under the influence of wine...house

The Amy Winehouse influence on fashion has been far and wide, almost to an Agyness Deyn-like vexation. Even as she goes through a downward spiral, she's been emulated sickeningly from Chanel to French Vogue. However, I admit to being under the influence of Winehouse at times, slathering on more black eyeliner than necessary or fucking my hair up into a bouffant nest. But I really liked Korean Numero's take on the troubled singer, featuring my favorite model, Daul Kim, carrying the weight of a small child on her head in the form of a beehive do. How fun!


Also, check out Daul's blog, I Like To Fork Myself, full of amusing and enjoyably morbid tribulations on fashion, art, culture, philosophy, and pet hamsters. Seriously her take on Steve Aoki's "dj-ing" is more than enough reason for me to admire her more.

A Sad Demise

I guess Elle gave Lindsay a farewell present featuring her in September's Fall fashion issue since she's facing up to six years in the slammer. The article parallels many of her previous interviews with various magazines-the whole swearing offa alcohol quotes, paparazzi swarms, portable spray tan sessions etc. Seriously, magazines just have to print the same story over and over again without an interview. But, I'll really miss her sexy, sexy orange melanoma-ed skin, her punctual acting chops, and her exquisite cocaine-induced DUI arrests- NOT.
