Les Cosby, Les Miserables T-shirt [The Daily Tee]
There’s story behind this tee:
There was this girl in 7th grade who had obviously gone to see Les Miserables over summer vacation. She had all this shit like T-shirts and notebooks and a beret it was pretty gnarly and I never had any idea what it was. Then I found out and still didn’t really give a shit.
I don’t know if the story touch you, but I can imagine of this little; and facial expression of the girl just say it all. Les Cosby, Les Miserables get this tee for $38 from Krudmart

Friendship On The Rocks? Let Jezebel Be Your Therapist! [Call For Submissions]
Ever felt like you were on the verge of a breakup with a former bestie? Like maybe you were inseparable in high school, but somewhere along the line she became one of those people who reads Suze Orman books at night while you became one of those thirtysomethings who has never actually been required to look “nice”? Or is it something subtler: your boyfriend, her trust fund, your baby, her Kabballah, your sudden drastic weight loss. The sinking lonely realization that maybe you just aren’t that into her. Well don’t get ahead of yourselves, girls! Friendship is the new marriage, and at Jezebel it’s to the death! You’re not really confrontational enough to end it anyway! Here’s a fun thing to do instead: send your stories to us for a new column called “Can This Friendship Be Saved?” It’s modeled after Ladies Home Journal’s 896-year-old traditional nuptials column, and here’s how it works.
You send us your rocky friendship story — and either get your friend to email us too, or provide us with her/his contact info. We’ll interview you two Can This Marriage Be Saved style and then have the e friendship experts at Girl Gone Child weigh in on how salvageable your bond might be. (If they‘re still friends, there’s probably hope for you, too!) Confidentiality is assured, and if you’re in the New York area we’ll even buy you a round of cosmos on Jezebel (or, haha, me?) in the name of girl bonding. Send your submissions to me.
(Oh, and would-be career counselors: we’re working on you too. We’ve got a shortlist, but I got sick and things got derailed.)

Modern Love [Sex Ed]
Valentine’s Day may be over, but there’s still romance in the air: Just read the interview with Coco, the buxom wife of rapper/actor Ice T, over on Playboy.com. Some revelations from the 28-year-old: Ice likes it when she wears heels while they’re boning. “I actually keep a pair of shoes next to the bed,” she says. “Just in case I don’t have them on and we start gettin’ busy, I can throw them on.” The couple has sex in front of a wall of mirrors: “I’m not the kind of person who gets turned on by other people; he’s the same way, too. We like watching ourselves.” Coco’s ample rear is real! “Ice will let women touch my butt, feel it, grab it, whatever they want to do, to prove that there’s nothing in there.” And lastly, Ice and Coco have pet names for each other: “I call him Baby Poo. He calls me, ‘Bitch, get over here.’” [Playboy]

Harper’s Bazaar’s Nefarious Scheme To Talk To Your Kids [Consumer Kiddie Porn]
For months we’ve been asking ourselves, why are the fashion spreads in Harper’s Bazaar actually fun? First they get the Simpsons people to do an entire like 13-page spread featuring Versace gowns modeled on cartoons, then they got those little children to dress up like Donatella Versace and Olivier Theyskens…and now this month, well, we just have to show you. Where’s the con? How does any of this awesome, quirky irreverent shit appeal to the people who actually buy stuff? But we think we figured it out with the March issue, which boasts photo shoots featuring Lindsay Lohan and Frances Bean Cobain and sundry supermodels dressed up as Evita, Wonder Woman, Beauty & The Beast…and much much more.. It’s a desperate appeal to hook your kids! Those Harper’s demos aren’t getting any younger.
Grease: I know little kids love this movie because my sister wouldn’t stop singing “Tell Me More” when she was going through a “naughty” thing. That was the same year she kept peeing in a shoebox in her room. She was four. They all think they’re gonna be sluts when they’re four.
And that’s when the “nun” phase starts! It’s like the first sign of self-hate.
And what little girl doesn’t at some stage want to be a populist dictator?
Okay, Wonder Woman, duh, evergreen. Who isn’t still kind of obsessed with Linda Carter?
The second sign of self-hate: that movie that prepares all young girls to settle for the first jerk with back hair willing to marry them.

Runway Beauty: Marchesa
Marchesa’s fall collection was inspired by the iconography of the 16th century and the excesses of the Golden Age, drawing elements from Spanish style and the Elizabethan renaissance. To complement the look, makeup artist Talia Shobrook used Stila products to create a lush, rich face.
Eyes were neutral and slightly smokey, with dramatic brows and lashes - including some long falsh lashes at the outer corners. Cheeks and lips were given a natural flush with new Stila Cherry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain, creating a high contrast with the pale, creamy skin. Lips were finished with new SPF20 lipstick in Caicos - this is a new product that won’t be available for a few months, but if you want to recreate the look, Natalie (sheer plum) is a good substitute.
Get the look with:
- Stila sheer pressed powder
- Stila perfecting concealer, on areas that require more coverage
- Stila eye shadow in chinois on brow bones
- Stila eye shadow in bouquet and kamet in the crease and bottom lash line
- Stila kajal liner in smoky quartz on lower outer rim
- Stila major lash mascara in brown (all over lashes) and black (tips of lashes)
- Stila brow set to fill in brows
- Stila Cherry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain on lips and apples of cheeks
- Stila SPF 20 lipstick in Caicos (or lip color in Natalie), dabbed on lips with finger
