celebrating centuries

"The face you have at age 25 is the face that God gave you, but the face you have at 50 is the face you earned"
- Cindy Crawford -

Celebrating 100 followers got me thinking about what even triggered my deep infatuation for models, pretty pictures and fashion. Then I remembered Cindy Crawford in 'that' 90's Pepsi Ad...and so my obsession begun. I had that commercial taped and it was replayed constantly, I stole my mum's Cleo and stuck pictures of Crawford all around my room (much to my parents credit they said nothing about the fact that a 7 year old girl had half naked pictures of a model in her room) and I begged my mum to draw a mole on my face with black eyeliner mirroring the infamous Crawford spot.

To this day, to say that I have a crush on Crawford is putting mildly.

who is harley viera newton?

Her myspace reads: Female/97/London/New York

her face suggests she is much younger than these 97 years

Google her and the words 'it girl', DJ, musician and muse litter the page

because what 'it' girl isn't a faux musician?

Her mother is Brazilian, her father British, she was raised in LA and currently resides in NY

the classic upbringing of a socialite

She graduated high school in an Azzedine Alaïa cat suit

and so the headlines began at an early age

She juggles classes at NYU (where she studies Egyptology) with her sometimes role as bassist in the Lissy Trullie band, regular guest DJ appearances, ambassador for Christian Dior, co host of New York radio show 'Teenage Kicks" and just the general beings of an IT girl/style icon/muse.

So who is Harley Viera Newton?

the epitome of New York city style, the epitome of New York city cool.
