Best of 2011 CFDA Awards Fashion

Work it out fashion fags and ladies who (skip) lunch!


1. Karolina Kurkova in Diane Von Furstenberg

My fave look of the nite, but from Grace Jones to Kylie Minogue, a hooded jumpsuit wins my heart every time!



2. Kerry Washington in Calvin Klein

A girl of color can work a white dress like it owes her rent, honey!



3. Chanel Iman in BCBG

Or a shot of POW color. Is there anything they can't do?






4. Kirsten Dunst in Patrik Ervell

She's such a sourpuss. What's her problem? Mix match bun too tight? Not having fun at the CFDA's is a crime, sugar. The only thing missing from this look is a big old fat Cheshire Cat grin!





5. Leelee Sobieski in (and with) Adam Kimmel

Perhaps Kristen should have taken Leelee's lead and accessorized her hot men's suit with a hot man. Grrrr...



6. Phoebe Philo in Celine

Go ahead Pheebs! Win that International Design Award! There were a lot of ladies in suits. (Admission: there were also a lot of "crop out that pesky Kanye West" photos)



7. Dr Kimberly Shaw in Pamela Rowland

Still wickedly crazy I see. 

xo -m

8. Michelle Harper and Cameron Silver

It's hard to upstage a top hat, and Decades owner, Cameron Silver even tossed out an arched eyebrow and smirk combo. Sorry, Cameron, you're a nice guy and all but this "professional muse" will not be out-shined in some headpiece and vintage gown you just know she spent a fortune on. God, I need to get on with my "marry well" goals. -sigh-

Balmain's Main Man Mustered Out

(Umm, luck be on my side today, this parfait pic I unearthed was taken by photographer Maciek Kobielski)

It's official: Christophe Decarnin has been let go at Balmain.

Child what is up with fashion right now? It is like one big Melrose Place of seduce, use up, drive cuckoo and swap. 

And the gossip going 'round about Mr Decarnin's messy mental state and oust from Balmain, it seems almost probable he's gonna reveal a giant lobotomy scar under his rocker shag. Yikes!

So after 5 years of a successful cult following of overpriced ripped t-shirts and jeans, Decarnin's out, Melanie Ward's name is in the ring and yet another iconic French fashion house is without a creative director. 

Quick, get Jane Mancini on the phone! 

"Spartacus: Gods of the Arena" Premieres Tonite

I'm the kinda nerd who watched the hell out of Starz' "Spartacus: Blood & Sand"

But when it was announced that lead actor Andy Whitfield was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, like many I questioned how a show could go on without the namesake

Well Starz went the prequel route and now with "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena" we get a back story and six more episodes with our favorite Melrose Place in ancient Rome characters like gladiatorial school owners, Mr "Sliding Doors" and Lucy Lawless in bad wigs, along with new lead, Dustin Clare as gladiator Gannicus

(Mr "Sliding Doors" with new lead. Me thinks by the photos I've seen so far, that new lead is a little flat, but we shall see)

(Lucy plays the Sydney Andrews of the show, so desperate for love and power she'll turn to any outlet for either)

Alright, Starz. Tonite, we see what you're made of!

(Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, premieres at 10pm tonite on Starz, check local listings, of course)
