open letter to sarah haskins

Dear Sarah-

i love you, but not in a creepy snapped 2getha4eva way. I love you almost as much as i love starbursts and cheap beer. i love you so much that i get fits of rage when commenters on alternate websites lament the discrimination of men in the media in attack of your webcasts in target women. (i cannot even begin to fully parse or spoof the retardation; the original speaks for itself, see below for screen grab) most of all, i love that you are WORKIN' that rice crispee treat.

now,
back to candy and beer

o p-l-z a-p-c

i love apc i really do. LOVE. its so eazy breezy and perfect. they consistently deliver the smart basics of my dreams. dreams because i do not have 300 euro for a 'short coat', but none the less! gorgeous. which is why i am fucking BAFFLED as to why, when they have such nice things for s/s09 as below, that they included a TERRY CLOTH JUMPSUIT?!?!! complete with o-ring zipper pull! its the spawn of a million south beach 35 year old grandmas and satan himself. please. please apc, why must you hurt me so!

rungay

Jezebel is giving the rundown of last nights eposiode of rungay. Tracie is on the proj run beat for the site and her comments are exceptionally excellent, as always. regarding my new most-hated character ever, Kenley,"...what Kenley needs is a heaping spoonful of shut the fuck up. She is so argumentative on the runway, it's embarrassing. Because it's ultimately disrespectful!". Jez has all of the pictures of the outfits up in the post, which is worth checking out. Kenley got in an argument with the judging panel, interrupting them and raising her voice, like always and stated the gem that she 'doesn't look at collections' therefore doesn't believe-seriously, she was not accepting that her outfit was unoriginal, even when M.Kors listed the designers that each piece she made was knocking off-that her vile outfit was knocking off things that had been done before. Just because you don't deign to look at it doesn't mean it doesn't exist or that someone, or EVERYONE, has done it better and before you. The most galling thing about last night's episode was not Kenley's head up her ass, Suede talking about Suede, or even Michael Kors saying that Suede is not established enough to even THINK about referring to himself in the third person. It was that, all of these yo-yos cry and whine that no one understands their 'vision' or 'taste' (what, that neither exist?) in other challenges, but when they are given the carte blanche of creating a true avant garde outfit no one brings it. shameful shameful.

"I stay at 165 pounds and cook everything out of Cooking Light magazine. I only eat irresponsibly on Saturdays, which means bacon and candy. I am against [nips and tucks]. If you have bad plastic surgery, it looks like you were brought up poor, moved to LA and didn't make it. If it's good, you just look like somebody else." — John Waters. via jezebel via page six

warm my heart

short pointed posts today. little exclamation points if you will. illustrator elizabeth moch rocks my world with her soft doodly pencil portraits. this particular illustrator is from interview magazine; another favorite item of mine.

reverse buyers remorse

isabel marant is an iconic french brand. the brand is cult-ier than the Heaven's Gate pack and its followers are just about as fanatical. her clothes are better than the fanciest of kool-aids and much more insouciant than black nikes. the styling is classic french gamine, but each piece is a stand out on its own. the garments are sized as 0,1,2,3...(a type of one size fits all small,medium,large set-up) and are effortlessly drapey and slouchy, but with a real weight that is comforting to wear. if only i had the common sense to buy it when i had the luxury of being around it everyday. i've learned my lesson for sure.

also: minor-excitement/partial rant: for s/s08 she included black in her color palette which is often not done, but really should be and is much appreciated by yours truly. no one, especially no one in fashion/design, is going to abandon black. i don't care if nytimes, vogue, elle, or whomever decrees it too somber. i don't care if the earth turns into a giant moon bounce with free kittens and $100,000 dollar bills for every one; people will still choose to wear black. so good. i am even more psyched that she includes black and dark neutrals as much as i do in my own wardrobe. that only gives me more reason to collect it all.

OMFG KITTIES
