Girls Who Like Girls Edition - "Oh my my my... Omahyra Mota Garcia!"

So, I have a girl crush... (other than Janet Jackson, Halle Berry, and Adriana Lima - lol!).... and her name is Omahyra Mota Garcia! She's one of the most sought after high fashion/runway model and actress. Her look is very androgynous, fierce, and edgy.

Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Repulic, raised in Brooklyn, NY - this beauty was discovered at the tender age of 16 years old by BOSS Models. Since then, she's gone on to conquer the runways of Bill Blass, Alexander McQueen, Cynthia Steffe, Fendi, Nina Ricci, Sean John, Baby Phat, Heatherette, Jean Paul Gaultier, Roca Wear, Samantha Treacy, Gary Graham and Jay McCarroll. Also, she was flown in especially by Gwen Stefani for L.A.M.B.'s show during New York's 2005 Fashion Week. She's known for modeling fashions for both men and women! Dope! She's even done some acting. Her most commercially recognizable role being as mutant/super human - 'Arclight' in "X-Men: The Last Stand"

Take a gander at Omahyra... And all her HOTTNESS! Whew! Go 'head DAME Chic!

LOOOOOOOVE THIS! SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM! - MAYBE EVEN A LIL BETTER ;)

WELCOME TO THE "HONG KONG GARDEN"

I'm inspired by yet another great fashion editorial... Loving the bright colors, fun hair and make-up, and most of all - the styling - the fusion of kimono robes, destroyed denim shorts, vintage ACDC ti-shirts (a lil Asian flava mixed with some Hipster). A look I could totally see any DAME chic pulling off!

This photo is my FAV of the bunch! I woud totally where this ensemble!

*Dont be afraid to try this at home ;;)

SUPERNOVA: ONE OF FASHION'S BRIGHTEST STARS...CHANEL IMAN!

Hello my DAME darlings, it's been a while since my last post... my apologies... the good thing is there is so much for us to catch up on! ;)  To start the day off, I decided to shine the spotlight on a fashion industry superstar... Super Model... CHANEL IMAN! She has already made a name for herself gracing the pages of every major fashion magazine around the world and landing huge campaign deals with the industries top notch designers (ie. Victora Secret!!). She's everywhere... just pick up a magazine and you're bound to see this exotic beauty! Her signature angelic face and flawless skin along with her never ending long, thin limbs have definitely made her a sought after muse.

Shine on IMAN! You are definitely a Dame Chic and a SUPERNOVA in our eyes!
