Title: Axl mentioned in NY Post (winning essay about Axl as a style icon) Post by: jarmo on September 04, 2007, 12:57:17 PM GUNS 'N POSES
ANSWERING THE QUESTION: WHO TOPS STYLE CHARTS? September 4, 2007 -- WHO was the most stylish rock star of all time? You might not think biker shorts and scarves are haute couture, but Monni McCleary (inset right), a Manhattan lingerie designer, makes a compelling argument that Axl Rose is a style icon. As winner of last month's essay contest, she wins two tickets to the Fashion Rocks concert, which brings Maroon 5, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and others to Radio City Music Hall on Thursday night (and will air Friday at 9 p.m. on CBS). McCleary will be driven to the show in the latest Chevrolet, and will receive a free style makeover from Fashion Rocks presenter Cond? Nast Media Group and BCBG, Revlon and Nexxus. Pick up Friday's Post to see McCleary's new look and other celebrities on the red carpet. Meanwhile, here's McCleary's top entry and some honorable mentions: AXL ROSE It was May 15, 2006, sometime past midnight, and I was at the Hammerstein Ballroom. The lights just went out, and we were all screaming with excitement and anticipation. The teaser guitar riff begins, and I hang on to it as if it was a life force. Then a bright light shines, and he screams on the top of his lungs, "YOU KNOW WHERE THE F--- YOU ARE?!?!?!?" Yes, I'm talking about Axl Rose, the biggest Rock God and style icon on this planet! The true originator of '80s rock 'n' roll, bad-boy style of the headband, aviators, ripped-up jeans, leggings, kilts, biker shorts, leather jackets, and don't forget his biggest fashion accessory ... his badass attitude! As I was doing the Axl snake dance and singing along to every song, I noticed how his look has evolved, but stayed true to his original music and style. He's definitely not a sellout. Axl also reminded me how hard true rock 'n' roll style still rocks! - Monni McCleary, Manhattan Full story: http://www.nypost.com/seven/09042007/entertainment/music/guns_n_poses.htm /jarmo Title: Re: Axl mentioned in NY Post (winning essay about Axl as a style icon) Post by: suicide on September 04, 2007, 01:04:18 PM That was the full story :hihi:

We must give credit where credit is due. A very obsessed member of this site has just won the Fashion Rocks essay contest sponsored by the NY Post for her submission of Axl Rose: A Fashion Icon. The post sponsored a contest in which you had to pick a person who is a style icon and tell why. To read the story and what was written follow this link: http://www.nypost.com/seven/09042007/entertainment/music/ guns_n_poses.htm I hope it works, if not, it was from the Post on 9/4/07. She wrote a kick-ass entry! Congratulations are due to SexKitten and her love of everything GNR! If you are reading honey, I know you will meet the man one day! Have a fantastic time and smack some asses of Maroon 5 - tell them to get a clue. Then maybe you could show them how a GNR fan parties! Rock out RCMH! Better be wearing that gnr ticket belt you made too! Congratulations!

Title: Re: Axl mentioned in NY Post (winning essay about Axl as a style icon) Post by: crazycheryl on September 07, 2007, 11:00:28 AM I know Sexkitten is probably still not up from last night. I checked out the article honey and you look rock-star awesome hot!!!!!!!!!!! Way to represent girl! Cute dress too! Do you get to keep that?
Also, if you got the time, let us know what fab rock stars you got to meet last night??????? did you meet Gwen? Love her! And buying shots for folks is the way sexkitten rolls! She is very cool and very kind! The girl parties like a rock star! And buying shots is nothin ?- we have a group of girls - yes girls - that could probably drink some dudes under the table and get up and be ready to go again the very next day. Not bragging here because it's truly a result of years of partying. I'm a good friend of sexkitten and we grew up with some wild cats. Title: Re: Axl mentioned in NY Post (winning essay about Axl as a style icon) Post by: ibelieveinaxl on September 07, 2007, 11:44:26 AM Way to go! You were great. Loved the dress and the hair....

Winning a contest with an essay about Axl would be something very special for any fan. :beer:
