The revival of the supermodel.


Fashion is about history repeating itself with some small new alterations.
The supermodel area is dead unfortunately, these days it's Jessica Simpson and Keira Knightley and God knows who on the cover of the top magazines most of the time anyway.

During the nineties we had Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford etc.
Model where what young girls aspired to look like and I'm talking before it all turned non fab and Kate Moss brought us the Heroine chic look, which in my opinion never was that attractive. All of a sudden young teen girls where going for that malnourished and 
homeless look, yeah, that is really sexy, not!

Then the area of celebrity started and it was all movie stars and popstars, great only one thing they ain't models. To see Jennifer Lopez, who is beautiful by the way, trying to squeeze here voluptuous booty in to a size French 38, "well we all know it wasn't no 38" just ain't going to work.

Being beautiful and being a model does not necessary go together, since you need to look good in all angles and be pretty slim since the camera adds a few pounds an most of all you need to be photogenic and like a cameleon.

All of a sudden all I see it's celebs like Beyonce trying to look fa
shionable and it makes me pissed of cause it's putting models out of business. Fashion is more sincere when you don't know the name of the model wearing it since, you have a tendency to focus on the clothes more then the person. I don't want to sound to pessimistic but I miss when models where models, to day if you go to a casting you can't tell the bloody difference, since someone just that walked in from the street to ask for direction could be a model.

I am tired of seeing scrawny ass so called models who look as interesting as, well you just wanna flip the page. I think women should look like women and not like bony teenage boys with long hair. Bring back the supermodels and real good editorials with o
ut the celebs please.
I need my weekly dose of fashion but make it exiting again please.

One of my all time favorites is Linda Evangelista and I taught I'll give you a taste, a little a bit of Italian Vogue old school baby. Now this is a fashionistas dream come thru.
Compare it to the latest" it" model down below and see the difference folks.

Malnourished versus all woman and looking fab.
Now put that in your pipe and smoke it bitches cause that is to quote Tyra Banks "Fierce".
And one more thing, please feed the models!!!!

The world got a crush on Obama!


So,they all have a crush on Obama, well, It's not hard to see why!
Barack Obama is phenomenon, whenever he speaks the crowds go crazy and news anchers are memorized and exstatic.

Obama has declared himself a nominee for the democratic party and he is the first Afro American to have a shot at becoming the next president of United States of America, which is a huge accomplishment and he is definately making history. McCain don't seem worried though which makes me wonder, either he knows something the general public don't or he is in denial.

Obama is like this force that makes you wanna stop and listen in front of the TV and McCain, well he makes you wanna fall asleep every time he starts one of his speeches.
As a European it's interesting to follow the American election since it obviously will have a huge effect on world economy and the financial market. As they say, the power of the mighty dollar makes the world go around, lately it's been all about the Euro though.

People want change and no matter how many teary eyed speeches we heard from Hillary Clinton nobody makes the slogan "change we can believe in"  a more powerful, sincere and less of a cliche then Barack Obama. The American election is so interesting to watch since everything so full of energy and passion. I have never experienced this kind of "I'm going to a rock concert" feeling in any other election then the American one.

Take for example England if you listen to one of Gordon Browns speeches in Parliament and compare it to Obamas's you feel like your watching  paint dry.
We need more youth in politics and people who speak to the people not the government parliament, I believe people in general feel politicians all over the world are corrupted and deceiving the public and not reaching out to regular folks. I hope we will see a European version of Obama soon since we are in desperate need of a massive change all over the world. 
We need to change our world for the better and minimize poverty and violence and stop world hunger and injustice, we have to believe we can do that so we can make this world a better place for all people of all races. There is tensions between races in the US as much as in Europe and it would definitely help if people would stop looking at color and start looking at reality.

We are all different and that is beautiful so lets make the best out of it and embrace our differences and learn from them.
