Well now. I have to say that I am on the verge of being appalled when I look at this photo of Lady GaGa, set to perform with her band.

Now, let me be clear. I’m all for taking risks. I’m all for flashy performance-time outfits. I’m even all for frisky black leather on occasion. But I am NOT for trashy, bathing suit-esque hoochie mama get-ups with mongo leather bows and dominatrix gloves under any circumstances. None at all.

I’m starting to wonder if the pukey economy is beginning to work its way into Hollywood, putting all the one-time sensible stylists out of a job. Oh, I know that stars have always made gasp-worthy fashion choices along the way, but at least you could count on some halfway decent selections here and there. This, in no way, could be considered a “decent selection”. *shudder*

Lady, next time you’re heading out to perform, take a quick peek in the mirror and/or ask a friend. Or you could always give me a call, too. I’ll give you a straight-up opinion, that’s fer damn sure!

Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise and daughter Suri Cruise

A couple new pics of the lovely Katie Holmes (seen, of course, with hubby Tom Cruise and daughter Suri) surfaced o’er the weekend, thereby signaling loud and clear why Katie is winning in the Fashion Icon poll in the right sidebar of this fabulous blog. (Uh, you have voted already, right? If not, dammit, get voting!)

Yanno dahlings, as much as my snarky self loves glitz and flash and funk, I also adore classic elegance to the enth degree. And that is something Mrs. Cruise does so. damn. well. She’s sleek, yet real; glamorous, yet reachable. I’ve completely fallen for Katie’s style (though, in my always-perfect opinion, it would be fabby if she smiled a bit more often, but hey).

And while we’re at it, may I take a moment to mention that Tommy totally looks great, too? Love the messy hair. Very fun for him and waaaay better than the toddler-esque ‘do from a couple months back, no?

So anyhoo, congrats, Katie, on holding on to the top spot of the Snarkstress Fashion Icon poll. I’m going to leave that puppy open for another few days or so, then officially declare a winner. Reese, my love, you have a little catching up to do….

Tara Reid

Dahlings, she wasn’t even in the original contest, but I do believe we have a winner in the Battle of the Boob Dress. None other than Ms. Tara Reid.

Clearly, Tara smokes both Jenny Mc Carthy, and particularly Pamela Anderson. Girl is doing The Boob Dress right. Go Tara.

After claims of botched up plastic surgery, it appears as though Tara’s ta-tas have been fixed and fixed well. Of course, The Girls are not the only stars here. The dress itself is absolutely gorgeous. The detail, the train, the color – all utterly and completely fab.

And so thusfore, my dahlings, Tara officially swoops in to win the Snarkstress Seal of Approval for Boob Dress Done Best. Bravo! We should all take note for the next time an opportunity to wear a Boob Dress presents itself. Like to church tomorrow or something.

What?
