SHOWstudio.com presents: The Karass

Sorry, I don't normally post this many videos but for some reason I'm on a roll...



Kat Marks (neckpieces) A/W 2011-2012 shot by Nick Knight

Lady in Red

I stumbled upon this picture online (no idea who it is or who it's by)


but the hair & make-up and styling remind me of one of my all-time favourite style heroines, La Marchesa Casati:


although the colours remind me more of the Otto Dix (another favourite) painting of Anita Berber (ditto):


If anyone has any information about the origins of the top photograph, who it's by and whether it's part of a series - I'd love to see more - then please let me know! x Oh and Merry Yule/Happy New Year!

Black Book

The other day I eventually got round to watching Black Book, by Paul Verhoeven. One of the things that won me over was Rachel Stein a.k.a. Ellis De Vries' wardrobe.........


Big floppy black beret worn tilted over to one side, with bright red lipstick,
a Rupert The Bear - style checked scarf and a calf-length navy blue trench.
Perfect for beating an elegant retreat from your Nazi lover-to-be.



A sleeveless silky red number to match the oversized red roses in your hair,
freshly dyed blonde (with matching collars & cuffs) so they don't guess you
are ein Juden Frau!! Minxy.


Floral tea dresses are nice for hanging out with topless sailors and
ducking from the Jerries' overhead attack.



This sheer black button-up dress with the cream silk slip underneath is
so nice that you'll want to wear it for several days in a row, which is what
she does in this film.

Megan Fox in Interview Magazine.

I've never sat through a single Megan Fox film nor would I willingly read any interview with her, but I have to admit she looks incredible in the accompanying photos to the recent Interview magazine piece. Very few women could be photographed with a mannequin and not look grotesque in comparison. Well done Megan.
