Carol Hannology
Hit it, CH!If you're new, this is the part of each season where we look at the output of each finalist to see if we can divine themes or weaknesses. First up is Alex's favorite designer, Carol Hannah Whitfield.There's a point we want to make when we wrap these ologies up, but we want to touch on it here because it's relevant to Carol Hannah's work. It's this: she has a somewhat weak vision as a designer. Can you sum up her aesthetic in a couple of words? We can't. That's not to say that there... Read Full Story
Controversy! (Spoilerish)
Look, we have to find SOMETHING to talk about, don't we?So, here's the deal. Irina shows Tim her silkscreened "Conney" Island t-shirts when he comes for his visit.Later, in a totally spontaneous and not at all staged scene, Tim calls her to tell her that:"I just learned from the producers and their attorney that the Coney Island images that you're using, those are trademarked [...] therefore, you don't have the right to incorporate them into your clothing collection [...] I want you to use it...

The ONE Burning Question from Last Night's Show
What was Nina wearing?Along with the several hundred comments that filled our inbox this morning, all bemoaning how boring last night's show was, we received a couple dozen asking us about Nina's striking top. Well, you can't say we don't deliver the goods:Requiem Spring 2009 CollectionModel: Samira BentoThis may have been one of the best things she ever wore on the show. We love it and we think she looked great in it. And in pure fashion editor style, she put her own twist on it, pairing it ... Read Full Story
We Smell Emmys All Around
Oh, Tim.The things you'll do for a paycheck.There was much frantic discussion at T Lo International Headquarters both last night and this morning, the upshot of which was "Um...what the hell are we going to write about?"In an episode where the height of drama was Carol Hannah puking in a hotel room, what the hell are we going to say about it? But for you kittens, we'll soldier on.We found ourselves wishing they'd spent more time on the cat.Blahblahblah...Tim critique. Who guessed the collecti... Read Full Story

Glee S1E9: Wheels
Rolling on a river, kittens.We're not gonna lie to you. Despite our endless cheering for this show, our viewing experience quite often is vocalized thus: "Wait, what?" "Why is she --?" "Didn't they just --?" "Who would do --?" And ends thus: "You know what? I'm just gonna go with it."Well, last night's episode was the first time we didn't have that reaction. Oh sure, they're still pushing the implausible baby daddy storyline, but this time the characters involved are all acting like, well, li... Read Full Story

Yay or Nay: Grannie Panties
Looks like it's time to air out the goods, ladies.Carine Roitfeld (Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Paris), Lady Gaga and Madonna have all succumbed to the allure of going out looking senile. Kudos to them for their bravery.Note: technically NOT grannie panties.As for the rest of the world, we can't really see this one ever catching on with the masses. In fact, we can't even see it catching on with celebrities outside the Madonna/Gaga sphere.Spring 2010 CollectionsAlexander Wang, Chanel, Christian Di... Read Full Story
