Reliving her magazine moments

Apparently GaGa was all over her magazine moments at the VMAs - including her now infamous meat get-up.
Here she is on the cover of Vouge Japan:

And here she is at the end of the VMAs, accepting her award.



Her explanation was a bit weak - I think it was supposed to be a whole "I'm not justa piece of meat" metaphor. Honestly, I would have preferred, if when asked why she was wearing raw meat if she just would have said: "Because I'm Lady GaGa, that's why".

My favorite moment of hers was on a radio interview. She mentioned that sometimes she wakes up and feels insecure like any other 23 year old. To which I was annoyed, because HELLO honey, you ain't a normal 23 year old. She then went on to say then she isn't a normal 23 year old and says to herself - "Fuck it. I'm Lady GaGa."

Fuck it, I'm Lady GaGa she be her response to everything. Stick with that. It's the rockstar way to handle things.

Holy Gaga!

Its not shocking, but I'm watching the VMA pre-show. Holy Gaga. She is sporting the Alexander McQueen gown she wore in Vanity Fair, from his very last collection. She is escorted by military persons who have been discharged under Don't Ask Don't Tell. Swoon. Now, lets look at the dress:
From the VF shoot:

And here it is on MTV's "white carpet". She modified it brilliantly with a black crinoline underneath. She is sporting her regular McQueen heels - which God only knows how she walks in. Eat it up, and enjoy the show!

CoCo Crabby

I saw the film 'CoCo: Before Chanel' last year and as far as I can tell she was an unpleasant moody brat (assuming the movie accurately reflected her). Which, I suppose, is expected from a fashion icon - but it makes the "would Chanel have liked this?" game less fun. The answer would always be no. No, she doesn't like anything anyone else does.

But regardless, it's fashion week and Chanel opened a new store in NY (SoHo to be specific) so celebrities were wearing a shit ton of Chanel. Pretty!


Blake Lively looks fresh and delightful! Plus, there are no boobs or legs in this dress, which is a big step for her.


Maggie Grace looks adorably simple. A perfect LBD. Covet. Want.


Every time I see Liv Tyler I remember that Rachel Zoe is her stylist, and then I imagine them being adorable picking out clothing together and jumping up and down and squealing. Then, I see Liv on the red carpet and she's all serious sexy-face... I feel like she coyly hiding her inner bubbly girl for red carpets, but on the inside loving the shit out of her clothes and squealing. I love it.

My dreams want me to have a Stevie Nick's moment.

A few times through out my life I have dreamed of certain articles of clothing. Then, magically I would find them. First it was a nightgown - one I still own and love. Second, it was a pair of brown suede knee high boots - which I still own and love. See a trend here? These articles were both regulars and stand outs in my dreams. Meaning, I have cloths in every dream (mostly) but certain things stick with you, and these did.
Anyhow, my recent dream accessory is a yellowy/suede hobo bag with, wait for it: Fringe.

This is pretty close. I just found this on Google images, and it seems to just be a knock off of something. So I have no leads. The "bag of my dreams" was lighter, but this basic shape.

Here's the problem: Fringe. Really, dream-me? I'm not sure I can make this happen...

Tell Em' Kath.

Everyone's favorite Ginger, KG, knows just how I feel today. Today is labor day, also known as, the last day our pool complex is open for summer. We had plans of grandeur - laying and drinking. Now it is storming.

3:04pm:
...this is supposed to be a gif of Kathy flipping off the Emmy's. Hrumph. Why is blogger ruining gifs? Today=no fun.

4:15pm:
After looking into blogger forums I have discovered I now have to create a photobucket account for my gifs and use their direct HTML and photo URL. I can't even host the gifs on my own site.

4:16pm:
Too lazy to create a photobucket account. Kathy shall stay still.

Jacobs and the Lady.

LOVE THIS. I know there is a lot of GaGa hate out there, but I don't care. This the V Magazine cover for the "New York" issue. They have declared GaGa their muse... and then just added Marc Jacobs to cover. But Jacobs and GaGa make perfect sense together. Check out this description, from www.stylelist.com, of his Fall line at Fashion Week:

There were no bells and whistles this season, cardboard was literally stapled to the walls. The centerpiece was a large scale box, covered in brown paper. When the clock struck 8, exactly, Jacobs and his business partner Robert Duffy pulled the wrapping off to reveal the show's 56 models standing inside.The models walked out one-by-one to a romantic remix of "Over the Rainbow." The all gray opening looks (a popular shade so far this season) indicated that Jacobs wasn't going for his usual colorful hybrid mash-up, but intended to channel the menswear trend instead.
Initially serious, the mood shifted toward fantasy. It seemed almost as if a modern, professional woman was time traveling back to her childhood and her beloved games of dress-up as piece after piece became gradually more fanciful than the prior.

This was also briefly shown on Rachel Zoe this summer. VERY COOL. Check out some of his pieces from that collection.

I love the bow dress. How pretty!
