Celebrity Stylist June Ambrose

CELEBRITY STYLIST JUNE ABROSE LANDS HER OWN TV SHOW


I have personally been waiting for this! June Ambrose has got to be one of the flyest women in the business, straight sick with it! If you don't know who she is and you think you know a thing or two about style or fashion you know nothing. Luckily for you this show is happening, I can't wait! So excited, throws up glitter, winding my waist, dancing around in a semi-circle. 

Rollingout.com reported the story earlier today:

Style maven June Ambrose will wield her magic fashion wand on VH1 on a half-hour docu-series tentatively titled, “The June Ambrose Project.” Ambrose has styled some of the biggest pop culture stars including Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Ripa, Alicia Keys, Sean Combs, Kim Cattrall and even The Dave Matthews Band.

Ambrose and her team will take on the challenge of recreating the images and brands of up-and-coming and established celebrities. Each episode will chronicle the rebranding of these musicians and actors and will be followed with a makeover chat.

Additionally, viewers will have the rare opportunity to see how Ambrose balances family and her role as CEO of her celebrity styling boutique agency, Mode Squad, along with her record label, book projects, style interventions for friends, fashion shows and photo shoots.

“We at VH1 are so thrilled to dive into the fashion world with none other than the industry’s top styling icon, June Ambrose,” said Jeff Olde, EVP, Original Programming and Production VH1 in a statement to the press. “June is a true original and a creative force of nature who will offer our viewers an exclusive peek behind the curtain into her world of celeb fashion and branding.”

One of the production houses on the project team is Ish Entertainment.  Ish is responsible for: “Road To Redemption,”  the series that followed the rapper T.I. during his year before serving a jail term for gun possession; “The Money and Power,” a series starring rapper 50 Cent in which he gives street advice to aspiring entrepreneurs, and several seasons of “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF” for domestic (MTV) and international markets.

The show will premiere in early 2012. –yvette caslin

THE SUPERB FERRARI 458 SPIDER




The latest open-top ride from Ferrari is the gorgeous Ferrari 458 Spider. Looking intimidatingly good, the topless version of the already awesome 458 coupe will be first available in Europe, where the wealthiest of all will be able to buy it starting spring 2012. Ferrari diehard fans in the States will just have to wait a little longer for the droptop to make it to their garages (by the end of 2012).

CHANEL SHADE PARADE (VIDEO)



Taking more than just a few hints from Parisian theaters like the Lido, Crazy Horse, or Moulin Rouge, a new online clip showcases the Chanel’s new fall lacquers “live on stage.”

In the video, hand models for the brand are having fun “performing” in a very Crazy Horse-inspired mirror scene, frolicking on swings made of pearl strings, and even sliding down a miniature replica of the famous Chanel staircase.

The brand’s fall nail varnishes include a reddish palette (Dragon, Lotus Rouge, Rouge Fatal, and Rouge Noir), pink and peachy hues (Pêche Nacrée, Inattendu, and Jade Rose), two glittery shades (Black Pearl and Pearl Drop), and the neutral Tendresse.

It's really cute.

MERCEDES BENZ F125 CONCEPT UNVEILED AT FRANKFURT


The Frankfurt Motor Show for the year will surely bring a lot of amazing automobiles and concepts to the foray. And to begin proceedings we have the hydrogen fuel-cell powered Mercedes-Benz F125 concept that promises an average of 105 mpg. Taking cue from the S-Class coupe for its roofline, and the Mercedes CLS for the six-bar grille, the car is a four-seater sedan-styled model with a 470-liter boot. The interiors are modern, spacious and simple, just like every other Mercedes-Benz. You can fold away the front passenger seat to create a reclined style seating for the rear passenger. Set in carbon fiber reinforced plastic and aluminum, the lightweight car works on gesture controls. The car can hit 0-62 mph in less than five seconds.
