real life gossip girl?

I have no shame, I watch reality TV. Why fight it? Sure I watch “real” shows, like Nurse Jackie, Weeds, Dexter etc, but nothing keeps me as glued as watching another persons daily life. Now more than ever, our socializing habits have turned our generation into these rabid information hounds. Who better to bring me into someone else’s “world” than Bravo, with their new show NYC Prep. New York will forever fascinate me, & these kids make Gossip Girl look like child’s play. These people are not characters, they are the privileged, rich, spoiled & sometimes bubble trapped offspring of the Upper West & East Side. Although they can be bratty at times, they speak the truth when it comes to the realities of money, fame & “who you know”. They can sound a bit “abrasive” & we sound “jealous”  saying they are terrible people…but is it because a part of us, would want to see what it’s like? Umm yeah…I would trade this bag of ramen for an STK dinner any day…poor is not cool.

Monica is…a sucker for hearts.

As a dedicated “follower of fashion”, I love combing through magazines & pretending to even think about purchases things that are worth more than my car, my apt & the things inside of it, plus me. When did shoes, bags, & clothes get so expensive? Ehh..anyways upon my window-web-shopping, my heart fluttered a bit at the thought of wearing these Red Heart Converse from Play by Comme des Garςon. They have hearts with googly eyes! They are not available just yet but I’m sure these sweet kicks will become highly collectable! By the way Joan Shepp’s website has an amazing aray of ecletic designerswish there was a store here in LA.

hearts galore

Monica is…looking foward to 500 days of Zooey’s oufits!

I cant wait to see this movie because of course it’s going to be adorable & smothered in love, but I really wanna see Zooey’s outfits! (JGL too, I guess…what can I say…I love clothes!) I can already see myself watching this in the movie theater, taking style notes from her costume changes. She couldn’t be more perfect…& by the way it’s that Hall & Oates song from the earlier keyboard cat post! Just another reason to smile!

Monica is…currently in pinup nostalgia.

I have a fondness for all things old or retro, & love when somebody embodies that in their personal style. Miss Rockwell DeVil-The Original Pinup Villain is a saucy gal with an unmistakable look, plus brains & talent to match. A successful hair & make-up artist in her own right (30 Seconds To Mars, Mitzy & Co, VH1’s Rock of Love, etc) Miss Rockwell’s own shots are sure to inspire a little “DeVil” in you… Here are some of my favorites…
