Amy Winehouse’s Family Are Less Than Thrilled About Gaultier’s Spring 2012 Tribute To Their Daughter
Well, you can’t win them all. No matter what you do, there seems to be a 10% factor of those who are going to hate on you. Although fans of Amy Winehouse and Jean Paul Gaultier swooned over his gorgeous Spring 2012 Couture show in Paris this week because it was not only stunning but was devoted to the late singer, her family were none to pleased with his choice.

Middle School Does The Right Thing, Bans Ugg Boots
Have you ever wished Ugg boots would just go away? The good folks at Pottstown Middle School in Pottstown, PA have, but unlike most people, they didn’t just fantasize longingly about burning all the students’ Ugg boots in one big bonfire.

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 »

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 »

The 14 Most Ridiculous Costumes From The Giants vs. Patriots Game (Of Football)
It’s a well-known fact among people who know me that I hate football. When my boyfriend revealed to me that he needed to watch “the game” while we were away on vacation this past weekend, it was like he’d torn off his human face to reveal himself to be some sort of alien/insect creature, so I promptly inserted my earplugs and started reading a book about masochism. (True story!) But the people who go to football games often wear things that showcase how much most straight dudes suck at costumes, and I think that’s funny, so here are some pictures. More »
