"How Many Models Does It Take To Screw In A Lightbulb?"

Dave Hill is a legitimate funnyman who got famous on the internet with his Black Metal Dialogues, and continues to float around New York being funny in various funny places. The latest of those places: Fashion Week. Dave digs for the answers to questions like, "What does Anna Wintour put behind her ears to be more attractive?" and "Have you heard of that new designer Trig Palin?" The answers will shock and amaze you. This is the best fashion show-related comedy (yes, it's an easy target) since Ali G's Bruno. Japery!: More »

"Then I Said, 'No ... Large Hadron Collider!'"

I hate to bite on Richard's style yet again, but doesn't this picture just sort of cry out for an "Open Caption"? Anyway, I'm bad at this stuff, but you kids should be able to figure something out. More »

Where Did You Spend Your Fashion Week?

Well, you are a plebe, so you obviously didn't spend it with Bill Cunningham. The New York Times' roving fashion photog doesn't waste his precious film on just anyone with a cute tank top and those adorable sandals you got on sale. The guy is hanging with Eva Mendes, for Pete's sake! Mayor Mike! People named Rockefeller! Peggy Freakin' Noonan!! Maybe next Fashion Week, you'll get into one of these beautiful people parties, but let's be honest—you're nothing but a pair of shoes to this guy.

Nina Garcia's Influence at Marie Claire To Be Determined

The pickup artist Mystery defined the "sniper neg" as an under-the-radar insult or backhanded compliment. Paging Nina Garcia! Her new boss, Marie Claire editor Joanna Coles, just sniper-negged her to Fashion Week Daily. Well, it's probably just an example of British no-nonsense bluntness, as opposed to the American tradition of blowing smoke up someone's ass (so to speak). What has Nina's presence done for the magazine? the Daily asked. "It's not clear what it's done so far, other than give us a ridiculous amount of attention..." Hey-o! More »

Y'all were mostly unsure, but one person suggested Mr. John Mayer. Today we have a star who loves threesomes and has an "ample tackle," and a singer/actress who is secretly in rehab. More »

Painting Of Anna Wintour Doubles As Anna Wintour Slam Book

One hundred or so people finally got to give notorious Vogue editor Anna Wintour a piece of their mind at Fashion Week. Well, via a painting at least. An artist named Geoffrey Raymond (who aims to become "the pre-eminent American portrait painter of the 21st century") painted what he calls "The Annotated Anna" and set it up at Bryant Park this week with a request for people to write a little note to the Devil Wears Prada inspiration. Oh, and you can buy it! (Hear that Anna?) Starting bid on eBay is $3,500. The artist tells us more about his work after the jump. More »
