More distracting then Kors aviators,

Is whatever the hell Heidi Klum is wearing to the New York's Fashion Week's Project Runway Season 6 finale. I think my 1987 secretary Barbie had this neon, shoulder-padded, get-up. While Klum is truly a real-life Barbie, she shouldn't take fashion tips from the doll. I love edgy. Hell I even love straight up strange. But this? Too far.

Season 6 is of course the one caught up in the court controversy, so we won't be seeing even the first episode anytime soon. It took every once of my strength to not check out what the season 6 designers sent down the runway, as I'm still hoping of a surprise should season 6 ever air.

I want a purple Chet hat.

Some people deeply befuddle me. Chet from MTVs Real World Brooklyn is one of them.

yet, I truly want that hat to wear around...

He's a Mormon from Utah with something to prove. Mainly that Mormons can be fun. Well, OK, whatever. He's life long dream is to host TRL. d'oh.

Here's what he wore to meet Pete Wentz, which his Real World roommates quickly mocked.


I can't say I like Chet, but I don't dislike him either. He just is. I do, however, wonder if he's secretly wearing those creepy Mormon underpants:

I'm in Love. With Beth Ditto.

I've discovered (The British hide all the good ones) a magical and beautiful woman. I'm amused, enamored, and inspired. Check her out.

She is Beth Ditto. I found her writing for the UK's Guardian. She runs a feminist advice column called "What Would Beth Ditto Do". I'm sure this comes as no surprise, but she also seems to quite the drama queen, hot mess, and attention seeking celeb-u-taunt you would expect. I'm amused.

There is only one place on my body I want latex

and it's certainly not my legs.

In what I can only pray was meant as a joke, a friend sent me a link to a little website called http://makinglatexclothing.com, specifically pointing out the article titled: How to make your own latex leggings. Knowing I'm a DIYer I'm sure she found this hilarious, but the idea of trying to shove myself into latex leggings is somewhat sickening. I have no doubt the process would require criscoing my butt and assistance from a second party. Anyhow, in case you were curious here are a few shots from the instructions:

Any clothing that involves glue is immediately suspect to me.


I have doubts this crotch would hold.


And maybe 1% of the population would look this cool rocking these latex pants. And frankly, I can't even decide if I like them on her.


Want to make your own? It could be helpful when assembling a Matrix costume. Check it out.

"I would like to announce the end of my career"

Maybe it's because I CAN NOT STAND 'Dancing with the Stars' but I can't figure out why some celebs seem to be so willing to trash their careers this season. It's probably going to be the most "famous" season yet. Clearly, the terms stars and famous are used pretty loosely.

The folks I'm most surprised to see making the move...

Jewel! Yes, Jewel! What the hell. She writes poetry and plays the guitar. Hell, she even writes her own songs. She is actually respected in the music industry. People with respect shouldn't have to do things like Dancing with the Stars.
Denise Richards. OK, her career was never actaully respected, but this is certainly still a step down from making-out with Neve Campbell in Wild Things. Her face in this picture almost just screams "meh, I'm a money whore, this will get a few more minutes"
Continuing down the respect ladder, Lil' Kim. On the plus side it'll be nice to see her wearing something slightly less revealing then she does on the red carpet. On the down side, she has now lost all street cred. You can't be a badass and waltz. You just can't. Yep, Dancing with the Star trumps prison time on the hard-core scale. Unless she shivs someone on the show. That would be amazing.

She's just not that into us.

Why is Ginnifer Goodwin as sad? While thumbing through her red carpet pics one can't help but notice the girl seems down. She's in a MAJORLY successful HBO show, dated Chris Klein (yeah, they broke up, but it's still nothing to be ashamed of), and is in a new movie with a bunch of famous chicks. While "He's Just not That Into You" has been critically panned it's still moved her further into the limelight... although I still can't get past the emphasis on the word not. That's doesn't seem right... anyway, the girl should be cheese'n.

Here she is back in April 2008 at the Entourage premier. She doesn't look too down, but not exactly chipper.


Here's Ginnifer this January at the Big Love Season 3 premier. Now she should be loving the shit out of this. Major critical success AND commercial success.


So, despite the fact that her dress looks like a vagina puppet, this should also be a happy moment. Also, as a side note, I really like the vagina dress but can't decide why. Help would be appreciated.


Now she looks AMAZING here, and ended up on like every best-dressed list. Smile girl! Enjoy it!


I have two theories. 1.) She has braces and doesn't want us to know or 2.) She for some God unknown reason thinks she looks prettier all frowny face. Smile girl!! You're beautiful!

In the spirit of DIYers

Having been investigating weddings and looking at endless amounts of what I refer to as wedding porn, I have come to conclusion that weddings are ridiculously over-priced, blown out of portion, and yet make me feel undeniably excited to tie ribbon around things. Long story short I believe we will be having a DIY wedding, and it's my goal to make it as environmentally friendly as possible. Prepare to RSVP online folks. I went to instructables.com (a favorite of mine) to see what kooky things I could cook up.

Bottle Butterflies!


Since I'm hoping to carry an herb bouquet and adorn my lovely bridal ladies in homegrown lavender... A Herb Garden Grown in Bottles!


I don't think we will be show casing the smitten however. I've made my decision. I hate it.

Can't decide if I'm smitten with Smittens..?

They're the adorable mittens you can hold hands in! awwww!

Cute or disgustingly unnecessary? I can't imagine asking my fiance to appear in public with the Smitten, mainly because I would not want to appear in public with it. Also, at some point, on of us would probably need to use both of our hands for something and the freed hand would get cold.
