Jelly revival

Jelly bellies -they are back from our youth and here to stay! I honestly don’t know how I feel about them. I see them and I wanna laugh, sigh and cry all at the same time. It seems so strange seeing a grown man or woman wearing plastic sandals. I guess if FAT clothing stores are selling them, then they must be cool.

What are your thoughts on this revival?

Tablet round-up

The buzz surrounding eBooks and Tablets dominating 2010 and saving the magazine and newspaper industries grows each day. The latest fictional "demo" looks damn fine, but as Fast Company points out, raises immense issues surrounding the re-design of existing content. Check out Swedish publisher Bonnier's great video and FC's brief but concise response here.

Sci Fi fashion

Yeah Liv, those Star Wars fan boys are such geeks. Give me Blade Runner any day... or one of these authentic LED umbrellas seen on the streets of Los Angeles circa 2019!!! Actually a date with the 1982 version of Sean Young would be better. Sigh...

Star Wars turns to millinery

Star Wars just got a little bit geekier! Who ever thought that was possible?? There are 20 hats to be collected each representing a character from the longest and most boring movies EVER! Apologies to the boys sitting around me! . . . Please don’t hurt me! Japanese company New Era Fits are the creators of this gangster/nerd head wear. I cant wait to see what dorky things they put out next!

Pac-Man bling!

Pac-Man has resurfaced after many years! These rings are made out of silver and onyx, but don’t worry I wouldn’t get too attached, coz they are already sold out! Just think about how nice it would have been to receive this for the holiday! Let's just hope Diva makes a copy so we can get it before Easter!

Princeton leaders in intellect and now. . . fashion?

Top American University Princeton, are introducing a new subject called "Model Memoirs: The Life Stories of International Fashion Models." I love it, models are not supposed to be smart, but now they are taking over a university near you! The course description focuses on “Exploring the life-writing of American, African, and Asian women in the fashion industry as a launching point for thinking about race, gender, and class. How do ethnicity and femininity intersect? How are authenticity and difference commodified? How do women construct identities through narrative and negotiate their relationships to their bodies, families, and nations? This course will include guest lectures by fashion editors and models; discussions of contemporary television programs, global fashion, and cultural studies; and student self-narratives about their relationships with cultural standards of beauty, whether vexed or not.” The sample-reading list consists of biographies from international models such as Alek Wek, Irina Pantaeva, Jillian Shanebrook and Waris Diric.

When bad fashion happens to good Kittys!

When bad fashion happens to good Kittys!

Japanese fashion label United bamboo have moved from ladies wear into cat wear.  I didn’t get the memo but apparently Tokyo is the cat’s fashion capital! While they are at it they may as well get a pawdicure as well! I wonder if any of them ask themselves “does this outfit make my fur look fat?”. Really when would cats ever need to wear clothes? There are people dying in this world from starvation and they are making clothes for cats!

Those carbs will go straight to your toes.

Twin brothers and designers R&E Praspaliauskas have created a collection of shoes made entirely of bread. The Carbolicious shoes come in an array of designs and dough pieces. Thank-god it’s not a one size fits all! Children’s sizes are also available. Each pair cost 26 Euros and comes packaged like any other shoe… in a box.
