- New York Fashion Week is still openly racist, but the Asians are making headway on the runway. [Jezebel]
- To complement your Downton Abbey paper dolls, how’s about some Downton Abbey trading cards? I’ll trade you three Ediths for two Dowager Countesses and a Thomas. Okay, four Ediths. Five? [Vanity Fair]
- Reunited! And it feels so…horribly inappropriate. Proving that true love conquers all or that their stupidity knows no bounds, Chris Brown and Rihanna are apparently back together. At least in song…or rather, songs...

We got lusty over the glimpse of Marni x H&M earlier today in the Open Lab editorial, when not hours later, the entire collection shows up in my inbox. While it showing up in my real life mailbox in all its printed glory would have been far preferable, I’m sure that I, too, will have to battle the crowds when the Marni collaboration drops in 260 H&Ms worldwide on March 8th, 2012. See the collection right here. And stock up on brass knuckles for the line’s launch.

The bombshell is a creature at one with her sexuality — a lady, never a tramp, who uses her feminine wiles to seduce, control and if she so chooses, destroy. She’ll easily walk the fine line between good girl and trashbag and openly flirt with the dichotomy of Madonna and whore — and I’m not talking about that whore, Madonna. The bomnbshell is not merely a pretty face or a rockin’ bod — she’s a force to be reckoned with. It takes a little work, but anyone can learn the art of bombshelling. Just take a tip or three from the iconic bombshells of yore in these twelve classics films.

On the road to El Dorado in the Spring issue of Open Lab magazine, stylist Oliver Fussing was one of the first to fuss over the Marni x H&M collection. Shot by Simon B. Mørch on Elite‘s androgynous model (not the 17th century Austrian painter) Gustav Klimt, the Marni print shouts easy living on a wild ride. It’s like looking at the world through blue colored glasses (by Mykita x Moncler). See how they paired it with Pendelton, and pared it down with Weekday x Bruno Pieters. Hot collaborations all around.

Four words have damn near killed all sexiness on the runway: Downton Abbey. Mad Men. Actually, pattern mashing on hip padding with funny furry hats hasn’t helped. A barrage of wildly cool man-repelling looks sauntered down Fall 2012 runways, but sexy was rather difficult to locate. A straight man, who shall remain nameless, and I went through thousands of photos. Through a sea of “Eww”s and “Ugh”s and “I’d fire that designer”s, we found a handful of looks that qualify as sexy. Keep in mind, we mean sexy, not slutty, so all boob-bearing, thigh rising, skin tightening looks were overlooked. We’ll take curves that these designers presented, thank you. And while this Fall’s sexiest looks might not get your panties wet, they may just get your britches in a twist.
