Considering the fact that thigh high Choo boots are probably at least $1500, that price seems fine. Am I missing something? #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

@Penny: yeah 299 doesn't seem so crazed to me. Mind you I personally wouldn't buy them, but I see boots all the time that run well over 100 so...? #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

@Penny: $299 — at H&M — is just against my nature. For God's sake, with a little creativity, you can find Manolos for well under $200! #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

If the MadMen line is selling at Brooks Brothers expect it to be crazy expensive. I've been in BB from time to time when looking for a simple black skirt/pants and that shit is bananas expensive. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

@bluebears: I saw an ad for the Mad Men/Brooks Brothers suits, and I think they were around $900/$1000. I'm not sure how much Brooks Brothers normally charges, and that's definitely way more than I'd ever pay, but I don't think it's as crazy expensive as, say, an Armani suit. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

@ytuhermanotambien: yeah I don't know about mens suit prices but the womens clothes at BB are just beyond expensive. They're basically more conservative version of the stuff at Banana or Ann Taylor but they are like 3 times the price.

Those Tom Ford quotes are priceless. I particularly enjoyed the quip about the bonzai trees taking a trip to the countryside each month for their necessary sun exposure. His dry, sarcastic wit makes me want to be close friends with him, or at least invite him to a fantasy dinner party. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

Jill Biden likes to wear miniskirts sometimes.

Harlot! Those skirts are above the knee! This would not fly at my all-girls Catholic high school. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

Lohan's idea of couture: taking the pants off one model and putting them on another model. Art imitates life! #lindsaylohan

Lindsay Lohan, finally addressing her disastrously received first Ungaro collection, says, "I am learning."

Cool Lindsay, you know I probably couldn't design a professional high-end line either. But you know where most normal people learn? College. You should go. I think it would fix a lot of your problems. Until then, while you get to learn in the professional sphere while the rest of us would get fired for it, I'm choosing to ignore you and your mother's pleas that you're "just a 23 year old girl" and that you should be left alone. #lindsaylohan

The croc store is going to smell like a rubbery, rubbery hell. Why must they ruin the air quality?! WHY?!

Edited:
H&M, I'll resume my love affair with you once you eliminate the freakish neon section of your store, and change up the cycles of the designs. I went in to look at jackets, and I found three that were identical to one I had picked up two years earlier, but in ~different colours~. Yawn.

Nora Ephron cracks me up.

As I get older, I've noticed I can no longer wear H&M, Topshop etc. Cheap clothes look, well, cheap on me. #lindsaylohan

After the Anna Sui mess -- those clothes were cute, but so poorly made as to be destroyed on the hangers before they could be purchased, I'm giving up on designers for Target lines. #lindsaylohan

Photoshop Disasters posted another Ralph Lauren ad, much akin to the Filippa one. Who does their photoshopping, and where can I buy their drugs?

I hear you, Linda. I grew up in New Jersey and 30 miles away, there was this farm with chickens. And once, when I was six, my parents took me to a petting zoo and I saw some chickens. Another time, I watched the film "Chicken Run" and one time...

So yeah, you could say that I know a lot about chickens too. #gettypic

@Tchotchke: when I was growing up there was a horse farm right behind my house, and I could see the horses roaming around in the farmers fields. Once in a while, my brothers and I would walk over and feed them apples and carrots. I'm pretty much an equine expert. #lindsaylohan
