Sure, we don’t usually discuss celebs here but I am undeniably, ridiculously and embarrassingly obsessed with the phenom. known as TomKat….and Brangelina -but for two very different reasons. With TomKat there is just something very much not right about it, every time I see something new on them I look upon it with the same puzzled countenance I usually reserve for a jumbled Rubix Cube. With Brangelina it’s awe of the sheer cosmetic perfection of it all. Not to mention the fame, lifestyle, success, and charity that goes along with it. Our gay crush of the year, Michael K from Dlisted just posted up latest images of the aforementioned couple and Katie is rockin’ the PINCH ROLL circa 1984 -see, this is style related. I will assume this has something to do with the role she was playing for an appearance on Eli Stone, a show I’d not even heard of until 5 minutes ago. Don’t bother looking it up, it’s on ABC prime time -nuff said. It has to be -washed baggy denim pinch-rolled, black hose under tan open snakeskin heels, gray grandpa cardigan with her hands tucked in the sleeves…it just has to be…right? I’m with Michael K, I think one of her femme bot micro chips wired to her style motherboard short-circuited -just click here to see more photos on Dlisted that show her crazy eyes, one of which appears turned-in. This is exactly what happens when you don’t regularly tune-up your robo Stepford Wife. Find all the alien proof you need here.
The exquisite publishing company, Assouline, has graced the newly refurbished Plaza Hotel…residence…mall…whatever it’s trying to now be (I think all of the above). It is the first U.S. store and the second in the world -their three-year-old flagship is in Saint Germaine des Pres, Paris. The shop overlooks the Plaza lobby and is across from the Rose Bar which will supply champagne while you peruse -drunken’ shopping should be an Olympic sport for which I would receive a gold medal (frozen ‘El Sombrero’ margaritas, M.E. + LES circa when Alife & Seven were still there = marathon drunken shopping). I digress, the shop will offer a vintage library (love those!) curated by founder Prosper Assouline, their pristine fashion and art tomes, plus their signature lifestyle products such as their Humidor Library and a one-of-a-kind Goyard suitcase filled with a selection of books. Certainly, a reason to attract even us to the new Plaza mall/hotel/residence/tourist obsession. 768 Fifth Ave. NYC. (Photo: courtesy Men.Style.com)
We completely forgot about last night’s premiere of Project Runway which is not a big deal because we don’t much give a crap about what happens where TV is concerned…but, we likey our PR -we can admit it. We caught the re-run at 11 and were hysterical aghast when Form’s Jerry Tam was auf’d. The premise of the whole episode was edited around how incredibly embarrassing it would be to be first eliminated with the editors even choosing Stella’s quote of her being “the biggest jackass of the nation” if she was auf’d. Someone needs to send her a memo that George Bush currently holds that title and no disaster on Project Runway, no matter how exacerbated, could rival that -now, and long after his demise. Her statement seemed so ridiculously insular and vain at such a time in our country’s history that it wasn’t until Tam was auf’d that I understood why they kept her
quote and the subtle message of the episode. I’ll keep that to myself but, after attending the Form show at the Soho Grand last fall (these are our photos) and seeing NYC socialites wearing pieces from the collection at the outdoor presentation, I saw a lot of promise. As soon as I saw Tam appear on PR last night I immediately lost respect thinking ‘why does he need to be on this’? It seems I’m not alone in my opinion, “a high-profile public relations firm that had been considering taking on Form as a client simply walked away from the deal when Mr. Tam announced he was joining the show” according to THIS Crains article. The firm (which Tam wouldn’t name) thought it was “cheesy” -um, yeah, because it is. (Sidebar- do you think it was People’s Revolution? It could have been anyone, it’s just good sense). Project Runway isn’t cheesy, it’s just that I consider it a platform for self-taught designers and design school grads to challenge their abilities and bring their recognition to nationwide status -win or lose. And Form is, or was, about to make it in NYC which is the catalyst to make it everywhere else -and now, he’s the first eliminated -yikes! That’s just about the worst thing that can happen to someone who, before last night, I would have never thought needed to be there.
