Paris Fashion Week 2012 = Balenciaga Battles the Pink Robots

All I have to say is Yoshimi, and you should know the rest. 

Her name is Yoshimi
she's a black belt in karate
working for the city
she has to discipline her body

'Cause she knows that
it's demanding
to defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Those evil-natured robots
they're programmed to destroy us
she's gotta be strong to fight them
so she's taking lots of vitamins

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me


Yoshimi

In + spi + red = Up Close and Personal

A sentence of a vagueness that is violence is authority and a mission and stumbling and also certainly also a prison. Calmness, calm is beside the plate and in way in. There is no turn in terror. There is no volume in sound.

- Gertrude Stein, Tender Buttons

Beau + ty = Abbey Lee Kershaw, Our Mountain, and Balmain Collide

My favorite model, Abbey Lee Kershaw, is apparently in a band with her boo called Our Mountain. 

I usually don't support this sort of pretty girl turns artist over night and is in an indie band that everyone all of a sudden is listening too, HOWEVER, doesn't make her any less beautiful and I honestly kind of like what the band is doing. Maybe there should just be bands that we look at, and listening comes second...? 

PLUS Our mountain and Abbey star in Balmain's newest fashion video, which is just darling. It's all about LOVE so if you're allergic to that type of thing, you might not want to venture any farther....

Color + red = The change has come.

RED ROSES.

A cool red rose and a pink cut pink, a collapse and a sold hole, a little less hot. 

-Gertrude Stein, Tender Buttons

The change in that is that red weakens an hour. The change has come.
