Wonderfully odd UK shoe label Irregular Choice is launching a line of clothes in February. The company has also collaborated with designers Heatherette and the creepy doll makers of Blythe on special collections. 
I'm not going to say anything mean about this... today. What I'd like to point out is the amazing taupe leather jacket. It would look really, really cute with a nice SWEATER under it. White, cashmere, cowl neck, you know?
A rendering of the flagship Topshop location in SoHo, NYC, one of three NYC locations planned.
Next season, don't look for Twiggy at panel during America's Next Top Model. She won't be on Cycle 10 because of "scheduling conflicts" (granny need to go to bed early?)
So, Marc Jacobs told New York Magazine he wants his own reality show. Drugs + hair dye + revolving gold-digging rentboys + anal sex? Paris Hilton might sue for infringement, but I'd watch. Would you?
The British Fashion Council gave out their awards last night. Fascinating. Dame Vivienne Westwood won something, again. Model of the Year? Kate, of course.
Let me preface this post: I know. I'm a total loser for being 27 and not Asian and loving Hello Kitty. It's obnoxious-- borderline lunchbox purse obnoxious-- but I just can't help it.
I hope it at least comes with a free pair of matching orthopedic shoes.
My close friend Sissy B., a licenced senior stylist and makeup artist for an exclusive salon, (predictably) has a nose for good products. Earlier this year she introduced me to S Factor, TIGI's new premium line of hair products. So far, we've tried and used several S Factor products , and haven't been disappointed. Here's the word on their 3 newest releases...
Everyone thinks they can write the book on style, it seems. Just recently we've seen guides from Posh Beckham, Rachael Zoe, and next up... burlesque superstar Dita VonTeese (a.k.a. Heather Renee Sweet)."I wanted a rule-breaking beauty book that's about retro glamour and eccentric makeup — a book that teaches you how to put it on," said Von Teese."She's a self-created style icon (thats no stylist, no makeup and hair brigade) so though the costumey pinup steeze ain't my bag, I have respect for her. She does an excellent job putting herself together, dodging the mainstream while still looking age and event-appropriate. She also seems (aside from that whole marriage thing with Marilyn Manson) pretty bright. This could be an essential how-to book for vintage divas worldwide. We shall see.

She's either crochet babushka, WWII-era everygirl, or futuristic red-carpet sex robot. This line should be interesting. Her Holiday 2007 collection looks very wearable...
Patricia Field is the trash-fabulous designer responsible for every absurd thing Carrie Bradshaw ever Sexed the City in. She also looks like Ronald McDonald's slutty older sister, which I kind of love her for. Anyway, she recently teamed up with Mattel to create a line of Barbie accessories for adults. They're rather boring-- just bags emblazoned with the barbie silhouette and tees stamped with the Barbie logo-- but while I was on the site I came across her designs for Payless. And these $40 pumps are cute:
Apparently she designed herself a similar pair and wore them to the 2007 Oscars.
Now, I'm all about the sewn-on-the body roll-stitched look with stretch cotton jersey. In fact, I worked for a friend of Elisa's a few years ago who used similar construction methods. But anyone with both eyes knew that thing she made was a piece of shit. So I take back all concerns that she would so far surpass the competition that it would be unfair to the others. I believe she was only kept on the show last night because she's weird.
You can vote your opinion here.
* Geriatric farce-rockers KISS have their own fragrances for men and women. The cologne is described as "a spicy-warm scent featuring notes of lavender, anise and amber." Not sweat, grease makeup and Ben-Gay as one might guess. A jug of it sells for under $20.
*Marilyn Manson said he would be launching his own fragrance a couple of years ago. However, as with most of his public statements, this seems to have been just another cheap grab for unwarranted attention by the alcoholic child molester. There's nothing on the market yet.
* Loveable crackhead Paula Abdul is supposedly in development of a new fragrance, which she plans to call "Sexy Thoughts." I love the name not only for it's lack of creativity, but because it forces one to imagine what a sexy thought in Paula Abdul's mind might be. (Personally, I see her getting a sensual back massage from the animated cat from her "Opposites Attract" video.)"In the middle of coming up with my fragrance line, I asked the question, 'By any chance do you have anything that smells like cat pee, and cow poop and, like, farts?' I want to put those elements - the cat pee, the horse poop and fart - in a bottle..."Oh. My god. Is all I can say about that. I just checked the Firmenich site and-- what a surprise--she doesn't seem to have anything in production.
* My favorite of all is one by the hyper-talented gay actor Alan Cumming (one of my more memorable NYC celeb sightings-- he winked at me) who named his scent... Cumming.
