Let me tell ya why. So I'm down in P-town on the weekend before Halloween. And I see this sweet Blondie t-shirt in the window of Marc Jacobs' shop. And the proceeds go to charity and everything. And I like Blondie! So I go in, and the stick standing guard is like "may I help you, sir?" And I'm like "you don't happen to have the Blondie shirt in XL, do ya?" (I've got man boobs and like em' roomy). And she manages to stifle her guffaw, and is like "uh, no. We just have them in small and medium. We didn't even get larges in the shipment." She had the decency to keep it to herself that Marc Jacobs probably doesn't even know what XL is. And didn't he used to be fat? Gawd, all of us fashion conscious couch dwellers have to suffer because he found the treadmill? Eff you, Marc Jacobs! Here's some pics from the ACE Awards. No not for cable. They have awards for accessories now! Marc won Designer of the Year.
The man whose own latest accessory is dyed blue hair, Marc Jacobs, took home the "Designer of the Year" award at the 11th Annual ACE Awards in New York on Nov. 5, one of many people honored by the Accessories Council this year for their achievements in the world of accessories.Jacobs, whose shoes and handbags for both his signature collection and his younger Marc by Marc Jacobs brand are highly sought after items, also designs accessories for one of the most recognizable luxury brands in the world, Louis Vuitton, which he reinvents season after season. His latest collection, shown on the runways in Paris in October, featured a collaboration with artist Richard Prince.
Other winners included Mandy Moore for "Fashion Innovator" (really?), and Heidi Klum for "Fashion Influencer". Is that even a word? Heidi is pushing her new jewelery line, which she's going to wear on "Project Runway" this season. These awards are so arbitrary. And I know some of you twigs are like, stop bitching and go to the gym. And my reply is - who has time? I gotta write and bitch about people and I like food too much. Damn. Have you ever had a Ring Ding? They're like hockey pucks of chocolate happiness. Don't judge!

So when did Jessica Simpson develop those gnarly man legs??? The pic of her losing her balance...those legs...whoa.

I have some news for you Mr. J. Harvey! You have been duped. My friend got that very Blondie t-shirt (I think it's green?) in the Marc Jacobs sale for $25 and it is an XL! And she's a tall girl (5 foot 11) with broad shoulders and big boobs and it's roomy on her, so that chick you spoke to? TOTALLY LIED.

Wow was it necessary for her to rub it in that they didn't even get larges in the shipment. Those P-town boutiques are a bit much for me, you can't ever browse or else you get the stare down.

I went into the San Francisco store with my mom and tried on a lovely $400 jumper. My mom (she's from the midwest) took one look at the price tag and practically shouted "OH GOODNESS! WAIT 'TIL IT GOES ON SALE!" A sales person came over and said "Ummm...we don't have sales at Marc Jacobs...EVER."
It was intense.
