okay, this may be a little controversial.

I really, really enjoy that we have a gorgeous first lady that wears more than just an Oscar de la Renta suit from the 90s or has no real fashion sense. Really, I do. I think Michelle Obama is wonderful, and definitely has a great sense of style.

But why are her daily fashion choices big fashion news?

Literally, every single day, I see a post that goes something like... "Omg, Michelle Obama wore J. Crew yesterday!" or "Michelle seen popping her collar at blah blah blah event."

I just don't understand why this is such a big deal. When she picked that gorgeous white Jason Wu dress for the Inaugural Ball, that was news. Mostly because all of the fashion elite was competing for her choice of design and the chance for her to wear it at one of the biggest events in our country when celebrating a newly elected President. But before that I swear I read hundreds of posts about every stinking detail leading up to the big reveal.

Dare I ask again, why?

She graced the cover of Vogue last March, and now the upcoming Glamour issue. She looks to die for, but I hope we can stick to that as the coverage of her fashion sense rather than a daily tidbit that really does not matter in the slightest. I know she's great, but I don't care what she wore to the Bronx yesterday or to the World Series Game. Thanks.

a trend i wish would die forever.

Okay, maybe people see these as a joke. But I have seen quite a few people wearing them legitimately out in public when they are not intending [or so I believe...] to go dance on a pole and remove their clothes.

Clear heels. Why. I just do not understand. At all.

Unfortunately, the trend has shown up again on runways for Spring 2010, which I neglected to notice until seeing a post on the Cut. Apparently, Milan designers that I have come to respect, such as Prada or DSquared2, think this is a good idea.

Well, Miuccia, Dean, and Dan, you are sorely mistaken. Please do not ever create shoes that incorporate plastic. It's unbecoming and ugly.

I literally cannot help but scrunch up my face disapprovingly if I see anyone wearing these or see them in a store somewhere. I'm sorry for my strong opinions, but I support the furthering of fashion, not disgusting footwear.

And it isn't really the actual heel part of the shoe that bothers me. I mean I don't like it, but it doesn't make my skin crawl. It's the top of the shoe where real straps are supposed to be, but instead clear panels lie. Not okay.

And that concludes my rant for this evening.

ridiculous. the update.

So remember my Lindsay Lohan rant?

Here's the Times review.

Called it.

ridiculous.

Ok. So I have a brief rant to accomplish. But only quickly, seeing as any longer than a few paragraphs is a total waste of digital breath.

That being said...

Designer Emanuel Ungaro, whom I have never heard of before this ridiculous story [and I know things], will conduct his Spring 2010 Ready to Wear show on Sunday in Paris.

Okay. What's the big idea you ask?

The big idea, or more like the colossal disaster, is that --gasp-- Lindsey Lohan is his artistic adviser, overseeing his collection. Yes, that ridiculous hot mess of a "celebrity" that annoys the crap out of me every time I have to see her cracked out face in a picture or plays on her name in a headline.

Does a person that dresses like this know anything about fashion? No. No is the answer.

Sorry for the harsh reality, but I feel like she should stick to either attempts as an actress or go crawl into a hole in some Hollywood mansion and stay there...so this nonsense about her intruding about one of my favorite weeks of the year ceases.

Kthanks. That's all, Miranda Priestly style.

And I had to have some kind of photo. And frankly, I would absolutely rather look at this gorgeous man than any more of Crazy.

On a brighter note... Paris Fashion Week started today! A close second to my favorite New York Fashion Week. Stay tuned for great things, I'm sure. Chanel. Balenciaga. Lanvin. Chloe. I could go on.

Here's the schedule :)
