Fashion Police Commentary



Hello All:

I realize that it's been like 6 months since I actually posted a blog in here, but I saw something on yahoo.com that really ticked me off fashionwise and I wanted to share it here with all of you.  There is a ton of "Stuff" that is considered "Fashion fopas" by people, from the high and mighty fashion designers all of down to most of the "Average Joes" or "Average Janes"  --  in other words, stuff that people should not ideally wear together because they are just not good together appearance wise.

In the below video, I talk about a "Fashion fopa" that I have seen one of Tony's friends do, (Tony being my husband, of course!)  Tony's friend does something with his (the friend's) clothes that make me want to say stuff about his lack of good clothing choices to this guy friend, even though I'm 99% sure that the guy would A:  Not completely understand how awful it (the offending clothing items) looks on him and B:  The guy would probably be insulted to the nth degree here.

As I mention in this video, I talk about how this is a video that was sparked by "Something that I've seen lately on yahoo.com."  I just wanted to point out here now that I have seen some stuff over the past, oh, probably say 6 months to a year on yahoo's main page that has caused me to shoot some video commentary about that stupid/strange/lame/other stuff there.  The below video is an example of this statement being the truth in this case as well.


Any way, here is the video and I hope that you enjoy watching it yourselves!!  I also wanted to say that if you are guilty of doing what I talk about in this video, do both yourself and others a favor  --  stop looking like such a dork!

Angelina Jolie Replaced in Ad Campaign


posted by Lindsay Robertson - Fri Jan 8 2010, 2:21 AM PST



Angelina Jolie is being replaced by a fashion model. After a three-year campaign as the face of luxury knitwear giant St. John, the company has announced that they're replacing the actress because Jolie's fame has "overshadowed the brand."

CEO Glenn McMahon explained to Women's Wear Daily that the move wasn't personal, saying "We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette." "We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John," McMahon continued, "We have evolved."

However, Jolie's replacement isn't just any model. It's British supermodel Karen Elson, whose claims to fame include her flame-red hair and allowing fashion photographer Steven Meisel to convince her to shave off her eyebrows for a photo shoot.



But, curiously, Elson--like Jolie--is probably most famous for her personal life. In 2005, she married rocker Jack White after knowing him for just a month. The two wed in a ceremony conducted by a shaman in a canoe on the Amazon river.




The couple has two children, Scarlett, who was born in 2006, and Henry, born in 2007. They met when Elson starred in The White Stripes' video for the song "Blue Orchid."


This isn't the first time St. John has made changes, presumably to court younger consumers. Prior to Jolie and a brief campaign with Gisele, the company's spokesmodel was Kelly Gray, the daughter of the company's founders.



Gray's signature short blond hair, tan skin, and tendency to pose in beach settings with much-younger men (and occasionally, a tiger on a leash) defined the St. John brand for over two decades, so much so that she was known informally among St. John catalog-receivers and fashion bloggers as "the St. John lady."
