Matthew McConaughey Launches a Fashion Line
March 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Matthew McConaughey, the incredibly hot actor (who is also expecting a baby soon) who is known less for his fashion and more for his beach style, is launching a clothing line. And he’s playing off of his beach image to sell beach wear. Matthew said, “It will be a one-stop shop for everything you need for the beach.” Basically, the line will have t-shirts, swim clothes and Frisbees (I know my brother will appreciate the Frisbees, if nothing else).
The surf wear will be called “J.K. Livin, same as his production company, which is short for “Just Keep Livin’.” There’s no word on when the clothes will be released.
The Celebrities and the Oscars: Red Carpet Magic
February 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The Oscars didn’t have much of a viewing, but the Red Carpet was still amazing. The trend: red dresses, and many of them were simply beautiful. The accessories were also something to talk about.
Nicole Kidman wore a beautiful 14-carat diamond necklace that was just extraordinary. Sharon Stone, on the other hand, committed a horrible atrocity by wearing a rat’s claw broach. Rabbits feet may be good luck charms, but rat’s claws as hideous. I’m sure PETA is going to have a field day with that one.
Neither Cameron Diaz nor Renee Zellweger wore red on the Red carpet, and they both made incredibly different statements. Cameron exemplified beauty and class. Renee, however, looked worse than her Bridget Jones character did on her worst days.
What can we learn from the Oscars? Have someone tell you if you look all right before stepping out into the great, wide unknown - especially if 32 million people are going to be looking at you.
Lindsay Lohan on Cover of New Yorker: Emulates Marilyn Monroe
February 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Lindsay Lohan is no Marilyn Monroe. That said, it hasn’t stopped Bert Stern from emulating the photos he took of Marilyn Monroe over forty years ago with Lindsay as the model. He says he chose Lindsay because he thinks she has depth to her. He also said he picked her because she’s been one of the party girls, one of the “bad girls.” Marilyn was once Queen of the Tabloids, too.
And while Lindsay is no Marilyn, as you can see from the photo above, taken for the New Yorker, she doesn’t look bad, either.
If you’d like to see the pictures of the Marilyn photo shoot (for comparisons’ sake), you can go here to see The Last Sitting.
Kim Kardashian Poses for Bongo Clothing
February 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment
It’s nice to see Kim Kardashian posing for something that doesn’t make her look… that covers her up. Basically, it’s nice to see her using her curves for a good thing: Bongo clothing.
Kim says the reason she’s posing for Bongo is, “This is a fun, young, fresh campaign and I am honored to be a part of it. What I am excited about is how Bongo jeans fit. They hug my curves in all the right places.”
The thing that’s refreshing about Kim is she is a curvy girl, and she’s not ashamed of it or necessarily trying to change it.
Bongo clothing is available online.
Mark Indelicato: A Perfect Example of Men’s Fashion
February 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment
He may be only 13, but Mark Indelicato, a star on the TV show “Ugly Betty” proved that just because he’s young doesn’t mean he can’t have style. The young star shows that skinny jeans may be all the rage for the girls, but that doesn’t mean that boys can’t wear them, too.
I love how in the photo above Mark paired his dark blue skinny jeans with lighter clothes on top. He also layered the shirts - which is definitely in for everyone - a funky grunge shirt a vest and a nice jean jacket (at least it looks like jean) on top.
I think this look works for Mark because he is slim. He also looks confident - and everyone should portray confidence.
“Wrapped With Love” By Hilary Duff
February 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Hilary Duff had an amazing concert while she was in Sydney, Australia this weekend, with fans lining up early to talk to her. While there, she also announced the release of her latest perfume, “Wrapped With Love,” which is newly available in Australia.
Hilary said, “I don’t want to eat it, but it’s very yummy. It totally reminds me of summer time. It’s very sweet.” Sweet and summery is actually a pretty apt description of Hilary herself.
The singer-actress who has a rep as a do-gooder, “sexed up” her look for the concert, too. And she looked pretty hot! That’s the thing I love about Hilary. She knows what looks good on her, and she’s comfortable. She’s not ashamed of who she is. I wish everyone could have that confidence.
Paris Hilton Designs Shoes
January 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Paris Hilton is designing shoes, calling the collection “Paris Hilton Footwear.” The new line is designed for those who are fashionable, but who can’t (or don’t want to) drop tons of money for shoes. “I have always loved shoes, and after working on my recently launched sportswear and fragrance lines, this seemed like a natural next step.”
Of course, the shoes are going to have some pink in them (her obsession with the color makes me think of Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blond - although at least Elle was cute about it) and will be sold at Macy’s, Kitson and other boutiques. The “without spending a fortune” shoes will cost between $60 and $200, which is standard for celebrity-brand shoes (even the ones that are scary).
The line will be ready this spring and I can’t wait to see what they look like so I can decide whether or not they’re wearable. I’m guessing they will be - even if I won’t be able to afford them.
Angelina Jolie at the SAG Awards
January 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment
So here’s the question: did Angelina Jolie wear a tent, a baby-bump cover-up, or something from a high school science project to the SAG Awards? Personally, I’m thinking it’s a combination of the three. Her tent-like dress did nothing for her figure, although it would have hidden a baby bump - although there have to be better ways of doing it - and the colors - ugh.
Here’s the thing about the colors on this dress: Angelina technically should look good in shades of brown - she has brown hair and a darker complexion. I guess it’s the wrong shade. And then there’s black - black and brown in the dress? No no no.
If she’s pregnant, I’m happy for her. Angelina makes a great mom, and she clearly cares for her kids. However, she does need to wear something more flattering - or at least something that fits.
Kim Kardashian Poses For Travis Barker Fashion Line
January 24, 2008 | 1 Comment
Little A-list wannabe Kim Kardashian has agreed to pose - mostly naked - for the Travis Barker fashion line. I guess she thinks her assets will get her far in modeling - first in Playboy and now naked again. I guess you gotta do what you’re good at, right? As you can see, they’re kinda taking the girls and hot cars approach, copying the Louis-Vuitton approach.
In any case, Aubrey O’Day was also featured (also naked) for the fashion line, which is called, “Famous Stars and Stripes.” It might sound patriotic, but it isn’t.

Fergie’s Furthered Wardrobe Problems
January 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Fergie can always be counted on for a laugh, or more accurately, a grimace. The thing is, this time her outfit was nice, it wasn’t like she wore something ridiculous or laughable. (Like this)
Instead, it was that Fergie forgot to look in the mirror - or something. It reminds me of a part of L.M. Montgomery’s novel, “Rilla of Ingleside,” where Rilla goes to visit someone’s house - the house of someone she hates - and ends up going there with two different shoes on. One is a soft slipper matching her beautiful dress, and one is a big ugly boot. Rilla ends up vowing to never go out without looking at both her feet again. Fergie needs to vow to never go out - or onstage - without checking herself out in the mirror, or she’ll end up looking like this:
