Honey Boo Boo Chile

“SERIOUS INJURIES ONLY” that must be one hell of a Boo Boo! The outfit itself looks like a Bob Mackie-designed menstrual pad from the Whore of Babylon’s laundry bin.

Skarsgard had a little lamb

And boy was SHE lucky. But before you go bleating that she was under age, I will remind you this was taken in New Zealand.

Don’t hassle the Hoff. Not when he’s in that position

Happy Hoff Day everyone! Just celebrate very circumspectly; we don’t want to imagine what would happen to this dogpile if they got excited!

P.S. In August, The Hoff, will be appearing at the Leicester Square Theatre, in what’s being billed as an intimate and hilarious evening a one-man celebration of all things Hasselhoff (which means the Manolo has undoubtedly booked his London tour through Celebrity Planet.)

Clara Bow Knows

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how a lady accessorizes to read the Racing Form.

Katy Perry in red velvet

I’m glad I was sitting down when I saw this: possibly the most controversial outfit Katy Perry has ever worn. She of the firework boobs and pedo-trawling hot pants is still made up like Mrs John Wayne Gacy, and still has that unflattering Not-Sure-If-Worth-Marketing-To-Goths hair colour, but the dress, shoes and bag are actually lovely and normal. By which I mean famous clothes-remover Dita Von Teese could wear them. Briefly.

Andrew Garfield

Now that we’ve gotten over our technical difficulties, it’s time to celebrate with fantasy fair boyfriend Andrew Garfield. It was my birthday yesterday, so I just want you to know what a sacrifice it has been not to use Julian Assange again.

When discussing powerfully iconic items of American clothing, three of the most important are associated directly with Marlon Brando: the leather motorcycle jacket, Levi blue jeans, and the white crew neck t-shirt.

It is this famous image above, from the movie A Streetcar Named Desire, of Brando in his t-shirt, that has seared this item of clothing into our collective national consciousness as the symbol of dangerous and forbidden sexuality. From that point forward, wearing t-shirts as outer wear became not just acceptable, but actually cool, and young men who courted the Brando-like image for themselves, copied the style, down to the surly look. (Even today, a brand like Carhartt Streetwear, make plenty of reference to Brando’s look.)

From that starting point, as we moved forward into the 1960s and 70s, the simple white crew neck t-shrt was customized with slogans and symbols, peace signs and smiley faces; still one of the markers of rebellious youth, although the stark white had morphed into the colors of the rainbow, and been tie-dyed almost beyond recognition.

And yet the expressive power of the simple white t-shirt remains, still as evocative as it has been since Brando first brought it out from beneath his shirt.

Happy 70th, Ol’ Doe Eyes! Here’s to the world’s hottest vegetarian stoner senior!
