- Miley Cyrus got her boyfriend a penis cake and then decided to show him the proper way to eat it…like a friggin’ lady. Fun fact, she finished it in one bite. [TMZ]

Richard Wheeler has seen it all when it comes to dance club door policies. The former bouncer at Lavo had to keep a straight face while turning away disappointed club-goes, just because they had no style. As he loomed over the sea of Ed Hardy and Affliction tees, he realized there wasn’t a brand that catered to electronic dance music fans. It was at that moment HOUS was born. The t-shirt line uses humor and clever graphics to build a bridge between music and design and has already been worn by influential DJs, celebrities and tastemakers. Channel your inner raver and see both the men’s and women’s lookbooks after the jump.

When it comes to fashion, America has a checkered history of following trends. Sure, there have been the good — the Brit-Mod 60s, the wrap-dress 70s, the coke-bag 80s — but for every Mondrian shift there’s a Juicy Couture tracksuit. Whether imported or homegrown, these trends have created a blight on American fashion. By pointing them out FashionIndie hopes to do our patriotic duty to right the sartorial wrongs of our fore-mothers and fathers and build a better, fiercer future for the children. WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!

Getting a tan without getting a burn, for most, is a trick. Even trickier because we know that a burn is far worse than just a few days’ redness; it can lead to issues like cancer and wrinkles, and we simply don’t need that. If you’re like me, and you still love the feel of an oiled up bikini body and its end-of-day results, but know that it’s a bad bad thing, there are alternatives. There are products out there that are meant to enhance your browning capacity and cap the sunburn. Better yet, use an SPF 30 sunscreen as a base layer, and slick up afterwards. There are reasons you want both. So while you’re tanning under the Manhattan sun, here are some oils to try over the SPF.

You would expect a dentist to have healthy teeth, a math teacher to be able to do long division and a police officer to follow the law, wouldn’t you? So why are some designers so gosh darn sartorially-challenged? Though they may make beautiful clothing for a living, some of fashion’s greatest designers have some of the worst personal style. Just because they have a great eye for detail doesn’t mean they use that eye when getting ready in the morning, so here’s a spiteful list of 10 designers who could probably do well by rifling through their collections rather than their closets.

- This is something I wish I could say more oftem: a Chinese-run counterfeit fragrance operation was busted up in Las Vegas earlier this month. Shaoxia Huang, Shaoxiong Zhou and Shaowu Zhou were arrested in Sin City on March 2nd and they were indicted in Brooklyn on Tuesday for allegedly importing 37,000 units of counterfeit fragrances into the U.S. I was wondering why my Chanel Coco Mademoiselle smelled like wanton sauce.

Last week the Feds seized $100,000 worth of imitation goods in Abilene, Texas.
Sadly, this will NOT send a message to counterfeiters.
Known for rodeos and corn conversations at the local Wal-Mart, Abilene isn’t exactly a fashion capital of the world.
