a teaspoon of...





Fashion find for today is the wonderful Zandra Rhodes. She's back and daaaang is she back. Her prints are ridicoolas! And her models are buff tings. She awed LFW/ss/07 groupies with her dazzling colour wheel, use of neon pattern collage and so on and so on.

My Dad cries each time I trim the sides down to a .5, however, despite this gruelling attention, I love it- looks great on me, great on Kelis. I guess. And yes I am biased as I got it first, however I have to give the lady some credit. Her eccentricities, including a pair of crunkt out grillz, pink on blonde locks and exposure of various bodily functions, give her a lot more personality that the ‘crazy-in-loves’ of this world wish they could pay for in the noddy land that is Hollyoaks, I mean Hollywood. Not just with her hair does she set herself apart from the –BzoneClones, but it speaks volumes for the music she’s spitting. Bad music+diva attitude=super impolite (to be doing one of those let alone simultaneously). Kelis at least, is making music that stereotypically black women don’t normally get recognition for, and with shitloads of style. Her various editorials are getting her noticed and removing that ‘ghetto girl got rich’ pigeonhole some like to bundle her into. And if you don’t like her music…just coolclock her…..
