The Political Stand!




It is July 4th and I am riding the train to meet up with my loved one in BK and thats when I spot this weird but hot get up.I look over to my right and I notice a young man wearing a red, white, and blue plaid shirt. This is an obvious cliche for the holiday but his brown cowboy hat that has an Obama 08 for President pen on the side of it really blows me away. You have to give him credit because this presidential election is really touchy and sensitive, people just do not want to talk about it. The fact that he is young pulls the trigger so you know I had to go and chat with him.

I tell him his outfit is hot and ask him about the inspiration behind it. He tells me basically he dresses like this everyday and he just want people to stand up for who they are what they believe in. He ask me who I want to be president and I tell him Obama he says "well I'm voting for John Mc Cain".

My Partner in Crime!



My partner and crime Madame julissa is always around the city getting the job done. When things get rough she never complains she just look at me and say something crazy. We both will laugh and fight any obstacle that comes our way. She is such an interesting character but of course a fashionable one! Checkout her ensemble...... it is so her.

p.s. Thanx Madame J for your support!!!!

Sex and the City


I have never ever of all my 23 years witness girls going mad to see a chick flick! But of course when it comes to Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charolotte the world of the fabulous and glamorous goes wild. The Sex and the City movie is the biggest thing out for the ladies this year besides the notice of Hillary Clinton running for President!

The SATC is all about being YOU to the MAXIMUM. Ladies all around the world can relate to the women in SATC. It is about spending those countless nights and days with your girls. Rather it is shopping, crying, traveling, partying, complaning or driving each other crazy you know it is the experiences that make you closer.

This flick is an inspiration to all who watches it. It is about dreaming and believing anything and everything is possible! Most importantly doing all of it in style!

Fashion Innovations




There are many who love fashion and dream of becoming the best designer, model, editor or what ever you have it. But there are only a handful that amazingly connect with people giving them that special something that no one else could. Sharika Miller is one of those few and Madame's Mirror was able to catch up with her to find out how she does it so well.

It was not easy catching up with Ms. Miller, after all she works for Jessica Simpson's outer-wear designs,she styles and creates her own designs, and have tons of clients to maintain! Thankfully she is luvly enough to fit us in her fabulous schedule.

Ms. Miller beleives that every girl should look beautiful! "It is not about how much money you spend; it is all about finding a look that strikes!" Her inspiration comes from people she see when she is on the streets. "If I see something I like, I say thats cute but how can I make it cuter!" She goes for that sheek, casual, sexy look all in one. Trust me, all of her peices make your head do a double spin!

The reason why Ms. Miller is so fabulous is because she stays focused, creating new heights and goals. She knows how stressful things can get but she keeps going. She started sewing every since 6 years-old; making clothes for her dolls. Her aunt played a big role in her life teaching her how to sew and do hair. Ms. Miller also remembers grwoing up in Jamaica, she and her friends after school will go to the factories and pick up scraps of fabric to design clothing. Ms. Miller says, "It is important to find something you like and stick with it, you'll never know how far it will take you!"She advices everyone to follow their dreams no matter how many people put you down or how many things comes your way.
