Sunday Caption Contest: Necrophiliac Edition

Sunday, March 21st, 2010
By raincoaster

I’m in a strangely morbid mood lately, so here are deceased fashion icons Isabella Blow and Alexander McQueen, in possibly the world’s most bizarre fashion photo. It was taken, of course, by the famously bizarre David LaChappelle for Vanity Fair’s Cool Brittania feature.

You know what to do, so do it in the comments section for fabulous imaginary prizes!

Friday Caption Contest Results: Hermes Edition

Our image of last week was apparently so terrifying that only an intrepid brace of commenters dared to risk snarking it. Congratulations to the winner of this historic and heated  coiffure to coiffure battle:

The family Hermes uses the Star Gate to bring ancestors forward in time to battle the evil Fashion Troll…

Congratulations and imaginary swag to Jennie, whose reference to our favorite Fashion Troll cinched the win for her. Her prize for such captivating captioning? What else but a beautiful, virtual Hermes Birkin, stolen straight from the lap of Euro superstar Jane Birkin. Here she is at the Jean Paul Gaulthier show being distracted by the twinkling lights coming from inside Anna Piaggi’s head while I sneak up on her from the other side:

Here’s a better look, this time at Eva Longoria’s navy version: Ooooh, pretty!

Friday Caption Contest Results: Norwegian Curling Pants Edition

Saturday, March 6th, 2010
By raincoaster

It’s hard to imagine any remark which would be as memorable as the pants themselves (the true Olympic breakout stars, Johnny “Fierce” Weir notwithstanding) but our intrepid captioners gave it their best shot. Please insert appropriate curling metaphor here, because I don’t know any. So, let’s pick out the “bon”-est spiel and award it the prize.

“Alright guys, the first rule of funnypants squeegee club is DO NOT TALK ABOUT FUNNYPANTS SQUEEGEE CLUB.”

Congratulations and imaginary swag to Ian! Our imaginary swag for this week:

Norwegian curling pants

Yes, what else but the totally stylin’ Dixie golf pant, otherwise known as the Norwegian Curling Pant? Wear them with pride, or at least with shades to cut the glare.

Everybody SING!

You’ll recall our stunning view from last week:
Feb. 20, 2010 - Whistler, British Columbia, Canada - epa02044725 Sweden's Marcus Hellner (R no.2) celebrates after winning the men's 30km Pursuit Cross Country Skiing race in Whistler, 20 February 2010, during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games. title=

Lack of snow due to warm weather forces Olympic officials to truck in tons of cocaine.

Congratulations and imaginary swag to first-time winner ian. Naturally, the imaginary prize must be up to the same tasteful standard. Here, how about a fabulous room of mirrors to go with that mountain of coke?

Friday Caption Contest: Norwegian Curling Pants Olympic Edition

You know what to do, so do it in the comments. And I PROMISE this is the last Olympic one, unless Sven Kramer takes his shirt off, in which case you’ll all thank me for posting it, trust me.

Saturday Caption Contest: Ski Bum Edition

Sunday, February 21st, 2010
By raincoaster

Okay, so it’s not a fashion pic per se. Still, who’s complaining about the view?

Cross Country Skiing

Do your best/worst in the comments to explain what excuse Sweden’s Marcus Hellner has for being the last man standing at the finish line of the Men’s 30km Cross-Country Event.

By the way, from a purely self-interested, non-medal standpoint, the Dutch are completely walking away with this Olympics. Heineken House is THE party house (an amazing achievement, given that it’s in sleepy Richmond suburbia), they have the hottest athletes (even if they are dressed like cartoon characters), and they also take the gold medal for attitude.

Saturday Caption Contest Results: Joan Collins Edition

Sunday, February 21st, 2010
By raincoaster

Several of you braved the terrifying spectacle of this Eighties icon risen anew, and captioned, and captioned well. But, just as in a catfight, there can be only one winner.

Joan Collins is terrifying

Blake said those curtains were useless. Well, nobody makes a fool of Alexis.

Darn tootin’! And now, to the presentation of the fabulous imaginary swag. Our 80’s themed hypothetical trophy for this week: a genuine Bob Mackie silk velvet burnout tunic, just the thing to wear for scratching the eyeballs out of your romantic rivals.

Bonus catfight, for old time’s sake:
