    I was just talking about designers with my friend today. I want to know who Lady Gaga's costume designer is and see if there's any more. I enjoy her visual style - is it all her? Who's her choreographer? I wish I knew these things.

    I call shenanigans on the Austin Powers costume. C'mon half of that outfit is the puffy shirt and we all know that it was clearly stolen from Jerry Seinfeld.

    I used to work in set design for movies and tv. The whole industry is about the directors, the actors, and sometimes the soundtrack. No one gives a rat's ass most of the time. You have to have a very specific type show or movie to "break out". I used to work on Gossip Girl and it was all about the fashion. Hence why, Eric Daman is becoming famous. If Gossip Girl wasn't fashion oriented and just been another teen show like Gilmore Girls, no one would care. Some people work in movies and tv to get more on their resume. It's not like they're looking for fame behind the scenes.

    I'm thinking of that scene in the Devil Wears Prada where Meryl Streep tells Anne Hatheway how her sweater evolved from fashion elite. While it kinda sucks that the inspiration behind the clothing isn't credited, in a lot of ways I think it's the nature of the beast--relatively easy to produce, really easy to copy, and styles go in and out very quickly.

    All that said, is there REALLY a market for Austin Powers suits?!! Outside of Halloween?!

    Considering the fact that thigh high Choo boots are probably at least $1500, that price seems fine. Am I missing something? #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

    @Penny: $299 — at H&M — is just against my nature. For God's sake, with a little creativity, you can find Manolos for well under $200! #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

    If the MadMen line is selling at Brooks Brothers expect it to be crazy expensive. I've been in BB from time to time when looking for a simple black skirt/pants and that shit is bananas expensive. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

    @bluebears: I saw an ad for the Mad Men/Brooks Brothers suits, and I think they were around $900/$1000. I'm not sure how much Brooks Brothers normally charges, and that's definitely way more than I'd ever pay, but I don't think it's as crazy expensive as, say, an Armani suit. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

    @ytuhermanotambien: yeah I don't know about mens suit prices but the womens clothes at BB are just beyond expensive. They're basically more conservative version of the stuff at Banana or Ann Taylor but they are like 3 times the price.

    Those Tom Ford quotes are priceless. I particularly enjoyed the quip about the bonzai trees taking a trip to the countryside each month for their necessary sun exposure. His dry, sarcastic wit makes me want to be close friends with him, or at least invite him to a fantasy dinner party. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

    I wonder what, exactly, you'd expect an objective source to say about the essence of love. "It's everything except that red rose parfum crap. Man that stuff stinks. Ignore Ashley, it's just the crack talking."

    A favorite story about my mother (I slightly digress), regarded a dinner party at my school-mates' house where the hosts refused to allow the adults to dine in the dining room with their expensive oriental, reproduction rug, but herded them into to basement to eat. At this, my mother proclaimed, "I like to piss on my oriental rugs. It adds to the patina." This is, forever, my patina catchphrase.
