That is hot.
And P.S. - if you’re wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been spreading my joy all over the net! Click here and here to continue reading about Dino-Ray’s fashion and pop culture adventures!
Here are some more pics of SJP’s visit to Pleasanton…
Macy’s in Stoneridge Mall was decorated with “Sex and the City” paraphernalia in almost every corner. Here, we see mannequins done up like the beloved women of the iconic pop culture series.
Some people laughed, some cried and others just screamed - no matter who came up to her table, she seemed so generous and genuinely captive with them. It was the true definition of a lady. One lady was talking to her for the longest time and I swear, it looked like a therapy session. And there was even one lady who brought her parrot along. I would’ve taken a picture, but birds scare me.
You could SO tell this guy is a HUGE “Sex and the City” fan. I bet you he’s a Charlotte.
Yes, you heard that right. The one and only Sarah Jessica Parker paid a visit to the humble Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton to meet and greet her fans (and sign bottles of her fragrances) at Macy’s and to promote her fragrances, Lovely, Covet and Covet Pure Bloom
Donned in a beautiful Peter Soronen dress (the perfect silhouette on her), ferocious sequin dipped Miu Miu heels (she had to check and make sure they were Miu Miu) and a gorgeous Fred Leighton necklace, I had a brief interview the “Lovely” SJP.
We talked about everything from the vast difference of weather between the East Bay and SF and she even complimented my suit! When I told her I lived in the area she said, “Lucky You!” and she loved the cozy rural charm of the Tri-Valley Area…
Nonetheless, here’s what she had to say:
How do you go about creating your fragrances?
Well they have three different stories that are particular to each fragrance. Lovely, I had very specific idea in my mind based on this 20 year “vulgar” version of a chemist that I was. When I finally found Catherine and Cody, it was a matter of interpreting what I wanted, having real professionals and perfumers come into the conversation to teach me about the fragrance business. That, in a way, was the simplest process. Catherine told me early on in the journey of Lovely that I was much further along than I thought because most people come with all the options in the world available to them. With Covet, it was a very different animal because there was nothing specific I was thinking except that I wanted to have some connective tissue to Lovely. I wanted to create a fragrance that had drama and had more subversive qualities. With Pure Bloom, it had specificity from a flower – which was unusual for me. It was about capturing the idea of pikake and the experience I had with the flower when I was in Hawaii and when I was a young girl. They’ve all been different. As a result, I’ve learned so much about fragrance and getting to the final destination.
So we are BACK with a brand new batch of Project Runway designer transients.
Right of the bat, this group of designers, like Tim Gunn said, is the most diverse group of people they have ever had.
Jennifer: The awkward one. Stella: The edgy rock and roll female. Kelli: The quirky rock and roll female. Jerry: The “I’m here to work and not make friends” guy. Blayne: The borderline delusional visionary. Keith: The macho fashion man Joe: The average Joe designer - pun intended. Wesley: The wunderkind who worked for a big-time label (Marc Jacobs) Kenley: The retro gal. Korto: The fancy mother Earth type from the South (originally from Liberia). Terri: A soul child who may be underestimated. Daniel: The season’s token talented “Daniel.” Suede: The guy with a name that has something to do with fashion. Emily: The girl who isn’t shown much in the first episode. Leanne:The “silent assassin” who has the potential to go crazy. Jerrell: The guy who can possibly be the “love to hate” villain of the season.

Does it bother anyone else that Nick Cannon wore a Louis Vuitton T-shirt to a Christian Audigier party? He could’ve at LEAST worn something made by the designer, considering it is the opening of his club and all.
Well, apparently, she just showed new collections in Barcelona for her labels Sweetface and JLO by Jennifer Lopez via various vignettes of “hip” street scenes and voyeuristic boudoir-esque red light district swankiness…
Since Michael H’s rockstar career wasn’t really taking off, why shouldn’t he go down that rock and roll designer road?
From glam rock to punk to ’60s rock to contemporary rock, Michael H marries all these styles for his label, De Hoghton.com. As the proclaimed “younger brother” of famous desiger of modern urban prep, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael H brings rock n roll style to a whole different level with his garb that has the look and feel of a genuine rock star…and I thnk Perry Ferrell, David Johansen, Tommy Lee, the Kills, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Aerosmith can attest to that - he’s designed for all of them.
Seeing that it is Gay Pride Month and all, it’s nice to hear heartwarming coming out stories - especially when they involve “Project Runway” alum Nick Verreos and his strategic use of Hermes, Versace at an unintentional Uno’s Pizza coming out party:
My question is this: How did he afford Hermes and Versace as a college student? I know all I could afford while I was at school were Jnco jeans and items on the super-duper clearance rack at Gap.
