EVENING NIGHTCAP: Critics Choice Fashuuun. Gayle King Complains *insert eye roll*

Image
  ► Award season (aka celebrity circle jerk) has official kicked-off with the Critics Choice Awards held last night. As most of you know, I hate award shows. First of, there are too many of them. Second, why hand out prizes to overpaid celebs who are doing their damn jobs? If that's how society is going to roll, then every industry should have an award show. I'd like to see awards show for the Janitorial Arts, Pipefitters Union, and American Society for Convenience Store Clerks. Anyhoo, since PW Manor readers are astute connoisseurs of fashion, below are the frocks that grabbed my attention.  Read More Chelsea Handler, host of the 2026 Critics Choice Awards. Photo: Critics Choice Comment: Starting the parade of WTF is Teyana Taylor. She opted with throw everything on to see what would stick. In her case, everything. She went to a Men's Warehouse and hit the clearance rack. Then decided for a bit of Las Vegas charm by tackling a showgirl and running off with a feather boa. ...

OPEN POST: Paging Joan Rivers!

  The Jurassic World Rebirth photocall took place in London yesterday and all I could think after seeing these photos is "what would Joan Rivers say?" Scarlett Johansson looked uncomfortable in a Schiaparelli dress. Mahershala Ali opted for double denim. Jonathan Bailey wore a horrendous sweater and FLIP FLOPS. Rupert Friend also sported dubious footwear (but at least he was serving face). And the director, Gareth Edwards, opted for a stretched-out t-shirt and Dad Shoes™. What a fashion disaster!

OPEN POST: Näytös25 - Fashion's Future

Image
Happy Sunday, dears! Today I share with you the works of graduating students from  Aalto University  in Helsinki at their recent showcase,  Näytös25 . Professors Maarit Salolainen and Julia Valle Noronha explain the exhibit's purpose: "We want to show fashion and textiles beyond wearable items - their stories, textures, and research potential. These works question industry norms and propose new ways to design and produce." What do we think, hors, is it too much fashion in the good way or the bad way? You can view more here !

Golden Globes Fashuuun Recap

Image
  ► The Golden Globes took place Sunday evening. This year fashuuun game was pretty tame. I think celebs are finally getting a clue the public is tired of them showing up to award ceremonies dressed like out of work street walkers panning for loose change in front of an abandoned 7-Eleven. Overall, there weren't too may failures. Below are a few disappointments. Read More Comment: First up is Ali Wong. Her dress was an homage to the chamois strips at a car wash. The black gloves made her arms look spider legs. Jeremy Strong decided to get into the St.Patrick's Day spirit by wearing a green suit with a matching Gillian's Island hat to pass himself off as a modern day leprechaun who has a side gig as a DJ for high school prom. Eddie Redmayne...yikes! His suit is a walking chess / checkers board. WTF was he thinking?  Zendaya's gown was from the Werther's Collection. Her hair was too "matronly" for her young age. A disappointment for Zendaya as she's usu...

OPEN POST: Issa Rae Being Gorgeous

  The British Fashion Council Awards took place last night and there were some interesting (read: ugly) looks on the red carpet. But Issa Rae showed up looking every bit of perfection. Funny, beautiful, talented. She's the whole package! Here are some other choices from last night: Nicola Coughlan Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Stella McCartney, Anna Wintour and Baz Luhrmann Source: FilmMagic BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post?

OPEN POST: Peckerwood Field Trip-Animal Rock Zoo!

Image
I didn't think this was real until I saw it was in Alabama. Of course! Where else would you find a zoo full of jankily painted rocks that are supposed to look like animals? I know the history behind it sounds sweet; Granpappy saw a boulder in the road, said it looked like a bull, tried to find a professional artist to paint it, couldn't, so, dangit, he did it his own damn self.  People pay money to come to a zoo with nary an animal to behold but a field of rocks painted by someone who should be banned from every paint store in the universe. There is a level of fun absurdity about it that would be a wacky good time to see when drunk or high and do fucked up photo shoots all over the zoo. Channeling 70s fashion would be our theme.  Camel toes were the thing in the '70s. Apparently.  I just wanted to offer you some fashion inspo for the trip.  Alabama Rock Zoo awaits! Uncanny resemblance to...um...er...a cow seal. A frog?
