"New" is the definiton of old

Who does Madonna quote? Who do they say Sharon Stone looks like? Who do Gerri Halliwell, Anna Kournikova and Ann Nicole Smith try to be? Would you look at these faces - tasty lips, drawing a promising smile; a scent of sin in their eyes. Now close your eyes and there she is - the beautiful, unscrupulous, powerful and legendary - Norma Jeane Mortenson. The woman who dared to call herself Marilyn Monroe. The one and only.

Now tell me - aren't there a hundred girls who try to be her, who try to achieve what she had by simply doing a hair like hers, lips like hers, look like hers? But still, they can never get there. You know why? Because one of the things that makes Marilyn special is that she WAS the first one and still is. When asked what she wears in her bed, she answers "Channel N5, of course." Do you think this is the way that women spoke back in the 60's? No, this was the time when people first started showing real sex scenes in movies. This is the time when a short skirt doesn't mean an escort, but a powerful woman. This was the time that actually helped us be what we are today. Good or bad, the truth is that the people who set the beginning of an era that changed history, are never going to die. Their spirit and fame really are going to live forever and keep coming back when defining the new fashion tendencies or by being imitated in movies, music videos, magazine articles, Talk shows etc. Yes, we are always going to keep the spirit of the 50's and 60's not only in our hearts, but also in our hands and eyes.
Let's take Christina Aguilera - the face of change. Starting off as a California virgin teenage girl, going through a sex machine, rap girl, metal girl and then roughly diving into the image of a sexy, Marilyn-like girl from a 60's magazine cover. I'm not sure if she was blindly trying to be cool and make money or actually showing her respect for the 60's celebs, but naming an album "Back to basics" really just reminded people to go back from time to time to see where it all started - back then when the music and movies industry were virgin and fresh. Before the Britney-s and Angelina-s poured the world with babies, drugs, fake singing and bad surgeries and there were just a few Hollywood sluts, not a few Hollywood not-sluts.
Okay, call me nostalgic! We can only hope that the 60's will never be forgotten and the children of our children will also know who Audrey Hepburn and Bettie Davis are.

Phoenix in blond?

Rising from the ashes, Britney is obviously quite determined to crawl back to the top.
Winning an award at the 2008 MTV VMA's, which we are not sure she deserves, gave her the strength she needed.
Her ex husband - slacker Kevin Federline - took all custody over their kids and now Britney is left with her only baby - her career. Of course, she couldn't manage to take good care of that either, but fortunately for her nobody can take away what she is.
According to People magazine, Britney performed next to Madonna for her Sticky and Sweet tour. However, I would rather say that Madonna hired Britney as an extra, since Brit's role in the whole performance was almost decorative.
However, she looked rather nice, as we can all see - this time managed to cover her eye circles, chose an outfit that covers most of her imperfections.
Yes, she's back and all the signs are present - lipsync, terrible fashion choices and even less voice in her tracks. Oh, yeah - Britney at 100%. Thankfully tired Madonna decided to give her a hand and put her on stage to at least pretend to be powerful and arty again. Talking about Madonna, are we really seeing this outfit?!
Seems to me that Madonna has fallen into the typical tired-old-queen situation. No offense - we all know she's Madge, she's mighty, she's hot, she's THE pop queen etc. But that doesn't excuse her obvious fashion misjudgment. Yes, she looks good on her latest photos but it's one thing to dress like you're twenty when Photoshop is about to really MAKE you 20 afterwards and another to dress like that when you're live on your tour. Again - no offense.
Btw, did I mention that Justin was also invited to perform with Madge after Britney? Hmm... a fifty-something queen, recovering junkie and Justin. I guess she needed the eyecandy.
I haven't seen their performance yet so I can't say how it was, but let us all hope it at least got under the spotlights. I doubt Madonna would let such an event not to be taped, so I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of it. Not as much as the 2003 kissing fair, but we're at least hoping for a good quality video on youtube.
Are we going to see more of Britney these days? Probably. Let's just hope she actually tries to sing for a change.

Denim Era

Okay, we've all seen this fashion disaster - putting your jeans in your shoes. Are they for real?
If you want to work the sexy, casual male look, you DO NOT wear your jeans like that. Now, correct me if I'm wrong but the jeans-inside-the-shoes kind of thing is a typical way for women to wear their pants? Of course, these days "being fashionable" means "being transsexual" but let's not get too excited.

Aside from the shoes, this particular pair of jeans is not bad - his legs look a little weird, but that's because of the way the model is standing. You should know though, that tight jeans are only to be worn by men who want to show something - nice legs, nice ass. So if you do not want to (or don't have anything to) show, please just stick to the classic type of jeans, who pretty much work for everyone. It's just that the tighter the clothing, the more "undressed" you are, you know? Each and every curve is given a little more attention and ... let's just say some curves need to be left in the dark, right? ;)
For most men, jeans are the most prominent feature of their wardrobe. Why? Well, let's see - you can wear them anytime, anywhere with anything. They are the perfect match to ... anything. However, there are a few jeans DO NOT's - faded jeans for example. Yes, they are usually great - when the fabric is a little lighter on certain places (ass, legs), but sometimes they don't look just faded, they look like some lame ass painter missed the wall and splashed white paint on them. Yes, sometimes it works, but most of the times it looks like a blind straight guy had picked your jeans. And that IS a bad thing ;)
Finding the perfect pair of jeans usually takes some time. Sometimes a lot of time, but it's worth it ;) I remember the first time I went shopping alone (without my mom) I think I was in 8th grade and I spent about 6 hours looking for jeans. And guess what - I didn't find anything I like. Of course, there were quite a few times when I said "Oh, these are my jeans!" and then something would come up - too tight around my ass, too short, too long, too .... blue?! Yes, I was the picky kind. However, these days, when I earn most of my money on my own, I decided that it's finally OK to spend a lot on clothing. I don't mean going shopping every day, I mean buying good, expensive clothes. Yes, it sounds superficial and all, but isn't it better to give a little more money and then have jeans that you really love and wear for years? And let's admit it - finding a decent pair of jeans that looks good on you, that has a good color and that will last more than 1-2 years for a good price is a little... impossible? Damn economy.
However, when you do find that perfect pair of jeans, it's usually hard to let go, so here are a few tips:
- It is very important that you pick the right size for you - the one that suits you the best. Jeans can be a friend AND a foe - if you pick the wrong size or style, they can make you look pretty bad.
- Wear them until they feel comfortable and take the shape of your legs. This can take quite some time, maybe even a year until they fit just right.
- Avoid washing them at all costs! From the moment you decide to wear jeans, "washing your jeans" is not just throwing them in the washing machine and dryer! Here's how to wash jeans the right way:
1. Prepare your jeans for washing by emptying the pockets and turning the jeans inside out.
2. Set your washing machine to a cold temperature and the gentle or hand wash cycle. Fill the machine with water and use the recommended amount of Woolite.
3. Once the machine has pre-filled with water, add your jeans to the wash.
4. Once the washing machine cycle has finished, promptly remove your jeans. Turn them right side out, and hang them by the waist with a two clip pant hanger.
5. Hang your jeans out of direct sunlight and let them air dry. Drying time will vary by depending on the climate in which you live, the current air temperature and humidity. To be on the safe side, plan on letting your jeans dry for at least a day and a half.

Simply sexy vol.2

6. Successful - they are handsome, in good shape, rich. But they also have the home, the man, the kids, the friends - dinner parties, warm-up parties, where they wear white suites and never spill wine on them. Yes, they are the successful gay people - on top of every industry. Call it envy, but people actually hate them - is it because they simply hate all successful people or is it particularly because they are gay? Beats me.
7. Party boys - always smiling, always surrounded by people, by music. Party boys are usually rather young looking, fun and most of the times addicted to something, rich kids. Well, not always rich but it's definitely not easy to keep up with your reputation and that costs a lot - going to clubs every night, wearing nice clothes etc.

Now, let's go back to where we started - the simply sexy guys. Call them Gods, call them Angels, call them Vibrators. I call them bitches! Yes, we all hate the type of guys who don't really do anything to look good and they still look fucking amazing. Of course, the bad thing is not that they look good, it's that we (the rest of the world) have to spend countless hours, lots of money and nerves on looking at least half this good. And in the end it's them on the covers, it's them fucking the entire gay population and it's them who get all the sexy looks on the street.
Oh, I guess God made them for a reason - eyecandy!

Simply sexy

Okay, let's say it - there guys who are simply hot. It doesn't matter what they're wearing, what they're saying or what they do. Nobody cares if they are smart or rich or even nice - it only takes one look at them to say "I would let him do anything he wants to do!"
Let's take Gregory Capra for example - now, please don't tell me he's not that hot, because we both know it's a lie - you wouldn't want a visit from the evil tooth fairy, would you? (don't ask)
Now, there are basically a few types of guys:
1. Wannabe's - these are the not-so-good looking men, who TRY to be hot with cheap tricks like doing the tough walk or using too much hair products, combined with an almost believably casual look and a few jokes in their pocket.
2. Nerds - they just don't care, do they? Nerdy guys are those who can't spot a fashion disaster even if it's about to suck their dick. They often look a few years older but not because of too much muscles or facial (and body) hair, but because they are usually dressed like a middle-aged Maths teacher. Now, there is nothing wrong about liking Math, but is it really necessary to have to remind someone that God gave us TWO eyebrows for a reason?
3. Fashion boys - fit, fun and pretty. Always dressed strictly according to fashion, always looking good, clean and sometimes a little too good. How to spot them? Well, they travel in packs of two or three, usually carrying shopping bags (I hope you don't think they're full of groceries) and most likely being the loudest people on the street.
4. Straight 'till death to them part - now, there is a kind we all know. The ones that use every single chance to remind the world just how straight they are (even if sometimes they are not). Now, within this category are most of the "Gay-homophobic guy" situations which, I'm sure, we all hate.
5. Sissy boys - "...did you just call him FAT?! Okay... OMG.... FYI I am THE most fabulous piece of ash you're ever gonna see!" Sure, sister, we all know that type - don't you think they're cute?
