Really Kate Walsh? “Billionaire Boyfriend” Perfume?

Before I make the exact same rant that already exists, I’ll let you read my cerebral sister’s thoughts on The Jane Dough. Then come back over so I can tell you how ol’ Billionaire bottle is so cheap the paint is flaking off. It is. Truly. Also, I wondered if I could remove one of the tacky rhinestones around the neck, and I could. Easy. With a quick flick of the fingernail.

Okay, where’s the hidden camera around here? Is Ellen in your ear, Kate? Good news is it doesn’t smell too terrible. But I still say if you want your perfume to induce feelings of being rich, go with Thierry Mugler’s Angel Collector Superstar Swarovski-encrusted edition for $3,000.

Hey You, Nice Fox Tail

via StyleSheet

Is that what you say to someone sporting a furry fox tail as fashion? It’s happening on StyleSheet this week (right), and so the conversation has cropped up. Is wearing a tail fashionable? (Let’s say it’s faux so we can skip the cruelty angle.) I thought this was a statement reserved for furries at conventions, no? According to Google, Posh participated in the bushy tail trend courtesy of Louis Vuitton circa spring 2010, but does that mean rodent behinds are just reaching the masses? PETA, where are you on this? If I show up wearing this to happy hour, am I in or am I out?

Think These Were Inspired by Dallas Girls?

I cried I laughed so hard watching these YouTube videos inspired by Sh*t Girls Say.

And this one.

Okay. I’m going to go have a “personality drink” for lunch now.

Will Dallas Shops Charge for Use of Dressing Rooms?

I might pay to use the dressing rooms at Just Add Jeans. They're fantastic.

Probably not, but I got a press release today warning that because Australian merchants are charging for changing room use, shops here in the U.S. might start, too. The idea is that it’ll prevent online shoppers from finding their sizes in stores and then going home and ordering online for discounted prices. Instead, the release promotes e-tailers that offer free shipping both ways, including returns, (companies like Piperlime, Zappos, and Madewell), but I’m curious. Have any you heard of any shops here charging to change?

This Girl Forgot Where Her Underwear Goes During the Dallas St. Patrick’s Day Block Party

Interesting choice in attire. Perhaps she took a cue from Britney Spears’ Slave 4 U video? See more block party mayhem here.

Will Highland Park Ladies Put Eye Lashes on Their Cars?

I really hope so. It’s apparently a new trend. Hopefully we’ll see a pair of falsies on a vehicle in Dallas sometime soon.

The 20 Male Poses of Facebook: Dallas Edition

A friend sent me an email linking to one of the best blog posts I’ve read in a while. Patsy Meg, of 2birds2blog, rounded up Facebook profile pics of New York’s many “Ryans” and examined the pattern of poses. There’s the workout picture, the sideways peace sign hand gestures, and the kissing-the-girlfriend photo. Read all about them here–it WILL make you laugh–and then follow the jump to see my roundup of the many faces of Dallas’ “Jakes.” (Includes Jacobs.)

Outrageous Christmas Gifts from Neiman Marcus

You can eat this entire thing for $15,000.This photo is a scan from Neiman Marcus’ famous Christmas Book. This edible gingerbread house, made by confectioners from Dylan’s Candy Bar includes “cookies, lollipops, gummies, mints, gumdrops and (of course) a candy-encrusted roof.” Apparently, a lollipop tree awaits you inside, too. Wow. Only $15,000.

Elephant Poo Paper at Green Living

Poo turned paper.

If you already knew that paper-from-poop existed, pardon this news announcement. For those of you who, like me, are just finding out and excited to stock up on PooPooPaper to give as gifts, go find it at Green Living like I did. If you’ve never been to the Lakewood eco lifestyle shop, you need to go anyway, regardless of poop, paper, or the combination of both. The new description in our Green Living store listing will tell you why.

Mustaches Don’t Necessarily Belong on ShopTalk, But…

You might enjoy keeping up with the lip fur of D contributor Ryan Jones, in honor of the month of Movember. Movember, yes. It’s spelled correctly.

How to Improvise Rain Gear

I’ve never really been prepared, fashion-wise, for rainy days. I like the rain, and I typically don’t mind getting a little wet. But, this morning… me no likey. It was pouring, and I just couldn’t stand the thought of cold, wet feet, a soaked maxi dress, and dripping locks. Problem was I didn’t have an umbrella. I grabbed a 10-year-old rain coat (I don’t much like pink, by the way), the free rainboots we got from Marnie Rocks during last year’s Plaza Style event, and some Tupperware for my head. Laugh if you must, but please note: though I don’t know how many times I was snickered at on my way to work, I arrived as dry as a martini.

Target Does Designer

Target’s designer collaborations aren’t new. We’ve seen the inexpensive made-for-Target lines of Jean Paul Gaultier, Rodarte, Anna Sui, and other heavy hitters. Now, designers have hit the diapies scene. Cynthia Rowley and Pampers combined powers to create high fashion pee pads for toddler tushies, available at Target. Would you spend $15 a pack? Sound off. (Or don’t. However you feel.)

Ps. The next round of designer duds at Target will be that of William Rast, available in December. Woo hoo!

The Greatest Soda Machine Ever Lives at Pei Wei

And probably all kinds of places that I don’t know about yet. Have you seen one of these things yet? (Check it out left.) It’s a digital choose-any-kind-of-soda-you-can-think-of touchscreen machine. Yes, touchscreen. On the main screen, options include Coke, Diet Coke, Dasani, Flavored Dasani, Barqs, Minute Maid, diet Minute Maid, and even Fanta and diet Fanta (weird, but awesome). From there, you can select one to see which flavors are available. For example, in the diet Fanta menu, I filled my cup up with two of the options: raspberry and grape. It was like drinking a Pixie Stix: delicious and kind of gross. Next, I tried the Diet Coke menu. Behold! Lime! Vanilla! Orange! Cherry! Raspberry! Soda heaven. Is this like Groupon, and I’m the last to know again? Or is this is cool as I think it is. Jump to see the Diet Coke menu. (more…)
