This is terrifying and sad, readers. It is nothing more nor less than the death of childhood. Turns out Snufalupagus, everyone’s secret favorite Sesame Street character, has finally turned up, in the most tragic way possible.

SNUFFY!!!!

I mean, that’s not even a good colour for Aretha!

Dear readers, we have a confession to make. While we’re aware of the talents of the original YSL, of Halston, of even He Who Shall Not Be Named, we are, frankly, always up for a little more fun than they typically represent. A little fillip. A little mod in our mode, if not, indeed, a little mad.

We have found our perfect spirit animal. He is sleek. He is chic. He is petit. And he is probably worth about $150 a pelt to the Europeans.

Despite being a He rather than a She, this arctic ribbon seal that showed up, somehow, a mile upriver from the Pacific near Seattle must nonetheless be acknowledged to embody the same light-hearted yet rigorous line as the creations of fabled Sixties icon André Courrèges.

We shall call him André!

What DID the classic icons of Hollywood do when they messed up a line?

What a difference a decade and a dye job make.

Bye Bye 2011, Hello there 2012

Say goodbye to 2011 and HelLO SAILOR to 2012! It can’t possibly suck ass as hard as last year, can it?

2011

I’ll be enjoying a quiet night at home by the fire, and maybe a little hot tubbing with my imaginary boyfriend later. You?

Marilyn is hot

How I love the interwebs. You could just be minding your own business, trawling the celebusphere for evidence of poor accessorizing amongst the Kardashian Klan when suddenly, you’re confronted with the world’s most compelling BEFORE picture: stark evidence that while our fascination with glamour may result in some remarkable transformations, that these do not come without pain or their share of ugliness.

On that note, let me present to you what has been described as “the funniest skit in tv history,” Mrs Brown’s Bikini Wax from RTÉ Television in Ireland.

Looks like a dead badger on flypaper.

Adrien Brody is Blue

Adrien, I don’t know what the new look is doing for you, but it’s certainly coloured my perception of you. Still not getting you a gig on Avatar II: Avatarded.
