Stuart Emmrich is now overseeing the Thursday and Sunday Styles sections at the Times. Who is overseeing his wardrobe, which obviously doesn't include any V-neck undershirts? Probably not his fuddy-duddy predecessor Trip Gabriel. Someone needs a makeover!

More and more people are turning to the New York Times to tell them what to think about the growing number of people who are turning to the internet to tell them what to think. Can't make a decision about your hair? The internet will tell you what to do. In a groundbreaking story, the Times reveals that your annoying…

Twittish beauty bloggers are now acting like entitled print-mag beauty editors, the NYT Styles reports, in demanding all the free swag they can stuff into their home offices. Beauty PR companies used to ignore bloggers because, "It didn't seem fair that anyone could say whatever they wanted about a product and have an…

"In 2005 the Southeast-based jewelry chain Mayors marketed diamond earrings with the tag line, 'She delivered your first born; now give her twins.' Fortunoff, the jewelry and gift chain with a Fifth Avenue flagship, established a push present registry six months ago." So, um, why is there a story about this "trend"…

Professional underminer Mike Albo mourns the halcyon early 90s in today's Critical Shopper column. Also, the Times still hasn't caught on to the fact that he only ever makes fun of the impulse to buy or own fancy clothes: "I know it's not 1993 anymore, but some of these prices still gave me pause. Fourteen years ago…

"Check out any art gallery, advertising agency or downtown bar where the cool kids hang" and you'll find neckties, claims David Colman in the Times today. It's true, we have noticed kids wearing ties a little more lately—maybe it has to do with that band "The White Strokes" or whatever they are called that the hip…

Skin Deep articles in the Times always bring us useful news. For example, did you know that some salons stay open late, like until 11 or so? And also that, because they're fancy, they generally offer a beverage of some nature? "The result is an eclectic evening grooming scene in which executives coming from work…

Today's Thursgay examines the frightening possibility that regularly dumping a shitload of chemicals on your scalp might not be the healthiest thing you can do. While a recent study suggests a possible cancer link, epidemiologists caution that the findings are inconclusive. Still, we're not going to let a little…

Speaking of sluts, did you read that Stephanie Rosenbloom piece? Holy cats, there's a lot to grab on to there. While our favorite lines ("Like 'queer' and 'pimp' before it, the word slut seems to be moving away from its meaning as a slur. Or is it?" I don't know, Steph! Why don't you give me a couple hundred more…

Prepare yourself for yet another Timesian we-didn't-do-any-due-diligence mega mea culpa, this time shaking the heretofore hard-hitting reporters of the Styles desk to their very core. In yesterday's annual hey-look-beards-are-in expose, fashion reporter Eric Wilson suggested that the facially hirsute folks at Vice…

With its representation of two plain cowboys who fell in love in plain old Western wear, ["Brokeback Mountain"] hit the fashion bull's-eye. Cowboy boots, snap-button shirts and big ol' belt buckles standards that have come and gone several times before are striding back into style.

From — where else? — today's Thursday Styles:
