When did tights become pants?

Tights. Are. Not. Pants! When did it become okay to wear tights with shirts that are not long enough to cover your butt?

Shanae Grimes: The worst offender. Period.
She has taken this to a whole new level with see through lace tights! Not to mention this outfit is rediculous

Sienna Miller: The Worst Dance Inspired Offender
She looks like she just got out of her ballet rehearsal than managed to put on a fur shirt and ugly boots so she could look "normal". Didn't quite work.

Mischa Barton: Least Flattering Offender
The tights are wrinkling, shes wearing flat shoes...nuff said



Lindsay Lohan: The Repeat Offender
There are many more offenses than just these two.

Would you wear tights as pants?

'Pushed' launches on the WB website

This new soapy drama "Pushed" has just launched on the WB Website!
It's full of sex, betrayal, murder, money and fun! I had the pleasure of working on the costumes and had such a great time! By the 4th mini webisode you'll be hooked! (they are around 3 minutes each). Webisodes are such a fun new way to watch tv---especially because you can sneak them in at work!

Watch the Pushed Webisodes here!

Get Lauren Conrad's Style

I admit I watch "The Hills" as a guilty pleasure---but have noticed Lauren 's style in the process. It is classic, chic and not overly fussy. Here are a few style inspirations thanks to Lauren and Polyvore As always if you click on my polyvore collages you can see where each item is from.

She also has a fashion line---which us Culturistas think are extremely overpriced. BUT there is a sale going on-- so check it out: Lauren Conrad Designs

Sometimes its amazing how well Forever 21 and Philip Lim go together.

The Culturistas heart Aegis Apparel!

Truth be told, I am somewhat biased with my love of Aegis Apparel as they are near and dear friends...but even if I had simply stumbled upon their website I would blog about how awesome their gear is.

Aegis Apparel is an Los Angeles based company that has super creative and fun graphic tees. Their support of local art is clearly depicted in the caliber of images chosen and their overall message..."Protect life. Protect art. Protect your style."

Aside from these shirts being hip, edgy, and affordable, Aegis also donates $5 from every shirt purchased to grassroots charity organization Nothing but Nets.

Go check out Aegis Apparel's different shirts and their blog
which is a sister blog to the Culturistas (music, nightlife, fashion!)

Looked better last year:

2009 ---------------------------------- 2008

Isn't it weird that Angelina Jolie looked better pregnant?

2009----------------------------------------- 2008
America Ferrera sure loves those muted tones. I just like everything about her look better last year. That weird side pony tail and dark lipstick aren't doing it for me.

2009-----------------------2008
After seeing Eva Longoria looking so gorgeous in that red dress at the golden globes I just assumed she was going to show up looking fab! Not like a pageant queen :( But she did look gorgeous in 2008!

Had weird fabric appendages on their gowns:

Amy Adams / Marisa Tomei

Just looked plain desperate:

Marcia Cross/ Teri Hatcher
