Whether she's playing the Devil's momma, or a jammin' hacker, actress Julia Stiles knows how to dress to impress. Do you know anyone else who can rock that nose ring and hat like she can?
In a spoof site that's actually a clever viral for the Lunch Box Fund, Julia takes on the role of a "green" fashionista with eco-friendly designs that include "10 Shirts I Love About You" and "Save the Last Shants." She definitely couldn't have picked better models!
Oh dear.
Really, I don't know what else to say about this. I might get thrown out of the castle for this, but I simply had to share. Our esteemed Fruit Brute contributed this fantastically awful sweater to his friend's website, Bad Sweater Guy.
The site is an absolute hoot, and make sure to click on the link to the left to see the original collection of Bad Sweater Guy's sweaters. I had some doozies back in the '80s, too! I need to go dig up some old photos for him. You guys do the same! I want to see the ultimate resource for tacky knitwear on the interwebs here!
Seriously? This is the best picture you could get, Mr. Baby Photographer? That baby looks like it's literally drowning in a pile of Batman. If this were America's Next Top Baby Model, that baby would so be eliminated in the first round.
This is just one of many strange baby and pet costumes highlighted at mental_floss. They're just the trick if you want to encourage people to sit on, boil, or eat your baby.
"Wanna get big, watery shiny eyes without any surgery? CRAVE AND ENVY NO MORE!"
That's the ad copy for a type of contact lenses gaining popularity in Japan that purports to make the irises of your eyes sort of ridiculously huge.
You know, I didn't really think there was a surgery for this sort of thing. What is it, an animectomy? Thanks, but I think I'm doing pretty okay in the crave and envy department.

For those of us determined to both help save the environment and look totally sexy doing it, Urlesque is featuring a list of the most eco-friendly underwear. The "green" undies include socks made almost entirely from bamboo, boxers made of white pine tree pruning, and even instructions for making underwear out of old t-shirts. Finally, I can have Max Headroom on my ass!

France's major menswear fashion shows for this season came to a close on Sunday, and the Associated Press makes note of the overall sense of girliness the collections tended to exude. Dior designer Kriss Van Assche says "pish posh."
"For me, it's not at all about making menswear more feminine," he told the AP. "The whole job is to use these traditions like embroidery and all that, but to make it in a very masculine way."
Um.
Masculine.
Very masculine.
Don't get me wrong, that coat is awesome. I would wear that coat. And so would Jem. And her Holograms. And hell, probably Rio.

BestWeekEver.tv has a list of the top ten silliest hats in England, taken from Ladies Day at this year's Royal Ascot race meeting.
This one may be my favorite, because it looks like a bad Photoshop, but isn't.
Happy Pride Month! Amazon.com is kicking off the festivities with a big gay sale that includes discounts on movies, music, and jewelry.
Points of interest (my interest, anyway) include the complete series of My So-Called Life for nearly half off, and gems like Angels in America, Shortbus, and Paul Morrissey's Flesh.
A would-be passenger at London's Heathrow Airport was forbidden from boarding a plane after his Transformers t-shirt was deemed offensive by airport security, all becuase...get this...Optimus Prime has a gun.
Didn't this guy learn anything from his high-strung kindergarten art teacher? The only thing more dangerous than a gun is a picture of a gun.

I may really need to consider moving to San Francisco if these are the types of people I'd get to hang out with. Here are artist's renderings of real-life, rather interesting-looking people sighted in Frisco, focusing on their impeccable fashion sense.
I actually sort of want green highlights now. Or at least that tie.

Yeah, okay. I could pretend that I simply appreciate this poster-sized menagerie of assorted male cosplayers for the meticulous costume detail and physics-defying hair artistry. I could pretend that this isn't blatantly gratuitous gay nerd pandering and that I'm not harboring a deep-rooted Junpei fetish.
I could. So...I will.
Enjoy!

I imagine it's not too easy to dance or even walk around on a crowded dance floor with these things on, but all you ravers, goths, cybergoths, ravergoths, and cyberraverwhatevergoths out there might be interested in these pneumatically-powered glowing robot wings. They'll set you back a thousand bucks, but they are pretty nifty-looking. Just use them wisely; you can only extend or retract the wings about seven times between "recharges."
You can also pick up a still-pretty-cool-looking cheaper version that doesn't light up.
