Oh Marc, Say It Isn't So

Apparently the newly blue hued locks, posing nude in Out and his on-again/off-again/on-again love affair with boy toy Jason Preston aren't the only recent brainfarts of Marc Jacobs. Rumored for months and officially announced today, is the cringe-worthy news that Victoria Beckham, aka She of the Robot Tits, will star in this Spring's Marc Jacobs campaign.

Vuitton would have been the better choice but who are we to decipher MJ's inner workings. This is the man who single handily created Grunge, appalled the industry by sending an "Attack of the Pod People" down the runway a couple of years back - which in turn begot the voluminous fashions gracing every female retail outlet for the past four seasons and has managed to charm and delight Anna Wintour for half of my life.

But Posh? Seriously? I don't want to like her, Marc. I have refused to buy into her campaign to be THE IT GIRL in America. I don't even lust after her lust worthy hubby.

If she's your new muse, I'm not so sure I can continue buying into (and acquiring far more than I can afford) the irreverent attitude the Marc Jacobs line has represented. I hung with you through the whole almost-bordering-on-creepy Dakota ads, but this...this may just be too much.

For now I'll keep mum until the ads are inevitably leaked, but consider yourself warned.

Happy Fashion Week!

All the cabbies who aren't on strike today are likely shuttling about all the editrixes, ano-models, celebs and photogs for the bi-annual festivities known as NY Fashion Week. Personally, I'm excited to see what Marc sends down the aisle (aside from whichever twit reality starlet from The Hills he booked as a model) and for the numerous front row Devil sitings which will crop up all over the internet.

I'm wondering though, wasn't Sasha Baron Cohen supposed to be crashing the festivities one of these seasons to do a full length movie with his Bruno character? Perhaps this is the week when it'll all go down...

Rehabwatch 2007: Fashion Edition

With all the rehab-happy celeb stories clamoring the news these days, it only seemed natural to added Rehabwatch to our regular Dumpwatch, Deathwatch and Bumpwatch features.

What more of a fashionable way to kickoff the new series then with the WWD "breaking news" story of the day? Holiday party costume choice aside, clearly the recent makeover proves two things - the white stuff will work wonders at taking off those extra pounds and damn - this man can even make addiction look good.

Damn, Marc's Looking Good

Looks like Marc Jacobs done did give himself a makeover. To the left is how we all know (and love) him. To the right was Mr. Vuitton at a London fashion show afterparty yesterday looking as hot as his new collection is bound to be.

That Most Special Time Of The Year

Wondering where all the anorexic model types and 4 Times Square editors have disappeared to? Why, Bryant Park, of course.
