I Think I Finally Found my Nancy

I've been on a secret hunt to live out the karaoke fantasy of my dreams playing Lee Hazlewood to as of yet unknown Nancy. 

Despite my best efforts, as of now the only people fluent in the lady Sinatra I know are overly tall gay redheads. 




Until now, honey. 

New co-worker, Erika J just happened to be Nancy-ing up her Pandora when I peered over and just about had a gay conniption. 




I leaned over and informed her "We have a date with destiny, my dear" 


Summer Wine on stage, duet style 

My upcoming birthday party just got exponentially super better. 




                               

Plus, I can scratch Nancy / Lee duet off my bucket list just before the possible Mayan Apocalypse. 

Hey, better safe than sorry.  

He's Not Heavy, He's My Spring Collection

Why         So

Heavy???

(Clockwise from top: Haider Ackermann, Givenchy, Giambattista Valli, Balenciaga)

Perhaps after years of responding to negative body image pushing, designers have decided to pack on the pounds, cuzwhen you trim the fat from the Paris runways a significant trend is weighing in: Spring 2013 is gonna be heavy, man

(Layered, heavyweight satin and fur shoes at Céline. Summer calls, ladies!)

Do designers wanna wrap up and hide from a world riddled with political unrest and shaky economies? Do they figure the impending Mayan doomsday in December means none of this mess will make it to stores anyway?


Whatever the reason coats, layers and heavier fabrics abound for the first half of the year

(Rochas)

Jesus, is that velvet????
