10 Mind-Blowing Looks from Commes Des Garcons F/W 2017

Free-form blobs made of felt scraps, tinfoil, dust bunnies, and butcher paper took center stage at Commes Des Garcons. WHAT on earth is going on in designer Rei Kawakubo‘s head?

Explains Vogue:

To enter as a spectator is to be certain only that you’re going to be seeing her enacting something that is post-fashion—never about catching trends or flogging garments. Kawakubo disables the usual instruments by which we fash-judge. It’s anxiety-making and thrilling. You have to feel something—even if it’s that you are a blundering idiot, not understanding.

This is what happened for Fall 2017—the last collection that will make it into the Comme des Garçons exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in May. A pair of women walked out, encased in large armless forms with bulbously sculptural curves made out of white wadding. First impression: They were wonkily exaggerated dress forms of the stock studio kind every designer drapes fabric on. Then came the stream of secondaries: the Venus de Milo, the Venus of Willendorf, snow women, women haplessly trapped in an outsize parody of the absurdity of female form.

One can overthink at a Comme des Garçons show. Truth be told, the mood never portended an ominous end-of-days scenario. The shapes that walked on next were bubbles made from synthetic silver insulation materials suggesting—perhaps—space-age travel, and after that, a giant white trench coat, the size of a small planet.

In the end, Kawakubo issued few words beyond the title of the collection, “The Future of Silhouette.” That seemed to confirm that she had indeed been meditating on the nature of fashion itself, its processes, and where it might go next. Few are the designers big enough to challenge the audience to think and feel like Kawakubo does.

Brilliant. I would so rock any one of these.

The Ever-Iconic Amanda Lepore Has an Inspiring New Autobiography Out Next Month!

Amanda Lepore, the trans icon often referred to as having “the most expensive body on Earth,” has an autobiography coming to a bookstore near you!

Doll Parts from Regan Arts, written with Thomas Flannery Jr., will be released in April, and covers Amanda’s boyhood in New Jersey with a paranoid schizophrenic mother, her early struggles in the city working as a dominatrix, and her performances at the Limelight for Michael Alig.

Via Page Six:

Amanda recounts the nitty-gritty details of going to Mexico to have her two bottom ribs cracked and moved in order to embellish her hourglass figure — one of dozens of transformative operations that have cost Lepore more than a million dollars.

Says Amada (in the Amazon description):

“If you happen to be young and transgender, then you’re used to people being hateful toward you when all you want to do is exist. Through all the insanity in my life, there was only one thing I could control: myself. On the outside, obviously, but on the inside, too. I focused on not letting other people’s opinions have any effect on me whatsoever, and that’s how I’ve lived my life ever since.” —Amanda Lepore

And from the book’s back jacket:

“Spend an evening getting intimate with Amanda Lepore, the internationally renowned walking work of art and New York City’s reigning queen of nightlife for three decades.

“Paving the way for today’s trans revolution, Amanda is one of the world’s most famous transsexuals. In this poignant and revealing memoir, Amanda takes off the makeup, peels back the silicone, and reveals to the world the woman she truly is, all with a sense of divine certainty, humor, and charm.

“One of the most famous transsexuals and an effervescent fixture on the New York scene, Amanda Lepore has been at the cutting edge of culture since the Club Kid era, breaking and remaking the rules for music, marketing, and gender. Her constantly changing face has been used to promote Heatherette, M.A.C., Swatch, Smart Car, Perrier, Pop Water, and Sergio K, among many others. Lepore has worked with some the most renowned photographers and creatives in the world, including Terry Richardson and Pierre et Gilles.”

Omgomgomg, I CANNOT WAIT. Preorder your copy here!

“I hate everyone but Amanda Lepore.” —Miley Cyrus

“Amanda is pure heaven on earth, a dream come true. I adore her!” —Francois Nars

“Amanda is truly a living work of art. I’ve never witnessed such devotion to the art of high glamour. In my book, she is a glambassador of the very highest order, a true fascinatrix!” —Dita Von Teese

“As an Icon, Amanda is one of a kind because of her unique and singular look in the art of fashion. She has established herself as the most original and glamorous image in the world of transgender.” —Patricia Field

“Amanda Lepore is a self-creation that governs her own splendid reality.” —Steven Klein, photographer

Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life was a massive success! In a year dubbed “a trash fire,” our favorite mother-daughter revival on everybody’s favorite streaming service Netflix was the highlight for some, in an otherwise, well, “trash fire” of a year. Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos stated earlier today that they are in preliminary talks about a second season.

Check it out:

“We hope [it happens],” he said. “We obviously loved the success of the show [and] fans loved how well it was done; it delivered what they hoped. The worst thing is to wait a couple of years for your favorite show to come back and for it to disappoint you, but [series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and exec producer Dan Palladino] sure delivered and people were really excited about more. And we have been talking to them about the possibility of that.’

We sure hope so because those final four words out of Rory’s mouth could spark an ENTIRE new spin-off series. Here’s to hoping!

David Letterman Has a Hilarious Nickname For ’45’

$
0

Since retiring from an impressive 33 year television career, David Letterman spoke exclusively with Vulture about life after Late Night and how he really feels about Trump. He even has a nickname for ’45’: “Trumpy.”

Check out what he had to say:

On early-Trump interactions:

As someone who interviewed Trump dozens of times, how did your estimation of him change over the years? The first time he came on Late Night, which I think was in ’87, there’s deference on your part to the idea that he might know something about the economy.
He was a mogul, for God’s sake.

By 2012, you’re making fun of his hair apparatus and explaining to him that his ties were being made in China.
I always regarded him as, if you’re going to have New York City, you gotta have a Donald Trump. He was a joke of a wealthy guy. We didn’t take him seriously. He’d sit down, and I would just start making fun of him. He never had any retort. He was big and doughy, and you could beat him up. He seemed to have a good time, and the audience loved it, and that was Donald Trump. Beyond that, I remember a friend in the PR business told me that he knew for a fact — this was three or four presidential campaigns ago — that Donald Trump would never run for president; he was just monkeying around for the publicity. So I assumed that was the story and now it turns out he’s the president. Now, who owns New York?

On how comedy will save us from Trump:

How? Is comedy useful for that?
Comedy’s one of the ways that we can protect ourselves. Alec Baldwin deserves a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Sadly, he’s not going to get it from this president.

Can you explain that a bit more? How does satire protect us from Donald Trump?
The man has such thin skin that if you keep pressure on him — I remember there was a

Actually, it was the other way around. In a 2007 playoff game, a swarm of midges from Lake Erie caused Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain to blow the game with a few wild pitches.

baseball game in Cleveland, and a swarm of flies came on the field and the batters were doing this [mimes swatting at flies] while the pitcher was throwing 100 miles an hour. Well, that’s Alec Baldwin and Saturday Night Live. It’s distracting the batter. Eventually Trump’s going to take a fastball off the sternum and have to leave the game.

There’s this idea that reducing Trump to a punchline could make him seem harmless or helps to normalize him. Is there any validity to that argument?
I guess it’s a possibility. On the other hand, Donald Trump can be Donald Trump, but if he doesn’t help the people that need help, then he’s just a jerk. That press conference that he held berating the news media? I mean, how do you build a dictatorship? First, you undermine the press: “The only truth you’re going to hear is from me.” And he hires the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Steve Bannon, to be his little buddy. Bannon looks like a guy who goes to lunch, gets drunk, and comes back to the office: “Steve, could you have just one drink?” “Fuck you.” How is a white supremacist the chief adviser to our president? Did anybody look that up? I don’t know. How’s this interview going? Do you think you’re talking to a normal person here? Don’t I seem like I’m full of something?

On Pence:

Do you feel any better about your fellow Indianan Mike Pence?
He only got elected because he looks like the chair-throwing, longtime Indiana Hoosiers men’s basketball coach. Bobby Knight. Jeez, Pence scared the hell out of me. There was a therapy …

Conversion therapy. There’s debate about whether or not 

In 2000, Pence’s congressional campaign website stated that resources should be directed toward institutions that “provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.” In 2016, Pence’s spokesman told the Times that the statement was not referring to the “pray the gay away” psychotherapy known as “conversion therapy.”

Pence actually supported it.
Yes, conversion therapy. That’s when I just thought, Oh God, really, Indiana? I don’t care if you’re a fundamentalist Christian — even they have gay relatives. They can’t be saying homosexuality is a sin. It’s horseshit. Then

In February, the Trump administration reversed the Obama administration’s directive that directed schools to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms that correspond to their gender identity.

this transgender issue that just happened, I just think, Are you kidding me? Look, you’re a human, I’m a human. We’re breathing the same air. We have the same problems. We’re trying to get through our day. Who the fuck are you to throw a log in the road of somebody who has a different set of difficulties in life?

On calling 45 “Trumpy”:

You mentioned Fallon and viral videos. Whether it’s Jimmy Kimmel having celebrities read mean tweets about themselves or James Corden and carpool karaoke, part of the job now of a late-night host is to try to generate bits that’ll get shared online. When you used to do bits, even the “Top Ten” list, it always seemed like you were suffering through them. How do you feel about late-night shows becoming vehicles for social media?
I knew it was happening, and I recognized that it was a good idea, but I didn’t know how to do it. When people around me would come up with ideas, I felt like, This is exploitation beyond the pale. We’re just going to produce some little precious moment here and put it up on the internet? But nobody wants to sit through an eight-minute interview with fill-in-the-blank. So these things are useful. But the idea of Twitter: Trumpy — my son, Harry, and I call him “Trumpy” — has really got something with it. Rather than a laughable expression of ego run amok, it could be a useful tool. If we get a president sometime soon who does not have a mental disorder, Twitter will be useful. So — I’m lonely, I can’t stop talking.

Yelp Will Now Point You In the Direction of the Nearest Gender Neutral Bathroom

Yelp is helping to fight the good fight against the transphobic White House by pointing their users towards the nearest ‘locking, single-stall bathroom’ that is ‘accessible to persons of any gender’.

Yelp’s Head of Diversity and Inclusion Rachel Williams told Mashable:

This is one of the [first] times we’ve integrated any type of public policy or social stance into our products. Conversations started to happen internally about how uncomfortable people are with what’s going on in the world today in our country with people’s civil liberties and rights. Our product team wanted to help out and get involved.

You’ll be able to search for businesses that have gender neutral restrooms on Yelp the same way you’re able to search for businesses that are wheelchair accessible, have parking, or accept credit cards.

Yelp announced this new feature in support of Gavin Grimm, who sued his high school in Arizona for not allowing him to use the men’s restroom.

Rachel Williams said:

At Yelp we thrive on inclusion and acceptance, and we hope that our support for Gavin’s case and the addition of this new business attribute will help our friends in the LGBTQQIA community.

Butch is Beautiful: Esther Godoy Tackles Butch Visibility

$

Last year Esther Godoy created an anthology of essay’s stories and photographs titled “Butch Is Not A Dirty Word“, where contributors tackled the discrimination of the butch identity. The second issue is slated to release March 17th and this issue is a “celebration of butch and masculine-of-center identity and culture among queer women”.

“There are endless stories to be told under the LGBTQIA umbrella, each just as important as each other,” Godoy told The Huffington Post. “I felt that the story of how I personally identify wasn’t being told, and I felt incredibly lonely in that ― in exploring this further, I realized that I wasn’t the only one. It’s so important to have visibility for all kinds of identities and presentations, you can’t be what you can’t see, and it can be a painful and damaging place to exist when you feel like you are the only one.”

Check out a selection of images from “Butch Is Not A Dirty Word” below, as well as an interview with Godoy.

The Huffington Post: Tell us a bit about the genesis of Butch Is Not A Dirty Word. What makes this issue different from the first?

Esther Godoy: BINADW was never supposed to go past the first issue, but it had such a huge response from both the queer and wider community that we really saw there was a need for further representation of these people. With issue two we wanted to move beyond the surface level dialogue, that butches still exist and that there are people out there who appreciate them. We wanted to dive deeper, so we decided to explore how the butch experience intersects with the “family” experience. This gave us a chance to make visible and to share the stories of a broader variety of people, touching on more complex issues.

There is such a weighted stereotype that comes with the “butch” label. This stereotype often paints a picture of loneliness, exclusion, grotesque physically ― generally of a person who is to be mocked, feared or disliked. More often than not there is this initial push back on queer masculinity by biological family, most of which can be attributed to society’s prejudice. It is understandable why parents might not want their kids to be queer or masculine of center, they don’t want them to have hard life, and every reference to butchness around them points to that being a very likely possibility. Our mission with BINADW is to change that. Throughout issue two, we aim to portray butch people more authentically than this stereotype allows, showing them existing happily and engaging in meaningful connections with those around them.

What kinds of things can people expect form this issue?

A gorgeous set of images thanks to our photographers Georgia Smedley, River Grace, Elliott Oakes and Jai Florez and a series of essays written from an array of different butch identifying folk’s perspectives. Exploring how their butchness intersects with the experiences they’ve had with both biological and chosen families.

What do you want people to take away from this issue?

There is nothing to be feared in butch! Butch people are beautiful, they exist happily, they have jobs, families, friends, they contribute to society in the same capacity as everybody else. It is our hope, that with time, as a society, we’ll move beyond merely accepting queer masculinity in children and move forward into celebrating it, encouraging our young people to be the most authentic versions of themselves they can be. We want to provide a more positive representation of what generations of bigotry and fear have shaped as one of the most negative ways to exist.

Head here for more information about the second edition of “Butch Is Not A Dirty Word.”  (via Huffington Post)

My gender expression is super fluid, I can go from kawaii catholic school girl to butch street style any day. I’ve always been aware of how I’m treated differently depending on that “days expression”. The more femme I look, the more favors are done for me, and the greater amount of hellos are said to me. When I tend to rock my masculine outfits I’m usually ignored or treated with harsher vibes. I think it’s important to recognize that gender expression does not constitute binary traits. I am the same person in a skirt or pants, and I should be treated the same way. Catch up America.

Yesterday, SNL star Pete Davidson posted on Instagram:

Just wanted to let you guys know I’m okay. I know I’ve kinda been missing, on social media and on the show. I quit drugs and am happy and sober for the first time in 8 years. It wasn’t easy, but I got a great girl, great friends and I consider myself a lucky man. I’ll always be here for you guys, I promise. Remember to never give up hope because sometimes that’s all we got. We are a family and I appreciate all your love and support. It’s nice to be back in action.

Davidson (whose firefighter father died in 9/11) is dating Cazzie David (the daughter of Larry David)(see below).

From Jezebel:

Davidson has been open about his use of marijuana to treat the symptoms of Crohn’s disease, which he was diagnosed with in his late teens. In an interview with High Times in 2016, Davidson discussed how the drug makes it possible for him to function, saying, “I wouldn’t be able to perform on SNL if I couldn’t smoke weed!”

Kind of suspect this was Lorne Michaels’-mandated, but wishing him all the best. SNL isn’t the same without him! (Photo: Pacific Coast News)

We’re less than TWO months away from RuPaul’s DragCon 2017, hunties! If you’re a returning DragConner or just a shopping aficionado to boot, you’re NOT gonna wanna miss out on the opportunity to familiarize yourself with all our spectacular exhibitors before April 29th and 30th. You saw our love for 3rd Class ClothingChernobyl Show, Diva Dreadsand today’s feature is Rockstar Wigs!

Check it out:

From their website: “My name is John Reger, co-founder of RockStar Wigs, along with my brother Charles. My brother is head of design and we work closely with our entire team to provide the highest quality products in our industry. All of our wigs are designed by us, handmade and ship out from our Houston, TX office. We focus on exceptional customer service. We cherish our team and consider them all to be part of our family. We are a minority owned family business in Houston, TX.”

Here’s just a few of the fierce styles you can snag at DragCon:

Can’t wait til DragCon to stock up?! You can always check their trusty FAQ section:

Why are your prices so low?

We are factory direct! Everything is designed by us, and we manufacture everything to the highest standards. We buy all of our raw materials and fibers in bulk. They are of the highest quality in order to provide the best wigs in the world!!

What are your hours of operation?
Our hours of operation are M-F 9am-5pm CST. The best way to contact us is through this site or by email. You may also call us if you prefer. 

Do you ship on Saturdays?
No, we are closed on the weekends. If there is a “wig emergency” and you need something Expressed over the weekend, leave a note at checkout and or email us. We will try our best to get it out to you on Saturday for a Monday delivery (USA). You can also place a call for special delivery Mon-Fri 9am-5Pm CST 281-506-7180 and we will be happy to help you.

Do you combine shipping on International orders?
Remember all international orders over $99 USD, the shipping is FREE! We will try to combine wigs into one Flat Rate Envelope when possible. As a general rule, we do not combine wigs with detachable ponytails since the ponytails are bulky and act pretty much as a second wig. When we combine the wigs, we might remove one of the cardboard sides to create space. PLEASE NOTE: Our shopping cart system has no way to determine combined shipping, so please pay separate shipping for each item and leave a note to us that you want it combined. We will promptly refund the additional shipping charge(s) to you when we print out the label. If you want priority or express shipping extra charges will need to be paid at time of checkout since we use ground shipping on all orders.

How soon will it ship from the time order is placed?
We ship the same day if ordered by 12 noon Central Standard Time from Houston, TX.

What kind of fibers do you use in your wigs? Is it safe to heat style my wig?
We use a high temperature fiber that can be heated up to 180*F/82*C – the lowest setting on most hair tools. Our wigs have much thought and thorough testing put into each design and do not require a style overhaul like general cosplay wigs

We have introduced a new Korean fiber that we toured all over S. Korea to find. We bought it in huge bulk to keep the prices low. The first collections to implement it are Classic Straight Mix, Lady Amara and Sweetheart. The color mixes are limited to mostly natural tones and can be heated to a higher temperature of 428*F/220*C (Be sure to spot test it before applying to wig as some thermometers are not always accurate). PLEASE NOTE: Super bright colors and many pastel colors will not be available in this new fiber.

What is the difference between “blend” and “mix” in your wig descriptions?
In the real world, the words are interchangeable for the most part, but in the wig world a “blend” is when two colors are used in a design with each color still distinguishable from the other.

Local inhabitants of the Divagate Islands in the Philippines were understandably freaked out when the carcass of a giant, hairy MONSTER washed ashore.

According to National Geographic, the other-wordly creature measured 20 feet long and weighed more than 4,000 pounds. It’s shaggy white hair caused some to speculate that it was a “half-whale, half-polar bear” mutant hybrid.

But at least one expert think she’s got it figured out.

“It’s definitely a very decomposed sea creature in the later stages of decomposition,” Lucy Babey, head of science and conservation for whale and dolphin protection group ORCA, told the BBC.

Similarly, a team of researchers from the municipal office of Cagiano believe the remains are from a whale that had been dead for two weeks. Its “hair” is likely from decomposed muscle fibers, according to the National Geographic.

Babey seems to think the animal is a whale, too.

“The carcass is about six meters long, but that’s obviously not the whole carcass ― there’s no tail so it would have been bigger than that,” Babey added. “That would suggest that it was probably a whale.”

Locals believe that the creature washed on shore as a result of a 6.7 magnitude earthquake that hit the Philippines on Feb. 10.

Charmingly grey-haired fan favorite Max from season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race hasn’t let the end of the competition stop his drive. Self described as a “Tarantino bitch in the making”, Max has an anticipated web series titled Agent Max dropping soon.

Created in collaboration with Minneapolis-based director John Mark, the three-part project aims to subvert masculine casting norms in mainstream cinema by introducing a rare, queer Bond-like protagonist.

“The role of an action star, the fight choreography, auto-drifting, athleticism and tough mental constitution, for whatever reason, appear to be an overtly masculine trade,” John Mark said. “However, if you live in the real world, you’ll meet many a gay man who is fully capable of the violence, tenacity and drive it takes to play a hero vigilante.”

The director said Malanaphy first proposed the concept to him in August 2016, looking for an on-screen opportunity to be “an agent of justice, and of creation.” Together, they began embarking on 12-hour shoot days, where the RuPaul alumnus was filmed kicking ass in full mug to introduce a new kind of hero. “You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and hopefully, ask for more,” John Mark said of the series.

The first episode of Agent Max will stream online Saturday, March 11 on YouTube. Watch the official trailer, below.
