OMG, no really. Why? More horror from pre-fashion week.

Posted by: Kim

Okay, you guys? Tell me if I'm wrong, but Taylor Momsen is really pretty, right? (Btw, Jen stumbled upon her in person once and almost peed on her boyfriend and immediately sent me a frantic text, in case you didn't know.)

SO SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING ON PLEASE.


Why why why?

Now, I'm going to go out on a limb that might make Jen cancel our friendship on the spot here and just throw it out there that I don't even hate this Marchesa gown. I mean, I could never in 85 billion years wear it, because I'm 5'3" and would look like a 4-year-old on my way to bed and also I would totally trip, like, 73 times (but I still rock my purple maxi dress, I swear), but Little J here is obviously tall and perfect and stunning and someone who can pull this off and look like a goddess, and I'm inexplicably still not tired of the flowy drapey romantic Grecian look, and sea foam is a pastel I've always been more embracing of, and, ANYWAY, WHATEVER, IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER IF IT'S A PRETTY DRESS:

Why does she look like Courtney Love? Dead Courtney Love? Strung out Courtney Love (wait...)? Why does she look strung out? WHY DOES SHE LOOK DEAD?

Taylor. :(

(I do like her lipstick)

Hey Guys, I Like What You Wore To Fashion Week

Posted by: Jen

Seems like everyone is paying attention to what's ON the runway, and while I suppose that is appropriate, I have decided to pay notice to the people who showed up looking amazing to watch other people look amazing.

First, Sophia Bush!

I love Sophia (even though she is really only on One Tree Hill, but I also loved John Tucker Must Die), and she always looks perfect at every event. Check her out in her awesome purple skirt with amazing belt! Sophia, I will always HATE CMM for what he did to you, and at least you can feel smug about the fact that you did not peak when you were 19 and that you will at least have a career of amazing movies (the kind that Kim and I love, not the academy) after One Tree Hill finally dies.

Next, Heidi Klum (who is rocking a haircut similar to mine, but I got full out bangs people! I keep going back and forth over whether I look entirely chic or four years old and I can't decide, but judging from the 19 year old NYU student who hit on me the other day assuming that I was in college, I am going to go with the latter)!

Oh hey, shiny sequined dress of awesome? Yes please.

How about H. Duff -- judging from this and Kim's post, I'd say red is her color.

Totally classic. Love the cut, her hair and her shoes. Well played, Hillary. You have come a long way from your Lizzie McGuire days; though I feel that Lizzie seriously could (and should) cut Hannah Montana as I accidentally watched it for the first time on Saturday because I don't have cable and I was cleaning my apartment and had it on for background noise (either that or CSPAN) and it was seriously BAD and DUMB and DUMB BAD.

Last, Brittany Snow!

Dear Brittany, I'm sorry I never saw Prom Night and I swear I will the next time Kim visits because this outfit seriously makes me love you more! Now, I don't "OMG LOVE PLAID!!1!", but I love how you combined casual with formal in this one, and yes, I really wish I had bought something in that color yellow this fall.

Excellent work, ladies!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Posted by: Kim

I love Valentine's Day! I know, you're shocked. Anyway, since I can't give you Godiva, I'll give you a win and a fail from the Heart Truth Red Dress Show, because what is better than the beginning of Fashion Week and bright red? Right? Right.

WIN:

Hilary Duff, in Donna Karan. She looks so elegant! And adult! And this dress is basically Kate Winslet's royal blue one from Whatever Awards Show A Few Days Or Weeks Ago, except minus the weird draping or whatever it was that was happening at the bottom, which is to say it improves upon something that was already pretty good! Excellent.

And, FAIL:

Oh, my. I sincerely hope Amanda Bynes is more graceful than I am (highly likely), because if I tried to strut the catwalk in this negligee-pretending-to-be-a-dress, the front row would most certainly be getting up close and personal with my ... undergarments. Anyway, apparently Swarovski designed this for the show. I didn't know Swarovski designed anything except crystal, actually, and I'm thinking maybe the world would be a better place if I were correct. Oh well. At least Amanda's got the legs to pull this off (and I have a vague apprehension she probably didn't get to choose this dress for herself anyway, so I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt), though I would like to point out that if she were wearing tights, "TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS!" would be rampant among critiques of this look, but, um, she's not even doing that. Eep.
