Tyra’s So Mad She Didn’t Think of This for ANTM…
This fall, MOMA is going to be doing a retrospective on Tim Burton’s films, so Harper’s Bazaar decided to let Tim Burton create clothing and style a photo spread for this month’s issue. This is fairly perfect, since Tim Burton’s movies have, as of late, been more appropriately viewed as stills rather than moving, talking, horrible song-filled pieces of cinema.
Like this.
More gorgeousness after the cut, and sadly/gratefully, no Helena Bonham Carter…
My birthday is next month (hint hint)
The bikini jeans were created by a Japanese clothing line called Sanna’s that claims to make Brazilian fashion. One fashion blogger says
I think the design is pretty cool and although it may take some time getting used to, once a celebrity blesses these jeans, there official. Lindsay Lohan, Rihanna, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson all have the star power to make these jeans the staple look of 09′.
So run out and get them while you can, ladies! They’re going to be the fashion staple of 2009!
Thanks Kate Comer!
And while I’m on the subject of open letters….
Dear ladies,
This style of shoe is not cute.
I usually try not to make judgment calls on fashion, because there are people that can pull off any look out there, but this is pushing it. It’s all the style of wearing gladiator sandals mixed with the tragedy of having to wrap your feet in burlap because you can’t afford shoes! Plus, they won’t keep you cool or warm!
There’s a reason only one of these pictures shows someone actually wearing these shoes. I think even stylists realize that these look horrid on actual people.
So ladies, keep your $220. Spend it on kittens.
Love,
Gynomite
Who wouldn’t want a kid that Beck follows on the street?
This is Arlo Weiner, son of Matt Weiner, the guy that created Mad Men. Amazingly, this isn’t even slightly the most interesting thing about Arlo Weiner. At the age of 3, he asked his parents for a top hat, and hasn’t looked back since, becoming by far the most stylish 8 year old that ever existed. He wants to design his own clothing line, and admits that he gets a lot of inspiration from his dad’s show. His parents love it, and talk about the time he was followed down the street by an awestruck Beck.

Stuff I want
Gynomite now presents a self-indulgent collection of things I want from ModCloth. Things like this:
You’ve been wasting those plastic grocery bags
A girl I work with showed me these boots today, and I hate to get all girly on you guys, but they are ridiculously awesome. And $45. Plus, they’re made out of plastic grocery bags.
Yeah, you better jump.
Extra large does not mean extra cool
You know what’s funny? The 2XL and 3XL sections of American Apparel’s website.
American Apparel, long known for their “who me? i was just stretching while thinking about having sex with poetry!” ad campaigns and for drastically undersized clothing, has decided to acknowledge a large percentage of the country by making their clothes in sizes 2XL and 3XL.

So…..I’m really not qualified to give any kind of update on Fashion Week. I barely keep up with it, and really just love Project Runway, which is probably the equivalent of someone saying that they’re from the streets because they liked that one JaRule song.
But either way, the shoes this year were completely insane. Can I show you some of them? It’s all stuff like this:
high heels: ur doin it wrong
(Special thanks to the Shoeblog, who has a wicked awesome blog about…..shoes!)
Things That Make You Go…….Hmmm, you have too much money.
When people get money, they do ridiculous things. Get thee after the jump to see three great examples.
Celebrity fashion!
It seems like every other day another young dumb Hollywood startlet is getting her own clothing line, as if the answers you gave to the “what do you wanna be when you grow up?” question are now viable career options for the rich. “Ummm, I wanna be a princess, and a fashion designer, and an actress!”
It’s nice to know that in an environment where many girls get fashion lines but few can actually sustain any kind of demand for their clothing, one singer/actress is quietly churning out stylish clothes for the masses.
Reba Fucking McEntire
The Tremors star and country singer designs her own line of clothing, shoes, and bath towels. Wanna see?
