Skyy Vodka controversial new ad campaign

A new print and outdoor ad campaign for Skyy Vodka depicts a woman clad in red leather tights and high heels getting ...um...poked by a vodka bottled. Marin Institute watchdog Bruce Lee Livingston said, "This is just ridiculous, it's porn-a-hol. Underage kids will look at this and associate sexual prowess with drinking Skyy."

Well, duh. Alcohol does increase sexual prowess but we guess that's besides the point. Livingston thinks the ad industry can't regulate itself and said, "The FTC should be all over this." So be the judge yourself!

Fashion show - Slovenia's Next Top Model

Last night we visited the preview of models, who are a part of Slovenia's Next Top Model show, starting Sept. 22 at 9 p.m. on TV3. Frankly the girls are nice, the show was great, I had some issues with details like clothes looking not-finished, manicures and pedicures of the girls, shoes, ... however if I dare to compare this selection of girls to the one running on the competitive TV station Pop brio, the girls are looking modelish and are far beyond their fellow competitors. Looking forward to the show!

Money can't buy style

If anyone, Daphne Guinness, heiress of the Guinness empire, could afford a stylist. And it seems that she desperately needs one. Now if Lady Gaga can pull extreme fashion look, it just doesn't mean it suits all ... especially while walking round town in daytime. Now this is a true fail and do not try this at home.

Elle's 25th anniversary graced on 25 covers!

Fashion magazines are adapting a new trend - playing with covers. After the same Miu Miu dress appeared on three August cover issues (W, Elle and Vogue), Elle decided to go a bit further. They are celebrating their 25th anniversary with 25 different covers with 25 models under the age of 25. October issue is graced by Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Gabourey Sidibe, Lauren Conrad and 21 more. So pick your favorite one!






Kelly Osbourne looking hot!

I never thought I would ever say this, but Kelly Osbourne looks damn hot on this photo taken last night at the Tracy Reese Spring 2011 show!!! Last week Tv channel E! announced Kelly is now among judges on their popular show Fashion Police and I wasn't that sure about the choice really. Not so much for her looks as for usual fashion statements, which were far from trendy and sexy. However her new look got sexy and confident. After losing weight and adapting a sophisticated new style, she can easily mingle with the rest of the hotties, like Denise Richards. I wonder who looks better though.

Diana Vickers plays a Twiggy role

Diana Vickers, X Factor star, transformed herself one again into first British top model Twiggy in these new photo shots. See for yourself - the differences between 1969 and 2010.

Tattoos of women on women

Ok, so if there's one thing I really don't understand is women who have tattoos of women "gracing" their bodies. Now I am not against tattoos, but ... why would a woman choose a tattoo if a pin up girl? Actually if you check the first photo of Amy Winehouse's arm ... it's also a very bad tattoo in the first place. And it seems to be the trend of the last couple of years. With shows like Miami and LA Ink such tattoos got even higher exposures ... well check the master lady Kan Von D below ... I do admire her work, but I just cannot get the women tattoos situation. Sorry. Put on a sailor or something! 



Tourist fashionista Kim Kardashian hits London

The old dilemma on how to be a fashionista while visiting one of fashion's capitals of the world is solved, thanks to Kim Kardashian. The reality star is enjoying her time just being a London tourist, posing in old-fashioned red phone boxes and next to the Queen's Guard in Whitehall. Well the sky high heels might not be comfortable while walking around, but the statement was made.
