Great One

People who dismiss fashion as silly fluff are missing the point. Some of the great creative geniuses of our time are fashion designers and Alexander McQueen was one of them. I am so sad he's gone. And yes, this is a serious post. Tim Blanks has already written a very fitting tribute for Style.com that everyone should read: http://www.style.com/stylefile/2010/02/alexander-mcqueen-rip/. It is so true that often the most beautiful minds are also the most fragile.

Cool Hand

Every once in a while someone comes up with a super cool/original idea that makes me jealous I didn't come up with it on my own. For one, Kate Moss is such a bad a$$. She is the mayor of Kate Moss world, where it's totally legit to do coke for the sole purpose of being thin and date anemic rockers and pull off polka dots with stripes AND jorts with tights. I mean seriously she can literally, figuratively do no wrong. So how annoyed am I that she is wearing her supposed engagement ring on her middle finger? Because if that isn't punk rock I don't know what is. I mean, by definition NOT punk rock to even have an engagement ring to begin with, but if there must be an engagement ring at all, she has figured out a way to do it up right. And everyone else is a wanker, OK?

Cop Out

So how do we feel about this new movie with Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis, “Cop Out”? I’ve been eyeing it suspiciously like one of those airbrushed t-shirts with a howling wolf. There’s something kitschy about it, and catchy, yes. It’s probably best if worn (or watched) ironically. And perhaps that is the whole point. I mean, why else throw Sean William Scott Thomas Miller into the cast if not for kicks? And really, Tracy Morgan could stand on a soundstage picking his nose for three hours and I would probably die laughing.
