Cosmo May 2012, "The Sex Issue"...as compared to every other month?

Though both parties refused to offer up any more info on the project, the mag’s fashion director Michelle McCool was spotted at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on her way to Penney’s Plano, Texas HQ where she and other Cosmo-nauts are overseeing the design of the line.

Also reportedly in the works, TV content highlighting the Cosmo-Penney collaboration for Hearst‘s new “Hello Style” YouTube channel. [WWD]

Cosmo May 2012, "The Sex Issue"...as compared to every other month?

The channel is part of YouTube’s $100 million initiative to produce higher quality content in conjunction with other media companies in an effort to attract bigger and better advertisers who might not be so enamored with videos of dogs doing the darnest things and tweens sincerely singing Adele off-key into their computer screens .

YouTube provided Hearst with $10 million to start-up the channel, but the publisher will determine the content, which will be more plot-oriented than past online media and inspired by its magazine’s print features. So you can look forward to (?) video versions of Cosmo‘s “Sexy vs. Skanky” and Marie Claire‘s “Big Girl in a Skinny World.”

Seriously. Hello BadIdea.

Hearst is also launching a Car and Driver channel on May 1 to appeal to its man magazine demographic that will feature a mix of service and reality shows such as Driver Rehab and Battle of the Beaters. The latter, to my chagrin, is not about the joys of self-service but about two auto body shops competing to fix up old cars.

Why they didn’t call it Jalopy Seconds I’ll never know. [AdWeek]

Take a minute to gather yourself… and now consider this:
Giving the Facial Flex as a Mother’s Day present is only slightly backhanded, but a tight pretty face might just be the greatest gift of all.

In partnership with Google, the organizers of TGC have created a custom platform to live-stream on YouTube, broadcasting not only the fashion show, but also backstage footage and interviews with the models. Unfortunately, if any of the looks strike your fancy, you’re shit out of luck. That is unless you live in Japan; deliveries are limited to the Land of the Rising Sun.

Though specializing in fast-fashion, TGC will enter the luxury lane thanks to another lucrative partner: Vogue. Vogue Girl, a stand-alone publication, will hit Japanese newsstands on March 12; but before then, Vogue Girl will mount a special fashion show, combining local fast-fashion brands with luxury accessories from the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Fendi and Marc Jacobs.

I wonder, with Tokyo Girl Collection crossing the cybernetic seas, if we can expect a similar event here in the states? I mean, Fashion Week could only benefit from a little J-pop.

See what else Miley has to say on the March 2011 issue of Marie Claire.

Billy Ray’s strong words to Miley via tweet:

Apparently Papa Cyrus was too sad to use proper punctuation.

Meanwhile, Anthony Adams, a former California State Assembleyman is taking Miley’s public faux pas as an opportunity to reintroduce a bill he supported in 2007 that would classify salvia as a Schedule I controlled substance, like marijuana and LSD.

Adams claims that Miley’s celebrity would spur youth to “emulate her behavior.” And that’s the last thing anyone wants. Slutty 12 year olds not wearing panties, toking up on camera and making shitty pop music.

What do you do after selling to Google for $1.65 billion and get tired of pointing and clicking? You dive into fashion! YouTube CEO & Co-Founder Chad Hurley is set to take the plunge. The Internet to fashion crossover may seem completely random, but Hurley doesn’t think so.

“We make wallets, bags and shirts we’d want to see sold in stores. In that sense, it’s exactly like YouTube. We wanted something that wasn’t available, so we built it ourselves.”

I haven’t seen Hurley’s designs yet, but if anybody can create a buzz that “goes viral,” it’s this guy.

Justin Bieber is a close second, however his video for “Baby” is still the Most-Viewed Video of All Time.That’s a lot of…okay, I’ve never actually seen any Justin Bieber videos, but I’ll assume it’s a lot of hair gel, tweenaged girls and Ludacris.

Somehow that seems way more than enough.

In other news, remember when artists sold albums? Yeah, me neither.

You really see a different side of GaGa in this ENVY Video!!!

When the Sesame Street folks tested out a video of Katy Perry on YouTube they received quite the negative feedback. The video features the star singing with Elmo in an edited version of “Hot N Cold” as she plays dress up. Result? A ton of unhappy parents. Apparently Katy’s dress-up clothes didn’t cover her up enough and The Sesame Workshop released the following statement:

“‘Sesame Street’ has a long history of working with celebrities across all genres, including athletes, actors, musicians and artists. ‘Sesame Street’ has always been written on two levels, for the child and adult. We use parodies and celebrity segments to interest adults in the show because we know that a child learns best when co-viewing with a parent or care-giver. We also value our viewer’s opinions and particularly those of parents. In light of the feedback we’ve received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on YouTube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of ‘Sesame Street,’ which is aimed at preschoolers. Katy Perry fans will still be able to view the video on YouTube.”

What a mess!

Just spotted this one this morning. Apparently, Kelly and Justine have their own morning talk show style Youtube in which they bitch about the news and share life stories called Wake Up and Get Real. Wish this was in my life sooner cause hearing Kelly Cutrone bestow wisdom is like free therapy.

If you could choose a celebrity to star in a morning show with who would it be?

NARS is launching a “Runway, Real Way, Nars Way” project that will be released on YouTube and Facebook. “Created backstage at the designers’ New York shows in February, the 40-second videos are intended to show consumers how to create wearable versions of each of the looks in three steps apiece.”

The greatest thing on Youtube right now. Emo kids, pissing on floors, and cloned Fonzi’s. Pure genius.

As if the vibrant Christmas scene in Copenhagen, Denmark wasn’t enough, Henrik Vibskov and his astounding fashion shows are yet another reason why I want to hop a plane and make a transatlantic journey! Now, I’ll admit that most of Vibskov’s eccentric designs don’t appeal to my taste, but the way this man puts on a show is right up my alley! I stumbled upon these videos while lurking on Youtube, loving every second of the jazzy music, amazing runway setups and the sheer excitement both on the runway and in the audience. I couldn’t help but laugh at the minty green cilia or the boob-like objects creating obstacles for the models, but oh so coherent with Vibskov’s season designs. I was even thrilled to see Vibskov’s involvement in the shows (apparently he is an accomplished percussionist is playing drums in both shows!) At least this dude is proud of his work and doesn’t try to act all humble and shy (*cough* Cynthia Rowley…don’t think I didn’t see you poke your head out and then hide backstage!)

Bloggers everywhere…there may be a blog out there better than Fashion Indie (okay…that’s impossible but I’ve found a close second!) 19-year-old model Daul Kim’s blog ‘I Like to Fork Myself,’ is quite simple, but oh so amusing. Edgy poetry, stream of consciousness rants, random Youtube videos and candid photographs…they never cease to amaze me! Despite the controversy that her kinky polaroids stirred, all of the “forking” around is in the job description…she is a model after-all! And no matter how forked up her poetry may be, I cannot help but fall in love with it over and over:

WOW THE BASS is so loud that it is making shadows on the light … cool”/ and then like … 10 min later/ utak is like/ “shit fire”/ the light bulb burned the pillow/ and it was on fire/ i was like … okay … / lets not use the water in the cup because it is vodka … / and utak just hit the burning pillow with his palm/ and it died eventually./ and after that we slept on that pillow./ we didnt think so much/ and then the next day when we woke up we were like/ wow./ we almost could have died./ if we fell asleept earlier we could have burned/ it would have been quite … weird if we woke up the next day/ and we are in a different dimention./ and its kind of romantic and retarded and no regrets./ also so strange a light bulb burning a pillow.

Anyone understand that? Yeah, me neither. But I love it.

Eva Mendes for Calvin Klein Secret Obsession was rejected by all major American television networks for being too suggestive earlier this Summer. The clip did manage to become a YouTube sensation, but has now been removed from the Web site, who claims the footage “It has been removed due to terms of use violation.”

The funny thing is, there was barely a nipple slip in the video, nothing we haven’t seen before on youtube. Seriously, you can find videos on there of people choking each other, pretending to commit suicide (or actual suicide from ‘Face of Death’), and all sorts of violence, but a nipple is forbidden? Come on!!!

Thanks PopCrunch for the news.
