Jelly shoes are back. You likey?



Jelly shoes! Remember the 80s? Stirrup pants (wasn't allowed to have them) and jelly shoes (also wasn't allowed to have them) and jelly bracelets (thankfully was allowed to have those) were big.

So...do you like these?

I flippin hate them.

Givenchy jelly shoes in baby pink, featured prominently on Style.com. Marc Jacobs did a version of them last year.

Jelly shoes are bad, people. Don't go there. They make your feet all sweaty and blister-prone. Sweaty feet means smelly feet.

And I'm not just saying that cause I wasn't allowed to have them.

Although that might play a small part in it.

Anna Wintour made the Rodarte sisters lose weight


If you've read this month's issue of Vogue, the one with the controversial Gisele/LeBron James cover, you'll find a particularly salacious article on how a Vogue editor approached the Rodarte sisters to "get healthy".

Of course, this is Anna Wintour's magazine, and you realize "get healthy" is really code for "lose weight, fatso."

She made Oprah lose weight to be on the cover of Vogue some years back. Yes. Oprah. Yes, that Oprah. Oprah. Yes. Holier-than-thou, beatified, sainted Oprah.

So, anyhow, the Rodarte girls are a bit chubby. I'd say voluptuous, but that would make them sound sexier than they are. So let's just stick with chubby. Why are they chubby? They sew lots of details on their sometimes kooky, sometimes beautiful dresses by hand. A lot of details. They're inside. A lot. They eat a lot of candy. They live in southern California. They drive everywhere and they don't get lots of exercise.

But now they're thinner, and they had to chronicle their "getting healther"/losing weight for Vogue. By their account, it sounded pretty miserable. Daily visits to a trainer, delivered meals (that part didn't sound so bad). And no candy.

Isn't Anna Wintour outrageous! She's great. She thinks people are too fat and she makes them diet.

Tom Ford in L.A.


Tom Ford is just impeccable. I love him.

Never much cared for his minimalist Gucci collections probably because I am not much into minimalism. I have too much untameable hair for minimalism. Though I very much respect how he turned that wrinkled, fusty Italian fashion house into something fabulous in the 90s.

LaineyGossip.com's been on a mini Tom Ford kick as of late. Here he is, snapped on a plane.

She says:

"While everyone else travels for comfort, Tom Ford gets on a plane in a 3 piece suit.

Do you love it, or do you LOVE it? "

Yes, I love it. Look at his shoes. Look at his pocket square. I love pocket squares. It's very hubba.

She also says some other hilarious, lascivious things, things that I can't repeat because unlike her Chinese mom, my Chinese mom/censor actually reads my blog (Hi Mom! Stop reading my blog now, ok?!)

You'll just have to read her post to see what she says.

Lainey that is. Not my mom.
