A Fabby Halloween: A Stepford Wife

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

I know it's a demeaning classic, but have you ever read The Stepford Wives? The book is pretty good and a very quick read. I read it after I saw the remake movie version with Nicole Kidman, then I rented the '75 original. I don't know why I was so fascinated. Probably the same reason I love femme bots. The only time I would encourage dressing up like a blond robot is Halloween. So don't take it too seriously, it is kind of fun to dress up like Barbie. The nice thing about being a Stepford is that it isn't a slutty costume. Remember, the men of Stepford didn't want their wives flaunting their goods all over town, just in their own sick private worlds.

Burberry Golden Gloves: Love It or Hate It?

Had they been silver, these Burberry Leather Gloves ($450) would of gone perfect with my femme bot Halloween costume. I can see them adding a fun punch of metallic to a sleek winter outfit but I'm worried it might look tacky. Do you have the King Midas touch or are these gloves a no-go?

FABTV: George Michael "Too Funky"

Upon watching this video for the hundredth time, I realized it had a direct influence on my love for theatrical fashion. This early 90s video is another one of George Michael's brilliant contributions to the world and I was in awe at first viewing.

The cast: Linda (my all time fave), legs-for-days Nadja Auermann, Estelle Lefébure, Emma Sjöberg, a budding Tyra (in a green showgirl getup), Spanish actress with her standout nose Rossy de Palma, and the always beautiful Beverly Peele. I could honestly go on for hours about this video - let's go for a cocktail one day and dish about it! - but the OMG pieces were the iconic motorcycle outfit and femme bot uniform both by Thierry Mugler. Mugler also directed the video. Another jaw dropper: Linda premieres with a peroxided meringue-do that makes me drool every time. In short, this video exhibits raw female fashion empowerment. Too funky? Too fabulous.

Grammys Red Carpet Trend: Glitterati

FabSugar — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 23:04:33 -0800

I had a feeling that since it was the Grammys we would be treated to some over the top fashions and I was right! The first trend I noticed off the bat was glitterati. Everyone was sparkling! We all know metallics are a huge trend and it is so very red carpet worthy. Petra Nemcova looked like a femme bot in her silver metallic mini dress while Paula Abdul chose a sequin-paneled gown by Valentino. I rather liked Hilary Duff's gold and black Dolce & Gabbana sequined slip dress that most of you hated!

Spring Peek: Intergalactic Planetary

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 15:50:33 -0800

The talk of fashion town is the extreme difference between the two over-arching trends for Spring 2007. The first one being Romanza and the second one being Intergalactic Planetary. Femme bots dominated the runways in a major way, with nods to fashion legends Paco Rabanne and Andre Courreges. The use of metals, plastics and black shiny leather created these bad attitude looks.

Whether you are sugar or spice, salt or pepper, nice or naughty, get used to seeing these trends trickle into your Spring wardrobe. I personally love the theatrics of this Spring Peek, but I crave the gorgeousness of Romanza. What are your thoughts?
