Claws!



There is a new trend with fingernails that I could do without.
They are called Stilettos.
Not only is this vampiress trend extremely unattractive I think they look scary as hell! I'm not sure what would compel any women to look like an animal. These nails are fun in movies for a bitchy villain but in everyday life they just make you look bitchy.
Thanks goodness though, this trend should not be lasting long. We are starting to see a bit more natural shaped nails in Vogue and Cosmopolitan. Lets hope these nails don't come back then they are gone.

Fabric Made of Milk!!!


That's right Microbiologist and designer Anke Domaske has created a fabric made completely of milk. Qmilch, is what they are calling it. The word is a combination of the word quality and the German word for milk.
The sour milk is made into a protein powder, heated, and then spun into fabric. It takes just two liters of water to create half a pound of fabric! This fabric is supposed to be great for people with skin allergy's. Its as soft as silk, and as durable and as breathable as cotton. They found a way to produce this fabric without any chemical additives so it 100% environmentally friendly.
I think its pretty amazing what people can create out of the most unexpected things. I would have never thought it would be possible to make a lasting, good quality fabric out of something we drink.
You can find many garments made of milk in Domaske's Mademoiselle Chi Chi clothing line.
