Buckle.com: My Newest Plus Source [Dapper Diva]

January 13th, 2008 by admin

One of my very favorite new readers, Diane, pointed me in the direction of a shop that carries plus sizes: Buckle.com. After I buzzed over to their site, I had an intense urge to check out their hoodies. I’ve been having a major craving to grab some as I’m getting back into the gym scene. The Lucky Brand Polka Dot Short-Sleeved Sweatshirt is available in XL and is $88.00.

My only complaint is that this site is pretty hard to navigate. I had to randomly zip around and check sizes because their “search by size” selection only went up to 13 and XL_- despite having extended sizes. So weird, but trust me– it’s worth it.

Oldies But Goodies [Something Stinks]

January 13th, 2008 by admin

What has more sexual subtext than a horse? A unicorn! That’s why this 1984 ad for Magical Musk is so awesome. And by awesome we mean bad. There’s just something off about the critter. Also, Magical Musk is “the fragrance of hidden powers” and there’s some sort of mist emanating from the horse’s ass. Why not just call it what it is? L’eau De Unicorn Fart.

Aboriginal Sin []

January 13th, 2008 by admin

Last month we told you about a 10-year-old Aboriginal girl who was gang raped by nine men, none of whom were given jail time. Today’s Brisbane Courier Mail has additional information about the girl, known only as “K”. “Since being raped by nine males at age 10,” according to the Mail, “She has racked up 70 criminal charges including violent assault, and has been diagnosed as having the mental age of a six-year-old.” If you can stomach more heartbreaking details about this child, click here.

Changing Gears [Tire Cleaner]

January 13th, 2008 by admin

Cars and fashion: An unlikely marriage of minds? A new trend supposedly emerging in fashion is garments and accessories made from car parts (clean with tire cleaner, if you please) and the latest trend in the auto industry is creating cars in colors that are in line with the color trends of the season (the better to match your Louis Vuitton-Richard Prince bag). According to this logic, we assume that, soon enough, it will be impossible to distinguish a pick-up truck from a red carpet gown. This is a frightening thought. [MediaPost; WSJ]

Critics Not Entirely Persuaded By Adaptation Of Austen’s Persuasion [Critical Mass]

January 13th, 2008 by admin

Jane Austen enthusiasts are in for a treat: PBS is broadcasting The Complete Jane Austen, which includes adaptations of all of Austen’s six novels, starting this Sunday. First up is Persuasion, which originally aired on British TV last year. Persuasion is the last, and generally thought of as the poorest, of all Austen’s completed works. It focuses on heroine Anne Elliot, who fell in love with a poor naval officer named Frederick Wentworth years before the book’s action takes place. Back then, Anne was convinced by her family that he was unsuitable for marriage because of his dismal economic prospects. Wentworth returns to Anne’s seaside town of Bath: will he and Anne finally consummate their fractured love affair? It’s an Austen novel: you figure it out. Anyway, I always found Anne to be the least interesting of the Austen heroines because she’s sort of a sad sack, and the critics are similarly tepid about the performance of Sally Hawkins, who plays her. (The SF Chronicle says “her mouth twitches like a bass zeroing in on a tasty side order of plankton.” Check out what the rest of the critical biddies had to say, after the jump.

Copy Cats [The Greatest Show On Earth]

January 13th, 2008 by admin

So remember Victorya’s winning dress from Project Runway on Wednesday night? The one that Nina Garcia oohed and ahhed over, tirelessly? Seems it bears an uncanny resemblance to a dress designed by a different Project Runway designer — and from another season no less. To the left, a dress designed by Michael (now Mychael, whatevs) Knight for an episode of My Super Sweet Sixteen. Click on the tag to compare it to Victorya’s dress.
