Allow Me To Ask You A Question....

 

Cocaine Princess here,

Allow me to ask you a question-- If you spotted a clown outside your window in the middle of the night just staring at you, you'd freak out, right? I never liked clowns and that includes Ronald McDonald. I remember when I was a little girl and venturing into the Golden Arches with my mom for a hamburger and fries, there stood the gigantic statue of Ronald right in the middle of the restaurant just creepily staring at everyone, or at least that's how I felt.
 
So why am I rambling on about clowns? Apparently there's a clown that bears an eerie resemblance to Pennywise, the killer clown from Stephen King’s IT, a man calling himself the “Northampton Clown” is creeping out the town of Northampton, England.

The first video of this disturbed person has him emerging from a lake dressed in his full clown costume. The unnerving character is shown standing knee-deep in water, and waves at the camera while otherwise staying completely still. Click here to see that video.

Pennywise has recently taken to playing games with those who follow his Facebook page, leaving clues about his next appearance. Earlier this week he dropped hints before appearing to dedicated fans on Northampton's Elm Street - a reference to the Nightmare on Elm Street horror films and this past week he appeared at the foot of the town's iconic National Lift Tower. Why the clown is there and what he or she is doing has baffled local residents and social media users around the world. Thousands of people have been following the story on Twitter since the sightings began, using the hashtag #northamptonclown.  

According to one report he also knocked on the door of a Northampton woman's house and offered to paint her window sills - despite appearing to have no painting utensils or paint.

The identity of the clown is still a mystery, but according to various reports, it appears to be a prank of some sort, as Boris, the Northampton Clown Catcher, has also surfaced on Facebook and vowed to catch the elusive clown.
 
What are your thoughts about this? Is it all an elaborate prank? Some type of publicity stunt or is he just a die hard Stephen King fan?

Oh Crap!

Cocaine Princess here.

Oh crap are the exact two words I said out loud when I remembered I was suppose to post a Sunday entry. 

Double crap is what I uttered when I realized I didn't even have a draft written up. Ooops! I pondered for a couple of minutes on what I should do and came to a decision. I'll wait til Friday to post. 

In the meantime, who else is excited that Paris Fashion Week kicks off this Tuesday? I know I am.

XOXOXO,
Cocaine Princess

In the meantime....

My loyal and dear readers it's finally Friday.

Whatever your plans are have a tremendous last weekend of Summer. ~x

Friday The 13th: A Drunken Pig & NY Fashion Week S/S 2014

 

Cocaine Princess here.

Oh my God what a busy week this has been and on top of everything else the week ends on a Friday the 13th.

Is there really danger lurking on this day? Is the day really unlucky? Or is it all in our heads? Whatever the reason the fear of the 13th is the most widespread superstition. Hotels and hospitals often skip the 13th floor, and even airports quietly omit gate 13 sometimes.  The fear of Friday the 13th has been called friggatriskaidekaphobia. Frigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom "Friday" is named in English and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen. 

By the way, did you know, Jason Voorhees is a name with 13 letters in it?

Last week I posted about New York Fashion Week. There were 2 shows I was really excited about.

Tommy Hilfiger

The venue was held in a hangar~space on the West Side filled with sand and a man made  boardwalk for the surf-inspired styles. There were no celebrities at the show. Mr. Hilfiger follows the lead of Oscar de la Renta, who limited his guest list, telling reporters he was focusing on the people who had a real reason to be there, not '20 million people with zero connection to the clothes.''I don't like the drama in the fashion world. I like to do our thing without the drama,' he said backstage before his show. Instead, the front row was largely boldface editors, stylists and of course members of the Hilfiger family. 

The theme for his collection was "California cool attitude" and I was interested in seeing what his interpretation of that was.  'It's really from the inspiration of Melrose to Malibu, and we brought Malibu to New York,' he said. 'It's about surfing and skating, sporty lifestyles, about color and the modern cool woman.' 

Victoria Beckham

The former Spice Girl's collection was filled with sheer floaty tops. Black and white designs featured heavily in the collection.  White was a popular color in the collection as was flashes of color.

  

Victoria's collection gathered high praise from critics but there was one special person in attendance who stole the show. Little Miss Harper Seven Beckham who was sitting in the front row on her daddy's lap.

  

Harper wearing a pale blue baby Chloé summer dress managed to do the impossible. She made the most powerful woman in fashion Anna Wintour, smile. A rare thing indeed. Below is my absolute favorite picture from the show. I melted when I saw this. How can anyone not smile looking at it, after all Harper Seven is so delicious........as is her daddy. 

New York Fashion Week is over and starting today it's officially Fashion Week in London.

I read this article the other day and thought the headline was a joke: "Feral pig drinks 18 cans of beer, fights cow and then passes out drunk under tree." It turns out it really did happen. Click here for the article.

The Exciting Month Of September

Cocaine Princess here.

September is always an exciting month and no not because the colorful season of Fall arrives but because it's the most fashionable time of the year. Yes it's Fashion Week, where designers will be displaying their latest collections. The world will get a taste of what's "in" and what's "out." I'm beyond excited and can't wait to see what the designers have in store for Spring/Summer 2014. Fashion Week kicks off in The Big Apple and then will move to London, Milan and lastly Paris. Two of the shows in the Big Apple I'm looking forward in watching is Victoria Beckham (only because David Beckham will be of course sitting in the front row supporting his posh wife) and designer Tommy Hilfiger's show. I don't normally wear preppy style clothes but word has it his new collection will feature the ease and attitude of the West Coast lifestyle and iconic California beaches.

And speaking of fashion, did you hear about Russell Brand and Hugo Boss? Russell unleashed a rant aimed at Hugo Boss over the clothing brand's ties to the Nazi Regime. The comedian took to the stage Tuesday, Sept. 3rd at the British GQ Men of the Year awards at The Royal Opera House in London to accept the Oracle Award. Instead of a short thank you, Brand decided to use the podium to take a jab at Hugo Boss, the event's presenter. He appeared on stage after London Mayor Boris Johnson picked up the gong for Politician of the Year. After Johnson joked about the recent alleged chemical attack in Syria, Brand said: "Glad to grace the stage where Boris Johnson has just made light of the use of chemical weapons in Syria meaning that GQ can now stand for genocide quips. I mention that only to make the next comment a bit lighter because if any of you know a little bit about history and fashion, you'll know Hugo Boss made the uniforms for the Nazis. "But they did look f*****g fantastic, let's face it, while they were killing people on the basis of their religion and sexuality." Brand also placed a finger under his nose to mimic the Adolf Hitler mustache and did a Basil Faulty-style comedic goosestep across the stage. He was then ejected from the awards ceremony's after-party following the joke about the event's £250,000 sponsor, reportedly shouting "Nazi sympathizers."

Oh but it doesn't end there.

Brand later tweeted an argument he had with GQ editor Dylan Jones to his near-seven million followers. He wrote: "GQ editor: 'What you did was very offensive to Hugo Boss.' Me: 'What Hugo Boss did was very offensive to the Jews.'" #nazitailor

(The video clip of Russell Brand can be viewed here)

Also present at the award show was The Who's Roger Daltry who had this to say in regards to Boris Johnson: "When I was listening to Boris's speech I was reminded of the wonderful lyric that I sang when I was 19 years old: 'I hope I die before I get old'."
  
Never let it be said the world of fashion is boring.

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.

Whatever your plans are have a fantastic first week of September.~x
