It all turned up roses at Zuhair Murad’s Spring Couture show. Gowns bloomed with flowers in time for Spring and it was GORGEOUS! I loved the caged skirts…. it gave the collection a baroque theme, which is my favorite era. I give this collection a two thumbs up and if …

Viktor’s & Rolf’s spring collection was inspired by the art style of Cubism. You know, the art with the messed up faces and stuff ( it’s just a mess all around) mostly done by artists like Pablo Picasso. I always thought that was one of the FUG-liest type of artwork, …

So opulent! So luxurious! So…. Balmain! The beading and materials in this season’s Balmain collection was super extravagant… just they way it should be! I’d swish the night away with Mr. Miggins batting at my dress in one of those flapper, beaded dresses. We’d both have the time of our …

How brilliant! Zoey Taylor and David Connelly from The House of Cardboard has made nearly everything in their ‘house’ out of cardboard. My fave has to be the violin and film projector. Both are so intricate and require a number of hours to transform the mundane cardboard into two non-mundane objects. Check out …

Oh my goodness!! Will the REAL models say Meow! Look at the bevy of pussies putting those models to shame! I have to say I only posted these for the cats because, honestly, the clothes are slightly FUG. But on the other hand, I would totally wear the tapestry cat …
