Kid Cudi Does GQ

A couple of months ago I posted on my facebook page that I was in the same elevator as Kid Cudi in the building where I interned.  Although I was very hush hush about what went on in that building for confidentially reasons, I couldn't help but to share this info.  It wasn't that I was starstruck in any sort of way by the hip-hop artist's presence (I had met him a few years back and took a picture with him).  It was just a bit ironic that while I was out running errands an hour or so before catching the elevator with him, I was listening to songs featuring KC and other artists on the "How to Make it in America" mixtape--a show that he stars in.

Usually when someone would ride the same elevator with me I would check to see which floor/magazine they were going to.  But on this ride, I was honestly too tired to notice.  But now it's been revealed that Cudi was taking a ride to GQ Magazine to be featured in the 2011 Spring Style Guide.  In the magazine, the rapper/actor talks about music, kicking a drug habit, and being a new father.  You can read more details from the issue by checking out DatNewCudi.com or grabbing a copy of the mag once it hits newsstands.

Cover Girl: Jillian Michaels on SELF

You can usually find Michaels in workout gear and sneakers whenever she graces the cover of a magazine.  But on the January 2011 issue of SELF, she is looking glam and sexy from head-to-toe.  The health maven is participating with SELF to help people get fit for the new year, and there are also prizes galore throughout the month of January courtesy of Michaels and the magazine.

And just like in December's issue, there are accessoris that were handled by moi--especially all of the items featured on the wallet for every price point page.

Go pick up the new issue now on newsstands!

 

P.S.

Today is my last day interning for the magazine and I just want to share that it has been one of the best learning experiences of my life. I got to witness how the fashion department of a magazine is run, I made some new friends, and I also gained skills that people normally wouldn't unless they've been involved in the magazine world.  So I  would just like to say thank you SELF and I hope to see your walls (or at least the walls of the Conde Nast building) again soon.

 

Best,

Ramona

Cover Girl: Heidi Klum on SELF

In the magazine world, December will be over in a few days, but you still have some time to grab this month's issue of SELF featuring supermodel (and super mogul) Heidi Klum.  When I began my internship at SELF, this was the issue that the magazine was prepping for.  Therefore, it holds a special place in my heart.  And if you get to flip through a copy, a lot of the jewelry and some of the accessories featured have been touched by moi!

The gentlemen's magazine is paying tribute to the fallen 'Angel' on their new cover. Would this be considered a tribute or a sleazy way to make money for the publication?

The gorgeous Fawcett has appeared in the magazine a few times from 1978 to 1995.

Ok now, be honest, ooh lala or eww lala??

This Is SO It!

Today I was blessed to finally find the UK Q magazine at Barnes & Noble. It was the LAST magazine MJ posed for before he passed on. The mag printed the article in the present tense and then followed up with some tribute pages. This will be a bittersweet read because it's safe to assume this was done to promote his comeback tour in London.

After a long stint at B&N listening to the "Off the Wall" album being played in the Starbucks section then catching a classical instrumental rendition of "Smooth Criminal" as I perused for books, I came home and found an Amazon.com box waiting for me. I knew I recently ordered ONE item and it was a pre-sale item due to be released in August. To my delight it was the biography of MJ's life, "The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story". The 700+ page bio is written by an author/journalist who's known Michael since he was 18 and interviewed him and his family numerous times. I can't wait to start reading this and hopefully it will put to rest my MJ obsession.

OK!: MJ's Kids and Janet On This Week's Cover

First off, I'd like to go on the record and say that in no way am I trying to gossip or trash talk. All I'm doing is giving my opinion and I hope that I don't offend anyone who happens to read this.

So, in the new issue of OK! magazine, their cover story is saying that Michael Jackson's three children want to stay/live with their Aunt Janet. The mag reports that Prince, Paris and Blanket “...just melt into [Janet's] arms when she walks into the house.” Honestly, I think that Janet taking them on would be a wise choice. She's the youngest of the Jackson siblings and she doesn't have any other children to care for, therefore she would be able to give them the attention that they need.

Although MJ's wishes involved his mother Katherine and Diana Ross, my opinion is that he looked at those women as maternal figures because that's what they were to him [at one point he said he and his brothers stayed with Diana for a while] ]and they made him feel comfortable. So, it was a natural choice on his part to nominate them as the guardians for his children.

I don't have any doubt that Katherine could handle those kids. Except for Blanket, the older two are at an age where they can help. Not for nothing, but Prince will be able to legally drive in about 3 years. My point is, they aren't infants and I'm not saying that their age and being able to help outweighs their emotional state.

But as I said before, I honestly do think Janet would be the best fit for them if anything at least after Katherine feels as though she could not handle it anymore.

Now, on a lighter note , after going back and listening to some MJ songs on his album "HIStory" and watching his interviews where he's bashing the "tabloid" media I won't be purchasing this magazine. The "Be Our Mommy" caption makes me cringe because I know this is a far cry from the truth of the matter. But I do believe that where this is smoke there is fire, and most of the time these rags are the smoke and fire. So I guess we will have to see how this all plays out.

MJ's fans just want what is best for the kids, and I think that would be for them to remain with the Jackson family-sans Joe...I'm just saying.

Reminisce: No Doubt "Just A Girl"

This friday I will be seeing my FAVORITE BAND-NO DOUBT live for the first time! I'm more than excited, I'm jumping out of my skin. This was the band I'd send some cash to (via my mother because I was too young to work at the time) just to receive autographed pics, stickers and tees. Posters, magazines, CDs, even cassettes-I got 'em. 

And remember that classic Spin magazine that only displayed Gwen on the cover?

Yup! bought it and still have it :)

And on there most recent issue of the magazine, the whole band has graced the cover.

Also, Gwen is featured on the latest issue of Elle (cop it) and it's all about women in music. Great issue.

So, if you'll be at the PNC in Jersey screaming your head off to every single song like me, I hope you have an awesome time. I can't wait to see all of the Gwen-a-bees' style from the 1990s up to the present day.  It's going to be great.  Ps. Janelle Monae and Paramore are the opening acts... I'll be there early and ready.

Nicole Richie and beau Joel Madden were at the Santa Monica, CA grand opening of Esprit (my bread and butter). They were a part of the 'How We Met' campaign and 10% of all the sales went towards their Richie-Madden Children's Foundation.



I must say I've been obsessing over my favorite socialite lately and have also picked up mags with Ms. Richie as the cover girl.



ps. the scarf she's wearing is Esprit and in stores now!! LOVES ITTTTTTTTTTTT! ;)
