'America's Next Top Model: All Stars' recap: Final three named


'America's Next Top Model: All Stars' recap: Final three named

We're down to our final four on America's Next Top Model: All Stars (where has this cycle gone?!) and the pressure is most definitely mounting.

First up is the regular reflection on what happened last week. Angelea admits she never thought Dominique would get sent home and seems to still be smarting from the girls' comments about her last week.

Lisa, meanwhile, thinks that Angelea's emotional outbursts aren't going anywhere and suggests that it's become "survival of the fittest" and she's "going the distance".

Laura's still on a high after her first photo finish ("I feel like I'm back!") and tells us how important it is for her reaching this stage on the All Stars cycle: "This doesn't happen to people where I come from. You better bet I actually have the strength and confidence to be the winner and it truly could be me this time."

Lisa thinks Laura is her biggest competition and her only flaw seems to be that she's being sexier than she's supposed to be.

This week's first challenge is a big one - they'll be trying to impress Vogue Italia's editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani by writing a blog on their experiences in Crete. They can drive around the island and take whatever photographs they want before returning to the hotel to write. After a day racing around the beautiful sights it's back to write before Nigel takes the blogs away to show Franca.

There's no time to rest, however, as it's off to meet Mr Jay for the next challenge - a motional editorial directed by Tyra! To add even more pressure, the girls will be re-enacting scenes from various chapters in Tyra's novel Modelland and they will shoot the scenes out of order across two days.


The motional editorial will be shown at this week's judging and next week's judging.


We get a montage of the girls filming various scenes such as running down the cobbled streets in gorgeous dresses, looking like warriors, being covered in water. The girls also have to film individual scenes. Lisa has to act like a "deranged" mother clutching a doll, Laura has to eat whipped cream (Tyra's main character Tookie is "obsessed" with it) and Allison sports a fake bloody lip after a cat "scratches" her.


As Angelea puts it, "This day is madness, like we had 18 photoshoots in one day!"

That night, Nigel returns with the results of their blog challenge after talking with Franca. He says Franca liked Laura's girl-next-door persona but doesn't think it was gripping enough; Allison's was too short; Lisa's was good because she compared Hollywood to Crete; while Angelea's included fashion and a comparison to home.

In the end Angelea wins! In addition to her return trip to Crete the hotel gives her a gold olive leaf crown.

Day two of the shoot sees (a topless) supermodel Tyson Beckford joining the motion editorial. He notes that Allison seems quieter than the rest and shy, something that Angelea definitely isn't when she goes in for a hug!

The day starts with Tyra posing in a pink catsuit on the beach for a serious of solo shots, before donning a navy dress for a scene alongside Tyson that is meant to represent a moment in the book where Tookie reveals she has never kissed a boy before.

The day ends with the girls running across the beach and navigating a rocky terrain to find Tyson who is standing on the top of a cliff waving a flag.

Each of the girls have to also pose for a photograph - where they reveal their face by removing a mask - as if they have just won the competition.

Tyson joins Tyra, Nigel and Andre Leon Talley for the judging, where we see the first part of the Modelland motional editorial.

Angelea is first to face the panel. She says she related to the pain and hurt of her emotional scene (where Tookie reflects on a lack of love from her father). Nigel thinks her crying scenes were "completely convincing" and reminded him of the shadow pictures from her last cycle. Andre thinks she's bounced back well from last week.

Andre thinks that Laura showed a different "strong, emotional" side in this, while Tyson says she did a great job as an actress but advises her to forget the camera is there, which Nigel echoes. Tyra also notes that she was initially sexy with the whipped cream despite trying not to be.

Nigel is very impressed with Allison but Tyson disagrees, suggesting she couldn't really find the camera. Allison admits she has trouble with the sunlight and Tyra says it's something she has to work around.

Finally, Tyson jokes that some of Lisa's moves were like Keanu Reeves in The Matrix. Tyra says she did a great, committed job every day and gave her chills in some scenes.

It's time for the deliberation and it seems like it's been going on for a long time. We see footage of the judges arguing over the girls and the producers and crew waiting around and urging a decision to be made.

Lisa is named the best girl in the motion editorial, followed by Angelea, which leaves Allison and Laura in the bottom two.

Tyra says Laura has a contagious, bubbly personality but they wonder if she can move past cuteness and into high fashion, while Allison has the opposite personality but her quirkiness makes her unique.

Laura is eliminated and becomes tearful when she tells Tyra she just wants to be seen as a respected model. Tyra says that she is one but something just got lost this time. Laura tells us that she has no regrets and she could never be disappointed in her life when she thinks of everything she has accomplished at 22.

 

America's Next Top Model! All Star

It's here! It's FINALLY here! The ANTM All-Star finale!" Did you, too, find yourself saying something similar today, less like a kid on Christmas morning, and more like a prisoner on parole morning?

Seeing that we've reached the end of this, Tyra Banks's grand experiment in building an army of Marketing & Modeling Mini-Mes, it's time to take stock. When the America's Next Top Model: All-Stars cycle was announced, I literally couldn't contain my excitement. (I screamed and spasmed and knocked several objects off my desk when I found out. So yes, literally.) But as the cycle went on, it quickly, painfully became clear that the show had no interest in deciding which all-star was "the best of the best" at anything except promoting herself. Things got gross, then grosser, then intolerable. By no longer pretending to care about fashion, modeling or genuine talent, Tyra finally sucked the last ounce of delusional humor out of her show, and that's really all it had going for it in the first place.

There's a new cycle already in the can, and this one's reportedly all about Yanks versus Brits, so maybe the show can bounce back with a little dose of forced cultural rivalry. But as things stand now, I couldn't be less compelled to ever watch this show again. Let's not even get INTO the fact that this is Andre's final episode, and that he's been phoning it in all season anyway. Goodbye, glitter capes and "SALON!" pronouncements and porkpie hats. Goodbye, love. Goodbye, happiness.

Alright, I'll stop feeling sorry for myself now, and get to feeling sorry for the finalists:

Each of the final three girls explains why she deserves the sympathy vote. Lisa overcame extreme mental, physical and sexual abuse as a child, and drug addiction as an adult. Angelea grew up poor and in the ghetto. Everyone thinks Allison is weird and her dad died.

So, you've all got "stuff," the show says. Now forget the trials and sorrows of real life and look pretty for the camera.

Covergirl Print Ad and Commercial

Jay, joined by a nondescript Covergirl mouthpiece named Paige, ushers the girls into prep, where they have to memorize commercial lines while an army of assistants cakes layers of drag queen makeup all over them.

Lisa's gold and green eyeshadow make her eyelids look like they're covered in iguana skin, but Jay thinks she looks "absolutely breathtaking in the shadow blast."

lisa-eyes-smokeyblast.jpgEasy, breezy, uhh... 

Then it's time for Lisa to read her lines. (FROM AN IPAD! Somebody make sure to add that to the "Legacy" section of Steve Jobs' Wikipedia page, please.) The hardest part for her is the line "Oh, yeah!" She keeps saying it like the Kool-Aid Man. Probably because nobody has ever looked at a Covergirl product and exclaimed, "Oh, yeah!" Maybe if they'd written the line as "Well, OK," she could have been more believable.

Allison is draped in blue and purple, and for what seems the fifth or 800th time this season, she can't perform because her massive eyes -- her not-at-all-secret weapon -- are too sensitive to the light. When they try to zoom in and get a really juicy shot of her 80s prom-worthy eye makeup, she flutters her lids and immediately starts crying.

allison-eyes-covergirl.jpgTyra's ego... it's too bright... it burns...

ALLISON! Girl. PULL YOUR PUPILS TOGETHER. This game is Allison's to win, but having functional eyes is sort of an important element. Jay compromises by filming her closeup like she's Stevie Wonder. (Closed eyes; swaying happily.) But Allison redeems herself with her sweet, composed reading of the Covergirl script.

Angelea, dressed in blinding fuchsia, thinks she'd be the best Covergirl because she's "real." (What, and Lisa and Allison are cyborgs? Actually...) But when she reads her script, she exclaims parts of it indiscriminately ("it's ready to wear ... FAUR HOUARS!") To her credit, she was so enthusiastic and manic that it actually came off as lovable. Like, This girl's so crazy! I wanna hang out with her and see what she does next!

It's too close to call. They're all so good at some things and bad at other, probably more things!

Vogue Italia Photo Shoot

Then it's time to pretend that this show cares about fashion, so the stylist bleaches Allison's eyebrows, and immediately everyone's like "OMG HIGH FASHION!" I guess that's all it takes! (How to be High Fashion, Step 1: Be a skinny, beautiful model, Step 2: Bleach your eyebrows, Step 3: Done.) Each girl takes turns posing in a white bikini on a Greek beach while waves crash around her. Lisa screams something about her foot. It's the usual. Moving on.

Runway Show

Later, a completely off-putting, scripted voiceover by Jay pretends to be attached to his human body and explains that now it's time for the Michael Cinco runway show. It's going to be very "THEATRICAL," which Angelea correctly interprets as being a test of "everything they've learned so far."

Each girl tries on her signature Cinco gown and loooOOOooooves it! They're sort of high fashion bridal meets Disney witch. Lots of gold, glass and metal, sharp shoulders and long trains. The hair and makeup styling for the shoot appears to be Raccoons at a Masquerade Ball.

lisa-raccooneyes.jpgPRETTY.

Angelea starts crying, but she's wearing a mask and she's already in full Taylor Momsen face, so it doesn't matter.

The runway show is supposed to depict "the transformation from mortal to immortal," and it's actually less of a runway and more of an "American Gladiators" challenge course. Blinded by their masks, the girls (dressed as mere mortals) must first swim across a pool and then get sucked into a grey vaccuum hose of metamorphosis or something. Lisa can't see when she's swimming and runs into the side-wall. Stupid mortal.

After they enter the tube, they have to run away, while some other girl runs in and replaces them, dressed as a goddess. Then they run back out and get lifted up into the air by a harness? I don't even know. The point is that it truly IS the pinnacle of this Top Model cycle: Needlessly over the top and complicated, with about 20% emphasis on "runway walk" and 80% emphasis on "other stuff."

At least Miss J and Andre both look unimpressed and austere throughout. Miss J is also dressed as a full-on gladiator, armored helmet and all, and his nonchalance about this soothes me.

As if this whole affair needed to be more confusing, when each finalist walks the runway, her "POT LEDOM" THEME SONG plays. So Lisa, dressed as a Greek goddess, jams down the runway while her Ke$ha-esque lyrics scream, "I be like whooooa." It's an unsettling mixture, but the audience seems to enjoy it. Angelea dances and waves her arms in self-celebration as she stomps down the runway to the song that she wrote. Anyone still want to say that this girl lacks confidence? The only song that actually sounds halfway normal on the runway is Allison's, but she almost gets literally blown away, the little waif.

After the runway show, Angelea looks sad.

angelea-dqed.jpgOr maybe she's just tired from doing that TRIATHLON?

Who knows what the reason was then, but we learn one very good reason now...

EMERGENCY JUDGING PANEL

It's hard to believe, but then things get REALLY whack. We cut to a meeting of the judges at an indeterminate time in the future, and Nigel has some news that is bound to please the court: Angelea has retroactively disqualified herself from the competition. RECORD SCRATCH.

So now, in light of her unidentified infraction, they have to pick a winner all over again. UHHHH, GUH, WHAAA, NAH?

The scuttlebutt on the World Wide Webernet seems to be that Angelea got DQ'ed for "not keeping the final 3 a secret" on Facebook or something. Accidental social media suicide. "Dislike." 

This story sounds stupid and believable enough to be true, but it's still just gossip, and nobody here, in power, on this TV program, will tell us jack. The judges DO, however, make sure to falsely wish Angelea well in her future endeavors. This is nonsense dipped in hogwash wrapped in bullcrap, judges. You're keeping something huge from us, and you've subjected us to TOO MUCH GARBAGE this cycle to start being all close-lipped and secretive now. JUST TELL ME WHAT SHE DID SO I CAN DECIDE IF I CARE OR NOT!

But Tyra never hears me, no matter how loud I scream, so it's time to move on to judging. "In the interest of fairness," the judges thought it best to reshoot the entire final judging panel without Angelea. Which begs the question: Is that... because... Angelea... originally... won? SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

The judges bring in the girls, I take a Xanax, and we continue:

Allison's Runway Critique: Nigel says she looked lovely under the water, but her walk was still her weak point. "I definitely wish it could have been more graceful," says Allison.

Lisa's Runway Critique: Lisa was a "mess" in the water, says Nigel, but she "worked it" on the runway, says Andre. The audience loved her performance.

Allison's Covergirl Commercial Critique: Nigel says she's "really beautiful," and even though her eyes are closed, he can hear her "talking through her eyes." Andre wishes her articulation had been more "snappy." Tyra gives a demonstration in on-camera "exaggeration," as if she doesn't do that every minute of her life.

Lisa's Covergirl Commercial Critique: She didn't seem like Lisa, say the panel. "I feel like you were 50% of Lisa. Where's Lisa? Where's daring?" wonders Tyra.

allison-lisa-covergirl.jpg
Allison's Covergirl Print Ad Critique: They don't like her "vacant" expression and don't know what she's selling. I disagree with all of this, but what else is new?

Lisa's Covergirl Print Ad Critique: Only one of her eyes is showing, but "all you need is one eye," says Nigel. She looks fun and edgy and alluring, "like a fortune teller," says Tyra.

DELIBERATION

For the BAJILLIONTH time tonight, we compare and contrast Lisa and Allison:

Lisa is tall, loud, crazy, in your face and vibrant. She's a triple threat, a brand, and she "owns" the runway. But she's also cocky. Yet she's also a survivor. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Allison is strange, alluring and beautiful. She's surprising, she's a muse, and her eyes are stunning. Tyra then gives a speech about how a model's power is her eyes, and Allison has gorgeous eyes, yet she can't look into the light, and so the light "MAY BE HER UNDOING." Spare me, spare me, spare me.

FINALLY, IT'S TIME TO LEARN WHO AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL IS...

...By watching the final leg of the stupid Modelland motion editorial. This is the ANTM equivalent of when a website tells you to "get a free laptop!" ... but first you have to fill out a 20 page survey. (Oh, and the laptop isn't real anyway.)

Tyra, you ARE human spam.

At the end of the video, Allison and Lisa each hold up their masks (what is with this show and masks?), and the girl who removes her mask is ... LISA.  And boy, she's never looked more beautiful:

lisa-allstarwinner.jpgAmerica's Next Top Dystopian Chimney Sweep?

That means she won, right? Even the girls seem confused, and the general lack of excitement is palpable. It's almost like they filmed this whole scene months after neither of them cared anymore, and a producer prepped each of them for who would win before it happened. ("Almost" = "definitely")

allisonlisahug.jpgIt's hard to tell if Allison is sad, relieved or bored. She doesn't want to hug Lisa, THAT'S for sure, but it happens anyway. She says that she appreciates all the people who rooted for her. I'm gonna go with "bored."

As for the winner: "My confidence comes from a very vulnerable place," Lisa tells us. "I feel like the universe finally came around for me! And I'm not gonna let anybody down." She runs screaming down the runway, then laughs, and then cries. I can't wait to see her Extra! guest correspondent pieces on the red carpet. I hope they follow the same pattern.

I feel like I should be infuriated that Allison lost (AGAIN!), but I'm too curious about Angelea's mysterious disappearance and too disappointed in this cycle in general. So, congratulations Lisa. You earned it? I guess?

Have a question for Allison and Lisa? Leave your question in the comments, and I'll try to ask it when I talk to each of them tomorrow. No Angelea interview, I guess because she's been Burn Noticed.

Thanks for joining me on this strange ride this cycle, folks. The nightmare is finally over, and we all get to go home. Hallelujah, Merry Christmas, ANTMEN.

The Most Stylish Superstar Childern

The Most Stylish Superstar Childern

1. Willow Smith

Dia adalah putri dari Will Smith dan Jada Pinkett-Smith berusia 10 tahun yang baru-baru ini dikabarkan menandatangani perjanjian dengan produser musik kenamaan, Jay-Z untuk menelurkan album perdananya. Gayanya cukup eksentrik dan mengundang perhatian karena amat tidak biasa dan cenderung cuek dan ala punk.


2. Romeo Beckham
Dia adalah anak kedua dari pasangan David dan Victoria Beckham. Di usia 8 tahun saja, adik dari Brooklyn Beckham ini sudah pandai memadupadankan busana. Ia sudah menemukan gaya nyamannya yang ala LA, dengan sepatu kets, kaus, serta topi. Ia pun bahkan pernah mendesain kacamata hitam untuk sebuah label.
3. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
Dia adalah anak putri kandung Angelina Jolie dan Brad Pitt. Menurut sebuah wawancara dengan Angelina Jolie, dikabarkan Shiloh sangat suka bergaya seperti lelaki, terlihat dari caranya memilih pakaian. Bahkan, ia mengira dirinya adalah bagian dari grup kakak-kakak lelakinya, hingga mereka terpaksa memangkas rambut Shiloh cukup pendek karena permintaannya. Gaya berpakaian Shiloh disebut Jolie, 'Montenegro Style'.
4. Kingston Rossdale
Dia baru berusia 4 tahun, Kingston sudah menunjukkan gaya berpakaian yang unik. Mungkin juga karena pengaruh orangtuanya, Gavin Rossdale dan Gwen Stefani. Ia terlihat layaknya anak rocker. Senang mengenakan warna-warna gelap, kadang terang, tabrak corak, sepatu boots, dan sebagainya.
5. Arlo Weiner
Di usia 9 tahun, Arlo Weiner, anak dari kreator film serial televisi Mad Men, Matt Weiner, sudah mendapat julukan 'the littlest dandy', alias pria dandy terkecil. Ia senang mengenakan ascot dan blazer beludru.
6. Elle Fanning

7. Suri Cruise
Nama yang satu ini sudah tak perlu diperkenalkan lagi. Mungkin Suri adalah salah satu anak selebriti yang paling sering difoto paparazzi di muka bumi ini. Ia memang sudah jelas memiliki kesukaan untuk berdandan dan mengenakan pakaian yang gaya. Ketika ia tampil mengenakan sepatu berhak kecil, banyak orangtua yang mengecam Katie Holmes, padahal, Suri sendiri yang menyukainya.
8. Lourdes Leon
Dara berusia 14 tahun ini adalah anak dari ibu superterkenal, Madonna. Saat ini Lourdes sudah punya blog khusus fashion sendiri. Gaya ala cewek keras sepertinya menurun dari sang ibunda.
9. Levi Mcconaughey
Masih berusia 2 tahun, Levi sudah mencuri perhatian dengan gayanya yang lucu. Mungkin bukan Levi sendiri yang memilih pakaiannya, tetapi anak dari aktor Matthew McConaughey ini terlihat sangat manis dengan baju-baju kecilnya.
10. Tavi Gevinson
Dia adalah penulis blog fashion yang baru berusia 13 tahun. Ia memulai blog berjudul Style Rookie ketika ia masih berusia 11 tahun. Tak lama kemudian, hasil tulisannya mendapat apresiasi dan diwawancara oleh majalah New York Times. Kini blog-nya mendapat pengikut sekitar 50 ribu pembaca setiap harinya. Banyak orang mengikuti blog-nya untuk mendapatkan inspirasi. Tavi kini sering diminta membantu mendesain busana di beberapa label fashion.

Diana Rikasari

KOMPAS.com - Kegemaran menulis, memotret, dan kecintaan terhadap fashion tertuang bebas dalam blog. Media digital inilah yang dipilih blogger fashion, Diana Rikasari (26). Ide kreatif mengenai fashion tersalurkan melalui fashion diary miliknya di http://dianarikasari.blogspot. com sejak 2007 silam.

Menjadi blogger adalah hobi, bentuk ekspresi diri. Jika kemudian Diana terpublikasi sebagai blogger sekaligus fashion stylish muda ternama dan berpotensi, ini adalah bentuk apresiasi atas konsistensinya menjalani passion di dunia fashion.

"Mindset dalam menulis blog dan memilih bidang atau topik yang disenangi adalah ekspresi diri, bukan dengan maksud promosi diri. Saya memang menyenangi fashion, menulis, dan memotret. Beruntung saya memiliki pembaca setia. Pembaca menjadi lebih setia menyimak tulisan di blog karena merasa tidak disetir, ide yang dituangkan masih murni, tulisan lebih personal. Membaca tulisan di blog lebih seperti mengobrol dengan teman," tutur Diana kepada Kompas Female, di sela peluncuran Pond's Teen Concert (PTC) di Grand Indonesia, Jakarta, Jumat (8/4/2011) lalu.

Gaya penulisan Diana di blog-nya memang memancing daya tarik tersendiri. Isu fashion banyak digemari, namun bukan hanya itu yang bikin blog Diana menarik banyak pembaca. Cara bertutur khas blogger yang mudah dicerna juga membuat pembaca betah berlama-lama menyimak fashion diary-nya. Alhasil, pengunjung blog Diana, hingga kini mencapai 7 juta, dengan rata-rata pembaca 10.000 per hari.

Perempuan kelahiran 23 Desember 1984 ini mengaku tak menjadikan blogger sebagai profesinya. Blog, kata Diana, memfasilitasinya untuk menunjukkan konsep fashion kreasinya. Rupanya, ide fashion segar ala Diana diterima sebagai alternatif dalam bergaya atau berpenampilan. Kini, nama Diana sebagai fashion blogger semakin populer. Gaya fashion-nya diapresiasi oleh individu, bahkan industri. Diana berhasil mewujudkan mimpinya menjadi fashion stylish yang memberi inspirasi. Keberanian dan ekspresi uniknya di blog telah berhasil membawanya pada berbagai kesempatan berkarya di industri.

"Ketika kita melakukan sesuatu yang memang disukai, lalu mendapatkan apresiasi, itu adalah hal yang menyenangkan," tutur Diana.

Benar saja, melalui blog, Diana dipercaya sejumlah majalah untuk menjadi fashion stylish. Tak hanya itu, ia juga dilamar menjadi penata busana dalam pembuatan film, lalu perempuan muda ini juga mengembangkan potensinya bekerjasama dengan pebisnis clothing lokal. Meski konsep dan gaya fashion Diana unik, beda, dan segar, ia tak ingin menyebut dirinya trendsetter. "Saya tidak membuat tren, saya hanya mengekspresikan ide fashion dalam blog," katanya lugas.

Kreativitas dan kesuksesan Diana rupanya tak hanya mengundang apresiasi pembaca. Diana, untuk pertamakali, dinobatkan sebagai ambassador PTC 2011. Sosok Diana mewakili generasi muda yang meretas sukses melalui media digital dan berani mengekspresikan diri dengan cara kreatif. Perannya sebagai duta semakin mengasah kreativitas anak muda ini di dunia fashion. Pasalnya, ia akan memberikan tips seputar fashion di microsite PTC dan di blog-nya sendiri.

Menjadi bagian dari bintang PTC hanya salah satu pencapaian Diana dari passion-nya tentang fashion dan blogging. Ia juga berkembang menjadi entrepreneur dan penulis di majalah. "Saya tertarik dengan fashion, dan blog adalah modal untuk melanjutkan ketertarikan ini. Saya tak menyebut blogger sebagai profesi. Namun saya memiliki profesi yang dimulai dari blogger, menjadi entrepreneur dan penulis seputar motivasi hidup di majalah," katanya.

Diana, sejak Desember 2010 memiliki bisnis merek sepatu UP, sebagai bentuk pengembangan passion-nya di dunia fashion. Selain itu, ia juga kontributor di majalah khusus perempuan muda. Blogging membuat Diana lebih mengenali dirinya. Hobi menulis di dunia maya inilah yang pada akhirnya memandunya menemukan ketertarikan baru sebagai wirausahawan dengan fokus sama: dunia fashion.

LOOKBOOK

Outfits - or "Looks" - uploaded to LOOKBOOK.nu by its members are scored with points, known as Hype, to judge that outfit's popularity among the LOOKBOOK.nu community. This scoring system is used to differentiate between the looks posted on LOOKBOOK.nu on a basis of what is called "Karma." Karma is the average of the total number of Hypes a user has received, divided by the number of different Looks that user has posted. This karmic average on the site dictates how much exposure that user will receive when posting new looks LOOKBOOK.nu.
Looks are displayed on LOOKBOOK.nu under a variety of different ways on the website. The default view of the site is via the HOT tab, which shows those Looks which are most popular on the site, judged by the amount of Hype it has received, and it's popularity on that day in competition with other Looks. A second tab, NEW, shows all Looks uploaded to the website. The NEW tab offers a feature known as the Karma Filter, which allows for users with a higher Karmic Average to be featured more prominently on the feed. The TOP tab features the most popular Looks posted - and can be sorted by day/week/month/year by the user - while the STATS tab features a list of the users who have gained the most Karma.
Registered users on LOOKBOOK.nu, as well through third party websites including Facebook and Twitter, are allowed the option of Hyping and commenting on the Looks posted by members on LOOKBOOK.nu. Hyping is done anonymously to encourage all users to Hype without shyness, but a user may make their Hype public by leaving the member a comment. Official members of Lookbooks are also allowed to give Love - symbolized with a ♥ - for Looks that they especially like, and are also given an archive of the Looks they have previously Hyped and Loved. Furthermore, users are allowed to "become Fans" of other LOOKBOOK.nu users; when one user becomes a fan of another, that person will receive updates every time the user they have become a fan of uploads a new Look. Recently they are updated when someone they post, hype or comments a look in Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr .
LOOKBOOK.nu also offers a forum where users can post topics and discuss with one another. This is a feature only given to official LOOKBOOK.nu members, and is inaccessible by those using third party applications. Users also have the ability to invite new members via an email application through LOOKBOOK.nu.

OHMIGOT!

KOMPAS.com - Desainer asal Inggris, Alexander McQueen yang kreasinya banyak dikagumi, ditemukan meninggal di rumahnya, Kamis (10/02/2010). Karya-karyanya banyak dikoleksi oleh selebriti-selebriti kenamaan, seperti Sarah Jessica Parker, Rihanna, dan Lady Gaga. Koleksinya McQueen terkenal karena gayanya yang nyentrik dan ekstrem.

Seperti dikutip dari The New York Times, desainer yang berusia 40 tahun ini ditemukan meninggal dengan keadaan tergantung. Ditengarai ia bunuh diri. Kematiannya ini hanya berselang 9 hari sejak kematian ibunya yang terjadi pada 2 Februari lalu. Kerabat McQueen memperkirakan kejadian tersebut membuatnya sangat tertekan. Namun, kepala komunikasi perusahaannya, Samantha Garrett, belum berani mengeluarkan pernyataan resminya.

McQueen dikenal atas desain-desainnya yang dramatik dan luar biasa. Pada tahun 2003, McQueen mendapatkan penghargaan dari Ratu Elizabeth II, ketika itu ia mendapatkan kehormatan dengan diberi julukan Commander of the British Empire karena kemampuannya mendesain pakaian.

Anna Wintour, pemimpin redaksi majalah VOGUE Amerika, menjuluki McQueen sebagai "Salah satu bakat terbesar di generasinya". Kreasinya dengan sangat luar biasa, penuh eksperimen. Ia bisa mencampurkan desain kain dengan teknologi, bergaya gotik, namun tidak meninggalkan kesan estetika, kemudian dibungkus dengan performa yang maksimal di tiap peragaan busananya.
Sekali waktu, ia pernah menampilkan serigala pada peragaan busananya untuk memberikan kesan hidup pada tema Little Red Riding Hood, kali lain ia bisa membawa tulang hewan ke atas panggung, atau bahkan menggunakan make up yang sangat ekstrem pada wajah para modelnya. Uniknya, meski terkesan aneh dan kadang membuat penontonnya mengerutkan dahi, tontonan yang ia berikan selalu menjadi highlight yang ditunggu-tunggu setiap pekan mode tiba.

Ia menjadi kepala desainer rumah mode Givenchy sejak tahun 1996 hingga 2001, kemudian pindah ke perusahaan rivalnya, Gucci. McQueen merupakan salah satu desainer termuda yang mendapatkan titel British Designer of the Year, titel yang ia dapatkan selama 4 kali dari tahun 1996-2003. Ia juga pernah diberikan penghargaan sebagai International Designer of the Year di tahun 2003, di Council of Fashion Designer Awards.
