RIP Flattus Maximus

Flattus Maximus = Flattus Linus

Yes, GWAR guitarist Flattus Maximus (also known as Cory Smoot) has left the planet. When not Christmas Caroling with his heavy metal bandmates, Flattus was one of the most respected musicians ever to wear latex Triceratops epaulets, and his loss will be felt by many, particularly those who’ve always been after his job.

It’s amazing what some people will do to get out of playing Edmonton.

Fashion’s Loss: RIP Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs: only Coco herself had such flair

Today the fashion world is poorer for the loss of one of its great muses, Steven Paul Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer. As with the great DV, he found his look early, and stuck with it, eschewing the bow ties of his wild youth and reaching again and again for the guy’s version of the LBD: a pair of 501′s, some New Balance sneaks, and a St. Croix mock turtleneck (in the early, lean, NeXT years, it was Gap). As always, true style didn’t go unnoticed: among those he inspired is Ralph Rucci:

What is “wholly originally…. ow[ing[] absolutely nothing to any precedent?”

“Three things: White cotton T-shirt, a pair of 501 Levi Strauss jeans, and a black cashmere turtleneck.”

PROOF!

You can give the Steve Jobs Paper Doll a new look at this fun site (I like the KISS outfit), or take a voyeuristic stroll through his closet.

iWear think different dress alike

Also: nobody ever believes me he was hot back in the day, but look for yourself.

Katie Holmes is tight, tucked

and, apparently, oblivious to the fact that her dress is caught in her pantyhose.

Let’s toast the fact that WE are not, as Gallagher says, walking around with our clothes tucked into our underwear, with a Kilt Lifter Ale and a sigh of relief.

RIP Louise Bourgeois

The world has lost not only one of its great sculptors, but one of the last living avatars of those delightfully tarnished angels who used fashion with originality and humour, rather than allowing themselves to be used by it. There’s only Anna Piaggi and Daphne Guinness left now.

Louise: Say hi to Millicent Rogers and Isabella Blow for us; I’m SURE they’ll be happy to see you.

Britney’s Rigging Links

Yes, yes, boring I know. Herbal tea gossip links just don’t have the dash of cocktail links, but what can I say? I’m giving my liver a month off for bad behaviour. It’s probably snorting Drano with Lindsay Lohan in Ibiza right this very moment.

Here’s a pic of Old Four Eyes to soften the disappointment.

This week we pay special tribute to the late great Paul Newman, one of the best-loved and brightest stars of all time. Take a wistful look at the photo montage below and identify the movies starring this famously handsome leading man.

Answers will be put up on Wednesday morning. In the meantime I will be calling in sick so that I can enjoy a movie marathon of his memorable performances while snacking on some Newman Own’s popcorn.
