Hairpiece Extravaganza

Florian Dovillez's Hat Collection Yatzer

Thanks to Gaga, today's hairpieces are bold fashion accessories, designed to transform their wearers as dramatic actors on life's stage. Florian Dovillez's 50s-inspired, gorgeous 'Hat Collection' is made of 100% human hair in monochromatic silhouettes that are exclusively bleach blond and deep black.

Dovillez’s hats are contemporary classics with a strong seductive character and an eye absorbing beauty. Their elegance lays to the fact that you cannot really distinguish the hat from the model’s  actual hair, blurring the lines between what is real and what isn’t.

Mulleavy Sisters Rodarte at Pitti Filati

Florentine Dream Style Bubble

Rodarte teamed up with Alexandre de Betak, creating a series of fluttering dresses surrounded by light and sound. The Mulleavy sisters said their project was inspired by Bernini's 'The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa' in Rome and Fra Angelico's frescoes in the monk's cells in the depths of the Convent of San Marco in Florence.

AXE Knocks Off Victoria's Secret Angels Brilliantly & Better!

X-Posted SN FP & AOC FP

OMG! The Phoenix is rising. First she fell to earth in Kanye West's Runaway and now Axe has knocked off Victoria's Secret's Angels Anne style. Reading more, they knocked off VS with this campaign a couple years ago, but apparently never brought it to America.

Update: a friend in Paris says she saw it there two weeks ago at the cinema and described the commercial as "very impressive."

And I living under a rock or something? This campaign can play in other countries of the world but not here? I really don't know.

Still, I'm starting to see an army of truly sensual phoenix angels falling to earth to clean up the testosterone-infused mess of a world we have on our hands.  Brands create an army of Angels to save men from themselves.

Dove -- also owned by Unilever -- could tie in on this campaign.

Axe needs to compete with Old Spice, which has become a steamroller marketing campaign with Isaiah Mustafa. This is just the strategy to do it.

Kanye West | Karl Lagerfeld | VMAN #21

Styleite says it was Karl Lagerfeld's idea to cut open Kanye West's mouth of the cover of the new VMan magazine and stuff real actual one-dollar bills into it. As if to say, “Every time Yeezy opens his mouth, he makes money. And we would like very much to share some of that with you.”

One in every 10 covers carrying mini loot.

When the Subject Is Lingerie, Will the Kanye West Phoenix Bashing Begin?

Note: all images from 'Runaway'| We haven't read other reviews of Kanye West's new short film 'Runaway'. The earliest comments on prominent blogs were so stupid, they reminded Anne of why America has sunk to the bottom of global academic scores, except for scoring #1 in confidence.

Anne considers 'Runaway' to be provocative and an artistic achievement, one that documents Kanye West as a true thinker, even if his bad manners sabotaged him at the Grammys, and the paps consider him a thug for messing up their cameras. We agree with West that the paps killed Princess Diana.

All is forgiven, because Kanye West is looking at women and female-centric principles through a fresh lens, and we like it.

Trying to keep Sensuality News simple, Anne had no desire to pursue Kanye West's key character, former Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, who appears as a phoenix in the film, into the American political netherland.
