Biophilia

I am a huge fan of Bjork, and if this photo is anything to go by her upcoming Biophilia tour is going to be epic. Gaga who?

Across the Universe

 Argentina

Generally speaking I am not a huge fan of beauty pageants, but I am a fan of wild, outrageous, unfeasibly large costumes that are the embodiment of a whole nation's identity. Obviously.

And for that reason I bring you some of the contestants in the National Costume round at this year's Miss Universe competition.

Amazing, huh?!

This has truly made my day.

Except for when it comes to the UK's offering. A union jack bedecked super hero in plastic white knee boots? Is that our identity? I get it might be referencing the Olympics and all, but I also get that the costume sucks. Plus, it makes a perfectly slim and lovely lady look as though she is smuggling a football down her onesie. Not so flattering on the midriff, poor lady. It doesn't say too much for our cultural identity either. All I'm getting is Spice Girls and glamour models. There's got to be more to the UK than that...

Wing It

Holy smokes! Would you look at these Jeremy Scott winged trainers for Adidas. They are SER.I.OUS!

Yowza!

It Takes All Sorts

Aah! Just what I have been looking for - a pair of shoes to go with my Bertie Bassett costume. Sweet! (Pun intended.)

Like Moths to a Flame

The accessory most likely  to put a smile on my face?  Gotta be Prada's flame shoes. Glorious!

As Happy as a Clam

Dude, I am so happy that Bjork is back!

In the Know

SJP should be in way more films. I am really enjoying her promotional run for I Don't Know How She Does It. She always looks interesting.

Sure, slightly crazy and flamboyant too, but that is much better than being safe and boring.

Wouldn't you agree?

Ricci Pickings

You know those Nina Ricci shoes that were just so ridiculous that no one was ever going to attempt to wear them?


Right?

Well, I think here is the proof that it should have stayed that way.



God bless Daphne Guinness for trying, but seriously, if she can't pull them off surely they are entirely beyond redemption.

I think I might have found my new favourite crazy fashion crush. Seriously, what the bejeesus is she wearing?! I don't love the outfit but I think I might love her.

WTF??!?

Has the world gone quite, quite mad? Yeah, sure, I'm a devoted fan of utterly impractical footwear (aren't we all?), but this is surely a mammoth leap too far, n'est-ce pas? As opposed to the teeniest tiniest little steps you would have to take in those shoes. Or maybe they are just for drinking champagne out of. In which case that is obviously absolutely fine/utterly reasonable...
