Oh, NYMag, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…
Bert Stern revisits the Last Sitting, with Lohan as Marilyn Monroe. The verdict? Topless AND classy. No, really.
A Teen Vogue editor gets Look Book-ed.
Carine on Carine: I just get a feeling about what is exciting. It is all just from feeling. So I don’t know”—she pulls her lips into a pout and gives one of those poufy little French exhales—“I think maybe I have a talent.”
THE CUT: their new, updated-several-times-daily fashion blog. Hurrah!
NylonMag.com salutes Issac on his way out of Target’s door; I, on the other hand, am 100% ambivalent. Everytime I ever tried on anything of his at Target I found it to be ILL-FITTING as all get out. Anyone else??
Ksubi.com is set to relaunch this week (WAS set? As of 9pm last night it was still the terrifyingly apocolyptic “lava” page it’s always been); Style.com has a Q&A with the designers…
…but earlier in the week they also ran a Q&A with the Raveonettes, which was WAY MORE AWESOMER, if not so much style-related.
The Russians are coming. (at Fashionista.)
The CobraSnake turns out a big fat Tom’s ad of a set. Totally heartwarming, yet STILL he manages to feature scantily clad babes. Slut!
And finally, two fashion-y events happen this weekend IN THE DISTRICT:
Saturday is the Let It Grow: Spring Preview from 6-8 at Redeem. New labels! Winter sales! Booze! Charitable goodness! What is not to love?
Sunday the National Portrait Gallery will screen Wild Style! at 2pm in McEvoy Auditorium as part of their RECOGNIZE! Hip Hop and Contemporary Portraiture exhibit; the film is followed by a conversation with writer/director/producer Charlie Ahearn. Click here for FURTHER DETAILS and thank you to ArtCade for the tip…
i think its time to put this column to rest.
February 22, 2008 at 12:49 pmLindsay Lohan classy? try again
the tattoo on her butt cheek is tacky
her breasts are sagging
not to mention her freckled skin is showing signs of premature aging, probably from all the drinking/drugs
some would say Marilyn Monroe had an air of innocence about her
there’s nothing innocent about Lindsey Lohan
and i think it’s sad that they’re degrading Monroe by comparing her to Lohan in the first place
my typo just made me realize something
did she spell her name, the traditional Lindsey, as Lindsay just to match that a in Lohan?
Lily, when a woman is not wearing a bra and has larger natural breasts, they are subject to some gravity. Her boobs look normal for their size, not saggy. Only little boobies & implants are perky without bras.
That aside, she is still tacky.
February 22, 2008 at 3:59 pmyou were right
i had my dad verify
he actually printed out the saggiest picture to prove to one of his clients that her breast appearance is normal
i stand corrected
she still isn’t attractive to me, facially etc.
okay agreed - the ass tattoo is 100% some unclassy shit. but she doesn’t look like lohan in the photos, she really DOES look like mm, and therein lies the class.
also, and i’m totally not disagreeing with the “innocence” that she had, but 50 years after the fact we’ve got this insanely romanticized/idealized vision of monroe - i mean, she was totally controversial in her own time and she DID die of a drug overdose, yes? so any “degradation,” really, would be to the pedestal we put our dead-before-their-time celebrities on. granted, she WAS a Movie Star - in the grandest sense of the term - and lohan isn’t, by any stretch of the imagination. so yes - it was a BOLD MOVE on her and stern’s part to recreate something so iconic, but i think it turned out surprisingly, even amazingly, well.
hey what about Jourdan Dunn walking for Prada?
February 23, 2008 at 5:48 pmi guess i don’t see Lohan looking anything like Marilyn Monroe beyond the first shot in the series
yes she has the wig, and the cat-shapedeyeliner
but beyond impersonating marilyn’s expressions, lohan’s inner ugly really overshadows comparisons to monroe
especially that picture of the mesh veil over her face, by far the ugliest shot in the bunch
…but to each their own
February 25, 2008 at 1:04 pmThis column needs some serious journalistic resuscitation. Every week, I find myself so frustrated after the first two lines as I get lost all the BOLDED LETTERS and LINKZ and the OooOohs and AaaAahhs. If you’re truly passionate about fashion, then there is no excuse for this. Fashion is all about aesthetic. Put up some pictures! Write a paragraph or two instead of some off-colored one-liners. You’d be surprised how far correct grammar and complete sentence will go.

while I love Lindsay, and Bert Stern is such a hero to me I could write an essay about it

i find the whole “recapturing of the last shot” to be kinda sacreligious.
