    I must admit... there was a time when I liked Ed Hardy (and *gasp* Affliction). I used to really like the designs, until I started to notice who was wearing them. That fixed that.

    @dj_chick: I still kind of like them on say, a scarf or a handbag. I don't think anyone needs to be wearing a giant tiger tattoo shirt though. Ever.

    I'm jealous of the Phillip Lim shoppers for two reasons:

    1. They got style advice from one of my favorite designers
    2. They can actually afford his clothing

    Bastards.

    I love Simon but call BS. To compare Hardy and Versace is ridiculous. Even at his most rococo, Gianni never made a shirt that looked like twenty people threw up on it.

    Yes, Simon, Jon Gosselin is totally thinking, when he dons his Ed Hardy gear, "I'll never be the darling of the so called 'City Fathers' who cluck their tongues and stroke their beards and talk about 'What's to do with Jon Gosselin?' This will show them, this awesome bedazzled tshirt covered in disco tigers and esprit de crap. Take that, arbiters of style. Now where are my hooge diamond earrings?"

    Of course it's cheesy! That's the whole point!

    Yeah, even if I believed that, I don't think people like Jon Gosselin are in on the joke. They think it's edgy. So DUH right back atcha!

    Oh Simon, really? Do you really think Jon Gosselin puts on those tiger shirts and thinks, "Oh, what a delightful way to put up a middle finger at the elitist doo doo heads who frown upon such garish fashions!"
    I think not. I'm pretty sure he actually believes wearing a tiger makes him look super badass and tough.

    @hortense: at this point I'm wondering if he's getting paid for wearing the product because he keeps turning up in pap shots wearing it. pretty smart advertising.

    @hortense: Aw, I gotta refresh more, but yes, assuming this so-called fashion really is a wink and a nod to the greater patterns of being, those not in on the joke still look silly and not at all badass. At least it's an easy way to say, "Hey, we're never gonna hang out."

    I always imagined Kate Moss to smell like cigarettes, beer, dirt, and sweat. Considering that smelling like Kate Moss isn't for me.

    I'm assuming Kate Moss's Vintage perfume smells like mothballs and that undefinable Goodwill smell that prevents me from spending more than a minute in any thrift store.

    Gorgeous, inspiring ad. It reminds me of pulp science fiction stories from the 40s and 50s. (Although the LV bag does look a bit out of place.)


    Also, swans are vicious buggers. One tried to take off my foot, but luckily I managed to move faster than him. I did get some great photographs of him looking graceful and serene, though.

    Having just bought 6 more vintage hats from 1910 to the 1940s in recent weeks, I confidently expect to oust Carla Bruni from her perch as best hat wearer next year. Mind you, I had to smile at the idea that someone based in Luton should be setting themselves up as the arbiter of fashion savoir.UK Jezebels of a certain age will forever remember the advert featuring a cockney girl asked by an English toff whether she had wafted in from paradise. "Nah, Luton airport!" she replies.

    I looked at those pictures of Lily Cole. Can't the girl go out of the house with a ring on any finger she likes and not get crap about how she is attention-seeking or a crap student?


    I know, I know- I'm not surprised at the Daily Mail but it seems pretty little to make it across the pond.


    Also- Oilily filed for bankruptcy. I'm so, so NOT sad. I was tired of overpriced mother/daughter patchwork velvet spats.

    "Swans, they are the meanest animals in the world, you know. I had problems with them as a child. They hate children. I was caught by one, so I know. The idea of swans is lovely, and they have a beautiful shape, but they seem more romantic than they in fact are. I don't think really they die like this. They just drop dead, hmm? But who wants to see that?"


    No comment, I just wanted to reread that. Crazy, wonderful Karl.

    @lilbobbytables: I've been tearful for the past 36 hours about the murder of George Tiller, but the mental image of Karl being 'caught' by a malevolent swan made me giggle.


    Keep on with the crazy, Karl!
