another K.T. presentation...Ramen bath

2008-07-12T02:31:00.000-07:00

Now, it's no secret that some of the best and brightest skinnovations come from Japan, where they take beauty very seriously (as both an art form and a technologically-driven industry). But at a certain spa theme park, they're going back to their roots with old-school ingredients intended to mimic the fountain of youth via your favorite 50-cent snack ramen noodles.

Says Advertising Age:
A spa theme park located in Hakone, Japan, called Hakone Kowakien Yunessun, offers "amusement" baths, including a wine bath, a green-tea bath, a coffee bath, a sake bath and even a ramen-noodle bath. For the last, developed by famous Japanese ramen shop Nantsuttei, bathing suit-clad customers are a key ingredient in the broth. The bath is shaped and decorated like a real ramen bowl, with chopsticks and noodle decorations hanging over the hot tub. The pepper-flavored water contains collagen and garlic extracts, believed to improve skin. A man dressed as a chef dispenses noodle-shaped bath additives to everyone packed into the hot tub. He also dispenses soy sauce. Real wine, coffee and other drinks are poured into different baths in a similar fashion.

Chanel on Robertson Blvd.

2008-06-02T14:53:00.000-07:00

Exclusive nail polish collection for Chanel on Robertson Blvd.

I was reading a recent Women's Wear Daily, and they had an article about the Chanel on Roberston Blvd. Apparently, this specific Chanel is targeted to a hip, modern, contemporary crowd.

You may even bump shoulders with Lindsay or Nicole. Might as well stop by Lisa Kline & Kitson if you're there too. I've shopped on Roberston, and I think it's definitely overrated. Then again, I'm just not too excited to buy a $300 tshirt...that's just me, though.

My theory is that to dress fly, you don't necessarily need to spend a lot of money.

But hey, I'm still down for the cause!

10 Things I Love About Gladiators

2008-06-01T01:58:00.000-07:00

10. They go with most, if not all, outfits whether they have a heel or they are flat.
9. They're generally flattering on most women.
8. They're comfortable.
7. Once you own a pair, you never get sick of them. They're like you're favorite classic sneakers, you just always go back to them.
6. They can be edgy & feminine at the same time.
5. You can get crazy attention, but not in the same way you would with stilettos or stripper-like heels because ultimately they're "chic" and "fashionable."
4. They're addicting, which I guess is good and bad. You'll find yourself owning 5 different pairs in red, black, white, nude, high, low, thin straps, thick straps, etc.
3. You feel powerful in them.
2. They're refreshing...weren't we all getting sick of boring shoes? I sure was.
1. They're just sexy as hell!!!!!!

So if you don't know, now ya know =)

Hey Ladies...

2008-05-30T14:56:00.000-07:00

Strapless Dresses are hot hot hot for summer!!

Ok, to be honest, I've never been a huge fan of strapless dresses. Why? Because it takes a certain type of body & breast size to make it look SEXY, and most girls who wear strapless dresses just look bad...
I think the key thing to remember is fit. Do not buy it if it does not fit you! Aka if you see bulges anywhere, forget about it.
But, I think with the right accessories, toned arms & a great collarbone you'll look stunning.
The one great thing about designer strapless dresses are that they tend to have good support, structure, and lining--which is crucial for strapless dresses.

I love Prada Fall 2008 Shoes...
So Dope

I have mixed feelings about Prada. I'm more of a Jean-Paul Gaultier, Nicolas Ghesquiere, John Galliano, Rei & Yohji, Viktor & Rolf, Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood fan.
When I visit Europe, the Prada merchandise is just amazing. But in the US, I tend to find that it's just not impressive.
In general, Miuccia Prada is very much a revolutionary, and I do think she's somewhat of a genius. Yet, I've been more a fan of Miu Miu. Nonetheless, these shoes are stunning.

On ANOTHER note...DUDES...

YEE PARTY WITH THE CHUCKSTER IN SAN FRANCISCO

Virtual Girlfriend

2008-05-17T02:19:00.001-07:00

You work late. Like, every night. You probably screwed up your last steady relationship, and, well, maybe there's no one to curl up next to in bed when you stumble in the door at night. Drew Burrows knows the feeling. "I'm in this grad program right now, and it's totally consuming," he said. "I come home every night to an empty bed." So Burrows, 28, engineered (literally) a solution, which he unveiled to the public last night at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program Spring Show at Tisch School of the Arts.

It's simple to behold — a single mattress, tucked into a dark, curtained back room of the showcase space. On it: a lithe brunette. She's perfectly quiet, but once you sit or lie down, she responds to your every move. Lie on your back, she snuggles up right next to you in a log position. Curl up in the fetal position, she spoons. The only hitch: She's 2-D. "Yeah, you can't feel the girl. That's the thing," Burrows explained as he demonstrated his invention, an "infrared sensitive" light projection (meaning it reacts, and the projected woman moves, based on an infrared sensor) called INBED. "Still, it's so nice if you're tired and worn out to have someone to curl up with."

As for satisfying those not-so-innocent late-night desires, this lady adheres to her role as steady girlfriend. Give her kiss on the check and she rolls over and buries her face in the pillow. And yes, she stays fully clothed at all times. Nonetheless, Burrows suggests his new alternative to a full-body pillow or (ugh) blow-up doll could provide late-night comfort for traders, lawyers, or any other single guy in Manhattan who simply works too hard to keep a girlfriend. Speaking of, how long has Burrows been single?

"Long enough to come up with this idea," he sighed. —Christine Lagorio

Richard Kern x Mishka

2008-05-17T00:14:00.000-07:00

"To launch its Summer '08 Collection, Mishka will be unveiling a special capsule with internationally recognized photographer and culturally provocative filmmaker & video director Richard Kern. Composed of 4 striking portraits, the collection will offer buyers an intimate glimpse into some of Kern’s most infamous and adored female subjects.

Born in 1954, Richard Kern is a widely acclaimed portrait artist who first came to prominence as a part of the underground cultural explosion in NYC's East Village during the 1980s. Through his erotic films, featuring underground rock icons such as Lydia Lunch, Kembra Pfahler and Henry Rollins, Kern explored a deep interest in the aesthetics of extreme sex, violence and perversion. Often referred to as one of the fathers of Cinema of Transgression, Kern's genius behind the lens led to further work with artists like Sonic Youth, King Missile and Marilyn Manson.

In the 1990s, Kern's focus turned almost exclusively to still photography revolving around glamour, bondage and fetish models. He has since published 9 books of his unique photography including New York City Girls and is a regular contributor to a variety of international publications. Most recently, he also stars in Shot by Kern, a VBS. TV series for VICE Magazine that accompanies him on shoots at his Manhattan Studio."

Herro everyone. Name's Rachel Fashion Junkie.
I'm now officially a new author. I like random things. My style is best described as funky and eclectic. I'm mostly interested in Womenswear Accessories & Clothes...but of course, i'll always keep it fressshh.

FYI, this was the moment Gary told me to join the blog. hahah. Forreal, though!

Bringing some sexiness to dilute all this testosterone hahah. Just kidding, love you guys! I'm a designer-in-the-making, if you will, and most of my posts will be about things that "inspire" me, or I guess just different ways to look at...life? I'm going to inject you all with a small introductory dose of my recent obsessions:

Misshapes
(the book)
I found this book, and was in love. Last year, it was Dirty Dirty D ancing, London club photos, but this year it's all about this book! These are the types of people I love to admire...eccentric, quirky, and most of all FUN.
For all of you who love street fashion & club culture, like me, you need to cop this book!!!

Ethnic Jewelry & Objects
Recently, I've been to quite a few places: London, Hawaii, Vegas, New York City (and upstate), and Indiana (I know...don't ask). BUT I got a lot of inspiration from my
30 hours in Marrakesh, Morocco.

This is super hot. Made from sterling silver.
I also loved London, though.
The true Londoners are sick dressers! Hands down, they have dope style. I especially enjoyed the Tate Modern. Here's some art I fancied.

Agyness Deyn
Why do I heart her? She's the baddest b*tch on the block, end of story & nuf said.

Til next time...Peace!

"In school, I was only interested in meeting the owners of the tags I would see in the playground. As I got older and started traveling further from home, it was the tags along the train lines—I knew that was what I wanted to do. I gradually met more and more writers and before long I was spending nights in bushes waiting for the cleaners to finish their jobs so I could start mine.

We had to learn pretty quickly: Never have any graffiti-related items in your home—no paint, no black books, no photos, nothing. The police could knock on the door at any time. Always have your stories straight. If the police stopped your car you have to be able to explain why you are 200 miles from home at two in the morning with a car full of spray paint or, worse, a camera with yard shots of three top-to-bottom cars. We would take all the precautions we could."-eine

Hulk Hogan's family is a bust

2008-05-09T18:47:00.000-07:00

"Today in Clearwater, Florida, a judge sentenced Nick Bollea, son of famous WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan, to eight months in jail for reckless driving. Last August Bollea crashed his father's yellow modified Toyota Supra into a palm tree while street racing. Not only did he total the car, but his friend John Graziano who was riding shotgun that night will now require lifetime medical care for his critical injuries. The young Hogan was reportedly led off to serve his sentence immediately after it was handed down by the judge. In addition to the jail time, Bollea will also be on probation for five years and lose his drivers license for three."
