I was going to make fun of this woman for dressing like a lesbionic Martian flapper, but then I looked at the fine print and realized HOLY SHIT THAT’S VERUSCHKA and she is entitled to dress any way she likes.

Veruschka has always dressed that way, it turns out

Bag it!

Sunday, June 27th, 2010
By raincoaster

Canvas "Birkin"

via X Y Z

Looking for a trendy bag on a budget? No need to comb eBay for the now-legally-restricted Jelly Kelly (as I learned from tragic experience, that translucent plastic they’re made of sucks up dirt and will NOT let it go, so they don’t last even if they are totally waterproof). Now you can get your green on and go cheap chic at the same time with these charming, witty, probably illegal 100% canvas Birkin-printed bags. Sadly likely to go off the market soon because Hermes is NOT down with the “right to satire” statutes, and guaranteed NOT to be waterproof, so even in the realm of knockoffs, inferior to the immortal Kelly bag.

Friday Caption Contest Results: Neil Patrick Harris Edition

Don’t forget to enter our current contest featuring the always-risible Paris Hilton.

This was one of our fiercest battles yet, but at last we have a winner:

Max Says:
June 19th, 2010 at 2:55 am

“Your turn to find the soap Babe.”

It was a tough call between that and Jenny’s fountain joke, but the possibilities Max’s line brings to mind are pleasant indeed to dwell upon, are they not? So, yeah, the perv factor is what clinched it.

To first-time winner Max, whose quiz results say she is a High Heeled Boot and who pines for these buckled booties but had to send them back and besides, they were Jessica Simpson, we hypothetically present the imaginary trophy of these devastatingly sexy, high-heeled, buckled boots from my favorite demented Italian designer, Giuseppe Zanotti:

zanotti buckled boots YOU KNOW YOU WANT THEM

And if you’re wondering why NPH contest = shoe prize, you haven’t seen this:

Today’s trendoid is not complete without a green machine. Which of these designer contraptions will wheel away with your heart?

The economical $3500 Hermes:

Or what about the veddy, veddy posh $17,000 Chanel (at that price it should come with a decorative manservant to pedal)

Or, if geek-flavoured laziness is your thing, how about a nice Chanel Segway?
