Like, Peace! Some Good, Some Bad Coachella Fashion, Week Two

Like, Peace! Some Good, Some Bad Coachella Fashion, Week Two

#Coachella is finished. The two-weekend long corporate music festival that draws rich pretend-bohemians from all over the country is, mercifully, over and done with until next year. Last weekend’s celebrity fashion show was predictably ridiculous, this weekend’s was actually a little more tame. Perhaps the attendees were exhausted from toggling to flash the peace sign while trying not to spill beer on their $2000 handbags?

Until next year. More »

Fashion Disasters: Kat Von D Wore A Wetsuit(?) To Her Book Signing

Fashion Disasters: Kat Von D Wore A Wetsuit(?) To Her Book Signing

When I first saw this picture of Kat Von D wearing what appears to be a sheer wetsuit to a bookstore in New York City, I thought, “Well, shit. This might not be the best outfit, but it’s hardly the worst thing we’ve seen her wear, and it’s sort of unfair to judge someone for what the paparazzi snaps them in when they are out adding to their libraries. At least she’s promoting literacy!” Then I found out she wore this to her own book signing, and was appalled. More »

Like, Peace! The Worst Coachella Fashion Disasters, Week One

Ah, Coachella, a time for (particularly) clueless rich people to dress up like their idea of a ’60s bohemian and enjoy the latest major label chart-topping tunes from the comfort of cushy VIP pens.

Normally, we have a hard line about not making fun of off-duty (non red carpet) famous people, but most of these press-hungry jackasses relish Coachella as an opportunity to wear their cool poor person costume: a floppy hat, short shorts, shitloads of fringe, a leather headband, a $2000 handbag and–the best accessory–a big, dumb peace sign.

Fashion Disasters: Gwyneth Paltrow Hid An Ugly Outfit Behind Her Own Dumb Book

Fashion Disasters: Gwyneth Paltrow Hid An Ugly Outfit Behind Her Own Dumb Book

Despite all the flack Gwyneth Paltrow has been getting lately for calling half a million dollars in clothing “essential,” barely feeding her family and releasing a cookbook that essentially makes air waffles and twig muffins, I have a feeling she is doing just fine. Her book, titled with gross inaccuracy as It’s All Good, is already selling incredibly well, and she’s still famous and attractive and rich. Therefore, I do not feel all that bad pointing out that the outfit she wore to a book signing at Williams-Sonoma was terrible. More »

Fashion Disasters: Brandi Glanville Needs Your Attention More Than Usual

Fashion Disasters: Brandi Glanville Needs Your Attention More Than Usual

There’s kind of a fine line with accusing someone (especially a woman) of dressing for attention. Something about it really rubs us the wrong way–shouldn’t people (especially women) be able to dress for themselves? If a woman is wearing a mini-skirt, can’t it just be because she likes it? The sentiment echoes barbaric ideas about women and gender and sexuality and we all know there’s enough of those in the world already. Why contribute?

On the other side of that line exists people like Brandi Granville. More »
