Fashion is a trip. But some fashion is trippier than others. It’s those distinct looks in a collection that make your eyes pop a little wider as they expand your consciousness to accept grander philosophies of the universe. This season was rife with designers experimenting with wild menswear, and we’re glad to see the rougher sex getting freaky with the Avant Garde.

Everyone has been to at least one ugly Christmas sweater party in his or her day. You scour the racks at Goodwill and Salvation Army until a fluff ball, glitter puff paint, Santa face-adorned piece of knitwear pops up for the pickin’.

I was way too involved in a Twin Peaks marathon yesterday evening to even consider watching the 2011 VMAs, but curiosity got the best of me this morning after finding out Beyoncé is pregnant. Trash usually trumps triumph at any MTV event, and the red carpet stayed true to this formula at last night’s show. There were some highs*, and many lows, and we’re here to talk about them all in this VMA edition of Red Carpet Report Card.

Today is a day for patriotism. And colors typically reserved for the 4th of July should be in full regal! Feel free (and that’s the point of all of this, isn’t it?) to wear Red White and Blue today to show support for our country. Osama Bin Laden is dead. Justice has been done.
