We love watching supermodel Iman totally put fashion designers in their place on Bravo’s “The Fashion Show” — and it’s clear from her incredible fashion choices that she’s more than qualified for the job. Sure, it helps that she’s been a style icon for decades, and one of the most beautiful women in the world, but even so, Iman’s clothes reflect the perfect combination of classic and daring. Like this outfit she wore to the 2010 CDFA Awards, which mixes classic tailoring with feather detailing.

After the jump, nine more incredible Iman looks.

Julie GersteinNovember 12, 2010 //


What do you need when you’re feeling sick? According to indie band Of Montreal on this episode of “Yo Gabba Gabba,” all it takes to get back on your feet is bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. A weirdo combo, for sure, but Of Montreal-approved. And we’ll do whatever Of Montreal singer Kevin Barnes tells us. [Vimeo] Keep reading »

Portia De Rossi Might Be Part Of A “Dancing With The Stars” Same-Sex Dance Couple

Julie GersteinNovember 12, 2010 //

If you’ve been missing a weekly dose of Portia de Rossi — and her harrowing new memoir, Unbearable Lightness, isn’t enough — then it might just be your lucky day. It seems openly gay Portia is at the top of the list of stars that producers of “Dancing With the Stars” are hoping to get for a new same-sex dancing couple. Insane multitasker Ryan Seacrest leaked the news to Portia on his radio show earlier this week, surprising her. She said she wouldn’t rule it out. “I’m not gonna pass, let me think about it,” she said. “I used to be a ballet dancer. It’s not completely a pass. You never know.” If she does choose to appear on “DWTS,” she’ll be following openly gay Israeli sportscaster Gili Shem Tov, who danced in a same-sex match on the Israeli version of the show. Would you like to see Portia on “Dancing With the Stars”? [Fox News] Keep reading »

For Fat, Head to Mississippi

Julie GersteinNovember 12, 2010 //

Aside from being one of the hardest states to spell, Mississippi is also the fattest state. At least according to the folks over at CalorieLab, who calculated the rankings based on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System database maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Around 33.8 percent of Mississippi’s adult population is obese. The thinnest state is Colorado, where only 19.2 percent of the population is obese. Not surprisingly, the biggest pocket of “thin” states is in the Western half of the country. California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico and Wyoming all had less than 26 percent obesity.

Pee-Wee, In The Phone Book

Julie GersteinNovember 12, 2010 //

Finally, a new use for the Yellow Pages! Philadelphia artist Alex Querel thought canvas was too dull a medium to work with—so he took to carving phone books to make his photo-realistic portraits of notorious celebs. Says Querel, “In carving and painting a head from a phone directory, I’m celebrating the individual lost in the anonymous list of thousands of names that describe the size of the community. In addition, I like the idea of creating something that is normally discarded every year into an object of longevity.” [Projects Gallery] Keep reading »

Catsworthy in his special United Bamboo tailored jacket. You can order the 2011 version of the calendar via their site — and we highly recommend you do. After all, what’s better than 12 full months of totally mortified cats in clothing? [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »

Do You Ever Wish You Could Totally Change Careers?

Julie GersteinNovember 11, 2010 //

If you could make a radical career change, would you? If you’re like Chad Hurley, the guy who founded YouTube, you absolutely would. Hurley founded YouTube in 2005 and sold it to Google for an astronomical $1.76 billion in 2006, so he could choose to sit around and burn money all day if he wanted to. Instead, he founded Hlaska clothing company, a menswear clothing company, because he saw a hole in the market. “It really just comes down to trusting your instincts and creating things that you’d use yourself,” he said.

Yet Another Disappointing Harassment Case In The Finance World

Julie GersteinNovember 11, 2010 //

Oh look, it’s another sex scandal rocking the finance world. A group of 17 Irish accountants at PricewaterhouseCoopers are under fire after passing around a document which ranked the top 10 most attractive women in the office. As these things go, the original email made its way out of the office and into the papers, and is now a national scandal in Ireland. The emails list each woman’s full name, department and contact information, and repeatedly treat the women as (no surprise) objects. Keep reading »
