Katie Holmes Finally Tells the Truth

I read this and absolutely had to talk about it with you, see what your point of view is.

Katie Holmes is giving in the pressure and can’t take it anymore. Distant looking, pale-ish smile and disoriented, that’s how people appreciated Katie’s last appearance at Joan’s on Third.

So the main story is that Katie has been suffering from atrocious headaches, she sees black spots and feel faint, all that corroborated with an obsession for being skinny, skinny-er, ever skinny. Now please lay back and expect a no-less interesting explanation for all this than her husband’s better realities:

Katie doesn’t get enough sleep — and hasn’t for months (…) because Tom is so wired, and they stay awake until after midnight. He has boundless energy, and she just can’t compete (…)To him, the home is a status symbol so it’s on Katie’s shoulders to pull off something beyond magnificent, something Tom can brag about. She’s giving herself headaches thinking about it and making herself sick.

Let’s take it one step at the time – so Katie Holmes, THE Katie Holmes cannot keep up with Tom’s energy? Girl, dear, the man’s on something, don’t give yourself a hard time just because you need your beauty (and as people can tell, your health) sleep! Read more…

Modeling is not lying on roses even if you’re Claudia Schiffer. It’s more like lying on the sidewalk, and rolling in the park.

For the Kaiser and his advertising photo shoot she just played his tune and rolled in Central Park wearing nothing but ankle boots, opaque tights, a mini skirt, a vest, a beret and, of course, the Chanel 2.55 as Karl adjusted his vision through the camera.

The Keffiyeh was made publicly famous by the late Yasser Arafat, as he covered his head with it and fold it in the shape of Palestine.

When the keffiyeh was a smashing fashion hit, 20 years ago, it had no political involvement. Now it’s associated with Palestinian cause and it’s more than just a style touch.

From the black and white one worn by the Palestinian late president (and most specific to the rural peasants) to the plain white one (worn especially in the Gulf States), the red and white one (associated with the Jordanian army), the keffiyeh-inspired scarf is de retour at Urban Outfitters.

Almost a year ago they had to pull them off and issue apologies, now it’s all up and running again.

I think that having to take them out again it’s too much. I’m not looking at them religiously, I couldn’t ever, nor do they remind me of a special ideology. I see them as scarves and that’s the end of it.

Sometimes people just make too much of a deal from subjects that are not meant to occupy all that talk space and thinking area. It’s just fabric!

What’s your take on this? (via racked, photos urban outfitters)

I guess fashion is not without a powerful sense of ugliness. All in the name of comfort, trend setters throw a new outrageousness in the game.

Muks. Mukluks. However you want to call them, they’re from the proud line of Ugg-likes. I have noticed them trending around for quite some time and sincerely hoped they’ll self extinguish. Now I come across a piece of news saying that not only they don’t want to be forgotten, but more likely to declare summer invasion with a 2008 Spring-Summer Collection.

I think I’m open minded to style experiments and I even had my fair pair of Uggs. Not trying to raise my voice against Ugg-lies, I just want to ask you if you see the point of wearing boots in plain summer time and if you see the point of wearing boots with fur from the ankle up (when cold, my feet are frozen from the ankle to my toes, not the other way…).

If you ever thought about this, I know I didn’t! Not up until today when I came across a picture of a little dog wearing a tux.

At first I really believed to be a joke, a funny picture set by a pet owner who worships his dog at a ceremonial state. Then I looked through the Internet searching for information and I found it was like a sub-world I was completely unaware of – the dog-fashion world. So it’s not only the Devil who wears Prada anymore, dogs can do it too!

Keen on fast design and have an extra $40,000? A Porsche Kitchen is your answer to everything!

Porsche Poggenphol P’7340 (you’d expect a tuned car, right?) is a taping wonder – the cabinets open at a mere touch and taping one of the built-in sensors will activate a “spacer pin” making doors and flaps open slowly. It’s even considered to be a man designed kitchen because it has an audio-video system with plug-and-play feature. Like only men should listen to music when (?!) cooking. I’d un-sexe this kitchen and just link it to the familial status – is this a single kitchen? Couple kitchen? Family kitchen?

We’re getting closer to the new “monogramouflage” announced by Louis Vuitton.

The Brooklyn Museum has uploaded the shop items for the Murakami exhibition during which the famous new monogram by LV will see the light of day. It’s said to be designed by Takashi Murakami and still no idea of the outcome. The exhibition begins April 4… Until then, enjoy this few images from the Brooklyn Museum shop and feel free to speculate – colorful monogramouflage? Anime? What, what?

Specialist in bringing a certain femininity from behind her lens, Ellen von Unwerth manages another Claudia Schiffer hard-pose.

After the Moet-Dom Perignon campaign directed by Karl the Kaiser, I hoped this kind of Claudia won’t pop up again. I was wrong. It seems it’s a wave of doll-ish pictorials (like one dear reader made the remark on the site) in all magazines. Fashion or not.
