Issue 21 of Pref magazine has just come out. I have no idea what Pref magazine is all about, but after seeing these photos on the great website Casual in Istanbul, I really don't give a shit. I think it's a fashion mag, and I think it's from Italy, but really these are minor details. What's of more interest is who is this hottie and is it possible to bid for that soccer ball on ebay yet?

As I sit here writing this, the iphone has been on sale for all of 1 hour and 22 minutes. And while I would give both my testicles and my right kidney to own one, I thought we'd take a look at the only other phone clipping its heels behind it...
The Prada Phone was released to the public in March (admittedly not to the same fan fare that surrounded the iphone) but then often the coolest things don't immediately get noticed by the establishment.
The reason the Prada phone is such a competitor to the iphone is that it too has a touch sensitive screen (it is actually the first phone to have one) and most of the features the iphone has (2mb camera, mp3, wifi, stylish design). But what really gives sets the Prada phone apart is simply the fact that it's a Prada phone. Because at the end of the day 'cool' always wins. And the Prada phone is so danm hot that if it was a model, Steve Bing would have impregnated it by now.
And while the iphone isn't about to suddenly become (gasp) uncool, one look at the people lining up outside the Apple store in NYC yesterday is enough to make you wonder, for at least a moment, which one you'd rather be associated with...

Poor old Jason Preston. He must be thinking it's a good time to investigate the advances in laser tattoo removals, because after he sees these photos of his ex-boyfriend, Marc Jacobs, I don't think he'll be holding out much hope for another reconciliation. Marc's found a new buttboy by the name of Ronny Giangualano. He's a 20-year old from Toronto that Marc meet on Myspace (click his name to see his profile).
What I don't get is why does Marc have to troll Myspace for talent? Surely he'd have the phone numbers of every hot model in the world at his fingertips? Maybe he wants someone with substance. And really what better way to find your soul mate than through an exchange of comments on each others Myspace pages.

And if you think the bag was bad, check out this pen from MontBlanc. Even though it looks like something you'd find in a Lord of the Rings show bag, it has a price tag of $700,000! Apparently it's adorned with rubies, sapphires and diamonds and took 15 months to handcraft. Perfect for every billionaire grand wizard..............................................................
Ok, so last time I did a poll asking who our new model of the month should be I didn't get the most conclusive response. In fact it was so split down the middle, it made Switzerland look like The U.S. So this Month, I've taken a cunningly clever approach and picked two models for you to vote for.
Model No.1 is Jamie Dorman. You may recognize him from his recurring role inside Keira Knightley's vagina. Yes, it's true he was once poking old 'Jaw face' Knightley. But don't hold that against him, cos they did break up (surely he dumped her) and now he's on to bigger and better things, like...hmm gosh, I don't know, but I'm sure he finds something to fill his time in between featuring in Calvin Klein ads and just being hot. Perhaps Sudoku!
Our second fella is Hugo Suazay. I don't know much about him other than that he has also featured in Calvin Klein ads and is also v. hot. Oh and he's French, which surely adds points to his sexy-o-meter.
So here we go. The power is in your hands dear readers, don't fuck it up. And let the voting begin.

Oscar Wilde once said 'Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months'. And we certainly aren't immune to this type of ugliness. In fact we embrace it whole heartedly. So when we find something (god forbid) new, we can't wait to introduced it our readers.
He Magazine is a men's fashion mag that have just released their 4th issue. It's full of hot boys wearing hot clothes (something that Georgie and I believe should be a part of every healthy diet). Plus it's full of interviews with interesting people like cover boy Casey Spooner (he's one half of Fischerspooner). Check it out online.

Dear G,
You mentioned in your last 'this one's for tom' post that my two favorite things in the world were Tetris and Japanese men. While I don't know how accurate that may be, I reckon I have a pretty good idea of your favorite things...
Can you resist the power of Hippo and Turtle's love?
I DON'T THINK SO!!!
Ah, shucks, even Anna Wintour would crack a smile at the sight of these two.
'The couple that snuggle together, stay together'.

The opening of Hermes' Wall street store last night, brought out the who's who of N.Y. fashion. Our obsession Chloe Sevingy, Rachael Weisz (wearing Oscar de la Renta- tish tish) and even Kevin Bacon did their best to pretended they were there for more than just the free booze and gift bag.
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedwick show their gratitude for finally being noticed in public.
Chloe Sevigny shows everyone else how it's really done. Umm, MMM! Hermes has never looked so hot!
What the hell is going on with that vest buddy? How many black alligators had to die for you to look like a chump in front of Chloe? But seriously that thing is HIDEOUS. It looks like something you'd find a crazy bum wearing, with nothing on underneath, as he screamed at a flower bush for trying to steal his thoughts. Chloe is obviously desperate to get away from this floppy haired disaster.
"Up, Up and away!" Lee Lee Sobieski just couldn't seem to get her jumpsuit above her bra.
This is what happens when you've been collecting 19th century French dolls for too long- you start to look like one. And they say black is flattering. That may be true but it tends to have the opposite effect when you're wearing 27 layers of it. Lynn Yaeger from The Village Voice must need some sort of pulley contraption, rigged up in her loft, to get all that off at night. Crazy.
This well drawn illustration explains quite clearly how the layer remover works. Trust me, in a few months this thing will be a big hit with the over 50's artistic crowd.

Tom, your two loves reunited in one magical clip.
Tetris and Japanese men! ENJOY...

According to TMZ.com Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigel is getting into the celebrity designer business and releasing a range of fashionable hospital scrubs.
"Heigl may not be a doctor, but she plays one on TV, and has decided to get into the celeb fashion biz by launching a clothing line -- of medical scrubs and healthcare industry uniforms! Nurse! The Katherine Heigl Collection will feature designs "appropriate for women of all ages who work in hospitals, private residences, clinics, dental offices, labs, spas and other healthcare environments." Perfect for the code red carpet! Most items in the catastrophic couture line are priced under $25 and will be "available this fall in retail outlets, online stores and catalogues selling women's medical apparel."
Just what the health industry has been crying out for- designer scrubs. But I guess at the end of the day most surgeons would rather get there Katerine Heigel scrubs covered in blood and guts before their Prada scrubs.
I think a quote a reader left on TMZ.com sums it up best-
"We're talking cheap, ugly, ill-fitting clothes -- how is this any different from Sarah Jessica Parker's clothing line?"

If you've seen the awesome film clip for Justice's catchy song D.A.N.C.E then you've probably drolled over the cool arse T-shirts featured in it and wondered, nah, hoped there was a shop that sold them. Well guess what Shirley? There is! Collette in Paris has just released the T-shirts featured in the video, in a limited edition run that caused a frenzy not seen in Paris since Kirsten Dunst tarnished the memory of Marie Antoinette with her movie-of-the-week acting. Only problem is they're not available online, so unless you're headed to France in the next while, you're stiff out of luck.
Good time to fuck an Air France flight attendant I say.
Here's the clip in case you haven't seen it.

hmm, interesting pairing. Not such a fan of Cavalli myself. As the head of fashion at H&M says in the clip above "he's very Latin, extravagant" which isn't really my bag. And any designer that counts Beyonce as his biggest fan instantly losses points with me.
He's a bit of a character however and we certainly love those here at youwish...
I'd love to see Roberto and Unkle Karl go head to head in an ultimate fashion cat fight. Roberto would poke Karl with his lit cigar while Karl used his 70 ipods as numchuckers. Karl would be quick (what weighing only 49Kilos) but Roberto looks stronger and could probably pick Karl up by his silver ponytail and throw him off the balcony of his Paris studio. Man I'd pay big bucks to see that showdown!

...Is an awesome fashion magazine out of Melbourne, that's run by the wonderful Nadia Barbaro. They've just released issue 5 which you can find at a whole bunch of places like Gorman and Karen Walker. You can also get it online...for FREE! Each issue gets better and better with number 5 being the absolute bestest, not lest for the fact that my interview with Lara Meyerratken is featured in it. If you have a spare minute, click here and check it out.

Sorry to all our fab readers for the lack of posts over the last week. Tom and I have been snowed under but will ensure some great stories over the next few days. And stay tuned for an exciting You Wish... annoucement. Until then an obligatory Unkle Karl pic for your viewing pleasure. Love Georgie and Tom xx
.............................................................
One of our fave You Wish... readers, Bretty, sent me this HOT, HOT pic and I couldn't help but post it straight (that's a conundrum) away. We love Preston, M.J.'s boyfriend, he is just soo naughty!
n.b is that Will Ferrell on the left?

Mary- Kate and Ashley Olsen are very busy twins. The pic above is from the girls new line called Elizabeth and James, named after none other than the girls lesser known siblings- hell they aren't famous for much they may as well have a clothing line named after them.
Does anyone think the model above looks a little, how do you say this, umm... COMMON? That pose is straight out of a Target 2-for-1 underware catalogue.

According to industry sources, Lancome, the L'Oreal-owned beauty brand, has signed Kate Winslet to be a spokeswoman. Winslet — perhaps best known for her starring role in "Titanic" with Leonardo DiCaprio — is expected to be introduced to the press at a Lancome event tonight in Paris. She and DiCaprio are currently filming "Revolutionary Road," a movie slated for a 2008 release.
I'm such a fan of Kate Winslet (well besides in the photo above where she looks like she's just been told she's contractually obliged to make Titanic 2- "James Cameron kept us in that freezing water for soo long, I nearly froze my balls off!") But in general I think she's a cool lady.
One of my friends was a nanny for Thandie Newton(she was in Crash) and her and Kate are good friends. She (my friend) meet Kate a bunch of times and said she's an awesome girl. Apparently she's a big boozer as well. I guess she now she'll be a really nice smelling boozer. Classy!

Hey Georgie, if no one knocks you up you could always get a creepy Japanese robot baby. Just don't bring it around to my place! Have a good weekend.

Kate Moss just released the second instalment of her clothes range for Topshop. Above are a couple of shots of the summer range- nipples and all.
The white dress is kind of cool, but that swirly beige top in the last photo- yuk! Looks like something you'd find as part of Sussan's summer line... and having just looked at Sussan's website, I reckon saying that is probably an insult to them. Think I'm going to have to find another cheap women's clothing shop to draw offensive comparisons to. Any ideas?

Featuring Australia's very own, Gemma Ward, these recent magazine ads for Dolce and Gabbana apparently caused controversy, only in Britain, for their supposed glorification of violence. Here's what went down-
"The Advertising Standards Authority said the company acted irresponsibly and breached standards of good taste in publishing the ads, which showed male models waving knives while surrounded by glamorous women models, in poses inspired by the paintings of French romantic artist Eugene Delacroix. One man was shown lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head. The independent authority, which regulates the industry, issued the report after 166 people complained that two ads, which appeared in The Times and Daily Telegraph last October, glorified knife and gun crime."
How ridiculous. What are they worried about? Do they think kids are going to dress up in 16th century outfits, purchase antique guns and terrorize neighbourhoods? But then I guess you never know what could happen- I went to see Marie Antoinette and for days after all I wanted to do was laze around and feed cake to the poor!
Shhheesh, idiots! Some people shouldn't be allowed to read magazines.

You may remember that Georgie mentioned how cute she thought model Brad Kroenig was in her post about the Chanel Cruise line from last week. Well it turns out that she shares more in common with Karl Lagerfeld than just an eating disorder. It appears that Karl also has a big crush on young Brad. I just read this in an German newspaper-
"Fashion designer and photographer Karl Lagerfeld is showing an exhibition of 350 photos and installations in Berlin, all focused on a single person: model Brad Kroenig. Intimate but anonymous, the pictures show an all-American boy who's also cool and sexy."
The photos will also make up a book that Karl is releasing soon through his own publishing house.
I think we might have our new model of the month. What do you think?

A friend of Tom and mine is currently living in London and posted this very amusing story on my myspace today... Old Pete v v funny!
shellA
31 May 2007 2:39 P How funny is this? My friend was at Spitafields markets today (antique day) and she picked up a purse. She put it down for a moment and Pete Doherty grabbed it and she said to him she was about to buy it. But he was like bad luck! They argued and he walked away with the purse. It was a toad skin purse, with the real toads head as the clasp. Perhaps we will see Kate sporting it soon?
