Packing Meat
From style correspondent Caitlin Leffel:
"David Brooks contemplates fashion on the New York Times Op-Ed page,
citing the hostile takeover of the meatpacking district as the perfect
example of how we're trying to have our beef carcasses and eat them
too. As the piece observes, sometimes fashion is frivolous, but sometimes it is indicative of a significant cultural atmosphere, like how ten years ago we were on
top of the world and bought cruelty-free at the Body Shop, but now that
everyone is unemployed and pissed off, we just want to run [our problems] over
with a Mack Truck. Now, down on Gansevoort, yuppies who have taken their
clothing cues from On the Waterfront sip Stella at Pastis while packers schlep
lamb shanks into neighboring warehouses. Hey, you can take the hipsters out
of Soho, but you can bet your Manolos that they won't be out on the docks
with the teamsters anytime soon."

Stars Scrubbing Up Real Nice Lately
The wiley E! Fashion Police are back at it. Who was spared and
who got spanked this week:
-Cringe-inducing couple Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas
are let loose on the public again. Is it me, or are they Posh and Becks
gone horribly horribly wrong?
Apparently money can buy class, as they looked quite nice.
-Poor poor Paula Abdul looking for alms in her
psychedelic "Little Match Girl" outfit. People would donate more
if she passed the hat around instead of keeping it on her head.
-Drew Barrymore seems like she's been "Queer-Eye'd" in the best way possible.
Sexed-up and classy in Chloe, she looks as if she was born
wearing couture. Bravo! Bravo!!
-Latest screen lesbo Charlize Theron could get any woman she
wanted in a be-ribboned Dior gown. Charlize + Angelina =
match made in heaven?

It's not MulleT, it's Mull-et
West Coasters have picked their heads out of their
wheatgrass juice to discover the mullet (however unfortunate)
is back in fashion. It's too bad our West Side brethren just
can't handle the truth about the 'do:
"Cheri Soto cringes when people call her
disconnected hair a mullet - even though it is.
'It's fabulous. I love it,' Soto says. 'I call
it "the disconnected," because my mom said, "It's nice,
it looks good on you, it looks like a mullet," and I got freaked out.
When I hear that word I get totally freaked out."
Pictures, Cheri. Pictures would freak us out.

Blue Crush
Looks like some people will try anything to end the low-riding jeans trend.
While we are fully in favor of any movement that stops
excessive crack-spotting, we never expected the government
to get so involved. Yes girls, even The Man is trying to put an end
to your overexposed asses:
"Frequent wearers of [low-riders] could be more prone to
suffer from thigh tingling, burning or numbness because of the
compression of a sensory nerve, health providers said."
Compressing said nerve, the lateral femoral cutaneous, can cause
"crush syndrome."
Nice move guys. This will surely scare X-tina into covering her
pubis.
