I'm So Totally Mad For Lara Stone

I don't know about you, but I totally adore Lara Stone. I think she's so beautiful. I really love this incredibly gorgeous and stylish editorial of her in the September issue of Vogue. These photos by Mert & Mercus have some a cool retro vibe to them. I find them to be quite stunning. What do you think?



















P.S. I wanted to keep you guys updated with what's going on in my life. I went yesterday to my local community college. I am going back to school this upcoming spring semester. I will be a returning student since I went to this particular school years ago. Quite a few of the courses I once took still count and will transfer so I won't have to retake them. I do have to take the math placement test. I'm not looking forward to that. I was never good in math at all. I hate to think of how much I've forgotten now. I'm taking it in a couple of weeks. The first of November is early registration for the next semester. I did quality for financial aid so my tuition and books will be covered. I'm both scared and excited. I never thought I would be going back to college again. I do know that I've always regretted that I never finished before. I've never been able to get that great of jobs due to only having a high school diploma. I know that I need to further my education, especially with the current economic climate in this country. It's the best thing I do. I do feel weird going back at age 40. I know that many of the students are young enough to be my children. I've got the will and drive to make it work. It has to work. There aren't a lot of options otherwise. I do ask that you would continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it. Thanks.

Elle Macpherson Is All About 60's Love

I've seen these photos of Elle Macpherson around the internet so I wanted to share them with you guys. I've had a huge crush on Elle since I can remember. She's still incredibly sexy to this day. I love the whole 60's vibe of these photos and video. These photos were shot by Sharif Hamza for issue #4 of Love magazine. The video is for their iPad app. Let me know what you think of this editorial.

















P.S. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate it. This has definitely been a difficult time in my life. I've been so stressed out. I'm really nervous about the future. I'm not quite sure yet what I'm going to do. I am putting in some job applications. I'm also seeking out some short term work even if I can't find anything more substantial. I'm really considering going back to college. One of the biggest regrets of my life is that I never finished college. I know that's been the main reason in my life why I've gone from one dead end job to another. It's time for a change in my life. I'm almost 40 years old. I can't keep on going on like this. I'm seriously considering going back to college to further my education. I believe that's the best thing for me to do. I'm talking with my family, friends, church, etc. about my studies as well as trying to find some work. Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers. It means so much to me. Thanks. Take care. God bless you.

Miranda Kerr Is My Kind Of Angel, Plus Giveaway Winner Announced

My favorite model of today is Miranda Kerr. I find her incredibly sexy. Orlando Bloom is such a lucky man to be dating this goddess. I just knew I had to post these gorgeous photos (by Mariano Vivanco) of her when I saw them in the June issue of Elle. They are definitely beautiful and stunning. I'm also posting a video of the photo shoot itself. Any other fans of this Victoria's Secret Angel here?



















P.S. The winner has been randomly selected in the Orient Watch giveaway that had been running on my blog the last two weeks! That lucky winner is Couture Carrie! Congrats to Carrie!

Naomi Campbell Is Fierce & I Like That

When you think of supermodels, Naomi Campbell has to be one of those at the top of your list. Naomi was born on May 22, 1970 in London, England. Her mother is of Afro-Jamaican descent, while her father is of Chinese Jamaican descent. Her father left soon after Naomi's birth. Her mother had traveled throughout Europe with a dance troupe over the years. Naomi began to study ballet as a young girl.

Naomi became a model while still in her teens. She appeared on the cover of Elle when she was only 15. She was the first black model to appear on the covers of many magazines, including Vogue Paris. Naomi has often talked about the racism and discrimination that she has faced over the years in the fashion world. She talks about how it still exists to this day.

She has been on the cover of over 100 magazines. Her career has stretched beyond just the catwalk, print ads, commercials, etc. Naomi has appeared in quite a few music videos, including George Michael's Freedom and Madonna's Erotica. She has also appeared in movies, documentaries & television shows. She has even had a music career as well.

Naomi is still out there, working it to this day. She is still very beautiful and stunning after twenty years in the biz. Naomi's somebody who definitely tells it like it is. She's not afraid to be the woman she is, whether society likes it or not. Naomi does often get herself into quite a bit of trouble. You definitely don't want to get her mad because she might throw her phone at you.

She has helped open many doors for other black models. She deserves a lot of credit for that. Plus Naomi does do a lot of work for charity that often doesn't get recognized. She is quite a striking beauty. There's no denying that at all. Whether you like her or not, I know there are many people who can't stand her, I do hope you will give her the proper credit. She has earned her spot in the history of the fashion industry. Here are some photos of Naomi. I hope you like them.

































I wanted to post this video. This is Michael Jackson's In The Closet, which features Naomi. I love this song and video.



P.S. I hope everybody had a great weekend. It was a holiday weekend here in the United States so I had a three day weekend. Being that yesterday was Memorial Day, I did not do a blog post. I am posting today instead. This will be my only post on this blog this week. I should have my next post up on Monday. I'm going to head around to your blogs now. Take care. Have a fantastic week.

They Just Don't Make Supermodels Like They Once Did

That is a photo from 1990 of Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz, Christy Turlington & Cindy Crawford. I always loved the supermodels of that era. It's great to see so many of the models of the 1980's/1990's out there again in commercials and print ads.

They just don't make models like this anymore. These girls actually had bodies. Plus they had personalities of their own. So many of the models out there today seem like skinny mindless zombies.

I had a huge crush on so many of them. Did any of you have a favorite supermodel from back then? Mine was Christy Turlington. I plan to start posting more pictures of all of these supermodels and many more in the future.

Here are two George Michael videos that featured quite a few supermodels, such as the ones above and Tyra Banks.
