Will The Real KL Please Stand Up?

Karl Lagerfeld ditched the skinny tie, fingerless gloves and grommets for Phat Farm and unlaced sneaks for the (fat) September issue of Harper's Bazaar.

A few of fashion's best and most well-known designers were asked by the magazine to take part in an editorial feature that showed them living the lives of someone other than a, well, designer. Giorgio Armani picked Fred Astaire, the Rodarte girls picked black cats at Halloween, Donna Karan wanted to be a hurricane and Roberto Cavalli picked Rhett Butler from Gone With The Wind (with Coco Rocha as Scarlett O'Hara).

What did Herr Lagerfeld say in response? "Believe it or not, I love rap."

So here is Kaiser Karl, in all his white-haired glory, posing like your favorite diiiiirty south rapper.







I'm Lovin' it: My girl Roops managed to score us last minute tickets off Craigslist for the Radiohead concert next week. She is my hero of the day. Thom Yorke, here I come.







I'm Over it: At the Blo one-year anniversary event last night, I saw a girl with the most hideous hair. Remember Dave Chapelle's hair in all those Rick James skits?? Yeah, this gal had that, but longer and with more hideous, braided bangs. So weird.


Music of the Day: The Bang Gang Deejays from New South Wales, Australia have a podcast site that has a bunch of cool mixes, from Flosstradamus to the Tough Alliance to DJ Mehdi. I suggest taking a listen to "D Is For Disco, E Is For Dancing MiniMegaMix". It's electronica and dance-able music on acid. Party time, excellent.
