“Here it is”

So here’s my cupcake-cake. My mother told she bought one and then she came home with nothing on her hands so I kinda’ improvised with the frosting and the sparkles… Yeah, I wanted to be super-trooper corny.

“1 YEAR, BRIGHT LIGHT FRIGHT TURNS 1 YEAR OLD”

YES, MY BLOG TURNS ONE YEAR OLD AND I’M REALLY THANKFUL FOR THE AMAZING PEOPLE I’VE MET (ALL THE OTHER FELLOW PANAMANIAN AND INTERNATIONAL BLOGGERS), FOR THE THINGS THAT I’VE DONE, FOR THE GOOD AND HARSH COMMENTS THAT I’VE RECIEVED, FOR THE THINGS THAT DIDN’T HAPPENED AND FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO COMMENT ON, AND I’M WORKING ON A SPECIAL PROJECT INVOLVING LULU MACAROON, SO STAY TUNNED. LATER I’LL POST SOME PICTURES OF THE CORNY CAKE THAT MOM GOT ME.

“Teenage Dream-esqe day”

Let’s say this is a small photo diary of what I did the other day. Had a nice time at the pool with some friends. Amazed by how dirty my friends sunglasses were, still trying to figure out how she was able to see through them.

“Waiting for this…”

Due to show the 16th of July on Fashion Week Panama.

“Lulu’s Picks from Milan Fashion Week/Fall 2011”

So there you have Lulu wearing a Versace pre-fall 2011 dress which perfectly matched the slightly bohemian vibe she wanted. Lulu right now must be in Barcelona (doing God knows what), probably walking around in designer outfits. While she was in Milan, from fashion show to fashion show, she made her picks and of course I had to request each and every single of the. And all of a sudden I’m sounding a little bit “tired and bored”, but believe me, I really enjoy requesting each and every look Lulu picks. Which look you want her to wear first?.

“Witch games that Lolita mermaids played…”

For sure I couldn’t pass Christopher Kane’s awesomeness and got away with it. This was one of the coolest, if not the coolest collection presented in London during Fashion Week (more like “Fashion Month”) for Fall 2011. For me, the collection was divided into 3 stages, each one colliding perfectly with the other. The first stage, which I called: “The Cool Granny” consisted on several looks that featured an awesome knitted patterned crochet that reminded me (and how not to) of those creepy blankets Grandma’s made and whose color combinations and patterns scared some of us (and I’m speaking for myself). It was interesting seeing it paired with vinyl/leather (or it is faux leather?) printed with the same pattern as the knitted crochet pieces plus some had plastic trims with an -inside-of- colored substance around the pockets and necklines, which was a “90’s-high school-coolness” staple. Oh Childhood Memories, Oh Childhood Memories *Say it with a very dramatic tone of voice*.

        

Here is where the twist was made colliding perfectly with the first stage. This one, the second stage, I’ve called it “The Flirtatious Sixteen Year Old Lolita” (what a title right?), which totally captures the joyfulness, innocence (of course, disturbed), rawness, daring-ness, un-experienced, rebellious attitude of a flirtatious sixteen year old girl and that somehow reminded me of how the hearts and souls of the Lisbon girls (The Virgin Suicides) should’ve looked like. It was a little bit ironic how the substance inside of the plastic trims, the black tulle and the cut-outs managed to give a covered sheer-ness planting a thought of infection from within the body.

        

Didn’t the collection looked like a backward retrospective of a childhood?. For me it did. Let’s assume it was Christopher Kane’s childhood. I called this stage: “Kinder Garden Memories”. Mostly because every look felt fun and playful, and because the pastel colored paillettes looked like sew-in smarties (yummy) or mermaid scalps from Peter Pan’s world. Every look had an overdose of those curved plastic trims that were able to infect everything beautifully.This post managed to ironically go hand-in-hand with the Louise Gray’s post, emphasizing that inner child we all buried inside of ourselves.

*Note: See that everything made sense while listening to Lady by Lenny Kravitz.*
