One of my favorite past Project Runway contestants Nick Verreos appeared at the Wizard of Oz exhibition with a bunch of models dressed as Dorothy to promote the Ruby Slipper collection–a collection of shoes by a myriad of different designers.

Since I love Nick and it was Dorothy themed, I couldn’t help but post it.

You can get a small look at some of the shoes here.

Esquire continues to be the beacon of classy fashion magazine publishing as they release their most recent “How To Be A Man” issue, rife with misogyny and homophobia.  They tell their readers one way to cuss like a man is to use the term “shit-sniffing faggot” to insult people.

There’s a new show on NBC called Southland that follows a group of Los Angeles police officers and it’s centered around Ben McKenzie whom you might remember from Junebug and The O.C.  At the end of the first episode, it was revealed that one of the cops is gay.

There was a New York City protest rallying against the recent uptick of murders of gay men in Iraq.  The protest almost turned ugly as the NYPD wouldn’t allow the protesters to stand on the public sidewalk in front of the Iraq mission.

Universal Music and YouTube are partnering to open a completely new website called Vevo that will exlusively feature music videos.  Currently Universal is the only label part of the deal but YouTube is in negotiations to try to get other record labels to lend their artists’ video to the site.

Apparently there were rumors bubbling that Lindsay Lohan was in talks to play Stevie Nicks in a biopic.  Ms. Nicks was asked about how she feels about LiLo playing her on the big screen and her response was “Over my dead body.”

Yesterday I discussed D.C. mayor Adrian M. Fenty leaning toward signing the bill that the council came up with to recognize out of state same-sex marriages, and here is an interview with him on a local newscast discussing whether the U.S. Congress will let the bill pass.

This season’s objects of desire

Patent-leather lace-ups, candy-colored belts, and cotton-canvas tote bags are just a few of the accessories you’ll want to own this spring.
