How much would you pay for a pair of jeans?

November 28th, 2008

How much would you pay for a pair of jeans? $200, $500, more? How about a quarter of a million dollars? Jason Dussault has collaborated with Malcolm Norman, of Bloodline Designs, to create the most expensive pair of jeans ever offered for sale.

What makes these so special? Well, aside from the 2 prototypes, there are only 2 pairs, one adorned with 1080 grams of 18k Marquis rose gold and the other with 1120 grams of 18k white gold (the prototypes are bronze and silver and sell for a significantly discounted $10,000).

The rose gold version is set with 16, 1 carat rubies, 8, .05 carat color diamonds making up the skull eyes and 26, .05 carat rubies on the daggers and cross. The second version trades the rubies for 16, 1 carat and 41, 0.5 carat colored diamonds set throughout the white gold wallet chain.

Dussault has experience creating fancy pants, including stage pants for rock stars like Nickelback and performers like Criss Angel.

Jason Dussault has said that one half of the proceeds from the sale of the two pairs will be donated to Canucks Place Children’s Hospice.

Miley Cyrus MySpace pics have surfaced

November 28th, 2008

Well, apparently someone hacked into Miley Cyrus’ MySpace account and pulled these pics from her gallery. I suppose that if this is true, and she had never meant for the pictures to be made public, then it’s hardly fair for us to jump on the bandwagon and spread them around… but how much damage can one more site do? Here they are… I wonder which one Leslie is?

Miley Cyrus: Growing up and becoming the next Lilo

November 28th, 2008

Ah yes, here is a recent photo of Miley Cyrus posing in a bikini- complete with mis-matched patterns I might add. It seems as though another supposedly teen role model is following suit with all the other pop icons before her; Britney, Lindsay, and the like.

It seems funny to look at these shots as the girl has the money for professional photography yet wants to cheapen the deal with these booty shots. Well, I won’t say I told ya so, but really, is anyone surprised that teen sensation wants to get her sexy back on? I wonder who she is blowing that kiss to?

Kanye’s Mother’s unfortunate medical complication

November 27th, 2008

Kanye’s mother died of surgical complications last November after cosmetic surgery for breast augmentation and liposuction. Donda West was in under the care of a registered nurse once coming home after the surgery. Donda went home after only five hours to be under the care of nurse Scoggins. The next day, Scoggins had left to attended a baby shower and could not be reached when Donda began to experience severe pain. Poor aftercare was definitely the cause of this tragedy. A part of the investigation is whether or not Scoggins administered too much vicodin too soon. Donda West’s nephew, Stephan Scoggins, is under investigation for her death.

The Celeb Life: Psychotherapy, shopping, and after parties

November 27th, 2008

Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend, Samantha Rosen were spotted last night at the Foxtail Lounge at the DWTS after party. Earlier on in the day, Lilo went to her psychotherapist for an appointment and after that, did a little shopping therapy at Balenciaga. Supposedly, Lilo and Rosen’s relationship is on the rocks lately. Lilo still claims that she is not a lesbian and this may be putting a complication on things.

DWTS Lacey Schwimmer

November 27th, 2008

New dancing with the stars professional Lacey Schwimmer partnered with Lance Bass, spoke out about the low scores that she and her partner have received in some of the dances earlier on in the season. As a contemporary and modern dancer, Lacey’s choreography is young, fresh and hip. This alternate style has caused a clash between the new and old, especially with conservative judge, Len Goodman who disliked the couple’s dances for various reasons. It seems to me that people need to accept change and innovation or else dance would not have evolved to the place it is today. Overall, Lacey Schwimmer adds personality to DWTS and this should be a sigh of relief to most.

Dancing with the stars: Girl power!

November 27th, 2008

Last night, a new champion was crowned as dancing with the stars competitor Brooke Burke delivered her final, emotionally touching dance of the evening, a Viennese waltz dedicated to her two daughters. The former host of E!’s “Wild On” and CBS’ “Rock Star” was a favorite from the outset, coming in first place 8 out of 10 times and receiving high scores from even the toughest judge, Len Goodman. Most amazing is the way that Brooke Burke seemed as if she had been dancing all her life. Her athletic physique gave her an added advantage as she looked and played the part of a professional dancer. At 37, Brooke is definitely an inspiration to the public as she has shown that we can all dance if we really want to work at it.

Following Brooke in second place was football star, Warren Sapp, who for a 300 pound man is surprisingly light on his feet.
Third place went to my personal favourite, Lance Bass, who was a risk taker in his challenging choreography and outstanding pop moves. I am pleased to see however, that the winner this season won due to her talent and skill, as opposed to popularity in pop culture. Take for example, the typical situation where a football player has won in the past season over a more talented but less popular dancer. This is not the last time you will see the contestants and professional dancers of this season ; a 38-city “Dancing with the Stars” tour, will begin December the  17th in San Diego.

Dom Rebel Threads Bad Habits Collection 2008

November 27th, 2008

A satirical play on the bad habits that we all know and love or hate. The shirt designs incorporate this with depictions of sex, drugs, and vandalism. Smears of paint and glossy images cap off the look as well as raw and gritty skulls with Mohawks or hornets.

Many of the shirts have graphics that were taken from an artist’s sketch book. Dom Rebel Threads combines a social commentary with a kick ass rock star image.
