• All I can say is: Yes! Beyoncé has filmed a music video for her bonus track, Dance for You (which we can all agree should have been included in the main tracklist for 4.)
The video will be included on her concert DVD, “Live at Roseland: Elements of 4.” Catch the teaser over at Hello Beautiful. (Hello Beautiful)
• To coerce people into buying their boring plaids, Abercrombie and Fitch and Hollisters across America will open at midnight on Black Friday, with hundreds of shirtless guys filling their stores. Not gonna lie, that might be enough to even get me out of bed! (Racked)
• Need to add some moisture to your winter locks? Win a Huetiful Hair Steamer over at Hello Beautiful. (Hello Beautiful)
• Daphne Guinness, queen of the avant garde, has teamed up with M.A.C cosmetics for a special edition capsule collection. While many of the colors are quite wearable, I admit to being a little underwhelmed at how neutral everything is. I expected something a little more unique and exciting from the woman who has a computer database for all the couture pieces in her personal wardrobe. (Fashionista)
• Alexander McQueen‘s still-expensive diffusion line, McQ is set to show at London Fashion Week this February for the first time. The runway show will take place in celebration of the new McQ standalone store opening up in London’s Mayfair. (WWD)
• Karl Lagerfeld is guest editing an issue of the free newspaper, Metro International, just in time for Fashion Month. Writer Kenya Hunt says, “The issue will look at the world through Karl’s eyes and among many other things, include a series of guest columns and collectible sketches.” It will be interesting to see what Uncle Karl comes up with. (Kenya’s Style)
• Don’t you love news of more fashion exhibitions? Azzedine Alaïa is the latest designer to have his work displayed (albeit for the second time) in the Groninger Museum in The Netherlands, entitled “Alaïa in the 21st Century.” The exhibit will feature some of the designer’s most iconic pieces from this century, including this a-ma-zing jacket decorated with a full crocodile skin. Need it. Love it. Who wants to buy it for me? (Hint)

November 23, 2011 11:15 am

November 23, 2011 11:19 am
KittyB Okay! Those look like a ton of college ass boys who can’t keep their room clean O_o not on drop of chocolate is right. I don’t shop there so i don’t be missing a thing haha.
November 23, 2011 11:53 am
@Kitty B. I thought the same thing, but upon closer inspection, I see two chocolate chips!
November 23, 2011 2:20 pm
I see some chocolate in the 2nd row and 3rd to last row. ha!

Granted, there’s not that many black guys in the photo for Abercrombie, but you ladies must not be looking that well to not even see a single black guy. I counted 4. Maybe 5.
November 23, 2011 4:54 pm
I counted 4 Black guys in the A&F ad! YAY me!
November 23, 2011 6:44 pm
Hey Jihan, nice post!
But the last is actually Groninger Museum. I’m Dutch but I didn’t even know this was showing. I might even check it out!

Let me tell you something, ladies. If you’re in NYC, go to hollister 5th ave. one of the chocolate brothas pictured (in the story on Racked… he’s in the very front) will most likely be there and his body is in.sane! I literally have never seen abs like that in my life. I know because used to work at there as a stylist, and I used to dress all those guys. So… yeah. go see those abs in person you have to see them to believe them. And he’s got a cute little Jamaican accent.
You’re welcome.
November 24, 2011 2:09 am
Black guys??…Urghh…I LOVE CREAM IN MY COFFEE!!…Why run to A&F…When I have a shirtless blonde hair hunk in my bed every night!..LOL (SCREAMS)

Beyonce wore the same exact jacket in her “4″ album artwork

i’ve seen the entire video for dance for you. i was underwhelmed. it reminded me of cater to you and ego.
shirtless men were not enough to get me into a hollister or A&F store for Black Friday. I went where the electronics were! Copped a new tv for my mom & step dad for $188! Merry Early Christmas to them! LOL
Interested in seeing the McQ fashion show. I wonder how much it will be similar or different from the McQueen fashion shows.

I agree on the MAC comments most of the recent collections as of late have benn very disappointing. I just knew the Miss Piggy one wouldve had tons of lashes, blushes and glosses, but it didn’t. They’re discontinuing some of there best selling items idk wtf is going over at MAC…new leadership perhaps?
