Marc Jacobs- Fall 2011- Polka Dots!

One thing I love besides bows are POLKA DOTS! Usually I was a little ho-hum about Marc Jacobs, especially since last season’s ugly hippie dresses. But this season he emerged from the patchouli haze and has partially redeemed himself with these cute polka dot berets, 1940’s silhouettes and of course, POLKA DOTS!! So cool, because I already have lots of polka dots in my closet including those exact polka dot stockings I got from Victoria’s Secret a while back. I stocked up on those babies and now is the time to whip them out! My favorite look has got to be the second photo- I love the contrast of the collar, gloves and hat- so 1940’s. Yay for Marc !!

A Victoria’s Secret Christmas

Chances are that you are reading this piss drunk on your mobile at your family’s Christmas lunch. Before your nagging aunt tells you to put away the phone and pay attention to the unappetizing chestnut cobbler she made, I leave you with photos from the 2010 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show a.k.a “outfits you will never find at a Victoria’s Secret even if you use the displays behind the window”. Because, truly, whenever I go into a Victoria’s Secret, I only see the sweatpants with ‘pink’ stamped across the ass. I dunno, maybe I’m just blind.

Anyway, have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season! Here is Mr. Marmar doing his best ‘Santa Baby’ pout. I totally taught him that! Actually, I see a little grinchiness in his eyes. Oooooh, My PET!

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2009-um, yeah.. okay.

The annual ‘What you won’t ever see at a Victoria’s Secret store’ Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show came and went and I completely missed it. Usually, I mark my calendar for this crap, but due to lack  of interest, I didn’t. The only outfit that I found remotely cool was the first photo of a steampunk pair of wings and Sherlock Holmes-y corset dress. The rest looked like a craft show from all the Project Runway rejects- a complete Cheeeeeeze fest with a side of hooch. Seriously, you walk into a Victoria’s Secret and none of these runway pieces are there- it’s just a bunch of sweatpants with ‘Pink’ written on the butt, padded bras (so 90’s) and a bunch of little pink dogs here and there. Sorry for being such a Grinch, but after you watch this video, you will see why I think Victoria’s Secret is on the lame side.

So, today is the moment of truth of whether I was naughty or nice this year. Mr. Marmar decides.

Mr. MarMar - look at dat fathe!

Have a Merry Holiday full of food, stuff and more stuff!

The unwritten Hierarchy of Lingerie

These gorgeous stockings are by Parisian designer, Chantal Thomass. You may remember Thomass collaborated with Victoria’s Secret a few years back to make a more affordable line of lingerie. In case you don’t know, Chantal Thomass is like the Bentley of all things lingerie. Like, Agent Provacateur is the punky, misfit  version of Chantal Thomass and Victoria’s Secret is the low rent or rent-control version of  Chantall Thomass and Frederick’s of Hollywood is the older, slutty sister of Victoria’s Secret. Yes, even lingerie has a hierarchy! Somewhere even lower than Frederick’s ( I know, how trashier can it get?) is  Trashy lingerie and of course the bottom feeder Forplay.  Having said that, I would wear all of those stockings above if it wasn’t so damn hot here.

Check out the Chantal Thomass website for cool collaborations, including a holiday log cake, a Minnie Mouse doll, and a Jaguar.
