This Thing is A Lot Like That Thing: Strike a Pose!
By Sharon Steel
Tee hee! We're all a-titter over this week's Observer cover, although we can imagine Anna Wintour has an enormous bee buzzing in her bonnet right about now. Oh my!

Here is this April's cover of Vogue, featuring LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen. It was shot by Annie Leibovitz: click for what might have been her "inspiration."

A Look at The Look Book
By Sharon Steel

Yes, yes, I am obsessed with Amy Larocca's weekly New York magazine fashion popsicle, in which she interviews one or more crazily dressed urbanite and explains why they are loathsome, amazing, weird, terrible, or the coolest just by asking them, like, four questions. Deborah Solomon, take note! Sometimes the answers are all about What You're Wearing.

More Notes on the Project Runway Finale
By Sharon Steel

Proj Run! Ian beat me to the official rundown, read on if you want to hear more post-finale ramblings.

Christian took it all, which was totally expected even having known in advance that his collection would be the least wearable and even more "costume" (read: couture) than Chris's stuff ever was. I knew he would win as soon as Jezebel deliciously leaked each of the collections (note: ringers Chris AND Sweet P.

Keith's Got a Brand New Bag
By Clif Garboden
Celebrity endorsements -- like high-end designer luggage -- must carry a lot of weight. So much that, as showcased on the entertainment-news site The Bosh, bag-maker Louis Vuitton has invested in the cachet of both Rolling Stoner Keith Richards and household-name photog Annie Leibovitz to push what we can only assume is a line of leather grips suitable for transporting anything from Vercase do-rags to designer smack.

A fashion moron's notes on the Project Runway Finale
By Ian Sands

“Christian Soriano, signing out.”ce:office" />

It was a fitting way to end this season of Project Runway. Not because it was he who ultimately won it all. But because in my mind, it was sort of the Christian Soriano show from the beginning last night. From his wonderfully absurd description of what it was he was looking for in a model (“fierce tallness and walks for days”) to his kooky modeling of Jillian Lewis’s ridiculous looking hat prior to the runway show (all the while going “bring it back, bring it back”), Christian downright stole the proceedings.

Fashion Quiz: Who is the fiercest of them all?
By Sharon Steel

A. Avril Lavigne, our favorite little married pop-punk foul-mouthed songstress, who just scored an exclusive design deal with Kohl's? Will it be Hot Topic meets Chanel? Or will it just be pink and black and Kelly Osbourne?

B. Karl Lagerfeld, who delivered the following zingers (among many more) in a nine-page Q&A cover story for Prestige Hong Kong:

The Plus Side of Being a Model?
By Sharon Steel

I'm delighted that the Telegraph decided to feature Crystal Renn, an extraordinarily successful plus-size model, in a feature today. But here's what I don't get. This is how writer Judy Rumbold opens her piece:

To be honest, I expected Crystal Renn to be bigger. All right then, fatter. In the mind's eye, the term 'plus-size model' is liberally coated in doughnut batter, and I had her down as a gloriously buxom woman-mountain.

When A Size Zero Simply Isn't Good Enough

Model Ali Michael, backstage at Anna Sui, via Style.com

Christina Binkley's style piece in today's Wall Street Journal arrived just in time to close National Eating Disorders Awareness Week -- and also to remind me of the fact that as much as I love fashion, shit is fucked up.

Ali Michael is 17-years-old.

Every Princess Begins Her Journey With a Dream!
By Sharon Steel

Oh, Oscars! Movies, pretty dresses, a masturbatory ceremony, long commercial breaks, annoying jokes, weird panning shots into the audience of men wearing bronzer and ladies squeezed into Zac Posen gowns. Hurrah!

One thing about the Oscars, though: the swag. Even if you're a pitiful loser, everyone in attendance still walks away with a shit ton of free nonsense.

How To Go From Designer Douchebag to Sartorial Deity In Just One Step
By Sharon Steel

On Project Runway, Michael Kors is an asshole. He is the Jewish, Long Island-y version of what Christian will be in about 40 years. However, he is a Top American Designer (thx, Heidi!) and therefore an expert on fashionologie. And, we must admit, usually, for the most part, he's got decent taste, and he gives witty soundbites for us to mock.

Giddy up, Obamarama
By eldean

Yeehaw!

David S. Bernstein talks to FNX about the campaign for President, the Clintons, and Obama in cowboy gear. Read his article "Can Obama lasso the bay state? Once considered sure Clinton country, the Massachusetts primary is now a shootout."

MP3: David S. Bernstein's interview with FNX on candidates and cowboys.

Street Style: Thunderdome IX
By Sharon Steel
Half of Street Style had heaps of fun at Thunderdome IX with DJ Assault ("The Street Narrator") last Friday at the Greek American Political Club. Although we can't claim to be as handy with our Cannon point-and-shoot as the sartorial X-tine Atturio, we did our best to document our evening out and about in Central Square.

Street Style: Bundle Up
By Sharon Steel

JON
STORY: 22 years-old, lives in Brookline, works at Urban Outfitters.
SNAPPED: Smoking on his break.
STALKED: We like fedoras, fingerless gloves, plaid, blue jeans that are actually blue, and boys that patiently answer our indulgent fashion questions without laughing at us (about four Street Styles ago, we neglected to run that one…)

Street Style: Keyed Up
By Sharon Steel

CHIAKI
STORY: 20-years-old, B.U. study abroad student from Tokyo
SNAPPED: Kenmore Square
STALKED: She knows how to work with proportion and volume. And we’re seriously impressed by her tights-under-shorts combo, which the Fug Girls say can never, ever work.
SHE SAYS: “I really like key necklaces! Collecting keys is my hobby!”
WE SAY: She’s got the key to our style-starved hearts.
