RUMORS: Sarah Jessica Parker To Be The New Face Of Halston

Picture 4

Fashionista doesn’t like the news, and here’s why:

1. Halston is a disaster. Though we’re sure Marios Schwab will end its curse and do something brilliant, a brand can’t have a face for a collection that doesn’t exist (yet).

2. Last time Harvey chose a face, Rachel Zoe, to be associated with a brand, it failed. It really, really failed.

3. As if fashion wasn’t sick enough of celebrity, whatever comes down Lindsay Lohan’s runway for Ungaro this week will probably put off even the most celeb-friendly of the fashion world for a moment.

4. It’d be silly to pay Sarah Jessica Parker to be the face of a brand when Carrie Bradshaw’s been photographed wearing it all over Manhattan, for free, and will be seen on every screen in the same dresses come May.

Personally, I’m not specifically a fan of celebrity models, but maybe that’s just because I love models? What do you guys think of this new rumor?

WTF!?! Carrie Bradshaw  fashion

Now that watching Sex and the City reruns on TBS has become a regular habit of mine, I’ve come to notice something that somehow escaped me the first time around. Maybe it was the glamour and allure of the New York City backdrop, but, besides the fact that Carrie is a complete idiot, I’ve realized just how truly ugly her outfits were. And yet, it has made a celebrity out stylist Patricia “feeling-herself-too-much” Field who quite frankly, at her age needs a little Stacy and Clinton in her life. Having been responsible for Carrie’s signature haphazard style has for whatever reason has spurred Patricia-mania, and I have yet to buy the hype. But I digress.

Some may say Carrie’s wardrobe was eclectic, unique, even groundbreaking. And yes, there were moments when I literally salivated over a well put together, chic ensemble. But nine times out of ten, the clothes were nonsensical and excessive, if not schizophrenic. I’ll admit it’s gotten better over the years, and with movie number two on the way I can only hope Carrie’s outfits aren’t as skittish as her relationship with Big.

What do Claire Danes, Ashton Kutcher and Audrey Hepburn Have in Common?

They’ve all stared in some pretty horrendous GAP ads. We’ve collected thirty of our favorite ads and placed them on Don’tAdvertiserHere.com for your viewing pleasure. Whether it’s the limited release Spike Jonze directed ad in which the GAP gets trashed or the somber Mellow Yellow ads or the pre-Pirates Orlando Bloom spot, they’re all on. While watching you’ll quickly realized why you hated the GAP and come to terms with American Apparel’s rise to pornographic fame.

Here’s are four of our least favorites…



Ashton, Zooey, Jay and Scarlett love bike riding for the GAP.

Fash-o-rexics: UK Females Would Starve for Fashion!

Fash o rexics: UK Females Would Starve for Fashion! fashion

Fash o rexics: UK Females Would Starve for Fashion! fashion

A recent survey conducted by MyCelebrityFashion revealed that 49% of the British public spend more every month on their appearance than they do on food while 18% admitted to spending more than half their wages on clothes and accessories.

What’s even more interesting is that 32% of UK females confess that if push came to shove they’d prefer to go without food to nab that fashion “must-have”. As Carrie Bradshaw once said, sometimes she felt Vogue fed her more than dinner.

As distrusting as these figures are, it almost goes together. Think about it, the less you eat the more close you can buy, and the more “fashionable” you’ll look while drastically dropping in sizes. Not that I encourage this sort of behavior, I just unfortunately know too many of these fash-o-rexics that would rather buy the latest LV bag than eat a full meal (of course, a LV bag is more than just a few meals, it’s weeks without food).

Thanks MyFashionLIfe

I think this proves that SJP and her alter-ego Carrie Bradshaw have been on EVERY cover of EVERY magazine in the world.

The Cover: Photo circa 1998, minimal amount of photoshop. I’m pretty sure they put her head on someone elses’ body. It’s Russian Marie Claire, they aren’t on the top of anyone’s list.

The Decapitator Strikes!!!

The Decapitator Strikes!!! fashion

So I officially have a new hero. He goes by the moniker “The Decapitator”. He’s a street artist that has destroyed some of the most annoying ad campaigns the city has ever seen. He’s attacked Carrie Bradshaw, Kermit the Frog, the Uniqlo “cool kids”, and Ashley Tisdale of High School Musical. He may be my best friend. You can catch up with his work on his Flickr account.

I wonder if I can order a hit or two on some more of my least favorite people?

Gossip Girls and The Hills if you reading Decapitator.

SJP/ Carrie Bradshaw For São Paulo

Sarah Jessica Parker shot this commercial to “up” tourism in São Paulo, Brazil, in which she basically runs around the open air mall and pretends to be Carrie Bradshaw, again (or at least I can’t tell the two apart any more). Reportedly, she was paid over $600,000, so between the old GAP Christmas commercials and this, she no longer needs to do bad movies (and still be making more money than her hubby).

If you really want to get in good with fashion people then you better know as many facts as possible about their favorite superhero, Carrie Bradshaw and her less fabulous alternate ego, Sarah Jessica Parker. The origin of this fashion heroine can be traced to the early 90’s, when failed actress Parker was down on her luck and ready to put an end to her dreams of A-list stardom. Movie roles had dried up and her days as a precocious teenager on “” were far behind her. While on the shoot for the Lifetime movie, “Breast Cancer, Retarded Babies, Divorce and The Day I Got Raped” Parker was visited by an old gypsy from the ancient kingdom of Lesbonia by the name of Patricia Fields. The gypsy handed Parker a mystical stiletto that when put on would instantly transform her into a famous fashion icon, but she warned that a curse was upon the shoes and in the process she would completely be typecast and would only see success in the role of one character. Parker instantly removed the fake pregnant belly and bald cap she had donned for her upcoming scene and put on the fateful footwear. Instantly, Parker’s frizzy locks straightened, her monster snooze shrunk, and her mind became filled with the supreme knowledge of couture and the full years schedule of international fashion weeks.

As Carrie Bradshaw, Parker was hired to play Candice Bushnell on an HBO show based on her New York Observer column, Sex and the City. The producers loved Carrie Bradshaw’s name so much, they decided to keep it, and Carrie Bradshaw’s name made it’s first connection to fame. The show was an instant success, thanks in major part to Parker suggesting that the old gypsy be brought on as costume designer. Women and gay men everywhere (so basically the whole fashion world) instantly fell in love with Carrie Bradshaw, making the show a massive hit. When the show went off the air, fashion people were devastated thinking their hero would be gone forever, but like any good comic hero death (Batman, Spiderman, Superman) Parker, dressed as Carrie, returned with a perfume, a fashion line for Dave & Barry’s, and multiple ad campaigns for the GAP (okay so most of those sounded more like Parker moves, but can you blame her for trying to make a buck). Parker was quickly feeling the sting of not being Carrie Bradshaw. In an attempt to test the gypsies curse she decided to make movies as Sarah Jessica Parker. Each attempt led to box office failure and it seemed that Sarah would slowly recede back into fame obscurity, only remembered as that fashion heroine from long ago.

Not wanting to be completely forgotten, Parker launched a campaign for the return of Carrie Bradshaw and Sex and the City. A team of writers were brought on to bring back the famous television show and create a story line that would completely ignore the happy endings told at the end of the series, opening new wounds and positioning its telling as a movie which would give Parker her first Hollywood blockbuster ever. Carrie Bradshaw’s face would be planted everywhere and her glorious return would be announced to her adorning fashion public. The gypsy was once again on hand (causing her to leave new Carrie in training Lucy Liu) and was asked to bring upon a new era of Carrie, a longer lasting era which would forever place her in the ethos of fashion. The gypsy brought 82 costume changes.

Stuff Fashion People Like #23 Carrie Jessica Bradshaw fashion

The movie hit theaters and the rest will surely be history as Carrie Bradshaw continues to slowly replace the actress once known as Sarah Jessica Parker. Wait, you thought this was a happy ending. Nah, son. That stiletto the gypsy gave her was actually a parasitic symbiote, similar to that black goo that tries to take over mild-mannered Peter Parker in Spiderman 3 and eventually creates Venom. Sarah Jessica Parker has been long gone, I think the last time she was seen was in that movie “The Family Stone” in which she played an unstylish New Yorker. After that shit fest, Sarah gave up on being her own person and Carrie Bradshaw won. You see the gypsy was really a witch, the stiletto a demonic spell, and the rest was just an Academy Award for Patricia Fields.

Where’s Parkers Oscar? Good question.

The moral of the story kids is beware of gypsies. They’ll get you every time.

Ten Ways Sex and the City Judo Kicks Women in the Vagina

Last night I was dragged (also see jump with giddy glee when a third midnight showing was added to our local theater) to the Sex and the City movie. My expectations were low, since I was imagining a very, very long season finally of a show that had ended well enough by itself, with no real story lines open and no reason to continue the tale of four Manhattanite women who had found love in the Big Apple, I didn’t understand why they would try to continue the story if for no other reason than to cash out with a major payday

I’m glad I went cause there is one big thing all you women need to know about this movie, IT IS ANTI-FEMINIST PROPAGANDA WRAPPED UP IN A PRODUCT PLACEMENT SHIT BALL.

Here are ten things I learned about my fellow “weaker vessel” from watching this flick. If this becomes the biggest female driven movie of the year it will be the equivalent of taking a major, massive step-back for womanhood. Don’t take your boyfriend/fiance to see this cause his view of you will change the instant Carrie hits the screen.

So without further ado why Sex and the City the movie kicks women in the vagina. If you haven’t seen the movie, don’t read further.

Ten Ways Sex and the City Judo Kicks Women in the Vagina fashion

1. Men Cheat. Forgive Them. Miranda fucks up her marriage by being a cold fish in bed, not shaving, and being the usual man hating bitch she is portrayed to be. Steve cheats in a random moment of desperation, cause men will do this if you don’t fuck them, and Miranda leaves him for almost a year. It’s all better later cause Miranda realizes that eating Chinese food at New Years is no way for a women in her 40’s to spend her life. He cheated, but it is justified because Miranda doesn’t give him pussy.

As a dude, I realize that this might be a good reason to leave someone, but what happens the next time there’s a dry spell, what happened to the open communication factor which should prevent this type of shit from happening in a relationship, what will prevent him from doing it again, NOTHING. Men were granted by god the ability to cum faster than women so that they can get their rocks off in a morning with a quick hand gesture. The villain in this story is Miranda, who all the girls believe has screwed up her life cause she let a “good man” get away. The cheater becomes the victim, which is what happens when a man writes a chick flick. MEN 1. WOMEN 0.

2. Men Will Leave Your Ass at the Alter. Forgive Them. When Big decides to skip out on the wedding, Carrie freaks the fuck out. She becomes a sad little recluse and for the first time you see her without make-up (close your eyes at this point indies, it ain’t pretty). Instead of Mr.Big being a man about it and heading to Carrie’s apartment and begging for forgiveness he shoots her emails. EMAILS!!!! Really dude. Number one, Carrie is notoriously electronically challenged and the best he can come up with are emails, two, you skipped out on the FIRST wedding of a 40 year old woman who has loved and cared for you forever and three, the emails feature love letters from famous writers which you most likely copy and pasted in.

When Carrie discovers the emails she gets all flustered and takes him back. “Happy” ending.

After seasons of treating Carrie like a secret mistress his final show of “love” to her was hoping she didn’t send him to her junk box. Ill. If any of you women out there would fall for this sorried attempt at redemption, you’re complete idiots who deserve to get cheated on. Grow the fuck up. It ain’t love if it makes you cry. MEN 2. WOMEN 0.

Samantha Jones

3. Samantha Would Rather Eat Than Cheat. In the final chapter of the movie Samantha becomes hungry for a new cock. Instead of just fucking someone and giving this movie a little jolt of female empowerment, she decides to eat. While cheating is obviously not ok, it would have passed my judgment radar in a movie that featured two pricks getting away with their sins. Samantha plumps up for “love” and the result is disastrous, which follows in the typical line of thought this movie was pushing out about women, destroy yourself before you destroy your relationship. BEN & JERRY’S 3. WOMEN 0.

4. Marriage Ain’t About Love. When Big and Carrie decide to get married (the first time) there is no ring, no kneeling on one knee, just a very frank conversation about Carrie fearing she might get thrown out with yesterdays newspaper when Big wants a newer and younger model. Is that what marriage has become? A business contract. Any man who sees this will think twice about proposing and as Carrie gets caught up in the marriage fluff, her attention to Big falters. So remember girls, marriage ain’t about love it’s about heading to city hall and making it official. Thank god. I think I just saved $20 grand on my nuptials.

Actually, take that back Becks is giving me the stink eye right now. Love you baby. MEN 4. WOMEN 0.

Ten Ways Sex and the City Judo Kicks Women in the Vagina fashion

5. If He Takes You Back Up and Leave NY. Underutilized Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson plays Carries assistant in the film. Her back story is that she’s in New York to find “love”. Puke and vomit. Number one there’s no “love” in New York (present company excluded) and coming here for it is like heading Alaska for a snow cone, laborious and completely unnecessary. If any of you single losers start flooding the streets expecting to find love in this city, realize that all the men here are way to into their careers to notice you and/or are ass munching homos. That’s it. Nothing else.

Which is why Jennifer is so desperate to fly back home and leave her “new life” in the city when her ex-love decides he wants to try out the relationship thing again. They get married. She gets pregnant and in a few years she wonders what it would have been like to be single and in NYC again. She then leaves him and finds her real Mr.Big. Okay, the last parts a lie, but you know it’ll happen. But basically, if you can’t make it here, there’s always that back-up dude you left behind. MEN 5. WOMEN 0.

6. Good Men are Fat, Bald Jews. Charlotte’s husband is the only one who manages to remain unscathed through this movie. He’s a good husband who fucks his wife 4-5 times a week, is able to get her barren womb knocked up, and big surprise, he doesn’t cheat. Thats right ladies, if all else fails, settle for the fat, bald jewish dude who will be a zero to your ten. Mazel Tov!!! RABBI FATTY 6. WOMEN 0.

7. Any Voids In Your Life Can Be Filled with Shopping. Women don’t need love. They just need access to a Saks Fifth Avenue. Honestly, is this the message you want portrayed? MANOLO BLAHNIK 7. WOMEN 0.

Ten Ways Sex and the City Judo Kicks Women in the Vagina fashion

8. If That Fails There’s Always Dogs. The overall message was if you can’t find love, find replacements. I’m not so sure if that’s anti-fem, but it really doesn’t put you ladies in a good light, almost as if you are not whole until you have one of us in your life. Samantha adopts a randy little puppy when things with her and Smith start going sour. The dog pays her the attention she desires and acts like a crutch to keep their relationship going. FIDO 8. WOMEN 0.

9. Smith’s Got 99 Problems but a Bitch Ain’t One. When Samantha finally reveals to Smith that she wants out of the relationship he doesn’t try to fight for her, actually barely changes the tone of his voice. In what was the easiest break-up ever, Smith just let’s Samantha walk out of their life together. A five year relationship ends in a whimper. I’ve never seen a man in a movie act so laissez faire about a break up, guess that’s what happens when your hot and know you can get some tomorrow from that craft services girl you’ve been flirting with for months (didn’t happen, but come on). Out with the old and in with the new pussy. If you feeling like a pimp, go brush your shoulders off. JAY Z 9. WOMEN 0.

10. Men Will Cheat If You Don’t Wax. Seriously, we will. MEN 10. WOMEN 0.

So ladies, if you’re expecting Sex to be anything else than a really long issue of the Bloomingdales catologue you are fresh out of luck. The fashions are more notable than the story line cause in the end none of the characters grow and we’re left in the same situation we were left in at the shows finally. Carrie and Big are together. Charlotte and Jew Ball are together. Miranda and Steve are together. The only difference this time around is that Samantha will die old and lonely.  Wow, that was a shocker.

Oh yeah, and Vogue is a fucking bitch. Goddamn are those assholes nasty. Love you Andre Leon Fatty.

Carrie Bradshaw and her Doppelganger Sarah Jessica Parker

Carrie Bradshaw and her Doppelganger Sarah Jessica Parker fashion

In ‘I-Sould-Have-Seen-This-Coming’ News

Sarah Jessica Parker will be on the cover of May’s Vogue.

Oh, hope I didn’t ruin that ’surprise’ for you. But then again every other detail about the upcoming Sex and the City movie has been leaked.

Yes, after Gisele Bundchen and Lebron James for the Shape Issue, Sarah Jessica Parker will grace the cover for the Over-Rated Fashion Icon Issue. Okay so the month of May does not have a special title for it’s issue, but if it did, this certainly would be it.

All last week, people frequenting the Upper East Side could catch SJP, Chris Noth, Annie Leibowitz and a crew of about 15, stopping traffic trying to recreate the impractical reality that is Carrie Bradshaw’s life.

 

 

Carrie Bradshaw and her Doppelganger Sarah Jessica Parker fashionCarrie Bradshaw and her Doppelganger Sarah Jessica Parker fashion

See the reality is, there IS NO Carrie Bradshaw. She is a fictional character played by Sarah Jessica Parker. Unfortunately, many people have a hard time making this distinction.  Of course we at Fashion Indie, try our best to point out “fakes” as much as possible so I am here to help see the difference between Sarah Jessica Barker and the fictional character she has been so appropriately typecast as, “Carrie Bradshaw”

Sarah Jessica Parker

This is Sarah Jessica Parker. Notice the jeans and tee shirt. Ya see, it’s hard to look glamorous all the time, especially when you’re juggling kids, a husband, and a career. Sarah Jessica Parker’s look is laid back and simple. She doesn’t blow her rent checks on shoes, she’s not a trend starting fashion icon, she’s just an actress who was blessed with a role of a lifetime.

 

Carrie Bradshaw and her Doppelganger Sarah Jessica Parker fashion Carrie Bradshaw and her Doppelganger Sarah Jessica Parker fashion

This is Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw tripping on her long designer gown on the steps of Lincoln Center, something Carrie Bradshaw would have never let happen!  See, it’s not easy being fashionable. It takes years of training and the grace of a Russian ballerina.

Now I’m not saying that this issue is going to bad. This looks like it’s actually going to be a decent month of Vogue. But then again it’s pretty hard to mess this up.

 

Carrie Bradshaw and her Doppelganger Sarah Jessica Parker fashionCarrie Bradshaw and her Doppelganger Sarah Jessica Parker fashion

I suppose the problem I have with this is not the subject itself, but rather it’s affect. I can only imagine the gaggle of women from Staten and Long Island who will clutch this issue, like they’ve found mecca, explaining to their boyfriends why they are more like Carrie then any of their friends. And clogging the streets of SOHO on Saturdays, walking four in row each putting on their best Carrie face in their Nine West shoes.  Wake up ladies, although it is sad to say, Carrie does not exist.
