Zoolander Makes Refinery 29's Top 10 Fashion Movie List
Refinery29.com recently put together a list of the top 10 fashion movies ever made. I think it is hillarious that Zoolander made the cut. Someone once said that you can't ridicule the fashion idustry because it is the only industry that ridicules itself by being absolutely ridiculous (in somewhat similar words). Whoever said that was wrong. Zoolander did a fantastic job of making fun of models as well as the fashion industry. LOL
Diablo Cody to Remake Pre-Teen Classic
It's been brought to my attention that Diablo Cody, ("Juno" 2007, "Jennifer's Body" 2009 ) will be writing and producing an adaptation of Francine Pascal's Sweet Valley High young adult book series. The film is going to be set in the eighties and I am dying to see the costumes. Diablo Cody has somewhat of a cult following and it will be interesting to see how she puts her signature style on the film. After speculation that she would be setting the film in modern times she made the statement “Don’t feel like brokering some deal with T-Mobile to give Enid a Sidekick.”, classic. I am a huge Diablo Cody fan and actually had the SVH GAME growing up, therefore you can expect me to be the first one in line at the box office opening day.

Jeremy Scott caused a stir during this year's spring fashion week in London when he debuted a collection inspired by none other than The Flinstones. What's with the Hannah Barbera obsession lately? He garnered much criticism over the wear ability of this collection, however, I found a lot of pieces kind of fun and wearable, especially on the beach. I found the color and fit to be wonderful. Check out some of my favorites from his collection.
