Fashion Slideshow: Winter Coats
Wearing a fabulous new coat is the best part about the weather getting colder. If you live in a climate that is freezing or moderately chilly most of the year, then your coat is what people will notice about you first. I know it’s kind of sad, but that chic outfit you have covered up will play second fiddle to your outerwear. So why not let your coat be a fashion statement all on its own? Winter coats have gone way beyond the humdrum, functional wool peacoat of the past. This season look for bright colors, plaid or herringbone. And designers are even adding details like puff-sleeves, drop-waists and ruffles to make coats stand out. If you live in a particularly cold area, No. 10 proves that even a down puffer can be stylish. Bonus: all the coats in this slideshow cost $250 or less. Keep reading »
Who Is Daniel Craig, Anyway?
Before Daniel Craig came along, I could honestly give two craps about James Bond and his stupid 007. Sean Connery thinks that it’s okay to slap a woman, Pierce Brosnan seems kind of smarmy to me, and I have no clue who Roger Moore or Timothy Dalton is. But then I heard rumors of a darker, meaner, SEXIER Bond and I was totally intrigued. And my instinct was right. I’m just gonna say it, Bond Nerds — Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Connery. In fact, I think he is better. Go ahead, crucify me, but before you do that, here’s all the info I could dig up on the British heartthrob. Keep reading »

(Don’t) Leave Britney Alone!
“bruce buchanan” from Quick Pic: Should Britney Spears Buy These Sunglasses?
There’s a new Chris Crocker on the Internet! When we spotted Britney trying on some wayfarer sunglasses, we decided to play gal pal and asked you guys to give her a yay or nay on buying the frames. What did our friend Bruce say? “britney rules she is the best girl and entertainer ever,bruce.”
Whoa, hope Aretha Franklin doesn’t read this. She’s already pissed at Tina Turner for getting called the Queen! Keep reading »
Crave: “I Voted” Hello Kitty T-Shirt
These have been some serious times lately. We’re at war, our economy is down the toilet and now we have to choose our next president. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun on election day. Since you can’t wear any partisan paraphernalia at a polling site (it’s viewed as campaigning), we suggest you wear this whimsical Hello Kitty T-shirt, instead. The famous character shows her red, white and blue pride on a hockey-style tee with a vintage wash. And the “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For Hello Kitty” slogan gives you an excuse if your actual candidate falls short of his promises. [$19, Alloy] Keep reading »

Gossip Girl: This Was A Straight Up Filler Episode
Every television show needs to have that filler episode that addresses the obvious issues that are going to come up, particularly in the case of “Gossip Girl” — Where can they all go to college in order to continue the show? Just like “Beverly Hills, 90210″ and “Dawson’s Creek”, we’re sure creator Josh Schwartz is already worried about how to move his show about high school to the next natural step — college. However, last night’s episode of “Gossip Girl” was highly unrealistic and missing that certain je ne sais quoi that gets me all revved up for Monday nights. Keep reading »
Five Signs Levi Johnston Might Not Be Ready For Parenthood
Levi Johnston has been laying low since his big appearance at the Republican National Convention, but, at last, he speaks! Levi had a chat with the Associated Press the other day while standing in his parents’ driveway, saying he isn’t being forced to marry Bristol Palin, and that he’s “looking forward to having him” — the “him” in question is his baby with Bristol, due Dec. 18. But some of the things mentioned in the AP article got us thinking about whether he’s really ready for fatherhood.
- He’s Forgetful: While some might say Levi getting Bristol’s name tattooed on his finger is a really sweet sign of his devotion to her, he really did it because he lost the promise ring she had given him and thought he’d lose other rings if he replaced it. So, he might lose other important things, like his child.
Thoughts From Guys On Our IM: The Appeal Of High-Maintenance Women
I watched “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” this weekend and was blown away by the rampant materialism, excess, and over-the-top maintenance enjoyed by the stars of the show. Most of the women are married, or have boyfriends, who revel in their traditional feminine shallowness, and while these women may be EXTREME examples, I have often noticed that some of the most pain-in-the-ass women I know have nice, normal, sweet guys dying at their feet. IS there an appeal to high-maintenance women? And what the hell is it? Do I need to spend three hours getting ready to go to the gym in order to find a nice new man these days? I chatted up the guys on my IM to find out. Keep reading »
Cheapskate: Alloy’s Casual Clothes Aren’t Just For Tweens And Teens
