In or Out: Sarah Jessica Parker (again)

Yeah, yeah. We're talking about her too much. All we have to say to that is we're gay, the Sex and the City movie is opening and she always wears something worth discussing. Deal.

Here's the fictional Miss Bradshaw wearing a custom-made Versace at the Berlin premiere of SATC:









We think she looks fabulous. Lorenzo has an issue with the fit on the bust and the way it's giving her armpit vaginas, but aside from that she looks pretty close to flawless from where we're sitting. Beautiful color on the dress, fabulous shoes and a lovely 'do.

Definitely IN.

More pictures to help you decide, darlings! Kim honey, fire your apparently very tacky gays. Kristin, find a gay born after the Truman administration to dress you. Cynthia, keep loving the ladies, because you've never looked so good.

Click, bitches!

The Devil Wears Tooty

Oh good lord, kittens. We may just have stumbled upon our next reality television addiction.



Stylista
WEDNESDAY 9:00-10:00 P.M.

"If "The Devil Wears Prada" were a reality show, it would be STYLISTA. Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts vie for a much-coveted editorial job with Elle magazine. They work as assistants to Elle's Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey, a demanding but well-respected fashion icon. The competitors will carry out an assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment in each episode. Each week, in consultation with Elle's Creative Director, Joe Zee, Anne fires one person, until the last assistant standing gets "promoted" to the coveted real-life job opportunity. The grand prize includes a paid editorial position at Elle magazine, a paid lease on a great apartment in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year, valued at $100,000. STYLISTA is from 10 by 10 Entertainment, Inc. and Bankable Incorporated in association with Magic Molehill Productions, Inc. and Warner Horizon Television Inc. with executive producers Tyra Banks, Ken Mok, Eli Holzman, Desiree Gruber and Jane Cha."

Yes, that really is Anne Slowey airbrushed to within an inch of her life in that promo pic. Judging by the clips from the show, she...uh, changed her look a bit since her early days of tooty and hairballs on Project Runway:



Now, we'll grant you, this doesn't look like it's ever going to replace Project Runway in our hearts as THE fashion reality show, but there's a thrilling sort of trainwreck vibe we get off of these clips as Anne tries desperately to channel Meryl Streep and scare the shit out of her new slaves assistants.



"Time's up. Trays down. Anne's here." How can you not love that a little bit?

Checking in with Baby

We haven't heard from Jillian in a while, so we dropped her a line and asked her to fill us in on her doings. Unsurprisingly, her doings are plentiful (and that sounded a little dirty).

"Hi guys,

My business partner Lewaa and I opened a corporation together, Jillian Lewis Inc. , back in November while I was working on my Project Runway collection. By March we had our first collection completed, a mini fall line. We spent the entire months of March and April dragging heavy garment bags to buyer offices. We had great success for our first season, though it was a long and difficult journey to get there. Let me also mention that starting a business during what is being called a recession was a bit discouraging at first, though we have had several trunk shows in Long Island that were so incredibly successful. I guess it proves that if you have special pieces that are desirable, even a recession can’t stop success in the fashion world. Lewaa and I worked together at Searle. Now, Lewaa and I live and work together, are newly engaged and we will be selling our line at the Searle stores among several other boutiques to be delivered at the end of July. We will be having a trunk show in September at the 60th/Madison Ave. location...I will keep you posted on an exact date. Now that our fall line is in the production status, I am working on a more extensive spring line and have private client orders lined up until September. I will be designing dance costumes for Works & Process at The Guggenheim Museum, performance September 21st and 22nd.

I will have some illustrations on display at Gen Art’s Styles 08 event for Tone Skin Care [TLo note: Five finalists who best interpret the theme "radiance" through sketches or storyboards will be featured at the Styles show on May 19th in competition for the Tone Fashion Vision Award. The winner will be awarded $10,000 to put toward their business. Jillian and Allison Kelly from S3 are finalists. Project Runway reprezent, yo!]

and of course I designed 3 dress options for Newsday’s Project Prom. [TLo Note: See below].

We have a few other deals on the horizon that we are not yet ready to announce but there is more excitement to come . Hope that is enough my friends. Again, thanks so much for your interest and support. Hope you are both happy and well. -Jillian"

Here are the sketches and video for Jillian's Project Prom entry.







Vote: Pick Amanda's prom dress!

In or Out: Sarah Jessica Parker

Well, everyone else will be talking about this today so god forbid we neglect to share our opinions.

Here's SJP doing double duty as both star and table setting at the Sex and the City premiere in London this week:


Dress and shoes by Alexander McQueen and headpiece by Philip Treacy.






Look, we get it. That was definitely an attention-getting outfit and hey, mission accomplished. As we said, everyone is sure to be talking about this look today - and for the rest of the week for that matter. Besides, she's basically wearing a Carrie Bradshaw costume. Good P.R., we say.

Still, we can't help thinking she could've sold it a bit better. The hair looks pretty bad, and as much as we like the shoes:

...they didn't do much for her outfit, really.

At the after-party she de-birdsnested:

And it almost looks like she's wearing a completely different outfit. A somewhat plain one in a color that does her no favors.

We get the Philip Treacy hat, but we didn't think the look came together as well as it should have, not to mention it was a bit much for a film premiere. We give her props for going there, but she just didn't pull it off.
