“SULLEN” DANCING JEANS
In the Milan studio, white sphagnum moss, peat tar, Irish rock moss, wood pulp had been spun together with graphene-fibre thread to make the cloth he’d imagined.
Orli had then made David the best pair of jeans in the world. Worn in “sullen” reverence to Orli’s superior craftsmanship, on day two David’s skin would mysteriously have a glow.
The jeans made David want to dance, so they were tagged as only his jeans, for now.
In his jeans, in the kani kani of life, dance David did.
–from a line from a novel set in the future.

70th GOLDEN GLOBES ARRIVALS – FASHION COUTURE IN A COLD SNAP 2013
It’s couture time in the Hollywood hood.
So glad I don’t have to go and sign my life away getting the jewels from Beverly Hills stores for stars this year under my name. Or the Plus Ones either in some cases! Phewsh. Three weeks energy saved. Winning. :)
Pictured: Family team Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green‘s night out from parenting baby Noah and Kassius, showcases Fox wearing a Dolce & Gabbana dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, Lorraine Schwartz jewels, and a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch. Gorgeous fish smart business glamour, seems to be the duo’s theme. Young Hollywood upstart, Hayden Panettiere arrives solo. Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Alba both arrived looking every bit the Latina American princesses and hard working moms that they both are. Hot picks (that should be seen) are, Taylor Swift‘s surprising turn in a regal purple swish gown. Amy Adams wearing Roberto Cavalli, delicously adorable.
More couture fashion at THR.

PEOPLE. TWEET. GOLDEN GLOBES – MAKING CLIMATE CHANGE ADVOCACY FASHIONABLE CONSCIOUSLY
Social media. Film. Events. Stars: It is true… People. Tweet. Golden Globes.
In the US it’s the no.1 thing to do at this time.
The entire year of film’s best movies, critics words, journalists work, audience perceptions and collation via social media platforms, will all be reduced to one image. What image are a billion or so people in a race to see?
It most probably will be (as it has, the last few major movie prize shows): Christina Hendricks if she turns up this year.
Or a star of similar look to Christina will rock the gig.
Because that’s the way, these shows tend to go, perhaps Christina Hendricks should be a future trade advocate in how to reduce the greed of fossil fuels over-useage and climate change’s rising heat effects.
It might help raise awareness on the issue, using the Globes as a platform to do so.
For example, Al Gore got that Oscar that time on global warming.
He went on to start a US news TV station and then he went on to onsell it to Qatar billionaires.
How that links to climate change… no one was all that sure of last week, yet a Qatar focus on news, helps reduce war in the Mid-East and the world.
Reducing war, also can help reduce rising climate change effects. (more…)
RIHANNA IS THE No.1 MOST VOTED STAR OF 2012

Down to earth Island girl humility fused with Angeleno cosmopolitan elegance. From magazine covers to r n’ b, pop and hip hop cross-over music fusion, there’s just no stopping Riri. The reigning queen of America’s pride of exotics. Riri is always so sexy.
No.1… congrats.

KNITTING & WOOL, MILANO
In other bloggers who blog and share their views of the world, news – Stuff You Can Do With Wool:
Here, the autumn has not arrived yet. A light rain washes the streets. At night. Without any noise. Almost surreptitiously. If it were not for the glow and the unusual lucidity of the liquefied asphalt.
Qui l’autunno ancora non è arrivato. Una leggera pioggia bagna le strade. Di sera. Di nascosto. Quasi senza farsene accorgere. Se non fosse per quel bagliore e l’insolita lucidità dell’asfalto liquefatto.

RODEO DRIVE, DUNEDIN COUNTRY DENIM SOUTHERN FASHION STYLE & USA’S TOP TEN – 17th NOVEMBER 2012
Are you tired of the concrete jungle, the traffic and the smog of the big city? Why not go a bit country then. Denim fashion is what you need to know before you jet.
Cowboy denim style: photographed by Azim Haidaryan.
Paul Robinson of Dunedin runs Rodeo Drive Southland, New Zealand. Being a cowboy is his family’s gig.
USA, Canada and Australia are riding south to New Zealand for a rodeo. In Australia’s GQ Magazine coutback fashion style takes a cowboy twist in Australia’s multicultural cosmopolitan cities. Click on pic above to see denim, country cowboy style. Mark Sainsbury and Mercury TV original reporter of Invercargill, Megan Martin reporting.
USA’s Top Ten are:
1. Boutique Kiwi Beer & The Horiwood Top Ten November
2. Online search engine fed audience requested news trends – From The Hat
3. NFL-RnB Sports Entertainment cross-over: Beyonce lands TV’s no.1 gig
6. Maori playwight Briar Grace Smith
7. Justin Timberlake‘s art of cross-over music cool
9. Steady rock whispers dj soundz
10. The Ocean, The Moana & New Zealand’s Aquaculture Haven paradise isles
A Google, SEO listed selection.
GQ‘s Wayne Gross writes: Think Indiana Jones and Dallas, a cowboy is never complete without the perfect cowboy hat – see Akubra for one. Don’t be afraid to wear a denim shirt with denim jeans, just be sure to break up the ensemble with a classic chocolate leather belt. Don’t shy away from an expensive pair of jeans. They’ll last you longer, and certainly look the part. Boots are made for walking – and in this case complete any cowboy look. Lighter styles in shades of caramel and cream contrast well with darker denim. Hold up your denim with a good quality leather belt with an oval buckle.
If you still prefer the city or your tastes are more Brit-Brat Pack Martini Club in style. Also check out - A Fashion Retrospective – Style Tips from HRH Prince Charles. Having lived in California, cowboy culture of Cali is synonymous to tequila, margueritas and chillaxed beer with a tonne of salt and fresh lime. El Gringo Style on the Hollywood range totally… and the sweetest waitresses with chola brows and cheesy smiles, spring to mind too. Lol!
