Posh Strikes a Pose at the Louvre

Filed under: Celebrities, Fashion

I have to preface this by noting I am a high heels lover — nay, addict. The only pair of flats I own are my sneakers, which I use to exercise twice a year. Yes, I am that ridiculous woman who wears her three-inch sandals to visit the Mayan Ruins and keeps sliding down the limestone hills, much to the amusement and disdain of other tourists.

However, even MY feet look at this and say…

“Whoa.”

How embarrassing. I had no idea roadkill-chic was the latest in footwear! I guess that’s what happens when you spend 12 hours at your computer every day — no time to keep apprised of the trends. Thankfully, there’s a squirrel littering my street that would make a PERFECT pair of peep-toes. Ha! They’ll put Blanchett’s black bird pumps to shame.

Fighting Anorexia, One Disturbing Billboard at a Time

Filed under: Fashion

*DJ Jazzy Jeff will play the part of “Naughty Parts Censor” today, because as we established last week, he could use the work

As Milan celebrates Fashion Week, Italian clothing company Flash & Partners is raising visibility about the dangers of anorexia in the industry with a shocking advertising campaign featuring 27-year-old anorexic, Isabelle Caro.

Kudos to all of them.

Isabelle, who is French and weighs just 64 lbs., said that she had suffered from anorexia since she was 13 as the result of a “difficult childhood.” She added that, “I want to recover because I love life and the riches of the universe. I want to show young people how dangerous this illness is.”

The company said the photographer’s goal was “to use the naked body to show everyone the reality of this illness, caused in most cases by the stereotypes imposed by the world of fashion.”

In response, Giorgio Armani sniffed that, “Anorexia has reasons which are not linked to fashion. Even people who take no notice of fashion get anorexic,” while designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said: “Finally someone is saying the truth about anorexia — that it has nothing to do with fashion, but is a psychiatric problem.”

*COUGH* Bullshit! *COUGH*

Kate Moss Gets Ripped

Filed under: Celebrities, Fashion

It was bound to come to this. I mean, how many times do we have to tell Kate Moss to LOSE WEIGHT ALREADY? Geesh. Look at that chunky monkey — literally bursting through the seams of her dress! Seriously. If she doesn’t start watching it, she’s gonna end up as huge as Keira Knightley.

In all seriousness, ten bucks says this is the work of Pete Doherty’s crack-addicted kitty.
