New threat to our way of life: giant pythons

Forget global warming. Forget the war in Iraq. Forget the weekend exploits of Britney and her paparazzo love toy. There's a more important horror to hit this nation and we must - I repeat, we must - devise a defense strategy immediately. Giant python snakes have organized a cross-country, sssight-ssseeing road trip that started in Florida and will end in San Francisco by August 2020. This means one thing and one thing only: traffic's gonna be a b*tch. Ssseriously. For more on the story, read here.

Heartless Bastards Punk a Chimp

GiggleSugar — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 14:00:00 PDT

Have we run out of people to punk?! All this chimp wants is a decent meal and that's exactly what he gets, served up with a little snake on the side. The snake's a fake, but our chimp's reaction is real. Who has the heart to punk a chimp- and a chimp dressed as Old MacDonald, no less? This is so uncalled for. (But Old McScaredy gets his brave on, thankfully!)

I see there are some animal loving fashionistas out there! At least, that's what your Fab Finds this week say to me. And snakes! You like snakes! (Maybe not real snakes, but in the jewelry form, anyway). The first time I showed you all snakes, it wasn't received very well - but you all have proven otherwise this time!

The Fab Finder of the week is cocca, who found a fabulous snake-loving snakeskin cuff! Every week the Fab Finder I announce Monday morning will receive either a TeamSugar or FabSugar baby tee shirt. I thoroughly enjoy perusing your Fab Finds every week, so dare to be a Fab Finding trendsetter and you just might win a Sugar tee!

Ssssslithering Snake Massage, Anyone?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 08:00:00 PDT

What's not to love about a massage? Well, if it's this kind of massage, how about the slimy snake involved? That's right, the new way to relax those muscles is to let a snake do all the work. They call this a thing of "beauty," but I'm thinking that me getting strangled to death while in the grip of a snake's choke hold ain't all that charming-- unless, of course, the snake said he loved me and had that oh so special touch. But what's your take?

WTF?!

Hmmm...what's that look on her face?

BCBG Runway Fall 2012

Noria Morales — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:15:43 PST

An architectural aesthetic, specifically Bauhaus style, rules for BCBG's Fall 2012 collection. Structure manifested itself via colorblocking, but it was done on fluid silk chiffon shift dresses, so the effect was a pretty blend of strong forms on flowy silhouettes. The geometric shapes created by bold color combos - black and orange, merlot and blush - were intensified with textural plays like sheer insets and clever pleating that made dresses look magically fluid and sharp at the same time. To counter the collection's emphasis on lightweight materials like silk and chiffon, it also sent cozy outerwear down the runway - we have mixed emotions on the return of gorilla-armed coats, but the multicolor fur vests and canvas and leather trenches were artful choices for next season. The minimalist approach to geometric forms and bold color combinations, together with the flowy silhouettes, make for clothes that are ideal to wear to a gallery opening.

Trends: Colorblocking, fur, architectural detail, Bauhaus.
Colors: Merlot, blush, camel, cream, navy, coral, teal.
Key Piece: The canvas and leather trench coat; the super-cool pleated dresses with tulle inserts.
Accessories: Open-toe ankle-strap sandals, bags with contrasting textures like snake and suede.
Who Would Wear It: Erin Wasson was in the front row, but the structured, urbane collection seems more suited to Naomi Watts or Thandie Newton.

Lanvin's Spring 2012 Video Ad Features Snakes at a Party

Noria Morales — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:55:48 PST

Lanvin created a Garden-of-Eden-inspired dinner party to feature their Spring 2012 collection, set to the beat of 18-year-old music artist Maxine Ashley's latest single, "Cookieman." The video, shot by Steven Meisel, has a similar energy and quirkiness as their Fall 2011 video, which featured Raquel Zimmermann and Karen Elson dancing in a house. That video went viral and spawned a fun fashion week version. This time, it's rising star model Aymeline Valade who looks ultra glamorous while draped in Lanvin's gorgeous dresses, as well as snakes - both real and in jeweled form. What do you think of the new ad? Addicting to watch or not as good as the last one?
