Vogue Special Delivery

Ding-dong, Vogue special delivery. Say what?! It's not every day one gets an urgent marked box from the fashion bible. Open, and find the hefty September issue encapsulated within a clear sleeve attached to handles. If you can manage to ignore the bewildering Keira Knightley on the cover, it's quite a cool gimmick. Since you probably can't fit all 798 pages in your handbag, no worries, just carry as-is. It's even protected from the elements - you know, PETA advocates and thunderstorms - with the vinyl overlay. In a dark time when fashion magazines are struggling to stay afloat, such shenanigans are sure to impress.

Corsets: Lots of Controversy Squeezed Into One Undergarment

Tara Sharp — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:40:11 PST

Nowadays, women who want a trimmer waist in a pinch typically turn to Spanx or some other body-slimming underwear. But when it's less about practicality and more about looking sexy in nothing but your skivvies (like for your Valentine's Day date night, for instance), you may choose to don a corset. While modern women are free to wear these fitted underpinnings whenever we want to spice things up in the bedroom, corsets and the idealized tiny waists they create have a long and controversial history that doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.

Just last September, Vogue Italia controversially featured Ethel Granger and her 13-inch waist, which she achieved by wearing a corset 24-7. Ethel, who holds the record for the smallest waist in recorded history, went through the painful process for her husband. Her motivation brings up one of the main issues with corsets: are they for the men or the women? And Romanian-born model Ioana Spangenberg, "the human hourglass," is being criticized for setting a bad example with her 20-inch waist, even though she claims she can't help her shape and didn't use corsets to achieve it.

To find out more about what made corsets so controversial back in their heyday (including info from Valerie Steele's book The Corset: A Cultural History), let's look back at some of the vintage ads and photos of these constrictive undergarments and the nonhuman-like shapes they created on women.

George Clooney Gets Dirty, Dapper to Reveal His Best Pranks in LA Times Magazine

Molly Goodson — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:10:00 PST

George Clooney was happy to try on both goofy and handsome looks for the Oscars issue of the LA Times Magazine with Viola Davis on the cover, which is out on Sunday. The accompanying article is focused on George the prankster and chronicles everything from friends who have been on the receiving end of his famous cons to what he's careful about when choosing his targets. George recently said he's planning a prank on Brad Pitt that may "end his career." George and Brad are up against each other in the best actor category at the Academy Awards, though when it comes to practical jokes Mr. Clooney is in a league of his own. George revealed his best one ever, which involves a cat litter box, and a time when he backed off something he'd been working on for years. Here are highlights:

Clooney on his pranks: "Humor only gets me in trouble when I forget that any joke I make will be heard by a lot of people and can be hurtful to someone if I’m not careful. I’m just screwing around...but you realize as you get home that it’s something that would hurt someone’s feelings, and maybe it’s not needed. You have to consider that a little more."
Jerry Weintraub on one prank from Ocean's Eleven days: "I had a gold silk shirt-a very expensive gold silk shirt-Clooney hated. Once at the Bellagio when we were doing Ocean’s, I was having drinks with the guys, and Clooney sneaked into my closet and stole the shirt. That September, for my birthday, I received a big box wrapped with ribbon-and in it was my gold shirt. On the back, Clooney had drawn a picture in black marker of a giant penis, and he’d had everyone who participated in a charity golf tournament for prostate cancer in Las Vegas sign it, too. There were 30 signatures-Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Wayne Gretzky..."
Julianna Margulies on an ER era prank with an unnamed man: "He asked George, 'Does my pasta smell funny?' and then pushed the plate into his face. Clooney took it all in stride, but he waited until the guy’s last day [on the production] and placed a license plate frame on his car that said, 'Honk if you like p--y.' The guy thought every-one was honking and waving goodbye to him. [George] was the master-and he had the patience of a Buddhist monk. He can create a joke that will take eight years [to pull off]."

The 45-year-old model just graced the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Singapore's September issue looking like she hasn't aged a day while wearing a sexy body-con leather corset from Louis Vuitton complete with a chic vintage updo and bold red lips to show off her signature beauty mark.

Oprah's Favorite Things For 2011

Emily Co — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 11:03:14 PST

As an avid Oprah fan, I was devastated to see the season end in September. One of my favorite episodes was Oprah's Favorite Things, because I just loved to see the audience's reactions when she announced what she was giving them. I swear, I've never seen grown men and women cry over macaroni and cheese.

When the holidays started drawing close, I was a little bit sad that I won't get to see what her favorite picks are this year. Imagine my surprise when I pulled out the December issue of Oprah's magazine to see that it's an Oprah's Favorite Things edition! Read on to find out what they are and how much you can save by using a special code. I've also added a couple of alternatives for items that cost over $100.
