SISTER WOLFF - Happy to accept Pity but perfers Money!

2010-12-08T19:40:00.000-08:00

Sister Wolff calls herself a blogger of truth as she see it, called "Godammit I'm Mad!", and always happy to take a shot of pure hate at any other blogger that has even slight success. I won't name them, they know who they are.....and so does any reader of her hate filled blog. She has recently lost her son to suicide and claims that is the reason for her vindictiveness, she must have been psychic because her vitriol goes back much further then his suicide. She has made her choices and now is asking for your help, it seems her roof leeks and rather then get a job, would prefer that her readers make donations out of pity for her plight. Comments are Closed! We wonder why?

RARE VINTAGE DOES CHANEL WRONG!

2010-11-02T16:04:00.000-07:00

Tell me true! Do you really want to inquire to purchase a mega ($$$$$) CHANEL Haute Couture gown from 1976. Lets recap, Coco died in 1971.....the house of Chanel was hanging on due to perfume sales not creativity of design.....yet RARE VINTAGE is hoping you will fall in love. How do we know this? She has lovingly sent it across the country to be cleaned($$$$$$$) by The French Laundry in California just for you and her love of ($) vintage, then she has taken multiple photos to show it in all its beautifully cleaned splendor even showing you a press photo originally published in 1976. Yet while she was dressing the mannequin to be photographed she must have been looking down at her important($$$$$$$) Valentino Studded Spike Heels because if it actually closes like her photos I'm not sure how desirable($) it would be to any lover or collector of vintage. I doubt Cameron would approve.......how about you?

JULIANA CAIRONE - I Love Vintage Damn It!

2010-09-12T22:20:00.000-07:00

Sometimes vintage just isn't enough as proven by Juliana Cairone here at Bergdorf Goodman for Fashion Night Out. All we have to say is she should have stuck with vintage. Doesn't this look just make you want to rush to 24 W. 57th Street. Yeah, us too! We found it inspirational as well.....LOL.....it inspires us to avoid being a FASHION VICTIM. www.RAREVINTAGE.com

RACHEL ZOE - Gives it to us Good!

2010-06-16T13:09:00.000-07:00

Rachel Zoe wants to give us even more so she is launching her own clothing line. Featured on the cover of Woman's Wear Daily to make the announcement. No wonder no one reads the WWD rag any longer. Promising to wear it at every possible photo op to show her belief in her brand and make us want it, cause GOD knows it will be as cheap and ill made as her straight from CHINA pleather and gilt crap that she shills on QVC. However, until we see her wearing it just out and about we will say HYPE at every opportunity we find. Until then dear reader we just say.......ZOE WHAT !

ELEGANZA AWARD

Marisa Tomei

A classic white blouse paired with

a slim black skirt......some say dull.

Fashion Tip:

Taking one well crafted fashion piece

and making it the focal point while

downplaying the rest will give a look

a certain elan.

In case the pundits of style

have forgotten its called

"ELEGANCE"

a trait not often seen in the

Hollywood fishbowl.

HYPED TREND OFF

Sailor Jacket

If this is the best trend an

"uberstylist"

has to offer......then there

is a problem somewhere!

This jacket is from A.P.C.

which is also styled by

CB-W

however for a fresher look

hit a thrift find a true

sailor jacket with some interesting

braid, throw it over a turtleneck

and some jeans that actually

fit and make that statement.....

one not looking like your

homeless as well as style less.

HYPE FASHION ROADKILL

Mary McFAdden

Mary was heard to say that clothes

today were:

utilitarian

indistinct

cheap

and that we were

fat.

I wonder if she had this to say before

or after she put on this

"MUMU"

which looks

utilitarian

indistinct

cheap

and makes her look

fat.

Louis Vuitton

As soon as the LV show was over

Marc was backstage passing out

this tasseled heel to all his favorite

mag rag editors.......

(he had plenty of favorites

till the shoes ran out)

now that's the way to cheaply

buy editorial space.

Is that what they mean by

"FREE"

a great idea.

110 in the shade and all that.

the collection could use

a bit less fringe and a
