I love that design houses are releasing little videos to accompany their latest collections. Making a visual 3-5min representation of your work is an added bonus that just watching models saunter down catwalks wearing the clothes.

One of the first mini-videos I ever fell in love with was Erin Fetherston’s Wendybird directed by acclaimed Ellen Von Unwerth. Here is Vanessa Bruno’s Printemps 2010 collection starring Lou Doillon.

I’ve been a big fan of stockings, tights whatever you want to call them for forever. I still remember my mom dressing me in white cable knit ones to match my outfits. Also, there’s a picture of me not even two years old in a blue dress with a white pinafore, a blue barrette in my hair, white lace-up shoes and blue tights. Because my mom is so gangsta at color-coordination.

Love Ricky Gervais, used to love Elmo. Put the two of them together and laughter ensues.

Here’s some behind the scenes footage of Gervais and Elmo ad-libbing on Sesame Street.

Some good quotes: “You can’t even control a muppet and a fat guy”

“Get off Elmo! You’re not supposed to touch Elmo!”

“Where did you lose this interview?! Where!!”
