Beyond her many hits and iconic fashion statements in lace, corsets, and latex, we also know Madonna for the many times she has channeled Marilyn Monroe. The 63-year-old diva is doing so again across pictures on the cover and inside the latest issue of V Magazine for her “Madonna Forever” piece. And while Miss Madge and photographer …
Last week Kylie Jenner stepped out in West Hollywood in a skin tight latex dress.

No longer is social media and the net being influenced or reporting on culture, the reverse now exists, where apps and the social networking are influencing and driving fashion and style, so much so that whole new business are sprouting up from a Grindr or a Kim Kardashian West looking for bloggers (a job no one had before the net) for her beauty app.

Little did we know until we saw the pictures this week that the living doll to be used here was none other than Kylie Jenner and that the pictures would turn out as wonderful as they did…with so much of our stuff used!
