Bar Refaeli Gets Naked And Inked For Esquire Cover

Susannah BreslinJune 2, 2009 //

Spring must have sprung. Everybody’s getting naked! Especially when it comes to the covers of magazines. Yesterday, it was Miranda Kerr stripping down and chaining herself to a tree to save the koalas on the cover of Rolling Stone. Today, it’s Bar Refaeli taking it all off for the July issue of Esquire, her body painted with the contents of the magazine. The 23-year-old Israeli model is the girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio and the host of MTV’s most recent reincarnation of “House of Style.” I think the cover’s pretty awesome; it reminds me of “The Pillow Book,” in which bodies get turned into books. But what about you: Have you ever posed naked? [HuffPo] Keep reading »

“House Of Style” Returns, Sucks

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 23, 2009 //

I tuned in at 3pm sharp this Saturday to catch the debut of the NEW “House Of Style,” quite possibly my favorite relic of MTV’s days of yore.

The Return Of “House Of Style”

Annika HarrisMarch 21, 2009 //

We knew we had pretty much outgrown MTV when the network took on its “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” format — hello, “Cribs” and “My Super Sweet 16.” But we’ll totally tune in today at 3 pm when MTV puts a new spin on “House of Style.” You remember…that really cool style show, which helped keep Todd Oldham’s career afloat and was hosted by seemingly every popular ’90s model, like Cindy Crawford and Shalom Harlow. This time around, MTV is partnering with Teen Vogue to explore street and runway fashion. Host Bar Rafaeli, Teen Vogue editors, and Chanel Iman will countdown the must-have fashions for spring. And the DIY segment is still a part of the show, but you have to tune in on time in order to catch it. We’re hoping this show doesn’t completely exclude adult fashion and that we’ll be able to reinterpret teen styles. Let us know in the comments what you think of this remake.
