London Fashion Week: Giles Deacon

Posted by The MILF

Giles Deacon figured out an ingenious way to insert boyish obsessions into a fashion show in a way that does not insert them into the clothes. The comical headpieces of Pac-Man (and his Ms.), Darth (and his unknown lady friend), and cosmonauts, were sweetly outrageous, guaranteeing plenty of press too.

Barneys Creative Director Simon Doonan and designer Jonathan Adler were wed yesterday at City Hall in San Francisco. Yay! I love this ubiquitous tag team.

Us to Bristol: Your Kid Could Be Just Like Barack Obama!

Posted by The MILF

Is Us Weekly attempting to diffuse the fracas over perceived anti-Palinism, with an irresponsible piece about celebrities born to teen mothers? Under the subhed, “The future child of Bristol Palin, 17, will be in good company,” the story spotlights Selena Gomez (born to a 16-year-old), Jack Nicholson (born to a 17-year-old), Debi Mazar (born to a 15-year-old) and Barack Obama (born to an 18-year-old). But these success stories are anomalies in the annals of kids born to teens. Moreover, neither their mothers nor their own births were used by their grandmother-to-be as a religiously ordained political statement in her quest for the vice presidency. In any event, let’s hope the spawn of Bristol and Levi rebels against everything its family stands for and becomes a community organizer before heading to Hollywood and becoming besties with Matt Damon’s daughter.

Friday Funhouse: I’m Not Teasing! (Whereas Karlie and Agyness Are Totally, Pleasingly, Teased to the Be-Jeez)

The Cut calls it: Sixteen-year-old model Karlie Kloss is suddenly all grown up, and I’m not sure how I feel about it.

Should Sarah Palin succeed in making abortion illegal for rape victims, Slate’s Dear Prudence has some very useful advice on how to break it to the kid that daddy is Genghis Khan incarnate.

Give us your gays, your blacks, your zaftigs: Cover Girl gets kudos from Jossip for the most inclusive ad campaigns in the business. (Gay face: Ellen. Black face: Rihanna. Zaftig and black and maybe gay face: Queen Latifah.)

It turns out that John McCain could have passed immigration reform had he enlisted the services of Cher Horowitz (the Alicia Silverstone character in “Clueless”). You know, if the hardcore ladies at Feministe say so — and the hardcore ladies at Racialicious agree — it’s totes, like, totes.

Agyness Deyn cleans her apartment in Vivienne Westwood stilettos. I don’t know why anyone who is projected to make $20 million this year is doing any kind of cleaning, but she’s got a very good professional reason for tromping around chez elle in les talons. Find out why, and get tons more terrific tidbits in Radar’s six-point guide to the model of the moment.

Yay Rachel Maddow!

I never felt intellectually equipped to read David Foster Wallace, but I’m sad he died. R.I.P.
