Tyra Banks — September Cover Shoot [YouTube via NY Mag]

The 1,900-square-foot space is painted with mantras that encourage shoppers to "make it happen" and "mix it up — no rules apply." On inspiration boards, Tiger Beat idols past (Elvis, Johnny Depp) and present (Zac Efron, Orlando Bloom, the aforementioned Jonas Brothers) are paired with encouraging quotes from John Cage, Coco Chanel, and Sister Corita, the now-deceased former nun who designed a love postage stamp in 1985. "We’re really about empowerment," says Wiatt.

An animated rainbow-striped heart avatar asks a customer,"What’s your fashion mood?" Her choices are Pop, Malibu, Peace, Rock, and Juku (short for Harajuku). Fleece hoodies, T-shirts, and dresses can be customized with adorably quirky illustrations including a Chihuahua, a ‘70s dream horse, and a “strawbunny,” which is a rabbit in strawberry garb. "I’m 60 percent Peace with 10 percent Juku and 5 percent Rock. The rest is Malibu. I love surfing," says Wiatt.

Wiatt and Tisch met through their husbands 15 years ago and are now so close, they even carry the same canvas Louis Vuitton Rayures tote.

They experimented with toy sewing machines but found the concept nearly impossible to execute. “It would be pretty hard to teach that age — even women our age — how to sew,” says Tisch.

"We're dealing with the aspirations and the birthday parties of 10-year-old girls," says Wiatt. "We want Fashionology L.A. to be the most fantastic memory that they’re going to have."

Elizabeth Wiatt & Jamie Tisch: Ladies Who Launch [Harper's Bazaar]

Three good things about this photograph:
1. The composition and colors
2. The dress/shoe juxtaposition
3. Lucy's muscles
Three terrible things about this photo:
1. The earrings are $25,000
2. Surely if she puts her foot down that heel will sink into the grassy ground and she'll be trapped or hurt?
3. Is this an homage to or a mockery of the sport of javelin throwing?

Girl looks fierce until you think about the fact that she's on a balance beam in a gown and heels, which is ridiculous.

Get it? Shotput. With a $2800 Chanel bag. Dumb.

Okay, actually, this is cool. No, really. The foxy Robin Hood vibe, like the Disney film. Oodelally, golly what a day.

Lifting weights is for brawny dudes. Ladies pick up $3100 Gucci bags and barely break a sweat! Osteoporosis, shmosteoporosis.

LOL. Chariots of ire.

More Of Vogue's "World's Best Bodies"

Do people get confused by Harper's Magazine and Harper's Bazaar? After all, the luxury goods industry is not so different from Halliburton — shameless, ubiquitous, and really talented at charging more for less. Once again, we're taking things to their (ill)logical end with our own "Harper's (Bazaar) Index", inspired by Harper's famous feature, which parses the world of big oil, big money, and Big Pharma and puts it into easily-digested numerical form. This month's issue marked Bazaar's ultimate surrender to the advertising gods, probably something that Harper's would love to rip apart...if it cared about fashion magazines. After the jump, find out just how bitchy The Real Housewives of New York City are, what kind of yellow fever will make you pretty, and how many coats you should purchase in the dead of summer.

(Although unrelated to the Estee Lauder promotion, Bazaar has been shilling expensive shit next to the mastheads for its editorial and publishing staff for many months now.)

• And what does legendary costume designer Bob Mackie not like about the fashion industry? "Doing a fashion show that's on for 20 minutes and then it's over and everybody runs to the next one.

Selita Ebanks' dress is black and white and beautiful all over.


I love how model Valentina's dress insists on it being spring.


Sure the whole leather skirt and sweater is slightly 1988, but I can't help but love Ashley Olsen's entire vibe. Also go ahead and crucify me: Love the gladiator sandals.

Anna Wintour We are so tired of Anna WIntour's damn bob and think she needsto learn a few lessons from Carine Roiteld about the perks of smudgey, grungey French chic. And voila! Tousled long red locks and bright red lips do just that. Anna Before: Anna After:

Robbie Myers Robbie, like Anna, also sports a trademark 'do: Long wispy bangs, hair pulled into a loose chignon. But unlike Anna's style, we think Robbie's really suits her. So we thought our only option was to take her from tousled and natural to the look sported by recent covergirl Victoria Beckham: Short, blonde, and alien-esque. Robbie Before: Robbie After:

Glenda Bailey In dire need of a new look is Glenda Bailey, a woman who seems to have never met a comb or a tube of lipstick. (In her defense, she's stubborn) So we tried vampy old-school glamour, the opposite of Glenda's new look, with long Angelina-esque locks. Hmm, on second thought, we think her Simpsons makeover was a helluva lot better. Glenda Before: Glenda After:

Grease: I know little kids love this movie because my sister wouldn't stop singing "Tell Me More" when she was going through a "naughty" thing. That was the same year she kept peeing in a shoebox in her room. She was four. They all think they're gonna be sluts when they're four.


And that's when the "nun" phase starts! It's like the first sign of self-hate.

And what little girl doesn't at some stage want to be a populist dictator?

Okay, Wonder Woman, duh, evergreen. Who isn't still kind of obsessed with Linda Carter?


The second sign of self-hate: that movie that prepares all young girls to settle for the first jerk with back hair willing to marry them.
