Last night was the Opening Night of the inaugural FASHIONmiami – a four day series of shows taking place in a beautiful 30,000 sq ft permanent tent in the Design District. The runway show featured 6 womenswear designers, including two designers flying in from New York: Whitney Port and Duskin, on the 60 ft runway and installations by 3 accessory designers. Also featured were Lialia, By Smith, Fernanda Carneiro, and Romina Heighes.

Dangerously Beautiful hasn’t quite made it to Gen Art’s Fresh Faces, but can show some love to local designers that are sure to bring that Miami flavor to the world of fashion.

I was the last person on Earth to find out about Lady Gaga. Sure, I’d heard Poker Face sneaking about on radio, but I really don’t listen to radio like that, so I always just changed the station.  I don’t know what it was, but one day I decided to take a listen, so I downloaded both her albums and made a little Gaga playlist.

I’m into the sounds of electro-pop as of late, so this was right up my alley: Good pop songs with clean-&-bouncy production, catchy hooks & melodies, and something that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

And oh the visuals!  Over the top was 5 miles back.  I know people can manufacture edge and flamboyance, but at least she is consistent and she does it well.  For all the talk of how she was before becoming Lady Gaga…come on now, it’s entertainment, don’t we expect some theatrics?  I think all the Twitter-ing and Facebook has put us toooooo close to some celebs.  Celebrity is larger than life, so go on, dress it up.  It beats regular joes like Jersey Shore.

From the looks of things, she’s got others in the industry trying to up their weirdo-game up as well.

What will she think of next…
