Beauty Lessons From Tranny’s

Late last week news came out that tranny-mess Amanda Lepore was releasing a make-up line. I guess for other tranny-messes or for those who want to look like a tranny?!

But it may be awhile before the cosmetic line is released, SO here’s a list of tips of how you too can look like Amanda Lepore…

1. No eyebrows

If you have eyebrows-shave them! Then take a pencil and draw an eyebrow of your choice. Most trannies go with the thin arched eyebrow that makes you look like you’ve had an eyebrow lift.

2. Blowfish Lips

If budget permits get as many collagen injections as you legally are allowed to get. Yes, these injections will set you back a ways, but you can’t get the same look with out them. If budget doesn’t permit, take some red Play Doh and craft your own blowfish lips.

3.Fake Eyelashes

God may have given you two sets of eyelashes, but those were just a starter set. Go down to your local drugstore and pick up two or three sets of fake eyelashes. Get some glue and layer each set over each other. Be sure not to get the glue in your eye.

Nobody wants to lose an eye in the process of looking like Amanda Lepore.

If you are having trouble knowing weather you look ‘tranny’ enough just ask yourself this: ‘Do I look like a blow-up doll’? If the answer is yes, then you have succusfuly made yourself up like Amanda Lepore!

Fashion Fruit-1 Amanda Lepore-0

We held a small event of our own last night at Lola’s in SOHO and couldn’t have been happier wiht the outcome. We met a bunch of cool designers as well as other bloggers and fashionistas. There were good drinks, good food and good friends all there to talk fashion and relax. We will be hosting another one soon so keep an eye out for more information.

We headed over to POP Burger for a quick bite and a drink. On the way I decided to wear Rebecca’s super cool derby hat, and once we got there we couldn’t help but notice this little Agyness Deyn wannabe…Look what you have done Agyness!

We ended the night supporting the has been Amanda Lepore. Yes I said it, Has been. You can argue and she isn’t but with the way you voted on our last Amanda Lepore article you more or less sealed the deal. To top it off poor Amanda had no one at her party. We stopped by quickly to be shocked at the lack of trannys, homosexuals, and regular party goers alike. There were a few stragglers and a monk. It was a sad sight. Poor Amanda.

Are We Over Amanda Lepore?

So we recently posted an event that Amanda Lepore was hosting and it quickly became our most negatived post on Fashion Indie. We were hoping for some comments on why so many disliked New York’s most famous transexual, but alas, none of you mofo’s posted comments. So we’re wondering what’s up indies?

Is Amanda Lepore overrated?  Are we tired of her?  Or is there something else behind her negative post?

Amanda Lepore Shines/Freaks Me The Flip Out In Heatherette For MAC Promo

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTHIxESSIX0[/youtube]

This new video for the Heatherette for MAC collection is thoroughly freaky and caused me some nightmares when I watched it without sound last night. Something about someone smearing pink lipstick all over their body automatically triggers the freak the flip out button in my brain.

Not sure if it makes me want to pick up of stick of Tranny Gloss, but it does make me want to do some traveling on the roof of a car.

Daniel Saynt Asks : Should Men Be Allowed on a Womans Runway?

Before you read too much into this post and begin labeling me a “homophobe”, let me pre-fence this post by stating my view. I believe that every man and woman has the right to choose the way they want to live, as long as the way they live does not impose on the rights of others.  Sexuality is more than a choice, it is a right that each of us deserve.

Now on to the juicy bits…

This fashion season was strung full of the type of shows you’d only normally see at a very special night at The Cock (NYC nightclub for those not in the know).  Men paraded around in womans underwear as the line between androgyny and sexuality were crossed to produce a metaphoric smorgasbord of shock and awe over the sillohettes of masculintity taking over the long delicate curves of the female staple, the dress. It was seen at Marcos Hall (his invitation feature Andre J wearing one of his signature looks) and at New York Couture (a show we sponsored and fully supported). Whether is be drag queen or cross dresser, tranny or something altogether different, it seemed like amongst the indie designers, it was finally okay to be “a boy in a dress”.  

But was it really “okay”?  Did the looks that came clogging down the runway in size 14 heels really appeal to the end user, the woman who would eventually wear the dress?  I’m still looking for answers on this one, but it seems that the few women I spoke to displayed a general disinterest or disconnect when a man is rocking a look that was made for her body.

Andre J walking Marcos Hall 

Andre J, the bearded, “not a tranny, not a drag queen” model, has been getting a ton of attention for his over the top persona.  Running with a crew that includes Amanda Lepore, the Heatherette and David LaChapelle darling, who lost her “twig and berries” years ago, Andre J seems to be a rising star in the game, making the cover of French Vogue and recently landing on Confessions of a Casting Directors Top 25 of 2007 list.  

But in an industry where the attitude is “the less you see of a model the better”, will a 6 foot tall man with a beard really help sell a dress or will he just distract from the real purpose of a fashion show? 

 I guess the real question comes down to where or not the looks are “spectacle” or “spectacular”. If a designer creates a collection that is truly amazing, does it really mater how it’s presented on the runway?  Or should a designer play it safe and stick with the classic mantra, “let boys be boys, and girls be girls” to keep the runway free from confusion?  Weigh in and discuss indies cause personally I feel that with Heatherette down and out, it may be a very long time before a boy makes it back onto the runways of Bryant Park. Are you for or against men in dresses on the fashion runways?
