Putting big names like Jason Wu, Madonna & The Super Bowl in one category might seem strange, but that’s today’s reality. The highly anticipated Jason Wu for Target collection has been released, and while it doesn’t have the hype of Missoni, it does encompass sleek design and a better wearability factor than Missoni. While I of course love my bold Missoni prints, Wu’s work can be more much more often and has a classic chicness to it.
This afternoon we’ll all experience the whole Madonna performing at the Super Bowl thing…which just seems strange. What’s next? Lady Gaga at the Olympics? She is an icon and will draw attention, but I don’t know of many guys that are getting pumped to see her perform, I think it’s more a ploy to appeal to the females, which I don’t know that many that are really excited to see her either. Regardless, it’ll be much talked about and props to her for being the first female to headline the “big game” since Janet Jackson. Although, she wont be the only starlet on the field, Nicki Minaj, Cee-Lo Green, LMFAO & M.I.A will be there to appeal to America’s youth.
Now if you’re planning on watching the Super Bowl and are like me and don’t know a thing about sports, then peep this article aptly titled, “Smart, Sportsy Things For You To Say During Super Bowl XLVI” via The Awl.
Happy Sunday Funday!
I thought quarter-life crises were supposed to be over after 25, but it’s more like they’re just starting once you hit the big 2-6. Recently celebrating my birthday (see: mini shrine above with some of the flowers/cards I got) has caused me to reflect and have a “moment” on life.
I know, I don’t really have much to complain about because 26 isn’t that old, but there’s still things in life I’d like to accomplish before I’m actually over the hill…and by that, I mean the dirty 30. It’s like we spend our lives wanting to be older: you have to be 16 to drive, 18 to vote (and be considered an “adult”), 21 to drink, and 25 to be able to rent a car (also the ideal age for a crisis). Oh how I miss the days of being 19 with a fake ID. Although, sometimes I still feel like I’ll get “rejected” at a bar, even though I’m sadly nowhere near being 21 anymore. Instead I’m headed the opposite direction: closer to 30. I feel like that’s when you’re actually considered an adult and you have to have “adult” things like 401k’s, Roth IRA’s, stocks, savings, a nice home, and all kinds of other fanciful stuff. Those extra things will come with time to all (that have a job and a dose of maturity).
Too bad when I was in 5th grade I thought of 2011 as the “future” with flying cars and a robot servants. I’m still waiting on those… But until then I’lll somewhat embrace 26 for what it is as not try to re-celebrate 25. However I can already tell 27 is going to be a doozy, unless we can fast track those robots and cars.
Direct from Italy Bishop Domenico Mogavero was the best dressed attendee at church when he arrived at mass wearing a
unique ensemble consisting of silk embroidered with sea shells. This flashy get up was designed by none other than, Giorgio Armani himself.
“This is all not about having brands in church or indulging in the fashion of the moment, but about wearing something beautiful to give glory to God,” Mogavero explained.
You’re probably wondering what a sea shelled outfit has to do with religion…Well, in honor of a new church opening on the island of Pantelleria he approached Armani (who regularly vacations in the area) about the idea of donating the custom clothing to the church.
“I asked him for the vestments as a gift to the new church – to create something beautiful, original and with themes reflecting the island,” he said. “I will see him this summer and I’ll have the opportunity to thank him personally.”
I’m all for donating to church and helping out people, but this feels a bit excessive? Such delicate and fine fabrics for a Bishop? I don’t know the retail value on the clothing item, but I’m sure it’s not cheap…and I bet its value would’ve made a better monetary donation rather than material one.
At this rate perhaps the devil really should wear Prada? (I recommend the banana shirts and mink stoles).
