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.

Yes, the holiday season is upon us. And just because your show was cancelled years ago and you’ve really never come into your own since, that’s no reason not to dress for celebration. And captioning.

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

Every fashion blogger gets to use that headline once in her life.

FACT.

This post is sponsored by the fact that I’m down to my last pair of Asics and my sister just bought the Louboutin Forever Tinas and Anemones. Oh. Fine. SEE if I care. I’m SO OVER IT ALL!

No, it’s fine. I like my rubber boots. It’s totally fine.

You Are a Colorful and Vivacious Shoe

In life, you rather play than work. You’re apt to quit any task that doesn’t nourish your creativity and inner child. You are happiest in the comfort of your own home. You know how to make things nice for yourself.You are always interested in how and why things work. You are naturally curious. You love change and are able to adapt to any situation. You don’t have the typical fear of the unknown.

I’d like to be the Giuseppe Zanotti fishbone sandals in this video, even though they were only $775 when they came out:

and no, I never thought I would type those words.

Speaking of which, they have failed me at the sight of the below. Hopefully you are stronger, and can leave your captions in the comments.

Oh Reej.

Lady Gaga is all about the gheys

Lady Gaga has a lot on her mind lately. In related news, science has once again confirmed the link between the brains of gay males and straight females.

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!

Richard Simmons as Austin Powers

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:
