Jeremy Scott for adidas Originals Teddy Bears Sneaker

The homies at Sneaker Freaker recently sent over their latest magazine & featured on the cover are the Jeremy Scott "Teddy Bear Sneakers." While I love Scott's crazy ideas, this pink bear kind of reminds me of Lots'O (anybody see Toy Story 3??)...

Would you wear this bear or would you rather go bare foot? (corny-joke-ness intended)

Tim Gunn Calls Out Anna Wintour & Mizrahi in New Book

Tim Gunn’s book, “Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons For Making It Work,” has been receiving plenty of attention for his call-outs on Anna Wintour and Isaac Mizrahi.  When discussing Wintour, Gunn says “It’s insane that people don’t call her out on the things she does. Is it fear? I was certainly afraid of her. When her office called me, I thought I’d have to go into the witness protection program.”

On Mizrahi– “Oh, please, I was so kind to him. I mean, I wouldn’t have the words to describe some of the more abhorrent behavior. He really is a terrible, terrible, terrible person."

Gunn himself says he hasn't had sex in decades and he considers himself a "gay role model"—"I wanted to say that, whether you’re gay or straight, you can live a celibate life and be perfectly satisfied and happy," he writes.

While the mild-mannered Project Runway "father-hen" usually reserves his critiques for the Brother sewing room in Parsons, he definitely let's it all out on paper.

New Music: Cee-lo’s ‘F*ck You’ Video 

"Yeah I’m sorry I can’t afford a Ferrari

But that don’t mean I can’t get you there.

I guess he’s an X-box and I’m more Atari

But the way you play your game ain’t fair."

You don't even need to dislike anybody to enjoy this song, it is actually a feel-good. Trust me!

Our fave, Marc Jacobs and Anna Wintour (Vogue EIC), chatted with Jimmy Fallon last night about NYC’s Fashion’s Night Out happening Friday Sept. 10.

I'm giving you the full episode in honor of my nephew's love of Yo Gabba Gabba. 

I have yet to map out a schedule for Fashion's Night Out, but I do plan on participating. You?
