Sheikha Mozah hailed as new queen of fashion



Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser al Missned, the second wife of Qatar's emir, appears to have outdone even Lady Gaga's eclectic fashion sense with her seemingly Arctic-inspired footwear during their three-day state visit to London.
Spotted as she and Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani – one of the world's richest monarchs – toured the Olympic stadium in east London with the Queen and Prince Philip, she was wearing Chanel's new collection boots...the latter combine trainers, stilettos and bootees into something nearer contemporary sculpture than couture.
We love it !

Brett Favre Knocked Out of Patriot Game

 Brett Favre rested peacefully in the arms of a trainer after getting knocked out of the game between the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots. The trainer gently cradled Favre like a sleeping baby while applying direct pressure to the fallen quarterback's bleeding chin. 
 Perhaps even worse than the blow to Favre's face was the devastation suffered by his ego. Backup quarterback Tarvares Jackson completed a touchdown pass on his first attempt after replacing Favre. Jackson followed that with a completed a pass for the subsequent two point conversion. 
 The Vikings went on to lose 28-18. Brad Childress may be the happiest coach ever to have an injured first string quarterback. He can turn the team over to Jackson as they limp through the rest of a disappointing season. The coffin may be closing on Brett Favre's career on Halloween 2010.

Most attendees The Daily Caller interviewed at Comedy Central political pundits Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s rally to “Restore Sanity and/or Fear” didn’t know for whom they are voting on November 2. They did, however, know they’re voting Democrat, down the line, because, they said, Republicans don’t fit their mold of “moving forward” in the country.
For instance, Liz Pifer, a student at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, Pa., told TheDC that though she plans to vote in the midterm elections on Tuesday, she didn’t know who was running for Pennsylvania’s open Senate seat. She later said that she thought Joe Sestak was running, and that she’ll probably vote for him because he’s a Democrat. As for House candidates, she said, “I don’t know who’s running.”
Tara Formica, a junior in college in New Jersey, told TheDC she’s not sure if she’ll vote on Tuesday, and that “it kind of just depends.” She said she came to the rally Saturday “just to come,” and that she didn’t know who was running in her district.
There were some real idiots there too........

Jason Williams Unjustly Ejected, Suspended


 Jason Williams is the first regular season victim of David Stern's new no tolerance technical foul policy. He received two technicals for calmly discussing a charging call he disagreed with. He was then suspended for lightly touching the arm of the ref who gave him the calls.
 White Chocolate is now a third string PG for the Orlando Magic behind Jameer Nelson and Chris Duhon. Even so, does the league want to be known for suspending players for marginal offenses? What other contact sport would eject a player for simply disagreeing with a ref and then suspended him for gently touching the ref's arm?
 Stern tried to increase the range of technical foul calls in the 2006-07 season. The rules were scaled back by January of that season after players filed an unfair labor practice charge against the league with the National Labor Relations Board.
 The players may need to revisit those tactics again if Stern and vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson continue to mete out petty technical fouls & unwarranted suspensions. 
    

They Were Warned

Delonte West Wilds Out On Wafer

 Delonte West has reportedly gotten into a couple small fights with guard Von Wafer at recent Celtics practices. West, who is currently on home detention and probation for gun charges, instigated both incidents on the court. The most recent incident continued in the locker room after practice.
 While West serves out a ten game league suspension, Wafer is the player taking his in-game minutes. Wafer has played in two of the Celtics three games. In ten minutes of total action, he's gotten the same number of points, assists, rebounds, steals and blocks as the suspended West - zero. One turnover and one foul are the only numbers Wafer has posted so far this season. 
 Here's video of West taking it to Von Wafer in practice, leading to their first altercation last week. They were playing in a 2-on-2 drill and at 0:48 of the clip, West viciously posted up Wafer before assistant coach Lawrence Frank called a foul. West punctuated the action by yelling, "Do something about it!" at Wafer. 
 
 Alex Kennedy of hoopsworld.com said West and Wafer battled during a 3-on-3 drill at Celtics' practice on Friday. Wafer left the court early when West began fouling him every time he touched the ball.
 Later in the locker room, West sucker punched a seated Wafer from behind leading to fists flying and a floor fight that was broken up by their teammates.
 "There was a fight and that's all you need to know," coach Doc Rivers acknowledged. "I'm not real thrilled that it happened, but we'll handle it."
 Celtics president Danny Ainge said, "Guys talk trash and that kind of stuff but I'm not aware of any other altercation among any players at all during the course of the year. These things happen. It's not acceptable behavior. We'll just handle it internally and that's it.
 Von Wafer was asked about the incidents and he deferred to his bosses. 
 "I don't know what's going on. You gotta talk to Doc and Danny about that. I don't even know what's going on. What happened?"
 "Supposedly you and (Delonte) had a fight," said a reporter.
 "You gotta talk to Doc and Danny," said Wafer.
 "Did you have a fight?"
 "You gotta talk to Doc and Danny."
 Danny Ainge instigated and agitated throughout his NBA career. He fought opposing guards and centers. He fought stars and journeymen. He also became the only front office executive ever fined for distracting opposing players on the court after he threw a towel in the air during J.J. Hickson's free throw attempts in last year's Celtics-Cavs series. 
 Ainge knows how chippy basketball can get, especially with a tough, edgy competitor like Delonte West. I bet that deep down, Ainge is more impressed by West's fire than by the maturity displayed by Von Wafer in walking away from violence. Had Ainge been Delonte's target, he would've hit West back even harder after each foul with no thought given to walking off the court early.
 In training camp this year, Doc Rivers called West, "The most competitive player I've ever coached." Ainge and Rivers knew who they were signing when they brought West back for his second stint with the Celtics. The same guy that intimidates his teammate who's trying to take his minutes will go even harder against opponents. The Celtics will have no problem waiting out the seven games left in West's suspension. 
 Shaquille O'Neal knows West well from playing together in Cleveland last season. He sums up Delonte's NBA outlook in Big Shamrock style.
 "He's on the big "P" so if he messes up with the big "P" he can get the "J". Peanut butter and jelly. Probation and jail. He's going to be cool and we're going to keep him in line."
 Hopefully Shaq and Kevin Garnett will help keep Delonte focused this year. It would be better to see West thriving like Ron Artest on a championship caliber NBA team than looking for work in Turkey like Allen Iverson.

Run to the Giorgio Armani corner... Run and don't look back!


I was celebrating my sweet sixteen last week ( I know, I wish...Whatever! ), and a lovely fashionista friend of mine , bought me the perfect gift !

Yes I am using the word PERFECT!
For something like 10 years , I have been addicted to Red lipstick ... My dear mummy being french, she always said that red lipstick and a touch of Chanel N5 were enough to get ready for any occasion ... from a cup of tea under the amazing and unforgettable sun in south of France , to the craziest Parisian parties... I learn my lesson and here I am, 10 years later... I feel like my confidence is growing when I am wearing red lipstick (and as well always feel like my dear Maman is close to me ! ).

10 years... During this long time of faithfulness, I have been wearing Chanel Rouge ! it took me a dinner with my Hong Kong BFFs, a party to celebrate my 25 years old and a few glasses of champagne to cheat on Chanel ! I now have the taste of Giorgio on my lips ... and I think it's now too late to go back...

This lipstick is brilliant and lasts all night long! I can finally drink and kiss my boyfriend without having to stop by the washroom 268 times a night to fix my make up...

Brilliance ... just run and forget your old lipstick...

Frida Gustavsson for Elle Sweden November 2010








Alright! I have been trying hard to hide the truth to myself when it comes to Swedish style...

My other half being Swedish , I spend a good part of my time making fun of Swedish people and their perfect and magazine lookalike style...

Here it goes ... I am absolutely jealous of Swedish people!

Why do they get everything ( And careful , I AM ONLY TALKING FASHION NOW !) right !????

I remember walking in the streets of Stockholm last summer and it was everywhere ... Fashion was everywhere! They don't even try , they are Fashion (with a capital F)

Then don't need to spend a lot to look good, and just know what to wear and what accessories to pair it with to turn a casual style into a brilliant, extravagant, creative style...

Enough now ... all this to say that this shoot in the new issue of Swedish Elle looks beyond amazingness... Those boots are to die for, Frida never ever looked as stunning and we love the countryside/horse riding kind of topic (being a horse lover ! )

Have a lovely sunny day in HK and don't forget : keep an eye on Swedish people...

You know what they say... Keep your friends closer, your enemies even closer !
