Kate Moss Ruffles Some Feathers
 Kate Moss sure does love her wildlife. Last time we saw her snuggled up in a massive shearling coat. Now, she’s looking like a total bad arse in a bewitching feather-trimmed vest while, somewhere, a flock of ravens is phoning in an order for Rogaine.
And while the word ‘goth’ usually gives me frightening flashbacks of the droopy wide-legged jeans worn by the Korn kids back in high school, this witchy woman look is one style I could get behind (sorry, feathered friends). It’s tough, edgy, and kind of scary, but the coolness factor can’t be denied.
What do you think? Should I be eating crow after admitting a weakness for feathered vests? Is Kate’s look clever, or creepy?

Lindsay Lohan Dresses like a Not-So-Superhero
 Look up at the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane!
Oh, wait. It’s just Lindsay Lohan in a truly appalling dress.
After rehab, trouble with the law, and “I Know Who Killed Me,” one would assume La Lohan had already hit rock bottom, but this horrendous blue and white Rainbow Brite-esque dress is a new low in my style book.
The white pumps…the shiny low-cut bustier top…the ugly skirt that appears to have made from an abandoned parachute…this ‘superhero chic’ look makes Robin’s red vest look like the height of sophistication.
But it is fun to speculate on what Lindsay’s superpower might be. X-ray vision? Supersonic speed? The ability to drink anyone under the table? Freckles with night vision?

Natalie Portman's Fashion Fumble
 Some lucky girls have it all: beauty, brains, and an impeccable fashion sense.
Well, Natalie Portman, two out of three ain’t bad.
Okay, so maybe Natalie’s always been recognized more for her Audrey Hepburn 2.0 beauty and her ability to talk about politics without asking which party the elephants belong to than her flawless style, but does that really excuse dressing up like a Harvard co-ed home during winter break? (And yes, I know she was a Harvard co-ed. I was a University of Texas co-ed, but you don’t see me wearing burnt-orange at big events. Or ever.)
This seasonally confused, layered get-up of a winter coat, a springy floral skirt, tights, purple boots, and a white handbag feels downright lazy. Or am I being too harsh? Is ‘real’ style (or lack thereof) refreshing, or just a sign that a star really just can’t be bothered?

My dog ate the crotch out of a really expensive pair of jeans. Is there any way to repair them?
My toes have some, let's say, aesthetic issues. I refuse to wear sandals. What's a cute, feminine substitute that's appropriate for spring?
