Marcus Bachmann: Personal Shopper & Stylist



Towleroad has this tidbit from a 2006 article about the then-Congresswoman-elect's stylish husband:
Shopping help comes from another quarter, as well. Before Vice President Dick Cheney's visit this past summer, Bachmann's husband, Marcus, hit the stores -- "he's got a good sense of style" -- and came home with "a sleek, simple hourglass dress with a yoke collar in winter white." He even bought a matching coat and shoes. "I just slipped it on."
I have two words for you: WINTER WHITE. That is all ...

Happy Birthday To A True Supermodel

From left: Linda, Cindy, Naomi, Christie

In the early 90's, the Supermodels ruled over the fashion world. This handful of young women - Naomi Campbell, Christie Turlington, Cindy Crawford, and Claudia Schiffer - changed fashion. No longer were models nameless mannequins - they became superstars in their own right. 

Linda Evangelista in 2009

But perhaps the brightest star of them all at the time was Linda Evangelista - who turns 46 today. Evangelista, who jokingly told Vogue that she and her fellow Supermodels "don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day", is still waking up and working today - most recently as the face of Talbots.


But my gay ass will always remember Ms. Evangelista as the star of George Michael's Too Funky video - which also featured a young Tyra Banks:



Happy Birthday, Linda!

WTF (Way Too Fierce)


I'm not sure exactly what this is (other than a fashion show), but I'm pretty damn sure it's FIERCE.

She Needs A Bigger Bra ...


... and also to shave her mustache. And those bottoms don't fit her so well - they seem to be bulging out of the front. Not to mention that her top and bottom don't match. Miss Thing clearly needs a stylist. 

Girls these days don't seem to care about their appearance AT ALL anymore ...

Werq ... ???


Do models get "hazard pay"?? I'd like to imagine that when the poor girl finally got backstage, she whipped off those shoes and beat the living HELL out of the designer who made her wear them:

Showing The Children How It's Done


I saw this over at TLo and just had to share. Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd attending AARP The Magazine's 10th Annual Movies For Grownups Awards in California. Hello Angels!


Flawless. As stated on TLo, DO NOT EVEN THINK about discussing plastic surgery or dressing age-appropriately when it comes to these two. When you look this good, Roberto Cavalli leopard print (on "Kelly") and Tadashi Shoji sequins (on "Chris") is absolutely appropriate. Actually, it's quite fierce.

As far as the plastic surgery thing ... I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Ms. Smith at a Shear Genius event a couple years ago and the "work" she's had done is as flawless as the rest of her. Even up close. Plus, she was sweet as sugar.

The Miley's, Xtina's and Megan Fox's of the world need to study these women closely. THIS is how it's done.

Boxer Shorts








"Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts".

“This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the Fruit-of-the-Loom guys laughing at me.”

Do They Have "Timeouts" In Fashion ??


Is this model calling a "timeout" on the runway during a fashion show? Is that legal? I'm pretty sure it results in a 15 yard penalty and the loss of an accessory. Or something.

Maybe he's making the international symbol for Twitter (which I totally just made up) ...


Speaking of fashion and Twitter - at 10 pm (EST) I'll be drunk tweeting The Fashion Show: Ultimate Colostomy Bag - come say "hi".
