The Devil Walks Prada

GiggleSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 16:17:16 -0700

Well, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada. Sacha Baron Cohen is up to some new tricks. Instead of just punking Spring Break yahoos in Miami, he's going after Milan Fashion Week designers! Somehow, he got backstage access to the other Prada show in Milan and walked the runway until startled (and I imagine, pissed off) fashionistas gave him a well-heeled boot. All this for his upcoming movie Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America For the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male. And honestly - I can't wait! Go Bruno! (To read more about his antics at Milan's Fashion Week, click here.)

The Devil Wears Prada - Andy's Brown Bag

Dear Sugar
I just went to see the Devil Wears Prada and I have to know what Anne Hathaway's brown leather distressed handbag is. Please let me know if you can find it. Andy Admirer

Dear Andy Admirer
Wow, looks like you aren't the only one who's interested in this item. The bag is made by La Rue and you can buy it on Amazon.com's specialty boutique website for the movie. Apparently there's already a waiting list - even for the knock off. Look at both ways that you can wear it.

"The clothes are expected to set off a frenzy of got-to-have shopping. Amazon.com has opened a Web boutique featuring reproductions of looks from the film. A copy of a distressed leather handbag carried by Hathaway sold out at $79.95 within hours. The site has a waiting list, and a new shipment is expected around Aug. 1."

Oh Snap! Paris Hilton's Dogs Have a Really Ruff Life

Just when you thought you were done envying Paris Hilton's jet-setting, getting-paid-to-party ways, wait until you see how her pooches Tinkerbell, Marilyn Monroe, Prince Baby Bear, Harajuku, Dolce, and Prada live. Life & Style was invited to see their mini-mansion in Beverly Hills. (Yes, they have their own home.) It's a two-story affair complete with air conditioning, closets, and a crystal chandelier. Cost? Oh, just $325,000. (Hear that sound? It's my palm smacking my forehead in disbelief.)

Fancy First Lady Steals Sarkozy's Mideast Peace Talk Thunder?

LibertySugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:00:15 -0700

Though his visit ended amid panic, France's Nicolas Sarkozy's first presidential visit to Israel this week made quite an impression. Sarkozy called on the country to stop settlement in the occupied West Bank, saying Mideast peace depends on Israel dropping its refusal to surrender sovereignty over parts of Jerusalem claimed by the Palestinians. As compensation, he assured Israel that it could count on France's support in halting Iran's nuclear program.

Sarkozy praised Israel's democracy and quoted the biblical passage in which God promises the Holy Land to the children of Israel, drawing a mixed review of applause and scowls (from the handful of Arab members). Speaking to parliament he said:

"There cannot be peace without an immediate and complete halt to settlement," he said. "There cannot be peace without recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of two states and the guarantee of free access to the holy places for all religions."

Sarkozy's address follows fluffy weekend coverage of his arrival by the country's newspapers that seemed more preoccupied with his Italian singer First Lady Carla Bruni than his agenda. According to the AP, the front pages of Monday's newspapers were filled with pictures of a smiling Carla "overshadowing her husband." For a preview of their coverage, read more.

The Haaretz daily, which is Israel's oldest daily newspaper, featured a front page close-up of Carla, taken as the couple arrived at Israel's international airport Sunday, with Sarkozy and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in the background.

Israel's largest daily, Yediot Ahronot, used the front page headline "Queen Carla" to tease a spread with a collage of her photos and a celebrity style-esque breakdown of her wardrobe - including the $2,500 Prada dress she wore upon arrival, a $1,200 purse and a $650 pair of sandals.

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Flippy

GiggleSugar — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 14:44:30 -0700

GiggleSugar megafan Flippy has the notable distinction of being both a former GiggleSugar Pet of the Week and now a reader of the week. If you'll recall, Flippy only recently learned how to read. Look out, because speaking tours aren't far behind. Flippy's one of the snarkiest felines out there, but what do you expect from a cat from New York City? Be sure to check out the image gallery at the end of the interview.

GS: What is your motto?
Flippy: “Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.” Either that or “Eat as much Pounce as possible as often as possible.”

GS: Where are you from?
Flippy: I’m not really sure. My childhood is a bit fuzzy. I remember wandering the city streets as a kitten, but then someone grabbed me and took me to some sort of holding cell. I was kept there for a few days and people would come to stare and fondle me. I tried to ignore them. Then some people came and took me to their trashy apartment. I have been kept inside ever since, though there have been some car rides and I believe a plane trip. I may have been taken over state lines. Still trying to figure it out.

GS: What do you do?
Flippy: Um, not too much. I sleep a lot. I look out the window. I like to play with string, and someone knitted me a mouse that never ceases to amuse. Periodically I get high. Then I eat. Then I sleep some more. I keep waiting for someone to tell me I need to do something more with my life, but no one ever does. I have been getting away with this for years. Chumps.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
Flippy: Dry and sarcastic. You can really never tell if I’m kidding or not. Some people think I am judging them. Who knows? Maybe I am.

GS: What's your favorite GiggleSugar post?
Flippy: Well, of course Happy Caturday is always fun. Though really, every day is Caturday. I am also of course a fan of the practical joke, so Meanest Prank Ever gets me every time. Except the giant rat thing still makes me twitch in my sleep sometimes

GS: Who is the cutest funny man and funny woman?
Flippy: Humans aren’t very cute. You people don’t even have any fur. It’s creepy. But at least Julia Louis-Dreyfus has a good head of hair. As for men, I guess I’m stuck with Bruce Vilanch as far as fur goes. Except he’s not funny.

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
Flippy: I like Arnold Ziffle. And I loves me some Margaret Cho.

GS: What's your favorite comedy of all time?
Flippy: Cat People, starring Nastassia Kinski. That was HILARIOUS.

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
Flippy: Possibly The Devil Wears Prada. With me as Meryl Streep. Either that or Pink Flamingos.

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
Flippy: I have been told I look like Chococat. But I don’t see it.

Thanks, Flippy!

Is Trademark Counterfeiting a Serious Crime?

LibertySugar — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 03:00:46 -0800

The Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement (OSE) seized $1 million of counterfeit Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Rolex and Coach goods Tuesday in New York City. Created in 2006, the OSE addresses quality of life issues such as lawless clubs, illegal conversions of apartment buildings into hotels, and trademark counterfeiting bazaars.

Tuesday's Chinatown raid came after a two-month investigation by OSE officials. Do you think counterfeited designer goods warrant the attention of a special unit?

DearSugar Fans Love Jennifer Aniston

DearSugar — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 05:48:22 -0700

Dear Sugar
I love the black button down, short sleeved shirt that Jennifer Aniston wore to The David Letterman Show in NYC this May. It looked so great on her and I'd like to buy it. Can you help me shop for Jen's top? Button Down Babs

Dear Button Down Babs
That top has a great fit to it. Structured and slimming, but at the same time stretchy and comfortable.

It's made by Prada and sells for $440. Unfortunately, you can not buy Prada's current line on the internet (weird) but you can contact one of their stores directly.

The number for their 5th Ave store in NYC is 212-307-9300. Request style # P4042.

Again, all I can say is that her bod is to die for. She looks amazing wearing the top here to the Letterman Show with those cute Alexander McQueen Shorts and Manolos.

Here she is again (what looks like the same day) in the top and a Roland Mouret pencil skirt with Roger Vivier Shoes. She's got a terrific stylist. Jen always manages to look glamorously casual.

Do Tell: Which Item in Your Closet Makes You Feel Sexy?

DearSugar — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 03:01:00 -0700

Do you feel instantly sexy when you slip into your skinny jeans? Does your saucy, siren-red dress make you walk like a vixen? Those lacy underwear? Do you feel like you're keeping a naughty secret? Many of us have that one piece of clothing or pair of shoes that makes us feel especially beautiful and comfortable with ourselves. I have a pair of Prada pumps that do the trick every time.

Do tell, what do you own that makes you feel downright desirable?
