Unemployment coupled with the guilt of receiving cash handouts can do wondrous things to the mind. During one of my father’s lectures on self-sufficiency, he suggested I find someone to share my apartment with until I found a job...Unemployment coupled with the guilt of receiving cash handouts can do wondrous things... more

These girls are the "ones to watch" on the runways this season in NYC, as per WWD.
“Like sands through the hourglass…so are the Days of Our Lives.” Truer words have ne’er been spoken and they also apply to the fashion industry. I mean…who doesn’t squeeze their sorry ass into a tight fitting pair of jeans, leggings or jeggings these days in the hopes of feeling as thin as the models that sashay down the runways. Maybe my comparison is a stretch (as in Spandex). Mercedes Benz Fashion Week kicks off today and someone, somewhere is squeezing into their DLs, throwing on their tight, fitted, cropped jacket with gobs of accessories, readying to make an entrance at Milk Studios or Lincoln Center. Style expert, Mary Alice Stephenson was quoted recently, “Think it’s time to bring back boobs on the runways! All these skinny girls at fashion week castings….. Boring!!!” Well, having just done a casting, I pushed for the one model who had great boobs but it was an uphill battle. Rather than having to fight the fight, the good news is, the girl got snapped up for another job…so..kudos Katie. The girls pictured above, Dempsey Stewart, Wang Xiao, Merethe Hopland, are WWD‘s “ones to watch” this season on the catwalks. And there ain’t a boob among them, or even if you combined all six together. Granted, these girls are A-dorable, but the ongoing battle of the bulge will always be won by the girls that look more like these pixies, rather than Lara Stone.

I know, I fooled you (unless you looked at that carefully hidden picture above). No no, it's not Vera Wang, silly, but arch-rival and name-thief Alexander Wang, who was was nominated for a 2008 Council of Fashion Designers of America in Womens' Wear AND won a $200,000 prize as the CDFA/Vogue (magazine) Fashion Fund Award winner. Maybe not such a sloppy second.
But wait. Whichever Wang it was that got the GAP job was a woeful Wang. They made the poor sod redesign their Khaki collection. That's like saying, "Hmm, the dust in the corner's looking a bit messy, please rearrange it."
Ah well, I'm sure it'll fly off the shelves like any other range that has a hint of actual designer to it.I know, I fooled you (unless you looked at that carefully hidden picture above). No... more

February 14th will be a big day for a lot of people this year. Not only will it be a day of love for most, it is also the date of Alexander Wang's fashion show (for Fashion Week), and the debut of his limited-edition condom, Proper Attire, designed in collaboration with Planned Parenthood. These designer rubbers will be sold at Thompson Hotels and online with all profits going to Planned Parenthood.
Wondering if it is the packaging that is going to be fancy, or is it the actual condom that will be? If it is designer maybe you don't want to even use it, just blow it up and hang it on your wall or something?February 14th will be a big day for a lot of people this year.
