Last Nite's Party: OUT Magazine 100 Bash

Cuz when a gay glossy invites you out for open Ketle One, honey, you say "YES" 

Especially when the other sponsor, BUICK, is all nervous laughter when co-host, Sharon Needles, climbs on they luxury sedan with her 5'' heels

Rumors

Nicolas Ghesquière being courted by LVMH? Or just having a social Thursday night dinner with Arnault and Dior chief Sidney Toledano? 

Alexander Wang the front runner for the opening at Balenciaga? Or just The New York Times' Cathy Horyn throwing her contender into fashion's favorite game of who's on first? (We at It Can't All Be Dior hope she's purely speculating)


Keep those rumors flying, fashion folks, and we will, of course, continue to report on the Balenciaga saga. 

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.  

It's a Gift: CAL'S FAMOUS DOG SWEATER

And with both my and Jesus Wal-Mart's birthday coming up, nab this sweater and scratch me off the list pronto!

My Sentiments Exactly

After a weekend of Thanks and tofurky, we at It Can't All Be Dior wanna keep the love and good spirits rolling. 


Sultry and savvy friend of Dior, Ms. GL turned us on to fellow Mexican and up-and-coming artist Alejandro Diaz. Crafting catchy slogans into conventional sharpie and cardboard mottos as well as sleek neon works, like this sassy number, Mr. Diaz is the voice for a new generation of artists. 

 "I am interested in creating and drawing attention to existing social and linguistic dichotomies in my work by using phrases that are political yet campy, poetic yet pathetic, serious yet banal." 

Thank You, Ciara

Child, the world is about to give thanks and what better reason than the cornucopia of Ciara flooding the airwaves right now, am I right?



 Club banger you can shake and sweat to? Check, honey! (Plus I'ma need this after all that pie I'ma eat tomorrow)






Ballad for slow, writhing dancing? Girl, you know Ciara got that covered!





You know Ciara got the moves, Ciara got them curves... and now we do too. How you like them Goodies?

Book Club: It's All About the Dress

That shit storm of a Liz Taylor Lifetime movie with the once actress Lindsay Lohan touches down this Thanksgiving weekend, but if you really wanna know all about La Liz and Richard Burton, well "Furious Love" is really the go-to. But as Liz's longtime wardrobe go-to and wife of her personal make up artist, Ron Berkeley, Vicky Tiel had insider, entourage level scoop. And she dishes in her memoirs, "It's All About the Dress". But this isn't backstabbing tell-all, this is the kinda secret sharing you get from a bestie. 

However, that said, tales come out about other celebs like Faye Dunaway, Marlon Brando, Woody Allen, Martha Stewart, and more. 

And boy does she have something to say about designers like Yves Saint Laurent,Mary Quant, DVF and Louis Feraud, the former three she claims all stole from her! According to "Dress", Vicky invented the mini skirt, the wrap dress and designers posing nude in ads, amongst many other boasts. 

Yes, Ms. Tiel is one of those Janice Dickinson types trying to undercut others who claim they were the first. 

This is the perfect side dish this week for a full plate of trash TV and turkeys. 

RuPaul Announces the New Cast of Season 5

But is this Mount Olympus analogy a little heavy handed for the fifth installment? Seems awfully haughty considering the slapdash treatment of the All Stars season.


                   

Meanwhile, much love to my Sagittarius lady and the one spilling pearls up out of a shell (there's gotta be a sexual euphemism in there somewhere)

What do y'all think: is this over the top preview seem off for fading reality royalty? Or is it the bolt of lightning needed to revive the show? 

Tis the Season for Nutcracker Stallkers and French Whore Getups

I can't, honey. 

I just can't!

Can't stop loving this W Magazine December 2012 shot of Marion Cotillard in Dolce & Gabbana, a bob and a lecherous nutcracker that is. Cheers! 

Let's Talk about Dior, Baby

The damsels of Dior have been out and about showcasing the new looks from Raf Simons. 

But as underwhelming as the Spring Couture and Spring 2013 collections were in my humble opinion, some stylish ladies made it look hot, while some, did not. 



The best

                     (Marion Cotillard)                     (Leelee Sobieski)                              (Marisa Tomei)




Marion Cotillard is the face of Dior and she, more than anyone else, has been rocking the catalog of couture and ready to wear. This strapless and long skirt combo is French fashion's version of casual cute. 


Marisa Tomei worked choppy stripes and ankle monitor pumps, honey.


But the best of the best, HAS to be Leelee Sobieski: ladylike, sleek lines and a devil may care nonchalance. Ohh la la, darlin! 





The Yuk

              (Emma Watson)                                (Jessica Biel)                      (Jennifer Lawrence)



Emma Watson has the excuse of being too young to remember that awful 90's pants under a dress trend. However, I assume she has a mirror? 



Side well pockets? Yes, because women want girth added to their hips. And the length of this mess is making Jessica Biel look short and stumpy. 



Wow. Jennifer Lawrence. Wow.
