Aubrey O’Day on the catwalk at the MTV Fashionista show. According to the Fashion Police over at E! Online, “This hideous green top looks one-part Christmas wrapping paper, one-part barfly. And that prison-stripe cardigan only highlights the point that this Danity Kayne dilettante should be arrested—for assaulting our eyes.” We pretty much agree.

You can dress a good poncho up or down, you can wrap it like a scarf, you can even use a poncho as a blanket.”  Aubele has designed a very good starter poncho for fall, knit from wool, with ombré dye and fringed ends.

I know it’s not Freaky Friday, but this is too good to pass up. (or would the term be bad ?) I found this over at  Go Fug Yourself. Apparently Christina deRosa’s claim to fame is her appearance in Playboy at one time but seriously is there one thing on this woman that isn’t completely tasteless ? It’s just so wrong! Note the fish purse. Wonder if she picked that out herself.
