- Poor Marc Jacobs. First the world calls him crazy, now he's caught up in a bribery scandal. Turns out that the superintendent of NYC's 69th Regiment Armory, where Jacobs' shows are held each season, demanded little cash prezzies upwards of $30,000 from Marc et al in order for him to grant them permission to show there. KCD, the PR firm that handles Marc Jacobs, is allegedly responsible for making the pay-offs. [WWD]
- Meanwhile, Marc has invited K-Fed to sit front row at his show tomorrow night! [WWD, 2nd item]
- Happy Birthday, Horrible Hagyness. [WWD, 5th item]
- Fashion Week is bad for Chloe Sevigny's self-esteem, "Fashion week makes me feel very self-critical. Like I'm not wearing the right thing or looking the right way. It's stressful." [WWD, 9th item]
- Samsonite creative director Quentin Mackay on why the company has tapped Chloe to collaborate on the design for the company's Black Label collection: "She has that vintage attitude. Her films are always off-the-cuff so it fits perfectly with the vintage modern feel. Design is always one step backwards, two steps forward." We think he meant that as a compliment, and yet... [Fashion Week Daily]
- What do male models do when they're no longer male models? Why, they do quickie sketches of fashion shows, of course. Former model Blue Logan (and yes, we keep reading that as Blue Lagoon, too) sits in the front row and draws the crowds and as many of the looks as he can while the show goes on. Also, he owns a night club. [Vogue UK]
- Ooh Amy Adams on the March cover of ELLE: Love. [Fashion Week Daily]
- Actress Lindsay Price on why she loves Cosmo: "My parents never taught us about the birds and the bees. They sat us down to watch Blue Lagoon and assumed that would be how we learned about sex, but Cosmo came to the rescue." [Fashion Week Daily]
- "I don't know anything cool that's going on!": Julia Restoin Roitfeld. [Fashion Week Daily]
- Seriously, how is "Would you change your style for a man?" even a legit question to ask? [FabSugar]
- Mazel Tov to Tommy Hilfiger on his engagement to girlfriend Dee Ocleppo. [Page Six]
- Also to Alex von Furstenberg (son of Diane), who is engaged to firmly-legal girlfriend Ali Kay. [Page Six]
- Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova will be starring in the live-action movie of G.I. Joe. [Page Six]
- First John Deere made tractors, now it's making jeans. [BrandWeek]
- What a shocker: Children's sweatshirts made in China have been shown to have a defective pullstring that has been known to strangle children. [UPI]
- Nicole Kidman's bathing suit: Now feeding entire impoverished villages. [NYT]

When's Crappy Hour?
So you're telling us, in short, that Lindsay Price is a lame, cliched, desperate woman in bed?
It seems so obvious now: Marc Jacobs wants to BE Britney Spears.
Welcome to the club, Chloe. You know it's Fashion Week when you find yourself in the midst of a gaggle of 6ft tall Estonian teenagers in Whole Foods.
Does Blue Logan do Blue Steel?
Great job, Karolina! Models always do great in action movies. Like what Taxi did for Gisele Bündchen! Or Fair Game did for Cindy Crawford!
The more I hear about the Sugar-network, the more I dislike them.
@leMaldeTete: Fab epiphany! Truly brill.
I don't know what to laugh at harder, a live-action movie of G.I. Joe, or Karolina Kurkova in a live-action movie of G.I. Joe. Did she learn nothing from "Fair Game"?
"What a shocker: Children's sweatshirts made in China have been shown to have a defective pullstring that has been known to strangle children."
I see a sweatshirt with a drawstring that comes alive at night. Aaaah, zombie clothing!
Too much caffeine.
@hortense: But she knows 25 Hot New Ways to Please a Man!
I thought Ag Hag's birthday was February 16th. That's what her Wikipedia says, anyway. Of course, it also says she's 24 and doesn't she tell everyone she's 21?
Speaking of models, I'm not sure what to make of that "Make me a Supermodel" show that came on after Runway last night. (PR, I believe is another post entirely, right?) I just didn't feel it was working as well as PR does. Maybe it was the house, which feels Real Worldy. Maybe it's the format. There were some interesting parts, but maybe I'm the only one who thinks watching designers put together outfits is more compelling than having naked people pose for 10 minutes while holding baseball bats and such (at least if the nudity is blurred out, ha). And there's a straight male former prison guard from Nashville there? And the people back home don't supprt him, except his wife? Imagine that! He better make it as a model, because I'm not sure if he can go back to prison-guarding.
Plus, I hate the way they eliminate people. I think a show with actual models, like our own Tatiana, would be much more interesting. I'd totally watch that. Or is there already a show out there about that?
@hellonos: Hell, that's what it's like for me every day, and the only thing I have to contend with are two blonde bitches who snark about my shoes.
It sucks that they released the Marc info the way he did, cause it makes it seem like hes going around bribing people when he's not at all, it was the dude in charge of the armory doing the bribes or whatever.
Also Chloe Sevigny: give me a fucking break. k, thnx.
@DorothyZbornak: #12: Wear your "naughty" underpants! Or no underpants at all! He'll never see that coming!!!!
Is it weird that Lindsey Price in part learned about sex from Blue Lagoon? Staring her now co-star Brooke Shields? Also, Blue Lagoon is the worst film for a sex-ed education. She doesn't even know she's preggers until the baby pops out!
awww if chloe and slut machine get insecure at these events, i definitely should stay away.
I re-watched the Blue Lagoon the other night, and I was appalled that I had forgottn just how full of bullshit it is.
Example: 1) Girl gets pregnant and doesn't want to do the sex anymore. When we ALL know pregnant ladies get horny like a mofo. 2) Girl is pregnant and eating a lot. Boy catches her eating and warns her against getting fat. UM, but when you live on a deserted island and don't even know about menstruation, you shouldn't be aware of society's preoccupation with weight. AND, when you live on a deserted island, you don't begrudge someone eating. That whole "survival" thing & all. STAB!
@hortense: #20: Get on top. Men love it when you do something other than missionary!
Now, I would argue that Marc's blue hair IS as bad as a bribery scandal. His madcap wackiness is so tiresome.
I think Kevin Federline is hot (ssshhh don't tell anyone!). He needs to stop trying to rap/sing/act and just model. Actually, he was okay on One Tree Hill, but I think anyone looks good acting opposite Hillary Burton.
@DorothyZbornak: #17: Be confident! But only after you wax, pluck, perfume, lose 30 pounds, bleach your hair, and buy $300 lingerie!
@J.D.Regent: but chloe's totally fishing for compliments! guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack
@blondegrlz: Blue Logan INVENTED Blue Steel.
@hortense: #11: Be one of the boys. Pretending to love sports when you'd rather stab yourself in the eye than watch baseball is the best way to get your man hot for you.
@howdybeep: Do you work in fashion?
Funny thing though: I looked over at the Sushi counter and saw Cintia Dicker buying brown rice sushi. I was then, inexplicably, compelled to ALSO buy brown rice sushi. Which is astounding because brown rice sushi is ass. Damn models.
@DorothyZbornak: #6: Promise to do his laundry and make him breakfast the next day. Nothing turns a man on like a completely subserviant woman!
@hellonos: hahahaha.
@hortense: #12 Try really hard, but not too hard. You want to look really hot, but not like you spent hours in front of the mirror. But you should. And also buy this $200 face cream or you'll turn into a hideous ogre who'll never find a man. And everyone hates single people. Throw things at them!
@hortense: Don't forget bleaching your bunghole
@cuteasabutton: bUNGhole! heh heh heh bUNGhole! heh heh heh
HER NAME IS NOT AGYNESS, IT'S LAURA HOLLINS!
RE sevigny: God, I thought I was the only one! Fashion week comes around and all of a sudden, everything I own is wrong and ugly.
@Bryanboy: give it a rest, marilyn manson's real name is brian warner and no one freaks out over it.
@BiscuitDoughJones: I'm sure that "guy worried about girl getting fat" is genetic. :)
@Bryanboy: It drives me crazy, too, mostly because of the spelling. If she wanted to be "Agnes Dean," I don't think I'd care.
@blondegrlz: Well you know LA is going through a shortage of actresses, right? So they need to bring in zee muhdels.
* I kid, I kid.
@JessaFields: How the hell do you pronounce that self-given moniker of hers anyhow?
@hortense: Thank you! When did Cosmo become the tome from which to learn the birds and the bees?
btw, love the vintage Samsonite luggage. I've been wanting an old-fashioned luggage bag for a while.
@BiscuitDoughJones: I was always confused how they knew to do teh sex in the first place! I guess if you watched enough of the animals, you'd figure it out. Still!
@hellonos: Cintia Dicker is beautiful.
@blondegrlz: Ow!
Dam moddles.
