Finding the perfect ‘APAture’

Are you looking for a fashion show to go to this weekend? Do you want it to have a bunch of emerging Asian American designers? Well you’re in luck! The Kearny Street Workshop and the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center are gearing up for APAture Runway III: Third Annual Fashion Show of Emerging Asian American...

Margiela’s WTF Fall 2009 Couture collection

What the hell. That is not a question. That is a statement. What. The. Hell. I love Maison Martin Margiela. I’m a fan. But his affinity for the avant garde can just be too out there for me sometimes. You can call me a hater; you can tell me that “I just don’t get it”...

Dior goes retro and raunchy

The Paris Couture fashion shows are a virtual eyegasm of clothing. It’s fashion at its best. It takes clothing to a whole different level with conceptual ideas, fine fashion design and garments that we probably will never ever see on a normal human being. Today, in the office, my colleagues and I took a gander...

A red carpet moment with Jennifer Siebel Newsom

I have been doing TONS of red carpet coverage lately. First there was the ONEXONE event with Matt Damon, Wyclef Jean and Josh Groban, then there was yesterday’s Milk premiere with an avalanche of celebs like Emile Hirsch, Joseph Cross, Josh Brolin, Allison Pill, Diego Luna, James Franco and Sean Penn. Then there was the...

Estelle, playing darts, Halston and other stuff

As I sit here watching (but not paying attention to) a DVR’d episode of Heroes and worrying about a big Hayward fault earthquake (it’s the 140th anniversary of the famous quake – isn’t it morbid in how they celebrate that shit?), I am forcing myself to post because my brain is drained from writing all...

Old news: Macy’s Passport

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Macy’s Passport in San Francisco and I took Steve and Charles as my plus two. There was lots of food and I didn’t get hit on once. However, Charles and Steve did. I mean, why didn’t I get hit on? I am an angel. I am ethereal....

Kenley needs to break out

Kenley, the retro Dita-Von-Teese-in-training, on Project Runway was cute and lovable at first, but now – the bitch just needs to shut the hell up and learn to take criticism. For real, why does she think she’s all high and mighty? First she tries to “set Heidi straight” and then she questions Tim’s style suggestions....

Project Runway? More like Project BORE-way!

Wow. The title of this post is beyond un-funny. Bravo Photo: Barbara Nitke And is it me, or is this season of Project Runway turning out to be mind-numbingly boring? I’ve tried to like it and get really involved, but I’m just not feeling it. So many of the designers are turning out to be...

A ‘Project Runway’ jungle!

What do you do when you’ve already had Sex and the City fashion icon Sarah Jessica Parker on Project Runway? Well, you work your way down the “four cosmopolitan women in Manhattan” food chain and ask Brooke Shields from Lipstick Jungle to be a guest judge. Okay, okay – Brooke Shields’ style expands above and...

Project Runway reincarnates the skort

Thank God we were spared the third-person torture of the blue-hawked Suede. Instead we were subject to the incessant tanning talk from Blayne, Kenley’s irritating school girl giggling and a pair of skorts courtesy of Joe. This week, the designers were introduced to speed skating Olympiad turned “Dancing with the Stars” hunk, Apolo Anton Ohno...

Project Runway explores Manhattan nightlife!

Dino-Ray watched Project Runway last night. Dino-Ray has yet to be 100 percent entertained by this season’s batch of designers. Dino-Ray is already tired of hearing Suede talk about himself in the third person. Dino-Ray is about to write his take on last night’s show. Last night our designers went out into the urban jungle...

Oh wow! Project Runway Philippines?

This is quite exciting. I love hearing Filipino accents. It premiered last night and unfortunately, I don’t get the ETC channel. What a great way to represent the homeland! I wonder if this Pinoy version of Pro-Run is going to have a BARONG or MARIA CLARA challenge. Or maybe a Tinikling costume challenge. What if...
