This one's for Georgie



Georgie often gets mistaken for Tori Spelling(I kid, I kid, you're way more Gabrielle Carteris) so when I found this clip on Youtube I just had to post it.

I never realised how much prettierTori Spelling sounds when she's voiced by Greek tranny. Love it.

Raunchy or Wrong?

This is a new feature for youwish... in which we take a look at some famous fashion ad campaigns that pushed the boundaries of taste and censorship. Below are a couple of examples that caused a stir when they were released.

This Gucci ad caused such an uproar when it was released in 2003, that I think it even made the 6 o'clock news. I don't know what the big fuss is all about- we all have rude bits... don't we? The world isn't going to explode because a model flashes a bit of nip, or pubic hair in the pages of W magazine. But anyway, that's just my opinion, what do you think?


And then there is this ad for YSL, from 2004... It's not so much, pushing bourndries, as ripping them in half and then pissing all over them. But I'm not complaining, it's against my religion to ever talk badly about naked male models.

Prince- The Fragrance

According to WWD, Revelations Perfume and Cosmetics Inc is to develop and market 3121, a premium fragrance collection for superstar musician Prince. Created in conjunction with the artist, it is described as an "enticing scent that captures the essence of his eclectic style and music genius".

The white floral scent, which launches in July, comes in a bottle reminiscent of emerald-cut diamonds, while a full front panel has a raised 22-carat gold 3121 decoration.

How can a scent capture the "eclectic style and music genius" of a person? It 's a fragrance, not a DNA sample! What's in it... a mix of purple velvet pants, eyeliner, thin moustache wax and piano keys?

Chanel Cruise Line

The new Chanel Cruise line showed in New York this week and it all and all, it was a great looking range, and the models weren't too shabby either!


This is gorgeous,
love the blue and red.

"I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates."
He can rollerskate to my place anytime he likes!

How cute is this model Brad Koenig? Nice choice Karl!

After the party, celeb's from all walks of life celebrated the launch with Karl and his fancy jet.



Lindsey and Karl compete for the title of 'Biggest Sluts' of the night, while French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld brings the shredded cape back into fashion, Chan Marshal aka Cat Power (who perfomed on the night) takes her mini-pig for a walk and Posh... well... poses.



Demi Moore continues to defy nature by not aging, Ashley Olsen shows off an auto-erotic-exfixiation number while Mary-Kate jumps off her broom stick, just in time for a photo, and Jessica Alba puts us to sleep with her perfection.

High Waisted Horror

I hate to dis an Aussie brand, but sometimes it's necessary. I mean I'm as patriotic to our Aussie fashion brands as Nicole Kidman is to her apparent quest to slowly disappear (seriously, every photo I've seen of her lately she looks skinnier and whiter than the last- I fear she's slowly evaporating) but sometimes one needs to forget their heritage and be honest. And after seeing this photo, I believe now is one of those times. What the hell is going on with these bathers from Zimmermann? I hate to be all 'fashionable' but their was a good reason the high-waisted look disappeared for so long. It's ugly and hides the body. And unless you can play the human xylophone with yours ribs, it's also very unflattering.

But besides that obvious flaw, I still don't know what's going on here. The inspiration for these bathers is really alluding me. They're kind of Art deco, kind of 60's 'Psycho Beach Party' and they also kind of make me think of a shower curtain, what with all those metallic holes. I just don't know where to place them (besides in the discount bin) in the spectrum of bathers. Which would make them very difficult to sell if I owned a swimwear shop... which likely for Zimmermann I don't!

And what's with the models lips? She looks like she was sucking oranges before she walked onto the runway. Clearly from the despondent look on her face, she's about as happy with the bathers as we are. But can you really blame her? Bathers fashioned out of hairless rats would look better than these things.

Chanel- the Movie

It has been confirmed that Audrey Tatou will play Coco Chanel in the upcoming movie on her life.It was originally touted to be Demi Moore who would be playing Coco, but I think Audrey is a much better fit for the role. I hope the movie will be in French not English- how cool would it be if Karl Lagerfeld had a cameo??!!

Check out these awesome shots featured in the latest U.S GQ of Jessica Alba shot by none other than fashion photog Terry Richardson.

Could she scream 'SEX' any louder? She must have like a 1000 stalkers. She's so hot she could make Elton John give up cock... for at least a week.

Plot to kill the queen

The Herald Sun is reporting that an accused rapist planned to murder Anna Wintour. First Karl and now Anna. Man, it sure is tough at the top.

(I'm having trouble getting that link below to work, so just click on the headline of the post, and it will take you to the full article.)

Anna Wintour, the legendarily frosty and demanding editor-in-chief of style guide American Vogue, was allegedly intended as a victim of accused kidnapper Peter Braunstein.
The New York Post revealed that Braunstein ranted in a personal manifesto, read to a court, about killing Wintour.
He wrote: "So I'll tell you why I'm going to kill Anna Wintour -- because I just feel like it."
Braunstein, a former fashion writer, has admitted dressing as a New York firefighter and setting off two homemade smoke bombs to trick his way into a co-worker's apartment on Halloween, October 31, 2005.
He has confessed to holding a gun to the victim's head, drugging her with chloroform, and then stripping her and binding her to her bed.
Wearing a black ski mask, he then raped her over a 13-hour period in her Chelsea apartment in New York.
His defence team argues the acts were committed unintentionally because of his severe mental illness.
Braunstein was earlier sacked as a fashion media critic for Women's Wear Daily after causing a fuss when he found he'd received only one ticket to the Vogue Fashion Awards.
Braunstein penned his manifesto in the months leading up to the attack on his co-worker at Fairchild Publications.
The New York Post reported that no details of Braunstein's were disclosed in court, apart from his saying that Wintour's death was to be up close and personal.
Wintour is widely believed to have been the inspiration for the fashion editor in The Devil Wears Prada, a character played in the hit film by Meryl Streep.
The Post said that according to parts of the manifesto, read aloud in the jury's absence in Manhattan Supreme Court, Braunstein wrote that just shooting Wintour would be "too impersonal".
Braunstein also reportedly celebrated late '70s serial killer Son of Sam (David Berkowitz) and the Columbine High School shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
The New York Post said that Braunstein had also admired Andrew Cunanan for his 1997 Miami Beach murder of fashion designer Gianni Versace.
And he even applauded fictional killer Hannibal Lecter as an important criminal literary figure "because of his intellect".
Last week, jurors also heard about Braunstein's loathing for Wintour, the Post reported.
He wrote that she "just never talked to peons like us . . . It was beneath her. And all the while I'm thinking 'Who is this skank?' "
He said she played up a "let them eat cake" Marie Antoinette-style regal attitude, but "all she does is edit a magazine -- that's it. So what's with the royalty routine?"
Braunstein also wrote: "Wintour will be escorted by eunuchs to a place in Hell run entirely by large rats. Even Satan can't get in there, because he and the rats had a falling-out a couple of millennia ago.
"The rats, apparently, are unionised and Satan tried to break the union; there's been a lot of bad blood ever since."
The trial continues.

WTF?! That shit is crazy. At least the people who wanted to kidnap Karl Lagerfeld had a purpose. This guy is just nuts. But I'm sure Anna has dealt with enough nut jobs in her time... she does work in the fashion industry.
