Marilyn Monroe Makes Vanity Fair Cover — For the 15,712 Time

Last modified on 2012-05-03 03:37:43 GMT. 0 comments. Top.

It’s not possible to explain in words how sick I am of Marilyn Monroe. She’s become the party guest that you can’t escape. In fact, I wonder if her spirit is dancing to Gotye’s “Somebody I Used to Know” in celebration of over-exposure. Seriously, Vanity Fair — please get more creative the next time around. This is the third time in five years she’s been on your cover.

Miranda Kerr sure is pretty, and Terry Richardson sure is good at capturing it. See the Harper’s Bazaar photos below.

Isabel Toledo on The View — Spectacular Fashion

Isabel Toledo appeared on The View to promote her new collection, and she hit it out of the park. She shot to super-stardom when she dressed Michelle Obama for President Obama’s inauguration and she certainly has the design-chops for a long-sustaining career. She doesn’t really need my promotion, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Watch below.

Katya Zharkova Poses With Anorexic Model — Proves Modeling Industry Must Change

Last modified on 2012-03-18 16:51:07 GMT. 0 comments. Top.

I love curvy women. In fact, all of my celebrity girl-crushes have curves (see Selma Hayek & Jennifer Lopez). I’m not sure when it became hot for a woman to look like a little boy, but it’s gross, and it should end. And though I walk out of the room backwards when there’s a man in my bed, the Plus Model Magazine images below have certainly helped with my process. Look below to see America’s Next Top Model contestant, Katya Zharkova, posing naked in heels, and click here to read some startling statistics about the modeling industry.

Kardashians Model Their Own Lingerie — Orange & Airbrushed

Last modified on 2012-03-14 15:49:44 GMT. 4 comments. Top.

There’s something fundamentally cheesy about celebrities who model their own clothing. And when that clothing is lingerie — it’s even worse. To top it off, the Kardashian girls are practically unrecognizable in their ad. They are so heavily airbrushed they border on cartoon characters. Did I mention they’re orange? I realize this is how it’s done now, but it’s ridiculous.

Nicole Richie Covers Ocean Drive Magazine — Unrecognizable

There’s a girl on the cover of Ocean Drive Magazine who claims to be Nicole Richie, but I’m not so sure. In fact, the image is so heavily airbrushed it looks like a cartoon character. I certainly love Nicole Richie, and I think she’s beautiful. I’m just wondering where she is.

Cindy Crawford Stops Daughter’s Fashion Career

Last modified on 2012-02-21 16:41:07 GMT. 0 comments. Top.

Cindy Crawford rightfully decided not to whore-out her ten year old daughter to the fashion world. Though her daughter recently modeled Versace’s children’s line, Crawford said, “At this point, she’s too young to pursue a career. There aren’t even a handful of jobs for a 10-year-old girl.” This is good news. I was actually pretty disgusted by the photos from the Versace line, because no one wants to see a sexualized 10 year old. Perhaps Crawford should have a conversation with Kris Jenner.

Jean Paul Gaultier’s Amy Winehouse Fashion Show — Tribute or Exploitation?

Last modified on 2012-02-05 21:41:00 GMT. 0 comments. Top.

When Jean Paul Gaultier paid “tribute” to Amy Winehouse during Paris Fashion Week, Winehouse’s family was not pleased. Her father said, “It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best, and glamorizes some of the more upsetting times in her life.” Though I love Jean Paul Gaultier and I thought the fashion show was extraordinary, I agree that it bordered on bad taste. Most people remember Amy Winehouse’s fashion choices during her least stable time period. And in hopes of remembering her when she was at her best, I’ve posted a vintage interview below. And as an aside — Amy Winehouse was fucking brilliant. To see pictures from the fashion show, click here.

You’re Tying Your Shoelaces Wrong — Who Knew?

Though my older brother will never admit it, I taught him how to tie his shoes. After all, women are smarter than men, right? But after watching the video below, it appears I taught him incorrectly. Thanks to Terry Moore and TED, my shoelaces will never come untied again. Watch and enjoy.

Kardashian Sisters Model Denim — Topless — Boring!

Last modified on 2012-02-01 06:15:47 GMT. 0 comments. Top.

How many Kardashian sisters does it take to screw in a light bulb? I’m not sure why that’s a relevant question, nor am I sure why it’s necessary to go topless to model a denim line. Sure it draws attention to the denim, or their boobs — whatever strikes your fancy. But the idea of using sex to sell clothes is dated and boring. Plus, there’s an age shelf life on this tactic, and unless they start planning their transition now — I imagine they’ll be at a complete loss very soon.

Tim Gunn Talks Flat Shoes on The Revolution — Should Women Wear Them?

Last modified on 2012-01-31 16:30:40 GMT. 0 comments. Top.

I have a very fashionable gay friend who insists that a woman should never wear flats — under any circumstances. The revelation was devastating, and I think of his disapproval every time I slip on my very comfortable ballet flats around the office. As it turns out, my friend is wrong. According to Tim Gunn, certain styles and circumstances allow for the more comfortable alternative. Watch below.

Karl Lagerfeld Interviews Himself — Narcissist?

There’s narcissism — and then there’s narcissism. Though Karl Legerfeld is an unequivocal fashion genius, only an ego-maniac would interview himself. I realize that this is simply an idea gone wrong, rather than a representation of his character, but let this be a lesson to everyone. Only Alec Baldwin could pull off the idea below. Watch and enjoy.

45th Annual CMA Awards — Fashion Smashion

Everyone knows that awards shows are just a great excuse to get a bunch of celebrities in a room together to massage each other’s ego. That being said, I love a pretty dress, so it only makes sense to post pictures from the country music awards. Click the “continue reading” link to see all the glam. Enjoy!
