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.
@bluebears: I don't know - that particular edition is THE iconic New Balance sneaker. And charging $590 for a sneaker deserves some sort of punishment anyway.
@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.
You know, I love this Whiney Paltrow story. It makes me happy that someone is making her jealous and envious. She had her turn as America's "It" Girl.
I don't have much of a problem with ScarJo at all. And this little tiff with Ms. Paltrow is helping me to forgive her Tom Waits cover album, which was, in fact, hellishly bad.
Is sleeping with your contacts in a euphemism for something? Because everyone's done it and I'm sure it doesn't cause a high volume of visits at the ER.
OK, I liked Dancing with the Stars last night. I admit it. I was perfectly fine with Shawn winning-I thought she and Shirtless Dude were the top two, and either one would have been fitting. But was it me or was Shawn making (Lady) gaga eyes at Mark? I could totally see her having a crush on him.
Furthermore, how can a vampire get an erection if he has no blood flow? These are aaaaaall questions I have tried to find answers to since reading Breaking Dawn.
@Lady Skittlehattington: That is a most excellent question. I believe I would like to borrow Robert Pattinson for the afternoon and investigate the matter closely.
I will, of course, be publishing my conclusions in an appropriate peer-reviewed journal. Please stand by while I do it for science.
@Lady Skittlehattington: He's not the first vamp to do it. Actually they all seem to be a bunch of hornballs. Angel, Spike, good old Dracula. Lots of sex involved in the vampire myth.
@ASmallTurnip: I look forward to reading your results, although, I'll have to do my own independent study. If Robert Pattinson isn't available, I'll take Jackson Rathbone.
@Lady Skittlehattington: I read Twilight and couldn't stop wondering why all the vampires didn't tweak out when Bella had her period. If they're SO sensitive to the smell of blood, and one of them freaks the fuck out when she gets a paper cut, wouldn't five days of vaginial bleeding have some sort of effect on the sparkly vampires?
@Lady Skittlehattington: Well, Stoker wrote Dracula as a response to Oscar Wilde's execution, so the whole thing is an allegory for homosexuality and it's persecution. Which makes the abuse of the mythology Stoker created by Mormons extra weird.
@SylvanSylph: Except that Oscar Wilde died of meningitis. And it's an allegory for Victorian sexual oppression, homosexual or otherwise.
Vampiric mythology has been around since ancient times(though, admittedly, Stoker created the modern version of the vampire that most of us are familiar with).
But, yeah, say what you will about what's-her-face--at least she had the idea of vampirism=sexuality correct.

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.
