New York Fall Fashion Week is over so its back to the shenanigans for Fashion Funhouse Emporium.

I miss cruising through the news and once you read this week's Sunday Comic's you'll know why. Though, some things are better left untouched. Literally.

NO.

The Luxury Spot - Apparently Jennifer Love Hewitt wasn't joking when she said she bedazzled her little Love. Bryce, a blogger over at the Luxury Spot chose not to ignore this "new craze" that falls right in line with bum hole bleaching and other things that only strippers, porn stars, hookers and Lady Gaga should do.

No. No. No. No. Oh my god. No.

While the blogger/ investigative reporter says she'd never wear Ed Hardy, just because your bejeweled beaver is hidden, doesn't mean it's not just as heinous as the tattoo laden jeggings. Undoubtedly this is the equivalent of wearing Ms.Claus lingerie at Christmas time, or red bra and panties in general. I want to forget I ever heard of or saw any of this.

I've glued sequins on my kitchen chairs, pearls onto shoes, but there are some places glue should NEVER go.

Don't blame me. I just report the news, people.

OH, SIMPLER TIMES!

Jezebel- The ladies over at Jezebel found a vintage ad for an ABC After School Special that tackled the horrific issue of when your kid comes home dressed like a punk.

First off, I call bull-shit on this kid being a true punk. I don't think Hot Topic existed in the 80's, but this boy didn't even have the gull to shave his head for a proper Mohawk, rather, leaving him with a "faux-hawk."

It seems compared to now a days, a spikey hair kid in leather pants is relatively tame compared to your daughter going out getting her who-ha studded with rhinestones, forgoing pants for a sheer pair of panty hose and a bra top.

Finally, I scoured the internet and could only find one copy of this program. Take a look at what "punk" looked like in an After School Special. The audio buzzes, but if you can get over that, its BRILLIANT.

You could just turn the sound off all together and check out the reasons why late eighties hair should never be in fashion again.

NOT SO FAST FASHION

WWD- Following a public relations nightmare for the quick trend H&M, the retail chain announced their first ever "sustainable line." As told to WWD, “We want to reduce our impact on the environment. We thought of this as being progressive. Given our theme for spring, it became a natural tie-in and we said, ‘Let’s do it all sustainable.'"

On March 25, recycled and organic material clothing will be sold in its own section of the store amongst the heaps of soon to be trashed trends de la creme.

I suppose it's a start.

IT'S ON LIKE VUITTON!

NY MAG - Simon Doonan is tired of competing with kids for his front row seat at fashion shows. He will do what he has to do to make sure he's not bumped, even if that means disguising himself as a tween blogger.

What is the fashion world coming to when the creative director of Barney's has to hatch a diabolical plan to remain in a seat with high visibility. It seems like a logical decision: the creative director who influences buying decisions of a well known luxury department store or a thirteen year old kid who covers the Paris couture shows with "30 Rock" quotes?

WELCOME, NAOMI

The Independent - Naomi Campbell realizes there's a world outside her and decides to tell the world that she now realizes there's a world outside her.

She said she has quietly worked for charities for years. She can't be quiet about it anymore since she is now planning to use her super powers for good --and no longer for evil.
