Anyone who's ever watched Dr. Oz at work knows that he is a hack of the first order. He'll happily push whatever magical berry or miracle elixir will pay him, passing it off as essential to keep you from dying—or worse, getting fat. He's a women's magazine with a mouth. So we were not shocked when a tipster alerted us to an especially craptastic email that one of her family members got from the production team at The Dr. Oz Show yesterday. More »

Before I proceed to rip apart what's got to be the worst clothing item I've seen since the Forever Lazy, I have an admission to make: I love jeggings. I think they're comfortable and I wear them nearly every day. (I would never wear them in the place of jeans, or pretend they're not what they are.) That said, what in fucking hell inspired this company to come up with a trashier-looking version of pajama jeans — but for men? More »

A tipster recently wrote to tell us that Forever 21 didn't divide its wares into "men's" and "women's" categories — rather, its clothes were for "men" or "girls." We decided to investigate — and to take a look at what its competitors call their male and female customers. Below, a breakdown. More »

Two scientists have developed a chemical coating for fabric that causes it to clean and deodorize itself when exposed to sunlight. This means that unless the world is too polluted to occupy in the future, we'll never have to do laundry again. Now, let's all twirl around in our dream kitchens! More »

There's a lot to like about this very well-done promo video for a soon-to-open East London shopping, hrm, "centre" besides the fashion, much of which still looks very snappy, if not entirely accurate. Such as, for example, the music (by Tristin Norwell), and the choreography, and imagining how annoying, but also fun, it would have been to change your clothes 100 times and do the same dance every time.

If the sight of a mere todder's gigantic closet filled to the brim with designer clothing makes you sick to your stomach, there's nothing to see here. But for those who have followed either Rachel Zoe's reality series or her career, her son's immaculate collection of threads shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Look at the tiny custom-sewn Missoni sweaters! The Gucci baby bomber jacket! Ridiculous and extravagant? Yes. Cute? Also yes, if you can shut off that other part of your brain. More »
