    Some people have talent in spades and go unnoticed. Others have Katy Perry to contend with.

    Peanuts music makes everything better. Has to be true if it helps LA.

    Makes sense that Katy's fashion muse would be Agyness. Posers attract.

    She made a shirt and she liked it/She hopes some people will buy it.


    It's made of silk/it felt so tight/it won't be in Vogue, that's right.

    speaking of viral ads, has anyone checked out this one, for Whopper-scented perfume? It is pretty glorious...

    Agyness Deyn is Paula Yates 20 years later, that's not style it's history repeating...


    As for Dita, another good copyist, this time of 40s/50s style.


    Neither of them could truly claim to be original however.

    @emilyanne: In that case just about the only celebrity you an slap the 'original' label on is Posh. She's the only one I've seen consistently wear the architecturally strange outfits that one could consider truly 'unique' or 'new'.


    The lengths Dita goes to in order to have her style are immense, and even her more 'modern' outfits have a distinctly retro feel. I think that qualifies her as 'stylish'. As for Agyness, blech.

    @battleaxonista: I agree with you about Dita, I didn't mean to imply she wasn't stylish merely that it's not particularly groundbreaking.


    The Agyness stuff really does annoy me because she is pretty much just copying Paula Yates and yet somehow being hailed as an original for doing so. Even her hair cut is the same. Maybe I just hate the 80s though.


    I'm not entirely sure that celebrities are every particularly original - most of them after all have stylists, I agree that Posh at least takes risks. If you look at the women who are 'muses' to fashion designers they're rarely famous outside their own field, ie Amanda Harlech or Daphne Guinness I suppose or Isabella Blow. Kate Moss used to be interesting in that what she wore, everyone else tended to six months later but I'm not convinced that's the case any more.


    Really the point I'm trying to make is that there's a difference between being stylish (Dita) and being iconic (Talitha Getty) and Miss Perry doesn't seem to realise that.

    The secret to EVERYTHING is to listen to music from Peanuts. I will cling to the Christmas album until the day I die.

    The music from Peanuts has magical happy powers. Like the Mahnah Mahnah song from the Muppets. Instant happy.

    I'm looking at that picture and wondering how much brainpower it took for Katy Perry to create the historical character of "Hooker Santa".

    @sarah.of.a.lesser.god (and the ovumlord of the rings): Many great Fashionologists had to sniff markers to come up with the concept. It was Katy's idea all by herself to make it red, though.
