Celebrities respond to D&G

In recent news I mentioned the upset caused by comments made by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana regarding gay marriage and kids born through IVF (inVitro Fertalization). Below are some comments found on Twitter and InstaGram from Ricky Martin, Victoria Beckham, Madonna, Courtney Love, Al Roker and D&G themselves. 

Madonna herself, who has used D&G several times for her music tours, has been their muse a few times for their collections and has been their model as recent as Fall/Winter 2010 had this to say about the comments made by the "dynamic duo":

Buhbye Target

Target Canada will be closing all of their locations starting as soon as March 18th. Most of the stores are located in Ontario with 3 in Alberta, 2 in BC and Quebec and one in Manitoba. This closure will result in 17,000 jobs lost. Target opened in Canada back in 2013 and the corporation said that it will take at least another 2-3 years to turn a profit. 

It's really difficult for US companies to come to Canada and think they can turn a profit quickly, especially a corporation like Target.  Wal Mart has been in Canada since the mid 90's and Canadians are loyal to them and it would take a lot for Canadians to jump ship over to Target. 

In my personal opinion, Target opened too many stores too quickly in Ontario. Marshall's came and they are doing really well and still opening stores throughout Canada. 

Elton John-vs-D&G

Dolce & Gabbana did an interview with Italian magazine Panorama and it was made public last week. In it, the former couple says they are against gay marriage and that children born through IVF are "synthetic". Elton John who is also gay and is married to David Furnish and have two children through IVF posted this on his Instagram page today:

This has caused an uproar on social media between people that agree and disagree with either EJ or DG using hashtag BoycottEltonJohn or BoycottDolceGabbana.

Here is a picture of Elton, David and heir boys:

It's Been A While

Hi everyone,

Sorry that I have been MIA but was having issues with my phone not letting me add pics to the blog so I would have to use my iPad or laptop. Plus I was also in Mexico for my best friends wedding. I'm back now and my phone so still having issues but what can you do, right? When life throws you lemons, keep the rind so you match it with a pair of Sperry boat shoes! 

Stay styled,

J.

P.S. We were wearing Tommy Bahamas shits, Perry Ellis linen pants and American Eagle sandals (not pictured)
