Iconic Designer Passes Away at 78!


It is with such a heavy heart that I must announce the passing of designer Vince Camuto. He was 78. Jessica Simpson seemingly broke the news on her Instagram with a photo of herself and Camuto.

"Thank you, Vince, for the humble power that has taken me everywhere. You are my mentor, my family, the creator of all my dreams. I will forever walk in your shoes...you made them. #brokenheart"- Jessica Simpson

Camuto, who passed away from cancer, started the Nine West Group Inc. and went onto acquire major shoe licenses. Some notable ones are BCBG, Tory Burch, Lucky Brand and Jessica Simpson. His brand is said to be worth about a billion dollars. I have been a fan of his shoes since I started Three Ice Cubes in 2011 as well as his perfume, Vince Camuto. He has an amazing jewelry line which can be found at Macy's stores. My mother, not a perfume wearer but more into cologne, actually lives in his scent. His designs were always classy yet charming and sophisticated but playful. To say good-bye to him is to say good-bye to an icon that is gone way too soon. There is no way to express my sadness as a fan for this loss! We wish his family, friends and all who loved him that absolute best and send them our heartfelt condolences.

She continued to pursue her passion, have three kids, develop a wildly successful podcast, and work on clothing and accessories.  But, when you are in the public eye, boasting 541K followers on Instagram , almost everything you do is up for scrutiny. Fans (and haters) began to notice a lack of presence when it came to her husband, Corey and questioned if their marriage was okay. There is an abundance of photos of daughters, Skylar and

'The Real L Word' Cast- Where Are They Now?

  photo courtesy of amazon.com With the return of the hit Showtime series, 'The L Word,' it makes fans of the original show and ultimate reality spinoff, 'The Real L Word,' quite nostalgic. Actors can keep acting but reality stars can drift off into the clouds after their 15 minutes of fame are over. TRLW lasted three seasons with a revolving door of lesbians who soon became like friends and family. Initially based in California, the show followed the lives of a handful of gay women, somehow intertwined in life, and what it was like to date, fall in love, have sex, try to make babies, propose, be successful, and so much more. By the final season, the series went bi-coastal, utilizing NYC as a playground, as well. The show ended in 2012 with two weddings and a lot of tears. So, where are they now?
