Style Icon: Dita von Teese (and Evan Rachel Wood is lame)

Okay, so how much do I love everything she wears? A whole lot. I excuse the freaky marriage to Marilyn Manson (even though it kind of made sense), and any other craziness that might be lurking in her mind, because she is committed. Seriously though, think about how long it must take her to get dressed in the morning. She took a look and was like, "this is going to be me, everyday, extra fabulous". She is also in fact a diminutive 5'3" and models... yay for short people! Blah blah blah I love her and this is why:

In head to toe Dior

ooo! purist!

So, this is what you get when 'tard blonde girls try and jack your perfectly referenced historical style:

Photobucket
come hither? i'd rather not, thanks...

"prom sucks... lets go listen to some.. uh... manson.."

I'm kind of a history nerd, so I love fashion that represents some era from the past. Wood is like that girl in class that talks about the 50s as polka dot Grease and pouf dresses, and Dita raises her hand and is all "not really, there was a lot of repression within suburbia and McCarthyism scared progressive liberals and the economy was running on false credit... and thats why I wear pencil skirts better then you".

Velocifero


Some of you may wonder, "what happened to Ladytron?" "Are they still together?" "Are they still making music?" "Will they ever go on tour again?" Well those questions can be answered. For the past couple of months, they have been hiding out in Studio de la Grande Armée, Paris recording their new album Velocifero. They have collaborated with Alessandro Cortini from Modwheelmood and NIN and Vicarious Bliss from Ed Banger Records. After recording, it was then completed and mixed in Los Angeles with Michael Patterson who has worked with Beck and P. Diddy.

I look forward to listening their new album which will be released in June 2008, and especially because they have worked on this album with one of the finest people in the music industry. Hopefully the music will live up to the people they have worked with, and will compliment the works they have done in the past.

They will officially start their tour in Europe on April 30th and will continue to tour Europe until May 16th. Then the North American Tour will kick off on May 20th until July 4th. Find the nearest place they will be playing and find a ticket!
