Sneak Peek: Lady Gaga for V60

Posted By Chic Untroubled on Jun 23, 2009 at 8:20AM

After dropping an amazing dance album and prancing around in front of the paparazzi wearing nothing more than leotards and Alice in Wonderland garb for a little over a year now, Lady Gaga was more than overdue for a cover of Rolling Stone.

However, what the tiny woman didn't deserve -- in no way, shape, or form might I add -- was the honor of looking like a  fucking fool for her huge American publishing debut.

When the issue made its way into my mailbox this spring, I was absolutely floored. I couldn't believe that  no one in her camp -- either friend or someone from the record label -- tapped her on the shoulder and said, "boo, please don't the bootleg Hussein Chaylan number anymore. You're better than that." Even better, "Gaga, Rihanna is one of your contemporaries. You need to drop the DIY and step it up."

The hair, the lips....it was too much.

No worries, though. It appears the fashion pros have finally decided to aid and abede Miss Gaga as she tries to take over the scene one peroxide wig at a time. Last Friday, V magazine threw up a behind-the-scenes clip of their forthcoming issue with the singer on its cover. While the mini video only acts as a mere teaser, it shows Nicola Formichetti wrapping the blonde in Givenchy and Balmain which should bode well for what the rest of the spread will look like.

Hopefully, Gaga Does High Fashion Shoot: Take Two turns out much better than the initially go around. Fingers crossed.

Review: Caress Evenly Gorgeous Body Wash

Posted By Chic Untroubled on Jun 8, 2009 at 9:32AM

Honestly, I don't think it's meant for me to update this blogeveryday. In theory, I should and would like to my but my laptop refuses to go along with my plan. For the second time this year, my Macbook broke down. It was bad ya'll. So much so, in fact, I almost lost all of my Mp3s and documents. But wait! My problems don't end there.

For the next three weeks, I'm being forced to bury my head in both a biology and logic textbook. Why I waited until the  summer before my senior year to complete the aforementioned classes is beyond me. However, I'm getting through the three-hour 8am labs on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday fine. Just kidding! It sucks. Really bad. And as a consequence, Chic and Untroubled will continue to be neglected until July 6th, when I'm finally done with the first session of summer school and these damn classes. Le sigh. Still, check back everyday for new posts but for the constant stream of posts you're use to seeing everyday you're going to have to wait until the beginning of July.

Meanwhile, I wanted to spend the last few spare minutes I have today lamenting on Caress's new Evenly Gorgeous Body Wash. In short, it's amazing. Initially, though, I was hesitant to use the product because I have very sensitive skin. And is customary with most people who have a similar skin type, we try to avoid products that smell as divine as this Caress body wash because it usually means they will irritate the skin. However, I have yet to have any kind of rash or break from using the product for little over a month now. Since the wash doubles as an exfoliant, it leaves my skin feeling super soft after every time I use it. You can find it at practically any drugstore for $4.

Sorry, guys for the lack of posts these past couple of weeks! Things have been hectic to say the least. I'll be back tomorrow, though, and I've got a ton of things to report on! In the meantime, enjoy this clip of a disgruntled McDonald's job seeker. It's priceless and bound to make your day that much better.

Ali, The Handbag

Posted By Chic Untroubled on May 27, 2009 at 6:52AM

And now she's got her own bag.

After skipping Fashion Week last season and side-stepping any and all major fashion magazines, Dallas-born Ali Michael appears to have adjusted nicely to her new role as Coach spokesperson. Not only has she been plastered on the front of the company's mailers, but the accessories manufacturer has created a new line of handbags named after the model.

The "Ali" comes in the form of either a slouchy hobo or a flap handbag. Both adorable and affordable (the pieces start at $298), the handbags are of the high school friendly variety. So, for those looking for a less trendy alternative to Alexander Wang's Coco duffel this fall may want to look elsewhere. 

Happy Wednesday, everyone.

Sneak Peek: The Cleveland Show

Posted By Chic Untroubled on May 20, 2009 at 8:50AM

So. A clip of the Family Guy spin-off, The Cleveland Show, has made is way onto the internets and, well, I was expecting a little bit more. The series follows mild-mannered Cleveland Brown as he settles into his new life in a new town after he has just married his high school sweetheart. When this project was first announced, I was of the mine that it would be as funny as Guy for some unknown reason but unfortunately it doesn't appears to be that way. Sure, the above three minutes glimpse of what Fox has in store for us this fall isn't too bad, but it's not really hilarious either or as they say down south, "it's nothing to write home about." Maybe someone in the editing room just got greedy and decided not to show us any of the funnier highlights from the forthcoming season. Nah. Anyways, check out the clip and tell me what you think.
