Eva Green vampira

God, I love Eva Green; she frightens me, and it takes a LOTTA fierce to do that. I’m posting this picture for several reasons, even though the makeup is uneven, and black eyeliner forgives nothing:

• car wash skirts 4 eva! If you have the knees for them, very few things look as good.
• minimal, make that no jewelry; it takes confidence to pull that off in the Age of Bling, but if the dress is remarkable enough, it doesn’t need sparklies.
• those shoes. Those SHOES!

I own those shoes. Thank you, Eva Green, for giving me reason to feel fabulous, if only by proxy.

In a similar vein, but a slight variation, these Dolce & Gabbana pumps:

I woulda lost a bet: not ONE of you went for the Austin Powers angle when presented with Richard Simmons in an outfit he stole from my mother in one of her manic periods. But we had some good entries, and now we have a winnah!

After putting so much work into his e-Harmony profile, Richard was crushed to find out that Elton John was already married.

Awww, isn’t that always the way: the best ones are either married or gay! Or both! And now for the ceremonial presentation of the imaginary hypothetical prize. In this case, it has to be something just as fabulous as little Richard here, which narrows it down considerably. To second-time champ Natalie we virtually present this swinging Alberto Gozzi Optical Sky Blue Hobo Bag to rock the flower power.

You know what to do, so do it to Richard Simmons in the comments:

It’s time for a roundup! Next time I remember to tag my posts correctly so I can find them again. A triple-header of captions:

Sarah felt a little self-conscious in her budget WallE costume.

Since everyone was struck speechless except iGirl99, and she won the previous one, we’re going to call this Foul, and I’m sure that’s something on which we can all agree.

Now, imaginary prizes for our champs Salome Valentine and iGirl99: First, for Salome, something highly Capoteable: a sterling silver cocktail straw from Tiffany & Co. featuring Capote’s favorite accessory: the monkey on his back.

And for iGirl99, we have the hipster-approved Dr Martens Rafi Saddle Shoe for true rockabilly style:

Say hello to your new favorite blog: HalloweenOrWilliamsburg!

Morpheus of Williamsburg

“You take the blue pill — the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill — you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

What? No, I’m not ‘supposed to be Morpheus.’ I’m trying to sell you ecstasy.”

Just when you thought making fun of hipsters was dead, it springs back to life like the unstoppable killer in a slasher flick, only with less interpersonal engagement. Hours of fun for the whole family, starting with your family right here at the Manolosphere. We’ve scoured the far reaches of that week-old blog to bring you the finest in Caption Contest entertainment, so sharpen your claws and get to work in the comments:

I can see clearly now...that I look like an idiot

Kanye is Pre-Occupied

Kanye West Occupied Wall Street yesterday, wearing $30,000 of clothing and accessories (not counting the necklaces). Yes, that’s a Givenchy plaid shirt, not a $15 Mark’s Work Warehouse one. You can totally tell, right? I know! It’s as if he’s in costume as a time traveler from 1992,come to kidnap John Cusack and take him back to the Land of Poorly Thought Out Sequels. Please, Kanye, leave our GenX icons and crunchy granola protesters alone!

Contrary to popular opinion, our boots up in Canuckistan are not just made for running behind dogsleds. Sometimes they are made for  Marcher.

There you go: living proof textured hose are NOT your friend. Brave of her to allow herself to be shot from below while wearing a miniskirt, but then Quebec was always transgressive that way.

And should you care to compare and contrast with the Nancy Sinatra version, here you go:

Go on, pull the other one

Sixtysomething survivor Phoebe Price waits patiently for the Jolly Green Giant to come and take her away to that big Soundstage in the Sky. When he does get there, she wants to be totally ready for her closeup and to that end, has been consulting with her surgeon.

Hollywood sez: Go Big or Go Home!

The one on the right would look totally natural, Phoebs
