Run, run as fast as you can … to the nearest newsstand to get the Dec. 5, 2011, issue of Life & Style. Why? Because you have to keep up with Kim Kardashian‘s divorce, of course. Then there’s the Ashton Kutcher/Demi Moore divorce. But, more importantly, you can see my swear rings on page 53!…

Here a Mullet, There a Mullet, Everywhere a Mullet
Since my multiple posts on high/low hemlines, aka mullets, I’ve been seeing more and more examples of the style. The Telegraph did a celebrity/runway slideshow, which includes a couple of the looks I’ve shown but plenty of fresh ones. I’ve noticed that the white Cushnie et Ochs dress worn by actress Teresa Palmer has been…
Never Is the Next New Thing™: High/Low Hems, aka Mullet Dresses
Before stylists and goddess gowns took over, there were a lot of eye-popping fashions at the Oscars. One dress that regularly turns up on everyone’s all-time worst-dressed list is Geena Davis’s 1992 short-in-the-front, long-in-the-back “mullet” dress. After that, mullet dresses were stamped with a big “NEVER!” in my mind, and if you’ve been reading my…
Happy Birthday, Almost-Husband Paul McCartney
In honor of my almost-husband Paul McCartney’s 69th birthday, here is a list of my posts mentioning him … including the one that explains why he’s my almost-husband: It’s a Beatles-ful Day in the Neighborhood A Few of My Favorite Things (with the explanation) My Dogs Are Lazy Jane Asher, ’60s Chick Lunatic of the…
Custom Work: Gettin’ Sketchy Wit It
I don’t do sketches of all the designs that I create for my collection. Sometimes I skip the sketch and go directly to the wax model. Other times, I do a very rough sketch to convey a concept. When I was working on my Cleves swan ring, I scribbled something that looked like two deformed…
The Met Gala Dress of My Dreams
I can’t get over the cobwebby Zac Posen gown that actress Christina Ricci wore at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala on Monday. This dress brings the drama! The gala marked the opening of the Costume Institute’s Alexander McQueen exhibit. I was surprised by how few attendees wore McQueen dresses. Maybe all the…
Wendy 4’s Amazing Bosom
Thanks to Poodle Analytics and Feedjit, I know that I’ve gotten quite a bit of traffic from people searching for “Wendy 4 purple dress.” I imagined that “Wendy 4 Purple” was the name of an inexpensive, teen-oriented clothing line and, because I’ve seen plenty of that schlock, I didn’t investigate further. A few days ago,…
Musical Moment With Marshall Mathers
I’ve listened to Love the Way You Lie by Eminem and Rihanna 50 times in 12 hours. No exaggeration. Now you can be obsessed by it too. The video features Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan.
Ossie Clark Is Fugging Fabulous
Thanks to commenter Carrie for pointing out that director Lucy Walker’s vintage Ossie Clark dress made it onto Go Fug Yourself. Carrie remembered that I had re-posted this 2004 photo of myself last month. I read Go Fug Yourself from 2004 to 2006, when comments were regularly allowed (now they’re selectively allowed.) Commenters ranged from…
A Cautionary Tale
It looks like singers Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together, even though he ruined her Grammy night last month by giving her an ugly makeover with his fists. I’m hoping she’s trying to lure him into a false sense of security so she can get her revenge. I suggest she stash him in a…
