Vajazzle your Lady Pie with Swarovski Crystals

Vajazzling is all about adornment. Jewelry made for your special parts.


Vajazzling is the frosting on the bikini wax, it makes your faux-pubescent pie sparkle! And your Brazilian, a little bit more posh.

 


Vajazzling is the process of putting stick-on gemstones around the vagina after a wax. Another great comeback for Swarovski Crystals!

Ohlala what a sparkly puss!

And the forerunner on the hardcore Vajazzling experience is blogger Bryce Gruber (bravo! bravo!) who had her Vajazzle done at the pioneering Completely Bare spa in NYC.

Alexander McQueen's Accessories: The Last Season

Alexander McQueen's skulls and his skull scarves were all the rage a few seasons back, slung over bags and warming fashionistas necks the world over.



Now that McQueen is gone, the skull scarf is now a must keep treasure.


I do wonder about the 10 inch-tall stilettos being possible heirlooms though they are not exactly the boots of our generation. Though I do trust Lady Gaga to bring out her McQueens on her comeback concert when she's 60.

Long live McQueen!

Long Live McQueen!

The Fashion world mourns the passing of its daring luminary - Alexander McQueen

Born in London's East End, the son of a cabbie and lovingly raised by a mother whose death he could not bear. Lee Alexander McQueen took his life just days after his Mother's passing.

 

"We are devastated to learn of the death of Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest talents of his generation. He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen's influence was astonishing - from street style, to music culture and the world's museums. His passing marks an insurmountable loss."
- Anna Wintour

 

“He was a young genius who crossed between Couture and Punk Rock with reverence. He will be missed by all.” —Tommy Hilfiger, Designer

His work was always known to be extraordinary and avant-garde.

 
Alexander McQueen personally worked on Bjork's album cover Homogenic and even worked as director in one of her music videos.

The Pumps that got the world abuzz: Alexander McQueen's 10-inch-tall Stilletos shocked the soles off Paris Fashion Week in 2009

His fashion shows were always an eclectic mix of technology and performance art.

Jewelry Knots: Sealing the Ends

Someone posted a question Beadsnob about knots. What kind of knot do you make to tie the two ends of a bracelet or necklace?


A funny ad illustrating various knots

What's the most effective knot? A knot that doesn't come loose after wearing the jewelry piece for quite awhile. Forget the Gordian knot, okay :P

I just usually do a double knot and just touch it up with a drop of quick-dry glue then I snug it tightly into one of the bead holes just to hide it.

What do you use? Feel free to send me suggestions :)
