We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.

No love for Lohan's leggings

Lohan behold, Lindsay is at the front of a seemingly endless line of celebrities to recently catch the fashion design bug. The former actress blabbed to tabloid Life & Style, "I'm doing my own leggings line, but it's a secret!" In addition to explaining to Lohan that tights are not an acceptable substitute for pants, someone ought to expound upon the definition of a "secret."

I have a few questions; when did throwing on a pair of tights become the lower-body equivalent of wearing a hat on bad hair days? I know they're a product of the ‘80s fashion resurgence, but aren't they on their way out with headbands and male cleavage? Fame-induced taste dementia has—since the genesis of Hollywood—been something easily cured by wardrobe stylists. These days, however, it seems like every Hollywood starlet from A to Z list fancies herself a fashion icon—rejecting the wardrobe department and indulging her innate "sense of style" with a product launch and a marketing campaign.

You've come a long way, baby

I haven't seen them yet, but according to Lohan, "They'll have designs. Some of them will have prints, and some will have patterns." I guess it's nice to know that, even if you can't find depth or range in any of her performances, at least you'll be able to find it in her tights.

Once upon a hospital bed in Hollywood, Marcos Luevanos entered the world (fashionably late of course) and immediately ordered a martini as dry as his wit and as dirty as his diaper. Little has changed since then (although he no longer wears diapers), as he can often be found dispensing sarcastic musings and astute observations while strutting down the runway of life. Instead of sticking to a signature look, he prefers to dress in genres—ranging from "pirate grandma" to "retro-futuristic space camp vamp" to "Holly Golightly gone goth." His favorites include: Betsey Johnson (designer), Douglas Keeve's "Unzipped" (film on fashion), Linda Evangelista (supermodel), Patricia Field (stylist), and Andy Warhol (style icon).
