I Like Boys And Boys Like Me


We hear ya, Chloe! And I can definitely understand why boys like her, when she goes out looking like she did while attending the 2008 ACE Awards in New York on Monday. After looking at this I feel like going hunting in vintage stores for a dress exactly like hers, tanning my legs and putting on my sky-high nude heels. Even if I do all of this though, I just know it won't look the same. Only Chloe can be Chloe, and her fabulousness is too damn hard to achieve!

Still, however, not okay:

IT'S TIME TO GET CLASSY AGAIN, AMURRRICA!

By the way... this Zombies song (which I'm singing in my bestie's wedding in April!) is pure perfection right about now:

Celebrity style: franjuri/fringes

Gucci, Anna Sui si Balmain sunt doar cateva nume care s-au inspirat din anii '60 si '70 si au adus franjurii pe podiumurile de prezentare.
Franjurii impodobesc incaltamintea - cizme, mocasini, sandale, se regasesc pe genti, curele, coliere, dar si pe haine si arata foarte sexy in miscare.
Detaliile franjurate dau un aer hippie sau boem sic tinutelor.
Aceasta tendinta a inceput sa prinda foarte bine anul trecut, odata cu lansarea gentii Prada "Fringe bag".

The Lovely Kate

Ever since I saw Kate Winslet in the role as Rose in "Titanic" I have been so fascinated by her. I really admired her character in the movie, and I can remember the feeling of wanting to be her so much that I actually dyed my hair orange and used a curling iron every day to create Rose's curls. This was at the age of 9, so that meant that the hair colour came from one of those cheap cans you get from toy stores etc. and I never had the patience to make lovely, wavy curls - it always ended up as a kind of orange frizzy afro. I can't believe my parents let me walk out of the house looking like that. Luckily this period passed quite quickly, but my admiration for Kate Winslet has always stuck with me.


One of the reasons why I like her so much is because she seems so down to earth and sympathetic. Kate has been, and still is, a very successful woman, and it doesn't seem to have gone to her head. In the December 2008 issue of Vanity Fair she says at one point:

“This is going to sound really weird,” she muses, “but I never had a desire to be famous. I never had huge ambitions—never.… I was fat. I didn’t know any fat famous actresses. I just did not see myself in that world at all, and I’m being very sincere. You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else. And I still sort of have that".


In my opinion, Kate is also one of very few actresses in her generation that are truly talented. By looking at her performances, it's easy to see that not only does she have a very natural acting talent, but she is also a hardworking person who doesn't settle for anything less than perfection. That is what makes her such a beautiful actress and an inspirational woman.

“I know that in order to do my job as truthfully as I can—because to me that’s everything—you really have to not give a fuck [about what people think]. You have to be prepared to look stupid and you have to be prepared to walk around naked in front of a crew of people you’ve never met before and may never see again. And it is scary.”
And I also love the fact that she seems so sweet and happy most of the time. I guess you would feel sweet and happy most of the time when you've got a life like hers, but it's not always a given that you're always grateful for what you've got.
"Happiness for Winslet, outside of work, seems to hinge largely on simple pleasures. “I need to be looked after,” she says. “I’m not talking about diamond rings and nice restaurants and fancy stuff—in fact, that makes me uncomfortable. I didn’t grow up with it and it’s not me, you know. But I need someone to say to me, ‘Shall I run you a bath?’ or ‘Let’s go to the pub, just us.’"
So if there are a few things to learn from the lovely Kate Winslet, it's 1) Be comfortable in your own skin and body, 2) Work hard, and you'll achieve big things, and 3) It's the nice small evryday things that really matter!

Vintage Video: IB Diffusion = Mastubatory Knitwear, Exotic Animals, Helicopters & More!

Wowsa! Who knew when I signed up for those Barbizon modeling classes at the mall that I'd find myself convulsing in the bustling city sidewalks, creaming in my knit ankle-length skirt as the result of a simple phone call, and masturbating myself to quivering orgasm on my couch while fantasizing about a couple of tacky sweaters!

Other things I never would've foreseen: owning the unseemly combination of a tiger, a snow leopard, and average house cat! Good thing I'm also leasing all this creepy, vaguely outsider modern art too! And the cats don't even TOUCH my exotic flora -- it's the darndest thing!

And now if you'll excuse me, my helicopter's waiting outside to whisk me away to my job,. which consists of convulsing on a platform inside of an art gallery while wearing a beret! I'm today's IB Diffusion Woman, and the world is my IB Diffusion oyster, and by oyster, I mean umbrella of deliriously bright, hideously outstretched, funk nasty oversized acrylic knits! Viva la Diffusion!
