Like of the Week: Leather Jackets! Leather Jackets! Leather Jackets!
The Leather Jacket in all it's glory!
Well, kids, Labor Day is upon us. That means that Summer is packing it’s bags and heading into hibernation soon, gently leading us into those fair-weather Fall months. It’s time to start thinking about that Autumnal wardrobe and if there is one Fall fashion must have to have in your closet this year it’s the super sexy, super sleek leather jacket.
This is a style that’s coming back in a huge way this season and truthfully no one can deny the instant appeal. Put on a leather jacket and you are instantly bad ass (hellooo, the Fonz anyone?).
Plus, there are so many well-made and tailored options out there now that weren’t available before. Not to mention the styles and cuts and are endless; bombers, blazer cuts, trenches, crinkled leather, brushed leather -there are literally no limits when it comes to this classic jacket.
Also, if real leather isn’t your bag, then there are a plethora of amazing synthetic and or vegan leathers choices out there that are just as worthy of your wear and won’t compromise the overall look. We’re now reaching a fashion arena where faux is just as fashionable as the real deal, and let’s be honest here, it’s a lot easier on the old wallet.
I myself actually recently purchased this synthetic leather jacket at Uniqlo and every time I wear it out, people always seem to think it’s 100% authentic when in reality it was a fraction of the price. You can also find great options at shops like H&M.
So check out some styles, shop around, find your leathery look, but make sure you get in on this Fall fashion trend for 2010. Trust me, all the cool kids are going to be wearing them.

The Padded Panty
Dislike of the Week: Padded Panties for Insecure Ass People in the World
Ass Men beware. There is a new trend running rampant on the streets. The terrifying, the ludicrous, the
bizarre, Padded Panty is on websites and in stores near you!
Now, I know there are times when women look in the mirror and wish that they had the rump of say, J. Lo or anyone in the Kardashian clan but seriously, people, glorified Spanx with built in butt enhancers?! Is this what we’ve come to? Chicken cutlets meant for our ass?!
I actually happened to come across a pair of these atrocious undies in a store recently and it took every ounce of my being not to guffaw at this ridiculous product and ask the sales women if anyone had actually ever purchased it. I even spoke to one of my guy friends about this trend and what he told me was pretty honest and overall very understandable.
Just like women who use the padded bras and chicken cutlets to enhance their bust and give the illusion of Playboy Bunny curves, these padded panties, or “buttock enhancing garments” are merely image tools that are, to be quite frank, just straight up false advertising.
They’re a blatant lie to the public and opposite sex in general. Think about it for a second, who wouldn’t be disappointed heading toward the boudoir with a buxom Kim Kardashian only to find out they’re more of a rail-thin Kate Moss type in the end. (When it’s put like that, it’s sort of difficult to argue with.)
At the end of the day these granny panties are really just fat-assed girdles. So women (or men) who are craving a little junk in your trunk – shake what your Mama gave you and be proud of it. Own it. Don’t buy it. Especially not for $39.99 in a nylon lycra blend.
