Not only am I directing, producing and doing all the voices for a new live-action cat comedy, I’m also working with NASA on a new fuel cell for the next shuttle.

I don’t know whether she is joking about the cat comedy or the fuel cell.

Designers to Watch: Joanne Cordero Reyes — The Cut: New York Magazine’s Fashion Blog

This may be Joanne Cordero’s first time at Fashion Week under her own label, Vicente Villarin, but the designer is no novice. She cut her teeth at Reem Acra and J. Mendel, making eveningwear for celebs. And this season she’s showing at Bumble and bumble, home of the next big thing (Alexander Wang, Sari Gueron, and Bruce all showed there a year ago). Reyes’s training with red-carpet designers is readily apparent in the clean, long lines of her gowns. But Reyes adds her own edge to the usual feminine piece. Her pencil skirt is done up in faux-alligator for a tougher, sexier look. Her take on the little white dress involves tulle and a shorter-than-short hemline. And her outerwear borders on architectural, rivaling Jil Sander. She may have learned to dress celebs, but only the truly style savvy (read: not governed by a stylist) will slip into these clothes.

See the slideshow.

M: I recently read about her in last month’s issue of Elle, who devoted half a page to this up-and-coming designer. “Named after her grandfather, the Vicent Villarin brand represents Sophistication, Confidence, Elegance, Individuality and Modernity; women that want to feel pretty and elegant yet modern and sexy.” [via Asiance Magazine] I’m really liking her old-world/fantasy feminine designs. My favorites are the article’s mentioned faux-alligator skirt and the grey evening gown.

Labor Day weekend has been full of shopping! Book buying [ughhh], outlet shopping via San Marcos [Victoria's Secret $7.99 bras = OMG!], and online shopping [books and now Threadless shirts].

At the moment, I’m most excited about My First Threadless Order from their Back to School sale. Since my CC’s been taking a serious beating lately [including being accused of Fraud], I had to choose wisely. After some serious thinking (i.e. waiting for the initial “gottahavethisnow” reaction to subside), I chose:

The title could be a reference to Interpol’s first album, “Turn On The Bright Lights”. Check out the lyrics for Track 3, NYC.

Although I’m trying to stray away from buying shirts that have slogans, I liked the creative typography in the design, and the idea behind it.
To quote berrynoir from a post on this design:

It’s about everything the designer feels is good in life. The background is a composite illustration of everything he enjoys.

My favorite out of the bunch; makes me “LAWL” [---> Judy]. This reminds me of a personal experience earlier this year, when during a playground clean-up, Randy tried this exact thing and almost got stuck. Ah, good times, good times.

I thought I could swear off buying no more Coach bags to save up for some Louis, but that was before I tried on the Hamptons Large Leather Hobo. A great bag for Fall or anytime you need a big, slouchy bag; the Brass/Mahogany combo is so much richer and better-looking IRL. The pebbled leather is supple and smooth, the wide strap is comfortable, and it’s understated – a great everyday bag.

My boss was cracking up over some text on his computer screen, gleefully telling me how “someone translated the book of Genesis, from The Bible, into LOLCats!” He had to repeat that statement a couple of times for me to grasp what he was saying, but I still didn’t get it.

Back in my own cubicle, I googled “lolcats” and learned about their mysterious origin:
Behold, the History of LOLCats

The now infamous Happycat, piece de resistance of LOLCats

from the mothership of LOLCats, I Can Has Cheezburger.

Quite possibly my favorite is I Iz Catamari.

If you still need some convincing, read Michael Agger’s Why you cannot resist LOLCats.

Oh, and if you’re wondering how to properly “speak” LOLCats, here is a translator.

For the record, she didn't come up with the idea or write it; it is the brainchild of an Adam McKay and Chris Henchy.
