F*ck Miley Cyrus, the beauty of Angelina Jolie, even at a young age, is undeniable!

I suppose I should think it’s endearing that Brad Pitt was willing to dress up like a character from the children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba for Halloween, but he looks like a giant orange Q-Tip. Angelina Jolie went as the walking dead, Shiloh was a jet fighter, Zahara was Batgirl and Maddox was a dead soldier (eek). The youngest and Pax were nowhere to be found. What do you guys think of this Q-Tip with underwear on the outside?

Apparently there’s a lot of controversy going on with the Gucci’s lately surrounding a bio that’s in the works (starring Angelina Jolie..oooh). Patrizia Reggiani is upset that she may be portrayed poorly in the plot-in-question, the murder of her husband Maurizio Gucci, which Reggiani is currently serving a 26-year-sentence for.  Maurizio’s cousin, Patrizia Gucci (not to be confused with his wife Patrizia) feels betrayed by producer Ridley Scott’s wife Giannina Facio who spent time with the Gucci’s and may be spreading rumors…Patrizia Gucci claimed:

“Scott had assured us that it would not be a scandalistic movie” and also, “This is not an authorized movie and we will try to block it if it is offensive.” (Variety)

Maurizio Gucci was murdered in 1995 after hiring Tom Ford, and then unknown but now mainstream designer, and had just relaunched the brand when he was gunned down by 3 killers, one of which included his wife’s fortune teller (scandalous!!). Never fear Gucci fans, Patrizia Guccia says:

“I will write a book about the Guccis to say who they really are. And I will give Scott a copy, in hopes that his movie will never be released.”

Pure Gucci Mane-ia over there…

“A handshake is all I can handle from people who aren’t close to me,” Angie recently confessed to the British magazine Stylist. “I have no idea why it is.”

There are thousands, no, probably millions of movies out there, and we definitely haven’t seen them all, but we’ve come up with a list of movies that we have seen that we think have awesome style.  We aren’t going to be cliche and pick the ‘Sex and the City Movie,’ or ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’ because those are givens.  These are just a few that you may not have thought of (in no particular order):

 

 

1. The Golden Compass- Nicole Kidman is so killer in this movie. All of the floor length, fur-lined coats and the glamourous dresses are to die for.

 

2. Loser- So much 90s grunge, so much goth from Mena Suvari, so many motorcycle pads. We love it.

 

3. Once Upon A Time In Mexico- Enrique pre-mole removal days+Johnny Dep post 21 Jump Street days = good movie. This is a great good cop, bad cop flick with Spanish-infused styling.

 
4. Romeo and Juliet- The prime Leo days, the costuming for this modern-day Romeo and Juliet film is flawless. Minus the sole patch

 

5. Rear Window- This is one of my favorite films ever, detection at it’s finest, and tons of old-school glamour (Grace Kelly is a dream!). This trailer isn’t too good, check out the film for the full effect

 

6. Black Dahlia- Old school glam, total pinup style. We love Scarlett Johansson in red lipstick.

7. Gangs of New York- Leo does it again! (and how sweet is that part when all of those guys have top hats on)

 

8. Cruel Intentions- Ultimate country club kids, plus Sarah Michelle Geller wears a ton of sexy lingerie.

9. Sky Captain- I’m a huge fan of women being badasses. Gwenyth is still total glam and sexy while being a badass, and Angelina is just, well, being as hot as she is in every other movie.

 

10. Domino-Kiera Knightly as a bounty hunter that still wears red lipstick despite being a total badass? Win.

 

11. Hedwig and the Angry Inch- We had to include one more on this list because Hedwig has the craziest rock-tranny style ever! Not only that, the members of ‘her’ band make great rock stars (for the 80s), and then there is her little goth boyfriend.  All sorts of styles going on in this film, and all sorts of greatness

 

What films do you think have the best style?

For ever day that Brad Pitt gets older, Angie seems to get one year younger…not too many people can pull off a full leather dress (this one courtesy of Micheal Kors) and still look amazingly confident and flawless!

After enduring 9 months of pregnancy, spending thousands of dollars on preparing a baby room and struggling to pick the perfect, not too bizarre, not too common, baby name, the last thing a parent wants is an ugly child. While some celebrity kids look like they’ve taken a shovel to the face (cough…Rumer Willis), here is a list of the top ten, model status, celebrity children. If not on the silver screen, these kids will most likely end up on a runway: 

1.) PRESLEY- son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber 

2.) ROMEO- son of Victoria and David Beckham 

3.) NAHLA- daughter of Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry

4.) KINGSTON- son of Gewn Stefani and Gavin Rossdale 

5.) SHILOH- daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

6.) SURI- daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise

7.) APPLE- daughter of Gwenyth Paltrow and Chris Martin

8.) JADEN- son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith 

9.) VIOLET- daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner 

10.) HENRY- son of Heidi Klum and Seal

We all know Angelina has long been a fan of Emporio Armani, but rumor has it Armani now has a deal in the works with the actress; Angelina is expected to market the company’s new fragrance. What’s the best part? It’s possible we’ll see Ms. Jolie and David Beckham side by side.

We might always relate models like Helena Christensen, Angelina Jolie, Naomi Campbell to the definition of “beauty”, tall, skinny, long hair and angelic conditions.

You can definitely find pretty girls anywhere in town, from Bondi Beach to small alleys of Paris, but only a few in the world resemble real beauty, which is often as its best removed from glamour and adornment.

Beauty is more than just one type and that it comes in different shapes and sizes as well. “Many might find pretty is the same as beauty” quoted by Alexandra Shulman, Editor of British Vogue who recently wrote in ‘Beauty British Now”, “but actually their enemies, as the blandness and acceptability of pretty cancels out the greatness of beauty.”.

Emma Pei

Most people will define Chinese top-model Du Juan’s round face, creamy flawless skin, and gorgeous bone structure as the “real” beauty of China, less would look at rising star Emma Pei’s alien-like quality and immediately comes to mind that she is strikingly beautiful.

What majority thinks is beautiful is always the right answer, which is wrong! Embracing individuality is the real beauty as people like Kate Moss have challenged and created a whole new beauty aesthetic. She was the very few in the early 1990’s who were different, oppose to Linda, Christy and Naomi who had the bodies and polished stance.

Kate defined a new type of beauty that is recognized and accepted now in this generation. She defines beauty, as beauty demands a kind of originality that makes you pause and admire. Beauty is not being perfect, as the strange and peculiar quality makes beauties what they are.

Since then, there have been models who have epitomised a moment, like Lily Cole who almost didn’t make the list, as bookers find her over dolly. Models and people like her depict a more fragile, bizarre, unusual specimen of beauty, the technical term – ‘Alien Beauty’.

Sudanese goddess Alek Wek immediately broke the Western beauty standards and blew the fashion industry away, as she dominates the runway from Galliano to Calvin Klein. Polley Fey is an icon in defining Alien Beauty, as she conquers the fashion stage without sacrificing a bit of her individuality. In the 90’s Fey was one of the biggest models in the fetish scene, as she appears frequently on Torture Garden fliers.

Sasha Vs Gemma

The fashion industry have mistaken model Sasha Pivovarova as Australian gem Gemma Ward. Sasha started off in the industry with just negative feedback, no one liked her. She is more than just a Gemma-clone; the fact that the crowd sees them alike is so ironic.

I have found indie model/music agency label very interesting to interview, as they only represent 20 models and a couple fellow musicians oppose to larger agencies who casts more commercial girls who could earn the cash for the company. As I interviewed their Model Manager, Lance Labreche, we both discuss about how the fashion industry have adapt the notion of ‘beauty’ in the last years. As he comments that “The standards of beauty tend to swing back-and-forth like a pendulum along a certain amount of seemingly already agreed upon parameters”.

Part of Lance’s job as a model manager is to balance what consumer wants and how to introduce new forms of beauty that as he says “can increase a particular demographics size and scope for the fashion entertainment and scope we service”.

Away from the fashion industry and yet, in general women and even men still gage themselves against an image of impossible perfection. Nothing is really going to change unless people accept that “flaws make you beautiful”, and that there is more than one type of beauty in the world.

Not being blonde and blue eyed, five foot tall, slender with perfect silky skin would not put you in the category of being ugly. ‘Ugly’ is a terminology used for those who don’t accept diversity. Some people might be more beautiful than others, but no one is truly ugly. Brutality, cruelness and war is real ugly.

Our eyes have always blindfolded our hearts, as we always look at the physical beauty but not necessarily see the beauty quality of a person through their personality or accept another kind of beauty.

True beauty should be more widely recognized by those shallow people out there who just go for looks, former top model Cheryl Tiegs also recognises that “true beauty really does have to do with an inner light that does shine”. Even though looks might play an important part of where you stand in the community, without a positive and genuine personality, a person will not go far.

Even though I may not be a fan of Cate Blanchett , I admire her message ‘you don’t need plastic surgery even though you are 39 years old that starts to gain wrinkles’. Cate does not intend to alter her natural beauty, as she felt that “one could not run away from the passing of time, which leaves its marks inevitably, even if one’s skin or one’s mind”.

No offence but Mrs. Playboy a.k.a. Pamela Anderson used to be beautiful and had striking features before she had plastic surgery. Her cheeks are bulbous, her lips are insanely puffy and her skin waxen and shiny. We should not blame her actions, as this world can be quite crucial to you. But people should consider and try to be who they are. They should not change because of other people, even though if someone told you that you look disgusting, if you find yourself beautiful, that’s the most important.

Not long time ago, I was the kid who read fairytales. Most of the books describe heroes who were handsome and heroines who were beautiful. Since then, I believed that one of the qualifications to be a great person is to be “beautiful”. Time to time, as a teenager, I will look at the mirror, comparing myself to the models from Fashion TV and say “why am I so fat?” or “why am I ugly and they aren’t?”

Labreche reckons that “Ugliness tends to come from the same thought process as beauty”, as I question him if he feels ugly or not and when? He responds with a big yes, “I would have to say, yes, there are times when I feel ugly. I would even go a step further and admit that there are times when ugliness becomes an active choice or impulse”.

At 17 and half years old, writing this article right now, I am fully confident to tell everyone that I have realized outer beauty was not so important to make someone good. Though I somehow understand why people could be so materialistic and depthless. Shouldn’t we accept who we are as an individual, isn’t our natural “beauty” enough to fulfill ourselves?

If others can be confident, why can’t you. The beauty looked at with the eyes doesn’t last forever. Or should I say, you should now try to accept the new generation of beauty.

Nine Daughters and a Stereo are created by Eva Gödel the Art Director of the model agency, and Kira Bunse prominent freelance fashion photographer who runs the company together. Agency named after a David Bowie/Iggy Pop song lyric and originally conceived as a thesis project, now becomes one of the most interesting and successful agency based in Germany. They’re casting methods are different than other fellow competitors, they don’t walk around shopping malls and find the next “it” girl, but they target to a niche of poor, young and pale youngster, mainly guys who dwell the streets of Germany.

From my own observations and from the response of Bunse and Gödel, we discovered that Europe in particular embraces diversity. Diversity of humans, got more open, both of them said that “There is a bigger variety of looks and styles and personality got more important”. Girls don’t find macho jocks in high school that attractive anymore; ever since Adam Brody introduced Nerd Chic and made girls go crazy about their nerdy boyfriends.

Gödel have made a really simple yet powerful statement that “Beauty is relative. It is a subjective experience – Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Time changed and passed and like Europe and other parts of the world we should embrace who we are and openness guarantees a long term beauty.

Can you believe your eyes? Angelina is wearing red lipstick, AND her dress isn’t black. I’m amazed, AND in love (with the dress not her).

You probably know that Angelina Jolie did some modeling as a teenager. A new batch of vintage Angie has surfaced, and she has miraculously looked the same (stunning! but maybe with a different nose these days…) for 15 years.

Not sure if this is news worthy but Hollywood is a buzz this morning with reports that Heidi Klum is pregnant… oh, and so is Angie!

No doubt about it, Angie is the world’s most beautiful woman, in my opion. Apparetnly, I share that opinion with 58% of women…

Vanity Fair has named their most beautiful women of the year, stating: “Of the billions of women on this planet, only 19, we believe, could start wars, these modern-day Helens of Troy come from both hemispheres and include legends and ingenues, a Queen (Rania of Jordan) and a first Lady (Carla Bruni of France), and at least two bedmates of Leonardo DiCaprio (Bundchen and Bar Refaeli).

The numbers are in from magazine land and we have our list of best selling and worst selling celebrities. Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham, and Lauren Conrad on the cover sold the most issues in 2008. Issues with Nicole Kidman, Carrie Underwood, and Rachel Weisz on the cover sold the least. So if you want to make cash, skip out on Kidman and give us more Conrad.

Not many of the Hollywood “It” girls can pull off this look, but Kate Moss, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Angelina and Nicole Richie have all mastered the bad girl Winged Eyeliner. This is one makeup technique that just does not go out of style. Whether this look is messy or carefully executed it is always-GLAM ROCK.

The Winged Eyeliner look or cat eye which is what many girls call it, seems very hard to get right. So what’s the trick or should I say the tip to get this bad girl look?

You have to have a slant eyeliner brush, liquid liner shaped like a calligraphy pen or my favorite cream/gel eyeliner. The line should start as thin as possible on an angle and grow thicker toward the outer corner of your natural curve of your eye. I suggest taking the “wings” up to a few centimeters.

Another tip, but I can’t take credit for this one, is to trace a business card or an old credit card and angle your wings to match up. Makeup Artist Kathy Jeung likes to use this step when working with Gwen Stefani.

Just have a steady hand and practice, practice, practice. Try it out and let me know if it works for you.

Here’s another weird Valentine’s gift–

Micro-sculptor Willard Wigan created what is reportedly “the world’s first sculpture in lipstick.” The two tubes were sculpted in the likenesses of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The lipstick duo is up for auction on British ebay, with the proceeds benefiting The Breast Cancer Campaign. Auction ends Feb. 19!
