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.

Tutu, or not tutu?

When it comes to romance, I’ve never been particularly picky. Ask any of my friends and they’ll tell you—give me a deaf guy in JNCO’s with a dent in his face and I’m on bended knee proposing. Why is it that I always seem to seek out charity cases, fixer-uppers, sloppy jalopies and the like? I have a theory that, as many a stylish person, I have an unspoken yet completely obvious desire to be the Henry Higgins to some tragic homo’s Eliza Doolittle.

This is why I sympathize with Kobe Bryant. Yes, the man may willingly wear a yellow and purple uniform on a regular basis, but when he’s not working, his attire is usually comprised of sharp designer suits that cost more than my car. They say that, when you’ve been with someone long enough, you start to dress alike. After seeing a photo of Kobe’s wife Vanessa wearing a Laker purple tutu earlier this week at a game in L.A.—which she defended by shouting expletives at a reporter who criticized what she was wearing earlier that night—I hope for his sake that he isn’t the one under the influence. While I do think his wife Vanessa could stand to take a cue from her husband, still, you gotta love a girl who’s willing to vindicate her fashion sense to the bitter, vicious end.

About Blogger

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).
