miSSing wigstock
When I arrived in US almost twenty years ago I landed in New York City, went to my friends home Eric Reid in Queens...once I arrived there, he told me to get ready, he was going to take me to Wigstock...I had no idea what that was...I remember getting out the cab and seeing this fabulous drag queen passing right in front of me...I learned later she was Lypsinka...I never forget that day, I never forget many of the performances specially Leigh Bowery giving birth on stage...I am happy to have met and to know Lady Bunny, someone who has not only my admiration, but also my respect...I would follow her anywhere(lol)...I mean not quite...above is the video of one of my favorite group performances at Wigstock, the MUSSYCAT DOLLS...these girls epitomizes the sexiest and the most talented new generation of performers. Love them! I miss Wigstock !

bruno baSSo and christopher brOOke styled ivete sangalo
Ivete Sangalo's sold out show last night in New York City at the Madison Square Garden was a huge success. This very beautiful Brazilian woman with a knock out body was dressed by Bruno Basso and Christopher Brooke who are the designer duo behind their own label Basso & Brooke based in London, they are the pioneers and masters of using eye-popping digital prints in their designs, but don't be too soon to judge the word eye-popping, their clothes are extremely stylish and look amazingly effortless, in my opinion they design for a powerful and free gorgeous independent woman. Bruno is Brazilian and Christopher is a Brit. Ivete had five wardrobe changes, and my favorites were the ones with tribal references and the baroque Bahia(so gorgeous) specially with the cape. The designers went above and beyond in this project, they also brought in the milliner Stephen Jones, who collaborates with them on a regular basis...the trio went to Salvador where Ivete lives for the final fittings. Basso & Brooke have designed for Kate Perry, Rihanna, Florence & the Machine, La Roux, Paris Hilton among others.
ivete sangalo does madison square garden
If you are a Brazilian living in New York City like moi (lol), you probably have heard this question over and over again: Are you going to Ivete's show at Madison Square? Ivete Sangalo is a Brazilian axé music superstar, she rose to fame as the lead singer of the Bahian group Banda Eva in the 1990s and embarked on a successful solo career at the end of the 90's. Tonight she will be at the stage of Madison Square Garden in a sold out special performance. Tonight her show will be recorded for DVD and Kelly Furtado will perform with Ivete the song " Where it Begins". Ivete Sangalo wardrobe for this special event is signed by designer duo Basso & Broke. No, I am not going....but allllllllllll my friends are going....lol ! You can check her energy in the video;
charlie doLL gazeLLe version 2 by fernando carpaneda
The very controversial Brazilian sculptor Fernando Carpaneda who is based in New York has just created another Charlie Doll Gazelle, inspired in a very unique look that I did last year. Charlie Doll is a creation of Carpaneda in response to international homophobes like the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Edino Fonseca, a notoriously homophobic Brazilian priest and politician who proposed using taxpayers' money to establish clinics to cure gay people from their homosexuality. The body of the doll is based on Russian photographer and artist Slava Mogutin and the doll's name is a tribute to the president of The Leslie Lohman Gay Art Foundation, Charles Leslie. The doll's penis and believe me, it is based on Fernando's himself. I feel very honored for again to be used as inspiration for it, the first Gazelle Charlie Doll is in the photo below, and it is sold out. The model above is available here:
and the other 5 Charlie Doll models can be found here:
Fernando Carpaneda is represented internationally by The kymara Gallery and MF Gallery and is part of the Anté Art Movement led by Billy Name (Andy Warhol Superstars).

borbonese brings lichtenstein back
Well, well, well...when you promised yourself that you wouldn't buy any fashion accessory that looks like it is from a museum art store because you believe it is tacky, then comes the Italians to prove you that it is OK and cool. Together with The Foundation of Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein the Italian fashion house Borbonese has released a line of limited edition handbags showcasing the late artist's colorful work. I loved them all, specially because this is something new from the very conservative Borbonese .You can check the whole line in the link below.
