February 25, 2010 Gotta tell ya.. I love it!!

Hey Squirrels,

Something so soothing about my air blogs. Really helps pass the time on eternal travel. And.. so cathartic. Specially when I launch into an Andy Rooney style “you know what I really hate” . SO.. do you?? I’ll tell you!

You know what I really hate? When you accidentally book your Virgin America flight for the wrong day and you get to check in and they make you buy a new ticket for 300$.

Yes welcome to my morning… I begged, cried, tried using legal jargon, batted my eyelash extensions, pointed at my phone for dramatic effect… and all for naught. Not even a discount. Let us also not forget the $$ I spent on the “non refundable” ticket I already had bought. Boo. Fail.

Any how , on a lighter note, my show “Leave Your Weave” rated #1 on Stickam Tuesday night!! (see attached screen capt)

OK, I am getting inundated with emails.. must work.. ugh!!

February 20, 2010 An apples demise and NYC 2 unrelated topics

Well, actually they are not totally unrelated. They both have to do with me traveling but thats really stretching it. My poor over sized apple from yesterday ended up feeding 3 then getting tossed in the garbage (see pic).

Anyhow now that I updated you on the apple, I am sitting in the Las Vegas airport, aging. Waiting an eternity to return to my home, my dog ANGUS who I miss so much I could spit. My flight is delayed because of Obama and his dumb aircraft AIR FORCE 1. All traffic going in and out of this shit hole is delayed. Delaying me from returning to my life, my dog, my bed, real food, etc. Nothing I can do but eat this delicious box of vegan donuts which looks like isn’t gunna make it back to LA as expected.

I am so ready to sleep in my bed… so much traveling… here is a photo tribute to my travels as of late.

February 18, 2010 AppleWith.com

So.. Here I am in las Vegas where apparently things really are larger than life because this apple does not occur in nature. It is embarrassingly large and was humiliating to walk through they busy trade show convention with. I got stopped no less than 6 times. People were awe stuck at the enormous circumference and one girl took my picture with it. My friend Kelly (who will be blogging here soon) had the great idea to start an Apple With blog… Apple with various celebs.. apple with Japanese tourists Apple with Santa … you get the picture..

Who / what would you like to see the giant apple with?

February 16, 2010 My NYFW By: Ali Barone

Apparently I have no idea how to post on this blog.. all the pictures posted in the reverse direction I uploaded them in. Boo. But you get the picture right? I will start at the bottom and work my way up (since I have no choice)

Diane VonFurstenburg show… 4pm Bryant park on Feb 14 2010. INCREDIBLE!!! The drape and flow of every dress was so chic, I loved the pin striped pants and the amazing textured almost 3-d dress fabric. DVF is known for her beautiful printed textiles, and she delivered!

Then on to the Betsey Johnson show where one of by besties was secretly opening the show… and she KILLED IT!! Kelly O looked confident and beautiful doing the runway stomp better than any seasoned pro!! I have been to Bestsey shows before and they are ALWAYS a blast but Miss Kelly added a layer of honesty,poise and grace to the presentation. She has never looked better, never felt better and I have never been more proud of her! when she came out in the black wedding dress I couldn’t stop crying . I love you Kel!

SO these pics were snapped with my BB thus the poor quality but hell, it’s better then nothin’!!

I am now in Las Vegas at Magic … the fashion never stops! More later…

February 15, 2010 Back in the air

Back on the plane, back in the air, back to the west. This time it’s Las Vegas where my feet touch the ground. This trip to NYC was FANTASTIC! So much fun!

Saturday night my flight arrived too late for pleasantries so we went straight out to the Opening Ceremony party at The Ace Hotel where they opened a new location. To enter the party you had to pass through the store and all it’s modern kitch. Beautiful garments and gummy treats behind us the action was down below. The high fashion crowd was destroying the dance floor. I dropped my bag and jacket and danced my ass off. As you can see from the picture I had a really good time!

Now, my eyes burning, I am headed back west.

I took a LOAD of pics

More of my adventures to come.

February 14, 2010 New York Fashion Week!!!

Hi Squirrels-

Here I am blogging from 35,000 ft, some sort of modern mile high club. It ‘s the future! Nothing like video chatting while flying over America and watching the Olympics. Multi tasking hits a new level!

As I slice through the sky headed towards NYC I am really beginning to vibe the anticipation! My trip will be short but packed with so much fun. Tonight straight from the airport we go to the “Opening Ceremony” party (google it if you don’t know.. you should and it’s not the opening ceremony 68 million Americans watched last night) I will post pics although they will be from my BB since I guess it was more important to pack 5 pairs of shoes and not my camera.

Then tomorrow the DVF fashion show followed by Betsey Johnson. What a whirlwind … the next day I pop back on a plane and head to Las Vegas. Jet set society.

Lipstick Jet Set… sounds like some luggage in my near future!!

February 11, 2010 In loving memory of Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen Resort 2010 Collection

I was greeted by sad news shortly after I logged on the internet today. English fashion designer, Alexander McQueen, was found dead at his London home this morning. Here is the story from The Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/11/AR2010021101929.html

McQueen’s mother passed away on the 2nd, no doubt that was hard for him to deal with, and sadly it seems that it was just too much. Suicide is so tragic. A friend of mine from college also killed herself shortly after her own mother passed away from cancer. My heart goes out to anyone who has ever been touched by the pain of suicide.

I’ll just close with some photos of his work…

February 3, 2010 It's been a long time… I shouldn't have left you.

Oopse. Looks like good ‘ol LP hasn’t posted a blog in over a year and 1/2. Shame on us. But not really. I was just thinking today how fragmented one can become with all these online social networks and websites. LP seems to be the Sybil of cyber space with all the compartmentalized bull-shizzy. Myspace, websites, mailing lists, blogs. Twitter… Buzznet… Facebook AHHHHHHHH And things are about to get worse! We are working on splitting the LP empire into even more “personalities” 5 last time I counted. Which reminds me … I once was in a job interview and the gentleman commented on how busy I am with all different jobs and projects.. how could I possibly squeeze in another? To which I replied “I’m not scared, I have a big brain” I got the job in case you were wondering.

But to get back on subject I am over the moon as I type with anticipation and joie de vie. We are getting all our ducks in a row here at LP so stay tuned for some really fun, beautiful, fragmented, compartmentalized awesomeness to come. And if you haven’t had a chance to check out LP recently because of all of your online personalities clamoring for your attention, check us out www.lipstickprophets.com and add one more personality to the group… our mailing list…
XO
