Marc Moves On

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.

Mo Money, Mo Ugly

The International Herald Tribune has a great article about how luxury brands are raising the bar with items worth more than the GDP of most small African countries. The hideous patchwork handbag, by Louis Vuitton, is made up of old handbags from the brand. At a price tag of $40,000, this thing makes no sense whatsoever. Don't poor people, who can't afford to buy new clothes, make patchwork pants and blankets out of their old clothes? Since when did recycled fashion become so expensive?

Remember that ad for the Yellow Pages where that animated monster would eat all the old books? Well, if there was a fashion version of him, this hand bag is what he'd throw up if he got gastro.

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.

Model of the Month

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.
