after dealing with the frustrations of a manicure that only last one day, chipped polish within less than 12 hours... i started thinking about going back to acrylics (yeah right! never again) or looking into silk, gel wrap something... just to help my polish last. of course, i had to consult with some experts. thanks to my girl, india, at glamblush, i am HOOKED on KISS NAILS! yes ladies, kiss nails! i am a believer! after 3 days, my nails are still looking fabulous! it took literally 15 minutes to apply them and within minutes,. i was ready to finish my laundry!

lorilori's weekly dose....."be kind rewind" director michel gondry
i'm back
a little late but its week two and really cold out (new yawk-chi) so why not go to the movies this weekend? yeah? sound like a good idea? cool!
here's what's on the menu
french director michel gondry has always and will probably continue to always make you and i question our sense of reality. this idea plays out in gondry's features such as the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, dave chappelle's bloc party and my favorite, the science of sleep.
be kind rewind, gondry's 5th major release stars jack black and mos def; two buddies that are forced to recreate hollywood blockbuster films, (ghostbusters, boyz in the hood to name a few) after black manages to destroy an entire neighborhood's dvd rental store. the duo decide to star in the remakes instantly becoming stars on their block.
before you run off to see the film, be sure to give yourself a little idea of what you're getting into - gondry's mastered feature length projects but he is a god when it comes to the short form world and by that i mean music videos. kanye's team called him up when they were unhappy with the first clip for "heard em say" and developed an entire new vision quite gondry-esque, with the use of stop motion and all. the white stripes also adopted gondry as a resident director creating several pieces together over the years. check out the "lego master piece" below
gondry's credits lists dates back to the early 90s! but here are a few for your viewing pleasure, including his latest with long time collaborator bjork as well as their acclaimed piece "human behavior" from 1993.
bjork "declare independence"
bjork "human behavior"
the white stripes "fell in love with a girl"
kanye "heard em say"
beck "cellphone's dead"

lorilori's weekly dose.....
Hello all
We here at FASHIONATION would like to present the latest addition to the blog....
No it's not a daring, trendsetter ready to drop her knowledge of what's hot, or what's new, instead a new segment, a little something that I'd like to call your weekly dose of all things....music videos, films, commercials you name it.
The art of motion picture......! Oh and of course the fashion!
I'd like to start with who I think is one of the most prominent and definitely most sought after female music video directors today. I can't help but be fascinated with Sophie Muller's work over the years. Ms Muller's, probably best known for her collabos with such huge names like Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, Maroon 5 and Lily Allen to name a few.
Her remarkable ability to capture beauty, and use of natural light easily lures in any audience.
Lily Allen "Smile"
She's crazy with transforming her subject into a character; the cinematic nature of each piece unfolds into a great story in only 4 or 5 minutes time.
Maroon 5 "She Will Be Loved"
Beyonce "Ring The Alarm"
I don't think it would be fair to mention Sophie without highlighting her work with Gwen. Their work together dates back to "Don't Speak", the unforgettable piece with a bare foot Gwen in that navy polka dot dress and live shots of her on stage sporting a yellow cut off tee.
This dynamic duo continued to work together on Gwen's solo albums. There's a good handful of clips between the two, 4 In The Morning, Wind It Up and Luxurious, but my personal favorite is "Cool" from Gwen's first solo LP.
Every element of this clip is fantastic! The story that slowly unfolds, the production design, lighting, Gwen's ridiculous style..... crazy! At the beginning, when the outside of the mansion is revealed.........ah! that shot gives me chills!
Gwen Stefani's "Cool"
Need I say more, ....in short, she's just plain dope...
