Website Mantyhose.net believes that nylon leg coverings shouldn’t just be for women. After all, men have legs too, and they just may want the same benefits women attain from wearing them, such as support or warmth. And what about athletics? The creators also tout health benefits as to why men should partake. Continue reading
When I saw a woman walking on the street in just a bathing suit I did not say anything. I told myself there could be any number of reasons for such a thing. “Out patient” came to mind, as did “house fire” or “lost luggage.” My therapeutic self wondered if she’d yet to find closure for an unfortunate childhood experience. I decided that a woman walking down the street (of a major metropolis) in only a bathing suit was if not entirely a one-off well then certainly an anomaly. And then I saw another one. However this one was not alone. She was walking with a male companion and talking on the phone (indications of someone sane enough to be socializing.) She was walking right up the avenue, if you will, on the Upper East Side. (For those unfamiliar with this territory think: uber-conventional, traditional, society, kind of reputation. There was a time you would find actual blue haired ladies in the area. Today those ladies are tightly pulled and puffed.) There she was, strolling along in her two scraps of fabric, dyed jet black and white hair, and ink intensive tattoo spanning shoulder to shoulder. No doubt coming from a fitting, choosing a hat or on her way to plan a brunch. Continue reading
Now that we’ve discussed what things will make you gain weight, how about we also let some of the skinny out of those jeans, eh? Continue reading
In the first of our regular post-fashion event feature, we are recapping what the models, celebrities and the designers who adorn them presented on the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2012 Costume Institute Gala. This will be in the form of an open thread, so please find and post your hits, misses and nuclear meltdowns for discussion. Don’t forget the menfolk, either!
First up, Beyoncé, after the jump. Continue reading
While happily munching on my egg white omelet wrap this morning I came across an article titled “Men in Shorts” and written by someone named P.J. O’Rourke (National Lampoon’s! Libertarian! says everyone!) in a compendium to Forbes magazine jauntily called ForbesLife. Now I don’t know what O’Rourke has against grown men in shorts but it’s patently hilarious his quite reasonable takedown of the phenomenon — if not a little histrionic. Continue reading
Do you remember those beautiful innocent sunshine-filled days? The days before Lifetime wrought upon us this travesty of an “All Stars” season of Project Runway? We were brimming with hope, with joy, with possibility; all of it now dashed against the mossy river stones of Reality River. What is that I hear? Is it the short, sharp breaths of the injured but still living?! There is still hope, then, as hard as it is to believe–and that hope is in Mondo’s talented fingers. Will we finally get justice for (vom) Wretchen’s win? We’ll find out tonight, won’t we? Continue reading
We’ve almost made it, my darlings. We’re almost there–this season is so very close to being over and done with. I have never dreaded a Project Runway finale (or rather, first half of a finale) so much as this one. I wonder why? I wonder what’s missing from this particular season that is usually the highlight of the finale? Hmmmm… Continue reading
This is the last episode before the finale, chickens. Hallelujah! Our national nightmare is almost over! And not a moment too soon because you just know that when you’ve reached the challenge that has the designers designing outfits for Mortal Kombat warriors, there’s a real god damn problem.
I do want to take a moment to express complete and utter bafflement that this very same challenge brought us both Austin Scarlett’s dreamy and romantic Van Gogh-esque gown and Kenley’s bastardized Nicki Minaj fashion (or “fashion lol” as I would call it). Oh and whatever it is that the other guys made. Who cares?
Sigh. Who cares? Let’s consume a copious amount of booze and as a loving community insult everything that these crazies do and say. Meet me in the comments at 9ET/8CT! Continue reading
Tonight’s the always awesome Snatch Game episode! Oh, wait…that’s RuPaul’s Drag Race. Never mind. (Sigh.) Stupid Project Runway. Maybe this season would have been better if RuPaul were one of the judges. Continue reading

On this especially, non-special “holiday”, many people will be spending truckloads of money to make their lovers happy. As a perpetually single slore, that’s not my concern. I want to know about money spent on yourself. Making you look fabulous for that mate you may or may not have/find. Continue reading
