There is nothing worse to wake up to than a database error on one of your websites. Right now Vlad and the techs are looking into it and working on it! Hopefully it should not be much longer. Hang tight everyone!

Apparently some Manhattan retailers are accepting Euros figuring that money is money.
With the weak dollar getting slaughtered by the euro, some businesses are happily accepted the currency here in Manhattan. They figure money is money thus accepting it and worrying about the exchange on their own time with their bank.
Where’s Waldo? At the circus? On a crowded beach? At a baseball game?
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Waldo Fernandez is in Los Angeles with his pal Kelly Styne creating a new wardrobe staple you never knew you needed: a cashmere T-shirt.
of its usual sports coverage, Sports Illustrated dedicates one special issue every winter to photos of models in the upcoming season's fashion swimwear.
I received an early Christmas present this year: An intimate performance at Legacy Studios featuring Mary J. Blige. For a longtime MJB fan like me, nothing could be better than that. Her set was being taped for broadcast on Yahoo!...
Scandinavian design has been influencing us for some time in both the interiors and fashion arenas. So we finally decided to get on over to Copenhagen for the CPH and Gallerie Shows, to soak up some Nordic influence and meet some cool people and cool brands. We caught the Danish brand Wood Wood's fashion show earlier this evening. For it's 7th collection, called the "big bang" collection, Wood Wood considers serious issues such as global warming, Armageddon, and the futuristic idea of space colonization. For men, classic and casual streetwear-- basic tees, classic shirts, chinos, jeans, knitwear and sweatshirts-- are twisted into interesting silhouettes. Fabrics range from classic mix of dark navy corduroy, light denim chambray, check flannel, to lambswool knitwear. Womenswear reflected a tomboyish edge using menswear materials, colors, and shapes. We personally love the plaid knee length shorts! Pics after the jump.
And always known for their exciting collaborations, Wood Wood teamed up again with heritage outerwear maker Penfield with a new bordeaux-red leather jacket.
Pantone, Inc., the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, released the PANTONE Fashion Color Report Fall 2008.
At the luncheon, bebe announced that designer Tara Subkoff will be the brand's first design collaborator, with the Tara Subkoff for bebe collection launching in all stores this February.
That's a long way from Imitation of Christ, no? We at eye4style are alarmed though Subkoff claims to be happy to design "sexy, wearable clothes" for the masses.
What do you think? Will Tara Subkoff for bebe be a success?
In continuing the recently begun series on love/hate sartorial relationships, I chose an item of elegant and yet comic status. It is one of the most theatrical accessories available to gentlemen; effete and yet at the same time, a strong symbol of a dying patriarchy. The cravat is an ancient wardrobe item and though it [...]
Wearing false eyelashes has never been easier, thanks to Imju Fiberwig mascara. It utilizes micro-fine fibers to mirror the glamorous, lengthening and sexy effects of false lashes, but doesn't require any of the extra work. Just brush it on! It's no wonder this water-resistant, long-lasting and clump-free formula is Japan's top seller.
…and this is just the marketing campaign! The actual Puchi Moe are just like the original PuchiPuchi, but instead of fart noises and dogs barking (between pops of course) you get character-specific expressions like “I really like you big brother!” which might be a little weird for those of us without younger sisters, but is a nice compliment nonetheless.
Puchi Moe will be available on March 8th and, if it gets the same attention as last time, will be out of stores and dangling from laptop and PSP cases before nightfall.

Riding on the success of their hit 2007 “Infinite Bubblewrap” toy, Bandai is pushing the Puchi Puchi even more this year with the upcoming release of the new Puchi Moe versions.
Puchi Moe has four new color schemes, but also four distinct female anime characters to go along with them, obviously to tap into the lucrative market of otaku that like to spend money on such things.
The characters represent four major archetypes in Japanese anime:
• Osonanajimi: The childhood friend, loyal and at your side.
• Meido: Your stereotypical anime maid, at your service.
• Tsundere: A character type that is tough on the outside, but vulnerable.
• Imouto: The adoring younger sister.
While the original Puchi version (and subsequent color varieties) were complete media creations from the get-go, Bandai is taking the publicity for Puchi Moe into its own hands. Each character has her “own” blog (ex. Osonanajimi) and even downloadable promo graphics to decorate your geeky desktop.
There are also the obligatory “blog parts” (see below) of embeddable html character clocks to put in any of the millions of Japanese blogs out there…

Well, at least the fashion designers aren’t on strike. L.A. may have been deprived of the usual Golden Globes glitz this weekend, but there was no lack of glamour in Milan on Saturday. Donatella Versace, Jay-Z, Beyonce and Kelly Rowland...
I like the idea of a canvas gladstone bag, but one of the buckles is longer than the other. In this one episode of Little House on the Prairie, a girl was born with a deformity and her left leg was slightly shorter than the right, resulting in her having to wear a wooden contraption* to balance her body.
