The daughters of Oscar de la Renta's clientele are all clinging to the new hot designer because he understands the fashion needs of women from the ages of 25-40(Iman is an exception). They want to look like Park Avenue chic women without the stuffiness. Jason Wu delivers their request on a silver platter.

Since First Lady Michelle Obama wore his glorious white one-shoulder gown to the Inaugural Ball, Jason wu instantly became a household name. He experiments with interesting prints and fabrics and intertwine magic with both elements.

Designers come and go. I have a feeling Jason Wu will be around for the next generation.

Another Day, Another Crummy Iraq/A-stan Movie

Opening Night for "Brothers"


Not sure what it is about Hollywood, but when it comes to war movies about Iraq and Afghanistan, they seem to crank out more duds than a Chinese fireworks factory. This latest installment is called "Brothers" and is a remake of a Danish film from 2005 about the stereotypical Marine that comes back home and goes bonkers. Pretty dull and contrived stuff. Here's what Blackfive has to say:
More likely, I think, is the possibility that this is just another Big Hollywood movie that stereotypes soldiers or Marines as angry (because the military is where people go when they can't get into prison!), humorless men (which is why they don't go to college!) who scream a lot, beat up on family members, hate hippies (because they hate their own latent homosexuality!), throw dishes for no good reason at all, and beat up on women and little brothers.
It's not that all of the good coming home movies were "pro-war", but rather the characters in them seemed a lot less phony in movies like The Best Years of Our Lives and Born on the 4th of July. I mean, seriously, Tobey Maguire's character is looking like he's auditioning to be the third Bushwhacker in Wrestlemania V.

Maybe if the production didn't look like it belonged on Michael Moore's Youtube page, it might be worth seeing. But until more vets start becoming filmmakers and more involved in the creative arts, I predict we're going to see turd after turd on the touchy subject of the modern veteran. If the VA can actually figure out how to pay out on the GI Bill, perhaps we could have some decent war movies hitting the big screen.

Red Carpet Icon: Diane Kruger




















































If I could raid closets, Diane Kruger would definitely be on my top ten list. The actress has impeccable taste. She is the queen of stunning flirty cocktail dresses.

It's a treat to view Kruger on the red carpet because I know she will give me fever everytime. I love her because she doesn't chase after the next trend. The former model is not afraid of wearing delicous color. She knows what works for her therefore she looks amazing.

The actress has a fixation with bows and showing her gorgeous shoulders. Diane's style is elegance meets funky which are two winning combination!
