prints, prints, everywhere

Spring 08 is print crazy- first the Meisel editorial for Vogue Italia and now this edit. for V Magazine shot by Steven Klein. Stam looks like she lazing around like some sort of homeless, floral trendwhore. It's like looking into a kaleidoscope of Dries Van Noten and Prada whatsits, while on some sort of LSD trip. Excess these days...

Gaudiness is an Acquired Taste

How does Beyonce manage to ruin Balenciaga?! Beyonce's penchant for bling bling bling has crossed over to much hyped Balenciaga leggings, and it's rather tragic to see. At the BET awards, she emerged from a robotic sarcophagus, and gyrated her "fineass junk" like she was the shit, when all in all, she just looked like a cheap chandelier earring from the 99 cent store. And don't those leggings only come in a size negative 1/0/2? Erm, I really can't imagine Nicolas Ghesquiere customizing a pair just for this booty humpin' performance. But then again, Beyonce somehow got ahold of a golden globe nomination for her gawawful "acting" so whatever.
