The world, sadly, doesn't offer as many "take backs," and as of today, there's no method of retracting stupid statements that fly out of our mouths within 10 seconds of saying them. There are excuses, and apologies, but for the most part, life doesn't offer many "undo" situations. But let's just imagine we live in a Bedknobs and Broomsticks type universe wherein Professor Emelius Browne could supply us with such a thing. If you had a chance to undo anything, what would you choose to undo?

At first, I came up with a list that included several bad middle school haircuts, things I yelled at my parents during my extremely moody adolescence, decisions on what to major in at school, certain relationships, the majority of clothing I bought at Contempo Casuals in 1995, and every single encounter I've ever had with gin. But upon further reflection I'm not sure I'd undo any of those things; some were embarrassing, some were heartbreaking, and some were incredibly stupid, but all of the mistakes I've made have made me who I am, and without going through a period of shitty or awkward times, none of us would ever appreciate how nice it is to pull it together and finally feel comfortable just doing our own thing.

However, I would totally undo my "trademark" of wearing glitter all over my fucking face in 1999. I know, you guys. I KNOW! 10 years later I'm still picking it out of my hair. Tragic!

So what say you, commenters? Is there anything you would undo, if you had the chance?

<![CDATA[Truth In Advertising]]> Someone could fill a whole blog juxtaposing emails with hilariously apt Google Ads, but ... here's a juxtaposition that could turn that blog into a book proposal! Verse meets algorithm if you click the picture. (Context: there was none, nor is there now; the ad spoke to me. )

<![CDATA[Is Anna Wintour Taking Money From Charity To Pay Amy Linehouse?]]>

  • Does Anna Wintour love Amy Winehouse even more than Karl Lagerfeld does? Word on the street is that the singer who wouldn't go to rehab only to go to rehab has been offered $1 million to play at the Wintour-hosted Costume Institute Gala. But a rep says that can't be true since the Costume Institute Gala is supposed to be, you know, a benefit. For the children probably! [WWD, 1st item]
  • Some outfit called the New Enthusiasm is spoofing Marc Jacobs and Juergen Teller, the guy who shoots all those ads of his, with John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg, and now everyone is wondering what could possibly be the motive behind such a peculiar stunt. We have no earthly idea! That is why we present you with this hyperlink, so you can further ponder what it all means. [Sassybella]
  • Anya Hindmarch's London flagship was burgled last night, the second robbery the store has experienced in the past year. Can you think of a handbag designer whose inventory you would covet less than Anya's? Because I'm having trouble. [Vogue UK]
  • Oh god, you know, just when this industry's political statements could not get any more absurd: Agent Provacateur's "Fair Trial My Arse" underwear. [Sassybella]
  • Also, the rumors aren't true: Katie Homes is not designing for Armani. [E!]
  • Model Lauren Bush's most trauma-ramatic moment? "[O]ne Passover when we were on Coney Island, New York, where lots of conservative Jews live. It was a swimwear shoot, but luckily the theme was Fifties so nothing was too scandalous. Anyway, a crowd of Hasidic teenagers surrounded the camera. I was so embarrassed, I felt like I was corrupting them on a religious holiday." [Times of London]
  • Nordstrom is going green. And if you thought this wouldn't somehow involve a "collaboration" with a fancy designer you'd never heard of to design a reusable (and collectible!) shopping tote, well you would be wrong. [Fashion Week Daily]
  • Alexander McQueen, hellbent on world domination, is showing not only in Paris, but in a mini-show in New York next week. [Vogue UK]
  • Designer Adam Lippes is turning his Meatpacking District NYC store into an outpost for the ASPCA April 4-6, when the only thing you'll be able to do in the store is adopt a pooch who needs a good home. [Fashion Week Daily]
  • Lululemon, the yogawear line that got into all that trouble when they said their garments were made of seaweed and, then, er, they weren't, is now issuing a line of running clothes which they claim contain sensors built into the garment that serve as a heart rate monitor. [WWD, 3rd item]
  • Banana Republic is doing a limited edition eco-friendly collection of clothes in honor of Earth Day, on sale during the month of April. Um, what about the 11 other months in a year? [WWD, 1st item]
  • And Club Monaco is issuing its first-ever swimwear collection, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Earth Day. [WWD, 2nd item]
