Happy (Belated) Cinco De Mayo!

What better time to share one of my favorite Daria as La Doña photoshoots than on Cinco de Mayo? I’m not Mexican, but in Texas, where I lived for a few years, Cinco de Mayo is pretty big – and to celebrate, I’ll be having a Mexican food-fest! The weather is spectacular, so a couple of Coronas will go nicely with my meal! Hope you’re enjoying your day, lovelies!

PS. This was supposed to go up yesterday, but due to glitchy schedule-thinga-majig, I’m posting it a bit late…better tarde than nunca, no?

Size Doesn’t Matter

Or does it? V Magazine’s photoshoot, featuring a plus-size model Crystal Renn head to head with a skinnier colleague Jacquelyn Jablonski wearing exact same outfits is trying to tell us that it doesn’t. But with various immature comments, criticizing Renn, or even calling Jablonski, who is 5’9″ and measures 32/24/34, ”curvy”, it is painfully clear that this industry is not size-blind.

Having said that, a major magazine, showcasing beautiful and healthy girls wearing non-sample sizes, including a shoot photographed by Karl Lagerfeld, who has once famously proclaimed that “no one wants to see curvy women”, is perhaps yet another small step in the right direction. Until then, we have these gorgeous photos of Crystal to prove, that beauty surely does come in all sizes and shapes.

More photos after the jump!

Natalie Portman in V Magazine

v-magazine

Natalie Portman is on the cover of November/December issue of V Magazine. Natalie has been one of my favorites ever since The Professional, and I love how beautiful she looks with or without makeup, with or without hair, dressed up or dressed down. Such a beautiful face. Such a smart and talented young woman! Yet, somehow, vapid starlets are in the spotlight every day. You get what you ask for, I suppose. V Magazine hits the shelves today.
