Bill O' Reilly Visited My School On Friday

Details to follow on Monday.

Spitzer Should Be Ashamed

What was the 'hottest' thing to be searched on Google yesterday?
Apparently pretty much anything related to the (NY Governor) Elliot Spitzer prostitution controversy.

It's bad enough that he cheated on his wife, but to drag his kids through this? That little b*stard is a sucky father and if I was his kid and I heard that he was in this controversy, I'd go up to him and say, "Dad, you are an a-hole and I'm disowning you, you loser. You cheated on Mom and what about me? You little f***ing excuse for a dad, and a governor." And then I'd kick him in the balls. Hard.

My Social Studies teacher had a discussion with us about that, and he agrees, and he mentioned how Spitzer's kids must feel when they go to school the next day and the kids are talking about their dad...

What's your opinion on this?

Update...

Musings of a Girl in the City is now officially Fashion Download.

It is the same blog run by me, but I updated it a wee bit.

I have HUGE tests this weeks, so I might post only once or twice. Anyways, have a lovely week!

Can Perfume Inspire A Gown?

I spotted this gown on the fashion blog for the Met. It was designed for Nina Ricci by Olivier Theyskens, and referenced not only the archives of the house’s faintly recalled eponymous founder but also her perfume, L’Air du Temps, which I own, with its two doves hovering above the bottle of swirling crystal. This gown is so gorgeous, it makes me want to scream.

Prada Gets An A+ in Art

Prada uses these unique drawings as part of their line, in several of their bags, I believe. I love how it is both monochromatic and colorful at the same time... especially that the colored parts highlight and enhance the artwork. I wonder who drew them? My favorites are the first and last drawings.

Viva La Fergie

Fergie for MAC's Viva Glam campaign, which benefits men, women, and kids living with HIV and AIDS. Fergie looks great, but being photoshopped heavily probably helped. I wish I looked like her right now since I'm sick. But I'll get better...

Gwen Stefani Poses for V Magazine

Oh my. Gwen looks fierce on this month's cover of

V Magazine. You know what, I believe that is a Miu Miu dress from the Spring 2008 Ready to Wear....

Marchesa, How I Adore Thee

This Marchesa dress is so gorgeous... I love the different textures, the (velvet) skirtwith the (silk) bow with the (feathered) top. I can imagine myself wearing these Miu Miu spectator pumps with them, and an updo or a chic chignon.

Or maybe the shoes shown with the dress in the pic above...

Oh Tyra...

I read this in the New York Fashion online:

Tyra Takes Her Claws to Karlie Kloss

Karlie Kloss is on the rise, but we're not sure if that's a good thing if Tyra Banks is in the audience. If you've not seen it, the Kloss walk features a kind of stoned death stare; she moves in slow motion, swaying her head from side to side in such a way that if laser beams were to suddenly shoot out of her eyes — and we suspect they might any minute now — she would obliterate everyone in the first two rows. So when Kloss floated by Banks at the Jill Stuart show this afternoon, Banks noticed. Tyra excitedly tapped her purple-haired neighbor, indicating this was the moment she'd been waiting for. Her eyes adopted the same couldn't-give-a-shit glare as Kloss; she dropped her chin, and slowly swayed her head from side to side, transforming herself into a Kloss zombie. Her companion laughed excitedly and so Tyra did the routine again. And again. Then she turned to her other front-row neighbor, the ubiquitous Nigel Barker, and did it again. Nigel shook his head and, though we didn't hear their conversation, they seemed to agree they didn't know what the hell Kloss was doing. Whatever it was, it's been working: The girl's barely 15 years old and has been owning the runways all week. —Amy Odell

Fashion Weeks Gone "Bye" Part Deux

BCBG MAX AZRIA- Soft, breezy outfits stormed the runway, with subtle touches such as the leather belts and handbags to keep the outfits playful and wearable, so they won't be doomed to closet limbo if you buy one of the beautiful pieces. One must note, however, that safari colors were abundant, but the outfits did not veer dangerously close to camp attire. That shows what geniuses the partners behind BCBG are.

BETSEY JOHNSON- One of my favorite designers, Betsey did not disappoint. The themes for the clothes ran rampant, ranging from dark moody colors, to offbeat prints, to bright cheery yellow, to patriotic red white and blue. And as always, the clothes were sophisticated but with a touch of youth, which gives Betsey Johnson clothes it's flair.

BADGLEY MISCHKA- All of the models looked like high glamour, with the gorgeous, gorgeous clothes they modeled at Badgley Mischka. I loved the outfits that had the high waisted, knee length shirts, a belt, and a top. I also loved the leather jacket, if that is leather, in the second to last photo. The hair and makeup was beautiful, and all the clothes were truly wearable, and must I stress it, everything was absolutely GORGEOUS. This perhaps was my favorite collection I have seen from Badgley Mischka.

CHRISTIAN LACROIX- I admire this designer, but the collection I was viewing didn't really stand out to me, but the pieces that did were beautifully made with fine attention to detail, as with all of the pieces. Some of the silhouettes were unusual, but striking. I loved the pairing of blue tights with the lace gown below, since it made it wearable.

ERIN FETHERSTON- The collection was good, but not great. The black clothes veered dangerously close to the "schoolgirl" look, and the patterned dresses looked like it was haphazardly made, but once the white clothes came ou, the collection sparkled to life. However, maybe it would be wise for Erin to stick to the other seasons besides the Fall and Winter collections. BUT, I loved, loved, LOVED the outfit Karlie Kloss modelled in the show, so there may be hope for Erin yet.
