Bryanboy: Le Superstar Fabuleux - I'm so gay I sweat glitter!

Aliona Doletskaya, Vogue Russia Editor-in-Chief

Aliona Doletskaya

She's got a British accent but she's Russian. She likes to drive cars! She's human! She's nice! She's real! She's just like us! Got 26 minutes to spare? Check out this full-length feature of Aliona Doletskaya who celeberates 10 years of tenure this year as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Russia. I love Aliona. I really do. Say what you want about the "baby Vogues" but Vogue Russia, like Vogue Paris, to me, is "IT".

Month after month after month, she offers original content, she uses models for her covers and her editorials are very bold, strong and in your face. Just the way I like it. Soo refreshing from the sanitized, repetitive and dull "let's get a blond actress promoting a movie and put her in a white dress" formula by the usuals.

I mean really, any editor who puts Natasha Poly on the cover two months in a row deserves her stripes, yes?

I love Aliona!

PS. Check out Alber Elbaz towards the end of this video. And to quote:

"Sometimes you know when I'm, kind of, on... on a hard day, I wake up the next day saying that i'm quite happy doing what i do because how many people have the ability to have a dream and to have a team of people around that realize their dream? that's fabulous."

Stop what you are doing right now and analyze.

So tell me buddy, how does Rachel Bilson (in Chanel wayfarers) make you feel?

Tanya

Tanya

Meet the latest addition to my coterie of craziness. Quick: someone call PETA!

I visited my grandma over the weekend. While there, I went to a store to buy cigarettes and this little white kitten kept meowing and meowing at my direction. I picked up the little pussy, gave it a little stroke and the store owner asked if I want it. I said yes! I know I'm gay alright but I also have a weakness for pussies. So I took her home with me! Haha!

I named her Tanya because she is SOO white and her tail is so long! She reminded me of Tanya Dziahileva. However, the more I look at her face the more I'm thinking "Sasha" (she does look like an oversized lab rat) and alas, it's been 72 hours and it's already late for a name change. Ah well.

I couldn't do it.

I couldn't do it.

There goes my photo-choppage skills. Can you believe I spent two hours trying to 'fix' this photograph? I wanted to make a seamless photo with me in different poses but this looks soo badly chopped if you know what I mean. Damn Adobe Fireworks.

BTW, I love Michael Angel!

ARE THEY ON A FUCKING ROLL OR WHAT?

ARE THEY ON A FUCKING ROLL OR WHAT?

THERE IS SOMEONE OVER AT BARNEYS.COM UPDATING SHIT ON THE WEEKEND! I SWEAR TO GOD I DIDN'T SEE THIS PAIR BEFORE.

SHIT. SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT.

I apologize for the expletives but UGHHHHHHHHH.

EDIT/UPDATE: OK. I NEED THERAPY. I NEED TO TAKE MY MIND OFF SHOES. I'M GONNA THINK GOOD, WONDERFUL HAPPY THOUGHTS. I'M GONNA THINK BB BAG IN BABY BLUE. I'M GONNA STAY AWAY FROM BARNEYS LIKE I STAYED AWAY FROM SEVEN NEW YORK ALA THAT RAF SIMONS SANDALS MAN. LADIES AND GAYS, THIS IS MY DESKTOP WALLPAPER. TILED!

That's all.

Pierre Hardy Red Suede Hi-Top Sneakers

Pierre Hardy Red Suede Hi-Top Sneakers

Bloody red, I mean, bloody hell! The amazing people at Pierre Hardy and Barney's are not making it easier for me anyone. Can I be honest here? Like, can I be totally, 104% honest? I loveD my metallic PH hi-top sneakers alright but I felt buyers remorse when I saw that stylish Parisian kid over at The Sartorialist. In fact, I don't even want to wear them. I'm done, dunzo, done done dunzo dunzo mumbo jumbo dunzo with those damn metallic shoes.

I'm bored out of my skull so here I am, checking out the Barney's website once and again. Lo and behold came these beautiful red suede hi-top sneakers and it has my bloody bollocking name stamped on it.

Well look at that. Sumptuous suede with patent leather bits. Gorgeous!!

Unfortunately, buying them is, like, totally, 104% OUT of the question because I have bills to pay and I can't afford them now. I mean really, who wants to spend $500 bucks plus tax, shipping and what have you, on yet another pair of shoes knowing that some jailbait minor child/bitch troll from hell (ok ok I'm not hatin', promise!) will prolly get photographed in em AGAIN? I'll pass.

Now who wants to sponsor me some Massaro or John Lobb? Can I see a show of hands? Anybody? No? Last time I've checked, I've got GREAT oral skills. Perhaps we could do some sort of a barter arrangement?

I think I've gone mad. I've said it before and I'll say it once again. This shoe obsession has gone WAYYYY too far.

PS. I'm a size 41 or 41.5 in men's or size 8 American. Thank you.

Blasphemous: Ashanti in a Balenciaga Dress

Blasphemous

Feast your eyes on this series of photos courtesy of them fashin fags. From runway to reality, check-out Ashanti in a Balenciaga frock...

On the left is my girl, the one and only Natasha Poly werking it at Balenciaga.

Meanwhile, the incredibly chic and svelte Cate Blanchett shows you how to wear it properly.

Who do you think wore the Balenciaga dress best?

BTW I'm not hating. Like what I said, I'm an equal opportunity lover and I love everyone regardless of their size. However, some dresses, like skinny jeans, are simply NOT meant to be worn by women of certain body types. Look how Ashanti stretched the whole thing out! I can't believe it! It's Balenciaga for god's sake!

Handpainted HVBAO Sneakers

Handpainted HVBAO Sneakers

Sometime last year, one of my female friends invited me to have coffee with her gay couple friends visiting from Los Angeles. I brought my ginormous Goyard blue croisiere at that time and one of the gays innocently questioned the authenticity of my bag (which is real, btw) by asking me "ayyy fiax??" (translation: oh is that fake?).  Since then, the word "FIAX" (which is third world gay lingo for fake...pronounced as "fee-yaxe") stuck in my head and I always laugh a little whenever I use that word because you should've seen the way he said it. There he was (hello Cedric I miss you!!), a big broly muscle mary man with an even bigger, brolyer, more muscular LAPD (yep) boyfriend, using the word FIAX... LOL.

Speaking of FIAX, check out these handpainted, made in China, FIAX Chuck Taylors. I hate it when people watermark their photos, especially retailers. Ugh.

Aren't they cute? Come to think of it, everyone's doing Chuck Taylors even Dior friggin Homme and Lanvin have their own versions of the classic American sneaker. I know I'm too old for shoes like these but at only US$38 (yep, thirty eight dollars!!! cheap!!!) per pair, sorry, but, I couldn't resist! They also offer FREE international express shipping for all orders $150 and above so you can get your order in just a few days.

Click here, here and here. There's more HERE. Look up "HVBAO" sneakers. Sizing is unisex (and European)... just use their size chart for the right conversion.

What do you think? Yay or nay? I think they're too cute and I certainly wouldn't mind lounging around the house in those.

Thanks Jakthong for the lovely piece and also, thank you so much, Bangkok Post. You guys rock!

Quick Update

Quick Update

Oh what a week!

You know what I realized? When a family member's health is at stake, the entire world goes into a screeching halt and NOTHING and I mean NOTHING matters. Everything else is trivial. Anyway, my dad's surgery went very well and he's now recovering. Turns out they had to remove his appendix. They're also doing a biopsy and we won't get the results in a few more days. They also found a small cyst in one of the kidneys but it's according to the doc, it's congenital. However, everything is fine and dandy, at this point, we're relieved. It may take some time before he goes back to normal but it's all good.

Meanwhile, our next-door neighbours had a small gathering last night. Apparently it's been 40 days since they lost the man to lung cancer. How fast time flies eh?  I told my friend earlier, man, we're all getting old.

Again, thanks everyone for the well-wishes. Thank you so much. I'm gonna do my best to reply individually to all your messages but if I missed anyone, please accept my thanks.

Now let's bring some normalcy back around here!

Peace, love and Bottega Veneta.
