ANTM: The Clip Show Of The Clip Show [You Wanna Be On Top]

newVideoPlayer(”antm8_jezbel.flv”, 475, 376);
The clip shows of ANTM are so much better now than they were in previous cycles, since it’s mostly unaired footage. We got to see a little bit more of Spontaniouse. Why the hell didn’t they keep her around? And how about that sit down TyTy had with the girls and “Dani” about the pressures in the modeling industry to lose weight (replete with voice overs for the lines she fucked up)? Trust us, we know what she’s getting at with the body image stuff and we are into it. But she’s so arbitrary with this shit. One minute she’s telling the girls to not compromise who they are and to stay true to themselves, and the minute they even have a questioning look on their faces during makeover day, they’re practically crucified for not “wanting it enough.” So according to Tyra, it’s OK to shed a few locks, but not a few pounds, for a job. Then just before the girls leave the room she says, “Don’t obsess about your weight.” Uh, OK, 161.

And just because it’s not the same without a little bit of Heather in our lives:

How awesome was it when she said she’s really into men’s arms at the moment? Heather FTW!

Hogan doesn’t know best

One of the things I always appreciated about Hogan was that it was a sporty company that relied on design more than flashy over sized logos and monograms. The carrier of a Hogan knew what she had and how much it cost, and didn’t need to advertise it to the world.
But, alas, most companies eventually succumb to the pressure of being able to turn the customer into a walking billboard, and buckle, Hogan has.

A sporty style rolled duffel, with authentic gym accents like a canvas shoulder strap, reduced to handbag size and glammed up in a very bright gold, this bag is flash on a handle. I’m impressed that someone showed restraint and didn’t cover the logo with crystals, just in case the bag was too subtle.
When all is said and done, it does bring a Hogan to mind…Hulk. Hopefully, he picked up a few for his wife, and daughter, Brooke. Not everyday you can walk into Bergdorfs and pick a personalized bag off the rack. even if you have to shell out $1,050 for it.
The Sacca Piccola (does that mean “washed up wrestler” in Italian?) from the Italian Hogan is available at Bergdorf Goodman.

Bunnyshop Hearts: Bonspiel Creations

In today’s Bunnyshop Hearts:

Bonspiel Creations.

I’m currently in possession of a Mulitpass Wallet and her Luggage Part Two bag, and both have brought so much glee to me. Handmade, handscreened, and Ellen is the most awesome Etsy-er ever.

We are also into the fox keyring, as you can never have, in our opinion, too many keyrings, or too many fox-themed accessories. Fox keyring, $10

Asus’ Eee PC gets dissected

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. First the Eee PC gets reviewed, then it gets ripped apart, in this case by the always curious folks at TweakTown. While there’s not too many surprises on the inside, TweakTown’s organized destruction of the budget-friendly laptop is nothing if not thorough, including eight pages of pictures and descriptions of virtually every component. Like most others, they also seem to have been fairly impressed by the laptop as a whole, saying it is “perfectly positioned to prevail,” although they admit it’s “not for everyone.” Check out a few more pics after the break, and hit up the read link below for the full blow-by-blow action.

Reader Mail: La Voleuse Handbags

In today’s Reader Mail:

Dear Bunnyshop and Lil Bunny,

In my usual paper-writing procrastination, aka, bag shopping, I am revisiting the Thursday bag. What combination do you think has most year-around wearability and/or cuteness?

-Gold denim with tan tooled handles($230)
-Burgundy with black tooled handles ($210)
-Black with black tooled handles ($210)

thanks!
KQB

So. We would like to point that the lovely La Voleuse has it all set up so that you can choose which strap you want, so the pictures above aren’t exactly the sort that KQB is interested in. But they are as close as we could get. We love these bags, and own one of them, though in a now unfortunately unavailable navy velvet. But enough about yesteryear: Today’s the day, and we have to say, our vote for Thursday bag goodness still goes to the Francia:

However, if we were to choose from those above: We’d go with black canvas, though with the brown leather handles. Everyone else, LB included, please offer KQB your opinion.
