I LOVE this photo shoot. So iconic. Every single shot should be on a t-shirt or something. So dope. Madonna still got it, y’all!
Here she is in the May 2010 issue of Interview Mag looking absolutely fabulous. LOVE this!

I have to admit, there’s alot to learn about fashion that I have yet to know.
However I do know what I like and I do know what is talent…and Alexander McQueen had it all. Sadly, he is no longer with us but left a genius Fall 2010 collection. Take a look at his accessories collection for Fall 2010. It is so superb, so classic but original…so phenomenally intricate and nuanced. Fabulous.
You will be missed, Mr. McQueen.
Debbie Harry is probably one of the most iconic figures of the new wave/ punk rock scene of the mid-1970′s. She was a gorgeous woman with a huge talent….I adore her.
Check out the photos after the quote.
In the aftermath of her brother’s death, Janet has kept quite silent. In the October 2009 issue of Harper’s Bazaar, she gives an exclusive interview on Michael and her break up with Jermaine Dupri. Look at these gorgeous photos from the interview…classic, glamorous and elegant. I love the look.

I was actually just put on to famed Art Nouveau painter, Mucha, by my friend Erika Dickstein. I had always seen reproductions and such but never quite knew the name of the artist or seen the extensive work he completed. Amazingly feminine and ethereal, very neo-classical reminiscent… the best part of the female forms Mucha depicted in his art? They were all thick voluptuous women! Peep the work below!
In remembrance of the King of Pop… a true genius… a master of his craft before he hit his teens… without his music, pop artists of today would not exist. There would be no Neyo, no Usher, no Chris Brown, no Justin Timberlake, nor would there be the flamboyance and style of Kanye West. His tumultuous personal life in his later years aside; musically, Michael should be respected and honored for all of his contributions.
May he rest in peace and may the Lord watch and protect over his grieving family.
He was loved by many, across the world and all the hate could never outshine the love we held for him. Below are some of the beautiful words he should be remembered for.
“Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation. ”
Michael Jackson
“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with. ”
Michael Jackson
“The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation. ”
Michael Jackson
“I’m Starting With The Man In
The Mirror,
(Man In The Mirror-Oh
Yeah!)
I’m Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Better Change!)
No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)”
WE LOVE YOU, MICHAEL!
A LEGEND NEVER DIES.
The Supremes..the original Supremes…legends in their own right… and fashion icons of the 60′s…take a second to look at their gorgeous stage clothes… stylish, elaborate and beautiful.
“God made man stronger but not necessarily more intelligent. He gave women intuition and femininity. And, used properly, that combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I’ve ever met.”
…In honor of Farrah Fawcett and her battle with cancer…We Love you, Farrah!…
The original “Foxy Brown”, this pin-up queen is synonomous with the “blaxploitation” film genre and no matter what generation, Pam Grier is a beauty to be reckoned with. I adore her for being so blunt and ready and for being the gangsta princess she is and always will be. ONE OF THE GREATS!!!!
Okay, so I just want to acknowledge that women of color are beautiful and thick and sexy.
Honored with a Lifetime Acheivement tribute by Billboard magazine in 1999, Mercado is noted as the first promoter to bring salsa music to Africa, South America, the Orient and Israel.His dynamic concert presentations “Ralph Mercado Presents..” and Latin music concerts at such prestigious venues as Radio City Music Hall; Lincoln Center’s Avery Fischer Hall; the Beacon Theater; and Madison Square Garden are to be remembered in his illustrious career. In 1976 Mayor Beam presented Mercado with a proclamation establishing the September concerts, currently in its 31st year, as the “Official New York Salsa Day” and in 2005, Mercado was honored with yet another proclamation from the Mayor of the City of New York.
I still have ticket stubs from a concert my mother and I attended years ago… faded and loved… it is one of the best memories of my adolescence. I can clearly recall watching people dance to the music in the aisles of Madison Square Garden. Latinos took over the Garden that night and the clave of our hearts beat in unison. And this is all in thanks to Mr. Ralph Mercado and his vision.
Deepest condolences to his family at this time, who hopefully are comforted by the profusion of love from his fans. You will be missed, Mr. Mercado.

Agustin was a member of Arsenio Rodriguez’s orchestra in Cuba and in New York City during the era when Mambo was created. In Cuba, he worked with Machito, Celia Cruz, and Mario Bauzo. In New York City, he continued his musical career, working with Johnny Pacheco, Tito Puente, Marcelino Guerra, Mongo Santamaria, and Israel “Cachao” Lopez. He is featured on Aresnio Rodriguez’s last two albums, including “Arsenio Dice”, in which he worked with Palladium Era legends such as Chocolate Armenteros, Rene Hernandez, and “Alfonso el Panameno”.
These are only some of the highlights of Mr. Caraballaoso’s illustrious career. He was an extraordinary man and a legend in his own right.
May his legacy live on and his memory remain strong in the hearts of his children and grandchildren.
