Fashion’s new cinematic guru: R.J. Cutler
On its opening weekend, The September Issue was the 5th highest all-time per screen average opening weekend for a documentary. Yeah – that feat does sound like a reach, but for a film about fashion, it’s quite an accomplishment. Grace Coddington (left) and Anna Wintour: Vogue’s high priestesses Director R.J. Cutler was the man behind...
Jay-Z knows his fashion labels
Wasn’t it funny how Lil Mama made a fool of herself on Sunday night when she had the bright idea to hop on stage while Jay-Z and Alicia Keys at the VMAs? With that out of the way, I have been dissecting his latest tune, “Run This Town” featuring Rihanna and Kanye “I keep on...
Sponge bracelets are so hot right now
I get a lot of random press releases in my inbox. Every now and then, there is one item that is so worth writing about that I just can’t contain myself: Why didn’t anyone think of this earlier? This is pure genius. Perhaps these On The Cuff people should team up with the Snuggie people...
Busted by Blackberry: furry boots and embellished jeans
Saw these poor unfortunate souls last week while walking on the street. I decided to take candid pictures of them with my Blackberry and share them with the world: This guy can be easily forgiven. Even though the embellishments on his jeans are highly unnecessary, I just think he needs guidance. This girl on the...

Move over vampires, here come the werewolves
Tweens are in a frenzy as the countdown to the werewolf-centric New Moon movie has commenced (it’s out in theaters November 20 so be prepared for a lot of sugar coated squealing). Taylor Lautner is about to “eclipse” (pun intended) Robert Pattinson as the new supernatural “it” boy as he plays the the third point...

The number 9 is getting tons of publicity this year
Is this pure coincidence? Did the scientists in the pop culture lab strategically plan this so that the number would be painted all over the place in this particular year? I don’t recall the number 8 being really big in 2008. And no offense to the number 9, but I think 8 is a way...
Calvin Klein male model search: Americans need not apply
Calvin Klein is making a call out to male models everywhere so that they can drop trow and show their tighty whities a la Marky Mark circa 1992. According to NBC New York’s blog, The Thread, this is how it’s gonna go down: Here’s how the competition, called “9 Countries, 9 Men, 1 Winner,” will...

I want me some ‘Good Hair’
Chris Rock is the perfect guy for this documentary… Creamy crack. That sounds like a nice breakfast cereal. I believe this one comes out into select theaters on October 9 and then expands nationally on October 23. And don’t worry, there is some brief partial nudity in this one.

Wrongness that is worth repeating
I posted this on my Facebook page a while back and I just needed to post it again. I saw this homegirl on 25th and Mission and I have no idea what is going on here. It’s like a gladiator sandal and a combat boot decided to have a bastard child. And don’t even get...
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”...
