Janelle Monae rocks my world. She looks like a dandified Billy Holiday, and her sound is…well, like no other. Her new album The ArchAndroid is a genre defying musical tour de force in which she’s created her own world.  And I’m buying a ticket.

Check out her fantastic video for ‘Many Moons’ here - and enjoy!

So I was having lunch with a colleague at the Beverly Hilton last week, and Queen Latifah happened to be filming a movie at the hotel. I am a HUGE fan of hers, and it turns out she’s a fan of Myles of Style…..color me gobsmacked. Pinch me, pinch me, pinch me now.

When I grow up…

Lynn Yeager is a fixture on the fashion scene, and I LOVE her look. She’s freaky deeky, singular and surprising. (I’m not saying I’ll want to traipse about looking like a giant cupie doll when I’m her age, but I love that she does.) This woman makes life interesting. She also make me miss New York.

Real teen girls, on the streets of Sydney, Australia.

(Confidence, personal flair and no semi-nakedness…. they rock.)

She’s got that strange alien/lunar vibe  (and I find her lack of makeup on the red carpet totally fascinating). Plus, talk about knowing what silhouette works for you!

Oh, Viv

Vivienne Westwood is sublime. The undisputed Brit matriarch of punk-goddess fashion, and a perfect example of what it looks like to age with wit, grace, and heavy style. When I grow up I want to be just like her.

Vivienne Westwood

In case you’re unaware of her protean talent, take a gander at some of her outrageous creations…

Dita on her wedding day - ill fated, but Lawd Lawd, that dress!

Leona, working what appears to be a swirl of smoke

Emily -- now, THIS is how you show up to a red carpet...

Carrie in the mutha' of all wedding gowns. Swoon now.

Do you see?! To die for. Totally theatrical, mythical and feminine all at once. Long live Viv.
