American Idol update. . . . . !

Hi Jennifer & Friends! Michael Castro, Jason's brother, made his debut last night on 'Idol' and for some reason he got a ticket to Hollywood. He was average at best and looks like a complete punker. Purple and orange hair with a punk rock outfit. I didn't see or hear it but he won't last long. He and his brother just don't care enough to have anyone care if they make it. He told the judges that he just started signing three weeks ago. Yeah right!

Ashley Anderson did a good job last night and she is gorgeous. I think her star quality is far better then most on the show.

My vote for Kara as a good addition to the show is improving. I think she adds a certain quality to the show and will help Paula fend off Simon.

The sob story for the evening was from Danny, a 28 year old music teacher. For him coming to the audition was nothing short of an emotional sacrifice. His wife had died of a heart condition recently and he said he was close to not trying out because the emotions were so intense. He sang I heard It Through the Grapevine. He was very soulful with good rhythm. Randy Jackson said he is the best he has seen! He was off to Hollywood and when he went outside the door he held up his ticket and said, “Sophia this one is for you.”

That's all for now. I have to go to work.

It's "Idol" time. . . . !

Hi Jennifer and Friends. I'm so glad a new season of American Idol started and I watched the entire show. I have to say that bikini girl is not that good. Actually she was terrible, but what a bod. I wish my butt looked like that. She is something else. I hope her mother's proud. And does she have an attitude or what? I hope she comes to Hollywood and gains weight.

Did you see her prance around all day in her bikini? OMG! What kind of girl would do that just to be on TV. I guess that's a stupid question. Anyway, it should be a fun season. I'm not sure what I think about the new judge Kara. It's to early to tell.

Lynn, Los Angeles.

Thanks!

No Fakes!

Hi Jennifer & Gang!

Happy New Year to all! I read your post on "No Fakes" and being from L.A., I completely agree with you. This was big news here and its just the tip of the iceberg. Fake 'everything' is big business and some of my friends par-take in buying fakes and try to pass them off as the real thing. A fake designer bag is not going to last and it's not made to last so you can really tell when you see it a couple of times. I always call them on it when they try to bring hem out and pass them off as real. Baloney!

What I see a lot now is the consignment shops selling fake designer items trying to pass them off as genuine. How can they do that? They must know the items brought in by the customers are fake. You could'nt give me a fake bag or pay me to shop in a consignment store.

And you're absolutely right about the area where they sell these items. Its a gross area and really grimy. Yuck! Your post really hit a sore spot with me. Keep up the great work!

When are you coming to L.A. again? When you do please look me up and we'll go out on the town. I'll take you to the places where people who buy the "real thing" go. It will be a blast. Let me know. Hey! I also love the new Yoana Baraschi green dress that just came in. It's beautiful!

$2.8M Seized In Counterfeits

I was just reading my trade journal, WWD and came across an article regarding a big counterfeit bust in Los Angeles. Apparently, more than 200,00 counterfeit apparel items and pirated CD's with a street value of $2.8 million were seized last week. It was the second largest raid in LA county history. Counterfeit goods, in LA county alone, cost businesses billions a year in lost revenue. I've seen the district in LA where the bust was made (it's in the garment district) and it's absolutely despicable.

Fakes are a definite NO!

Jennifer

Sale Jackets!

Both of these jackets are gorgeous! I love the color combination and the vintage look that they both have to them. Now that they're on SALE maybe I should get both? The Nicole Benisti "Mod Print" Jacket will look great with all my jeans and brown colored shoes and the Nicole Benisti "Grey Ruffle" Jacket will go perfect with all my darker "work" clothes!

SALE

I was looking through the SALE section and love so many items! I can't believe this amazing mark down! I'm definitely making a long list. So far on my list I have the Fashionista "Zig Zag" Jacket, the Alice & Trixie "Becky" Dress, and the Susana Monaco "Crawford" Top which I have had my eye on forever!
