Oh Ed Hardy designer, you're the classiest! I can't wait 'til it all blows up in your face, catches on fire then is encircled by women riding pink tigers.
I saw (500) Days of Summer this weekend, and did not realize until I saw the InStyle wedding issue at the store yesterday that Christina Hendricks is marrying the guy who played McKenzie in the movie. So in my mind, I'm picturing the "Are you a lesbian?" guy with Joan Holloway. Even though I know that isn't right. But good for them.
Don't take fashion seriously? Because insanely awesome and carefully cultivated street fashion just happens.
My Jenna crush, solidified!
She has her own paper cups, because "I'm so into monogramming. I'm doing it on everything right now."
Gena*, let me introduce you to reusable cups. They can be monogrammed too!!
I have to just say, as a corporate retail bitch, I am so not looking forward to this Q4. You will find me curled in the corner with a bottle of wine, sucking my thumb by October 31st. Promise.
Oooh. Now I kinda wish that I didn't sell my Project Runway Nick Verreos barbie on ebay for way too much money. Now she could have a smackdown with the Heidi Barbie.
Any thoughts on the Sea of Shoes styles? To me (no fashion expert), they look like they've been done and like they'd hurt. Meh.
What I'd love to see (from anyone) is more styles that make comfort less dowdy. Taryn Rose started something, and I wish more designers would run with it. I don't want to have to pick between comfort and style.** Or am I dreaming?
I was always of the opinion that Jennifer Lopez could have been a great actress, if she concentrated on acting, and not on designing ugly clothes and making bland, generic Top 40 music. Instead she spread herself out way too thin; she is not really great at any one thing, and everybody is sick of her.
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Oh no, she's terrible at acting, too. Selena is the one outlier. Everything else--awful. Need I remind you of The Wedding Planner? Made in Manhattan? Gigli?
@thelawschooldropout: I disagree. She was very good in Selena and Out of Sight-- both of which came out before she tried to be a jack of all trades. All the movies you mentioned are after the clothing lines and albums. When you try to do everything under the sun, something is going to give.
I can't understand "Sweetface" when we all know it's actually "Sexyface". I mean I can't even look at her without a banner popping up in my mind that says OMGSEXXXXYFACE MY FACE WANTS TO SEXXX YOU.
That Jennifer Lopez outfit is more of what I envisioned would happen when Alice drank the "drink me" potion. I mean, her clothes wouldn't get bigger, too!
If that picture is any example, I can't believe that JLo's clothing line was unsuccessful. How else am I to achieve sexy-face-blow-up-doll-trampy-becrinolined-business-suit look now??
Geezus people, just stop wearing fur. Regardless of where it comes from, what it is or what animal it's "in" to kill this year ... it's never ever good.
It's especially disturbing to me that all these young designers are jumping on the fur bandwagon now too: Jason Wu, etc. Can't we just get over it already?
@NicoleItchy: I completely echo your sentiment. I'm not a peta person, I'm not going to go throw paint on anyone, or whatever they did in the 80's, but really, I'm just tired by the idea that we can't get fucking relevant.
I mean, just get over it already. To me, it's no different than using fluorescent light bulbs - the old style is over, it's done, and there's no reason to hang on.
Charivari always seemed like one of those "too cool to go in" places when I was young and learning about fashion. But I summoned up the nerve once and they were very nice to me -- I'm sure they knew I couldn't buy anything.

That said, I secretly love several of her songs. Don't tell anyone.
