Never Is the Next New Thing

Best Use of a Previously Worn Wedding Dress

Rapper Nas posed with his ex-wife Kelis’s green wedding gown on the cover of his new album.

Gotta love a fashion statement like that.

Nas and Kelis "in happier days," as the gossip rags say. Click for photo source.

While I’m amused by Nas’s recycling of the gown, I’m on Team Kelis, as far as music goes. She has a lot of good songs, but I think this is my favorite … because I’m bossy!

I miss the rainbow ‘fro Kelis had when she released her first album in 1999.

I had some fun with my own hair color yesterday, when superstar hairstylist Julie Matos spray-painted it silver and gold. Here’s a peek.

From my Instagram.

You’ll see more photos of it soon!

  1. You are too much. One minute you’re eating sunny side up eggs like a regular person and the next minute you’re fashion fast forward spray painting your hair silver and gold! I bet your new hair do looks great with your jewelry.

  2. Can’t wait to see more pics of your hair!

    I donated both of my wedding dresses (reception/ceremony) to a local theater. My cupcake dress was worn in a production of Cinderella!

  3. What did you do with Liza Minelli? Seriously, you’ve got such a beautiful face you’d suit any hairstyle, but I really can’t wait to see more of this one!

  4. Silver and gold hair? That’s wonderful! I see from your above comment that the colour has gone already, but there’s always next time…

  6. Were you channelling Edie for your silver and gold hair? Because that would be an awesome Halloween costume!

    Actually, it would be just awesome for everyday, period.

  7. Kelis’ hair matches her dress!

    Is Nas sitting there wondering if he’d look better in that dress than Kelis?

  8. I really like the Silver and Gold on your hair. I did with gold glitter and hsirspray about 20 years ago when my hair was dark burgandy. Looking forward to more pics.
