Deliver Me From Cooking
Unfortunately for you, my dear, you may not eat any of the baked goods you are preparing.
Yes, baking is so very sexy. The oven gloves totally complete this look. I'm just disappointed I can't see the killer 8 inch heels she is no doubt wearing.
What the hell? Is this a joke, or is this actually meant to be cutting edge? Nuts to that, if I see one more cooking or cleaning based fashion photoshoot that DOESN'T feature men, I'm going to hit the fan. Seriously. It's going to get hit.

When Designers are Idiots
According to their website...
Their art is characterized by the use of animal material that is carefully patched up and put into significant positions, combined with rich materials such as embroidery, pearls and gold. A contemporary touch is given to the classical memento mori concept, questioning the way the world nowadays seems to be determined by nothing else than just marketing. In a constantly twisting play between fantasy and reality Idiots emphasizes the borderline between life and death. The striking beauty and the vividness of the animals that figure in the works provoke an immediate attraction, but directly after the first glance one starts wondering what is going on exactly, thrilled by the perspective of transience that is brought forward. Animals are reborn to remind people of the life they lived, but also to suggest an alternative history, in which they rule the world. The resemblance to the archetypes known from fables and fairy tales is obvious. From a similar moral perspective Idiots criticizes the contemporary way of life, athough the representation of these famous stories is not the duo’s main aspiration. If one can speak of a certain objective in Idiots’ art it is to bring people closer to an honest perception of reality pictured through a lens of critical fantasy.
Kind of interesting, but incredibly self important. Frankly, I think they just enjoy playing with stuffed animals and precious gems.

Delicious Diagrams
So from the Hillary/Barack commotions onwards, I made a concerted effort to ignore anything even remotely related to the US elections.
And then Tina Fey ruined everything. How can I ignore completely flawless send-ups of one of the scariest women the world?
Aden Nak summed up quite nicely why the rest of the world is holding their breath. Better yet, he summed it up in flow chart form.
Will the rest of the world lose any remaining respect for the US if Sarah Palin (and that old guy) are voted into office? You betcha!
And while we're on the topic of helpful and concise diagrams, I can't help but admire this little gem care of GirlOnGauche.
I'm not sure what ranks higher on this scale - Tina Fey's Palin impersonation, or the fact that millions of Americans are actually considering voting for a person with no legitimate experience, expertise, charisma, talent or political savvy, simply because she's female and white.
Please America, prove the rest of the world wrong. For once.
