Fall Fashion in February

GQ is already posting what they think will be the looks for this Fall.

With all the fashion shows abounding, I had a hard time picking which show to begin with, and then the funny name decided it for me:

Rag and Bone.

Who could turn that down?

Here's what you need to know about the R&G collection:

- Lots of plaid
- Bowler hats
- Many homages to Johnny Depp in Benny and Joon

So basically, if you want to look like you're going to a Halloween party as Johnny Depp in Braveheart, this collection is for you.

Meanwhile, the folks over at Nautica had a bunch of guys standing on a fake pier wearing large coats with their hands in their pockets trying not to look stupid...and failing miserably.

(It's a Fall collection and half of them are wearing white. Did we throw out the "no white after Labor Day" rule when I was organizing my ugly cardigan drawer?)

Perry Ellis apparently thinks it's going to be one cold Fall, since most of the models were bundled up in big coats and the same pair of gray pants that I imagined them passing off to the next guy backstage like some sort of high fashion relay race.

I felt bad for the models. You primp and prep yourself to look your best, and then you get shoved in winter wear. Luckily, they all got to come out at the end in white Long John's, at which point it became very clear that Perry Ellis does not have any underwear in his Fall line.

The Riviera Club is looking to give you some good, healthy sock action this fall. Do you miss that "pull your pants up to your neck" look that was so popular, um, well, never? Well, you're in luck! It's back. And so is looking like you're about to give people a tour of your haunted botany museum.

Over at Robert Geller, it is all about making bitches work those scarves. If you're not prepared to walk down the runway like you just fired your nanny, flirted with your tennis coach, and got a pedicure all in one day, then you better board the next bus back to Ohio and model for Target.

Model of the Week? Purple hair guy who's all--I dare you to say something about my hair. I...dare...you.

Finally, we come to Tommy Hilfiger. As far as I can tell the idea is, get a suit jacket, put it on a homeless person, and call it a day.

There were also certain celebratory flavors. There was a little Kanye, a little Andy Warhol, and a little Paula Poundstone.

I guess the 90's really are making a comeback.

Good thing I never threw out those Kris Kross pants.

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know ...

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyon...

The Community and The Hypnotist

  Two years ago, I started interviewing people in the theater world about the problems within that community. All the subjects of the interviews remained anonymous to encourage people to speak directly and plainly without worrying that there would be consequences down the line. (Of course, even then, some people felt like outing themselves and getting in hot water, but we're going to leave that water under another bridge.) When I decided it was time to bring the series to a close, it was partly because I thought it had run its course, and partly because I had a new topic I wanted to tackle. While I've had my issues with theater and the people who do it, I've never felt like I didn't belong there, whereas from the moment I came out, I've never truly felt like a part of the gay community. To be clear, that probably has way more to do with me than the community, but it's something I wanted to explore, and I knew how I wanted to do it. The theater interviews were al...
