Would you wear...Blue Lipstick like Amber Rose and Ke$ha?


Amber Rose is one to push the envelope when it comes to Fashion and Beauty, so we weren't surprised to see her rocking blue lips over the weekend.

As Ferocia witnessed in person, Ke$ha also rocked the blue lipstick look when she performed at the G-Shock party.



The look is not exclusive to celebrities, either. Blue lips were spotted on the Louis Vuitton runway and gray lips were seen on the Doo.Ri runway.




Can they venture from runway to reality? I'm not so sure.

Sure it's an edgy, fun color that guarantees people give you a second look. But it reminds me too much of hypothermia for me to fully embrace it.

What do you think? Would you wear it?

GLAM OR SHAM?: Chris Brown's Louis Vuitton "Kente" Scarf and Leopard Print Sneakers at the Takers Premiere





Chris Brown's stylist must have it out for him. After performing onstage in man capris, he showed up on the red carpet of the Takers L.A. Premiere looking a dusty fool.

Yes, Glamazons, he's wearing a Louis Vuitton scarf that brings to mind the Kente fabric my uncle wears during Kwanzaa ceremonies. (Doesn't he look like he smells like incense? Nag Champa?).

As for those leopard print sneakers, unless it's a tacky, printed Ronald Isley fur (<---kidding!), I am not a supporter of animal print on a man. It's too feminine and fetishized to come off sexy on anything other than a fierce woman. Do you agree?

And to add insult to injury, Chris, you threw on your girlfriend's tight vest on top of a black button-down shirt. What is the purpose of the vest? You can't even see it unless you stare close enough; and it's cinching your waist. Who is responsible for this horrid outfit?

In other news, Chris purportedly has the best scene in the movie, which I can't wait to see! Let's hope he's wearing better clothes.

Men's Fly Fashion: Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys' His and Her Louboutins


When I first spotted Swizz Beatz' Christian Louboutin sneakers in a picture with Reggie Bush, I was in love. The black sneakers have high-end designer written all over them. They are adorned with gold studs for a polished, luxurious look. They're flashy, bold and attention-grabbing, but stylish at the same time.

Here's Reggie showing black and gold pride after winning the Superbowl with Louboutin sneakers of the same color scheme! Kim Kardashian twit pic'd this shot after the game.



In his red carpet shot with Alicia Keys, I realized they look even better on. The gold studs are an edgy and cool addition to Swizzy's laidback ensemble. Love!

And P.S. I live for the His and Her Louboutin shoe moment! My suede fringed Louboutin sandals next to my man's Louboutin sneakers? A match made in shoe heaven.



Since the internet has been buzzing with rumors that Swizzy was collaborating with Christian Louboutin on a sneaker line, I went to the source, the amazing PR lady that reps the designer, and she denied everything. She said the black studded sneaks are from Christian Louboutin's Spring 2010 collection, but didn't reveal how involved Swizz was in the design of the sneakers, if at all.

Too bad, because a collaboration might yield more fabulous designs like the shoes below. Swizzy's creative vision (he also paints as a hobby, per his tweets) and Christian Louboutin's design expertise could make for some amazing sneakers.

Here are some pics of Swizzy's son holding Louboutin sneakers. Swizz Beatz twitpic'd them with the caption, "Dad, can you and Christian make them for kids too please?" That sounds like a collaboration to me.





I'd go as far to say the Louboutin sneakers Swizzy revealed may be the best high-end designer collaboration. Swizz/Louboutin designs are stylish, but still masculine as opposed to Kanye West's sneakers for Louis Vuitton which never really took off. (I'm not a fan. Think the tassel details and color scheme are too preppy and feminine...).





And Marc Ronson's Gucci sneakers are more masculine than Kanye's, but I like the Louboutin sneakers better. Probably because the Gucci kicks look like a walking advertisement (dogtag, signature stripe AND logo?).



What do you think of the Christian Louboutin sneakers Swizz Beatz revealed? Would you buy sneakers from Swizz and Christian Louboutin's collaboration, if there really is one? 


Do you think the sneakers we've seen so far are better than Kanye and Marc Ronson's collaborations with Louis Vuitton and Gucci, respectively? Discuss.
