Dita von Teese is currently in Australia for Sydney Fashion Week. Last night Dita did her burlesque performance with the aid of a mechanical 'lipstick', for MAC cosmetics... .............................................................
At the Balenciaga party at Barneys, Friday night in New York, Ashley Olsen used the opportunity to test drive a piece from her forthcoming line, The Row. "Her cropped navy-and-forest-green plaid-printed jacket was a chic update on the carpetbagger look for which she and Mary Kate have become best-known."
Wow, was the person who wrote that quote looking at the same photo as me? I think there is something wrong with my eyes. I can't see a damn thing in that pic. It kind of looks like two identical heads floating above a sea of dark material, which come to think of it, seems to be their signature look. But that's besides the point, back to me! I'm going blind! And it's taken the Olsen's to make me finally realise it. My eyes have been a bit itchy over the last few days, but I just thought it was because of my flat-mate's cat. But looking at this photo it's clearly something much, much worse. Time to call my optometrist me thinks. And thanks Ashley Olsen, yet again, you are the bearer of bad news!

We may soon be again saying "CAUSE ME PAIN HEDI SLIMANE" if recent reports are to be believed. Apparentley "Mr Slimane signed yesterday a preliminary contract with PPR, head of Gucci Group. Rumor has it he's in the midst of negotiating the details, but is possibly already developing his OWN brand..."
How excitement! I knew that after leaving Dior, that droopy face little twig wouldn't be out of the public eye for long. Can't wait to see what he comes up with. It's about time we got some young blood (besides models) on the scene.

A crowd of thousands gathered as Kate Moss appeared in the window's of Topshop's Oxford st store, yesterday. Kate was on hand to launch her new line of clothing for the company. She apparentely sauntered out, and posed with mannequins in the window, as the crowd stirred into a frenzy trying to get a peak at the wee lass.
If that dress is any indication as to the quality of the range, I'm a bit under-whelmed. That thing looks like it comes from Britney Spears' 'popping-down-to-the-gas-station-to-buy-some-ciggies-and-Red-Bull' summer range. All Kate needs is a straw hat and a butterfly tattoo on her exposed mid-rif and she'd fit right in at Casa del Spears.

Not content with her already successful partnerships with Adidas, LeSportsac and Target Australia, Stella Mcartney is "teaming up with Paris-based premium denim label Notify Jeans to create a cobranded jeans collection for summer 2008. Both parties were mum on details. Maurice Ohayon, the brains behind Notify, also acts as creative director for the K Karl Lagerfeld denim line."
The term 'over-saturation' comes to mind. I reckon Stella might want to just chill for a while and focus on her own brand. Getting a Stella Mcartney piece is becoming about as easy finding a Von Dutch hat. And we all know what happened to Von Dutch...
'Yikes!' That can't be good for your brand..............................................................
I think the video says it best.
Glad I know you.
Love Tom

Is Pete alive in this one?
Kate looks gorgeous in this pic, but not sure about Pete, he looks like he has been on an ice bender for the last week!!.............................................................
While perusing one of my favourite sites, Visual Dizziness, I found this unusual picture of model Elsa Sylvan (Next), backstage at Cacharel, Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, recently.
Is it just me or does it look like that's not her head? It's like she's wearing some sort of model mask. I feel like she might pull it away from her head to reveal the face of a middle aged gay man- so desperate to follow his dream of becoming a model- he's willing to attach an uncomfortable mask to his head for hours at a time. Either that or she's the new generation of model, genetically grown to have so little neck, she makes Nicole Riche's lollipop head look like a giant Gobstopper. Whatever's going on here, I don't like it. I'm no fan of girls who need a friend to hold their head each time they sneeze for fear they might snap their neck. Way to high maintenance!
.............................................................
Kate Moss will join the mannequins in the window of Topshop as she launches her new range of clothes for the store. "Moss will pose as a dummy at the Oxford Street flagship store as her clothes go on sale on 1 May. She was paid £3 million for the range, which features her trademark hotpants and jeans" said the press release.
I'd normally say that there isn't a better dummy out there than Moss. But then she is making 3 million pounds for a clothing range she didn't even design. Nothing dumb about that.
.............................................................
No, no, apparently the real reason for the patch is because she has an eye infection. Heidi Klum turned up like this to the German version of 'Next Top Model' which was screened yesterday.
I'm not buying it though. I reckon the real reason for the patch, is that Seal sang to her with such emotion she started to cry tears of blood. Either that or she just came from an audition for Pirates of the Caribbean 4- Hunt for the German Chest.
But eye infection... who does she think she's fooling!?

Did you know that if you visit photographer Terry Richardson's website, there is a section where you can send nude photos of yourself to ol' Terry for your chance to be shot by the man himself? This is what it says-
"Hello , if you are male or female and interested in posing Topless or Nude for Terry Richardson please contact us by Email."
What an old sleeze. Probably how he finds his girlfriends.
If you're unfamiliar with ol' perv face, the vid below contains a collection of his more famous shots.

Sacha Baron Cohen, you are a fucking genius! These clips for his character Bruno (a pretenious Austrian fashion reporter) are so clever.
Screw Borat, it's all about Bruno.
Thanks COACD for the tip off.

Remmember the good ol' days when supermodels ruled the world? When Linda wouldn't get out of bed for less than $10,000, when Claudia was making magic with David Copperfield, when Naomi was stradelling Madonna in the sex book, when Elle still held the title of 'the body', when Cindy was pulling gerbils out of Richard Gere's arse, and when all you need to say was a first name to know who they were? Well those days are gone! Granted those old broads have aged much better than the rest of the population (a great feat considering their excessive lifestyles), and most of them are still kicking around- albeit in courtrooms and rehab- but there time has past. Now there is a new breed. Leaner meaner and considerably more Eastern European, these girls are apparently the ones to watch.
Perhaps I'm just being sentimental, but these girls just don't compare with the 90's supermodels. But hey, they have time to work on it. Lily Donaldson needs to get offer arse and throw something at her assistant. Sasha Pivovarova needs to drop her last name and release a calendar and/or workout video. And lastly Chanel Iman needs to call up Billy Baldwin ASAP and get Fair Game 2 off the ground! Am I asking too much?
"The names William, punk!"
Who's the chic at the back?.............................................................
A Swedish hospital wants to ban staff from wearing Crocs plastic clogs, blaming the static electricity they generate for three incidents in which respirators and other vital medical equipment malfunctioned.
The hospital is deciding whether to ban the Crocs in certain parts of the hospital, or completely outright.
"It's been a problem for many years, but now there are so many people that have them," said hospital spokesman Bjorn Lofqvist.
AT LAST, the madness may finally stop! I can't even express how much I hate these stupid excuses for a shoe. At first I thought it was just a craze, but now these things are so fucking popular that people in hospitals are getting hurt by them!
I just don't see the appeal. I mean it's not like clogs are that cool to start with, and clogs with holes in them- what genius decided that was a good look? It's time to take a stand against them. I can only hope that this swedish hospital is the first of many institutions to ban them. For it is my dream that we will all, one day, live in a world free of Crocs. I know it's a bold statement, but you have to have dream, or how are you gonna have a dream come true?
.............................................................
In case you missed it... here it is.
No surprises there. Nice location, Kylie wearing the outfits, me falling asleep.
I'm such a bitch, at least it made more sense than the train wreck that was Madonna's H&M commercial. Madonna's acting sucks so hard, she can't even cut a break in her own commercial.

Not one to sit around, fired L.A.M.B designer Zaldy is already moving on. He's just completed styling the new Scissor Sisters music video 'Kiss You Off'.
The video, directed by Robert Hales, was inspired by the mod, futuristic designs of Balenciaga, Mary Quant, Pierre Cardin and Paco Rabbane. Have a look below.
I can definitely see the Balenciaga references in Ana Matronic's outfits. I've been waiting for her to finally step into the lime light. She looks hot- good work Zaldy. Georgie and I will have to hire you to style our youwish Xmas card. Only thing is, we don't have much money, so Georgie will have pay you in sexual favours. Which is your lucky day. Sexual favours from Georgie is the hottest currency going around, 'wink wink nudge nudge!'

Karl finally overcome his fear of white, and decided to celebrate with an all white extravaganza! White hair, gloves, pants, shoes, shirt, tie, jacket, bodyguard and even yacht. Man, the only way this picture could get any whiter, was if Karl invited a couple of Klans men over to do lines of coke off Powder's bare chest.
= Goooood times!.............................................................
I know this isn't fashion related, and Tom you will probably kill me for it, but I couldn't help it. You put up hot boys like Louis Prades, I put up baby animals...
Everyone take a minute and look at this sweet little baby, and yes, THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!
.............................................................
It seems that youwish's model of the month Louis Prades has more fans than we thought. Over at Supermodels.nl and also Modelhommes-forun.com Louis has been causing quite a stir. And they just gave a shout out to youwish... Much appreciated, although I think we freaked out a few of the ladies on the forum with our suggestion of Louis's sexual orientation. So we'd like to apologise- I'm sure Louis likes pussy just as much as cock.
P.S. Thanks to Supermodels.nl for the new photos. hot hot hot!

Ben Stiller first created the character of Derek Zoolander for the 1996 VH1 Fashion Awards. After the wild response he received from the spot, VH1 commissioned him to write a script which then became the successful movie.
Click this link to check out the original sketch he made for the show. It's hilarious!

According to Women's Wear Daily, Karl Lagerfeld has photographed French first lady Bernadette Chirac for the latest issue of French magazine Paris Match.
"The first lady is photographed wearing a pair of fingerless leather gloves, a nod to a designer who never takes his off. Chirac, who is busy packing up to move out of the Elysée Palace soon — the French will be electing a new President on April 22 — gave a tour of her home to the weekly magazine. Lagerfeld shot Chirac with members of her staff and in the Elysée wine cellar. The 10-page article also includes a spread of photographs Chirac selected herself, which illustrate her 12 years spent at the palace."
Wonder if she also fucked her body guard, bought 70 ipods, and grew a silver ponytail as another 'nod' to Unkle Karl? He'd be totally flattered.

Well that only happens to Georgie. Such vulgarity is below me. But subscribers certainly put a big smile on my little face. So go on, what have you got to lose? It's a very unobtrusive email that beams into your inbox with updates of our latest pile of posts. Everyone's doing it and we promise not to ever use your email for anything untoward. In fact we don't even get your email. The little people inside my computer do. And they've assured me, they'll keep them very private. So go on, be a friend, you know you want to.

Remember the Dove evolution campaign?
Well, Chanel 4 in the UK has done a clever reversal version of the ad for the TV show Ugly Betty.
Another example of why advertising in the UK is probably the best in the world. Love it! Bit over Ugly Betty though. I was so excited for it at the start, now I watch it and it somehow seems a bit lame. I mean, in how many more episodes does she have to win everyone over with her heart of gold before they abandon their superficial ways, and realise they actually like her? Me thinks the story line is getting a little repetitive.
.............................................................
She looks so fresh faced!
Way before cocaine and bizarre duets with Pete, Kate sat down with an interviewer and spoke about life as a model.
I love it when she speaks, she's so meak and mild mannered. Oh how I miss the old days.
.............................................................
This is a new feature for youwish... in which we turn our lecherous attention to a hot male model that's making our pants fizzy at the mo. So like a drunk old sugar daddy showing off his young lover to his jealous friends, itsss my plwesurre tooo introduccceee youse tooo Louis Prades...
Louise has modeled for Calvin Klein(above) and has also been photographed by such famed photogs as Steven Meisel. Louise also enjoys horseback riding, Grey's Anatomy and having his boyfriend cum all over his face.
Just the type of guy we like!

Paris Hilton launched a range of self named watches in Basel, Switzerland, on Saturday. In collaboration with Parlux, the company that already makes Hilton's fragrance, the watches are as cheap as Paris herself. While Paris proclaimed a love for luxury timepieces from the likes of Rolex and Franck Muller, Hilton said her watches will be more for p-p-poor (I always have trouble saying that word) people, "Not everyone can afford that type of watch," Hilton patronizingly claimed at a news conference before a hired room of European journalists.
The watches will be available in stores this winter, and will retail for a measly $150 to $250!
Even homeless people can afford that!

Because I value you so much as a friend, I got Britney to send you a video message on my behalf. It makes no friggin sense, which I think is perfect cos, you know, our friendship doesn't much sense either. (See what I did just there? I made a parallel. Pretty clever hey? I should total apply for an internship at Seventeen Magazine. I could write smart shit about young Sudanese refugees dealing with body image issues and the pressure to be thin in the third world. I would total rock as a serious journalist, focusing on in-depth issues, like Barbara Walters or Mary Hart.)
Anyway, hope you like it.
Love Tom

Anyone flying Vladivostock Air to the next Russian fashion week?
Something delightful mid flight? You bet.............................................................
You may have all seen the video for Fiest's new song on Perez, but if you haven't then today's your lucky day. I hope it makes your Monday morning a little more bearable.
Cheers big ears

Pete Doherty dragged his lover Kate Moss on stage during a performance in London recently. According to the Daily Mirror Pete "introduced the track "KP Nuts", and said: "I am dedicating this song..." before the crowds interrupted him to shout out "Kate, Kate".
The singer then replied: "Yes, to my beautiful fiancee."
Moss then apparently jumped on stage and joined Pete in a rocking duet of Chicago's 'Hard Habit to Break.' Then Moss' butted out a ciggie on her face and kissed her modelling career goodbye..............................................................

Marc and Naomi may look all wholesome and reformed after serving time for Alcohol abuse and aggravated assault, but I know better. Marc's got a fat ass bottle of vodka in that bag, and Naomi's hidden her assistant's severed hand in the glove compartment of that car. After they've downed the vodka and had a good laugh about the severed hand, they're gonna head over to Winona Ryder's house to show her all the shit they stole.
Celebrities get to have all the fun!

Tom I know you love Will and Grace (as do I) so this clip is is just for you.
I wish you were a back up dancer for J-Lo, your dance moves are just as good as Jacks.
Enjoy...

Click the video to see the style.com video of the little lady tattooing a poor bastard, for the second time in her life!
Man, I wouldn't let Jade Jagger come within 10 meters of me, with a needle filled with ink. I prefer the person who's permanently branding my skin, to have done it at least-- I don't know-- 3 times. As she mentions in the video Jade began tattooing after forming an interest in the art-form one summer. She's been learning from one of her friends who owns a tattoo studio in Ibiza (where she lives). Which I guess means that the next smashed English tourist, wanting to commemorate his his holiday with a, 'I'm in love with the DJ' tattoo, might just end up with a Jade Jagger original. You've been warned.

Thanks to our dear friends at Oh la la Paris for this one. This hottie above is the new face for Louis Vuitton. Vincent Lacrocq (or Vinnie, as I call him when he's tending to 'my business') is already a seasoned pro on the runways. This dude has modeled for more fashion houses than I've stared inappropriately at strangers on the bus! And is it just me, but doesn't he have a striking resemblance to the ex B.F of one Marc Jacob's- head designer at L.V?
Coincidence? I think not.
