"the other kiki"


Kirsten Dunst filming a music video in Tokyo

FACTS:

1. Also named Kiki
2. Over-the knee socks in GINGHAM with sparkling pink mary-jane pumps
3. Fruits-esque (a little less eclectic than most fruits ensembles)
4. Gotta have blue hair!
5. School-girl Saliormoon top

I am so jealous right now - I don't have words.
(Thank you Vero!)

Thanks, but No Thanks Gaga

Lady Gaga,

I like what you're doing, style-wise. It takes balls or flaming titties, I guess, to wear the stuff you wear and I respect that. However, ganguro/Yamambas style, really? Talk about what goes around comes around. This style uses BLACK FACE (orange face?): japanese girls use fake tan and try to look like malabu barbie. This is, like many Japanese style tribes, a delightful inversion/saturation of what... I guess California/Miami visiual culture looks/looked like. And now, you're an american singer copying the japanese copying american dolls. I don't purport to be an expert on these things and I have to admit that this is whole style is growing on me...but it really gives me the heebie geebies. So, in essense, you're freaking me out Lady Gaga - I know that's what you're going for but still. Ew.

shoes and styles

Let's review YSL cage shoes:

These have been out for ages now and my love for them has only grown. Just look at that high-waisted black skirt and sheer white button up with 1960s makeup...it's like they the styling for these shoes is secret message:

Kiki STOP Buy these shoes STOP I made them for you STOP with love STOP YSL STOP.

I hear you loud and clear my sweet little shoe-lovers! I think I will be buying these knock-offs though. Much more reasonably priced.


Louboutin MaryJane pumps. *drool*

Jeremy Scott

Stumbling around the internet, came across designer Jeremy Scott again. (I think Vero and I saw him on ANTM once). Check out his website here.

This dress (Jeremy Scott Poof Ball Dress
“Let Them Eat Gas” S/S 09 Collection)
is gorgeous, not available online any more from what I can tell, but....





Jeremy Scott Princess Dress in Troll De Jolie


this dress is available and it is AMAZING. It's the traditional blue on white french pictoral fabric pattern, except this time, with treasure trolls. Seriously, I love this. I wish I had 600 or so dollars to blow on one dress. I can dream.
