Leigh Fugzark

One thing I love about Fashion Week is seeing all the old standbys who mean absolutely nothing to me for the rest of the year, but whose presence at Bryant Park mean that we will at least have SOMETHING to write about in any given front row. One such person? Leigh Lezark.

Of course, now she means something to all of us: She is the woman who showed us how to wear shrink-wrap over a leotard. My only question is whether, the reviled style of the 90s, that bodysuit snaps at the crotch -- if so, and you don't get those suckers closed super tight, that could prompt a front-row show of a whole different variety. Which would REALLY give us something to write.

Is it wrong that I'm kind of rooting for it now?

Fugsy Lowe

So....please tell me Daisy Lowe was leaving some hilarious London Fashion Week costume party and she didn't just pounce out of the house wearing a leopard print leotard?

Because if this were taken on Halloween, I would be like: cute! I'd add a little tail and ears! Like in Josie and the Pussycats! You're only 19 and you just had a break-up! You SHOULD be running around town dressed like a kittycat! Do it before it gets totally embarrassing! But if it's not a costume....love, Halloween is not that far away. You can't WAIT before you prance out in the bodysuit? Because right now, people are wondering what in the name of little green apples you're doing without your pants.

Fugly and Sweet

So, Madonna and I share a birthday, and the similarities between us are astounding. For instance, we both have blue eyes and fair skin. We both like England. We are both lapsed Catholics. We both wear shoes. See? It's like we're twins.

But there is one key difference:

And that difference is, when I hit the town wearing MY sheer shirt over my favorite black leotard and thigh-highs, I prefer not to look like I have just vomited the contents of my jewelry box down my front. Of course, I also never dress up as Jesus when I'm performing and I've never made out with Britney Spears, so maybe I'm just not living up to my full potential. 
The majority of you forgave Rihanna for dressing like a lemon cake. But can you forgive her for this contraption?

Before we all write this off as Rihanna being deeply original and offbeat, I should point you to our girl Kelly Clarkson, who did the "Like A Dead Virgin" thing a few years ago with -- I think -- equally stupid results. Of course, Kelly stopped short of strapping her tutu to a weight belt, and did not take care to add... what is that, a dickey? With tiny sleeves? A RUBBER dickey? It's bad enough that I look at a transparent tutu pyramid and shrug, "Eh, been there, seen that," but a DICKEY? Is THIS really where we are now, America?

Also, I know it's just a reflection off her metallic collar -- and we all know how awkward it can be when our metallic collars catch the light weirdly; it's my private pain -- but whenever I look at her neck, I see half of a gleaming silver mask staring back at me. Do you think her maybe-probably-boyfriend Chris Brown was gazing up at her and silently singing, "Rubber Dickey, you're the one; you make Sexy Time lots of fun! Rubber Dickey I'm awfully fond of you"? Or was he too busy thinking, "The PHAAAAAAANTOM of the Opera is HEEEEEEERE, INSIDE MY MIND"?

I have had many a conversation over the past week or so about this cover, and they all go something like this: "She looks hot! But the whole thing is sort of unseemly. But it's FRENCH! But it's just TOO MUCH. But maybe it's SEXY. But it's also sort of creepy. But that color is great. But I don't need to see her in this S&M panties-coordinated-with-belt thing. But at least it's interesting! But it makes me feel sort of uncomfortable. But maybe that's the point! But I hate it. No, I love it. No, it's terrible. No, it's AWESOME. No. Yes. No. I don't know. GOD, WON'T SOMEONE PUT IT TO A VOTE?!"

Your wish is my command, dear reader:

Byrdie Fug

I'm really not sure what all is going on in socialite Byrdie Bell's life.

But it appears to include a grueling gig playing Piper Perabo's long-lost cousin in Coyote Ugly 2: Coyote Uglier. Please fight the moonlight, Byrdie -- I think you really, really need to get some sleep. And perhaps a personal shopper.

FugO, FugO, Gossip Girl

I'm not opposed to a good love triangle when it's done right -- why, hello, Brenda/Dylan/Kelly! -- but as fans of the Gossip Girl books know, the TV series has drawn its characters just differently enough that the entrance of dreamy Dan's "best friend" Vanessa has been pretty unwelcome. In the books, she's kind of punky and cool, he's moody and pretentious, and Serena isn't as grounded; in the show, though, Dan and Serena are mostly adorable, and so being asked to swallow a duller incarnation of Vanessa is a bit like washing down your cheesecake with a glass of curdled milk.

And of course, in life, it's kind of hard to follow Blake Lively no matter WHO you are. She's so pretty.

Even when she's evoking a special performance of "You're The One That I Want" as costumed by the late Fred Rogers, Blake makes it all look very cool and comfortable, as if she could as easily wear this out to the video store as to a party. It's not quite my favorite outfit, but by and large it works on her and she elevates it into something more interesting than its component parts.

So the deck was kind of stacked against poor Jessica Szohr, who, in addition to playing second fiddle to Serena on Gossip Girl, on this night was also fifth chair in the clarinet section while Blake nailed her solos. Check it:
