Why My Ex…Rules?

Amelia McDonell-ParryJune 8, 2009 //

After you’ve been dumped it’s pretty easy to think up things that sucked about your ex. Why My Ex Sucks wants you to “condense your bitterness” into three reasons why your ex is the worst and submit them for public enjoyment. Some of the greatest include:

“He had a twisted relationship with his twin sister. He referred to her as ‘his girlfriend.’”

“He was so dumb that at one point he thought I made up both the names ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Shakespeare.’”

“When we broke up and I kicked him out, he proceeded uninstall and steal our toilet.”

All of this makes for loads of amusement, but you know what’s harder, and possibly even more therapeutic in, like, a healthy way, than coming up with three awful things about your ex? Coming up with three ways in which they totally ruled. My ex and I used to play a game called “Look at the things I’ve brought into your life,” in which we’d list random fun stuff we introduced each other to. For example, thanks to me, my ex is now a Democrat, got to go to Carnival in Trinidad, and eats green vegetables with some frequency. I attempt to return the positivity, after the jump… Keep reading »

Quick Pic: Some Jumpsuits Should Have Been Left In The ’90s

Annika HarrisJune 8, 2009 //

Heidi Klum wore a paisley jumpsuit to the carnival to benefit Pediatric AIDS. The jumpsuit conceals her growing baby bump, but the pant legs are too wide. And although she looks radiant, the rest of her looks like a blob. This definitely isn’t her best look. [Los Angeles, 6/8/09] Keep reading »

Costume Designers Dish About Chuck Bass and Don Draper

Jessica WakemanJune 8, 2009 //

“To me, to pick the right blouse with the right sensibility feels in some ways like art. I’m an artist, but I’m painting with clothes.”

That’s totally the sort of obtuse thing Karl Lagerfeld would say, but it’s actually a quote from Eric Daman, the costume designer for “Gossip Girl.” Good, because we’d expect nothing less than putting Michaelangelo-esque precision into dressing Chuck Bass!

The New York Times‘s Television section [interviewed costume designers from hit shows like “Gossip Girl” and “Mad Men” and shook them down for some secrets. Our favorites after the jump… Keep reading »

New Low-Visibility Sunglasses Are Very Kanye-Like

Leonora EpsteinJune 8, 2009 //

Ruh-roh, looks like someone is giving Kanye a run for his money with these uber-loud specs. The man behind the frames is StevieBoi. Do you know who StevieBoi is? We didn’t either until just now, but apparently he’s kind of a big deal. He’s hoping these low-visibility sunglasses become all the rage in clubwear. Take your pick—look like a poser in black-and-silver checks (“Checkerboard Shine”), or look like a bigger douche in shiny gold with a zipper across the top of the rims (“Gold Zipems”). It’s probably a good thing the glasses have only 80 percent visibility because you won’t be able to see how bad you look, or worse, the bad looks people give you.

See the guy above? In stock image fantasy land, he is my boyfriend. I don’t know his name, or even where he’s from, but I have seen what he looks like when he’s bundled up for winter, watching sports with the guys, celebrating a sad birthday party, and on his way to ring in the New Year. Stock image models may never become household names, but they’re still mighty fine and hardly generic. Keep clicking for more of these anonymous hotties.

Camel Ammo Fights Camel Toe

SimchaJune 8, 2009 //

Camel toe has stepped up its presence across America since leggings are back in style and tighter than ever. Instead of just switching back to pants, people keep coming up with ways to smooth things over. First, there was the
Cuchini, and now there’s Camel Ammo! For 10 bucks, you can get a pink camo print U-shaped disc that slips right into the cotton flap in the crotch of your panties, which prevents your lady bits from going toe up. Plus, it’s machine washable! Clever, sure, as is the Camel Ammo slogan, “Waging war on the front lines.” But maybe the real problem here isn’t the fabric lip stick, it’s giving women more excuses to continue to wear the fashions that show camel toe. So, just for the record, ladies: tights are still not pants. [Trendhunter]

Does The World Need Princesses? Hell Yeah!

Annika HarrisJune 8, 2009 //

There’s been quite a bit of controversy surrounding Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog,” which, for the first time in Disney’s 70-year history, stars a black princess. First her name was too stereotypically slave-like, so it was changed from Maddie to Tiana. Then the blogosphere was in an uproar because Princess Tiana has a racially-ambiguous love interest who has lighter skin.

Now a not-so new debate has come up about whether little girls should be indoctrinated into the princess culture in the first place. Blogger Monique Fields, who has daughters ages 2 and 4, at The Root questions the impact of princess values and ideals, preferring a healthy dose of reality for young women to counteract this fantasy.

Bring Back 1997 With Floral Doc Martens

Leonora EpsteinJune 8, 2009 //

When my parents moved me from NYC to a small Massachusetts town in third grade, I instantly became the weird kid, owed largely to these floral-printed Docs. They were loud and flashy, especially because I wore them with a poodle skirt and ruffled blouse. This scared the living daylights out of Sleepytown, USA. (I also listened to Madonna. The horror!) If only being “unique” was that simple these days by just wearing a pair of crazy boots.

Still, you can now try your best at being a style standout by getting your hands on a pair through Urban Outfitters. The iconic Doc Martens 8-eye boot comes in two patterns: choose from a white background with pink and blue flowers, or black with purple and peach buds. Don’t think you can fade into the crowd with these babies. They’re made for stomping out the competition. [$128, Dr. Martens, Urban Outfitters]

Michelle Obama And Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Like To Coordinate Outfits

Catherine StrawnJune 8, 2009 //

During the Obamas’ weekend trip to France, Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the two most stylish first ladies we know, got to hang out for the second time. The two don’t seem to want to outdo one another in the style department, and I have a hunch they coordinate their outfits when they make public appearances together. On their first meeting, both wore tie-neck coats (left). On Friday, they appeared at a ceremony at the Prefecture of Caen in belted white dresses. Coincidence? I think not. Keep reading »
