(Zac Posen S/S09 via style.com)

I sometimes feel that if time comes when I get to realize my runway-modeling-mega-dream to happen and I made a major trip on the runway which I hope not, I’m really gonna end my career right there and then. Spell E-M-B-A-R-R-A-S-S-I-N-G.. But not when I saw this vid. Watch watch watch!

Natasha Poly tripped in Zac Posen S/S09 show. Unbelievable but true! It wasn’t major like that of Jessica Stam’s but I never thought it could happen to Natasha girl. She’s the best catwalker out there and you can really see how she manages to walk into those sky-high stilettos with such glamour in every of her show. It made me think that even runway true walkers like her slips. So it’s normal I guess to trip and pose with a smile like it didn’t happen noh. Nevertheless, the trip made her look even more striking. I love Natasha P.! One true runway Queen B! Bam wham vi-a-v!

PS: I got two blog awards today from Timi and Yvet. Thanks mucho sweets! And I’m sharing these to the takers. Go!

Yes she did it! Miss know-it-all British fashion model Lily Cole posed for October 2008 issue of Playboy France. And here goes the cover shot!

Sweet! She looks innocently seductive wearing only a pair of white socks and clutching a large teddy bear. The shot speaks 60’s with the bouffant hair and a side pony-tail. I’m quite pretty surprised why she posed naked for Playboy. I know she has quite a few fashion editorials wherein her unmentionables are on the show but 14 pages of pure nudity is much to give in! Just kidding! I’m just overreacting.. Lily is 20 and she has the right to go naked on the glossies as long as given the right conditions. I just wonder what will the Marks & Spencer brand has to say about this? Hmmmm… Lily girl?… vi-a-v everyone! *Mwahs*

PS: I just got a Butterfly Award from Wena girl. Thanks dear! You know how I love Butterflies like Mimi.. Cyah on Sunday! Poof!

Here’s something from NYC Fashion Week and this one really pulled my heartstrings.. Aussie supermodel Abbey Lee stumbled in Rodarte’s S/S 2009 fashion show and the culprit? No other than these Nicholas Kirkwood angry-looking platforms in sky high.

Watch this clip as she almost tripped seconds after coming out and completely toppled after making the big U-turn.

Poor Abbey… This made me really think how uneasy it is being a catwalk princess and you really have to work those crazy shoes hard to avoid being wiped out while sashaying on the runway.. Shocks!

Ohmigee! What’s happening to Sasha P.?… I no longer see the strong cheekbones she’s known for but a flat round-shaped face. Is she following the footstep of her separated by birth fellow mega model Gemma girl to plumpfication level?.. No way! But what the heck! Big bucks still coming so let it be! I love you girls! vi-a-v!

I just got back to work the other day and I’m still a little exhausted from my 1 week rampage.. Longer snooze is what I need this time and a full body massage would be a perfect pamper.. Zen Spa or Aviary Spa?.. Ya’know what I’m thinking! Hahaha! Enough sissyfication! Now that I’m back in my usual fab fag programming here, let me share with you what I’ve found over the net few weeks ago. I never knew that Gemma Ward made the inaugural cover for both Vogue China-September 2005 and Vogue India-October 2007 (this simply indicates how a cheap-ass fashion wannabe I am not knowing this news at its freshness). Lol! Sweet! Gemma Ward is one of my favorite models of the planet. She’s simply divine! She’s one of the reasons why I still die-hard being a supermodel even to these horror days despite the fact that the slimmest of the chance it will ever happen is up there hanging for ages already. Imagine doing multiple ad campaigns for high fashion. That’s total bazooka! She’s young, she’s rich and infamous and she reflects the package of a successful model. Just the way I wanted.. However, big dreams don’t just come true in a snap. Not unless you work hard your cheap ass to achieve it. Oh well, guess I need to sleep more to pull off my sagging dream of becoming an ‘it’ model even just for 3 hrs I think.. Tik-tak-tik-tak-tik-tak..

Going back to my late discovery from the archives of glossy Vogue, I fairly don’t see much worth of putting a foreign blonde face to an inaugural cover launch like of Vogue congee and shawarma. In my opinion, the idea of having a blonde girl on a native cover, together with a cast of the original race is somewhat not impressive for me and connotes overpowering the local beauty which should not be the case. East-meets-West inspiration or East(Aussie Gemma)-meets-East(exotic Asians) that is… But overall both covers are stunning!

Vouge China - September 2005

Vouge India - October 2007

Plump as I am?.. Feel like a bouncing blubber already?.. Now get yourself ready with this! A very interesting new diet you can try that will absolutely melt the fats inside you .. Sounds like it huh?.. *wink* It’s very very simple and define effortless. All you need to do is print a life-size tarpaulin of Sasha P.’s divine Vogue editorial photoshoot and paste it on the walls of your room.. And boom! If the carnivore in you attack, just stare at the picture and surely you’ll end up bypassing your starvation.. Still hungry?.. Don’t think so noh.. Hihihi..

Or maybe you can try raisins+non-fat milk diet which i’m into for a week already.. It’s fun and healthy at the same time. And the good thing is you don’t feel hungry at all.. Munch like a goat dear! Meeeeeehhh… So, watchathink? Sasha’s mural or raisins+milk diet? You decide..

Awright people! To those of you out there who dreamed of becoming a runway queen watch this clip closely, hold your breath, and think again? This might change your mind but meeeehhh.. I’ll definitely conquer all.. Remember.. No pain no glory! LOL! Just look how Jessica Stam werrkk it at 2:00.. Ouchness noh? Poor Stam.. Just kiddin! Enjoy the vid!

Olga Sherer for Lanvin S/S 2008! This is sooo fierce! I thought it was over but she did it again for Mr. Elbaz! So sweet noh! Personally, I think that everything is amazingly depicted in this ad campaign - the background, the colors, the dress and of course, the wicked looking Olga in high fashion! So spooooky! Hihihi! Need to say more? Harvat Olga! Harvat!

Tell me what’s your say on this picture? Hotness or absolute grossness?!

Whatchathink? Anorexia is dat chu? Bulimia is dat chu? I’m utterly loss of words when I saw it.

Fashion people know that casting is such a critical thing in a model’s career simply because it holds the make point of her profession. What can you say? It’s their way of living. Models are pushed to go beyond the boundaries of fashion standards for them to land on the runways of prominent designers wearing their coveted collections. Maintain size ‘0’ or else you’re out of the industry. Well, I myself would consider such opportunity but being tagged as a ‘walking skeleton’, nadahh… I have a normal body figure of a third-world commoner but would love to loose a little. Yah know! A supermodel-wannabe like me is grabbing for thinspo look but sumptuous carbos and choles are just sweet irresistibles to failingly achieve such appeal. But noh oh noh!

I was net-hopping when I came across stories of models who meet death due to bad dietary regimen. Here are few chicas of thinspo fashion victims.

First, we have Uruguayan model Luisel Ramos who was dropped dead from heart failure minutes after stepping off the catwalk in her final runway show. Imagine, this girl had spent three months on a near-starvation diet to lose even more weight. Craziness! Months later, her sister Eliana Ramos, 18, also an aspiring model followed her footstep and was found lifeless at the home she shared with her grandmother also due to unhealthy eating habit. On the other hand, Ana Carolina Reston, 21, a Brazilian model who lived on a diet of apples and tomatoes has also died from kidney failure on the eve of a photographic shoot in Paris and Israeli fashion model Hila Elmalich who also passed away after years of fighting anorexia. Is in it heartbreaking to hear those stories?…

They’re models and I understand that all they wanted is to stay top of their game but what these ladies had done to themselves is a result of their own negligence to stay fit. It boils down to this. Models can be thinspiringly size ‘0’ as much as they wanted to. It’s their prerogative to maintain such physique. But there are also size ‘0’ models who knows how to werrkk it out healthily. See the difference?.. If you, as a person know how to balance between looking thin/slim/slender and staying physically fit inside (immune system and the likes), you just nailed it!
