OPEN POST: Paging Joan Rivers!

Image
  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? It's  RIGHT HERE .

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?

A Parade Of Celebs At The Clooney Foundation Awards

Image
  Andra Day, George Clooney, and Alicia Keys at Albie Awards.  Photo: Neil Rasmus / BFA //Vogue The Clooney Foundation recently hosted its 2nd annual Albie Awards. The award is named after anti-apartheid hero Justice Albie Sachs. According to the Clooney's Foundation's website:  "The Albie Awards were created to shine a protective spotlight on courageous justice defenders who are at risk - sending a message to those who abuse human rights that the world is watching." What better way to shine the spotlight on those risking their lives for having the courage to speak up about human rights atrocities than by throwing a glitzy bash. The event was attended by a parade of A-listers wearing gowns and tuxedos whose value could probably feed a small impoverished nation. I'm always leery of foundations because so many of them are created as tax shelters for their founders. Who can blame them when tax laws have so many loopholes. And before anyone says anything, I know Amal ...

A Tacky Day at The Races! Rate the Worst.

Image
Dressing up for Horseracing has rules; during the weekdays, it is more casual, and unless you are at the royal races in certain boxes, you don't have to go full out. But these women didn't get the memo. The London social season is over, and it is hunting season now when the social scenes move to the country and the social calendar changes to country pursuits-shooting parties, weekend parties, hunting parties, and so forth. So, these races are less prestigious, but there is no reason to look ridiculous. You should still wear something tasteful, comfortable, tasteful, and TASTEFUL for the love of all that is holy.  British hats are wacky, and some women love to wear them and have collections of them. Some designers are better than others at it; Philip  Treacy makes nice ones. You should save them for weddings, some weekend racing events, and some events when it is asked for; otherwise, you run the risk of looking foolish and getting your picture taken. Wouldn't someone loo...
