Black Light Terminal Mirror Mirror Agencies Pre-Anniversary Show

Black Light Terminal Mirror Mirror Agencies Pre-Anniversary Show

Brisbane based modelling agency Mirror Mirror Agencies are turning one in September and to celebrate they hosted a show on August 5th at C Gallery on James Street.
This year’s event showcased fashion from Soot, Melange Boutique, The Bunker Boutique, Zara McKenna, Rochadames and I Envy Alex, with hair by Vanilla Salon and make up by the Academy of Make Up.
The show had a post-modern feel, blurring the boundaries of wearability. Deconstructed garments floated on the tape outlined runway while jagged sounds littered the air. Hair was sculptural and raw; a teased mess of gigantic proportions. Model’s faces were at times marked with neo-tribal paint evoking a sense of belonging in a disjointed procession.
I hope you enjoy my collection of images. If you’re in them feel free to leave me a comment.

When I was in New York last month I shopped like a maniac. Sephora, Betsey Johnson, Barneys – you name it. The most frustrating thing? Not being able to shop at these places now I’m back in Australia. Enter USA Shopping Affair!
USA Shopping Affair offers personal shopping buying sprees in the USA as well as mail forwarding for all your online shopping all the way to Australia.
Each month they nominate a US online retailer that they purchase bulk orders on behalf of clients, allowing them to buy single items without the excessive expense.
Charmaine Graham, founder of USA Shopping Affair says that “there are a lot of companies based in the US offering package forwarding services, but none are coordinated from Australia consolidating multiple client purchases to enable discounted shipping. Essentially USA Shopping Affair facilitates ‘collective buying power’ that an individual would not normally have access too. The result is an affordable and reliable shipping option that offers online shoppers even more incentive to snap up bargains from the US.”

Redheads have it rough. We’re pariahs in school, viewed as soulless, perfect candidates for skin cancer, and frequently asked perverted anatomical questions. Over the past few years, Hollywood stars like Emma Stone and Lindsay Lohan have sexed up the ginger image, but only “Mad Men” actress Christina Hendricks has influenced red-haired women to finally embrace and appreciate their unique roots. She’s a natural blond, yet there’s no better redhead spokesperson than this hourglass figured southern sweetheart.

Last month, Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn expressed glowing interest in signing Hendricks on for a “Wonder Woman” remake. Whether or not that pans out, Hendricks will always be Wonder Woman to fellow redheads, drooling male fans, and curvy women. Check out our montage of the voluptuous celebrity sexpot, the savior for all carrot-tops alike.

Kanye West People look at me like I m Hitler
He has a reputation for making outrageous statements.

And Kanye West has once again found himself at the centre of controversy after comparing himself to Adolf Hitler.

The rapper has drew the wrath of Holocaust awareness groups after likening himself to the notorious Nazi during a performance at the Big Chill festival in Hertfordshire in England.
Chill out of line: Egotistical singer Kanye West compared himself to Adolf Hitler at the Big Chill festival in Hertfordshire on Saturday

He said: ‘I walk through the hotel and I walk down the street, and people look at me like I'm f**king insane, like I'm Hitler.

‘One day the light will shine through and one day people will understand everything I ever did.’

Some would suggest the rant betrays a streak of paranoia running through the singer, who is never far from controversy.

He has been criticised in the past for accusing then President George W Bush of being racist, storming onto the stage of the MTV Europe Music Awards after failing to win a gong in 2006, and rushing on again at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards to complain when Beyonce lost out to Taylor Swift.

Now he has compared himself to the German dictator, who started the Second World War and created extermination camps where almost three million people were murdered.

Mark Rothman Executive Director of the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust said: 'Kanye West’s remarks at a recent concert in England, in which he claimed being so misunderstood people look at him as if he were Hitler, only suggests how little he understands.

'He certainly misunderstands the supreme unattractiveness of his 'poor me' self-pitying martyrdom act.

'He misunderstands the vast gulf between his actions, no matter how wrong they may be or how wrong people may think they are, and those of the single biggest mass murderer in history.
Slam dunk? Kanye also believes he has had the same impact as Michael Jordan

'And he misunderstands the great responsibility he holds in his hands together with his microphone.'

West launched into his rant after one of his band members made a mistake during the performance of Monster.

The star also took to the stage 30 minutes late, and complained he had lost his voice.

He said: ‘This is my most important gig of the summer, but I'm really frustrated.

‘I only have half of my voice. I just want things to be right. This is the reason we started half an hour late.'

West then compared himself to legendary Chicago Bulls star basketball player Michael Jordan during a foul-mouthed rant.

He said: ‘Michael Jordan changed so much in basketball, he took his power to make a difference.

‘It's so much f**king going on in music right now and somebody has to make a f**king difference."

Ego: Kanye West is regarded by many as the most arrogant man in show business

The Heartless rapper also defended the controversial video for Monster, which was banned because it featured cannibalism and girls hanging from their necks.

He said: 'Who saw the video before it got banned, before they took it down and before women's groups started saying that a person that lost the most important woman in his life is now against women in some way?'

The College Dropout star was referring to the death of his mother Donda in 2007, which left him devastated.

However the 34-year-old did end the show on a positive note by paying tribute to Amy Winehouse, whom he described as 'beautiful' and 'amazing'.

He added: ‘Thank you for protecting your artists that are still here, this is for Alexander McQueen, for Amy, for Michael Jackson, and for all the media - can you lighten up on the artists that are still here?'

West was joined on stage by his three-man backing band and 20 dancers on a stage which also featured Roman-style statues and ballerinas.

The younger sister of Mary Kate and Ashley is 20, an aspiring actress and, according to Elle magazine, "she's arrived as a new style maker". On the photo, Elizabeth on the opening night after party, for the Broadway play "Impressionism". I'm so curious to see if has the same peculiar sense of style of her fashionistas sisters!

elizabeth olsen

Step forward our latest Olsen crush. Simultaneously poised for Oscar success and fashion glory, Elizabeth Olsen is the aspiring actress everyone’s talking about. Sharing the fashion dynasty’s cherubic cheekbones and striking blue eyes, she’s also inherited their style genes. While Elizabeth’s style is less experimental than big sisters Ashley and Mary-Kate’s, her minimal accessorising, polished boho dresses and androgynous New York tailoring has guaranteed her a place on our ones-to-watch list. And being able to raid her sisters’ wardrobe and getting first dibs on their catwalk collections pretty much guarantees her style file is set to grow. Take a look at her best looks so far…
When one mentions an "Olsen," people immediately assume it's either Mary-Kate or Ashley. But it's the famous twins' younger sister, Elizabeth Olsen, who's making headlines now.

Olsen, 21, is currently taking time off from her studies at NYU, and is promoting not one, but two films at the Sundance Film Festival, according to the Huffington Post.

She gets her first glimpse of the spotlight in 'Martha Marcy May Marlene,' where she plays a young woman trying to reclaim her identity after escaping a cult. And Olsen, who, according to the Internet Movie Database, hasn't had a film role since 'The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley,' understands the importance of her new role.

"It's hard for independent films when they want to get money," Olsen told the Huffington Post. "And to have a lead be an unknown -- it's kind of a risk for people to take. And so the fact that they took that risk was like made my year, my life ... It was really exciting."
Her other film, 'Silent House,' is a unique one, especially for someone with a theater background. It's one continous shot following Olsen's character as she begins to suspect her house is haunted.

"When I was auditioning, I was like, 'Just so you know I'm used to the medium of theater, so like I can stand on my feet for this long,'" she said.

Olsen may come from a theater background, but she's no stranger to movie sets -- or paparazzi. The lenses, however, are usually focused on her 24-year-old sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley, who have been on camera since they were infants on 'Full House.'

"I just think it's crazy in general, but I want to be an actor –- and I have since I was a little girl –- and if that happens, then you figure out how to deal with it where it doesn't completely infringe upon your life," Olsen said. "I haven't experienced that personally yet. Hopefully I don't have to but I think it's a really weird part of this business."
