Shoegate 2009

Its seems that Mrs. Obama's shoes have created a bit of controversy.

First Lady Michelle Obama is catching some flak for sporting pricey sneakers while volunteering at a food bank here with congressional spouses. The footwear has been identified by sharp eyed fashion mavens as made by the French design house Lanvin and costing more than $500. The congressional spouse bagging groceries with the First Lady is a fellow Illinoisan—Bob Creamer, the husband of Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.).

I didn't hear many conservatives complaining about Cindy McCain's RNC outfit that cost $300,000. source

Naomi Campbell continues to put the fashion industry on blast for not hiring black models. Oscar De La Renta, recently criticized Mrs. Obama for not wearing high-end designers. Naomi says:

"Why would she concern herself with mainstream designers who don't even put their clothes on women who look like her in ads or fashion shows?'' source

The Many Outfits Of Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez switched clothes like Mariah The Diva while she hit up the talk show circuit. She first hit up 'Regis & Kelly' and moved on to 'Good Morning America.' She spoke on how hard it was to get her body back after having twins, saying “Your body becomes sort of this temple for the babies....I needed to do it [the triathlon] to feel like Jennifer again. It was really great for me physically, emotionally, mentally. It got me thinking about achieving again, doing again.” source

Lil' Kim Hearts Marc Jacobs

Lil' Kim says that while she was doing her bid in prison back in 2006, big time designer Marc Jacobs was her pen-pal:

"He's one of my best friends and was actually a huge supporter when I was in prison," she said in an interview with StyleList.com. "He wrote me every week! "I decided to buy a coloring book – I'm a huge Bratz fan – and I painted the Bratz and made them all wear Marc Jacobs, and sent it to him. He blew it up and framed it, and now it's hanging in his house. So Marc Jacobs is the best."

Is that why she has transformed her face into a bratz doll? Hmmm... source

Kanye West And Rihanna Get Fragrance Deals

Both Rihanna and Kanye West are hitting fragrance deals because both are linked to Jay-Z's Iconic Fragrances company. Parlux Fragrances Inc. have signed an agreement with the company to create scents for the both. Kanye West and Rihanna's scents will hit store selves by the summer of 2010.

This is interesting because the fragrance market, I think, has been a bit over saturated with a load of celebrities having their own fragrance bottles. Kim Kardashian has a fragrance in the works too. So who's next? Jim Jones? Lil' Wayne? Ewww, nevermind. source

Naomi Campbell Calls The Modeling World Racist

Naomi Campbell has called out the modeling world before for constantly shutting out models of color. But even as the president of the most powerful country in the world being a person of color and his wife being a brown skinned black woman, she says that in the modeling world, things have actually gotten worse:

“You know, the American president may be black, but as black woman, I am still an exception in this business. I always have to work harder to be treated equally,” the runway model explained to a German addition of Glamour magazine.....In the past, there were more opportunities for black models but the trend towards blond women has again become extreme. In magazines, on the catwalk, I see blond, blue-eyed models everywhere.” source

Oscar de la Renta Has Beef With Michelle Obama

"American fashion right now is struggling," says Oscar de la Renta. "I think I understand what [Obama and her advisers] are doing, but I don't think that is the right message at this particular point....I don't object to the fact that Mrs. Obama is wearing J. Crew to whatever because the diversity of America is what makes this country great. But there are a lot of great designers out there. I think it's wrong to go in one direction only."

Mrs. Obama is in a no-win situation. If she wears clothing by the big shot expensive designers, some would complain and say that she shouldn't wear such high-priced clothing when so many people are struggling. If she wears inexpensive clothing, then the big name designers get upset. Let the woman wear what ever the hell she wants. SOURCE
