Friday Style Icon: Dorothy Parker (With Bonus Obscure-ish Quotes)
A lot of people know that Dorothy Parker was a famous wit. A lot of people don’t know that in her youth, at 4’11, she was also considered a snappy style icon. Another thing a lot of people don’t know? That she and Robert Benchley subscribed to undertaker trade magazines and then cut them up and added jokes to make their own magazine From Grave To Gay!
Why is this not a magazine that exists right now? Fine. Change the word “gay”. Fine. Other than that. Why don’t you start it? Why don’t you dress like Dorothy Parker, find a platonic male best friend who is equally funny and go off and do things? Because you don’t have her wardrobe. Okay. I’ll help. And I’ll include some quotes! Weird ones, not that one about martinis, again! More »

Men Tell Us: If They’d Sleep With Kreayshawn
I’m Benedict Arnold, and boy do I love outsourcing. Instead of writing an article for Jennifer this week like I was supposed to, I farmed out the work to eight of my friends to see what they thought about slipping Kreayshawn the ol’ Jorge. (And Kreayshawn because of her recent slutty schoolgirl photo romp with everyone’s favorite sketchball: Terry Richardson.)
Ed note: I find these really, truly offensive, in a “I want to defend this doubtless talented performer” way. That said, I don’t think I’ve ever heard her music, and I know nothing about her. Please take it away, commenters. More »

I’m Still Waiting To Feel Successful
I’m 34 years old. I hate typing that out or even saying it. It’s practically mid-30′s; I don’t feel mid-30′s. I especially don’t have a life that I assumed I’d have when I reached my almost-mid-30′s. I’m not sure of an appropriate adjective for my life and since I’d like to offer something poetic but am without words, we’ll just call it stagnate. Yes, my life is like a swamp and I’m the lily pad that never learned to float…. More »

Gallery: Jean Paul Gaultier Made His Spring 2012 Couture Show A Tribute To Amy Winehouse
For his Spring 2012 Couture show in Paris, Jean Paul Gaultier decided to devote much of his energy to creating a tribute to the late Amy Winehouse. This inspiration is evident in the show’s hair, makeup, styling, and even many of the clothes; retro 60s beehives and winged eye liner abounded. Gaultier also put his own modern spin on Winehouse’s style with futuristic shapes and some very on-trend bright hair colors. “I think Amy Winehouse was truly a fashion icon,” Gaultier told WWD. He also said he “felt compelled to celebrate her style because magazines have failed to do so.” Click through for some of his most Winehouse-ian looks. More »

DIY Hair: French Twist
Ugh, I never do my hair this way because, while french twists are theoretically easy, they never seems to hold as well as a braided updo. Probably because there is no hair-elastic, so you are going to be relying a lot on bobby pins. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile as “a thing that exists!” More »

How To Respond When Degenerates Ask You “Why Are You So Dressed Up?”
People. They sure do love making you feel weird about dressing like a human being.
When I say “people” I mean “lousy degenerates.” Here’s how to respond when you are tripping down the street, just feeling good about wearing a pretty dress on a pretty day, because it’s nice to look nice, and someone in sweatpants that read “cantaloupe” across the back looks at you sideways and says “what are you so dressed up for?”… More »
