Lingerie-clad Mariah Carey leaves little to the imagination as she hosts a boudoir themed event

By  01.00   No comments

Supermodels are known to not get out of bed for less $10,000 but this singer will hope right back in bed to celebrate her cosmetics line.

And that is exactly what Mariah Carey did in New York on Saturday night.

The 46-year-old shunned clothes in favour of something a little silkier for the launch of her M.A.C Cosmetics Mariah Carey Beauty Icon Launch at Baccarat Hotel.

Mimi celebrated the release of her long awaited line with the cosmetics giant by inviting beauty insiders to jump in bed with her.

It was a strictly boudoir wear only dress code for the luxurious and a little cheeky affair.

Of course being lover of barely there opulent lingerie, the lady of the hour was all too happy to dress to the occasion.

For the launch the Mariah's World star's line, she donned a very tight silk lace-trimmed off-white teddy which featured a plunging neckline.

So plunging that it was fastened together with just a tiny silk string and was unable to cover her chest.

To ensure she did not put on more of show than she bargained for, the songstress wore a bra in the same fabric and design but, even still, her cups threatened to runneth over with every pose.

Mariah being Mariah could not help but add a pair of fishnets, this time opting for some flesh coloured hosiery.

Sweet dreams: Not done there, the diva wore a matching silk and lace trimmed silk robe which was tied at her hips but did little to cover her

Making the look more opulent, the All I Want For Christmas star wore two diamond necklaces.

The double pieces of bling meant she was still able to shine without one piece of very important bling - her engagement ring.

Until recently Mariah refused to take off the $10 million ring given to her by now ex-fiance James Packer.

But it seems now that she has gone public with her relationship with toy boy backup dancer beau Bryan Tanaka she is willing to do without the expensive accessory. 

Mariah - who has previously released a lipstick with M.A.C - now has a whole collection out just in time for the holidays.

RACIST LINGERIE? Cosmopolitan Criticizes Victoria's Secret

By  21.00   No comments

Cosmopolitan writer Helin Jung wrote that Victoria’s Secret has developed racist lingerie for its annual fashion show. Yes, apparently lingerie can be racist:

None of that even sounds nice, but if it does, don’t let yourself be hoodwinked by Victoria’s Secret’s brazen attempt to re-label what is clearly cultural appropriation by turning it into a celebration of “culture.” The brand and its creative leads shamelessly cherry-picked imagery, breaking apart aesthetic references from wherever they wanted and stitching them back together again. They’re telling us it’s worldliness. It’s not, it’s a hack job.

As Emily Zanotti at Heat Street points out, when anyone tries to celebrate culture, people will greet it “with charges of bigotry.”

The first segment called “The Road Ahead” wanted to showcase different cultures around the world, featuring items designed from the people the theme wants to celebrate:

Arpana Rayamajhi, a Nepalese jewelry designer based in New York City, described the theme this way: She said, “The idea is that you’re blending little bits of this and that from all cultures around the world.” Rayamajhi created much of the handmade jewelry for the segment; the jewelry included silk threads turned into tassels, coins from Nepal, and beads â€" “a huge part of my culture.”

For some reason, Jung cannot stand this. She also found it disturbing that the company used “strips of culture” in its designs, “inspired by the likes of Peruvian, Mexican, and Chinese design.” Jung continued:

Collection creative director Sophia Neophitou described the hand-painted fabrics used in this segment by saying, “It’s meant to be this naive, homespun … but this is so luxurious.”

It doesn’t get much more patronizing than that, does it? The original version is made by simple people (“naive”) who make crafts (“homespun”), and it’s Victoria’s Secret that can elevate the primitive to something more “luxurious.” What would be the point of the corporation’s untold resources and unparalleled knowledge of world cultures if it couldn’t do that?

Nope. To Jung, all of this is another way for the Western world to show hatred towards other cultures. It is another way for the Western world to profit off of others.

Look, social justice warriors, you can’t have it both ways. You cannot complain about a lack of diversity or that others do not care about other cultures and then bitch when a company does exactly that:

With its positive, pre-emptive spin about globalization and multi-culturalism, Victoria’s Secret seems to have anticipated my response. The brand is leading with the notion that we’re all members of the human race, therefore everything belongs to everyone. But this is exceptional disingenuousness coming from a brand that once put Karlie Kloss in a Native American war bonnet and leopard print underwear. The fact is that even as the world gets more connected, a sexist, patriarchal, mostly white corporation continues to take what it wants for its own gain. Its exploitation of these cultural references is meant to lead directly to profits. And I’m not buying it.

So where does it stop? It’s a no win situation when it comes to these social justice warriors who want to find fault in everything they see. The warriors complain about a lack of diversity, but when a company decides to make diversity a theme the warriors claim racism.

I admit I had a hard time writing this post because I could hardly find the words to express the weirdness in Jung’s train of thought.

But will the warriors ever learn to take it easy and stop taking everything so seriously?

Halle Berry Launches Sexy New Lingerie Line At 50, Features On Bruno Mars’s New Album ’24K Magic’

By  05.00   No comments

Halle Berry may be 50-years-old, but she can still show off her body for a steamy lingerie photo shoot, according to TooFab. The Monster’s Ball actress, who turned 50 this past summer, is really enjoying her age.

Halle Berry took to Instagram to share steamy photos of herself wearing sexy lingerie. With the photo shoot, the actress announced she’s launching a brand new lingerie line. On the photo, the 50-year-old actress is seen wearing a wet, see-through T-shirt with black lacy panties.

While the photo was taken from behind, Halle Berry still doesn’t look her age.

In the caption to the sexy snap, the actress says, “the big FIVE OH has taught me to be FEARLESS.”

Announcing her new lingerie line at 50-years-old, Halle Berry wrote that she knows one thing for sure: It’s “never” too early or too late to do “what EVER makes you happy.” The actress also added that the steamy pic was a little behind-the-scenes image from her recent shoot.

With a link to the private Instagram account @scandalehalleberry, Halle Berry seems to have revealed the name of her future lingerie line. It’s yet unclear when the Catwoman actress is going to launch the line. On her website, Berry described the lingerie line as “lingerie for real women.”

“We have real curves, real colors, and real needs. We deserve lingerie that lives up to us.”

Halle Berry also praised her lingerie line for being “beautiful” lingerie that’s also practical, functional, and comfortable. If all of the lingerie on her new lingerie line is as sexy as that one from her photoshoot, then the Scandale Halle Berry line could easily become a hit.

Halle Berry also claims that her lingerie is “so comfortable” that women can never take it off. Because, as the actress claims, this is the kind of lingerie women “can stay in, play in, live all-day-every-day in.”

In addition to launching a new lingerie line, Halle Berry is also lending her voice to Bruno Mars’s newly released album 24K Magic, according to People magazine. The actress is no stranger to being part of the music industry.

Halle Berry has been name-checked on several songs, including Kendrick Lamar’s “Money Trees,” but now the Catwoman actress also wants her own voice to be part of the music industry.

In Mars’s newly released album, Halle Berry makes a special appearance on the seventh track called “Calling All My Lovelies.” As the song’s title suggests it, Mars is trying to reach Berry by phone.

But Halle Berry appears to be unable to answer the phone, so the actress recorded a voicemail and sent a kiss through the air at the end.

“Hi, you’ve reached Halle Berry. Sorry, I can’t get to the phone right now, but if you leave your name and number, I’ll get right back to you.”

So Halle Berry’s fans shouldn’t be surprised when they hear the mention of her name as well as recognize her own voice in the new song. Because it was actually Berry herself who recorded that voicemail!

Even though Halle Berry played her iconic role as Catwoman over a decade ago, she’s still one of the most attractive women of DC Comics films, according to the Daily Mail. One more proof of that is Gal Gadot, who was cast as Wonder Woman, saying that she would pick Berry as her potential future love interest.

When Gadot was asked on Good Night with Guy Pines about her character possibly being bisexual, the actress said she already had an actress in mind to play her potential love interest. And that actress is Halle Berry!

“I saw her the other day, Halle Berry. She’s so beautiful. Wow! She’s gorgeous! So… yeah, I could do it with her.”

Victoria's Secret Accused of Designing 'Racist Lingerie'

Womenswear brand Victoria’s Secret has been accused of cultural appropriation and of designing “racist” lingerie by a lifestyle editor at Cosmopolitan magazine.

In an article, Helin Jung, executive lifestyle editor at the outlet, criticized what she called the “sexist, patriarchal, mostly white corporation” for its “brazen” perpetuation of “what is clearly cultural appropriation.”

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

Jung begins her critique by describing the Victoria’s Secret annual fashion show, which kicked off Wednesday in Paris.

“Models dressed in costumes fit for segments called ‘Dark Angel,’ ‘Secret Angel,’ and ‘Bright Night Angels’ stomped down the runway at the Grand Palais, showing off the sculpted results of their life’s work and ‘naturally’ enhanced hair,” Jung wrote.

After detailing the various designers, models, and entertainers showcased at the “multimillion-dollar televised panty parade,” Jung ominously warns, “But look closer and you’ll see that the golden glitter path is paved with unfortunate intentions.”

Jung’s biggest point of contention, apparently, is that while Victoria’s Secret’s appears to celebrate the world’s multicultural beauty through design and fashion, it is actually engaging in the “exploitation of these cultural references.”

“[D]on’t let yourself be hoodwinked by Victoria’s Secret’s brazen attempt to relabel what is clearly cultural appropriation by turning it into a celebration of ‘culture,'” Jung wrote. “The brand and its creative leads shamelessly cherry-picked imagery, breaking apart aesthetic references from wherever they wanted and stitching them back together again. They’re telling us it’s worldliness. It’s not; it’s a hack job.”

Jung rails against Chinese cultural appropriation, writing that “the emblems that stood out most were the ones that came from Asia â€" specifically China.”

But Jung also acknowledges that Nepalese  jewelry designer Arpana Rayamajhi created most of the work for the segment.

Jung firmly rejects Victoria’s Secret for its seemingly sincere attempt at appreciating the world’s cultures.

“With its positive, pre-emptive spin about globalization and multiculturalism, Victoria’s Secret seems to have anticipated my response,” Jung wrote. “The brand is leading with the notion that we’re all members of the human race, therefore everything belongs to everyone.”

UPDATE: Cosmopolitan appears to have taken down the article, as the link leads to an error message. The article is still available in an archived link here.

Social media users who noticed the article ripped the fashion website for publishing the piece, which accused Victoria Secret of mass cultural appropriation for profit.

Other social media users mocked Cosmopolitan for deleting the article.
