dude looks like a lady; marc jacobs edition.

Hey, if you design womenswear that is the Krispy Kreme amongst the fashion twinkleberries, why not indulge in it yourself!? Well that's exactly what INDUSTRIE MAG had in mind for the coveted fashion designerlebrity Marc Jacobs. Take a gander!

And THAT, mothalovahs, is how you do chic gay pirate! I really hope John Galliano is taking notes in his "I ♥ Moses" papyrus notebook I sent him because MJ is doing John Galliano better than John Galliano does John Galliano! Actually, I might have it all wrong and instead perhaps this is Galliano's cousin who left the dungy pirate ship to go to college in the big city, became a sophisticated lad(y), and is all "classier than thou" at Thanksgiving dinners. Indo0obitahhhbliiieeee!

But on a real note, I dig this concept by INDUSTRIE; it's simple yet playfully interesting. Also, I rather fancy Marc with fluffy long dapper tresses. Honestly, look at him and I dare you to tell me the kid doesn't look praisingly smashing!! I. COURTNEY LOVE CRAZY DARE. YOU!

MJ, if you haven't already, I highly suggest you give some serious thought to snatching back Megan Fox's 2011 Golden Globes hair-piece. I know she let you borrow them for the shoot but I'm sure she'd understand.

Who woulda thunk Marc to be a face-of-all-trades!?? Not only does MarcJacobie out beat John in Galliano-nizing but he also out foxes Foxy herself! If his designing gig fails one day, at least I can have peace of mind knowing he has a lucrative back up plan. Thank, Zeus!

The Children of the Corn Carine's supposed demise.

The hilarious artist that is aleXsandro Palombo, the master mind behind the slightly controversial but freaking hilariously brilliant illustrations for his site Humor Chic, has decided to make another little rendition of Carine Roitfeld. Check it out. 

For those that understand where this is coming from, how freaking great is it!? And for those that don't, I'll give ya the lowdown. So there's various rumors as to why Carine left her editorship with some saying she didn't choose to leave but got fired for x-amount of reasons. This is one of them:

For the December 2010/January 2011 issue of Vogue Paris, a little spread entitled 'Cadeaux' caused some controversy as it featured 5-6 year old girls playing high-end dress up  and wearing massive amounts of makeup that rival the facepaint of a Kardashian sister. Apparently this kiddies were too glamorourized and too sexified for some to handle and news got to LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault and he supposedly threatened to withdraw all advertising from the next issue of the publication. LVMH owns some heavy hitters like Fendi, Donna Karan, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Céline, and such... that's a $hit ton of money that Vogue Paris/Condé Nast would loose. A plausible cause for getting axed.

Here's the little spread itself:

Personally, I really don't see anything crude, child-abuse-ish, or inappropriate about this spread. They're just little girls playing dress up and c'mon which little girl (or boy) hasn't invaded their Mommy's closet? Or perhaps it's because of my Latino culture where, from what I've concluded, it's ok for little girls to embrace their inner girlyness at a young age. My little sister had her ears pierced & diamonded up by my mom as soon they got home from the hospital, had little plastic heels waay before she could even walk, completely iced out like a hip hop video, and constantly had little makeup kits of her own all over the house- she was definitely working it. So yeah, this editorial is nothing of great shock to me. In fact, it just looks like Natasha Poly, Daria Werbowy, and Karlie Kloss had a run in with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons" and "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids." Actually, I think it's more creepy than controversial.

Plus, in America, we've got these...

Pageant girls! Well, I mean it's not like I see them leaving trails of glitter around my neighborhood (I'd cry in horror & creepiness!) but TLC has a show about them, so people must like them or at least be fine with this  done-up baby Barbie thing, right?

I can see why people may be upset about it: 1. it can be a Thanksgiving meal for pedophiles and 2. there are 3 shots from the bunch that are a bit too "suggestive." But to say it's telling little girls to grow up quickly? Umm, what 5 year old, besides Tavi, is reading Vogue Paris? And if there are, they're probably going to be fashion prodigies anyhow. Plus, I don't know if you guys remember but this was the TOM FORD guest editing edition, so of course there would be something worthy of thought provoking sensationalism. And guess what, it worked!

Do I think Carine was fired over this or just fired in general? Nope. She's made Vogue Paris what it is today, why would Condé Nast want to let her go? Unless... Anna threatened them with "THE LIST" á la Devil Wears Prada. Hmmm, I sense a conspiracy coming in 3... 2... 1...

So is Vogue Paris sending out a bad message? What do ya think about Carine's departure?

Looks like Lara decided to show her Britney...

Although most of us in the fashionsphere have already seen super model femme fatale Lara Stone bare it all in killer editorials before, it's always hilarious when a crotch shot happens accidentally and candidly. Haaalarious!

Bienvenue a Paris!!!

Nothin like a lil sexy Anna via AleXsandro Palombo to start off Paris Fashion Week right!

Merci, Anna... this is the best welcome into Paris Fashion Week!! Sexy, sexy. Haha. Anyways, I don't even know where to begin, I'm thoroughly stoked to see ALL of the collections. There's something about Paris that just tickles my croissant like no other fashion capital does. Can't wait to see the Parisian awesomeness unfold. =)

"And we walk over and just shake them off..."

Model down at the Burberry Prorsum Spring 2011 show today in Londontown. Not just a model but the FINALE model. Now if that's not the proper way to close a show than I need to go back to Barbizon Modeling School! I wonder how Christopher Bailey is handling this one? Well I guess that's what he gets for being an asshole and making his gazelle's wear heals that even the classy ladies of the fine establishment of Nudie Cuties wouldn't touch. Cheerio, Chrissy, C H E E R I O.

A case of the LFMAO'S/WTF's to start the weekend right.

"As the Vampire King of Germany, Kunty Karl, and his sessy human Baptiste Giabiconi strut their asses through St. Tropez, I'll be trying to emulate their strut on a beach in Jersey (not Snooki's neck of the stroll). Although, I won't be doing it in shorty shorts like Baptiste's since that could be considered disturbing the peace."

Bon weekend, mothalovahs!

"Fashion bloggers- I hate them all."

Olivier Zahm, founder of Purple Prose [whom also gave birth to various offsprings such as Purple Magazine and Purple Fashion], let us know his not-so inner thoughts about fashion bloggers.

Why so booty-tickled, mon petit Olivier? Even Terry Richardson was somewhat taken aback and had a "thiisss bitch is craycray" face (which are usually strictly reserved for himself). Hilarious!

I feel like I've been writing a lot of 'these' lately...

I hate how I have not been able to crank out awesomely awesome posts in what seems like a very long time!! Especially when haute couture and mens fashion week have been at the core of this current season. It makes me sad and I apologize a million times over. My wireless has been cut off and I haven't gotten around to setting one up of my own (this real world thing is not my deal!) and curse the bastards who decided to password protect their signal I was feeding off of! I'm a college student- I'm on a budget! Eat me. Anywho, I'm gonna try to get on it and hopefully be back in full force soon! If there is a Zeus in the blogosphere heavens, please make this happen!!!


In the meantime, feast your eyes on this beauty:

Or maybe this gem...

And if you thought these were some fine pieces of pure elegance than their fellow exquisite citizens of Walmart will tickle your fancy just right (click here!) - you can thank me later.

Peace, Love, & Effen,

London Bridge Lady Gaga's fallin' down, fallin' down...

"When Lady CaCa eats floor from wearing fucked up shoes that even the members of KISS think make her look like an asshole, we all win! If you need me I'll be at my craft table making animated flip books of these beautiful pictures to hand out to bitches with the sads who need a potent pick-me-up (pun intended). Prozac can go fuck itself, because Lady CaCa falling at Heathrow Airport is the real cure!"

How EFFEN Glorious!

Not only does this Dutch-nectar-of-the-gods go down insanely smoothly but it has a spectacularly badass name to go along with its ultra premium deliciousness. Seriously, "EFFEN"!?? Fucking GLORIOUS!!!! Supposedly it means "balanced" or something of that nature in Dutch but I know from the bottom of my drunken heart that they made that shit up just incase they get into some kind of scuffle with the FDA or whatever governs crap like that. Luckily there seems to be no worries because they gave into the dirty/nasty/canyoublameusforbeingimmature meaning and used it epically in their ads. 

If this isn't brilliant marketing than I don't know what is!!?? Again, fucking GLORIOUS!!! It's definitely safe to say that I will be EFFEN a lot this summer (seriously, did ya think I could go without making my own double entendre shindig?!) and every single one of you should too! Hah!

Douchebag Solidarity- A cause I can support.

Fucking glorious!!!!

LMFAO!

Hah!

What in the Twilight fuckery?

EPIC. FAIL. 
I wish I had someone this cool in my life.
Yeah, that'd be awesome.
Question mark. 

So this is what Erykah Badu was talking about...

♫♪♫ So where my garbage bag lady

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

And what about the grocery bag lady

Bet ya love can make it better

I'm talkin' to my Gucci bag ladies

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

And what about my paper sack ladies

Bet ya love can make it better

What about my nickel bag ladies

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go ♫♪♫

This is freaking glorious in every way possible. Probably the best use of a paper bag, sharpie, and paperclips of all time. I'm sure it broke some type of Guinness world record. Haha. Paper sack ladies represent. Eat it, Lagerfart!

And just because this used to be my jam back in the day, it is only fair that I give it some play time. Old school Badu is definitely where it's at. Fo realz. 

Yup, that definitely IS Karlitos.

Compliments of Elle Spain April 2010

Yup, this looks about right.

It's been a couple of weeks since Terry Richardson was confronted by Rie Rasmussen for taking advantage of her when she was a young model and countless other models have stepped forward with equally disturbing encounters with the famed fashion photographer. I wasn't going to comment on it but after stumbling upon this hilarious illustration, it's a must.

by aleXandro Palombo at Humor Chic

Although Terry is a freakin genius when it comes to snapping photos it doesn't change the fact that he's a scumbag. His allegations of manhandling and harassing young models is something that I honestly believe to be true. Common guys, think about it... tell me he doesn't have skeeziness written all over him. There's always been something creepy and grimy about him, especially after viewing his dirty obsession with his nakedness in Terry World. I mean seriously, he's rocking a handlebar moustache!!! That's more than enough rapist vibes to be featured in Dateline's To Catch A Predator. I even read somewhere that some of the heavy players in the industry have been aware of his violating antics for some time now. That's just sickening. Their silence is just as guilty as his disgusting behavior. It is for that reason that when I saw this epic illustration by aleXandro Palombo I had to chime in. It is quite a bold statement and truly shows Terry's powerfully diabolical hold of the industry. Sad.
