let the stars inspire you or if you happen to admire someone don’t waste your time being jealous of them, steal their tricks! Reinvent yourself! Want to be as fit as a celeb? Cut their picture out, place it on your refrigerator’s door so when you reach for the cake, that pic will remind you about your goal weight! Is there an actress, singer or model that has the same eye and hair color as you? Browse the net, search pictures of them, try to imitate their makeup and see which hairstyles and colors look good on them, if they have your same tone, body shape and similar features, chances are it will look just as good as you. See what they wear, if you have an akin bod, surely the clothes they wear may compliment you as well. Do try to mix it up, and put some of your creative touch to it. Know there’s always room for improvement and make sure to feel comfortable. Let the stars or anyone you hate to love start inspiring you. It’s time to stop hating on others and start loving yourself!

Christian DiorSpring/Summer 2009 Haute Couture fashion show in Paris, France. John Galliano is the head designer behind Dior and he steals the show, it was spectacular. And the tendency was the same as usual, he managed to take our breath away.
The corseted belts (creating the wasp waist look), soft hues, animal prints and strong silhouettes were definitely the highlights of the show. Let’s not forget the odd shoes in random shapes with Eiffel tower inspired heels that were absolutely, in its entirety, striking. Galliano once again, for this collection played with fabrics and the female form in order to give us nothing less than finesse and art.
Charlize Theron gorgeous as ever on the August cover of Elle UK magazine. She talks about her lover, Stuart Townsend, how in love she is, the possibility of having children, why she won’t get married, and her thoughts on image:
“I don’t have hang-ups about the way I look. I can see myself in the mirror when I’m all done up and think I look pretty hot, but I can see myself every day and see this round Dutch doll face. We’ve got so crazy about our faces and our bodies. I guard my privacy partly because I like to keep my head free from all that paranoia. I’m not super-skinny. I have curves and they belong on my body. I put on two stone for Monster but I also lost two stone when I played a woman with cancer in Sweet November.”
You’ve got the boobs and he has got the trap. Walking in the city I passed by a guy who had what I like to call “Hot Wheels,” a super nice car. He was kind of flirting, but I ignored him, and he called me a “Bitch.” Men don’t react too well to rejection. The guy wasn’t Brad Pitt, which explains the expensive car for desperate need of attention. Sure the cage might be nice, but not when the ugly bird needs to go flying. Ladies, don’t fall for it. Besides, he may not be able to afford taking you out to dinner if he’s loaded with car payments.
I received an email today, “FashAddiX, how can I find the perfect guy?” I’m a fashion expert not a relationship one, but I guess I can give some feedback on that department.I thought to myself, great question! How do you find the perfect guy? Hmmm, I looked under my bed, didn’t find one. Looked in my closet, darn it, thank goodness he wasn’t there! I went to the grocery store…no luck. And so, we’ll tell you finding the perfect guy is based on what is PERFECT to you. What do you want? What’s your definition of perfection? While some women would rather devote their whole, entire life to their main man, we have to admit they are like potato chips; sometimes you just cannot have only one. They can also be like a pair of shoes, after you’ve walked all over them and worn them out, it may be time for the latest model. But the latest model may be too tight, kill your feet and give you bunions. They do look good, but how do they really make you feel? I’ve met lots of wonderful men, and when I find the perfect one, he’ll be placed on a pedestal in a glass box for exhibition purposes only, he’s mine BITCH. But the truth is no one is perfect. It all comes down to personal preference, how a person is around you and how that person behaves around others. How does he treat you? The respect and the love need to be there, and the good sex doesn’t hurt either. Do not settle for less. A real man values a woman’s worth and you my darling are worth too much (him affording you is a whole other post). That person will honor you, become your friend, and be someone you can trust. In life, we can’t go hunting for the perfect job, the perfect man, etc. We can strive, work hard, do what we love and meet new people. But sometimes things just fall into place. And when you find yourself enjoying your life, you may stumble upon that special someone when you’re not even looking! It just happens, when it does, you’ll know.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith arrive at the World Premiere of Columbia Pictures “Hancock” in California. The beautiful couple has a fashion dilemma. Will may be sexy, but he sure dresses appallingly. He mentioned one time that his wife picks his clothes, that explains it! Jada may be a hot tamale, but she dresses down her man, it must be a trick to keep the ladies away. We’ve got her all figured out!
Tommy Hilfiger and Cynthia Nixonat the Tommy Hilfiger 10th Anniversary party in Athens. Nixon is pictured wearing a Tommy Hilfiger champagne gold color dress, but maybe it isn’t a dress, we actually think it is one of her satin sheets she wrapped around her neck and decided to walk out of the house with it on. She thought she’d fool us, but the bed head gave you away hunny!
