A Little of Duquette and Dawnridge For Your Day

It's hardly surprising that I found this video posted at Stella's Roar...especially with Jill's unique eye for exciting and exotic design, whether in fashion, jewelry, accessories, furniture or architecture.

Jill, one of these days when BHB makes it big, will you design a house for me a la Duquette?

Happy 4th of July!

A Day In The Life

Another day....another fashion shoot.

After my favorite stylist, Angela Aaron, a Dita von Teese look-a-like, asked Beladora to provide jewelry for another fashion shoot for Genlux magazine, I was happy to oblige.
Genlux is the sleekest magazine out there when it comes to high end fashion.

So Miss de Ville and I brought the goods


and admired the jewel toned clothes from Neiman Marcus

I couldn't stay all day because there was much to do at Beladora HQ so I left Miss de Ville with the goods.

I did though stay long enough to watch one of the shots involving the model posing on a mirror.

Here is a shot of the stylists making adjustments with the models hair and dress.

and here is the photographer getting ready to start shooting.

And here is the picture from the computer monitor...I love the software that allows you to watch each photo come up on the big monitor as the photographer is shooting....very cool.

And...I love the pave diamond collar necklace with 22 carats of bling, the pave diamond bangle bracelet and the mother of pearl and diamond bangle bracelet

I'm looking forward to the Fall issue!

Years and Years and Years Old

Gwyneth On Spain
In a new interview which is sure to irk her best friend Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow has criticised Americans for allowing their Blackberries to interfere with family life.
Hailing her 'second home' of Spain for putting family first, Gwyneth complains her native New Yorkers are too concerned with their work to fully immerse themselves in their family.

She goes on in the interview to make brilliant observations such as this

'Spain became a second home. It is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old.'


Look...I like Spain too... but I'm just going to have to miss Gwyneth's upcoming documentary.

I'm not going to bother post anymore about what she said in her interview, let's just say that I find her to be boorish and minimally talented.
