Check Out Lady Gaga’s Latest Airport Look

FashionAdvisor — Wed, 09 May 2012 19:00:12 +0000

Masatoshi Okauchi/Rex USA Generally travel apparel consists of jeans and cozy sweaters , but as we’ve learned, in Lady Gaga ‘s world, there’s no such thing as casual. After her glammed-out appearance at Seoul’s Gimpo Airport recently — the star wore a peekaboo floor-length Atelier Versace gown and a pearl mask — she topped herself Tuesday, wearing another Versace getup to Narita International Airport near Tokyo, Japan. Gaga’s over-the-top look consisted of a Swarovski crystal-covered leather trench, black tights, sky-high platform heels and colorful hair galore. (We pity the person sitting next to her!) Gaga is overseas for the Asian leg of her Born This Way Ball tour, which includes performances in Seoul, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bangkok and more. Many of her tour costumes were designed by Versace and Giorgio Armani; see them in action on photographer Terry Richardson’s blog .

Chanticleer, the renowned 12-member all-male choral ensemble, concludes its 2011-12 Bay Area season in June with Mission Road: six concerts in the historic California Missions from Santa Barbara to San Francisco. A small chamber ensemble of violin, cello, lute, and guitar will accompany most of this program.
Chanticleer has gloried in the beauty and perfect acoustics of the California missions ever since its very first 1978 concert in the old Mission Dolores. In 2008, Chanticleer presented an innovative program as part of the California Arts Council’s American Masterpieces – California, entitled El Camino Real: Chanticleer Travels the Mission Road, recreated on a documentary DVD and CD of the same name. Mission Road will see the Ensemble back on the historic route, with an entirely new program featuring recent discoveries of centuries-old music written in the New World during the period of Spanish colonization. Tickets: $20 – $44
Box Office: 415 OR 800/407-1400 Also online at www.chanticleer.org/concerts

Stranded in Malaga :(

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 11:25:07 +0000

My brother and I are here in Malaga, Spain for a stop in our trip through europe, and just happened to be planning on travelling to Madrid today! Turns out that the trains are shut down except for a couple that are going through today but are far too expensive.
Walking through the streets is a nightmare and every now and then you can hear firecrackers going off, and see people chaining ladders to light posts.
Luckily our hostel here is letting us stay another night, and being in Madrid right now seems like a bad idea. So far here everything is looking very peaceful, but we know it can turn bad very fast. Here’s our pics!

LeAnn Rimes or Brandi Glanville: Who Wore Her Michelle Jonas Dress Best?

FashionAdvisor — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 21:30:29 +0000

Bravo; Pacific Coast News Do ladies who’ve loved alike, dress alike? Late last week, we spotted LeAnn Rimes out in Malibu wearing Michelle Jonas Travelwear’s keyhole dress in “Italian moss” ($235). She paired the maxi — which features an open back — with an unstructured tan blazer, pink purse and booties. Interestingly enough, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville — who was once married to Rimes’s current husband, Eddie Cibrian — wore the same dress in blue on the most recent season of the Bravo show. The reality vixen sported the dress as-is and paired it with breezy sandals on a Hawaiian episode entitled “Leis and Lies in Lanai.” Since it is such a style coincidence, we have to ask: Who wore her maxi dress best?
