Happy Gilmore Day

Yup, today marks the 6th season premiere for those zany Gilmore Girls. We'll be finding out how Luke responds to Lorelai's proposal (although I don't seriously expect there'll be a perfectly straightforward answer) we'll also see lots of mother daughter fighting (yea...how exciting) and if we're lucky we'll see some Logan too.

I totally remember back in the day (like 2000) when Gilmore Girls was like my absolute favorite show (along with buffy) and it was soooo interesting. I hope the show either takes a turn for the better again this season or keeps its dignity and goes out while it still has its fanbase...I'm not actually watching the show tonight (because I have better things to do) but maybe if you're lucky I'll tell you what I think of it once I get a moment in my busy-busy life to sit down and watch it.

Question of the Day






















Anna & Bee: Don't you wish your mom was the editor of vogue?

Smells Like Teen Spirit

...yummy, the marc jacobs show looks so sparkly and delicious! what was of note:
  • m.j. played "smells like teen spirit" on his runway soundtrack for the 5th time "Because it's the anthem of teen angst."
  • cute, retro-ish clothes--a few of my favorites after the jump
  • selma blair & gemma ward both wore dresses that I fell in love with (you can too, after the jump)
all info. & pics from style.com where you can--of course--see the complete collection too




I love gemma and this outfit


I loooove selma, her style, and this dress so much

okay, now for what was on the runway:

gemma looking sparkly & glam






...somehow this all made me think of cotton candy and the nutcracker...quite a change from marc fall 2005

Moss & Manfriend

...it's so different from the usual "are they divorced yet?" celebrity question. k.moss and pete doherty hit the another magazine party in nyc (I think this is saturday night) and style.com was there to cover it...nobody said anything on the subject of marriage though...
"Kate Moss and her muddled manfriend Pete Doherty popped into Jefferson Hack's sophisticated affair Sunday night for Another Magazine cover star Jodie Foster. The event was hosted by Eric Villency and held at the Accompanied Library in the National Arts Club, and the duo stayed for a brief patch, saying hello to the likes of Mario Sorrenti, Inez van Lamsweerde, Vinoodh Matadin, Angela Lindvall, Natalia Vodianova, and Anouck Lepère (Hack's new flame)."
...ha ha, "muddled manfriend". wow, I remember when I thought jefferson hack was unattractive, but pete doherty just puts him into perspective. It really hurts to say this but kate's not looking too hot here. I'm sure it's just the drugs, though.

Victor/Victoria

Aw, animated Johnny Depp looks so cute!

So, looks like I'm going to have to wait 'til next friday (next friday is the 23rd right?) to see Corpse Bride because this friday is just "limited release"...I wish I lived somewhere cool where I could go see movies before all the boring suburbanites...shucks.

Here's what I'm waiting for (via Yahoo):

Set in a 19th century European village, this stop-motion, animated feature follows the story of Victor, a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride, while his real bride, Victoria, waits bereft in the land of the living. Although life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colorful than his strict Victorian upbringing, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world, or the next, that can keep him away from his one true love.

...hmm, the Victorian Victor/Victoria couple, intriguing.

L.A.M.B. to the slaughter


Above, gwen stefani shows off her complete lack of fashion sense and/or talent.

I totally understand that celebrities design clothing lines because they can and their fans are really into it or something, but I completely don't get the appeal of L.A.M.B., it 's just so....ugly.

Okay, now I know that tons of people think she has great style or something, (and that she won $50,000 for charity from "diddy" for wearing that leopard-thing to the VMAs...not that I'm super into diddy's style either...) but I think she must be one of those things like licorice or fennel that many people enjoy but I will never come to understand.

Breakout Performance

Hey, just watched the 4th (that's counting the 2 hr. season premiere as 2 episodes by the way) episode of Prison Break and guess what???

...yup, he broke out! actually no, he just broke out of his cell, but you know what they say about baby steps (you should take them)

watch wentworth box after the jump....or try to box, you be the judge.



wow I'm sweaty & hot

arrrgh...pow! yah! take that!

whoo! that was ha-ard! man! I'm tired! huh, look @ my feet...do they look funny to you? no? maybe its just from my angle.

hey let's jump some rope! look @ me go!

fancy footwork huh? yup, I was classically trained in ballet so I'm very light on my feet!

this boxing stuff though, wow, it's hard!

I am soooo sweaty guys!
check out this big weight guys! don't I look tough? I bet you can't tell, but I'm not actually holding it up, I look tough though huh?

POW!

Just Testing...



The Easiest Question Ever:
Does Lindsay look better as a blonde or a redhead?

Answer:
As a redhead, of course! if I were the CEO of Disney I would cast her in a remake of Kitten With a Whip just so I could force her to dye her stupid hair back. good god, lindsay, you're probably the only person in the whole world who likes the new look better...and if there are any other people who share that opinion they're just really stupid and ugly.

Why Lindsay Prefers Blonde...

La from Junk Feud finally figured out why La Lohan keeps abusing the peroxide instead of going back to her (lovely red) roots:

"...Lindsay loves Marilyn Monroe. So much so, in fact, that the best compliment she’s gotten in her entire life was being told that she looks like Marilyn Monroe by one of Monroe’s friends."

Here Lindsay shows us a picture of what she thinks she looks like...sorry linds, but you look nothing like marilyn, it was way more flattering when you were all into ann-margaret and wanted to remake Kitten With a Whip

LoVe

Kirsten's chat transcript didn't have any very revelatory spoilers this week (y'know: there's something in the hatch, lorelai & rory will be fighting, jennifer garner is pregnant, etc.)

However she did remind me of that great question "who is at the door?" for those of you not in the know: veronica mars 1st season ended with someone at veronica's door and we know that she is going to be with this person @ the beginning of season 2. We know it's either duncan (boo!) or logan (yea!) and if LoVe (Logan & Veronica: a nickname sooo much better than either bennifer or brangelina) is not the answer we will be very upset.

Lost

After never really getting into Lost last year and not really remembering to watch all those summer reruns (although summer reruns suck because they don't show all the episodes) I finally started watching Lost! (as a confirmed Alias fan, this is obviously something I should've done long ago)

Saw parts 1 and 2 of the pilot today and they were so good! Love the actors, the suspense, the flashbacks, and everything else! This so takes me back to when I first watched Alias (all night of halloween sophmore year, fueled by starbucks frappucinos and adrenaline, the music of the credits pumping through my veins along with the caffeine: "dun-dun-da-da dun-dun-da-da-da daaaa-da daaaa-da....bad ro-bot") I can't wait to cram the rest of the season in before season 2 starts!

question: are they just going to be stuck on that island for years? because won't the show have to end when they get rescued? (this is kind of like my questions concerning the O.C.: will they go to college a la 90210 and Boy Meets World or will the series end with this season? this is basically the eternal debate between whether it's better to go out with a bang or slowly fizzle away)

Question of the Day






















Hilary & Joel: what do these two see in each other?

Mrs. Doherty?

...please no. Pete Doherty claims to have secretly married Kate Moss.

The Babyshambles singer taunted photographers who caught him and Moss arriving at a London birthday party for Jude Law and Sadie Frost's youngest son Rudy, three.
After telling snappers the pair had wed, Doherty said: "You've missed it."
He then held up his wedding ring finger, weighed down by a heavy ring, and said: "This is not a rude gesture, I'm just showing you my ring."

If only she had married Johnny Depp way back when...Oh yeah, according to Gawker the newlyweds are in nyc for fashion week (kate'll be on the runway I believe) so we'll be seeing more of them soon.

Fashion Disaster!

No seriously, a fashion disaster occurred today @ the DVF show. the Daily reports:

"In front of a celebrity studded crowd that included Kelly Osbourne and Paris Hilton, an entire section of lighting—held together by two thick white posts flanking the runway like a goalpost—came crashing down onto the floor as the models walked the finale, hitting and bruising editors and causing a scene that can only be described as chaos."

how awful for diane von furstenburg! the daily goes on to say that:

"A visibly shaken—and crying—Diane von Furstenberg ran from one injured editor to another, making sure they were ok and embracing them."


9.11.2005

"...the new bitchy MK"

According to Perez Hilton Mary-Kate was @ Bungalow 8 the other day when Tom Brady (the Patriots' QB...no, that means nothing to me either) tried to hit on her & she turned him down...

What exactly is MK doing in New York? Weren't we under the impression that she was going to be going to school in California this fall? I guess the tabs were wrong.

"Mary-Kate was there without the Giant," a source tells us. "She was hanging out with her artsy friends and at one point Tom Brady came up to her and was trying to hit on her."

Tom Brady and Mary-Kate Olsen??? Maybe he thought she has a thing for taller guys?!

"Mary-Kate was so not interested, and at one point she told Tom, 'Do you want a drink? The cocktail waitress is over there!'" Meow. We are lovin' the new bitchy MK!

...yeah we're confused about the whole NY/LA thing too? where is MK going to college this year?

p.s. doesn't MK look pretty in this picture? it's from the fall 2005 IOC show

Premiere Dates (movies)

note: To be updated as I get around to it
more notes: All subject to change. the parentheses next to the titles show what kind of opening it is so if it says NY/LA or "limited" who knows what it'll come everywhere else. also: these are only the movies I think are of note, there are other stupider-looking movies which could turn out to be fabulous)

Kate-a-licious

Hey, apparently the Daily loves kate almost as much as I do! Here's what they know about her:

Goaty to the max:
Born in Croydon in 1974, Kate’s a Capricorn.

Coversky modelsky: Kate was Russian Vogue’s very first.

Tabac To The Future: Kate met Johnny Depp at NYC’s Café Tabac in 1994. They spent the next four years together, including one special night splashing around in a vintage Bollinger-filled bathtub at London’s Portobello Hotel.

Freudian Analysis: Lucien Freud’s nude portrait of Kate sold for £3.5 million ($6.4 million).

Dior Adores Her: John Galliano, whose fall 2002 Dior couture collection was inspired by Kate, calls her the modern Marilyn Monroe.

Small Hips, Small Screen: Kate’s TV appearances include the documentary Models Close-Up and the BBC comedy series French and Saunders.

Music Muse: Not only has Kate sung backup for Primal Scream and on-again/off-again boyfriend Peter Doherty’s band Baby shambles, she has also appeared in music videos for the White Stripes, Johnny Cash, and Elton John.

Stretch marks? What are those? Kate had a daughter, Lila Grace, in 2002; Dad is publisher Jefferson Hack. Marianne Faithfull was the guest of honor at Lila’s christening. Kate has allegedly taken singing lessons with Faithfull.

Ban de Soleil: Kate was banned (for life) from the Hotel du Cap because she entertained friends loudly at the discreet $4,000-a-night destination.

Thai One On: Kate’s a regular at the Chiva-Som resort in Thailand, where she and Sadie Frost often head for some R&R.

High (priced) Sierra: She spent $3 million on a condo in L.A.’s Sierra Towers, which also house such celebs as Lindsay Lohan and Matthew Perry.

Lifestyles of The Rich & Dehydrated: Kate shocks her neighbors by having a staggering 40 liters (eight gallons) of expensive mineral water delivered to her north London home—everyday! Some suspect she’s bathing in it and/or washing her hair with it.

Who Says Models Don’t Read? The theme of Kate’s 30th birthday party was F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Beautiful and Damned.

Home Is Where The Leopard Skin Is: Kate’s London abode is furnished with leopard-skin carpets, sheepskin rugs, low tables, and pillows everywhere.

Rumor: Kate adores Chips Ahoy! cookies.

other cool facts about kate:

Plum Sykes wrote an article about her for Vogue

W loves her so much they put her on 9 covers @ once

(note: Plum Sykes' articles are by far vogue's best (they're more snarky, gossipy, & interesting than vogue's usuals) and Bergdorf Blondes is by far the literary world's best...okay I think I have to add that that last part isn't totally true because you'll think I'm a total airhead since I already listed vogue as my favorite book in my profile, seriously I don't think I hate listing my favorites because I can't think of any single book/movie/musical genre/color/food that I want to be defined by)

Fashion Week Spring 2006



It's Fashion Week...if you care here's the schedule

note: click "complete post" because to avoid having a million short posts about fashion week I'm just going to be editing anything I want to say about diferent collections into this post and update it as I look at different collections (via style.com coverage)

new note: due to some trouble editing this post I only ended up posting about the first few collections I looked at, however if anything is special enough that I think someone else might actually care I'll probably make a separate post. (there are still some shows after the jump)
Verrier
This is a new, small (18 look) collection but it's almost completely very clean, wearable looking clothes. My favorites: the outfit @ left as well as some very pretty chloe-esque blouses, cute shorts (one orange pair and one white) and a slinky silver dress.

complete collection





Kenneth Cole
Looked great with the highlights being tons of great dresses like a ruffled blue wraparound one, and various versions in short, floaty chiffon.

complete collection







IOC


I didn't like this collection of Imitation of Christ nearly as much as the I had hoped after the Fall 2005 season. The highlights of the collection (other than Scarlett Johanssesn in a see-through shirt & unflattering jeans) were the shoes, especiall a pair of white boots and all the shoes with floppy leather bows/ties (are these the same shoes that tara subkoff was designing for easyspirt...which still seems weird to me)

complete collection
Brian Reyes

Unlike IOC, I wasn't expecting anything from this because I can't even remember hearing of this designer before (although apparently he's worked for Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, and Oscar de la Renta) but back to the point, I though these clothes were beautiful--very chiffon-y, floaty, casual but not casual--plus I also like this model and the way her ears stick out.

complete collection

Tommy Hilfiger

The clothes: okay, tons and tons of good preppy basics, but the barefoot models were cute.

complete collection










Project Alabama


Very into this Project Alabama collection. What I liked: all the navy blue, the headbands/wraps, the designs on the dresses, jackets, etc., the cute coats, the fiddler in the background, the whole look with the white underskirt showing @ the bottom, the star motif

complete collection



Lacoste


what I liked: the super-flat flats, the sleek minis (especially with pockets like @ left) and shorts with button down shirts or loose preppy sweaters, the black & white outfits toward the end, and all the preppy-looking male models

complete collection




Nicole Miller


cute: pretty, casual dresses, bubble skirts, wearable looking shorts, sixties-inspired look, a couple white crocheted looks

complete collection
