Gallery: Jennifer Lopez Wears Swimsuits, Shows She’s Still Got It In Vogue
In the June issue of Vogue, pop star/actress/The Voice judge Jennifer Lopez can be seen wearing various designer bathing suits and demonstrating that she still has “it” despite the fact that at 42, she’s well over the age at which most Hollywood starlets are taken behind the woodshed and shot. But what does “it” even mean? Here, I will venture to guess what “it” is that J-Lo has in each of her swimsuit photos. Besides a gravity-defying ass and aristocratic bone structure, I mean. More »

Thin Models Actually Don’t Make Most Women Buy Clothes
There’s no one reason why fashion models are extremely thin. You’ll hear everything from clients, sample sizes, and agency demands to competition between models and the public that buys magazines featuring them. One of the more steadfast beliefs, though, is that models are thin because fashion is “aspirational” and women want to buy more than clothes: they want some abstract impossible thinness, youth, beauty, etc. As one researcher says, “It’s better to use extremely thin models because that’s what makes women feel bad about themselves and want to buy the products.” More »

Gallery: Michael Fassbender Continues To Play A Sex Addict In GQ Editorial
Michael “Magnificent Penis” Fassbender is the dashing cover model of GQ‘s June issue, which promises to teach readers (with Fassbender’s help) how to “amp up your sex appeal.” (Wear nicer clothes, preferably the ones advertised in the magazine, is the basic jist of it.) But is the Fassbender we see in the cover editorial really a suave man worthy of emulation, or a Shame-type sex addict trapped in the darkest depths of desperation? Let’s take a look. More »

Are Female Fashion Designers At A Disadvantage Because They Aren’t As Social As Men?
A few weeks ago Nicole Phelps of Style.com asked why aren’t there more successful female fashion designers in New York? It seemed like an odd question considering that when most of us think of fashion we think of women. But actually Phelps pointed out that though fashion seems like a more female friendly industry it is actually another boys’ club. A more glamorous, satin-adorned boys’ club but a boys’ club none the less. At the CFDA Awards last June the prizes were given out to 18 men and three women. The stats are similar for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. And yet, 85% of Parsons’ student body is made up of women. So why are the women not getting the glory as designers? According to Phelps, women may be at a disadvantage because they aren’t as social as their male peers and this may be holding them back. We decided to talk to some women and men in the industry and see if this was really the case. More »

From “Scary Skinny” To “Full-Figured”: 5 Celebs Who Have Been Snarked For Both
Some celebrities are consistently being bashed for the same thing–Rachel Zoe is always “scary skinny,” like at last week’s Met Gala, for example–and that is upsetting. However, it’s not quite as disappointing as the body-snarking that happens to celebs who, like a lot of us, aren’t one body type or another. These women, whose weight fluctuates depending on, say, the role they’re playing, the workout they’re into, or what’s happening in their life, can’t ever seem to get it right. This does not send a great message to the rest of us. More »
