Dear Jon...

Do You Know Who This Young Man Is???

Well, if you don't or if you need to be reacquainted, Everyone Meet Guess, Tom, Jean Paul Gauliter and Etro's goldenboy Jon Kortajarena Redruello. This 23 year old native of Spain is one of the top 10 male models to date, number 9 to be exact. You would have first seen this man around January. "04" gracing the runways for Emporio Armani and John Galliano. Nowadays you can catch him in Guess stores on the Marketing or in magazines as Tom Ford's front man. At the rate he's going I feel that he'll be number 1 in no time. If by any chance your interested to know what Jon's interested in, he's into photography, independent films and Paulo Coellio books.

BE AMAZED:

“I think I'm a tolerant person who respects people the way they are. But I admit, I'm stubborn and impatient. I have lots of defects and virtues, just like everybody else.”-Jon Kortajarena

Jennifer Biel Would Get A Kick Out Of This

So has anyone seen Prada's spring line recently? well let me just say its still a little girly for my taste, but I do love that they at least have there models in pants this time around.

Though the suits are very well tailored, that might be the most masculine part of the collection. As a guy I just dont see the appeal of anything "off the shoulder" unless I'm this lady,

Then the polo dresses and the handbags, "OH MY". Lets just say Prada as far as your womenswear, I'm a big fan. But I dont see myself in a Prada Polo dress this year.

Pretty girls Big dogs

As I walked home from work today, I noticed a youngish boy walking a beautiful, majestic German Shepherd. I immediately was jealous. I looked great today and a dog like that would have been the perfect companion/ accessory! The Arnold has just always loved animals and dogs in particular. My years with my Golden Retriever were some of my fondest memories from my childhood. And though I love little Yorkies and Chihuahuas and Shih Tzus, The Arnold needs a mans dog. One that can knock me down while wrestling. One that BARKS not yaps. And I thought about it. As good a I'd look walking a Husky or German or Golden Retriever, I LOVE seeing a sexy, fashionable woman in control of a big dog. My friend and a former Miss Pennsylvania, Samantha walks around with her huge Doberman Pinscher, which I find to be one of the chicest breeds! Before Paris Hilton, fashionable ladies walked Greyhounds, Standard Poodles, and Collies. And Chanel had a thing for Borzois; a regal and huge Russian hunting dog. Trust The Arnold, ladies. Invest in a dog that can protect your purse, not fit in it.

Bow wow,
The Arnold

Olivia my sweet

Okay so I just got done watching the series premiere of The City well actually I'm watching it for the second time as I type this post. First, I wanna say that I'm addicted and I can not get enough of Olivia and her bitchy queeny cousin. Although it is Whitney's show I am smitten with Olivia. I love her! she was everything I dreamed. She is a total bitch and I love it! She throws the SHADE. Just look at her facial expressions they are priceless. AND she is without a flaw the hair the shoe, the look all done to perfection . Did you not love the look she was giving in Philips restaurant? Now on to Whitney. Frankly, I think she is kind of boring to me and I mean I love her to bits but come on Whitney you gotta shake things up a lil. I'm totally ready for this season of The City. Are you ?

WAIT best line from the show

One more thing make yourself familiar with Olivia's scandal, Because this is the real reason why she is famous and works at DVF and on the The City. PR is a beauiful thing dont you think.

GOOD JOB Ms. Knowles

Guess who introduced "The Diva" to avant garde showstopper Gareth Pugh. Now I thought it was Ty Hunter her stylist but "no no no" it was Solange. According to Ty, Solange fell head over heels over the S/S collection after seeing it in Paris and the rest was history. I say good move Solange, now you can add stylist to your long resume.
