Tiger's New Baby Boy





It's been a while since I've posted some serious cuteness, and the need to balance out the negativity of the post below is pretty strong. So here he is, Charlie Axel Woods, along with his parents, sister and their adorable puppies. Talk about a charmed existence, Tiger must have gone through some terrible struggles in a past life or something, to be so blessed in this one.
For you golf fans, he is going to finally get back on the fairways next week in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Tuscon, Arizona. He has won this tournament three times already but it has been moved to a new course, the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Dove Mountain. I don't know if that will have any effect on his play but I'm sure that the sponsors are exstatic. Having him back will greatly improve their numbers which have suffered quite a bit in his absence.

You Couldn't Stop for Ten Minutes?


I hate these girls with their sense of entitlement and the fact that they are an utter waste of space. I realize that Paris attracts a lot of attention and with the way the economy is right now, it's every designer for themselves. But, do you think that Pamella Roland is going to invite these two to her Spring collection next September? After they texted throughout the whole show? They were in the front row! Next to gorgeous Nigel Barker, what nerve!

My New York friends are telling me that there are fewer shows with fewer seats than last year, so it is hard to get an invite to any of them. It is a priviledge to go to any these days. Heck, I'm here in Ohio and I can only dream about going. Why do you think I keep posting pictures from all these shows?

Nigel should have smacked both of their phones out of their hands but maybe he was afraid that he'd catch something, or maybe he was TOO BUSY WATCHING THE SHOW!

Done ranting. Fell much better.

L'Wren Scott























Mick Jagger's girlfriend presented her collection at the Gagosian gallery which included white cut-outs provided by artist Adam Bell for the backdrop. Once again, we have color used very sparingly but the models look bewitching as opposed to dour. Everything is slinky and snakey and sexy. I wish I could see the clothes up close bacause the little details are said to be marvelous. Do you love the hair and makeup? It makes me think of a naughty secretary in early thirties Paris who is having a torrid affair with her boss so he'll buy her the perfume and silk stockings she can't afford. Then, when he runs out of money, she moves on to her next victim. Outrageously sensual, love it.

Final Puppy Update




I am happy to inform all those of you that inquired, that Jeremy the German Shepherd has found a good home. On Thursday his foster mom Karen took him down to Medina to meet a nice couple who were still sad after losing their Germen Shepherd recently, and they were overjoyed to have him. Yay, a happy ending!


I hope this inspires you to take in a stray or rescue dog. How wonderful to make someone so happy and to help an animal in need. Kudos to you, Karen!

Kai Kuhne's Graphic Collection
















The entire line is black, white and grey but the construction is architectural and very well done, making up for the somber pallette. Everything is long and lean (who doesn't love the slimming factor at work here?) and there is a definite hint of menswear. He just got major backing and most experts beleive that a men's collection will be on the way sooner rather than later.

RuPaul's Cover Girl Video

Even if you are not into Drag, this video has the Pit Crew in it! Mamma like, mamma like!

Malandrino Show























I hesitated to post anything about Catherine Malandrino's show because of her use of fur. I'm almost positive it is real and I'm not really down with that. I decided to go ahead and show some of the outfits because the collection is inspired by Elsa Schiapperelli and includes a lovely bird print. What do you think about the face and hand appliques? Did Moschino do surreal fashion better because he injected so much humor into it? I have to bring that up seeing as the models in this show are still super somber. Perk up, people! Maybe they should start passing out X before they go out on the runway. Or laughing gas, it's probably cheaper.
You score extra points if you recognized the Rainbow Room as this year's venue. They are standing still because the circular floor rotates.

Who Needs Sean Avery?

Seriously, when you've got a pest like Steve Ott you don't even miss him. In Dallas's 4-2 win over Edmonton last night there was a lot of action. The goalie Dwayne Roloson got a good hit on Ott after he slammed Gilbert into the boards and you gotta love that. Plenty of fighting ensued followed by an avalanche of penalties.
And the Pens beat the Kovalev-less Habs 5-4 in regulation. So yeah, it was a good night to be watching hockey.

More Fashion Week


Fashion week ends today but I will keep posting collections until I run out of ones that I like. Here Is Christian Siriano. Plenty of shine, extreme shoulders and the dreaded tulip skirt. I hate those flappy things! I loved the dress with the Antelope headgear, though.

Google Ocean Spots Grid on Ocean Floor


Real or Hoax? I don't know if this photo is doctored in any way but if it's not we could be looking at the lost city of Atlantis on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. The picture was taken off the coast of northwest Africa near the Canary Islands which is one of the places historians beleive Atlantis could have been located.

I wonder how many scientific expeditions are being planned right now to investigate. What a coup that would be for an oceanographer. The area of the grid is supposed to be about the size of Wales, no word yet on how deep the water is in this location. Do you think they had Casinos back then or pools with suicidal sharks? If they did have gambling like the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, I'm sure their odds couldn't have been any worse. Word to the wise; don't gamble in the Caribbean. They don't regulate their casinos like we do in the United States so there are no guaranteed payouts or regulated percentages on slots. Beleive me, I know. The same rule applies to cruise ships. Don't bother.

Miss Sixty Fall RTW























It's still all about the eighties at Mercedes Fashion week in New York. Graffiti inspired prints, giant fake fur and exaggerated shoulders. Oh, and don't forget the return of the tight! And the legging. I love my tights in the winter so this works really well for me. There was a decent amount of color in this collection but it was overwhelmed by lots and lots of shiny Joan Jett/rocker girl black. And the red coat, I am loving it. There is a definite Blade Runner feeling going on here and I'm all for that, but would it kill a girl to look happy? What I wouldn't give for a smirk, even or a knowing smile. Just because you've got on clothes that a Replicant would wear doesn't mean you have to act like one too.

It's Oprah Time on Drag Race


This week was a pretty wild ride. We had an Oprah challenge, pratfalls and insane outfits of not so sublime beauty topped by our first wig a-flying (I've been waiting for this since the show started!). If you haven't watched it yet, I won't tell you who gets booted but I will say that it's a well deserved elimination. I laughed my ass off throughout most of the show and strongly suggest you watch this episode before you read my recap. It's the best one yet! Enjoy!

The Pulse Smart Pen

Wired's website has a report on this new one gigabyte pen that comes with special paper to record everything you write, has the ability to record everything you say and may just revolutionize reporting and dictation. It costs $150 and all of the work you do is downloadable. What will they come up with next? It's too bad that it can't make you more clever, not that I need that or anything. It just would be nice.

Keepin' it Klassy, Part VI







Our Pammy is back and in fine form at the Richie Rich fashion show. It looks like she hogged all the backstage Champagne again. C'mon, Pammy! Leave some for the poor emaciated models! Everyone knows that Champs constitutes 99% of their caloric intake. The other one percent is made up of the Strawberry Quik they cut their cocaine with, or so I hear.

Baby Mop

In Japan, they think of everything and if it's crazy retarded Michael K at DListed will post it. I need one of these. My dust bunnies (made up of 90% dog hair and 10% actual bunny) are starting to take over the kitchen and hallway so lock up your toddlers, people. I'm on a mission.
