BP To Plug Mel Gibson Next

Edited by The Fashion Web

BP has the opportunity to plug the other big hole.

Did you ever have one of those days where nothing seems to make you go mmmm? Far be it from me not to have an opinion on just about everything in today’s headlines, mind you. The Gulf Oil Spill is finally capped. It seems like that saga has gone on longer that than the War in Iraq. Yes, the gusher is sealed, yet there seemed to be no real celebratory hooray from the media. It took second spot to that Wall Street non-starter reform package. Here I thought it was all about the fact that whole areas of land and wildlife were being destroyed, families forced to move away and start new lives, America’s greatest disaster on record. And the response was like…”Ho hum”. Are we that desensitized to great news as opposed to the titanic response to let’s say, Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston’s engagement? How about the 80th newly released audio tape from that crazy lunatic Mel Gibson, kvetching about how broke and horny he is? My suggestion to BP executives and Hilary Rosen, their public relations point person, to combat the unending bad publicity caused by the spill, would be to use the same plugging device on Mel Gibson and watch how quickly the tide will turn for a positive spin. Imagine, a picture of Mel Gibson with a big BP plug in his mouth on the cover of People, Us Weekly, Star, The Huffington Post, Perez Hilton, D-Listed, Gawker. But what do I know?

I Wanna Go To Modeling Camp

“Mommy, Mommy, please, please.” Can you just imagine the amount of whining going on in the households of tweenagers across the U.S. when they discover that there is such thing as Modeling Camp? I am even pining to go. What fun would that be? Daily walk-offs, applying lipstick, vomiting…I’m there. The reactions from the readers of The Huffington Post is that of horror, comparing Modeling Camp to those scary pageants like the Universal Royalty Child Beauty Pageant that JonBenet Ramsey used to belong to. But I don’t think they are similar at all. Modeling and Beauty Pageants are two different animals altogether. What they teach you at beauty pageant school is nothing that you can use in real life. What…big hair and bugle beads? Not unless you are Debbie Reynolds does that figure into our current fashion landscape. At least with Modeling Camp there the intention to introduce kids to the business of modeling. Surely they do not cover, sleeping with the photographer in order to get new pictures. But you know what I mean.

Let’s face it, neither of these institutions are going anywhere. Even with all the recent exposés on child beauty pageants, including Kathy Griffin’s goof on Bravo’s My Life on the List, there will always be those chubby mid-western moms pushing their dainty, little, loved ones onto runways in Ramada Inns till the end of time. And as for models, well, they have fully come into their own thanks to Tyra Banks and heroin chic.

So do I…Oy.

Like Mother, Like Son!

MIA’s new born son is already making his way into the fashion headlines thanks to his baby Henry Holland outfit, which is modeled after the one his mother wore to the Grammys! I hope I can do the same for my kid some day!

The Bat Mitzvah Money Is Being Spent On Everything But Food

Edited by Corey Moran

Sorry ladies, but it’s not the kosher diet that is keeping all the Jewish girls stick thin. Apparently, the biggest epidemic in the Jewish community is anorexia. The original thought was that they were seeking to reach an unrealistic image as most women do, but it turns out that many are doing to get away from “looking Jewish”.  I think that the stereotypical Jewish mother is to blame for always being so hard on her daughter. Anorexia was quoted as “The Addiction Of Choice” for Jewish girls, an dI will say they are much worse addictions, but any addiction at all is not healthy.

If Jewish girls want to escape their Jewish features there are always nose jobs and chemically straightening your hair, but anorexia won’t help those. So all you harsh Jewish mothers out there, quit harassing your daughter about how they look, stop your penny pinching and buy your girls some food!
