The Making of the 2010 Pirelli Calendar by Terry Richardson from Rafael Rubira fashion4fun.com.br on Vimeo.
I love this shoot that Terry Richardson did for the 2010 Pirelli calendar. He did a great job of keeping the women natural looking, which I always appreciate in a photographer. And the video makes me want to run naked through a jungle!
Terry knows how to sell watches…and tires.
Will Price is not just a man of many words, but a man of many words that I will actually read. In an overcrowded blog-o-sphere, Will’s witty and succinct voice stands out. Visit his blog Momentum of Failure for his take on life and style.
1. My blog: is a peak into my life through products and companies for which I have an affinity.
2. Two words that describe my style: finespun and calculated
3. My most treasured artifact: is intangible. The artifacts are the values and talent my father instilled in me at a very young age and those of which I still treasure and practice to this day.
A sexy woman: has no idea she’s sexy but knows she owns it anyway.
5. I am inspired: on the daily, at the most random times, by the most unsuspecting people, places, and things. It’s a blessing.
Say hi to Will. And check out past SPM Spotlighters here.

I know, it’s not even spring yet, but I am already excited for fall 2010 trends. Missoni takes textured leggings to a new level.
Green shoes bring to mind THE classic pick-up line. Ya, you know the one. I can’t help but giggle about it…
Men, this is definitely a trend to try this spring. Whether you prefer oxfords or sneakers, this color works great for all. Pair them with dark denim or khakis, cuff, and go! Below are a few of my favorite picks:
Today I posted this article showing a series of Gucci models pre-show. To my surprise, it caused quite the uproar on Twitter. People assuming I was model-bashing when I was simply displaying a unique side by side put out by nymag.com. I am not here to bash beauty…
So, post tweet-storm, I was showering and I had the idea to do my own side by side and put my un-done self out there. And so, I conducted a mini experiment of my own. The first photo sans makeup, the latter with makeup. Each one lists exact details of the photo. So here, now all the world (or at least my 400 followers) can see me without makeup, lights and airbrushing.
Before:
Makeup: none
Hair: none
Angle: straight on
Lighting: flourescent
# of shots taken: 1
Post affects: none
After:
Makeup: moisturizer, primer, foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, eyelash curler, mascara, under-eye concealer, chap stick, lipgloss
Hair: comb, blowdryer, straightener, wax, gloss
Lighting: flourescent
Angle: 3/4 turn (to my better side)
# of shots taken: 9
Post Affects: minimized exposure, increased saturation, minimized noise

As I logged into the Twit-0-sphere today, I noticed everyone’s already a-flurry about their New Year’s resolutions. Statistically speaking, the majority of you won’t keep your resolutions for more than two months. And so, I am here to help. May I propose the February 1st Resolution Plan.
Tonight while I was showering (which is where I do my best inventive brainstorming), I realized that those who start out last in the game will come out finishing, well…finishing. The execution is simple- start your resolutions on February 1st instead of January 1st. I’ll bet that you’ll hold true to your said resolves much longer than those 01/01 starters. Why? Because:
1. Not everybody’s doing it.
As stated above, everyone is buzzing about it. And naturally, as humans, when everyone else is doing it, we tend to latch on and follow suit. This is dangerous, however, because you may not be creating resolutions out of a deep desire to change or alter a part of your life, but rather to keep up with post Christmas dinner conversations.
2. The honeymoon is over.
That New Years fever has died down and people are back into their everyday grinds. You will have a clearer head when sorting out the changes you really want to make in your life. Retail’s full price, weather’s crappy, and you’re already thinking about the lonely Valentine’s Day looming in your near future. But hey, at least you won’t have to wait 20 minutes for a free treadmill at the gym.
3. You’ve actually recovered from the holidays.
Let’s be real. Holiday’s don’t really end before January is over. This year, NYE lands on a Thursday which means you’re going to be partying for four days straight. You’ll drag yourself to work the following week trying to catch up, but inevitably fail. (I’m actually anxious to see how businesses will run that week.) So what do you want to do the second weekend of January? Sleep. And you will. But then you’ll go back to work the following week, all the while feeling as though you didn’t take advantage of the past weekend so you’ll party hard the third weekend and go back to work for another week. Now, by the time weekend number four comes along, some of you may be ready to start your resolutions, but you’ll need that weekend to plan out what they’re going to be. (Obviously they weren’t done earlier because you wait ’til the last minute for everything.)
This leaves you with a February 1st start date. An unglamorous, un-fun and unconventional way to start your belated New Year’s out right.
