Doot Do Da Loot Loot...



I bow down to the wonders of my lady lover Absquatulation for introducing me to perhaps one of the single most entertaining things I've seen since Tyra decided to do that episode about botched booty implants (the hilarious horrors!).

Apparently, Nardwuar the Human Serviette is kind of a big deal. Like, he's interviewed musical ICONS! Like Sonic Youth. And Too $hort. Also, other people who are not icons at all. People like The Killers. Anyway, this is a list of things about Nardwuar the Human Serviette that are really neat:

1. He is from Canada.
2. He got Vanilla Ice to do a really bad freestyle. And dance too.
3. He wears a very fresh plaid driving cap. With a pom-pom atop it.
4. He knows his way around a library better than that antisocial kid you roomed with Freshman year.
5. He is a menace with the mic. And by menace I mean that he jams it so far up everyone's face that he might as well start smacking them upside the head with it.

Nardwuar, you are officially more entertaining than Tyra's five head and bad weaves! And that speaks volumes in itself. Watch his interview with Pharrell and Shay below, it is phenomenal!

Betsey's Back!


What more can be said about Betsey Johnson that most girls don't already know? She is an icon, a legend, and now a Re-Issue collection at NY and LA based boutiques Opening Ceremony.
The Betsey John Archive Collection consists of 35 pieces that "look back to the future, reviving Betsey's original designs curated from the span of her 35-year career". The pieces are not reinterpretations of her past design sensibility, but rather exact re-issues of some of her favorite pieces from the beloved Paraphernalia and Alley Cat collections.

The prices may be recession-boggling, but items with this much fashion history are well worth the hefty price tags, including the Rosebud jumpsuit and Cherries Mini Dress.


Want to know more about Betsey? Check out this exhaustively detailed piece that my homegirl Absquatulation wrote for Missomnimedia. She covered every corner of Betsey history, from her sketches to her licensing troubles to her infamous cartwheels on the runway. It's so thorough that even Betsey herself couldn't believe it! Amazing, you go girllll!
