How Do We Like Our Muffins? Super Studded!

Celebrity | 05 June 2012

We’re all about rockin’ the studs on our duds, but who doesn’t love to sprinkle a few studmuffins into the mix? And because this summer is all about the superhero blockbuster, I’ve picked a few of the most superb, super-powered studmuffins for your viewing pleasure. So, ogle away! (And, for any comic book afficionados out there, for the sake of super simplicity, this list includes crime fighters, gods, aliens, and any other subcategory of “heroes” we may like to argue against).

The Good Ol’ Boys: They’re hunks. They fight for good, while looking good. Himbos….

Sensitive Genius Type: More substance than your average superhero studmuffin, and more IQ points too (but you wouldn’t like Bruce when he gets angry…).

Billionaire Playboy Genius: Hes got the brain, the brawn, and the big bucks!

Bad Boys: ‘Cause at the end of the day, Magneto is the baddest of the bad, Wolverine is the baddest of the good, and they’re both, hands down, the hunkiest of the hunks.

Now, shall we all go practice our damsel in distress acts?

Mind the gap, ladies, because a little extra space is starting to go a looonnnng way in the fashion world. Where once headgear and the brace face were the automatic go-to for dental divas, a slight gap in the pearly whites is now all the rage. Join the ranks of Vanessa Paradis, Georgia Jagger, Anna Paquin, Jane Birkin, Madonna, and hundreds of other celebrities and civilians in the trend towards au natural.

Shorts are a major wardrobe staple this time of year and I think it’s time we all trade in our usual pair for a printed pair this season! The up-and-coming printed shorts trend is very versatile and you can style yours with patterned tees, crisp button-ups or colorful chiffon tops. Some major celebs have been out and about in their super cute printed shorts, and they’ve inspired us to put together some amazing LuLu*s outfits!

Love It or Leave It: Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor

Well, they let her on Glee, so she must be doing something right. LiLo seems to be getting her act together, enough to have been cast as Liz Taylor for the upcoming Lifetime biopic Liz & Dick. It seems that executive director Larry Thompson has had to defend his decision, but it seems he may have made a pretty good one.

Not only did she play a fairly convincing portrayal of Elizabeth in a 2006 issue of Interview Magazine, but it turns out she and the Dame have a lot in common. The New York Times pointed this out: “Taylor, like Ms. Lohan, was in and out of the Betty Ford Center as she contended with drug and alcohol addiction. Both were child stars: Taylor had her film debut at 9, in There’s One Born Every Minute; Ms. Lohan at 12, in The Parent Trap. As a young woman, each had her brushes with the paparazzi.”

In the images above, Lohan models some of the costumes she’ll be wearing to channel her inner diva. The modern interpretations of some of Ms. Taylor’s most famous outfits are just as stunning as their original counterparts.

Apparently, LiLo beat out other hopefuls like Megan Fox and Olivia Wilde, so they must have really wanted her!

Filming is scheduled to begin June 4, and apparently they are still hunting for the perfect Richard Burton to play opposite her. I, for one, hope it gets made, not only because I love Elizabeth Taylor, but because I’m rooting for the underdog here.

Anybody else with me? Or do you think this will be a total flop?

Royal Mail Delivers: The Great British Fashion Stamp Set

As a long-time stamp collector (yeah, I know, nerdy), you can imagine my excitement when I discovered that the Royal Mail service recently launched a new series of stamps entitled “The Great British Fashion Stamp Set.” Created by the oh-so-talented London-based graphic designer Johnson Banks with the camera of the famous fashion photographer Sølve Sundsbø, the line honors ten top English fashion houses.

To create the images, Banks and Sundsbo holed up in Solve’s London studio for two days with some awesome clothes and live models to create unique posturing and flow. After the pictures were taken, they took out the models to let the gorgeous textures, colors, and designs speak for themselves.

Not only do I want the stamps . . . but I could sure use some of those clothes in my closet!
