I Can Has Dizzertation?
Jay Dixit managed to write 1,765 words about the meaning of LOLcats, and his essay was published on Salon over the weekend. Dixit touches on the LOLcat mythology, including Ceiling Cat, lolruses and the LOLcat Bible Translation Project. He delves into the comedic structure and concludes that LOLcats "don't represent cats at all, but people. By using cats, icanhascheezburger can access themes more tragic and poignant than it could using people. You wouldn't enjoy a comic of an actual person fingering a blade and contemplating suicide — but when it's a cat, you can accept it... have seen the lolcats, and they are us." But! At no point does he mention LOLVogue. Fail! [Salon]

LOLVogue: I Can Haz Locayshun Shewt? (Plus Contest!)
Even though the November issue of Vogue has a lovely fashion spread featuring Natalia Vodianova, her husband and kids, it was too busy to LOL. On the other hand, the "Chill Factor" spread, inspired by global warming and vacations (no, really) was almost too boring to LOL: How many times can we see an expressionless moddle on a beige background, jumping? Even though the shoot is dull, it's good fun to try and LOL anyway; and there's a contest, too! After the jump, as usual: We're in ur magazeen, puttin werds on ur moddles.

LOLVogue: Teh Billee Goatz Gruff (And Contest!)
Someone was smoking some really strong shit when they came up with the Burning-Man-esque "Natural High" photo shoot in the October issue of Vogue. Three lithe, billy goat-ish moddles are on a rocky landscape, under a blazing sun, wearing huge shaggy furs, and the magazine calls it "beastly beauty." Add "hooflike heels" and you've got a lurid fairy tale — without the bridge, troll or moral. It's hallucinatory and ridiculous. But! I mock because I love! Which is why, inspired by LOLCats, here is another episode of LOLVogue. After the jump: We're in ur magazeen, puttin werdz on ur moddles. (And! A contest!)

LOLVogue: Sumwon Elss Kleanz Up (Plus Contest!)
The September issue of Vogue has a "2-For-1 Special" photo spread, shot in a supermarket by Steven Meisel and starring Amber Valetta and Kirsty Hume. The story is supposedly about dual-toned sheaths, but just like everything else this fall, it's about Mad Men! The retro housewife aesthetic. (Remember when Betty slapped the divorcée in the produce aisle on season one?) Anyway, inspired by LOLCats, here is another episode of LOLVogue. After the jump: We're in ur magazeen, puttin werdz on ur moddles. (Plus! A contest!)

LOLVogue: I Can Haz Wind Tunnel?
The August issue of Vogue has a photo shoot titled "Equal Opportunity," ostensibly about putting menswear-inspired items with frilly feminine stuff. The spread, starring Gisele and shot by David Sims, makes ample use of the wind machine. Your eyes will water just thinking of the velocity! And so, inspired by LOLCats, here is another episode of LOLVogue. After the jump: We're in ur magazeen, puttin werdz on ur moddles. (Plus! A contest!)

LOLVogue: All Dat Glitterz Iz Mah Pantz
Once you get past the "We're Not Racist We Swear" story in the July issue of Vogue, you'll find a delightfully stoopid photo shoot called "Adult Education." David Sims is the photographer for this 16-page editorial meant to showcase how the fall fashions eschew frills for "clean lines and a newfound maturity." Grown-up? Not exactly. Perfect for some juvenile behavior, actually: the LOLcat treatment. You know the drill: After the jump, were in ur magazeen, puttin werds on ur moddles.

French LOLVogue: I Can Has My Close-Up?
As previously reported, forty-seven year old actress Julianne Moore is on the cover of Vogue Paris, looking positively catty. Apropos, then, that some of the images inside seemed perfect for the LOLcat treatment. A blank-eyed moddle stars in the "Sunset Boulevard" shoot by Terry Richardson and Carine Roitfeld, after the jump.

LOLAudience: Paul Janka & John Fitzgerald Page On Dr. Phil
Yesterday, two notable specimens of boy-foe material, Paul Janka and John Fitzgerald Page, appeared on Dr. Phil to let talk about their big egos in front of a female-only audience. The audience reactions were so priceless — lots of disgust and appalled laughter — that today, one of you asked us to give the images the LOL treatment, an "offer" we couldn't refuse. The results, after the jump.

LOLVogue: Superhero Photo Shoot Gets Super Stoopid
The May issue of Vogue is really weird. From the RoboGwyneth cover and interior spread (do Vogue readers care a whit about Iron Man?) to the fact that Smallville's Tom Welling (???) is in a photo shoot, it's all kinds of creeptastic. This has something to do with the fact that this month, The Costume Institute's spring show is about superhero style, and Vogue always considers the opening night shindig to be the gala of the year. Anyway, there's a photo story, shot by Craig McDean, that was begging for the LOL treatment. (Familiarize yourself here.) These "superheroes" in evening gowns may not be able to save your life, but they can try and distract you from the drudgery of your day. We're puttin werds on ur moddles, after teh jump.

LOLLost: Srsly, Guiz, Dis Izland Is Weeerd
So, a funny thing happened in the LOLVogue comment thread yesterday. I capped one of the Vogue shots with a Lost reference (isn't dat wer oceanik flite 815 went down?) and some commenters decided that LOLLost should exist. And so they created it! Thanks to commenter stoprobbers, there is now a LOLLost website. Some of the best macros, after the jump: Theyr on ur eyeland, puttin werds on ur servivers. More » -

LOLVogue: Sheez Over Ayteen, I Sware
The winter issue of Italian Vogue has been out for a while, but we couldn't let the season pass us by without slapping some kitteh speak on the "Wild Warriors" images shot by Steven Meisel. The wacky, wonderful narrative is extremely heavy on the fur: Animals were most definitely harmed, but not by us! Also: We need to go out and vote, so we're gonna slow down the blogging a bit after this. (Vote if you can!) Anyway, after the jump: We're in ur magazeen, puttin werds on ur moddles. Ciao!

LOLVogue: Good Help Is Hard To Find
Welcome back to another episode of LOLVogue, in which we create a mashup of LOLcats and the latest issue of Vogue. The December issue, with lovely Penelope Cruz on the cover, includes an accessories spread called "Precious Gemma" modeled by Gemma Ward, in which the model is "doing" household chores. Is she acting out one of Anna Wintour's fantasies? Does Ms. Wintour want a lithe, twiglike little urchin to clean her home? Is Anna Wintour Miss Hannigan? We'll never know. In the meantime, after the jump: We're in ur magazeen, puttin werds on ur moddles.

LOLVogue: We Have A Winner!
Last week, we kicked off our new LOLVogue feature with a nidded scarf, fork earrings and an invisible Vespa. Then, on Monday we unleashed a new pack of LOLVogues — including a blank page from the September issue in need of a caption. There have been dozens of submissions deserving of praise (an honorable mention goes to Jezebel reader "slap.dance!" for the double-entendre'd: i gets high on camera. i pwnd k8 mozz.) but only one, of course, can be crowned the winner. After the jump, we mock-up the gold-medalist:
