Happy 50th Birthday, Lindsay Lohan!

Lindsay LohanThey say hard living can really age a person --

And no one offers better proof of this than Lindsay Lohan, who appeared to be pushing 50 at a recent New York Fashion Week event.

Judging by her over-processed wig of a platinum mane, matronly dress, frumpy coat, and haggard expression, Lindsay seems to be aging a lot faster than the average 25-year-old.

Perhaps all of those "Red Bulls" she's drinking have something to do with it ...

... or maybe she's simply aging in LA years. Isn't it true that Hollywood actresses age two years for every one of ours? That would make her, coincidentally --

50!

I think this theory explains everything!

What about you?

Kristen Stewart's Custom Vans Are an Embarrassment

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier

VansKristen Stewart pretty much epitomizes the term "bershon."

She really couldn't be more bored by us, the bothersome Little People. Her primary goal in life, it seems, is convincing the world that she is waaaaay too cool to care.

And if I had any illusions that her constant pouting and eye-rolly expressions were merely a front for major insecurity, the sneakers she "custom designed" as a 'Custom Culture Ambassador' for Vans put those suspicions to rest.

Take a look.

Really, Kristen? Was this the best you could do?

What gets me is that these sneakers are supposed to artistically inspire high schoolers. Way to let them know how much you care, Kris.

Luckily, the other celebs who agreed to take part in this project took their duties a little more seriously. Check out the amazing results after the jump!

Beware Customs Fees on Overseas Purchases

Dorothy PerkinsFellow style blogger Vera Sweeney got an unpleasant surprise after ordering clothes from Dorothy Perkins, which is essentially a slightly more upscale British version of Forever 21.

She writes:

I placed my order and then a few days later received an email telling me I owed $85 in taxes to Customs. I figured it was spam and deleted it. Then I got a phone call saying the same exact thing.

Come on ... I wasn’t told I had to pay that???

In the end, I had to pay for the package to come to the US and the fees were actually MORE than my order total. MORTIFIED!

Wow, Vera! This is good information for us to remember when we're thinking of ordering from overseas retailers.

I've ordered from British retailers Topshop and ASOS and never had to pay customs, but now I'm wondering ...

Has this customs problem ever happened to you?

NO WORDS For This Red Carpet Disaster Dress

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier
on Jan 29, 2012 at 1:16 PM

Shy'mLately, I've been laying off the disastrous dresses certain actresses choose for their red carpet photo opps, mostly because there are JUST SO MANY OF THEM.

But this one?

This one takes the cake.

I present to you Shy'm, a French chanteuse who turned heads on the red carpet last night at a music awards ceremony in Cannes.

I've never heard of Shy'm, but I do know one thing about her.

She's certainly not SHY.

'm?

I also can say that this "dress" is, without a doubt, the worst red carpet disaster I think I've ever seen.

It's so bizarre, I don't really even know quite what to make of it.

What about you?

OAKWhen I was sent a link to these drop-crotch skinny jeans, I was sure it had to be some kind of joke.

I was wrong.

These saggy/skinny blue jeans are the real deal -- and you won't believe how much they cost!

A Forever Lazy Mommy War!

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier
on Jan 14, 2012 at 9:30 AM

Forever Lazy Mommy WarYesterday, we debuted our second episode of "I'll Take That Dare," in which I wore a Forever Lazy onesie in public and showed you people's hilarious reactions to it.

Well, responses to the show have been pouring in ever since. One guy told me that he was sitting in class behind a college student who was wearing one. An attorney reported that someone showed up in court last week wearing a Forever Lazy. And a mom saw a family in matching Forever Lazies at a Florida theme park.

Most surprising, though, is that this Forever Lazy video appears to have launched a brand new Mommy War, with women taking sides over whether or not it's appropriate to wear a gigantic pair of pajamas in public.

Check out what both sides have to say, and add your own opinion in the comments, after the jump!

Swastika Earrings Are the Worst Fashion Statement No Matter What

Posted by Maressa Brown

buddhist swastikaAs something of a jewelry hoarder, I'm always ducking into random accessory shops wherever I go. Especially in NYC, where there are so many cultures represented, from Arab to Asian and everything in between, it's cool to see all different types of cultural symbols in the form of dangly earrings or long pendants. But a certain pair of earrings that were recently for sale in a Brooklyn shop called Bejeweled were definitely not cool. They looked like straight-up Nazi swastikas.

When a city councilman noticed the earrings earlier this week, he raised his concerns about them with the owner of the store, Young Sook Kim. She replied that they had nothing to do with Nazis ... They're a sign of prosperity in Tibetan Buddhism. True, but also, too bad ... Swastika jewelry, no matter its intended meaning, will never be acceptable in the U.S.

Charlize TheronAre you a 30-something woman who still wears Hello Kitty clothing or accessories?

Well, Charlize Theron thinks you have a problem. The Oscar-winning actress revealed in a New York TimesTalk panel that she had the costume director buy Hello Kitty shirts for the "messed up" (her words) character she plays in the new movie, Young Adult.

Is Charlize right, or does she need to back off of grown women in Hello Kitty garb?

Finally! Pajama Jeans for MEN!

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier
on Dec 18, 2011 at 1:17 PM

LakesideThank God there's no ceiling on tacky -- otherwise, we might never have the opportunity to buy a pair of 'pajama jeans' for the fashionably clueless men in our lives!

And in my opinion, with their "rips" and creative shading, these are even better than the real thing!

Even better, they're only $12.95 at Lakeside.com!

WOOOOOOOOOOOT!

But if you think these are laughable, wait until you see the other version for men that's available.

You won't BELIEVE this pair ...

xmas photosHo ho ho, Merry Christmas! It's almost time to gather around a precariously propped evergreen in our pajamas. But before we get to all that excitement, there will surely be a holiday party or two where we can blow off some Christmas steam. And if you're lucky, said parties will mandate you wear an ugly Christmas sweater. I've never been to such a get-together, but I've always admired the theme. I've been dying to wear this Christmas sweatshirt I have that lights up, plays music, and just overall dominates, but alas, my invitations to all the ugly Christmas sweater parties must have gotten lost in the mail. Sad face. Guess we'll just have to look at other people's photos and pretend that we've been there, done that, even though we haven't, at all. So! Here are 10 hilarious holiday sweaters to get you in the spirit!
