Anyone who was in middle school or high school within the last 10 years probably remembers the Jelly Bands trend that engulfed America. They might sound innocent, but Jelly Bands had a bad reputation for being pending sexual favors if another could snap or break the bracelet off the wearers wrist. Black= sex, Blue= oral sex, Red= perform a lap dance…the carnal list goes on and on.
But as of late, the colored, animal shaped Silly Bandz have become a fad among the elementary and middle school crowds. For the sake of their innocence, let’s hope the cute little elephants and tigers don’t become the sex symbols that Jelly Bands once were…

Anyone who pays attention to models probably noticed that Cole Mohr and Luke Worrall aren’t just chummy for the sake of sanity during Fashion Week. Not only do the boys oftentimes appear together in spreads and editorials but they’ve been seen goofing off in many a candid photo as well. Like two drunk girls on spring break, it appears that Cole and Luke got matching “BB” tattoos. I guess now we just have to decipher what the tattoo stands for…Blood Brothers? Bad Boys? Big Boobies?

Like the majority of New York City, the Fashion Indie crew is obsessed with Apple products. We love our Macbooks, iPhones, iPods and soon to have iPads, but as bloggers and social media aficionados we’re constantly abusing these products; you know, dripping coffee on our keyboards, tossing our phones in bags and sitting on our iPods.
Lucky for us, iSkin has every protective product necessary to keep the technologies we can’t live (or blog) without protected and in top condition. From ProTouch keyboard covers to mirror-screened iPhone cases, iSkin products for perfect for people on the go who might not necessarily be uber conscious when it comes to protecting their Apple goods.

I just got my Barneys Co-Op Spring 2010 catalogue in the mail, and without a doubt, I was thrilled to see the ever-fabulous Cole Mohr running-a-muck alongside his model colleagues Jethro Cave and Arthur Daniyarov. The boys certainly add to the awesomeness that is the variety of spring duds they’re wearing. From Thom Browne to Rag & Bone and Rag & Bone to Surface to Air, Barneys’ menswear is looking hot this spring!

I used to buy all of my button-up shirts from Brooks Brothers simply because they fit well and come in a variety of colors and patterns. But after today’s incident, we’ll be lucky if I ever set foot in that store again. Behold exhibit A, a 3-inch rip down one of the stripes on my favorite button-up. Unless the fashion gods are trying to tell me I ought to drop a few pounds, there is absolutely NO REASON why this shirt should have ripped so intensely from merely reaching for a glass of water 2-feet away.

When Glamour Beauty asked Snooki from MTV’s The Jersey Shore what her favorite hair products were, this is what she had to say:
“I love dry shampoo because it doesn’t leave your hair sticky and pretty much holds it better. I just spent like $80 on dry shampoo. I don’t even need to tease my hair or do anything, because if you feel my hair it’s very thick. So when I get out of the shower, I just let it dry and put it up in a poof–it takes two seconds. And I do not use a Bumpit. When I first saw the commercial a year ago I ordered it right away. I was so excited to get it in the mail, I put it in my hair, then I started walking down the hallway and it fell out–it didn’t stay in my hair!”
