If a Woman Can Wear Suits, Why can't Men Wear Skirts?




 
 
 

   
    If Women Can Wear Suits, Why Can’t Men Wear Skirts? (via The Los Angeles Fashion)
   
       The Spring and Fall Fashion Shows of this year have displayed many unique trends, one of them being men wearing skirts. Is this just going to be another FAD or will it actually become a TREND for men? The controversy behind it I’m sure will help determine that! In  1966 Yves Saint Laurent put France…
   

 

 

"House of Label" Stylize Che'nelle

What is it like to be a superstar? 

Well we started the shooting day as an early bird at roughly 9am. And since Che'nelle travel pretty much every 7 days of the week to either New York, Japan or back to LA. We meet up at my studio to drive out to location, which is for me 3 hrs drive but mapquest lie and say 2 hrs. Anyway we started out grabbing starbucks and then McDonals, and this was just 5 mins into our long day shoot and we are already stuffing our faces.

As we drove out to the Los Angeles fabulous always stuck I-10 East, then to 605 N, then 210 East, then 15N... and for me 5 hrs later we arrive to Bumpfuck Egypt... LOL JK.

So we arrived to Fidel and Joshua 5 acres ranch where the world champion horse are breed, feed and exercise like professional athlete. When I die, I want to be reincarnated into a show horse, or in my case a unicorn!!!

So as I stretch out my old corps and try to regain the feeling of my now numb bottom, we unload about 30 outfits that I'd pull, bought and rent out from. We run over concept of looks and Che'nelle is now in Makeup. As I waited for the magic of Fidel, which took a good 2 hrs. We when from critiquing how giant JLo ass was at the American Idol performance recently, to the secret of horse semen... yes horse semen... if you want to know the details, ask Fidel. 

And since it was too far of a location from LA, everyone now find out Peter Phan also a hairstylist. just to add into my long list of profession. I mean it is not that hard to curl hair, the only thing I can't do is be the president of the United State. Anywho as I set Che'nelle hair into section and curl pin into place, Fidel finish off her make-up, highlight, contour, lips, eyebows, eye shadow, blush, yada yada yada.



We set up for our first location which is with a giant black stallion name Oscar's who I like to call "Big and Black". 



After that we move into a hay room where there are about 30 chickens hanging out watching the shoot.


It is now 7pm as we race to our next location as the sun is setting which was about 10 mins away to this abandon field of tree stumps and grass and dry up bushes.... and did I say the ground was covered in spider webs and ant hills... 



It is now about 9pm as we headed back to the ranch and do our last look of the day, the "Vine of Eden" we are all exhausted, tire, hungry, sleepy, grumpy and bitchy queens... thinking of driving back to LA at that time is a nightmare. We finish our last shot around 11pm... that's a wrap.


Now a very long long long long drive back. we reach LA around 2am...  Can barely open our eyes... Che'nelle and I jump into a close by Vietnamese Pho and stuff our face before headed home... A few hours Later Che'nelle catch a 20 hrs flight to Japan, and I a 5 hrs drive to the desert of Arizona.

And that's what it is like to spend a day with Superstars.
