Terrific Tuesday

We heard that a certain famous Victoria’s Secret model straightens her hair with embalming fluid. Sorry, we’re still absorbing this information. Apparently it’s popular in Brazil. Hearing things like this only make us want to see Chris Rock’s Good Hair even more.
On an unrelated note, it looks The Frisky found one of like Marc Jacobs’ has creations – a bracelet with animals charms, that DOESN’T cost an arm and a leg. Nice. NBC10’s Lilliana Vazquez highlight cute shoes from different price ranges.
Self.com lets you guess what the beauty product does as well as highlights the best trends in color for the fall – that’s nail polish, eye shadows and neon headbands. All this while Teen Vouge teaches you how to create looks featured on the website yourself.
For the Love of God, America, Work It!
All I’ve been hearing is how bummed out everyone is by the prevelance of the 80s inspired looks on the runway, and I have one thing to say to you all: WHY?! Anyone with two functioning eyeballs can see that whatever Marc Jacobs debuts at Fashion Week is always poorly imitated, mass produced, and highlighted as the “latest trend” at every suburban mall in America by the time fall rolls around. And you may not believe me right now, but you will want some variation of it. Yes, you will!
Besides, the eighties in New York were FABULOUS! The Club Kids ruled the party scene and electrified New York nightlife with their avant garde fashion. Astro Erle happened to be one of my loftmates when I spent a summer living in Brooklyn, and I couldn’t help but be in awe of this staple of the New York club circuit who needs an oversized toolbox in order to store all of the goods that make up his look. It’s about time fashion returns to this mentality, people!
Why is everyone complaining about neon and voluminous dresses? Why are we calling attempts at fantasy makeup “over the top”? What did you want from Fashion Week, anyway? 
MORE OF THIS CRAP!? Chances are, you’ve thought about donning a dress with crazy ruffles and neon tights. You’ve probably considered lining your lids with liquid eyeliner and swooping past your lashes into a perfect cat-eye. Which brings me back to my original point: don’t CONSIDER IT, WORK IT!!! Nothing is too much if you have the sass to handle it. SO get ready for fall and break out that opaque eye color!

So fashion week is only at the halfway point, but I thought I’d mention this here coat at the Marc Jacobs show:
To paraphrase the boys up on the Satellite of Love, doesn’t this coat kiiiiind of make it look like she’s being pooped by a bear facefirst?
Don’t worry, Marc, I’m sure the eye-burning color combinations and shoulderpads in the second half of your collection will make up for it?
God, I am SO BORED with ’80s revival. It never looked good, but now it’s not even interesting.
