- Proving that she’s been shutting shit down for several decades, Michelle Obama‘s prom photo has recently surfaced and we’re talking satin, a thigh-high slit and décolletage for days. Take a note, trash. Meanwhile, Barack sure looked different back in the day — this must have been before he stopped smoking pot. [Telegraph]

Barbie Trashes Her Dreamhouse

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Who knew Barbie was a hoarder and her Dreamhouse a sh*thole? Inspired by TV shows like Hoarders and How Clean Is Your House?, artist Carrie M. Becker put together this miniature trashed living space to link the doll’s overconsumption lifestyle with a hoarder’s reality. The details are astonishing and actually quite disgusting, which is why we are obsessing over it. Looking at the photos is like a Where’s Waldo? game. Can you find the Chanel and Gucci bags?

New Year, New ‘Do: Kim Kardashian Got Bangs

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Kim Kardashian rang in the year 2012 with a bang, and we are talking about her hair. The recent divorcé celebrated New Year’s Eve at Tao Las Vegas with newly cut fringe and a hefty paycheck – she reportedly made $600,000 just for attending the party. Though all this information makes me incredibly nauseous, I must say the bangs suit her. She went from banging Kris Humphries to banging herself on NYE and hey, I guess she looks pretty good.

Even Elephants are Getting Pedicures for NYE

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Okay, so maybe these elephants weren’t getting their nails did for New Year’s Eve per se, but they did get all dolled-up in Nepal for a three-day, elephant-themed festival. Bright colors were lacquered on their tootsies with a paintbrush as bright, beautiful designs were drawn on their faces. The festival was held to encourage Nepal tourism and raise awareness about preservation efforts. It included such events like an elephant beauty pageant, elephant soccer and elephant races. But we’re more interested in the types of nail art that could happen with toenails this big! See photos after the jump.

To Gain or to Lose?: Victoria’s Secret Models’ Pre-Show Diets

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

What goes down when it’s mere six weeks before the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and the Angels need to start prepping their already gorgeous bods for the big day. You’d think consuming only liquids and lettuce would be enough, but their regimens are much more intense. While a gal like Adriana Lima follows a very strict diet in the time leading up to a show, Chanel Iman gains 15 pounds for the occasion.

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

The adorably handsome Ottavio “Tai” Missoni outshines all these silly young models running about the fashion world. The founder of Missoni turned 90 this year, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to make him a star in the newest campaign.

The Huffington Post Not Scared of Anna Wintour

Edited by Lauren Garroni

It’s like I always say ‘You Don’t Fuck with Anna Wintour.’ If she demands your first child, you better give her your first born pronto. Evidently politico-blog ‘The Huffington Post’ doesn’t know of my mantra. Because yesterday they posted this feature on the most powerful women in fashion

Vogue editor Anna Wintour is the international arbiter of fashion, recognized in an instant by her haircut and large sunglasses. But what does she really look like? Thanks to the strength of today’s digital cameras and the below AP photo from Thursday’s Tommy Hilfiger show, cropped several ways to show every pixel, now you can know.

And then they proceeded to display blown up photos of Miss. Wintour non-botoxed face and tennis-toned arms. All in poor taste, but I will show ya the photos anyway.

Sounds like Miss. Wintour is going to have a Huff-o writer’s head.
