Saludos querid@s hivers fashionistas, lleg贸 el momento del glamour m谩s exc茅ntrico que puede haber, y me encanta derrochar este tipo de glamour cuando se trata de llamar la atenci贸n para contribuir con una buena causa.
Greetings dear hivers fashionistas, it's time for the most eccentric glamour there can be, and I love to splurge on this kind of glamour when it comes to drawing attention to contribute to a good cause.
Lo que disfrutaran a continuaci贸n es mi participaci贸n en el segundo reto de Hive's Top Model Tema Glamour, 驴recuerdan mi participaci贸n en el reto anterior? all铆 les contaba que me estaba preparando para arreglarme para una gala muy especial.
What you will enjoy below is my participation in the second challenge of Hive's Top Model Theme Glamour, remember my participation in the previous challenge where I told you that I was getting ready to get ready for a very special gala.
Pues les cuento que 馃槈 fui invitada a participar en la MET Gala, la ic贸nica gala ben茅fica que los m谩s impresionantes creadores de la moda realizan cada a帽o en el Museo Metropolitano de Arte de New York y no solo ser茅 una invitada com煤n y corriente como las dem谩s celebridades que van a asistir (seg煤n mi historia de fantas铆a en la que me inspir茅 para crear mi propuesta), sino que tambi茅n estoy invitada a presentarme en el escenario porque yo soy una estrella de rock, qu茅 emoci贸n tan grande, el a帽o pasado se present贸 Lenny Kravitz y este a帽o me presentar茅 yo.
Well, this story continues right at this moment in which I tell you that 馃槈 I was invited to participate in the MET Gala, the iconic charity gala that the most impressive creators of fashion perform every year at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and not only will I be an ordinary guest like the other celebrities who are going to attend (according to my fantasy story in which I was inspired to create my proposal), but I am also invited to perform on stage because I am a rock star, what a thrill, last year Lenny Kravitz performed and this year I will be performing.
Espero que disfruten mi participaci贸n y no se pierdan los detalles desde el momento de mi entrada triunfal a la red carpet del MET, y luego mi aparici贸n en el escenario, una estrella de rock en su momento de gala y en su momento glam rock, un maquillaje dos momentos.
I hope you enjoy my participation and don't miss the details from the moment of my triumphant entrance to the MET red carpet, and then my appearance on stage, a rock star in her gala moment and her glam rock moment, one makeup two moments.
Me arriesgu茅 a participar con dos Outfits diferentes porque la propuesta de mi historia lo amerita.Fue una aventura arriesgada crear este concepto.
I took a risk to participate in two different outfits because the proposal of my story deserves it.
It was also a risky adventure to create this concept.
One Social Glam Makeup and two moments
Para efectos pr谩cticos y para que pareciera que realmente los hechos ocurrieron en una l铆nea de tiempo, escogimos un maquillaje para ser utilizado en la entrada a la gran Gala MET, por lo que deb铆a ser Social Glam pero bastante extravagante como para ser emblem谩tico para una presentaci贸n de una rockera en el escenario.
For practical purposes and to make it look like the events happened in one timeline, we chose a makeup look to be used at the entrance to the big MET Gala, so it had to be Social Glam but extravagant enough to be emblematic of a rocker's on-stage performance.
La inspiraci贸n de la MET Gala 2023 es un tributo a Karl Legerfeld as铆 que mi maquilladora Mar铆a de los 脕ngeles Camargo MakeUp By Mar, mi gran aliada en todo este concurso, decidi贸 que este maquillaje tuviera colores oscuros y se viera muy extravante y elegante a la vez. Yo estoy muy feliz con lo que logr贸, su t茅cnica me gusta mucho y el efecto entre los colores utilizados y el brillo me complaci贸 muchisimo y estoy muy agradecida con ella.
The inspiration for the MET Gala 2023 is a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld so my makeup artist Maria de los Angeles Camargo MakeUp By Mar, my great ally in this whole contest, decided that this makeup should have dark colors and look very extravagant and elegant at the same time. I am very happy with what she achieved, I really like her technique and the effect between the colors used and the shimmer was very pleasing to me and I am very grateful to her.
Esa misma inspiraci贸n en Karl Lagerfeld me llev贸 a decidirme de entre tantas opciones que ten铆a disponibles, por este vestido de color azul noche y bordado dorado, buscando identificarlo un poco con un bustier de color oscuro que era una pieza que a este dise帽ador le gustaba crear, as铆 mismo, adem谩s del bordado dorado, el corte del vestido, los pliegues y las ondas que tienen y esa especie de cintur贸n que lo adorna, son elementos que me parece maravilloso poder verlos todos juntos en un vestido tan peque帽o y de una tela tan ligera.
That same inspiration in Karl Lagerfeld led me to decide among so many options that I had available, for this navy color dress with gold embroidery, looking to identify it a little with a dark color bustier that was a piece that this designer liked to create, likewise, in addition to the gold embroidery, the cut of the dress, the pleats and waves that have and that kind of belt that adorns it, are elements that I find wonderful to see them all together in a dress so small and of such a light fabric.
Por cierto, ya que hablamos de la ligereza de su tela, otro punto por el cual el vestido me pareci贸 tan apropiado es porque la Princesa Diana en la MET Gala de 1996 lleg贸 vestida de Jhon Galiano con un vestido de ese color y una tela de la misma ca铆da.
By the way, since we are talking about the lightness of its fabric, another point why the dress seemed so appropriate to me is because just Princess Diana at the MET Gala in 1996 came dressed by John Galiano with a dress of that color and a fabric of the same fall.
Los zapatos que escog铆 para combinarlo son dorados y me pareci贸 que su estilo le dar铆a un poco de delicadeza al outfit, que siento, que es un outfit fuerte para impresionar, estos zapatos me los regal贸 una amiga que es mi asesora de imagen, es una excelente profesional en este 谩mbito, les he hablado de ella Ari Tabares.
The shoes I chose to combine are gold and I thought that their style would give a little delicacy to the outfit, which I feel is a strong outfit to impress, these shoes were given to me by a friend who is my image consultant because she is my friend, she practices with me and at the same time she is an excellent professional in this field, I have told you about her Ari Tabares.
Y es importante que mencione a Ari porque los zarcillos que estoy utilizando son su creaci贸n y son perfectos porque son nada m谩s y nada menos que unos zarcillos de plumas azul oscuro con dorado, 隆驴qu茅 m谩s puedo pedir a la vida?!, un complemento muy especial, las plumas me hablan de glamour en exceso, estos zarcillos los compr茅 a mi amiga hace casi dos a帽os y los he usado poco y ahora se volvieron protagonistas.
And it is important that I mention Ari because the earrings I am using are her creation and they are perfect because they are nothing more and nothing less than dark blue feather earrings with gold, what more can I ask for in life, a very special accessory, feathers speak to me of glamor in excess, I bought these earrings from my friend almost two years ago and I have used them little and now they became protagonists.
Al igual que el collar, que encontr茅 entre los accesorios que menos uso en mi vida, debe tener conmigo casi 10 a帽os, lo realiz贸 una artesana de San Pedro de Los Altos llamada Deborah que es amiga de mi mam谩 y tiene ese cuero tan rockero, la flor dorada que parece que la hubiera mandado a hacer para el vestido y esas piedras negras con azul oscuro que son una delicia. Pude haber buscado otro collar mas elegante, que por cierto era muy importante un collar en ese gran escote, pero este sencillo collar pareciera haber sido creado para el vestido, y nada mas lejos de eso.
Just like the necklace, which I found among the accessories I use the least in my life, it must be almost 10 years old, it was made by an artisan from San Pedro de Los Altos called Deborah who is a friend of my mom's and has that rocker leather, the golden flower that looks like she had it made for the dress and those black stones with dark blue that are a delight. I could have looked for another more elegant necklace, which by the way was very important a necklace in that great neckline, but this simple necklace seems to have been created for the dress, and nothing further from that.
Y ahora el dato m谩s curioso sobre este vestido, no me van a creer. Este vestido se lo compr贸 mi abuela a mi mam谩 en Tropicana (los m谩s j贸venes no van a saber de qu茅 estoy hablando, pero Tropicana era una marca de moda venezolana que hac铆a desfiles todas las semanas en televisi贸n) y eso fue m谩s o menos entre 1991 y 1992. 驴D铆ganme si no es fascinante?, hace unos 5 a帽os yo me encontr茅 este vestido en cosas guardadas de nuestra casa de la infancia y lo agarr茅 para m铆, pero me quedaba grande y el vestido se me meti贸 entre ceja y ceja en la planificaci贸n de este reto y le lleg贸 su momento.
And now the most curious fact about this dress, you won't believe me. My grandmother bought this dress for my mom at Tropicana (the younger ones won't know what I'm talking about, but it was a Venezuelan fashion brand that did fashion shows every week on TV) and that was more or less between 1991 and 1992. Tell me if it's not fascinating, about 5 years ago I found this dress in our childhood home and I grabbed it for myself, but it was too big for me and the dress got between my eyebrows in the planning of this challenge and it's time has come.
Ahora bien, una vez que desfil茅 por la alfombra roja y pos茅 para todos los fotografos lleg贸 el momento de mi espect谩culo, pero como es costumbre y bien sabr谩n si les gusta el mundo de la moda y las galas, las estrellas nos presentamos en el escenario con otro atuendo, por supuesto igual de glamouroso.
Now, once I have paraded down the red carpet and posed for all the photographers and paparazzi it was time for my show, but as is customary and well you will know if you like the world of fashion and galas, the stars we presented ourselves on stage with another outfit, of course just as glamorous.
Mi presentaci贸n fue pisando fuerte con unos fabulosos zapatos negros de plataforma integrada y tac贸n stiletto, est谩n hechos de una piel estilo gamuza, pero m谩s brillante y tienen un corte muy interesante, siempre he usado estos zapatos con pantalones, nunca con falda y hasta ahora no me hab铆a parecido unos zapatos rockeros, pero los escog铆 porque son fuertes y le dan una presencia muy elegante a este outfit.
My presentation was stomping with some fabulous black shoes with an integrated platform and stiletto heel, they are made of a suede style leather, but shinier and have a very interesting cut, I have always used these shoes with pants, never with a skirt and so far I had not found them rock shoes, but I chose them because they are strong and give a very elegant presence to this outfit.
Estos zapatos los compr茅 a mi amiga Carmen, eran de ella y por un problema anat贸mico no pudo utilizar m谩s tacones, y ahora que nombro a Carmen, ella es mi amiga dise帽adora que tiene su marca Yekuana que fue quien hizo el vestido de la pasarela del reto naturaleza y vida y tambi茅n es la dise帽adora que hizo el top negro con el que me presente en mi espect谩culo de rock, pero debo decirles un secreto en relaci贸n con este top.
These shoes were sold to me by my friend Carmen, they were hers and because of an anatomical problem she could not use heels anymore, and now that I mention Carmen, she is my designer friend who has her brand [Yekuana](https: //www. instagram.com/yekuana_disenos/) who was the one who made the dress for the nature and life challenge runway and she is also the designer who made the black top that I showed up with in my rock show, but I must tell you a secret regarding this top.
Resulta que este top negro en realidad no es un top, lo que ven es un vestido tipo tubo, pero yo decid铆 usarlo (convirtiendo una cosa en otra) por dentro de "LA FALDA ANIMAL PRINT", esta falda por si sola es una gran protagonista, tiene un corte impecable, la tela es supergruesa de una textura que parece de traje de buzo, tiene una gran presencia y me resalta mucho la figura, por eso la escog铆.
It turns out that this black top is not a top, what you see is a very beautiful and elegant tube dress, but I decided to use it (turning one thing into another) as a top inside "THE ANIMAL PRINT SKIRT", this skirt by itself is a great protagonist, it has an impeccable cut, the fabric is super thick with a texture that looks like a jumpsuit, it has a great presence and it highlights my figure a lot.
Est谩 falda tiene un corte glamouroso con un print muy glam rock y esta la compr茅 a Ari Tabares que hizo una venta de su ropa que ya no usar铆a mas, yo no estaba segura de quedarme con la falda pero ella me convenci贸, por cierto, cuando vendi贸 su ropa le supliqu茅 que yo fuera una de sus primeras clientas, y as铆 fu茅 pero me gan贸 mi hermana quien compr贸 primero.
That's why I chose it because it has a glamorous cut with a very glam rock print and I bought it from Ari Tabares who made a sale of her clothes that she would not wear anymore, I was not sure to keep the skirt but she convinced me, by the way, when she sold her clothes I begged her to be one of her first customers, and so it was but my sister won me who bought first.
Mi hermana Anya (esposa de @antonyjimenezve) es muy importante es esta historia porque ella es la verdadera rockera de esta familia, la idea de usar la falda animal print fue de ella y la felicito y le agradezco por eso, adem谩s ella me prest贸 todos sus accesorios de rockera verdadera (a mi me gusta el rock pero ella me gana) collar, cintillo de puas, pulsera, esas mallas para los brazos, todos estos accesorios forman parte de los atuendos que ella utiliza para ir a los conciertos de su esposo que si es un verdadero rock star. Ah! y tambi茅n hay dos pulseras de puas que me las prest贸 el tecladista de la banda de rock de mi hijo.
My sister Anya (
@antonyjimenezve's wife) is very important in this story because she is the real rocker of this family, the idea of using the animal print skirt was hers and I congratulate her and thank her for that, She also lent me all her real rocker accessories (I like rock but she beats me) necklace, spiked headband, bracelet, those arm tights, all these accessories are part of the outfits she wears to go to the concerts of her husband who is a real rock star. Oh, and there are also two spiked bracelets that I borrowed from the keyboardist of my son's rock band.
Hay un punto aparte en estos accesorios, los zarcillos plateados con brillantes tipo zircones incrustados tienen forma de cruz y a la vez argollas, creo que son los accesorios mas rockeros que he tenido en mi vida, tienen ese brillo glam que hacia falta.
There is a separate point in these accessories, the silver earrings with brilliant encrusted zircons are shaped like a cross and at the same time rings, I think they are the most rocker accessories I've ever had in my life, they have that glam glitter that is needed.
Para estar lista para mi show me alborot茅 bastante el cabello para que tomara mas cuerpo (eso no funcion贸), y me puse un cintillo de puas.
To be ready for my show I tousled my hair to get more body (that didn't work), And I put on a headband of spikes.
Y la guinda del pastel de mi atuendo fue la guitarra electrica Monster de @antonyjimenezve que cuid茅 como mi vida, esta guitarra es hermosa, tiene un dise帽o que no es f谩cil de encontrar por ah铆, as铆 que al ser tan excentrica me pareci贸 ideal para que complementara la escena y ador茅 como me ayud贸 a sentirme mas c贸moda a pesar de su gran peso para esta parte de la sesi贸n de fotograf铆as.
And the icing on the cake of my outfit was the Monstlifeer electric guitar from
@antonyjimenezve that I took care of like my , this guitar is beautiful, it has a design that is not easy to find out there, so being so eccentric it seemed ideal to complement the scene and I loved how it helped me feel more comfortable despite its great weight for this part of the photo shoot.
C贸mo pudieron leer me han apoyado varias personas en mi participaci贸n en Hive's Red Carpet y ahora se sum贸 para tomarme las fotograf铆as el fotografo Roldan Rosero de Yakary Fotograf铆a que es un fot贸grafo al que admiro y respeto mucho y su esposa, mi amiga Yamila Bonilla quien fu茅 su asistente en la sesi贸n.
