| Celebrity Look-Alike Gallery: VMA Dresses And Inanimate Objects Posted: 13 Sep 2010 10:31 AM PDT It’s no secret Lady Gaga dressed herself in steak for last night’s Video Music Awards — the diva looked ready for the grill in her raw meat dress. But we bet you didn’t know Ciara wore a feather duster and Selena Gomez hopped into her best TV antenna. In honor of Lady Gaga’s carnivorous ensemble, we matched celebs to the inanimate objects they most resembled at Sunday’s show.

Awesome. (Gawker) Post from: Crushable  |

The cast will be debuting the song, which will be featured in the show’s season premiere on Tuesday, September 21. Could it be the new “Don’t Stop Believing?” Post from: Crushable Cast of 'Glee' to Perform 'Empire State Of Mind' on SIRIUS XM Tomorrow  |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2010 10:10 AM PDT This is one of the most original items I’ve seen this year…part necklace, part scarf: I literally just said out loud “I think I’ll call it…the scarf!” (I am terrible at portmanteaus.) But this awesome accessory looks like nothing we’ve ever seen, which means you’ll definitely stand out in a sea of keffiyehs. And for $32, it’s basically a steal. Thanks to our partners at From the product seller:

| Gallery: Behind The Scenes At Charlotte Ronson And Whitney Port's Fashion Week Parties Posted: 13 Sep 2010 08:42 AM PDT It's Fashion Week here in New York, and that means shows all day, parties all night, and hangovers all morning. Crushable's Drew and I donned our hippest attire (i.e., not jeggings) and headed out to a few events. First up was the after-party for Charlotte Ronson, whose fall line is full of patterns and pretty, wearable dresses. The event had an open bar sponsored by O.N.E. Coconut Water (fashion and potassium, together at last), and we took full advantage of the free drinks. We walked up the steps on the heels of Mark Ronson who was sporting a shock of platinum hair. Drew and I quickly spotted Josh Groban, Rashida Jones and Shenae Grimes amidst a mix of high-heeled and suited-up pretty young things. After grabbing drinks, we arbitrarily parked ourselves nearby to take in the scene. I looked over and realized we were at the table of Charlotte herself, who was holding court next to brother Mark and sister Samantha Ronson. People kept stumbling by to greet the designer and steal ice from the bucket on her table. Drew and I grounded our heels and held onto our prime real estate. We decided to throw haughty looks at anyone who walked our way, and it worked — everyone assumed we were supposed to be at the table. Party infiltration success! After the Ronson-fest we headed over to Whitney Port's party at a club called 1Oak (read: "one of a kind") that I suspect may have been purgatory. The place was pretty empty when we arrived — though I supposed it was still relatively early in NYC time. This party was most definitely was NOT an open bar, and I ended up plunking down $40 for two mixed drinks. Goodness! Drew and I were feeling a bit tired and thought we'd sit for a minute while waiting for Whit and her gang to arrive. We soon discovered that the club's only seats were in reserved bottle service areas, but figured we'd try our luck again and sat down anyway. We ended up befriending a nice group of kids from Canada who'd paid $1000 for access to seats and a bottle of Grey Goose. They kindly let us sit on their bench and talked with us about hockey and poutine. We hear Whitney eventually showed up along with folks like Swizz Beats and Reggie Bush in tow, but Drew and I were already in a cab by that point, more interested in meeting comfortable shoes and our beds. Lessons learned: 1. If you act like you belong somewhere people will totally assume that you do.

| True Blood Recap 3x12: Pour Cement On Us, We're Done Posted: 13 Sep 2010 08:22 AM PDT
Well, here are some of my predictions for next season, based on what should definitely happen:
1. Jason, at first gruff and stand-offish, eventually comes to adore his new family of lovable House of 1000 Corpses inbreds who he has been tasked with “owning.” 3. Tara dies, or leaves the show forever. And never comes back as a sassy, chiding ghost like Godrick, because we don’t need vampire ghosts on this show, and we certainly don’t need Tara floating around, judging everyone. 4. Sam tends to his brother, who he has shot in the leg, because come on we know Sam wouldn’t just shoot Tommy in the back, I don’t care how many weird flashbacks of his former life of a bad-ass you try to cram into one episode. 5. Eric learns a different posture than this: 6. Hoyt, Jessica, Arlene and Terry get the hell out of town and start their own spin-off show because clearly they are the only characters that are even semi-likable by this point. 7. Oh, besides Lafayette. Who becomes a witch! 8. Sookie dies, or leaves forever. 9. Pam becomes queen of everything, and starts a sapphic relationship with the vampire PR lady from TV.

| More Terrifying: Sea Lions or Seals? Posted: 13 Sep 2010 07:49 AM PDT Today our friends over at Urlesque put up some videos to support their theory that sea lions make terrible barf noises. Good hypothesis guys! We mean, sea lions are scary because they are deadly (but not the deadliest catch, which is man, or possibly mongoose), but the noises they emit are nothing compared to these Boston zoo seals, which can mimic the sounds of men screaming. Which do you think is worse? Barfing Sea Lions: Moaning Seals: Consensus from Crushable’s Liana Maeby: “All animals are terrifying, is my attitude.” What about you?

| Fashion Week Backstage: Dressing Models for Doo-Ri Chung's Show Posted: 13 Sep 2010 07:29 AM PDT
As the models started to filter in, we were assigned to the girls we would be dressing. I was assigned two models with single looks. We took the garment bags off and got the clothes prêt-a-porter (ready to wear). The show was originally supposed to start at 4 p.m., but due to some fashion traffic jams, all previous shows ended late, causing ours to be delayed. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise because now I had more time to abuse the most under-appreciated part of fashion shows: the snack table. If there is ever an event with refreshments served, I'm there quicker than you can say 'cubes of cheese.' I'll admit it's a bit embarrassing carrying around the most densely packed small plastic plate, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. After one other brave snack-eating dresser and I had had our fill of fruits, cheeses and Whole Foods mini-sandwiches, we were told with a look of disgust to please wash our hands and then report back to our garment bags. The models were made-up and ready to go…and so were the people in the chairs out by the runway. With ten minutes until go time, the models found the clothes that they had been fitted for. I had two models: one was sweet with light blond hair and quiet serenity about her. I loved her. The clothes fit great, she didn't complain about it being too hot or too cold, or that she was tired, or about how much she just wanted a cigarette. She was an angel of a model. The other one, however, was not so serene. I was hurting her, she said. She could do it herself, she said. Really? Well then why do they bring in dressers just to dress you? Because you can’t just do it yourself. Dressing, however unpaid it may be, is a very tricky job and requires excellent negotiation skills — especially if you have a fussy model. If any makeup gets on the clothes, it's straight to the guillotine for both the model and the dresser. Was I willing to sacrifice my two-hour unpaid gig for one model's happiness? Absolutely not. So because all scars, blemishes, discolorations and faces are covered by heaps of makeup, you have to put a silk scarf around their head, covering their face. I can understand this being frustrating, being told what to do as a full grown adult, but being a muse has its cons. Sorry, models. After they were dressed and ready to go, they lined up and walked out one by one. Before we knew it, the show was over. All in all, a great show! The pieces were very elegant, full of artfully draped silky tops with matching bloomer shorts and blazers, cream colored suits, and adorable yet edgy sundresses. Doo-Ri's pieces in this show are similar to that of the pieces that she chooses to adorn herself: business classic meets sexy casual. After seeing what Doo-Ri has to offer for the upcoming Spring 2011, I'm sure I'm not the only one biting at the bit to see her Fall 2011 collection. Well done, Doo-Ri Chung and congratulations to all involved! Post from: Crushable Fashion Week Backstage: Dressing Models for Doo-Ri Chung's Show  |

This year I was fortunate enough to be asked to help out dressing models at Doo-Ri Chung's Spring 2011 show in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2010. The show was not held at Bryant Park, but instead the venue was a trendy art gallery in Chelsea called Eyebeam Gallery. I had done the dressing for the same show a year before so I wasn't as nervous as I was this time last year. When I got there, everyone was fussing over hair and makeup. Only two of the models had arrived on time, so we dressers were herded into a corner until they had something for us to do. Right when we had run out of worthless things to make small talk over, we were told to bring out the rolling racks. There was about 8 of us dressing 19 models. We were assigned garments bags filled with the models "look", or in some cases multiple "looks". If you have a model with two looks, then you have about 30 seconds in between their walks to get them completely into another outfit and, in some cases, different shoes. It is one of the most stressful things, as you can imagine.| You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
