The Department Stores Have All Become Museums
In the future, Andy Warhol once said, "All department stores will become museums, and all museums will become department stores." This has already happened: see the Prada store on Broadway, the former location of the Guggenheim Museum's SoHo branch. It's also occurred at Christian Louboutin, the French purveyor of $900 classic fuck-me pumps, the NYT's Thursday Styles section reveals. Here, the shoes are displayed fetishistically in cases, with red carpet and mirrors... yet, they are not available. More »

Breaking: Girls Wear Girl Clothes
We were going to hate on this prototypically obvious Thursgay Styles piece about how some women wear dresses even though shockingly unfeminine "trousers" are the next big thing (Katharine Hepburn could not be reached for comment) but we ended up being kinda charmed by it because basically it's Spring and it's getting nice out and Guy Trebay quotes that bit in Citizen Kane where Mr. Bernstein talks about the girl on the ferry. Are we going soft? If it helps, the piece on how men are wearing patterns that clash on purpose suitably annoyed us. Anyway: pants! On girls! That'll be the day! [NYT]

I'll Have What He's Having
COMPARED with an array of beverages, sports drinks are "wildly skewed to non-bloggers," said David Lockwood, a director of research at Mintel International, a market research group. Part of the reason, he said, is that bloggers tend to avoid the lack of mind- or personality-altering affects. More »

Who Are ASmallWorld's Members? Are They Prosties?
Today's Thursgay Styles piece in the Times on ASmallWorld.net, the "exclusive" social networking site with 150,000 members (this guy, pictured, among them), says members include "Hollywood strivers, fashion models, financiers and minor European royalty." But there's a dark side. And maybe a sexy side! More »

How Alex Kuczynski Almost Became A Blogger
A few months ago, the Times decided to ramp up some of their more lucrative "verticals" on their website—including Fashion and Style. They had lots of ideas, which they put on the company wiki for everyone to read and comment on. But did all of their plans come to fruition? Well, let's just say we were spared the disaster that inevitably would have been an Alex Kuczynski blog. The wiki, and what really happened, follow. More »

When The Kucz Is Tired Of Personal Shopping, We Are Tired Of Life
We've all been wondering, and we've shared the same fears, but WWD brings something like confirmation today:For those wondering about the status of The New York Times' Thursday Styles column "The Critical Shopper," which has traditionally been the provenance of plastic surgery aficionado Alex Kuczynski, Style editor Trip Gabriel said the fate of the column is still undecided. One thing is for sure: "Alex is all shopped out for the moment." Kuczynski is still contributing occasionally to the column and to the Thursday and Sunday Styles sections, Gabriel said, but remains a freelancer rather than a staffer.Noooooooooooo! This cannot be happening! That was a guaranteed post! We'll be pouring out a little ros on this Thursday's print edition. More »

Freemans Sporting Club: Utterly Gay, Yet Ball-Free
"It's just like not being all those fucking metrosexual dickfaces," Freemans Sporting Club member Jack Dakin told the Observer back in November. Oh really? Thursgay's Critical Shopper column details the wares of the Lower East Side taxidermy-filled barbershop'n'$2,000 suits emporium, and it paints a very metrosexual, very dickfacey picture. $390 hand-stitched rubber wellies! $3,000 custom tailoring! A $40 fade haircut! But there is one genre of hipster accessory the FSC doesn't sell, writes Shopper-sub Horatio Silva: "The focus here is clearly on authentic work wear and on the trappings of masculinity—in other words, on the importance of being Ernest Hemingway. Which explains why there are no man jewels available at this Big Papa's House."Stag Party At The Hunting Lodge [NYT]
