Colombian women of all ages seek out the coveted hourglass figure of the Latina bombshell, in hopes of a better life and a better sense of self. Butt, at what cost? While gluteoplasty — i.e. butt implants — cost about a third of what they would in the U.S., some women risk everything, even their lives, in the pursuit of gluteal perfection. Duboc witnesses one of these surgeries for herself when a rather ravishing 45-year-old woman goes under the knife.  ”If you’re squeamish you might find it challenging to watch through til the end!” Duboc warns, and it really is harrowing/disgusting/vomit-inducing watching a doctor gingerly shove a piece of plastic into a sedated butt cheek. After all was said and done, however, Duboc admitted to feeling a bit of “ass-envy.”

Those familiar with smoking weed, aka ganja, aka reefer, aka Mary Jane, aka giggle leaf — which is certainly no one at FashionIndie — might recognize this as a “pipe.” One end is a bowl with a filter and the other end has a little bead that when unscrewed reveals the mouthpiece. But these little beauties aren’t just for marijuana — though if anyone asks you they’re solely for tobacco.

Innovative low-lives can hide any number of drugs in there “such as crack, heroin or prescription pills.” There’s nothing I love more than functional jewelry. And it comes in a necklace too!

For $40, you too can carry your drug habit in the open air, however my only gripe is the design. It’s so, how do you say, god awfully ugly. Maybe we can get Prada to make one out of crocodile and emeralds. How classy would you feel getting high on that supply? [Gawker via WTSP]

The collaboration features totes, t-shirts, baseball caps, posters, and iPhone covers.  The collection is inspired by Coke’s rich tradition a including  signature slogans, logos, and images. They even went into they’re archives and revived an old Coke symbol from the 1910′s and put them on the baseball caps which are also in the same style of the times.

Cuan Hanly, VP/GM of Jack Spade, said “Given both Jack Spade’s and Coca-Cola’s heritage in design, pop culture, and whimsy, we feel the products truly represent this.”

Here are some really cool tips from Verdi:

1. Instant photos make great place cards- take your guests photo with a Fuji Instax camera as they arrive and set their spot on the table.

2. Cored apples can make great candle holders.

3. Mismatch dessert plates then mix with all white dishes for a change at the table.

4. Crayons and paper are a creative way to keep kids at the table.

5. Instead of preparing dessert yourself, serve mini cupcakes and have your guests decorate their own.

6. Use spread rose petals as your table runner.

7. Fill a glass bowl with pomegranates as decor or garnish your salad or soup with pomegranate seeds. Fill a glass bowl with pomegranates as decor or garnish your salad or soup with pomegranate seeds.

8. Make a red holiday treat station with red colored treats such as red Twizzlers, Swedish fish, red M&M’s etc…

9.  Have a Coca-Cola drink station because it is an essential drink mixer and stands deliciously on its own.

10. Gives guests a gift like Williams Sonoma hot chocolate wrapped in a parer bag and tied with a cute ribbon.

Coca-Cola that is.  What else could we have been talking about?

Uncle Karl is now putting his stamp on the beverage world. He was asked by the soda company to design a special edition aluminum bottle for their product Coca-Cola Light. This being said he slapped a  on a silhouette of himself, signed the bottom of the bottle and called it a day.  If you order this bottle in a box set you at least get an interesting looking box that contains a bottle opener. If you would like one of these they can be pre-ordered here.

Coke on the Runway? Yeah, you never see it but you know what’s happening backstage. Oh, wait, Coca Cola?!? Yeah, I guess that makes more sense.

It’s Fashion Week in Milan, Italy and yesterday instead of models with hour-glass figures, the models were shaped like Coke bottles. That’s because they WERE Coke bottles…

Coca-Cola Italy, in collaboration with The Abruzzo Charity Project enlisted 8 female designers to design sleeves for a limited amount of “Coca-Cola Light” bottles (Italy’s version of Diet Coke) to be available starting September 25th. Donatella Versace, Alberta Ferretti, Anna Molinari from Blumarine, Veronica Etro, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Marni’s Consuelo Castiglioni, Angela Missoni and Rossella Jardini at Moschino were the designers asked to participate, they said yes and the result is fabulous. 

The proceeds will be used by The Abruzzo Charity Project to help people/families affect by the devastating earthquake last year.

They kicked off the project at Fashion Week on Friday by showing the designs on the runway in the form of Coke bottles walking the runway…great idea.

“Moschino”

“Missoni”

“Marni”

“Fendi”

“Etro”

“Alberta Ferretti”

“Blumarine” (My favorite of the designs)

“Donatella Versace”

Last year at the exact same time, Coca-Cola asked Roberto Cavalli to design bottles featuring his staple animal spots and stripes and it was very successful. This was the amazing result:

Oh how I wish these bottles were available here in the US. I may have to plan a trip back to my family’s homeland, see some relatives and enjoy a designer bottle of soda…

Listen up fashionistas, shit stains are out, coke stains are IN!!!!

Seriously, what the hell Star Magazine. Lindsay Lohan has what appears to be a booger or glare from the flashing paparazzi that’s all up in her grill and you instantly assume that she’s HOPELESS!!! Christo that’s ridiculous. I wish the curse of celebrity upon no one, not even my worst enemy (you know who you are…).

F.I.T. kids will have to head to another source to get their Finals Fix.

Two F.I.T. students were all giggles when they got arrested by undercover cops for selling coke inside of their Fashion Institute dorms.

Christine Scafe, 22, and Mickenzie Dippenworth, 21, were a bit shocked they were getting arrested but still had a chance to make some jokes. Scafa told reporters “We’re not Plaxico Burress!”

I always asssumed the best coke comes from NYU, guess I was wrong.

The girls will probably spend a good amount of time in jail for being complete idiots. I’d personally rather see them jailed for claiming to be fashion students while wearing bubble jackets and khakis in public…

Patty Fields just created a new collection of custom Diet Coke bottles for Great Britain’s Sefridges stores.  She joins designers Julian MacDonald, Matthew Williamson, Jonathan Saunders and Manolo Blahnik, who have each lent their talents to Coca-Cola.

In true Gwen Stefani-knock off style, each of her harijuku bottles have a different names; gold is “Career”, red is “Passion”, pink is “Love”, and turquoise is “Damn, I Wish My Main Claim to Fame Wasn’t Dressing Slutty, Self Absorbed 40-50 year Olds in Outfits Made for 20 Year Olds”, um, I mean “Fashion”.

You can’t get the bottles here. Although I’m sure if you asked nicely at Patty’s store on Bowery, she just might have some of the bottles hiding in the back along with Cynthia Nixon’s “straight” clothes, photo’s of Darren Star in compromising situations with every gay cast member of “Sex”, and the final episodes of Cashmere Mafia.  You can keep Lucy Lui, just give us some more Cashmere Mafia!!! (Yes, Daniel Saynt is secretly addicted to Cashmere Mafia. He is not proud of it and he is currently seeking refuge at Promises to ween him off his addiction.)
