Fashion News Round Up: Shrek Sexes Up, Mini Skirts Anger God and Mizrahi on Jeopordy

Its the Sunday Funhouse Comics!


Marc's Mark Lives On

Marc Jacobs designed a bag with a swastika and it's still on the market for only a little under $1500.

Earlier this year, several bloggers pointed out the Nazi symbol on another similar bag. After a quick Google search it seems that either Barney's sold out or had the sense to recall the bag. However its pure, master race brethren can still be bought out there in cyberspace.

In the past I asked if Marc Jacobs is deliberately trying to make us all squirm with the likes of hair Ugg boots and garbage bag totes. I'm guessing that this wasn't intentional? If it was, it seems that people are still willing to buy anything with the man's name on it.

 

Donkey Punch

Movieline - Shrek and friends posed for a photo shoot in VMAN magazine. Paramount Pictures says that the shoot did not turn out the way they'd hoped, adding if they knew that Donkey would be in a threesome, they would've never approved.

Perhaps someone at Paramount should've used that thing we call an internet search. Past pictures in the VMAN indie and provocative rag include many a young men in nothing but Euro-style skivvies. Which now that I think about it, totally makes sense to tie a children's movie into since the models are probably all under 18.

Don't you think its about time to stop coddling our children anyway? When your five year old asks, "Mom, what's a donkey punch?" Parents should be forth right. "Well honey, you know how Donkey and Shrek posed for dirty pictures in that magazine...."

Note: If you just can't stop yourself from looking the term up... you gotta love Wikipedia. Oh, and this is not safe for work. NSFW! or anytime for that matter.  I hope your naivety and childhood innocence isn't destroyed like mine was.

 

GETTIIN STICKY WITH IT!

Snark Food-  A teenager made her prom dress out of Wrigley's gum wrappers. Her date wore a matching vest.

An A+ for creativity. She has a career in advertising costume design ahead of her.

Though, I wonder how many of the popular girls tossed chewed gum in her hair while she was doing the Electric Slide? Its not funny at all. You know peanut butter, which is a vile, slimy food item, is the only substance that can grease out chewed rubber. Either that, or your mom has to cut a giant chunk of your hair off with kitchen shears. Oh, sorry. I was just reminiscing about how much fun my junior high dances were.

 

MOTHER NATURE SHAKES IT!

Heidi Montag: responsible for earthquakes in CA. via the Superficial

Associated Press - An Iranian cleric says that women who dress slutty are the reason for earthquakes. Seismologists disagree.

Does this explain why there are so many earthquakes in California? (East Coast 4-EVA!!)

Seriously though, telling women that tight pants and cleavage are the reason for violent eruptions of the earth's fault lines is like when mother's tell their sons that they will go blind if they play with "it". And according to trusty WikiAnswers, most men play a five finger solo once a day. You do the math.

 

BRAINS AND BEAUTY

Isaac Mizrahi: Plaid is the new cheescake.

Daily Front Row - Issac Mizrahi, fashion designer, will compete on Jeopardy.

A household name, the designer revived his luxury line, hosted many  talk shows, and wrote a series of comic books.  He's the god father of cheap-chic collaborations as the first to sign on with Target.  He created a line of cheescakes and blankets for QVC.

Is there anything this man can't do? All of his ventures may not of been successful, none the less, I will be sorely disappointed if he doesn't win this time!

Urban Outfitters - Nice Day for an Alternative Wedding

Photo: 39thandBroadway

Urban Outfitters is said to be launching a bridal line according to the industry insiders over at 39th and Broadway.

What is  the new face of the bridal industry?  With the collapse of In Style Weddings, Modern Bride and Elegant Bride print editions, who attended Bridal Fashion Week? Yes, there is one if you didn't know.

It's being said that the influence of fashion editors in print isn't what it used to be. Just read all of the articles talking about bloggers sitting front row at fashion week. (The horror!) One could conclude that the bridal industry is no different, now that the most influential references like Brides.com and In Style Weddings and when it comes to matrimony fashions only exist online.

It makes sense that a lower priced retailer like Urban Outfitters would join the ranks of J Crew and Ann Taylor in the wedding attire business. Not only do those who make wedding fashions need to think out side the box to promote, but also on who to design for.

After all, as strange as it seems to me, most brides aren't much on straying from pristine, virginal white.  Why not cater to the hipster kids at a price point that the struggling model/ musician couple can afford?

Urban Outfitters Bridal is supposed to launch in February 2011, just in time for that very cliche Valentines Day Wedding. (I'm sure they mean it in the ironic way, right?)
