Although he has done collaborations here and there, Jeremy Scott made a comeback after 7 years with this Fall 2010 collection that echoed NYC street wear with clever, tongue and cheek details. This collection reminded me a little of Moschino back in ‘The Nanny‘ days. That’s a good thing. The cardboard cut-outs are brilliant, except I would paste a picture of a tabloid sweetheart on the head of the silhouette. Why? Because it’s damn funny. I wonder how you sit in that…. how does that work? For that hanger dress, you need your own personal Farnsworth Bentley to carry that around for you… or if you’re trying to save some bucks in this crappy economy, I guess you could hang it from your ponytail. The main thing is Jeremy’s back.
Happy Persian New Year to all the Persian cats (and people)!

hats 
On one of my recent trips to NYC, I stopped by Henri Bendel (I’ve been going there since I was 13) and saw that they have switched to only accessories, jewelry and handbags. No more clothes and shoes. It’s so sparkley now! My cats would have a ball. Hell, I had a ball! Anyway, I stumbled upon these really cool hats by French hat designer, Selima. Each one is handmade at her studio/boutique on Bond Street in NYC and also is available at Henri Bendel. Selima provided hats for Malandrino’s Spring 2010 Collection and many socialites. Check out her cool site for custom made hats, blog and contact.

Photographer Marc Da Cunha Lopes can sure bring out the spook in a single photo. When I first looked at the photos, I thought it was a little person, but it’s actually a real little girl. I see cookies and candy as a motivator here. Anyway, I appreciate the weird, like a lot. As you may know, my nickname is ‘moosh‘, which means ‘cute’ and ‘mouse‘ in Farsi. I love mice. So, this is just so precious! I love the Amelie reference with the raspberries on the fingers. I think every kid does that. Anyway, check out Marc Da Cunha Lopes‘ site for more fupe photos, including a giant cockroach in a lab, a lady breastfeeding an squid, and a bunny hunting humans. Awesome!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Cheers to a day of green cupcakes, green beer and green vomit! …And a ginge-cat for you!
look at dat fathe!

British designer Louise Gray marches to her own tune and I love it. Full of color, spunk and London street-style, her Fall 2010 collection went against the the other dreary and depressing collections shown at Fashion week. A little Muppet fur never hurt anyone (except muppets, I guess) and adds to the playful, fun collection. I personally would wear the fur overalls because :
a)it’s pink
b) it’s fluffy and cuddly
c) I feel like Animal is close to me
d) it’s pink
Also, It’s great to do some dusting in that outfit. I have a feeling my 4 year old would never let go of me if I wore that. I also predict those weird fetish people into mascots would also never let go of me. I may skip this look, after all.

Here are a few looks from the Central Saint Martin’s fashion show featuring designs from this year’s graduates. I see visions of Viktor & Rolf, Klaus Nomi, Avatar, marshmallows, and the (Tr)Olsen Twins in this collective. Now we know what goes on in their dorm rooms. Something involving those listed. Anyway, I actually think I like the puffy, cloud outfit… I would wear that on a plane so I can rest my head on the puffs of awesomeness during the flight. And one can never have too many arm warmers (first photo)- love those! The white boxy cape (third photo) is perfect for cleptos. You could totally jack a microwave with that coat on.

ThreeAsFour’s Fall collection looked like something futuristic superhero would wear on her career days. I think the ’sliced’ leggings are what makes it look costume-y, which is fine. I can always rely on ThreeAsFour to bring on the fupe -wear. I mean, I love their brand of strange and I find them very creative. This collection needs some color, though. The swampy color-scheme makes it look slightly hideous. The first photo look like a dress made out of Beyonce’s rejected weaves, which would be very eco-friendly. However, I couldn’t blow up the photo to really see if it was a bunch of Yaki-braids turned couture or just an unusual fabric. Fill me in, if you have the knowledge.

So, I recently took a trip back to NYC for my other other work and decided to take photos of the stuff I love in NYC. I went to the Tim Burton exhibit at MOMA and was planning to take photos and video for you guys until some lady with the Bronx claws decided to stop me. Sorry, I tried, people. The first photo was all I could get. It was the weekend of the big blizzard which wasn’t actually that bad- but I didn’t have to drive , so maybe it was bad for everyone else? Duuno. Anyway, I always wanted to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. Even though I’ve been to NYC 5, 460,197 times, the opportunity never came up- until now. I had to share with you the ‘Hell, yes’ building. There you go. The bakery above is Lady M- only the most deliscioussssss Mille Crepe is served there. It’s like 100 crepes stacked between a bevy of cream and then ‘creme bruleed’ on top- soooooo yum. I actually dream about this. And here’s a cheezy myspace -style photo of me taken my me to show you how I actually dress. Now it’s your turn to make fun of my outfit!

Vivienne Westwood just gave us a license to mismatch our outfits! Take that Fashion Police! For her Fall 2010 collection, she got back to her punk roots with plaids, kilts and crackhead hair. I love that. I also love the trompe l’oeil boobs in the first photo. Perfect for the ladies with mosquito bites but don’t wanna put fun bags under their skin. In all seriousness (yes, I can get serial!), this is what I (try to) dress like everyday damn day- the ‘high-end punk’ look. You know, the glamourous lady that could eff you up in a back alley with a pair of rhinestoned brass knuckles from Patricia Field’s if need be. Viv is back! Hurray!

Check out these hideous pieces of furniture! I think my favorite is the chair with the molded butt. I would add some hair for a more realistic effect, though. The gizmo chair is pretty crazy- It’s like it’s gonna bite you. By the way, when I was pregnant, I was looking for a used rocking chair because I’m cheap like that. I should’ve just strapped a chair on a rocker! Dang!… That sumo chair looks like me after I ate too much delicious buffet at Sizzler. The wig lamp is perfect for the tranny-in-training. It holds your wig and provides light for when you’re spackling your make up on. My commentary is done.

M.A.C artist Karin Stone developed this rad makeup to make you look like a real comic book girl from those paintings by Roy Lichtenstein. If you’re gonna do this, make sure the red dots are in order or you’ll look like you have chicken pox. It’s totally a fine line. Also, you will probably be a geek magnet, like beyond geek. You’ll probably have a line of geeks and nerds following you everywhere. Bring your taser, just in case. This reminds me of that exhibition at The Met, Superheroes. I wrote an article on it back in 2007. Read it here, if you care. I think that yellow- blonde hair is next on my roster after I wear out this red. What do you think?
