All the highlights of the week- a shiny faced Anna Wintour, a clean cut Marc Jacobs, a recently divorced Ditta Von Teese, Gemma Ward in EVERY show and Hot pants so tiny I'm sure a couple of girls flew home with thrush! Enjoy.
Oh and lastly, my favourite quote of the whole week. Unkle Karl in response to comments about how small all his clothes were, ‘The girls are not anorexic, but the clothes are.'

It has been announced this morning that British Fashion Star Stella McCartney will be doing an exclusive range for Target Australia. The collection will be hitting Target stores across Australia from March 12th. This is an exciting moment for stylish Australians yearning for high street fashion seen in Europe and America in super stores H&M and Zara.
Stella's sister Mary shot the campaign, one pic seen above! This little contributor will be down at Southland at 8am the morning of the launch that's for sure!

How great is he, in his curly blonde wig!!
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER was inspired by a spoof Bad Hair book for his latest Menswear Collection held in Paris yesterday..............................................................
As you can see from the shots below, Dior's latest Paris Spring couture show seemed to be highly infulenced by Madame Butterfly (if Madame Butterfly was a raging drag queen!)
"Seriously guys, have I got something stuck in my hair?"
"I know it's part of the whole look, but did you really have to shave off my eyebrows? F-U-C-K!"
"What's so great about this hat is that it also doubles as a serving platter...cheese anyone?"

(Victoria Beckham leaves the Jean-Paul Gaultier space after the Jean-Paul Gaultier show, as part of Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2007)
Every time I see Posh, I'm always surprised she isn't wearing a neck brace. I don’t mean that I’m expecting Vicki to pioneer the neck-brace-as-fashion-accessory craze (although stranger things have happened. Remember the helmet craze of 97?) It just that I’m astounded her twiggy little neck is able to support such a lollipop of a head.
Sandwiched between that head and the over sized bow on her top, her neck looks the size of my wrist. I really think someone should be watching her at all times to ensure she never falls asleep in a chair- a quick jerk of the head and Posh might be wheeling herself to the next fashion week…

(Chanel Spring 2007 couture Paris runway)
What is it about Unkle Karl and fingerless gloves? It's not enough that he wears them wherever he goes, apparently now all his models have to do the same.
OK Karl, we get it- you're old, you have poor circulation, you have a couple of unsightly moles. Your hands just don't do it for the hot young guys like they used to. It's cool. Cover them up. Hide them from the vicious fashionistas, eager to cut you down at the slightest sign of weakness. But why make the girls on your runway mimic your insecurities? They have beautiful hands Karl- let the world see them.
And maybe by doing this you might begin to heal, one hand at a time…

According to 'The Daily mail', fashion designer Valentino has made a plea, at the start of Paris Fashion Week, for the 'parade of skeletons featured on the runway to end.'
Apparently, 'Spain, Italy and Brazil have banned extremely skinny models from catwalks' and after fashion bosses refused to ban them at the Paris shows, Valentino thought it was time to take a stand.
Fair enough point Val. But it's not as if any of the model's from your Paris spring show have any junk in their trunks. In fact I'd say most are one purge away from an IV drip and brittle bone disease.
You can talk the talk Val, but your models sure ain't walking the walk! (man I should write these lines for a living)

Sophie Monk (pictured here with Nicole Richie) is really hitting the big time. And all she had to do was sleep with the fat brother from Good Charlotte. Oh well, since they’re all hanging out together, maybe Nicole will be a positive influence on him. They could binge and purge together...

Karen Walker has launched a new travel site dedicated to "people like us". I'm not sure who "us" is exactly, but let's just pretend that it's you and me. Contributed to by super cool fashion people like Marion Hume and Karen herself, the site is sure to please even the most well worn globetrotters. Check it out bitches.

At You Wish You Looked this Good.com we like routine. You might call it a star sign trait. So Monday we will be presenting our fave Karl Lagerfeld pic of the week. Just think of it as something to inspire you for the tough week ahead. Today's photo is the winner!
He looks like he is at a beat- waiting for Butch to finish off Eduardo...

Super duper, English artist Banksy is offering free downloads of his most popular works on his website. Along with the free prints he also offers instructions on printing-
Serving suggestion:
"Prints look best when done on gloss paper using the company printer ink when everyone else is at lunch."

For those of you who have seen the film (and for those who haven't), I've found this cool video of the making of the September 2006 cover of Vogue. Isn't Kiki Dunst a lucky girl- wearing all pretty dresses, designed especially for HER...Check it out bitches.

Man she's colder than an Eskimo eating an ice cream...in a fridge factory!!! And that 'bob'. I know it's her 'thing', but man that thing would annoy the hell out of me.
.............................................................
Ok, so these ones are a bit closer to her, but even still, the Lohan we've come to love and loathe is suspiciously absent in this photo. No freckles, although she does have a serious case of Gingervitis.
.............................................................
Ok I know these are like so last week, but whatever, I don't follow trends I set them (I have no idea what that means, but let's just go with it).
Lindsay Lohan is the new face of Miu Miu, but fuck me if you would know it's her with out someone pointing it out. It's amazing what a wig, a retoucher and the latest in genetic engineering technology can produce. I introduce to you Lidsay's clone- Robo-Rohan...
"Promises has cable TV, but The Wonderland Center has ensuites...Fuck. Why is this so hard?"
.............................................................
Renee Zellweger is starring in the new Beatrix Potter movie.
Renee's over zealous Publicist talks to her team-"We need some PR for the movie STAT. I want Renee airbrushed to death, in a grey marl, V-neck, over-sized sweater/dress, on the cover of US Vogue this minute. Oh and don't forget to put a rabbit somewhere in the shot...but don't make it the star. It should be all about Renee. Maybe she could sit on the rabbit, NO.... GIVE BIRTH TO IT! YES!!!! The rabbit is like a metaphor for the movie, that Renee is giving BIRTH TO. OMG! this. is. awesome. Make it happen people, Renee NEEDS us!"

What do you do when you're the new hit of Hollywood, but you can't speak english. Head to a Chanel Perfume luanch at the Chateu Marmont and ignore everyone, of course. ->Nytimes.com

Lindsay- "On behalf of Karl, swollen cheeks and myself, I'd like to welcome you to ‘you wish you looked this good.com’.
Since checking into rehab, I've decided to spend more time focusing on the things that are important in life. So that's why I'm happy to help launch this site. Because if rehab has taught me anything, it's that what's on the outside is what really counts. I mean people can't see into your insides... CAN THEY? Well maybe if they carried an X-ray machine around with them at all times, but even still, it would totally take ages for the x-ray’s to be printed. Anyways I've forgotten what I was saying, oh yeah, this site is like totally about what's on the outside. It's like what my sponsor's been teaching me. I'm can't reveal her identity (they don't call it Alcoholics Anonymous for nothing, dummy!), but she is always like, 'Lindsay. How will people know your special, unless you show them with your face?' And every time she says that, I'm always like, 'that's so true Donatella, that's sooo true!'
Which is why looking AMAZING, at all times, is so important! And why this site kicks fashion arse- because it looks amazing and is full of amazing looking people...'
Karl- “So firstly. Lindsay. Don’t EVER speak for me! I may love you like the emotionally stunted daughter, my womb never held, but that does not mean you can speak for the great Karl Largerfield. Do it again and I will mix your coke with rat poison!
I have been in fashion for more years than Madame Tutuea ruled the brothels of the Citea Maisons Alfort. And I don’t put my name behind anything I don’t believe in. Ok, maybe that book I wrote about how I lost all the fat that once housed my divine soul, was not so good- but hey, even a genius can sometimes step in the gum of stupidity. So when I find something so wonderful as this site, I must shine my golden light on it. I must rip off my fingerless gloves (I can’t pick up coins with regular ones) and scream to the world- ‘you wished you looked this good.com has arrived, and bitches- it’s not going anywhere!’”
Cher- “Botox is for children! I’ve been using Botox 2000 for the last year and now I can’t move any muscle in my whole face. I actually have to type everything into one of those voice box things Stephen Hawkings has. So I’ll keep this short. You wish you looked this good.com rocks, and even though my face may be frozen, my insides are smiling with excitement.”
