I Wish Naomi Hit Me

Naomi Campbell is a certain kind of blackberry tossing Goddess that is unsurpassed, in her talent, beauty and reputation... at least in my books.

 
(the following videos are about a half an hour segment of Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks from the Tyra show; no idea about the original air date)...




I'm not even going to sugar coat it, I don't like Tyra Banks; even in that above interview she comes off really condescending and passive aggressive to me. Her show has been cancelled (finally) and I think America's Next Top Model is on it's way off the air in no time...

Yeah, game on Tyra.

Bottom line is, Tyra wants people to think she's Mother fucking Theresa whereas Naomi knows she's got issues and could give a damn what people think. And that is why I will always be #TEAMNAOMI.

Liz & Dick but mostly Lindsay.

"She hated being called Liz, but she lived" - Elizabeth Taylor

Now, I'll be the first to admit I still love LiLo, I will always love LiLo. I grew up with LiLo. But this made me cringe...

Holy Shit, right? I mean she is the train wreck of the century but that video really puts that shit into perspective. And I really do think she has a talent to back her up, I just think she needed a lot more time attempting to get her shit together before trying to star as someone as legendary as Elizabeth Taylor (albeit it's a lifetime movie but whatever). It's premiering sometime at the end of this month but word on the street is it's basically being taken as an unintentional comedy... so bad it's good perhaps?


Whatever, I'll probably end up having a viewing party of it and recording it on DVR to rewatch because Lindsay will always be my favorite hot mess...

 I'm pretty sure Terry Richardson shot all of these, I know he definitely shot most.

Lindsay Lohan is the best kind of hot mess around. That is all.

'Cat Daddy'

I, personally, fucking love Kate Upton but I find the opinions of others varying... with a lot of men liking her and a lot of women hating her. A lot of people also don't think she's "fit for the industry" as a model especially Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou, the casting director for Victoria Secret who labeled Kate as a "Page 3 Girl", stated that "She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy." and said they would never use her in a Victoria Secret fashion show. She's certainly not your typical high-fashion runway model but she's got that something, not to mention she's only twenty years old and an entirely self-made model.

She made the cover of the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition this year and in case you haven't become aware... she's a fucking babe.

Shot by Terry Richardson for GQ Magazine

Somewhere along the line in 2012 this happened;

and shit went VIRAL. She received a ton of criticism and a ton of praise... for her hot bod... and whatever, it's hot.

And so she may not be your typical high fashion runway model but she's beautiful and cool... I mean, that 'Cat Daddy' video just makes me want to be her friend and party with her. But even if you still hate her and think she doesn't belong anywhere in the modeling world like a lot of people (and brands) do - she's in it and I think she's in it big... as in, she's been the cover girl for the inaugural issue of Carine Roitfelds new magazine, CR Fashion Book. And Now, she's been featured in this months issue of VOGUE Italia shot by Steven Meisel...

I don't know what it is but I'm kind of infatuated with her and I can't describe why other than that I think she's gorgeous and someone I would probably like to meet and hang out with. You can love her or hate her, I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, all I'm saying is that she's going against the grain and succeeding in an industry that people think and say she can't.

she's a fucking bombshell... DUH!

I've changed my layout slightly - keeping the formatting of the blog the same for the most part. I've added a thick, black border where the links to my other pages are located as well as a few minor changes to the side bar (... and some other things). I'll currently be posting somewhat sporadically until things are ready but I'm now hoping to be fully up and running sooner rather than later.
Suggestions and critiques regarding the new layout/direction would be greatly appreciated.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥  

I posted a few of these on my tumblr and might as well share them here....

Cameron Diaz in all her blonde, leggy glory shot by Terry Richardson for Esquire Magazine.

You're Welcome
& Enjoy

So, yeah, if you weren't aware/happened to be living under a rock...
Cameron's a fucking bombshell... duh.

I can't believe this woman is forty, un-fucking-believeable-forty. I also love how she publicly admits her love for weed... how chill would it be to spark up a joint with her? Yeah, think about it.

I rest my case.

The Bitch in Black Goes To Rehab...

The Bitch in Black has been very sick... - not me, Alix Kat - the blog itself and it's time for The Bitch in Black to go to rehab.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I keep trying to create and operate blogs that will 'work' (or whatever other bullshit expectation I set for myself) and then life keeps happening and completely throws me off of any expectations or goals I may have had... I'm kind of distracted, like, really easily and I seem to accidentally draw to myself to chaos... and sometimes it's only the chaos in my head, either way... 
Welcome to Procrastination Nation.

So for starters I'm contemplating moving all of the current blog entries I have on The Bitch in Black onto one of my old 'archive' blogs and just starting The Bitch in Black completely anew.

[begin personal rant/revelations] I've got a lot of 'construction' to do on this site and I keep thinking about how badly I want it to work... but this time I need to not care if it to 'works' up to my expectations, this time I just want it to make me happy and I want to make any and all readers I have happy.
I want to help provide beauty, style and self love tips, music/movie/television reviews and interesting worldly and pop culture stories. I want to provide people generally interesting articles from a radical girls point of view... but ultimately this time it's for me - to write what I want to write about, post what I want to post, not give a damn about how many 'hits' I receive and let go of all the expectations of internet blogging that I've always had. It's time to finally let go and just write. [end personal rant/revelations]

Naturally The Bitch in Black will be on hiatus... or rather continue the hiatus I have been on and off of since day one. I need some time to figure out a strategy and plan with no expectations whatsoever. I know any of the few readers I have left have probably found this whole post quite boring but my first step is to address the current issues of me, my blogging (and inconsistency), the blog in itself as well as working on a direction and plan - so please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, concerns or critiques via alixdaignault@me.com.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The Bitch in Black blog will basically be going under the knife for a bit of cosmetic surgery and some severe therapy to figure itself out... I'm giving an estimate of 2-4 weeks for the grand reveal but will be making some (probably infrequent) updates in the mean time.

I've become very active again on my tumblr @ tatteredtights.tumblr so feel free to check that out as well as becoming active on twitter again so follow me @alixdaignault
