Oscar De La Renta Keeps It Classic

Jennifer — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 17:30:00 EST

It's really easy to just roll your eyes at Oscar de la Renta. He's been churning out the same damn look foreva and it's not, as the fashion folk would say, particularly "directional" or "modern" or any of that bullshit verbiage. But wanna know what his Pre-Fall 2008 collection is? Really, really beautiful. Yeah, it's a little bedazzled, full-skirted, and so expensive that it can only be bought by ladies-who-lunch. But while he might not be innovative, there's nothing stale about de la Renta, especially this collection, which is downright garden fresh. (Literally: Check all the non-old-lady-esque floral prints!) If we had all the money in the world, first we would save the children. Then the animals. And then, just maybe, we'd get the dress above.

Eva Mendes was on TRL today, and host Damien...

Eva Mendes was on TRL today, and host Damien Fahey jokingly (?) asked her about the "pregnancy rumors." Eva said that she was not pregnant, but continued, "A girl cannot have a big pasta meal anymore and walk down the street. I mean, I eat, I'm sorry, and sometimes I eat a lot, and I order dessert, I love pizza, I love cannoli." We love that! And now we're hungry.

Upper East Siders Love Crotch, Hate "Vulva"

After testing out Vulva, the fragrance that's supposed to smell like a vagina (but really just smells like a non-gender-specific sweaty crotch) on gay men in NYC's Chelsea, we were curious as to what posh types on Manhattan's Upper East Side would think of the scent. This time, we asked participants to compare Vulva to Tom Ford's Black Orchid, the perfume reported to be inspired by the scent of a man's crotch (but really smells like flowery old ladies). On Saturday videographer Alex Goldberg and Jezegay Ryan Creed made the trek up to the expensive-shit shopping district of Madison Avenue, where we were mostly snootily ignored by the ladies who lunch. However we did find some good sports willing to take a whiff, first of Black Orchid, then of Vulva. Clip above.
