How The Subprime Celebrity Crisis Affects You
So I was in my bathroom last night, flipping through the "It Girl" issue of Nylon* and the whole thing reminded me of another thing I saw but had no desire to post about earlier this week, the fact that Leigh "Princess Coldstare" Lezark was photographed attending at least 21 shows at Fashion Week. Yeah, no one cares! Blame the Subprime Celebrity Crisis. More » -

Coming Soon on Leigh Lezark
Setting aside, for the moment, the fact that NYM's personalizable fashion albums are a blatant ripoff of Style.com's Lookbooks, we took careful note of Leigh Lezark's selections from Fashion Week so far. Likes: bow ties, funny hats, minidresses, red ... But we're most intrigued by a look by Alexandre Herchovitch that Princess Coldstare selected as one of her faves. It's got a certain je ne sais quoi that we think will look just lovely behind the Misshapes DJ booth. More » -

This Month in 'Vogue' Subtext: Leigh Is, Like, Lezarded?
At first glance, the one-page profile that dubs MisShapes mascot Leigh Lezark an 'iconoclast' and one of the "best-dressed 2006" reads like your standard slobbering puff piece. Revelations: Lezark likes black and white and "studs on everything." But towards the end of the piece, the same typo keeps cropping up: a misspelling of Lezark's surname that, with the alteration of one letter, changes the word's meaning entirely. More » -

Leigh Lezark: From Sex Advice to Fashion Advice
MisShape Leigh "Princess Coldstare" Lezark certainly loves doling out her words of wisdom, whether they're of the "should I lick it before we kick it?" variety or not. Witness the above scan from this month's Teen Vogue, where she gives ever-so-thoughtful fashion advice to legions of impressionable young minds. We did note that they didn't actually run a photo of Leigh in the issue, leading us to wonder whether they've actually seen what she wears. We look forward, in any case, to TV's inevitable fawning coverage of the MisShapes fashion line. (N.B.: She goes to Hunter College.) More » -

The MisShapes: "Total Hipster World Domination Will Be Ours"
WWD is reporting that the MisShapes trio—Princess Coldstare (aka Leigh Lezark) and her two sidekicks—are thisclose to announcing a deal for their very own fashion line. Let's take a moment and consider what this might look like. Pointy shoes? Check. Tight, ripped T-shirts? Check. Tight black pants? Check. Tight white jeans? Check. Asymmetrical haircut, lots of eyeliner and deep red lipstick optional, but highly recommended. No word on where the line might be sold, but we have a feeling it's not Lane Bryant. Hot Topic, however, might be a viable option. More » -

Princess Coldstare's Secret Diary
The strangest piece of unsolicited information landed in the mailbag, and apropos nothing we'll share it with you: Earlier this year, Princess Coldstare — otherwise known as Leigh Lezark, Cathy Horyn's heir to Edie Sedgwick and the third leg of the hipster press-whore DJ collective Misshapes — had, for at least one entry, a blog. She doesn't just promote or pose, people! She blogs! She's that cutting edge! More » -

'Post' Snubs Sexy Leotard... Fantastic
Did you happen to catch yesterday's Post coverage of the "25 sexiest New Yorkers"? (Oddly, only 15 are available on line.) Well, one of them happens to be Leigh Lezark! Sadly, the Post notes that a backlash is brewing against the hipster DJ. We don't know where they may have heard that, but we're pretty sure about where that "cold... stare" came from. More » -

Princess Coldstare Continues Reign of Aloofness in 'Elle'
For the love of sweet baby Christ! Do you see this? Do you? Yeah, that's right — it's Leigh "Princess Coldstare" Lezark, the lady of MisShapes, and it's from page 406 of the September Elle. Yesterday, she was modeling circus costumes in Thursgay Styles; two weeks ago, her fellow MisShapes pictured were sipping rosé in Sunday Styles. Now it's a high-end, multi-pound fashion monthly.

I MisShape, Therefore I Styles
No. No. This is NOT the way to start our morning, our Thursgay Styles ritual interrupted by the jarring image of Princess Coldstare of MisShapes (Leigh Lezark) in a $9,190 fur vest. The article ostensibly is about fall's new chunky, layered looks; Lezark was one of three trendy ladies invited into Barneys to play dress up for the Times. She arrived with fellow MisShape Leotard Fantastic (who, not coincidentally, was in last Sunday's Styles holding a glass of rose-fucking-ay), deemed the clothes "too old," was indifferent to wearing anything on her bottom, and suggested chopping up a floor-length Marc Jacobs frock. And for this, she is fabulous, perched with socialites, compared to Edie Sedgwick, presented as the emo Jessica Joffe. But no matter how high Lezark's star may rise, remember: you knew her when she was just a girl with a vagina shirt and a dream. More »
