KIM STOPS BY EBAY
Socialite Kim Kardashian is the latest celebrity to put her things on ebay up for auction. Currently up are items by Herve Leger, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, and Gucci that she has worn on the red carpet, as well as a shopping date with Kim and her sisters (bid is almost at $10,000!)
A percentage of the sales for all items will go to her favorite charity, the Dream Foundation, an organization that grants wishes to terminally-ill adults.
YVES SAINT LAUREN PASSES
Yves Saint Lauren | Corbis.comFrench fashion legend Yves Saint Laurent, an innovative designer and one of the best in the industry - died yesterday at the age 71:
The reclusive Saint Laurent died at his Paris home of a brain tumour late Sunday after a prolonged illness and is to be buried Thursday, said his long-time partner Pierre Berge.
Mentally and physically frail through most of his life, the bespectacled Saint Laurent retired from haute couture in 2002 after a four decade career in which he dressed the likes of Catherine Deneuve, Paloma Picasso, Bianca Jagger and Lauren Bacall.
“I am shattered,” said Berge, who founded the iconic YSL fashion house in 1961 with the designer, then 25.
As tributes poured in from around the world to the tormented but visionary genius, Berge said women around the world owed Saint Laurent a debt for revolutionising their wardrobes.
“He was the first to put women in pants, the first to put them in tuxedos, the first to put them in masculine clothes, the first to employ black models,” he said. “He was audacious, he revolutionised the trade.”

Ok Ok, Chanel was the first to put women in pants. But YSL did revolutionize women in the pant suit. I stand corrected. RIP YSL and much love for his exposure of Black models!

I wouldn’t wear Kim K’s clothes if you paid me. She is a hoebag, is only famous because she is a whore. She might as well be a prostitute. She has noo talent whatsoever, I just don’t know how anyone can support her career by watching her show or buying her outfits!
Sad to hear about YSL but he left his mark on the fashion industry and he will never be forgotten.

I was so hesitant to see the Sex and the City movie. i thought they would just ruin a good thing but was so pleasantly surprised! LOVED it! The clothes were HOT! I have already breen googling a few pieces.
RIP to the iconic YSL–His legacy will live on forever.
Also RIP to a MUSIC LEgend–Mr Bo Didley. I was so saddened to hear about his passing yesterday. He influenced so many artists.
No thanks Kim. I see only a “portion” is being donated to charity. I wonder how much that portion really is??

I went to go see Sex in The City, I love every part iof it but the role Jennifer Hudson played. Why did she have to have a rented Louie or Chanel. Do they think Blacks can’t afford the real deal. I had no problem with her role as the assistant, it was just that little part. I hate the way Black Women are protrayed in the media
—I think Jennifer had a small but GREAT role in SATC. She wasn’t hood, ghetto or loud. She had the GUTS to endure a heartbreak from a man she loved and picked up and moved to NYC. She also came in and totally took charge of Carrie’s messed up life!I think the rented handbag was her trying to fit in to big city life from St. Louis. I thought she did a good job for her small role..

Ok folx! I saw the Movie Sat with my boyfriend and kept elbowing him to stay awake! ROFLMAO! I will definitely buy this DVD ASAP! The stylist for the series is Patricia and her style is AWESOME! These ladies are always SHARP!
That book is a great marketing tool for all - designers, cast members and the movie writers. Money to be made by all!
Um, Kim, honey I’m sorry but I’m not gonna be able to do that one! Your clothes are CUTE and you are usually well put togetha but well, for lack of a better word, your indiscretions won’t allow it. However, I commend you for your philanthropy! Def a step in the RIGHT direction! Kudos!

Who really wants to buy Kim Kardashian’s clothes — who is she that people want to bid $10g’s for it. I am just so over her and her family!!! I don’t understand why we are idolizing someone who has done nothing but own a store and has a reality TV show; at this rate the “average joe” is capable of getting a reality tv show, she is not an acomplished actress, singer, dancer, nor philiantropthiess…I don’t know.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but YSL was the first high fashion house to feature black models on his runway? He helpef elevate IMAN to superstardom and helped majorly with the career of Naomi Campbell. As well as his designs, he will most certainly leave a legacy of bring diversity to high fashion. RIP
