Pretension has a new name

Starts with Sass, ends in Bide.

I don't know why Sarah-Jane Clarke and (especially) Heidi Middleton rub me up the wrong way. There's just something about these skinny bitches that makes my teeth hurt.

Perhaps it's because in this Q and A with Aussie Vogue she lists Kirsten Dunst as who she'd most like to dress.

"We love her free spirited nature and inner beauty"

says Heidi, as I try to keep down the vomit and unstoppable rage that is desperately trying to expel itself from my body!

Read on for more gems and insights from this little lady.

Luella does cute 80's dresses in NY!

Flouncy 80s dresses were dolled-up in bright, bold colours, from fuchsia and bright rose pink to aqua, deep purple and burnt mustard, while waisted silhouettes came either as bustiers with full ra-ra skirts or strapless and tulip-shaped.

Magazine Monday

In this regular Monday feature we will shine the youwishyoulookedthisgood.com spotlight on new issues of mags that have just come out. Today we feature Bust and Blackbook.
Magazines that start with the letter B are so tres chic right now...

So is the whole 'issue' concept- 'The Love issue, The drug issue, The green issue, The issues issue.' Enough issues already! Gwen Stefani understands.
Naomi Watts scrubs up alright.

The native Australian, struggled for years in Hollywood before she got her break in Mulholland Drive.

Now she's a superstar on the cover of magazines proclaiming (completely out of context) that 'Life's too short!' I don't care how famous you are Naomi, get some context. It's terribly confusing for us mere mortals to have to decipher you're contextless comments.
I mean who does that? I know I couldn't get away with just randomly shouting contextless statements to anyone who'd listen. I'm sure I'd receive very stern looks if I walked up to the first person I saw on the street and proclaimed to their face, "Home is where the heart is!" or "Get with the program!"
It's very unnecessary Naomi. Very unnecessary.

Phoebe Philo

Rumour has it, that fashion darling Phoebe Philo may be launching her own line, almost exactly one year after leaving fashion house Chloe! Stay tuned peeps, this could be GOLD! I wonder what Stella would be thinking, by the way Stella will be in Australia to launch her collection in Melbourne in March- tres excitement!

While N.Y. Fashion week is happening, Gemma Ward is in Australia shooting a movie. Before she left she answered 21 questions for the New York magazine. If you've ever wondered who she thinks should be president and what's her favourite medicine, then you have WAY too much time on your hands, but you'll probably love this interview.

New York Fashion Week- The Box

Above is a video of the most exclusive club in Manhattan, 'The Box'. Apparently this is the only place to be seen this New York fashion week. It's so friggen cool, the only sign that it exists is the 'shiny new' post office box out the front.

This is just the sort of place Georgie and I belong at. We won't go to any club you don't have to dig, crawl, swim or climb to get to. No one said being cool was easy...

Check out this interesting article on The Box and also the whole week.

NY Fashion week- Toni Maticevski

Melbourne's own Toni Maticevski, had his international debut at New York Fashion week yesterday. And I have to say he made quite the entrance...

Below is my rap up of the highlights, lowlights and the 'did you have any lights on when you were making that thing?'

THE GOOD Hot...

Hotter...

Hottest...

Bitch sustained 3rd degree burns to her entire body.

THE BAD

It's not that I think this is fundamentally ugly. I mean if I saw someone out wearing it, I'd probably think they were friggin awesome for been so bold. Although I imagine it might be hard for them to go a night without been mistaken for a time traveller straight off the set of Dynasty.

The rope belt is an interesting choice though. It's like the model is saying 'I've finally made it, but I haven't forgotten where I came from' (that been a small shack in Hicksville USA, where she shared a bed with 14 siblings and stayed warm by crowding around a fire in a 10 gallon barrel.)

Son- "Mum put some clothes on, my friends are here!"

Mother (Said in a deep southern accent)- "My deeear son, your friends will have to get to KNOW the feee-male figure if they ever wish to satisfy a WOMAN!"

If 'fur is murder', then a jacket made out of the roadkill from the entire Eastern freeway is a crime punishable by anal electrocution!

THE UGLY
Good lord! It's like it's a cross between a decorative doll on top of a girl's 1oth birthday cake and one of those satin jumpsuits you wear when using a simulated sky diving machine. A strong gust of wind and she'll be off!

Toni's inspiration for this dress was every 1950's quilt my Nana had saved in her cupboard for 'special guests'. He's then thrown it onto an unsuspecting model and tied a belt around her waist to hold the whole thing together. At least she can take a nap no matter where she is.

New York Fashion Week...

Super talented and personal fave New Zealand designer Karen Walker showed a collection in New York yesterday that centred around a 1930's comic book character that leads a double life.

How great would a double life be? That would mean you could shop and drink twice as much, right?

(Stay tuned for more NY Fashion Week updates...)
