Winona Ryder and the Black Poofy Dress

Winona Ryder has been perpetually stuck in a poofy, black dress for months now, and for the life of us, we can't figure out why as the look has been mostly unsuccessful on her.

As you may recall, on September 13, Winnie made her way onto the red carpet in an ill-fitting bodice where the girls made every attempt to escape their corseted cage. Not a good look.



As you can see on the right, however, by  November 11, WR had managed to clean her look up quite a bit. Plus, the added length in the skirt slimmed her down, too, and we began to believe in Wynona's ability to rock a black, poofy dress, until...

Leighton Meester in Menswear

What do we think dear hearts?  Is Leighton pulling this off or not?

We're not actually sure, ourselves.We kinda like the slightly disheveled, long-day-after-work look she's going for here. On the other hand, maybe we're just glad for change, any change, in her style. So, you must help us, is she in or is she out?

First Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Fashion Awards

Okay, okay. So, instead of packing for our trip tomorrow, we just could not help ourselves from doing one last post. And so we present the First Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Fashion Awards. The envelope please...

1. Best Cryogenically Frozen Ice Queen. And the winner is Joan Rivers. We love you Ms. Rivers. Great look for you. Truly.

Christmas Shopping Season Kick Off

And so, dear hearts, I must now disappear for a few more days, as I will be doing a bit of Turkey Day traveling. However, don't forget to go shopping this weekend. Or, at the very least, do a little window shopping.

The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection: Swashbucklers Unite!

Everyone on Team Nami is pissed and terrified that Calvin is on their team (we don't blame them). Even Cal knows it: "The way I've been behaving the past two weeks. Hell I don't think they like me very much." After the bitching dies down, everyone scurries along to meet Iman.



1. The Challenge. Woah. Iman is in a tin foil jumpsuit. Fabulous. Mata Hari, vampires... The challenge this week is to create night time looks inspired by the femme fatale. Fun! The other twist is that the Fashion Show will be tomorrow, meaning they will only have 24 hours to complete their looks.

Mata Hari

2. The Workroom. Now that Cesar is in the House of Emerald, he gets to work bossing his new team around and pretty immediately tells Tamara that her fabric doesn't fit in, that she should stop working on her outfit and come help the rest of the team out with the mood board. Of course, when Isaac comes in to check out the mood board, he's not too impressed and also adds "Cal's on the other team now, so you kind of have to beat them." Ha! Team Emerald continues to struggle.Golnessa finds her fabric uncooperative and Tammy and Cesar continue to bicker.


Team Nami, on the other hand, seems to be doing just fine, even with Calvin. They've decided to go with a purple and black 1940s vampire theme. Isaac likes the idea very much. Nami then gets to work, and aside from Rolando seeking help from Cesar (and Cesar actually helps him!), nothing too controversial happens. Of course, Cesar's not the only one consorting with the enemy. Calvin and Tammy are BFFs.

Coming Soon: The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection Post

Hello dear hearts, never fear the Fashion Show post is coming soon! Due to DVR issues, it has only been delayed.

We can only guess what will happen with Calvin on the other team!

Taylor Swift's Makeover

Who would have thought that adding a heavy bang and straightening hair could make a girl who we have always thought looked a bit like an alien look like a knockout model? Plus, Ms. Swift's dress is fierce. This may be the best makeover we've seen in awhile. Well done Taylor.

The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection: Body Image

This week's episode, aka Body Image, begins with everyone bad mouthing last week's loser, Francine (poor thing, was that necessary kids?). Mike also comments that he doesn't think Cesar should have won for last week's snow leopard print dress. But more on Mike later.


1. The Challenge. After the bitch session, the designers all meet up with Iman at the Bodies art exhibition, which consists of art displaying the human body from the inside out. Which can only mean that this week's challenge is to design a collection inspired by the human body. The designers then walk around the room and get some inspiration. David says he loves the vagina and plans to use it as his inspiration.
