Discreet Objects of Desire

Every now and then the interwebs show you something so breathtakingly perfect that you have to stop cold and simply admire in silent awe.

Ahem.

I refer, of course, to this little item featured by Bergdorf Goodman’s Tumblr.

DFJR's lighter

I don’t even smoke and yet I stand in awe of this marvelous little hunk of machined metal. It is a thing of beauty and a joy forever and, if you Santa finds he can’t quite deliver the items on my list (Julian Assange in brown leather jeans and handcuffs) he should know that Douglas Fairbanks Jr’s lighter would be an acceptable substitute. As would Douglas Fairbanks Jr!

Past. Tense.

Dolly Parton is a little uptight

Dolly Parton is a little uptight

It’s the strangest thing: of all the words in the world used to describe Dolly Parton’s wardrobe, “Uptight” is the last that should come to mind. That was, of course, before she appeared in public in this Wicked Witch of the West as Biker Stripper outfit. If the foundation garments rupture, it’ll ruin the Higgs Boson experiment.

What a tit.

Sure. It makes total sense to me. She’s the wife of an executive at Rovio, which produces app juggernaut Angry Birds, and she just wanted to fly the flag for her husband’s company. Makes total sense.

But why is she wearing the pasty on the outside?

Bangin’

Bang on, Taylor Swift!

Bang on, Taylor Swift!

LOVE the hair, love the makeup, the shoes would be better if they fit and didn’t look so much like a stripper’s figure skates, and the dress is lovely.

However.

Worst. QuadraBoobie. Evar!

Kudos to Kate! She and I both landed new jobs this week: mine, reporter, hers, house elf.

Friday Caption Contest Results: Christmas Spike Edition

Santa’s just added one witty commenter to his Naughty List; that’s what I call a credential!

Spike is sad he missed out on that part in Bridget Jones's Diary

Shut down at the Buffy Christmas Party, Spike regrets the consulting fee he paid Derek Zoolander.

That’s two wins now for Natalie! And what has Santa Spike got in his sack for her this time? What could be better than a collection of Mark Roberts ’12 Days of Christmas’ Fairies?

Snow Bargain

We here at Manolosphere Global HQ were thrilled to the soles of our Manolos at the news that our beloved Uncle Karl Lagerfeld will be snowglobeified for Sephora’s Asian and European customers this year. Alas, Kaiser Karl has not allowed his gold-flecked mini-me to be sold to vulgar old Yanks, Meskins, or Canuckistanis. In these revolutionary times, I suggest we strike back! Fabulous (and fabulously-overpriced) ironic snow globes for EVERYONE!

Instead of this:

Snow matter

Buy this:

Yes. A $190, completely empty snow globe from Maison Martin Margiela. It perfectly represents our time: the emperor got dressed and put his hood up.
