Yesterday Afternoon

Yesterday Afternoon

Here's what I did yesterday afternoon.

Unfortunately, I was made to sign a confidentiality agreement. I'm gonna have to pay a ridiculous amount of money to the tune of 6 million pesoses (approx. US$130,000) if I squeal anything so my lips are sealed.

I guess you'll find out in a few months. Oooh the hilarity!

As for the rest of the night, let's just say I passed out in the car, got home at 4AM and woke up at 10AM today with a massive hangover. I haven't had a night out in months -- I was supposed to be home by 10PM -- but I had so much fun. Thanks to all of you! :-)

PS. OMFG I saw Jolina!

MTV Made Josh the Fashion Journalist

MTV Made Josh the Fashion Journalist

Oh my god you guys why haven't I seen THIS before? This is the story of my life!

OK maybe not because...

a) I don't have man boobs.. and
b) I know Iceberg, how can you NOT know Iceberg, thank you very much.

Just kidding.

In all seriousness though, it's all too familiar. Pluck the little gay boy who tried so hard to fit in from obscurity and put him in the big city.

I tried to embed the videos on my blog but I'm getting an error message. Maybe it's because they're a couple of years old. In any case, click the photo above and you should be able to watch them on the MTV website.

Last thing -- what's with Karen Robinovitz giving pronunciation lessons when she pronounced Yves Saint Laurent as Yves SAINT (SAYNT) Laurent? That's a small boo boo right there. Oops! :-) Curious about designer name pronunciations? Click HERE.

OK y'all, just watch it on the MTV website. I'm a complete sucker for shows like this. It's hysterical! Kudos on Josh for actually going through all that. I wouldn't know what to do either.

Enjoy!

Anna Wintour on CBS 60 Minutes Video Watch Online

Anna Wintour on 60 Minutes Video

My love for Anna Wintour was reinforced, thanks to her feature on last night's 60 Minutes. I would love to embed the video but CBS has a bloody problem with autoplay. I tried to modify the code by disabling it but it didn't work for some strange reason.

There are two things I dislike about this feature. First, I don't like how Morley somewhat made a mockery out of the characters in fashion. Was it REALLY necessary to point out the outsider's view of the fashion world? I found it so offensive how he used terms such as "part rocky horror show" (cue Gareth Pugh), "clothes fit for a cadaver" and "campy followers" (cue the iconic Anna Piaggi). It's funny alright but I don't think he's doing the industry a favour by mocking them. I'm sure he could do a better job making the American public understand what the industry is about: to inspire, to dress outside your comfort zone, to think outside the box, to express ourselves creatively...

Second -- I find it so tedious that the media ALWAYS, ALWAYS references The Devil Wears Prada when doing something on Anna. So a former Vogue staffer wrote a book based on her experiences and the movie became a hit, yes. But any Editor, or boss for that matter, could be as (or even be MORE) demanding or hardcore as the character portrayed. Can't Anna get a reprieve for a change?

Anyway, I think I'm alone in saying this but I really do have this voice at the back of my head that says Anna is truly a nice person. She may look tough on the outside (as part of her job) but in reality, I'm sure she's a real softie. Again, maybe it's just me. What do y'all think?

The Catherine Tate Show [videos, clips]

The Catherine Tate Show

FACE. BOVVERED.

I can't for the life of god remember what it was I searched on YouTube earlier this week but lemme tell you, I think I've discovered my favourite comedienne of all time. That's right. Holy Mary Manolo batman, Catherine Tate is the funniest woman EVER! OK fine, she's up there with Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders.



What is it with British television? They always, ALWAYS have the funniest shows EVER! I love the sense of humor. This sort of shit won't fly in America or in the third world where absolutely everything has to be politically-correct or else you'll suffer the wrath of the government (FCC/USA) or the masses (Philippines).

I've compiled some of my favourite Catherine Tate skits for your viewing pleasure. I love how she plays different characters. Get ready to laugh. You are SO gonna die!!! She even poked fun at the Queen and asked her point-blank "are you disrespecting me? are you calling my mum a prostitute?".

Ugly Betty Season 3 - Rabbit Test

Ugly Betty Season 3 - Rabbit Test

UGH!!! Betty finally hit the jackpot with a lovely (or should I say $lovely$) man and she fucking blew it away!



Woman, all I can say is that you are the stupidest piece of turd on the planet. Your boyfriend clearly told you he does NOT want to mix your relationship with business... and you used him.  I don't care that you saved Mead Publications. You still used him. You effing used him!

How can you let the billionaire go just like that?

In other news, I finally saw the 1998 movie called "Happiness". Excuse my French but it's the most fucked up film I have EVER seen in my entire life but it was hysterical. Here, watch it on YouTube. Pedobear would have a ball watching this film. The ending was great, too.

The Model Agent Ireland Episode 1 & 2 [VIDEOS]

The Model Agent Ireland Episode 1 & 2

I know at one point a few years back I obsessed about Canada and Australia's Next Top Model. However, for the most part, I don't really keep track of these "top model" shows because a) I don't have a lot of spare time to watch them all and b) those shows give 90% of the girls (and show viewers) false hope and unrealistic expectations of the fashion business. The camp humor, fake hysteria and dramatics all made good television nonetheless. Just ask Tyra!

Anyhooo... there's another "model" show in town; this time it's from Ireland called "The Model Agent". I'm gonna watch this because my favourite British model Erin O'Connor (say whatever you want suckers... you say Kate or Laura Hollins, I say Erin Erin Erin) is there. I love Erin. I really do. To me she's 104% pure haute couture.

Smack the Pony

Smack the Pony

In all these years of me thinking Absolutely Fabulous was the best thing that came out of British television, I can't believe nobody told me about Smack the Pony, an old Brit sitcom featuring hysterical skits. I only found out about it today from a Polish person of all people.

Hilarious!

Ugly Betty Season 3 - The Sex Issue

Betty had sex with the billionaire!

So it's 2AM and I just finished watching the latest episode of Ugly Betty. "The Sex Issue" is my favourite episode so far this season. I still can't get over the fact that Betty managed to snag a billionaire heir --- with a former sex addiction!! But I like Matt. He's such a sweetheart compared to Betty's other LOSER guys.

God I love Amanda. She never fails to bring a smile to my face.

And I see what she did to the Bette Davis Lanvin t-shirt.

That's all.

Nate and Blair Kissing! Chace Crawford and Leighton Meester KISSING!!

Nate and Blair Kissing!

Coming to a Gossip Girl episode near you.

Oh my lord. OH MY GOLLY GOOD LORD. What in god's name brought Blair Waldorf and Nate Archibald together... again?

You know you love me,
xoxo

I'VE HAD IT.

I'VE HAD IT.

Leave me alone. Please.

Excuse me my dear readers as I need to get out of my rut. I have a new vice. I've done absolutely nothing in the past twenty four hours thanks to my new addiction. I'm not a big fan of soaps but lemme tell you I am so hooked with Home and Away. It's so bad that all I did today was stay in bed and watched over twenty old episodes on YouTube. I just finished watching episode 4590. Listen to the last bits of this video. It's soo good it's pissing me off... and the sound effects are hilarious.



Repeat after me and whisper it in your best Aussie accent -- HAS SHE COMMITTED THE PERFECT MUHHHDAH? NO ONE SUSPECTS HER NOT EVEN HER OWN HUSBAND. HAS SHE COMMITTED THE PERFECT MURDAH??? WILL HE EVAH REALIZE HE'S MARRIED TO A KILLAHH? WILL SHE GET AWAY WITH IT?

LOL. This addiction has to stop. I wanna watch the next episode but I'm afraid I'm not gonna be able to do anything and the whole world is calling my attention via my email inbox.

PS. (Update - 2:34AM): a few hours and 20 episodes later.... WHO WASHES UP? LOL See.. how the hell can I stop watching this crap?

Rachel Maddow for VOGUE?

Rachel Maddow for VOGUE?

YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!! If the rumors are true, oh my fucking god it's a MEEEERAAAHHHHKOLLLLL, Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley are finally doing something right! Somebody tipped Jezebel:

"Not ten feet down the hall in one of our tiny windowless 'crying rooms' here at 30 Rock, Andre Leon Talley and a bunch of assistants are putting make-up on Rachel Maddow for a photoshoot/interview in Vogue. Vogue just got so much more awesome, I don't even know how to deal."

I *love* Rachel Maddow. She's one of the coolest, highly-opinionated lesbians around! Think about it. You have NO idea how badly I want this to happen. Minority! Diversity! A non-OVEREXPOSED blond actress. A bulldyke! In Vogue. Vogue. VOGUE!

I haven't bought American Vogue in years (why buy when you can read it for free at the salon?)... perhaps that would change this time around?

Have you seen the latest Gossip Girl episode? Craziness! Excuse my lack of knowledge of the English language but what's the term to use when a girl gets "blueballed"? I know it only applies to guys. Dammit Blair!!

3 words, 8 letters.... and Blair couldn't say it. Jesus!

New Haven Can Wait - Gossip Girl for the win!

Gossip Girl for the win!

Have you seen the latest episode? I love CW and Gossip Girl!!!!!!!!!

"I've heard Marc Jacobs named a purse after her."

"Well I simply don't understand that fascination."

Oh snap! Brownie points to people who can describe Blair's face in ONE word. I'm 104% sure that's the same EXACT look on my mom's face when she heard the news a few months ago. Just kidding!!! My mom really couldn't care less. Nah. She's happy for me of course.

That's all.

You know you love me,

New Zealand's Next Top Friend

New Zealand's Next Top Friend

ATTENTION WHORES OF THE WORLD UNITE! Oh my god you guys I think I found the most hilarious thing ever. There's a TV contest down in New Zealand for online attention whores like myself called "New Zealand's Next Top Friend". The goal is to be NZ's most popular friend on Bebo, Facebook and Mypage (whatever that is) in a span of four weeks. They're all staying in a Big Brother-type house with webcams all over the place. Winner takes NZ$10,000, which is like what, a Chanel bag?

Anyhooha, check out some of the hilarious aspirationals who are auditioning for the next batch. There's this ex-stripper, ex-army THUG called Shannon.



And then you've got Jake who is "a gay". Yes, he is "a gay".



What do y'all think? Shannon or Jake? Answers on a postcard...
