Google scares the crap out of retailers with rumors they might enter the fashion world.

Inside: A very scary tweet.

YouTube’s CEO quit his job for fashion. The Internet mogul reportedly wants to focus more attention on his menswear label, Hlaska. Hey. If Kanye can leave music for fashion, why can’t Web geekers?

Is V Magazine Pornographic? Google Seems To Thinks So

Edited by Saynt

We’ve been getting a lot of slack lately for pushing the envelope in terms of the types of spreads we feature. Our answer is always the same “It’s Only Fashion.” Well it seems like another publication is getting some negative attention for showing a bit more skin than is deemed acceptable by the censors.

V Magazine has been listed as PORNOGRAPHY on searches produced by Google. What this means is that the dotcom for one of my favorite magazines is banned on nearly 50 million computers which use Net Nanny’s across the web. I get that their content could be a bit risque at times, but catergorizing this publication with the likes of Playboy, Hustler, and Barely Legal seems like a bit of a stretch Google.

I really just liked the image and needed a reason to repost. You can read the full story on The Cut, but it’s pretty boring unless you care about legal goodness and Google Bashing.

Google Me Baby. Spokesblogger Daniel Saynt Takes A Weekend Trip With His T-Mobile G1.

Edited by Saynt

I recently had the pleasure of being selected as a spokesblogger for the new T-Mobile G1 phone, you know that little Sidekick looking flip from the friendly gods at Google. While it was difficult to put down my iPhone for a weekend (where am I without you Steve Jobs), I gave the Android powered little device a go.

Since I’m all about applications, I headed to Android Market to grab any that were fashion related. I found two (though I hear that many more on the way) one called ShopSavvy, which is a shopping comparison services, and MyCloset, a program that lets you photograph your wardrobe and create outfits based off the images.

Since I was planning on skipping through the retail strip known as Madison Ave for some much needed recession-supported deals at Barneys, I took the flip with me on the trip. After mapping the trip using the phones Google maps, I made a beeline for the Mens Department to pick out some highly covetable Michael Bastian pieces. Using ShopSavvy I snapped a few barcodes and was taken to a couple of his pieces at Neiman Marcus, the deals weren’t as good as Barneys, but I decided to pass on the $660 dress shirts (maybe after I pay my rent).

I then checked my gmail and received an email featuring a sale on PegLeg. I took off and once again used maps to get me to Bowery to check out the sale. Didn’t pick up any goodness but got to talk to some people who were avids of the brand.

I snapped a few shots of the sale goodies and sent them to PR dude Corey Moran, who insisted on making his way down to the sale. Later I headed home to get to work on mapping my closet. As of writing, I’m still working on it (yeah, I’ve amassed a fairly large collection in my years). I haven’t picked up my iPhone in a few days, but I haven’t missed it as much as I thought.

Thanks T-Mobile for letting me check out your phone for a few, I’m definitely hearting it.

More Amazing Recession Deals

Walmart is offering $99 iPhones, so now at least middle America can Google Maps civilization (aka Manhattan) and see what it actually looks like! Why do you have to ruin everything? This is like giving a monkey a loaded gun.
