HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY

World renowned Jimmy Choo celebrates it 15 year anniversary this year!

Thanks to the help of (fictional character) Carrie Bradshaw, and the sexually and emotionally frustrated girls of Sex And the City, Jimmy Choo footwear has become a household name to every fashionista in the world.

And so to celebrate, they have released 'The Jimmy Choo coffee table book'

Now i have to be perfectly honest... I'm not a fan of strappy sandal shoes, so Choo's don't always tickle my spot, but they've had several marketing campaigns that have slyly changed my mind, and made me want to reconsider and blow my monthly salary on a pair - so cudos to you Choo! so I'm posting a few of my favourites ad campaigns (that i can't yet afford *sigh*)














VERSACE OFF THE RACK

Yay!!! We Finally get a sneek peek at the Versace collection for H&M. In stores from Nov 17...
Who else is counting down besides me?!?!

RHI RHI SKINS OUT IN THE 80s

I LOOOOOVE THIS VIDEO!!! #thatisall

Not only is the video of an indirect reflection of her 'whirlwind' relationship with Chris brown (with help of C.Breezy look-a-like, Dudley O'Shaughnessy), but also looks like a tribute to the 1990s rave scene in an episode of 'Skins'.

Watch video below...








Can i just say that this girl looks amaaaaaazing!!!

SIN NO EVIL

Errrmmmm... i have to say that i'm slightly concerned about Angela's new PETA campaign - i love the fact that she's a vegetablist (vegitarian) and is trying to promote it... but it use regligion and 'the bible' to promote this.

Doesn't the bible say something along the lines of "Thou shalt not sell your body" .. and that's exactly what she's doing, all in teh name of saving a few cattle and chicken!

Wonder what would her dad aka 'Rev Run' said about this?!

TOP 5... Looks from Men's Fashion Week 2011

Milan & Paris' a/w 2011 Collection... left me speechless, I can't even grade. So i just threw together the five that made the most impact on me [or that I could see my future husband wearing]


Burberry Prorsum


Emporio Armani


Salvatore Ferragamo


Trussardi 1911



ok, i wasn't feeling these looks too much, but they definately made an impact.


Paul Smith - I know bright block colours are in but this just made me think i was watching a Pet Shop Boys Video.



Louis Vuitton - Man Bags were one thing but Man Clutches, I'm not completely sold on those yet... although LV does make them look mighty appealing... hmm...

RASTAMOUSE


There's bit a lot of whoo-haa about the new children's animated show that launched in the UK several days ago, called 'Rastamouse'.

The show airs on CBeebies - the show seems to be a hit with the kids and then there's been a bit of a mixbag reaction from the concerning adults about racism and cultralism, etc

Rastamouse originally started as a children's book, were written written in rhyme with a Caribbean accent, by Genevieve Webster (an author and illustrator) and Michael De Souza, a Rastafari swimming instructor!


The show features an all-mouse Reggae band named "Rastamouse and Da Easy Crew" who also indulge in crime fighting (a bit like Batman... more like 'Josie & The Pussycats'). The stories show how people can get on and solve problems, such as those who commit crimes show remorse and explain why they did what they did, and promise not to do it again, then all can be 'easy' again.

Just because Rastamouse wears a Rasta hat, sports dreadlocks and has a Jamaican accent (voiced by Reggie Yates, a current Radio 1 DJ and actor/presenter), there's nothing racist about it!

I think, we as a 'second' generation (I think that's what we are) growing up in the western world aren't exactly used to seeing other cultures portrayed so freely on our TV screens - we grew up with the likes of 'He-man', 'Sherah', 'Postman Pat', 'Fireman Sam', 'Family Ness', 'Penny Crayon', etc... you get the drift, and it has probably thrown a few people off a bit.




We can't be outraged at the fact that there is an entire show teaching children the diversities of culture around us, with good values that teaches kids the difference between right and wrong, especially since many people would be outraged at the fact that in living in the 21st century, in this 'day and age' that we didn't have one before!

This may even spawn a TV series about 'Femi the Nigerian Jungle Cat' or 'Fei Ying the Chinese Panda'... the animated world is our oyster!!!
