When bad things happen to good people

Blake, Blake, Blake. I understand you were attending the Met's costume gala but did that really mean you had to go as Serena Van der Boobsen for the night? Since when did you start taking fashion advice from your younger, hoochier alter ego?

A former fan of S, I am (these days) appalled at her get-up. Cleavage, cleavage, and more cleavage does not a sassy girl make. The unbearably tight leather jackets zipped to just below her ample bosom, the plunging necklines that render her boobs and nothing else, and the nasty shrugs and knitted waistcoats are quite frankly, appalling. Eric Daman, what have you done? What happened to the Serena we know and love?

Perhaps we have Blake to blame for this outrageous crime against fashion - ever since series two started I've noticed a definite change in her wardrobe. Formerly demure and daring, Lively is now a little too lively. Boobs, legs, and teeth? Didn't anyone ever tell you that less is more Lively?

The Versace monstrosity she wore to the 'Model as Muse' themed bash wasn't a patch on the lovely Ralph Lauren she wore last year. As for that ill-fitting (supposedly custom made) Nina Ricci gown she wore to the Oscars this year, well, don't even get me started on that...

And the award goes to...

Rather than writing another Oscar's post this year I've chosen simply to celebrate the style maverick and master of comebacks that is Mr. Mickey Rourke.

While I don't think this requires any justification I'm in a list-making mood so here it is folks,
5 more reasons Mickey should win...


1. In the immortal words of Destiny's Child, he's a survivor.

2. His acceptance speeches are some of the best stand-up comedy I've ever heard.

3. He cries when talking about his recently deceased dog Loki (I love a man with a sensitive side).

4. Rourke can rock a suit like nobody else.

5. He's Mickey Rourke! Respect.


If he doesn't win tonight I'm going to have a tantrum. So there.

The Snow Queen

It’s a winter wonderland outside and all I can think about is how magical it would be to lord it up Narnia style in a sleigh of ice and a coat of metallic arms that mere mortals could only marvel at. Fantasist, moi?!

My Snow Queen 2009 guise would include these fabulous wax wing cuffs. Fascinatingly beautiful but with a tinge of the macabre, they are the perfect wrist wear for her highness.
