Rock The Runway 2011

This Saturday I headed up to the city for my first fashion show of 2011. I’ll start off in saying I found the night to be glamorous, fun, and fashionable. The best part is that at the end of the day was that by being there we were supporting the incredible cause behind War Child; an organization I have briefly been involved with in the past. Rock The Runway takes the best of music and fashion to fuse a night filled to the rim with creativity. Rock the Runway took place on March 5th at the ROM, and was hosted by Much Music VJ Sarah Taylor and musician Brendan Beamish. A designer that really wowed me was Baby Stienberg. All of their designs had strange and wonderful shapes. The creative use of fabric and exposing skin had us on the edge of our seats! I’m quite the fan of rising star, fashion designer Christopher J. Nevin. Once again he displaying an incredible talent that can’t be made through school. This is the same designer mentioned in this previous fashion show. The event went off without a flaw, except for the food. The world’s most luxurious people may have a taste for spicy rice crispy squares, but ‘commoners’, such as myself, do not. With that all said it was a simply stellar night that truly knew how to rock the house! This is one event I will most certainly be attending again.
Ps. I wasn’t taking photos, so I’ll find some and post them later!

Emma Watson's Symbolic Haircut

In a recent interview with British Vogue, Emma Wattson revieled that she was obligated by contract, not cut her hair or tan. So for almost a decade, thats what she did. Now that The last movie is filmed, as a symbol to coming of age, she did what many women do it times of change; cut her hair. Now the lovely British Star is sporting an untra-chic pixie cut (Similar to Twiggy's Iconic do'). Personally I love it! I mean, when your one of the worlds most beautiful women, it's hard to go wrong.

Stunning.

Dead-icated to Image

The following passage is from this "365 Days of Fashion" book I have. It seemed to be worth sharing. But I take no credit for the writing, facts or anything.

"Year 1793: Marie Antoinette heads to the guillotine wearing a brand-new white dress, a white scarf around her shoulders, and a pleated white cap on her prematurely white hair (she’s only 37). Spectators are stunned, because she’s been wearing the same ratty black mourning gown for the past two months in prison. It appears that she’s saved this outfit in her prison cell for the day of her execution, determined to go out with a fashion bang."

Painting/drawing of her last outfit.

Don't Tempt Me

This wonderful woman by the name of Shelly gave me this hat-like thing. So I just had to doll myself up and take a couple pictures. So here they are...

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!


Well my lovelies, this year I have two public New Years Resolutions.

1. Keep up with my skin/hair care resigmine. I know I'll regret going to bed with my make-up on when I'm older.

2. BLOG MORE! Keep up with my blogging, and my fashionizing.

Thanks everyone for the amazing support! Have an amazing year!
Peace,
Victoria Gallagher-Morton

This is a Title

I have a few things I need to say in this post. Let’s get the obvious out of the way. Yes, I had a good holiday and yes I’m sure you all had a good holiday too. And the other thing; once again, I’m sorry for my embarrassingly large hiatus from writing. I’ve been interning for GLASS Magazine (release spring 2011), and all my writing creativity has been put towards that. Anyhoodles, let’s get on with the big stuff shall we.


ONE. I originally wrote this on my new Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. I thought this feat was of notable significance.


TWO. REBLOGGING is not BLOGGING. I’ve recently come across this blogging site tumblr, much like blogger or BlogSpot, only on this one you can “reblog”. Because of this little button, most of the content on any given blog is unoriginal. I have nothing against sharing work, and spreading the word, but it bothers me that this may be turning into a habit. I personally think it’s a little demeaning to put true bloggers edited and planned work under the same title as tumblr users clicking “reblog” and then being done with it. Again, I don’t want to offend many amazing tumblr blogs, but I just needed to put my thoughts out there.


THREE. I made a Christmas tree out of a lampshade and reused bottles, then topped it with Lady Gaga made from a Barbie. I shall make a post about it asap.

That’s all folks! Thanks for reading, and all that jazz! Happy Holidays and jolly New Year!

Lady Gaga X-Mas Tree

This Christmas I spiced things up. I made a Christmas tree from recycled materials, and then topped it with a Barbie that I turned into Lady Gaga. Here is the final result:



Barbie, pre-make over



Her shoe, modeled after Alexander McQueen!





Lady Gaga!



Hair bow, and then a hair bow inspired thing behind her.



The tree pre-paint. I basically cut up bottles, and arranged them with glue. Underneath is a lampshade from Goodwill.



Closer Look



Painted it green, then splashed lighter green to give it an abstract look. I found these little pink flowers in my house, so I put them on. After all that, I threw some glitter on, and bam! I'm done!


Peace Out!
Victoria
