ARE YOU A SINNER???
On November 25, 2010 Stephen Webster debuted his limited edition "7 Deadly Sins" collection of rings to a small group of people in UK. The collection of rings is amazing! I love the concept! It's a little dark yet still possesses a sense of honesty and truth all the while exhibiting beautiful craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each ring is hand made and will not be sold in stores but rather by personal order only. One thing is for sure, whether you're a religious person, confessed sinner, or neither, one can still find an appreciation for these kick-ass rings! Ha! Check out these beauties:

*Girls who like girls...DJ edition*
I’d like to start by staying NO HOMO! Although the title does open itself up to that. It’s the writer in me and I haven’t used a double entendre in a while so now the nerd in me can rest!
But seriously I am in serious like with my new found DAME DJ Tamara Sky!!! If you recall I first heard her a couple weeks ago at the Sloppy Seconds party in Atlanta. She was my favorite DJ of the night and I got a chance to talk to her briefly and she was realllllly sweet!

I later googled her and found out that she WASN’T Asian, which was a total shocker to me!! She’s actually Puerto Rican!
Anyway she’s not your typical DJ in her words via her twitter she’s a:
“Vampire robot dominazi with amazing ninja powers who is also a zombie with a flesh eating sex demon alter ego.” Can we say mouth full?!
But to add to that impressive and extensive resume she can also add cover girl to Playboy Mexico, US playboy centerfold, Miss Puerto Rico Bikini.
But humbly she will be the first to tell anyone: “I don’t want to be Playboy playmate Tamara Sky,” she said with a smile. ”I'm just DJ Tamara Sky who happened to do Playboy.”
Currently her newest mix “Pussy Violence II” and “Jet Lag” are on HEAVY rotation in my house and they should be in yours J
DJ Tamara Sky gladly inducted into the DAME family!!

Throwback Tuesday... MCM is making a comeback!
During the late 80s, early 90s, the MCM handbag was the "it" bag. Some of you 80s babies may be more familiar with the brand. I remember my stylish Grandmother, aka. my fashionista mentor, owning some of the MCM luggage and carrying a couple different styles of their handbags. She always had the hottest handbags, so at a young age I knew there had to be something special about this designer/brand.
For those of you that may not be familiar with this iconic brand, here's a little info and history:
MCM also known as "Mode Creation Munich" was fashioned in Munich, Germany in 1976. MCM reflects the Roman numerals "1900", symbolizing the new concept of travel at the turn of the 20th century, hence their brand motto and vision: "The art of travel. The spirit of adventure. Life is a journey"
MCM provides luxury leather goods, apparel, accessories, and footwear. They combine iconic German engineered functionality with traditional craftmenship and a heritage of elegance.
History behind the Logo -
*The Munich Lion emblem symbolizes Henry the Lion, the father of its birthplace.
*The Laurel Leaves pay homage to King Ludwig I's passion for all things neoclassical, representing the Greek meaning for victory and achievement with honor.
*The MCM Diamond represents value, strength, and durability without compromise in beauty. Legend has it the diamond behind this inspiration, the Wittelsbach Diamond - a 35.56 carat (WOW!) - sold in 2008, for the highest price ever paid at auction for a diamond.
MCM decided to diversify, as many designers have come accustom to doing, and collaborate with other designers/fashionistas/stylists/costume designers/celebrities to create personally customized collections. Check out some of MCM collabos that I LOVE:

*Sloppy Second Fashion Shows...*
OMG!!!! *Hides face* I AM ashamed of how neglectful I have been of my baby! If I were a mother I would be locked up somewhere for it! It’s been a crazy few weeks and I am constantly battling how one lives and enjoys life while also blogging about it…
About two weekends ago I was privileged enough to attend the first annual “Stay Fresh” Fashion show presented by Honey Hustle Entertainment and all the cool kids of Peters street! The atmosphere was great it was held in a huge warehouse/loft space. Definitely underground coolness!!
I did snap some pics of DAME worthy chicas including Kat “VaughC” CEO of Honey Hustle and the production Manager Lashori. The event was sponsored by JAGER, so you already know how I was feeling on to the next one……

| LOVE the sequins and the trashy pantyho's combo! |
 |
| AMAZING! |
 |
| A pair of Dames!! |
 |
| Another pair of Dames... I think there's a trend, Dames usually come in pairs? hmmm |
 |
| My fav new fall trend brought to me by DAMEVINTAGE@blogspot.com.. I'll be rocking socks and knee highs all fall/winter! |
NOW…
this is where things get a little hazy, you know after all the JAGERbombs…
This half is just to show you how GDTA…. (Great Dames Think Alike). My PIC (partner n crime) met me at “Sloppy Seconds” an underground party thrown every second Saturday at MGQ! This party satisfies my urge for DANCE MUSIC, cheap Beer (PBR’s), and themed parties!!!
She showed up in a black and white striped shirt, a perfect pair to my black and white stripped dress and ONE of the featured DJ’s Tamara sky also had on a striped shirt as well that she rocked with a trucker cap leaned to the side! (She’s pictured because I love seeing girls HANDLE “boy”jobs and look good while doing it). She was hands down the BEST DJ of the night and when we have our launch party we are flying her in for sure!!! Anywho it was a perfect way to end a great night!!
 |
| Goners!! |
 |
| DJ TamaraSky...oh,lol it says it on the computer... |
loves it!!
 | |
|
JUST BECAUSE…
I took some pictures of the murals on the walls that night. (Every show they change them). These were pretty cool!
Local ATL designers did there thing! I was truly in awe of how innovative and drop dead gorgeous the clothes were!! Just goes to show that all the hot clothes aren’t in the stores yet! I will definitely have the names and pics of the designers as soon as I get them from Kat!
