Much Respect MCA

May 4, 2012 Superstylin*™

As I type this my Facebook and Twitter feeds are blowing up about the passing of Adam Yauch/MCA/Nathaniel Hornblower. My morning has been filled with watching old Beastie Boys clips on YouTube. (Check out the gem I unearthed from House of Style circa 1992. I am curious as to where my X-Girl shirts are that I bought on Telegraph in Berkeley...)

The first memories I have of the Beastie Boys are from junior high. My Licensed to Ill cassette got a lot of play. MCA, Ad-Rock and Mike D not only provided the soundtrack for my (and many others) high school and college years, they also influenced musical tastes and sartorial choices. Concerts with friends to see the trio were a guaranteed good time. Today we lost one of the three but Adam Yauch will never be forgotten. RIP MCA.

The official statement from Mike D and Ad-Rock can be found here.

Superstylin* Tip: Track 15 from Paul's Boutique is one of my favorite tracks to play on a jukebox at a bar. Trust.

Superstylin* Sartorial Spin: Absolutely Fabulous

December 22, 2011 Superstylin*™

Oh happy day! The long-awaited return of Absolutely Fabulous is almost here. On Sunday January 8th, the first of the AbFab 20th Anniversary Specials premieres on BBC America.The debaucherous duo of Patsy and Edina are back on the scene and the screen. High fashion HIGHlarity is sure to ensue.

The previous seasons of the series provide an archive of clothing dating back to 1992. Edina paraded around in the likes of Moschino, Vivienne Westwood, Burberry and Christian Lacroix. Patsy always fancied a good Chanel power suit. Fast forward twenty years... Many collections have come down the runways since we last saw Pats and Eddy. Today's Superstylin* Sartorial Spin places the Bolli and Stoli ladies in current collections by their favorite designers while trying some new ones on for size.

Top (L-R) Moschino, Burberry Prorsum, Vivienne Westwood Red Label, Mary Katrantzou, Alexander Wang, Y-3
Bottom (L-R) Chanel, Yigal Azrouel, Balmain, Temperley London, Altuzarra, Felder Felder

Edina embraces every fashion fad with fervor. Layers, volume, bold colors and notice-me prints are part of her signature eclectic style. As much as Ms. Moonsoon tried to make fitness her own personal health trend, it never really caught on but she always dressed the part in sporty streetwear. Patsy has a penchant for longer sleeker silhouettes and a more neutral color palette. Ms. Stone is often seen vamping it up in body conscious dresses as well.

The icing on the cake sweetie darlings: a New Year's Day marathon of every single AbFab episode for your viewing pleasure whether you are still ringing in 2012 or wrecked and recovering. Having watched every episode countless times since the 90s, I will definitely be swilling bubbly in honor. *More champagne for Lulu!*
