Today was the funeral for Alexander McQueen. I hope he finds peace and beauty in the next life – thank you for a lifetime’s worth of inspiration. (Image of McQueen lace-up peep-toe pumps from Pedder Zine Spring/Summer 2008)

I just watched Dakota Fanning’s appearance on the Ellen and am excited to see her in New Moon this Thursday (yep, midnight showing) – it’s so nice to see one Hollywood child grow into such a gracious (and GORGEOUS!) young woman. She also looks quite the fashionista in the newest issue of Teen Vogue.

Hello Kitty’s birthday is this weekend, and I’m sure we’ll all run into at least one Lady Gaga this Halloween, so what better way to celebrate both with this photoshoot?

Culver City’s Royal-T and Japan LA will be celebrating Hello Kitty’s 35th Birthday starting today, with artwork by Gary Baseman, Buff Monster, and Tara McPherson, whose piece I’ve picked to show here. Hello Kitty and I share the same birthday, so I may have to stop by and party with her.

Ken who? This is a match made in shoe heaven! Here’s a super-fantastic shot of Barbie and Christian Louboutin from My Year in Paris.
