Ten Reasons to Hate Marie Claire

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.

Project Runway: Heidi, You're Out (Part 2)

4. On the Runway. Heidi comes out to the runway wearing a bright, candle apple red suit, which we didn't like when we saw the pics at first, but there is something mesmerizing about the way she appears to glow in the dark. Along with Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, Jessica Simpson will be on the judging panel. Jessica Simpson, who is wearing a sparkly sacklike Micheal Kors minidress, which would look great on a tall skinny model, looks like a dumpy ex-cheerleader who thinks she still looks hot.


Gretchen Jones on the Runway. Gretchen's collection is called Running Through Thunder. With each look, we are reminded why we disliked her collection before. We hate those prints, but then we realize as more of them come out, that there's a seventies vibe (or is it the early nineties?) about her collection that feels on trend. Plus, she's even got animal prints. But then she also has sweater diapers, which we can't get on board with. And then we realize that this collection would look good on someone like Nicole Richie or someone else much more hip than we are. Someone who shops at a thrift store and finds clothes that they can put together to create an image, a look, a feel. It's not our style, but we're starting to get it and we're starting to think she has a shot. Plus, after seeing all of the runway shows this year, it looks very now, now, now, but in a hippie chick way. Hmmm. Were we wrong about hating her collection?
