Another NY Fashion Week, another Heatherette show filled with debauchery, this time with a theme, The Wizard of Oz. The scandal...making NY editors wait in non stop lines only to be told, they don't have a seat for their fat ass or their ginormous head.
Once inside the tent itself, we joined an oceanic line that would allegedly lead us to our seat assignments. But instead of moving forward, the way lines are supposed to, this one went nowhere. No one was checked in. No one was happy. And no one could figure out what the hell was happening. Every few minutes, someone clutching an invite would get fed up and storm out. "This is RIDICULOUS," said one man, as he swept past us. "If it were Alexander McQueen, I'd stay, but ..."
Eventually, even the PR girls in charge of seat assignment conceded defeat. One of them literally blanched and then took off running in the opposite direction when someone approached to ask a question (We assume the question was along the lines of, "What the hell happened to my seat?"). We never saw her again.
Many had to watch the show on big screens in the lobby. As usual the show was a huge tongue in cheek party:
There is no holding back at Heatherette. The clothes, which they don't even sell anywhere, are just a flimsy excuse for a big, fun party. Richie Rich and Traver Rains wormed their way into the system and are exploiting the hell out of it for their own amusement.

Verizon doesn't have the Blackberry Pearl, nor will they have the Apple iPhone in June. If you want to stick it to the man and get out of your Verizon cel phone contract, no matter how long it is, without paying the $175 cancellation fee, get on the phone and follow this script.
Reprinted from Consumerist:
IMPORTANT NOTE: You will have a lot more difficulty arguing this if you're on a text-message plan. Be sure to cancel any text-message plans first before attempting.
Verizon Wireless Cancel Script

2. Call Verizon at (800) 922-02043. Ask them if the change applies to you. They will say yes.

No. Please no more. Stop. That's what a lot of people are saying about the styles that came down the runway during fashion week. Above is a John Galliano's fanciful designs. Where exactly I'm supposed to wear that, I have no idea. But I think he does women's "artistic" clothes better than he does mens'.
Next up is this mess by Comme des Garçons. I'm not this gay. Nor will I ever. So don't even think it. Platform shoes are only to be worn after you and your friends have all had a laugh about being Charo for Halloween. Then you fall back on the more realistic idea of being a 'go-go girl' from the 60's. Next...
This final ensemble, if you can even call it that. Is what I like to call Strawberry Quik with a Coupon. It's by Louis Vuitton. The bag is the only workable thing in this mess, but that's 'cuz it ain't strawberry nor quik, and was probably designed by Marc Jacobs, who, if I'm not mistaken is still designing handbags over there at the house of Vuitton.
Maybe this week's New York's Fashion Week will lift our spirits with some wearable styles. One can only wish.
I love luxury. But hate paying for it. When shopping for clothes, I try and grab designer fashion from sample sales, or discount racks, then blend them out with a jacket from Target. As long as people start thinking you the type to pay for designer crap, when you feature a K-Mart couture shirt, they'll wonder in amazement, "Where'd you get that?"
When I eat out, I don't like to pay the full price for designer meals. I make my own. But when I'm sick of looking at the dirty dishes in the sink I click onto Restaurant.com. You can search your zip code, then check out its 1000's of haute cuisine spots. AND you'll buy discounted gift certificates. For example:
Get into it. You can get a $100 dinner for $40. And you get gift certificate so you won't have to drop a coupon
and get accused of being a cheapskate. You'll simply look like you were
VERY good for Christmas this year.
Remember when fashion pushed our aesthetic to the limits? For so many years, boring designers (I won't say names) would give you K-Mart couture in expensive fabrics and send anorexic models down the runway making it look chic. John Galliano's work, on the other hand continues to amaze. Here's a comparison of Haute Couture to Red Carpet fashion by The Style Section at NYTimes:
...the red carpet is really a concession to middle American tastes; if you stopped to analyze it long enough, if you added up the number of ruched or beaded dresses trucking down the carpet, you wouldn’t have Paris or even Hollywood. You’d have the suburbs of Detroit on a good night. And that’s not a put-down to Detroit; it’s a statement that many affluent people nowadays have access to stylish clothes.
I wouldn't be caught dead buying any of these clothes for my mom let alone a best girlfriend, but they're not for your average lady. His shit's all about glamour, spectacle and show. Almost like Heatherette's older sister who has a trust fund, a loft in Tribeca and a bad acid problem.
Tired of your worn out boyfriend? Do his skinny arms get you down? Well, try Reebok's NEW Pump Boyfriend! Adjust his body to any size. Going to the beach? Pump him up. Taking him to work? Maybe let some air out. Going in the "back door?" shrink him down to a most pleasurable mini size...
It has been 60 days now since Nintendo's next generation game console, the Wii, launched and I still don't have one. Quite a few people do as Nintendo recently reported selling over 1m units. 1m isn't even enough to supply the demand out there for these puppies. One person died trying to get one:
Jennifer Strange, a 28-year old woman, died from water intoxication after taking part in KDND 107.9's 'Hold Your Wee for a Wii' competition in California. She was trying to win the console for her children by drinking as much water as possible and not urinating. Several competition entrants felt unwell after taking part and unfortunately Jennifer died.
I didn't hold my wee for a Wii, but I did wake up extra ass early this morning to try and wait outside the Nintendo World Store in NYC. I heard this was the best place to get one. "We get them just about every day. People line up early just for the chance we'll have one."
It was 12 degrees in Manhattan today, with wind chill. Yes. It felt like 0 degrees. When the bitch opened the door and said there were no Wii's today, I felt like busting her up side the head with my copy of Us Weekly. I'll update you on my progress if I ever get one...
Leave it to Apple to go so far ahead of the curve when it comes to technology that everything I ever held dear was totally annihilated. What do I mean? Remem, rocks are very nice places to live under), technopeeps have been speculating about an Apple iPhone that would blow Chocolate, Blackberry, and Treo away. Well, today started MacWorld, the annual hajj for Apple fans and suits everywhere. Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple announced the the iPhone/iPod which is so fucking cool I'm sitting in front of my computer with a technorection.
I covet, iPhone. Let me be your bitch...
