Oh my god. The people at Marie Claire have completely lost their minds. If you have not yet seen this video, which is making the rounds on important blogs everywhere, check it out now.
This just may be the saddest, most disturbing form of damage control/ promotion we've ever seen. Sad because we thought Gretchen had more dignity than is displayed in this horrendous video. And disturbing because of the strange spasms which seem to have taken over her face.
***UPDATE*** Mr. Fashionista thinks I'm being totally catty. He thinks the video was kinda funny and I shouldn't be so uptight about it.

Living in a Material World With Rihanna
What do you think gentle readers?
Red Carpet: Hail Britannia!
At this year's BAFTA Los Angeles Britannia Awards, three of our fave fashionistas, Carey Mulligan, Marion Cotillard, and Olivia Wilde, showed up looking a little blue, a little lumpy and a little Angie, respectively.
1. First, Carey Mulligan. Sometimes, we feel she gets a little lost in the fashion (particularly of late). We appreciate her effort very much, her youthful and quirky style and the fact that she often tries to make a look her "own". We even nominated her for the Fierce Fashionista award. But here, the blue suede shoes don't quite work for us. They're all we can see and that's just not right as the dress is entirely cute in its own right. We love pocketed dresses and we find Ms. Mulligan looks utterly charming, girlish and shy when she's got her hands shoved in pockets. Plus, we like the textured bodice with the black from the back of the dress peeking out at the shoulders. Also, we wouldn't have thought the mid-calf length would work on tiny little Carey, but she definitely tends to favor it and we think it works here and really highlights the fact...that she's wearing blue suede shoes. True, the shoes, on their own, are beautiful and they add some quirkiness to an elegant dress. Again, we appreciate it and we even kinda like it maybe, but think that there needed to be a pop of color at the top (some small sapphire or ruby earrings or maybe just a brighter lip?) to balance the strong color. Overall though, we say she's in.

Red Carpet: Anne Hathaway at Love and Other Drugs Premiere
So, we thought Anne Hathaway looked frighteningly bad at Halloween, but we think she looks positively radiant here at the premiere of her new movie "Love and Other Drugs". However, we can't help but notice that she can't seem to stay away from accentuating her hips, or at least letting them breathe a bit with what we are going to call "dress gills". We also can't help but mention that we are a bit over the whole nude shoe thing, even if we think they look pretty chic with this dress.
Let's Play...Match the Love Child with The Rock Star
Hello, hello dear hearts! It has been far too long since we last spoke. As such, I felt the need to reach into my bag of tricks and create a bit of excitement and suspense. That's right. It's a game darlings called "Match the Love Child With the Rock Star."
The rules are simple. Below we have nine young ladies who are either models or actresses, or both, and each one has the looks to go with the job. Each one of these young ladies also happens to have a rock star dad and (most have) a model mom, which, of course go together like Charlie Sheen and cocaine. How to play? Well, each model/actress is labeled with a number, which you must then match with the letter for the corresponding dad.
And our nominees for world's greatest father go to: A. Mick Jagger, B. Keith Richards, C. Phil Collins, D. Rod Stewart, E. Simon Le Bon, F. Richie Sambora, and G. John Phillips. You may notice that we only have seven nominees, but nine model/actress daughters. Why is that, you may ask? Well, two of our Dads have managed to father more than one gorge daughter.
