Amber Rose Still Trying To Be A Real Model

Lily QJune 21, 2010 //

If nothing else, Amber Rose is chock full of perseverance. She’s been going for it hard both with her strange style and her attempts at a modeling career since she became Kanye West‘s ambiguous female friend a year or so ago. The most recent play in her apparently ill-fated search for supermodel-dom is a spread in YRB magazine. Head capped in a cheap-o wig that makes her look sort of like Marilyn Monroe on crack, Rose works it in various sparkly dresses and crazy faces. More images after the jump.

Friends And Family Gather For Alexander McQueen’s Funeral

Lily QFebruary 25, 2010 //

The service for close friends and family for designer Alexander McQueen took place this morning in the U.K. and, based on images from outside the ceremony, it’s the best-dressed funeral ever. While that may seem like an odd thing to comment on in light of the tragic circumstances surrounding his death, given that McQueen dedicated his life to beauty, we can’t help but feel that it’s the sort of detail that would make a man like him happy. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: McQueen truly was a design force to be reckoned with and he will be missed.

Though today is his funeral, the fashion industry will say their final goodbye on March 9, when his show is staged in Paris. [Elle UK] Keep reading »

Janet Jackson Makes First Public Appearance At BET Awards

This video gave me the mega Monday sadsies. Last night, just a few days after her brother’s death, Janet Jackson stepped out to give thanks to his fans at the BET Awards. For a minute, she was able to keep her composure. “To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family,” she said. “And he will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love. Thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much.” Then her voice got shaky. Although a few days have passed, his death is still evoking sadness of epic proportions. [CNN] Keep reading »

Depressed Women Do It More

SimchaMarch 26, 2008 //

Hold on to your Prozac, because women who suffer from depression have 1/3 more sex than their “normal” counterparts. Finally, some news to cheer up my sad sisters! A study of 107 women, published in the British Medical Journal, found that when you’re down, you put out — no matter whether you’re in a committed relationship or ho-ing the road alone. Dr. Sabura Allen, who headed the study at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, says, “When people are depressed they feel more insecure about their relationships and concerned that their partner may not care about them or find them valuable.” So they overcompensate to feel secure by getting naked, and as often as possible. As for the single girls they studied, researchers found they were more inclined to let loose and have adventurous casual sex. They make depression sound like Spring Break, without the hassle of traveling! [NY Daily News] Keep reading »
