Dynasty : Alexis and Krystle ultimate catfight

    DYNASTY will always be talked about for generations due to the big shoulder pads, big glamour hair, big jewels, fur and cavair  and yes,  its most famous CATFIGHTS! BITCHSLAPS!    Joan Collins will always been known as the world's class bitch Alexis Morrell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan  and Linda Evans always been know as the glamourous wife, Krystal Grant Carrington .  Dynasty was sure a very 80's show and never be forgotten..I live for DYNASTY and Joan Collins!
Dynasty is an American prime time television soap opera that aired on ABC from January 12, 1981 to May 11, 1989. It was created by Richard and Esther Shapiro and produced by Aaron Spelling, and revolved around the Carringtons, a wealthy oil family living in Denver, Colorado. Starring John Forsythe and Linda Evans as oil magnate Blake Carrington and his new wife Krystle, Dynasty was ABC's competitor to CBS's the powerhouse and one of the most successful televison show in history, DALLAS.

The show's ratings for the first season were unremarkable, but the second season arrival of Joan Collins as Blake's scheming first wife Alexis heralded Dynasty's rise into the Top 20,By 1984, it was a top ten show and by 1985, it was the #1 series on television. Dynasty was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best TV Drama Series every year from 1981 to 1986, winning in 1984.
Dynasty spawned a successful line of fashion and luxury products, and even a spin-off series called The Colby's. Dynasty dropped from #7 to #24 during the 1986-87 season, and was ultimately canceled in May 1989 after a nine-season run.

Madonna Human Nature [HQ] 1995


Madonna's Human Nature was what inspired to me to work with vinyl fabrics and I have enjoyed working with those fabrications of vinyl, leather and patent leather. It may be a bitch to sew, since its delicate, it always comes out perfectly!

on the cover Magazine of ROCK STAR

BeautifulMag Cover Story : Rock Star

Rockstar
EVEN THOUGH THE TERM ROCK STAR IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH A SINGER OR PLAYER IN A ROCK BAND, THERE IS ACTUALLY A MUCH BROADER MEANING TO THE WORD. IN FACT, THE TERM ROCK STAR IS NOT SELDOM APPLIED TO PEOPLE WHO STAND OUT IN MANY DIFFERENT FIELDS. MODERN DAY HEROES, TRENDSETTERS, SELF-CONFIDENT IN WHAT THEY DO AND ENLIGHTENING EXAMPLES FOR OTHERS. FRANK LOUIS, CHRISTOPHER UVENIO, RAFAELE RIVERA AND BLUE MICHAEL ARE ALL ROCK STARS IN THEIR OWN TERRITORY. SO WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY JOIN FORCES.
The handsome and talented Rafaele Rivera literally is an emerging rock star. Born in Puerto Rico, he followed dance and voice classes and his first dance single "I Need Someone" (2006) burned up many New York City dance floor. More recently Rafaele has been working with music producers Beppe Savoni/Dinamix, Worren Rigg and Daniel Bagley/RythmDB, completing tracks "Goodbye, Goodbye," "Survive," "Mi Corazon" and "Livin on a Dream" for his upcoming album under SoundGroove Records and Blaze Imprints. If you believe Rafaele has something familiar: it is very well possible you have seen him before. Rafaele has made appearances on the Iyanla talk show and had a role on daytime soap, All My Children. He has recently appeared in major motion picture films such as Sex and the City, The Day After Tomorrow, and Hitch. He is certainly one to watch and these photos prove he's got what it takes to deliver.
Fashion designer Christopher Uvenio is not a complete stranger at BeautifulMag. Already we have seen his amazing creations in a beautiful series by Joseph Sinclair [Dark Angels - The Christopher Uvenio Collection], and Christopher has a history in collaborating with Frank Louis. Christopher Unvenio can look back at 16 years of experience in both designing and illustration for several international fashion houses, such as Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Bob Mackie. Like Rafaele, Christophe’s career also involves TV and film. His creations have appeared several times in Award winning daytime drama The Bold And The Beautiful as well as in Disney film Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion.
Frank Louis has appeared many times on the digital pages of BeautifulMag, most recently with his discovery of the super hot Phil Ductan as well as the strip tease series featuring Chris Campanioni. Always first in line when it comes to trying something new, Frank was immediately intrigued when Christopher Uvenio told him he had designed something very edgy, sexy and rock star-like. Knowing this would require the hand of a master make-up artist, Frank contacted Blue Michael. Playing on the fact Christopher Uvenio carries the cross as a logo, Blue Michael found inspiration in a collection of rosary beads he has collected over the years. Together with dramatic glam make up and the creations of Christopher, it was enough for Frank Louis to shoot a series of portraits of Rafaele that radiates such a sexual rock star image, that you almost hear the music come through the image. The whole series is a perfect example of what happens when great talent comes together. The magic of creating a rock star.
