Bring Back The Trend: Animal Ears On Grown-Ups

Bring Back The Trend: Animal Ears On Grown-Ups

One of the most abidingly obnoxious trends has got to be putting animal ears on grown ass people. From the Playboy bunnies of the seventies to the spirit hoods of last year, the trope of “woman as primal, sexy animal you want to commit bestiality upon” simply refuses to die. I mean, it’s fine for furries and cosplayers, but in a high fashion context it just looks…out of place? Infantilizing? Uncomfortably fetish-y? Dazed and Confused Korea’s new cover featuring Coco Rocha is just the latest in a long line of offenses. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present to you: animal ears on grown-ups. More »

Gallery: Check Out Lily Allen’s New Clothing Line

Gallery: Check Out Lily Allen's New Clothing Line

British pop star-in-retirement Lily Allen has unveiled her new vintage-inspired clothing line, Lucy In Disguise, and it’s predictably cute and colorful. It especially appeals to a lazy dresser such as myself, because each of the eighteen pieces is either a dress or a jumpsuit. “We wanted to create vintage styles with more contemporary, clean lines,” Allen told Vogue.com. “I’ve always been into vintage – before I became a pop star it was all I ever wore.” Some of the pieces look a little too costume-y for me (think the more cosplay-veering stuff you find on TrashyDiva.com), but others are totally fun and wearable. Also, I thought two of them were bathing suits. Has Lily Allen found her calling in fashion, or should she go back to doing what most people think she does best? Peruse the collection and decide for yourself. More »

This week, we honor the kind of wonderful disaster that we recognize: a twenty-something lovable lush with an attitude problem and ambivalent outlook about her career path. More »

Modern Etiquette: How to Talk to Your Friend About Her Miscarriage

Modern Etiquette: How to Talk to Your Friend About Her Miscarriage

Today, singer Lily Allen’s publicist confirmed that Allen, who was six months pregnant, had a miscarriage. As if that wasn’t sad enough, this is her second miscarriage. Even though I don’t know Allen personally, hearing about her sad news makes me want to call and ask her if there’s anything I can do. Perhaps that’s because a friend of mine suffered a miscarriage of her own once – there are countless manuals for etiquette when a friend has a new baby, but when dealing with the loss of a baby there’s no proper template on how to behave. So let me humbly offer a couple of suggestions. More »
