Unkle Karl- Pic Of The Week

It has been a while since we had our last Unkle Karl pic of the week. But he's back... warts and all... (well, I'm sure moments after this photo was taken he broke out in a severe case of them).

Karl- "Yes, yes I know I'm your hero, inspiration, guiding light in an otherwise bleak world, but I really would prefer if you'd display your affection in a less physical manner. Perhaps with a curtsey. Yes, that would be best. I really do hate to think where those filthy lips have been. I can't imagine the amount of toilet seat lids they've brushed past in a desperate attempt to lick up every last morsel of coke. And is that one of my gloves you're wearing?"

Lindsay- "Oh my god, it totally is! I took it from your closet this afternoon, I hope you don't mind?"

Karl- "How you got in to my house is more of a concern. Did you at least soak your hands in the basin of antiseptic that was sitting next to the ottoman before you slipped your filthy fingers into them?"

Lindsay- "WHAT?! I'm such a retard, I thought that was bourbon you'd left out for your dog. I like drank THE WHOLE THING!!!!! I'm probably internally bleeding as we speak. Whoopsy! That's a story to tell in my next group session!"

Mannequin was it Simon Doonan's inspiration?

I just re-watched a childhood favourite 'Mannequin', and it suddenly dawned on me the amazing Visual Merchandiser aka 'Hollywood' creates awe inspiring windows for the store Fritz and Company. Is this where Simon Doonan (creative genius at Barney's) first got his taste for great windows?

So many things to love about this film- Kim Cattrall's clothes, Andrew McCarthy being adorable and naive ahh the list goes on!

Cunty Cunts From Cuntsulvania.

Vivienne Westwood, her husband (Andreas Kronthaler) and Pamela Anderson all cunting it up for the cameras in the latest Westwood campaign.

Would this not have been the funnest shoot to be on? I wanna push Pamela Anderson in a laundry trolley. Please can I!? Pretty Please! That's Juergen Teller for you. He's not happy unless someone is stuffed in something.

If only he'd shot the latest Katie Holmes Miu Miu campaign. He could have stuffed her in a suitcase and sent her back to Capeside!

More pics of Pam and her tities here.

The other Marc

As all you readers know, we at youwish... have what you could call a bit of a man crush on one Marc Jacobs, well were cheating on our No.1 because this post is about another Marc.

Marc Newson, the all talented super Australian designer; everything he touches turns to gold. Picture collaborations with Qantas, GSTAR you name it. Newson’s designs can be seen in numerous important public and private collections, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, the Design Museum, London, and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and the Pompidou Center in Paris.

The latest project for Marc is some really cool timepieces from Ikepod and will be available in red gold and platinum, I think I will sell my Mum to get one!

For the love of LOVA

LOVA are a new fashion label I've been seeing everywhere lately. Based in LA, LOVA are the brain child of these 3 dudes; one of whom is the younger brother of my friend Yana. Yana just moved to LA to live with her bro and sent me an update on how the brand is going. Apparently they're getting bigger than Lindsay Lohan's face with a serious case of 'coke bloat'. Orders are coming in from all over the world to stock the brand and they've been getting some great press.

Good luck to them. Can't wait to see there stuff at the Barney's.

Gemma Ward's Movie Debut

The trailer for the new film starring (well, not really, but she is in it) Gemma Ward has just been released. You can see her in the last shot wearing a scary-arse mask and also hear her behind the door saying "you're gonna die!".

The model to movie star route is a tricky one ... I don't know if she can pull it off. Not many have. I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer, all I'm saying is be careful. The world definitely doesn't need another one of these...

Hedi Slimane's Diary

What I learnt from Hedi Slimane's photo diary-

1. He likes Amy Winehouse and Courtney Love.

2. He likes flowers and broken glass.

3. He's an awesome photographer.

4. Everything looks better in black and white.


Check it out here (there's over 500 photos in his full catalogue).

Oh my! Sean Connery

When Sean Connery was making the 1974 sci-fi movie Zardoz, do you think there was ever a moment where he thought to himself "if I die today, this is the last image of me that the world will ever see... maybe I should put on a dressing gown?"

By the brazen pose he's holding in this photo, it appears not.

But what's even more curious about this photo is, is this is what they thought we'd be wearing in the future? Is this the best the costume designer could come up with? I mean the boots are strangely close (if not a little long) to ones I've seen girls of the present wearing, but that nappy like holster thing...well that's just over estimating the extent of global warming if you ask me. That thing is completely impractical, unless of course you live on a salt plain in the middle of the Arizona desert(as it appears Sean does). And from what I can tell it's constructed of very flimsy material. The costume designer sure had a grim view of manufacturing standards of the future. Apparently zips and belts are out of the question, just tie it all together in a knot!

Wonder if he'll ever make a sequel? I'd pay a fortune to see Zardos 2- Return of the Nappy Warrior!

Photoshop Fantastic

Oh the wonders of Photoshop! Where would the world's celebrities be without it? And more to the point where would ol' Faith Hill be? Presumably in an ad for Dove, if the amount of airbrushing she's received to grace the cover of RedBook magazine is any indication.

I love that the bi-line for the story on her and her husband is 'What's normal about them (and what's not)'. I assume the answer to the second part of that statement is 'her hideously wrinkled face, so unforgivably decrepit it must never be unleashed on the fragile public without first being cleaned up by a highly skilled retoucher!'

Click here to see what they did do make Hill acceptable for public consumption.

Jaw Face Knightly To Face Chanel

Ok so first it was Fergie, then it was the girl from Harry Potter and now it's Keira Knightly. Sheessh I can't keep up.

The 22-year-old has reportedly struck an initial £0.5m ($1m) deal with the French fashion house, says the Daily Mail.

According to a company's spokesman, the actress is "perfect" as the
new face because of her "seductive" looks that fit well to portray a "timeless chic".

"We think Keira is perfect because she is always incredibly alluring and seductive," the spokesman said.

She joins Nicole Kidman, Catherine Deneuve and Vanessa Paradis as Chanel faces.

I'm very disappointed in Karl. Of all the billions of women in the world why Keira?! I could find you a piece of belly button fluff with more charisma than her. "I'm sorry Keira but you are no longer in the running to be America's next top model...now get the fuck out of my sight chompy!"
