classy vs. unclassy

-Will and Kate in matching outfits! Kate can definitely pull of this boyish style.... even when she's shopping for groceries! (Sidenote: Why the f*** is everyone so damn fascinated every time Kate goes grocery shopping? I don't get it. Now clothes shopping, that's another story) Basically anything this couple does is ridiculously #CLASSY

-On the boyish style topic: Lady Gaga released her new album cover for 'You and I' (umlauts over the u - of course!) single and simultaneously introduced her male alter ego who eerily resembles Prince. Anyone else think so? Anyways, Mother Monster has a photo book in the making by the notorious Terry Richardson (read: creep, porny, gross). Gaga's note on Richardson? "he'd film me, like, peeing in a cup, and, like ridiculous things". We can't wait to see that in the book, now can we Little Monsters? Hm methinks there are things that should stay behind closed doors. #UNCLASSY

-The cast of Glee at the 'Glee 3D Concert' premiere. Super stylish and super #CLASSY. My favorite was Dianna Agron! Absolutely gorgeous! I love her hair, makeup, and her dress! I love her!

-Speaking of concerts...Oh RiRi. In her concert in Barbados, Rihanna brought up a 60 year old fan(? maybe innocent bystander), to grind on top of during one of her songs. Hey, I have no backstory here so I'm not quite sure what was going on, but SO many things! Number one, what is this guy doing at a Rihanna concert? Was a Grateful Dead coverband opening? Number two, most Rihanna (male- and some female) fans would be ecstatic to be brought on stage and grinded on (I guess?), but this guy?! This guy looks miserable - as if he's just been given a death sentence. Maybe he's just not into a little S&M ? #UNCLASSY.

classy vs. unclassy

-Elizabeth Taylor, the epitome of class (1932-2011).

-The Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas that notoriously pickets the funerals of fallen U.S. soldiers, and is now threatening to picket Elizabeth Taylor's funeral because of her support of the gays and AIDS research. UNCLASSY. Not to mention, a generally terrible, selfish thing to do. Unbelieveable. And you call this a religion...

-On a lighter note, tweens finding love, the Biebs and Selena Gomez.... so long as they keep it PG... CLASSY. I think? Looks like that Bieber fever's cooling down. I'm all for that!

-Tween, Rebecca Black essentially getting bullied on Twitter, etc. UNCLASSY. God, I really do hate that song, but let's face it... this girl clearly dreamed big, and actually got somewhere with her dreams... gotta give her credit for that. But don't mistake that for me giving her credit for writing such fabulous lyrics (Please note the sarcasm).

-Bravo's Million Dollar Listing. CLASSY. Classy houses, classy SoCal, and most of all, classy men... Especially Josh Flagg and Madison Hildebrand. SO unbelieveably classy. (Expect a Men of Million Dollar Listing Fashion post soon!). I'm obsessed with these two.

-The third guy of MDL, Josh Altman, mixing business with pleasure. UNCLASSY. He's quite the shark, AND he has issues with Madison Hildebrand. Who knew that was possible!

How can you not love Malibu Madison? A complete shark. That's who.

-50cent's tweets about Japan. UNCLASSY.

Alright now Fiddy, it was about time for an apology, but instead you came out with this "ignorant" ish. I could run around naked for a week for "shock value" but you don't see me doing that. Hate it or Love it.

-Gwen Stefani, THE Harajuku girl herself, donating $1million to Japanese relief. CLASSY.

"I've been inspired by Japan for many years and have a true love, appreciation and respect for the Japanese people and their culture" - Gwen Stefani

- Underdogs #WINNING in March Madness. CLASSY. Cheers to you Virginia Commonwealth, Florida State, and Butler. Something else that's classy? Brad Stevens. He may be a youngin' but he's definitely a handsome young thaang.

-#WINNING like Charlie Sheen? Ummmm, do I really need to say it? UNCLASSY. Now what exactly is he winning at? Oh Charlie....

classy vs. unclassy

-Keeping up to date with the latest technology and gadgets with sexy ipods/imacs/ipads. CLASSY.

-New designed clothes for iPad owners that beg for people to steal ipads, literally right out of their pockets. UNCLASSY. Alright so the first picture may be a joke, but the second picture is definitely not. While the Little Black Dress is ALWAYS classy, a Little Black Dress iPad Pocket is not. It's screaming, "steal me!" But I must admit, the girl in the picture works that dress.

_____

-And while we're on the subject... the sleek technology and multi purpose functionality of the i PAD. CLASSY.

- Overload of PDA. Do I really need to say? UNCLASSY.
_____

-This "Cleavage Caddy". UNCLASSY. Really?! Would you really want lipstick melting/smearing all over you. Jeeez. You might as well stick a juice pack in one of those and sip it through the straw. Question... does this thing make your boobs look abnormally shaped? Ew. -Ummm I can't even think up a CLASSY counterpart to this...

_____

-Staying classy... CLASSY. duhhh.
-Getting a tattoo that says "Stay Classy San Diego" from Anchorman.... I'll have to go with UNCLASSY. Will Ferrell, you're a classy dude. I just wouldnt want you tattooed on my arm, or leg, or anywhere really.

_____

-Cosmo's DIY and Beauty Secrets. CLASSY. We all appreciate those little tips and insights Cosmo!!!
-Cosmo's DIY Bikini wax article and included stencils to help shape your shrub. Ummmm. Oh boy. UNCLASSY? Okay. Its very important that we're all trimmed and smooth. But leave the waxing to Olga, okay? Especially the extra manicuring and shaping. Yeah, I'll have the arrow design... NOT.

_____

-So a few "Classy vs. Unclassy" posts back I left it up to you guys to decide whether Crocs Flats were Classy or Unclassy (See the post HERE). My verdict is that Croc Flats are in fact, CLASSY. Okay so I've only seen them worn in public at parks, and at Whole Foods, but they are quite cute!!!-Nipple Clogs. Need I say more? UNCLASSY. (the picture below has been censored because this is a classy blog... none of that here!)

What do YOU think?

The Tight Pants Ban in Indonesia banning Muslim women from wearing form revealing clothes which includes tight jeans, pants, skirts, and dresses. Those found violating this dresscode are cited by the Islamic police, given a long skirt, and have their pants confiscated and have "moral implications"... I'm thinking America could use some sort of ban like this for certain people.

Is Indonesia's Aceh's province trying to be CLASSY? or just overbearingly censored and UNCLASSY.

classy vs. unclassy

-A Madonna/Lady Gaga/Michael Jackson-esque crotch grab, not entirely, but needless to say, in essence, CLASSY.
-Miley Cyrus crotch grabbing in concert in front of her 10-14 year old fans. Ehhh, I'd have to say UNCLASSY. Miss Cyrus isn't even an adult!!

_____

-Belting "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus during a summertime drive with the chicas. CLASSY. You know its a guilty pleasure ;]
-Singing "Party in the USA" at the Teen Choice Awards, while dancing on a stripper pole. UNCLASSY. Again, how old are you Miley? No, seriously. How old? Okay, this isn't Hate on Miley Cyrus week, these just seem fitting. I think deep down inside Mileys a real classy lady, she just thinks shes a bit older than she actually is. What happened to innocent little Hannah Montana?

_____

-Kentucky Derby hats in all their drama, feathers galore!! CLASSY!
-Trying to actually watch the Kentucky Derby race while sitting behind hats like the ones above? Im sure it's annoying, possibly UNCLASSY. But hey, its the spirit of the event! And plus, these hats are so fun to look at!!!

_____

- Arizona's confict with the Immigration Law and all of it's chaos. Ridiculous! UNCLASSY. Ew, swastikas smeared on windows with refried beans. No thanks.

-Arizona's big time partying in the Valley for SEX AND THE CITY deuxx!! SOOO RIDICULOUSLY CLASSY! Check out the ultimate SATC2 bashes going on in the Valley, including a party at the W Scottsdale (pictured above)! Who knew a place so far could make you feel as glamorous and glitzy as the NYC?!?! Ohhh how I wish I was a Arizona Valley girl (kinda).
P.S. for all of you SATC2 fanatics throwing your own parties, check this out...

What better way to celebrate the movie, and your girlfriends, of course, with a Limited Edition SKYY VODKA Sex and the City 2 Bottle?!

What do YOU think?!

Okay, so everybody's talking about this dance routine. Classy or Unclassy?
They're so itty-bitty and adorably cute! But I guess some people take their dancing the wrong way. But then again, what are these girls' parents thinking?! My momma wouldn't let me dress/dance like that. What's the verdict?

classy vs. unclassy

• Retro art featuring women. CLASSY.
• Retro approach to women... like Republican Tom Ganley, challenger for a seat in Congress, who mass mailed a flier that said "Let's take Betty Sutton out of the House and send her back to the kitchen". definitely UNCLASSY. Who do you think you are Mr. Ganley? No, no, you're not Ricky Ricardo from I Love Lucy. So much for getting into politics Tom.

Congresswoman Betty Sutton (R)... not to be confused with Betty Crocker.

• A cute little black skirt that fits in all the right places. CLASSY.
• THIS black skirt that looks like an awkward attempt at a chastity belt. UNCLASSY. not only does this look weird, but it probably is completely uncomfortable to wear!

• Low riding boyfriend jeans!! Adorable, and oh so CLASSY.
• Contraptions that aim to cover your coin slot when wearing jeans that expose your crack. UNCLASSY. Okay, so they're decorated with rhinestones AND they're only $14.99, but really?! As if you wanted more attention to your out in the open buttcrack. Kimberlily's Backtacular Shields? Ummmm, not okay. Spend your $14.99 on a BELT.

• Tie-dyed/ombre style summer dresses!! CLASSY.
• Tie-dyed dresses that just look cheap! UNCLASSY!
  

UNCLASSY winner goes to J-Woww
Girl, I know MTV has to be paying you well enough to buy a new pair of jeans! And you're definitely being paid well enough to buy yourself a shirt... hell, I've seen you wear EdHardy. Don't go around acting like you cant afford a shirt!

What do you think?
Classy or Unclassy?


Baggy Winecoat $58

Perfect for picnics and ... well, getting discreetly saucy in public places?

classy vs. unclassy

- The 5th avenue Easter Hat Parade in New York City where women can show off their crazy/kooky/beautiful/weird hats. CLASSY. It was quite the show!
- Protesting the Pope outside of St. Patrick's Cathedral on 5th avenue, NYC on Easter Sunday. UNCLASSY. Don't get me wrong here. I do not agree with how the Pope & Catholic Church is handling these issues, but come on protesters, respect the Holy Day of Easter! Protest any other day, anywhere... but not in front of a church on Easter!

This picture may not give these amazing hats justice, but these people don't mess around when it comes to their hats!

- Retro Barbie. CLASSY.
- Being addicted to plastic surgery, like Heidi Montag is, in hopes of looking like Barbie. UNCLASSY. Miss Montag, you were gorgeous before, whyyy?! Her latest made up plastic surgery? Back Scooping. Really?

Oh Heidi...

- Flying Virgin America Airlines where the lighting is purple, you can order food, movies, games, music, etc from your seat on your personal screen. A couch potato's dream. CLASSY.
- Spirit Airlines charging $45 for carry on bags. UNCLASSY. Really? Are they trying to go out of business? Tough times, I know, but over head bags, $45?!

Walking onto a Virgin America flight you think, "Am I in a night club?". You might as well be!

- Matching outfits with your mother. CLASSY.
- Matching tattoos with your mother located on your lower back. UNCLASSY. I just don't want to hear about them or see them.

The Kardashians certainly know how to do it in style!

- Sexy sleuths like Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law in Sherlock Holmes. CLASSY.
- Sleuthing around behind your friend's/significant other's backs. UNCLASSY.

There is absolutely no way you can't love these two.

- Fashionable leaders of countries (including their wives). CLASSY.
- (fashionable?) dictators of countries like Kim Jong-Il. UNCLASSY. but apparently someone out there finds his fashion entertaining enough to make a inspiration board. "He's all about minimalism".

Michelle Obama, Jackie Kennedy, Princess Di... all politics aside, you gotta admit, these ladies are classy.

1. Kim’s glasses brand remains a mystery (see, he is a hipster!), but we found these Urban aviators that will do the trick. [$10, Urban Outfitters] 2. Channel Kimmy’s starch crisp military jacket with a classy Burberry windbreaker. [$440, FarFetch.com]

What do you think?

Ballet Flat style Crocs. Classy? Unclassy?

I must admit, they sure look comfy!!
