IN: Smart Girls

No really, smart girls are in. Fashion designers say so - and really, when are the runways wrong? Glasses are the new black or new skulls or new robots or whatever the heck is in right now (I tend to forget because, you know, I'm like already down with Fall/Winter 2007 and looking towards the resort collections for 2008). And sure, I know that glasses don't make you smart but they sure make you look smart, which is why I always opt not to wear contacts for job interviews. Silly, but it seems to work.

But back to the past, present and near future. For this Spring, lovely and talented Canuck, Kim Mimran mixed glasses with sweet sixties-inspired ensembles on the models at her Pink Tartan show.



And style-maker, Miuccia Prada showed girly cat-eye spectacles the Pink Ladies from Grease would have swooned over, at her Spring Miu Miu presentation.



Finally, for Fall 2007, Yigal Azrouël (who I honestly hadn't heard of until this season) put big, eighties-style, black-rimmed glasses on both his girls and guys. The look was a little more typical bookworm than Pink Tartan or Miu Miu, with wooly layers and stripey scarves but there was still a hint of glamour - because, let's face it. Throw anything onto a super-skinny model (No, of course ibeing anorexic is not glamorous but skinny, despite the hoopla, is the industry standard right now) who's strutting down a brightly lit runway with hordes of fashionistas and photographers in awe, and it seems glamorous, okay?



The moral of this story, people, is that glasses are hip and the best kinds are retro and a bit ironic. If you're prepping for sunny springtime and plan to sport contacts because you want to avoid the glare, go for classic eighties Ray Bans, this summer's response to oversized socialite specs.

OUT: ANY REFERENCE TO COWBELLS

IN: robots

oh, ashley! the fugs girls stick it to skechers in their stinging post, which is both brilliant and awesome. but i can't help but notice the most disturbing thing about this ad. obviously, skechers did some market research, found out that all the cool kids read THIS HERE blog and decided that ashlee should wear a skull skull cap. omg. this is the beginning of the end.
if you haven't already, please go and buy yourself something with a robot on it.

IN: BTTF fashion

if we're going to take fashion inspiration from a movie, fuck marie antoinette. look at back to the future part II!! i know the year is supposed to be TWOO THOUSAND FIFTEEN, but i'm about to rock these kicks, like, yesterday. look at the awesomeness !! if i saw a boy wearing these nikey high tops, i'd be all up his grill, yo.

OUT: pretending you're drunk driving

we all know the skinniest girl alive aka nicole richie would never lower herself to something as stupid as drunk driving. see, i have it on good authority that my namesake is actually really strung out on all kinds of drugs. poor nicole. i feel bad for the girl. it's like richie rich. poor little rich boy and all that.

IN: this ONE janice dickenson thing, not that i like her

for some reason, i can't embed video today. click here for the movie. you won't be sorry. my favourite is the fifth day.

confused: me

oh poor brit brit. i mean, after all her vajayjay flashin glory, she's really embarrassed. so she wrote us a little note. thank goodness she's come to her senses and given victoria secret some much-needed publicity in the process. phew.

IN: ROBOTS

it came to me quite suddenly yesterday. as you might know, i like to predict what i'll be wearing on t-shirts for the year to come. two years ago, it was birds on shirts. this past year, it's been the beloved skull that this blog was named after.

LO AND BEHOLD. 2007 is all about robots. that's right, people. robots are the new skulls. robots are the coolest thing this side of skulls. and i think you should go out and purchase some robot-themed apparel before they become too popular and every 13-year-old with $5 can buy all the robot merchandise that's sure to follow this very blog post. GO! go now!
