Finding yourself in one of David Lynch’s films will either be your greatest dream come true … or your worst nightmare. Lynch’s films are eerie, striking, and mysterious. One of the greatest scenes of any Lynch films comes from 2001′s Mulholland Dr. and is set in night club Silencio.
So, when I heard that Lynch was opening his own club in Paris named after the thrilling Silencio, the hairs on my arms definitely pricked up a bit. Raphael Navot and Lynch headed a large team that designed the space from the ground up, creating a Lynchian dream world.
In just seven days…I can make you a great album cover!
Nike created nine ‘pro combat’ uniforms for nine college football teams this fall. Michigan State, Boise State, Stanford, Oregon, LSU, Army, Navy, Ohio State, and Georgia were chosen to don these original uniforms for what was determined to be one of their most important games of the season. Unfortunately, the uniforms just made them look stupid.
First of all, what’s up with the weird gloves? Is it really necessary for these college athletes to transform their hands into puzzles pieces that form some aspect of their team’s logo? I say no.
I suppose it’s possible that I’m part of a minority. Do people really like these new transformer outfits?

When Lady Gaga first burst on the scene a few years ago, I wrote her off as a passing fad. Certainly no Madonna, Cher, or Elton. Perhaps I judged an over-decorated book by its cover. Lady Gaga has become increasingly more popular and outrageous. Gaga continues to dress in the most scandalous and over the top costumes and outfits possible. Going to get coffee requires a full wardrobe department and makeup team. Behind all of the crazy outfits and makeup, Gaga has become a true champion for the under appreciated. On her latest album, Born This Way, she preaches that we were all born the way we are and that God, or ‘capital Him’, always accepts us. She has become a cultural phenomenon, and there’s certainly no denying her catchy tunes. Even the skeptics like me have started to appreciate her eclectic wardrobe. Here are a few of my favorite pieces from her collection.
Lady Gaga wore this bubble outfit during her last tour. She sported a similar look on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
Gaga accepted an MTV Music Award in this red lace ensemble.
That same night Lady Gaga sat in the audience wearing this headpiece.
Gaga walked the red carpet at an event with this giant black leather bow on her head.
Armani designed this beautiful dress for Lady Gaga to wear at the 2010 Grammy Awards. This look is definitely my favorite, combining just the right amount of Gaga with Grammy.
Lady Gaga may be extremely out of the box and sometimes a little too over the top, but it doesn’t look like she’s going anywhere any time soon. While she’s here, we might as well sit back and enjoy the show!
Ladies and gentlemen, a new age is upon us. The final installment of the Harry Potter series will be hitting theaters in mere weeks. What will we do without Harry, Hermione, and Ron? For the last ten years we have always had a new Harry Potter movie to look forward to, and before that we had a new book to pine after. Personally, I’ve always been into the Death Eaters and villains in Harry Potter. I was so anxious to see what Voldemort would look like on screen, outside of my imagination. I’ve gotta tip my hat to Jany Temime. Temime designed the costumes for all of the Potter movies including and after Prisoner of Azkaban. She brought our favorite characters to life, and created some seriously evil beings.
Voldemort is the obvious choice for scariest character in the movie. Not having a nose really makes a guy look threatening.
Snape is a guy that just gives you the creeps. His cape always seems to be billowing a little more frequently than the others. There’s something especially creepy about a guy who is constantly switching sides — you can hardly keep up with whose team he’s on!
But, my personal favorite Harry Potter villain… Bellatrix Lestrange. Fiona Weir did an outstanding job when she cast Helena Bonham Carter in the role. Lestrange is chilling, and at times puts Voldemort to shame.
12:01 A.M. on July 15th can not come soon enough for many adoring Harry Potter fans. I’ll see you there.
There is no introduction necessary for the bright red soles of these stilettos, but in case you’ve been under a rock for the last ten years here are some of the beautiful creations from shoe designer Christian Louboutin. I’m so enamored with these shoes that I had to do a second post about them – show off some newer looks. Louboutin exploded onto the shoe scene in the midst of a Blahnik overhaul and has not taken his foot of the gas yet. In a world of women who have ‘grown up’ watching Carrie Bradshaw strut down the streets of Manhattan in her Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik shoes, Christian Louboutin created a product that was dying to be bought. These shoes can only be described as wearable pieces of art, and wearing this art can make a girl feel more beautiful that ever. Another perk to a great pair of Louboutins? EVERYONE knows you’re wearing them. The unmistakable red sole is now synonymous with the designer’s name. So, feast your eyes on some of the more extravagant and beautiful pieces in Louboutin’s collection.
I found myself watching a rerun of the MTV Movie Awards in an effort to lull myself to sleep last night. Instead, I was enchanted by the shows elaborate and fantastical set this year. The Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California was transformed into a magical wonderland filled with butterflies, jewels, caves, moss, etc. The creative mind behind this transformation was MTV’s production designer, Leroy Bennett. The obvious front runners in any MTV race are Twilight and Harry Potter, and the set accurately reflected the themes of these movies. The set would have fit in perfectly in any werewolf, vampire, or wizard world. Eerie trees and billowing fog created a beautiful and picturesque backdrop for the evening’s events.
Here are a few shots of Bennett’s work.
Here 35 year old Reese Witherspoon accepts the MTV Generation Award for her body of work.
I saw a very great movie last night, adapted from a very great book: Jane Eyre. Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and starring Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender, it’s a gothic, moody period piece with mystery, romance, etc. But look at those clothes!
Going for tousled here.
Looking sharp, and sharply unpleasant.
Formaly informal.
Ahh, love and fashion.
