ADAM FREELAND - Hello I Love You (Adam Freeland Remix) on MUZU.

Amanda Lepore: Welcome to my shop!

NOT JUST A LABEL.COM’S REVOLUTIONARY SHOPPING EXPERIENCE IS NOW INTO ITS 3RD MONTH ON THE WEB AND AMANDA LEPORE, THE LACHAPELLE MUSE AND FASHION FRATERNISER, TAKES THE STAGE AS THE SHOP’S CURATOR. NJAL'S ELIZABETH DE GROOT WENT TO MEET AMANDA LEPORE IN NYC AND ASKED HER ABOUT HER SELECTION AND HER VIEW ON FASHION:

"At 17 there were two big changes in my life: One, I had a sex change. Two, I moved to New York. Both of these decisions were set to shape my life.
I became famed in New York both as a promoter and as an unusual fixture at the make-up counter at Patricia Fields. And along the way I met, and began collaborating with, the renowned photographer David LaChapelle. I became his muse and have featured in all his main books. I became famous on the New York club scene as a good time girl, who attended every party without fail! I have also become notorious for my open endorsement of cosmetic surgery in an ambition to create a perfect beauty.

My conspicuous profile has lead to appearances in ad campaigns for Heatherette, Swatch and Jawbone. I have released my own album, perfume and cosmetics range and have hosted shows for Dior Homme and Diesel and the Lifeball in Vienna. Besides opening for Grace Jones and Cindy Lauper I recently appeared in French playboy they even made an Amanda Lepore doll!
My selection for NJAL is based not only around my own eccentric and glamorous style, but my appreciation of the need for new and fresh talent. Look out for me during New York fashion week as I will be wearing some NJAL designers!"

What happens when the right people hook up?

You wake up in the middle of nowhere.
You get molested, sniffed and drooled over by various dogs two days in a row.
You drink with the russian tycoons.
You get wasted with your middle aged landlord. You hook up with his wife.
You wake up, again, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by hundreds of sheep.
You dive into a hidden hollywood style pool.
You find yourself in a staged Last Supper photoshoot.
You spot a beefcake with scoliosis.
You fall in love. (not with the beefcake)
All this in only two days.

Fashion show invitation

Most kindly welcome, if you happen to be in Portoroz tonight at 22h in Paprika. The entrance is free, but please, do dress up. Preferably in Black.
The organizer promised a party with free cocktails, which is another bonus.
Hope to see you there!

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

"In the world of pop music, there is Michael Jackson and there is everybody else"

The news that he died came to my ears on Bishevo Island, far away from the civilized world and internet access. I remember it was a gloomy rainy day and this was quite a depressing moment.
Some heaviness lay on my soul. It made me turn back time into the year 1997 when lady Di passed away. I remember that moment I heard the news. I was on a plane to Moscow, and a couple of days later, while I was dining out in a traditional russian restaurant, everybody, I mean literally EVERYBODY, was watching the memorial service on TV. All TV's were turned on for that reason. Strange feeling it was. The awareness of death of such a world popular figure.
Yesterday, while back in civilized Ljubljana, I spent hours and hours youtubing for his old Thriller album, my favourite, watching the documentary (Martin Bashir: Living with Michael Jackson, I was quite annoyed with the way Bashir was questioning Michael, he seemed to be determined to make him a bad guy) and thinking what a poor soul he was, destroyed by the cruelty of the media, journalists, paparazzi... Fame is a strange thing really.
I would never want to be in his shoes.
But nevertheless he's the King and it seems he will stay this way.

I've been wondering for quite a while what she looks like without clothes....

Two Ladies in Vogue

Luckilly I live just across the Slovenia Times office and luckilly Brane, the director, is my old friend, otherwise I don't know where could you possibly get a copy of the magazine in Ljubljana.. Only airport and hotels apparently..
Well, it is a lovely interview and it will be great for the extension of my cultural status at the Ministry of culture. ;)

And Martica, my dearest Vogue Lady, thank you for a wonderful evening tonight. For true friendship. For the connection. Love.
I love you girl. <3

The Letter

" Dear Davorka,

After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you a place.

However, your name has been placed on the reserve list and should a place become available, I will inform you immediately at the contact address you have provided."

K4 4EVA!.......and beyond

Listening to the new K4 Format 09 whilst cooking lunch....
Yesterday in our favorite basement, there was an official launch of Format 09, live presentation and an exhibition A designers view, as part of the 20 year anniversary celebration of K4 club.
Well done, dear young slovenian producers! I am very satisfied with your work on this "Plata" and extremely happy with the direction you choose to follow.
And above all, proud to be part of this basement urban tribe.
Also sorry to hear that Mikec and Nina are leaving the headquarters of K4, but they were reassuring me last night that they will still keep an eye on the club. I was afraid that K4 might be turned now into a new KMŠ, or some other disaster clubs with lets-get-really-fucked-up-and-wasted-on-cheap-beer-and-horror-tasteless-cheasy-music. But luckilly this is not the case.
I give them all the credits for succesful 5 years. I can't really see anyone as a good replacement for Mik, but...changes are always good. Fresh breeze.
Dear K4, happy anniversary!
I wish you to be rocking many many decades more, I wish you silver, gold and diamond anniversary too. I wish by the time diamond anniversary hits the calendar, I will be well botoxed, tuned up, to still have the legs for wearing hot pants and red lipstick and still dance in the pool. In tha club pool. Oooh yeah!

Gosh everyone here wants your pieces, fantastic stuff!!!

That's the respond I got yesterday from Stefan, the Not Just A Label team member.
Last week I sent them 5 of my most extravagant outfits, which will take part in THE SHOP.

NJAL is the leading online platform for emerging graduates and design talents with more than a thousand fashion designers from over 40 countries. THE SHOP is a new online initiative which will be launched on May 28th and will offer one-off pieces from designers like Ute Ploier, Anna Aichinger, Husam El Odeh and many others.

The first to host THE SHOP is Robin Schulie, head-buyer of Maria Luisa store in Paris and Unit F, the Austrian Association for Contemporary fashion.

DIANE PERNET will be the sites host in July! Every month another leading industry figure will host NJAL.

THE SHOP will launch on the 28th May together with the 9 festival for fashion & photography in Vienna, initiated and organised by Unit F buro fur mode.

I must say, my dream to meet Diane Pernet, my personal idol, is slowly coming to an end. It's becoming reality.

Plus, did I mention that Dazed and Confused and other major fashion magazines are covering this project?

I would sooo want designer pets like these...;)
