Halloween is almost here and this image really captures how we over at Hotel Fashionland feel about this ghoulish tradition. Dressing up can be fun if you are subversive and have a creative approach to this very special day. Vice Magazine is giving a massive Halloween extravangaza that a few editors here have been invite to and this image really speaks to our darker inclinations. Hopefully this picture inspires you to get into the act or at the very least want to watch Trick or Treat which is currently available on DVD.

People have accused Diddy of many things but being an original has never been one of them. However, when it comes to being an “Attention Whore” Diddy is numero uno and internationally known. Only an attention whoring mogul would spend his money producing a solo CD that has him now “singing” over familiar rap beats. We gave this “artistic” vampire a pass when Biggie died but his pass has been revoked…..years ago. Diddy’s more recent media whoring can be observed almost as soon as he arrived in Rio de Janeiro when he tried to “hide his identity when he came off his flight dressed in his traditional black sweat suit and matching Croc’s. But his whorish behavior on the Fasano Hotel balcony really speaks for itself. The ego has landed. Only in Fashionland kids.
