Ipod Nano Skin Dress

Apple dishes out new products and accessories so quickly that the become antiques almost over night. So what does a vendor do when they get stuck with a bunch of "old" iPod Nano skins? How about a dress? Dutch designer Cindy Jeurissen was asked to put the skins to use and created a fashionable piece out of over 200 pink skins. Pretty good idea.

Denim to Die For

I'm a year round denim type of girl despite our 100 plus degree weather. I just ran into some new fresh styles to add pizazz to any plain white wife beater. (Warning, there is some HEAT on this list)

Guerrilla Cut and Sew

I've been all over the place latley, but have finally got a chance to get back to my guerilla sewing techniques. This summer I'm all about the dresses and mini's, so why not get to cutting. Ok, I've already kicked myself in the ass for not taking a pic of the entire before picture of the thrift store mumu I used to make my creation. But none the less I did take a pic of the fabric itself. Strechy, purple and abstract patterns are perfect characteristics for a new dress.




(belt is a thrift store find)

Tell me what you think.

the fall of a fashion dynasty


Yves Saint Laurent passed Sunday June 1 at 71 in his Paris home following a long illness. The French designer who was known to be the “designer of the feminist revolution” in the 1970’s helped build an empire at Dior Paris at the ripe age of 21.

YSL was the one guy that set the new standard in women’s ready-to-wear; and also was the first designer to give women what the really wanted…PANTS!!! His designs made the word Seduction transfer into the word Elegance with his slinky tuxedos and sheer blouses, conveying femininity.

This declared genius suffered through out his lavish jet set lifestyle, not only struggling with clinical depression, but also alcoholism and drug abuse; in 2002 Yves Saint Laurent spoke of those struggles, though said they weren’t the direct cause of his retirement from the fashion industries.

Mr. Saint Laurent once said, “Fashion fades, style is eternal.”

And for that, he will forever be missed.

Is Sex in your City?!?!

As a new contributing writer for Fattie BOOM B, id like to start out my first editorial by saying “I am Women, hear me ROOOOOOAR!

And on that tip, Sex and the City is finally out!
And looking like the movie of the summer.

Surprisingly I am a 10yr. vet of cult classic Sex and the City and having been watching since the bulky ribbed turtle neck was in style. This is the show I would watch in my living room on mute so my mom didn’t hear Samantha talking about a pearl necklace. Growing up with these women every Sunday night in my quaint yet hippie ran home was a get away. Unlike all the other girls at my junior high school I felt like I had the inside on sex, and didn’t even have sex. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha we there to educate me on oral sex, contraceptives, and staying away from men who shopped in the little boys section; and showed me emotions that I thought I could never have; but get quite often these days. They showed me how to stand up for what I believed in and wear what I wanted to wear. They were my heroines!

When I got into bed the night of the final season, season finale, I thought to myself; which SATC girl am I? Now that I look at it, I was all four of them. And I will never forget the many looks of Carrie, the many cynical comments of Miranda, the many selfless whines of Charlotte, and the many men of Samantha; Because that Is me.

So ladies get out your medium barrel curling iron for those Carrie waves,
put on that sarcastic smile for that Miranda kick in the face,
press your best polo button down for that adorable Charlotte charm,
keep the panties in the drawer for that ROAR like Samantha.

TODAY IS FINALLY THE DAY!!!


p.s. dont forget to pack a bottle of champagne in your over sized tote. this is a bottle pooping event!

2nd Fashion Obsession

2nd new favorite summer obsession are light weight, wide sleeve tanks. These are a great look with tights, jeans or short shorts. During the hellishly hot months ahead I like to sport fast and simple looks and these tanks do the trick. Just make sure to groom those pits ladies.
