Fashion WTF: The Mouche
What happened to just using your liquid eyeliner and trying your hardest to make the most symmetrical black dot on your cheek so that you may channel your inner Dita Von Teese? Apparently, jewelry designer Sabrina Dehoff likes to kick it old school with her reincarnation of the mouche, which loosely translated means “beauty spot”. Literally translated, it means “fly”. Okay. The mouche goes all the way back to the 17th century when both men and women adorned their faces with small pieces of cloth that were made out of velvet or silk and cut into fanciful shapes. They were meant to enhance facial features, conceal disfigurement from smallpox (gross) and improve a poor complexion. The placement of the mouche was indicative of a woman’s marital status or sexual mood. ‘Man, I knew Sally was a hoe…peep that mouche on the left side of her forehead.
Dehoff’s version is somewhat updated with a gold plated collection that includes, hearts, bows and guns. A gun above your upper lip? As au courant as that sounds, I’m on the fence with this one. I’ve always had love for the fake beauty mark and the way it manages to project glamour and allure at any given moment, but these kinda remind me of those jewel-like face stickers we used to wear back in middle school. Would ya wear these?
Design Collaborations: Marilyn Monroe & Blue Clothing
U.S based Bradford Licensing Associates (which owns Marilyn Monroe) has teamed up with with UK label Blue Clothing to create a complete collection of young adult fashions under the late screen siren’s name.
“We have had the most success with apparel licenses specifically focusing on the retro look, so we think that Blues Clothing will follow in the same direction. We expect the line to be trendy, fashionable and girly just like Marilyn was in person,” says Michelle Minieri, president of Bradford Licensing.
The new line, which will feature T-shirts, tops, dresses, pants, and intimates, will debut in France in early 2009.

Sex Tapes Are A Girls Best Friend
A Marilyn Monroe sex tape from the 1950’s has just sold for $1.5 million dollars to a New York businessman. The steamy tape is s FBI-classified reel with 15 minutes of the blond bombshell performing oral sex on an unidentified man (it’s called felacio). The tape may be the most expensive celebrity sex tape per minute clocking in at $100k for ever 60 seconds of action.
What really gets me going is the person who bought it? Who has a $1.5 million dollars to blast on porn? Plus, does this little scandal now shoot Marilyn up to Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian fame? Can someone give her a reality series already!!!
On a sidenote, this is definitely shaping up to be Marilyn’s year. She was in a Superbowl ad for Sunsilk, her impersonator is in Mister Lonely a new movie directed by the dude who made Kids, Lindsay Lohan and Micheal Musto paid homage to her last photo shoot, and now a sex tape!!! For someone who’s been tramping it up with JFK’s ghost for years it’s amazing to see she has more staying power than Biggie and Tupac combined!!!
an homage to an homage
Here at Fashion Indie we can’t get over these genius photos of Village Voice mascot Michael Musto making fun of the Lindsay Lohan’s homage to Marilyn Monroe.
For someone who just wants to be taken seriously for their acting, she’s doing everything in her power to seem like a narcissistic-vapid-jackass. And as we know that’s what Rumer Willis is for.
Want people to take you seriously? Stop doing things like this, that make it so easy for people lampoon you. Less time on E! News and more time on Charlie Rose!
