    It's not a knock-off if it's done by a real designer; it's an homage.

    Furthermore, he does not "rip off" the other designer; he is inspired by him or her.

    You've got to take into account the presence of a muse in fluttering golden gauze guiding his hand.

    Perhaps stylist Robert Verdi has been denied tickets to fashion shows because the Fashion World doesn’t want the rest of us to realise they actually have gay people working in it, let alone gay men. Or it could just be that he isn’t important enough to warrant one right now. As Heidi says, one moment you're in, the next you're out.

    I'm kind of disappointed in Tim Gunn after those Lohan comments. I'm not a huge Lindsay fan, but didn't he just say what a pleasure it was to have her on PR? It just seems kind of below him to talk bad about people.

    @katie.scarlett.o'hara: I don't blame him. It comes across harsh but fashion people are always too blunt. Ungaro replaced a talented designer who has trained and worked in the industry for years with a celebrity who is not known for her work ethic. It is really insulting to fashion designers, etc to see this kind of spectacle.

    @bitchney: I know they got rid of the designer, but is Lohan replacing him? I thought she had some other, more random role. Like some sort of promoter.

    @cate3710: I am sure she won't do more than be late to / blow off meetings and smoke cigarettes. They have a "designer" who will do all of the work while this trainwreck gets the credit. I would expect this from Bebe or something, not at a venerable fashion house.

    Just goes to show you how ridic the copyrights on clothing designs can be. Its a goddamn sneaker. New Balance didn't reinvent the wheel with that look.

    @dreamweave: heh. yeah. But if you look at saucony and nike they also have varying throwback designs that look pretty similar as well. There's just not that much to reinvent when it comes to a sneaker.

    @bluebears: Well, and it's really hard to get a copyright in a pattern or clothing design - which is why knock offs of fashion are so readily available. I wonder if NB has worked hard to protect this one, giving it some cache on the legal front. Otherwise, it's a color scheme and a fabric choice and I have no doubt the LV one is a crap running shoe.

    The women from Go Fug Yourself seemed to be pretty impressed by Victoria Beckham's show, but they admit they're biased. They also didn't talk much about the clothes themselves, though I find it cool that VB talked about each individual dress.

    i think that, despite everything, this magazine would actually be helpful and comforting to some women of that culture. when you grow up in a world where everything is taboo, then are expected to give it up one night to somebody you now need to spend the rest of your life with and are supposed to keep him sexually happy... well, that's just a little pressure for somebody who has never had any form of sexual education. i think the magazine could give women confidence. my personal beliefs do not agree with a culture that puts women beneath men, but some women are happy in that culture. this could be a useful aid to them.

    I doubt that judging this publication by the standards of the American print industry, or the Jezebelly reading public, makes any sense. In places where 'blatant provocation' includes so much that we take for granted as our right, it's a bit distasteful to imply that these Lebanese women should object to their (blatant!) oppression more politely. As for the danger to those buying it, and potential further government crackdowns, I really, really doubt they need us to remind them of the risk.

    @Dulcinea: I absolutely agree with everything you just said.
    "Object less offensively" and "You can accomplish more if you were more polite" are the oldest tactics ever for keeping the oppressed in line.

    @Dulcinea: I think that's a very good point; I do think, though, that the approach of this specific publication is worth discussing. I asked some Lebanese friends (who did not feel comfortable being quoted, although one was kind enough to translate quite a bit for me!) about their take, and they did feel the mad was missing a chance to do something important (although some of this it should be said seemed to arise from the fact that the editor is a controversial figure.) It's true these are perhaps an unusually liberal group of women - one went to college with me here in the States - but I did take that into account.

    Why do people get so upset over a little sex? No one has died from orgasming, except for that lady who almost did that was mentioned in Cosmo that one time.

    But does the publication's obvious desire to shock and enrage do its purpose a disservice? No, it sounds like she's testing the limits it a very productive way.

    @Clarissima: True Story: I live in a neighborhood that has a mix of several cultures that are well endowed in the eyebrow department. I am missing half my eyebrow from my own vigorous picking.


    So one morning, the SpaceHusband is watching me color in my brows for the billionth time and he asks me why don't I just go to the salon and get some new ones sewn on. He thought threading meant attaching new eyebrows to your head.
