MichaMi Style Blog

Last time I checked, the statistics stated that at least 1 in 4 people will be affected by Breast Cancer at some point or another in their life;  statistics like that should be quite scary for everyone, not just women.  I appologize for the spam today as this will mark my second of 3 posts that I have ready to go, but after hearing about this I felt that it was something I should share.

In an attempt to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Iris Seale of Punch Drunk has released a pink limited edition version of her latest (and best if you ask me) work - Glam Rock –  in both of her stores on the grid.  Her goal is to sell 100 copies of the dress and to donate 100% of the proceeds to a foundation whose work has benefitted breast cancer research for years.  The price of the dress is 500 Linden (which is the equivilant of about 2$) and it  really is absolutely gorgeous – the texture work is fabulous – and let’s just face it, what girl doesnt love to glitter and shine?

And for those of you who are not wishing to purchase this item to donate – you can find out more information on the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and any other information on how else you can help by going here: www.komen.org

In the spirit of all that is the MichaMi Style blog, I have included a snapshot of part of the dress mixed and matched with some of my other favorite things to create a completely different, but equally fabulous look:

… late night … booty calls - SHINY DISCO BALLS….

And I’m sure that the majority of people reading this have no idea what the hell the title and start of this blog post are referring to – but if you do, good for you.  As I mentioned yesterday, there will actually be two blog posts today – and they both follow one theme:  Music.

Music is something that I find universally inspires everyone – like a muse; go figure.  Ever since Milla had given me the oppurtunity to blog on MichaMi I have been bugging my good friend Catero Revolution to do a blog post with me – why? Because he’s just so stylish and sexy – I mean let’s face it, Catero’s got good taste – and his avatar always looks delicious.  Soo… long story short, after a little poking and proding, he finally agreed to do one with me – so long as it involved one thing: Disco.

Not being a huge fan of the Disco era, or at least not having an extremely comprehensive knowledge of the era – it did take a little convincing – however, I like the Scissor Sisters and having a good time every now and then… so… I’ll go with it:

As soon as Catero showed up to take the pictures in his outfit, I knew I had to do something that was a bit more simple; when you’re dressing as a couple – you dont want it to seem as though you’re competing with each other for the spotlight.  Piecing this together was fairly simple in many respects, but it took some serious digging through my landmark library to actually find something that would work.  I started with a bob with some razor sharp angles and bangs, very Cleopatra-esque.  From there I simply went for a bright strapless jumper with the most rediculously bright belt I could find… glitter and highly saturated colors – check.  I finished off my whole look with a pair of basic metalic pumps and for fear of overdoing it anymore than we already had, I left it at that.  Oh, and let’s not forget that strong cat-eye makeup as well…

How Catero came up with his look?  It probobly involved some mushrooms and a darklight, that’s all I can say.

*ignore my bearclaw hand in the picture, I have no idea why it looks like that.
