Fashion Icon Friday: Models - 70s and 80s Styyyyle

This started as an ode to Lauren Hutton, who I think is pretty frigging fabulous, then I came across a post on my homegirl GiGi's blog, A Non Desperate Housewife, which if you have not visited, do yourself a favor and get thee hence, because she pretty much rocks (Amy and I have decided she is our long-lost sister-in-fashion) and ANYHOOZLE, Mz. GiGi admitted to a girl crush on Theodora Richards, daughter of Patti Hansen and Keith Richards, and I thought - oh WAIT - Patti is GORGEOUS, she has to be included with Lauren Hutton too, which led me to thoughts of Gia Carangi, who was beautiful and tragic and wild, so I felt like I needed to include her as well and then I decided to just wrap it all up in a Fashion Icon Friday post and be done with it.

Merci!

Holy crap this was amazing!

Shan,

SHUT UP IN YOUR FACE! I was going to discuss this with you once you watched SYTYCD this week. That's why I asked yesterday if you'd watched yet. Freaky.

I loved this. Not quiiiiiiite as much as Mia's Addiction piece last season but almost. Dealing with an anxiety disorder means I have a lot of experience with fears, so this really hit home. The end...where she pushes him down...guh...love it.

And, Legacy...yum. He did a great job. Hot AND sensitive. Like looking in a mirror almost. Oh, what?

Blog-O-The-Week: Garance Dore

Much like her paramour The Sartorialist, Garance Dore is a blogger who brings fashion to the blogosphere in the MOST poetic, beautiful, sublime manner.

Merci!

Shan

This is perfection. The light, her expression, the gloves. Sigh.

I am dying with envy over these Balmain boots. DYING.

Guh. Swoon. Thud.

If this isn't the sexiest office attire I have ever seen, I don't know what is. I think I blacked out at that blouse.

Buh-nananas.

Now You're Just Pissing Me Off.

So this is what it has come to? I am so bored with Project Runway that I FORGOT to do my recap? Yep, that about sums it up. Let's keep this short and sweet.

Ames: Word. I believe my reply to your, "Durrr, I forgot to post the PR recap" was, "Because the show sucks." I may be paraphrasing. And by "paraphrasing" I mean "that is exactly what I said and meant."

Winner: Althea (aka - Bewb-tacula)

Shan: THIS won????!!!! Where were the snarky comments about how there was no boobie support, Heidi? Oh wait - I forgot - you save all of your snark for Gordana. Pants? Don't even make me say it. MC Hammer called, and boy is he PISSED that you shrunk his pants in the wash. Tank? Hated it. Well, mayhaps if there was some proper support for the girls, it would be okay, but as is? No thanks. Sweater, meh.

Now, Althea's sketch was TERRIFIC. If her outfit would have looked like this:

I could get on board with it. Maybe she can find work as a police sketch artist.

Ames: Agree becept I freaking love that sweater. I can not only get on board with that, but I can upgrade to first class if I need to because that action looks COMFORTABLE and I would be jealous if I saw someone wearing it. Which, as we know, is the mark of success.

Loser: Mr. Silver Pants

Shan: Yaaaaawnnnn....you stole my zipper collar idea, Irina is a bitch, yada yada yada, Logan, GO HOME! I AM sad, however, that Koji was also sent packing. She has grown to be one of my favorites.

Ames: Koji is gorgeous. Let's just agree on that. Let's also agree that if Logan would have been ugly he would have gone home sooner. I mean, duh, really. Just because we watch 353 hours of reality tv a week doesn't mean we're stupid.

Irina

Shan: Yeah, yeah, yeah - another outfit that Heidi loves. Big surprise there. I actually liked it until I saw it close up on TLo's Project Rungay blog.

That back is craptacular - like my grandma's sofa threw up on her. Yes, the sweater was cool, but for the love of Doug Henning, CAN WE GET A LITTLE FRIGGING COLOR IN DA HOUSE, DESIGNERS??????

Thank you, Mr. Henning. I feel better now, even if it IS all just an ILLLLUUUUUUUSION.

Ames: Thank you, Ms. Shannan for the Henning. You know Pablo and I do that voice all the time here at the CASA DE VOICES. Maybe WE need our own reality show!

Now, Irina. Honey. Get over yourself. What I like about some of the clothes you make is overshadowed by what I don't like about how much you like all of the clothes you make.

Gordana

Shan: Grey, blah blah blah, boring, blabbity blah, nothing like the original fierce dress which I actually didn't mind in that color, her hair is turrible, yada yada, old maid, annnnnd SCENE.

Amy: Uh uh. No. No. No. Pass me the eye bleach.

Christopher:

Shan: Tell me again, WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?????

Amy Amy Bo Bamy: He's still here because she reallllllly wants to go to Bryant Park and he's her designer and oh no, I just admitted I watch the after show, Models of the Runway.

Daryl Carol Hannah:

Shan: Once again, my Favey Crockett of the night. Cute? Check. Wearable? Check check. Inspired by the original piece? Meh - maybe half a check. And finally, you had me at POCKETS.

Ames: Please win this season, Carol Darryl Hannah Montana. It's a well-documented fact (somewhere back in this blog that I'm too lazy to look up) that we loves us some pockets in dresses. So much easier to carry your flask. Am I right, ladieth?

Stuff We Would Kiss On THe Mouf: The Brothers Swoon

Oh, I mean The Brothers Bloom.

Shan, I'm gonna need to add Mark Ruffalo to my Top Five. He was always kinda teetering on the edge but after watching The Brothers Bloom this weekend I'm gonna have to give him the bump up.

Have you all seen this movie? It's sublime. I don't want to overhype, but I thought it was incredibly clever and funny and beautifully costumed and shot. Rachel Weisz is a doll and Adrien Brody was even kind of a sexy piece in this. Loved the costuming. Did I mention that?

Merci,
Ames
.
Ames,
Just watched the trailer - I hadn't even heard of the movie. Durrrrr. The first thing I thought was - WHERE did Rachel Weisz shop for her costumery? Fabulous Costumes R Us? Guh. Second thing? I always thought Adrian Brody was kind of cute in a weird way, especially after I saw him lay one on Halle Berry at the Oscar's. Thirdly - Robbie Coltrane? Have LOVED him ever since his ground-breaking role as "Man In the Bathroom" in European Vacation. And Mark Ruffalo? Well, well, well, Mr. Scruffy McFiveO'ClockShadow, you had me at Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Which I have only seen once and have always wanted to see again, so there's that. Not to mention Jim Carrey (who is no where near The Brothers Bloom) was so adorable and sensitive and so completely the antithesis of Ace Ventura (which I also loved but now I'm COMPLETELY off-track) that Eternal Sunshine just pushed my love of Mr. Carrey into a whole new arena.

And finally - I am glad you posted this, because I am TOTALLY counting it as my Monday post, since I had nothing else in my brain region for today.

So to recap: The Brothers Bloom - top of my list. Mark Ruffalo? Delicious. Rachel Weisz - calling her for shopping tips. Jim Carrey? Call me...
Shan

Open Post to Shan: Oh, great.

So tired of all this rain here and it’s Friday and I have the menses so I am rocking the pony and threw on a total Degeneres outfit with some black cazh pants, white tshirt that says “city of los angeles” on it with a skull and black rhinestones, a black jacket and chuck taylors this morning. Yeah, not thinking at ALL that the skull tee kinda looks like Halloween.

Now I’m so paranoid that it looks like I dressed up in a Holiday outfit. Not that anyone here cares but come ON….holiday outfits are ridiculous.

I think this is grounds to go home sick.

Boo,

Amy
