Self-Reflexive Pelvic Thrusting From Bruno Mars

This will likely shock those who've seen our record collection or listened to any of our post punk and hip hop-heavy radio shows over the years, but we kind of luuurv crooning pop music wunderkind Bruno Mars. In addition to a sweet falsetto voice that could melt the panties off a nun and a dimpled, boyish smile reminiscent of Michael Jackson circa Off the Wall, the diminutive 25-year-old actually writes and produces (along with bandmates The Smeezingtons) all of his own music. What's more, press tour interviews suggest that Mars may actually be as sweet and clever as the melodic pop hooks that dot his debut album.
All of this is only enhanced by the fact that Mars' live show seems to include ironic pelvic thrusting that comically condenses a whole history of outlandishly sincere male pop performance from Elvis to Usher and beyond. Thank goodness a smitten fangirl (not us!) took it upon herself to compile concert footage of the doo-wopper 'hittin' it' 74 times. Lady boners ahoy!

When 'Ready To Wear' Isn't

Anna Sui is obviously a talented and innovative designer, but we have to wonder whether (and why) anyone would spend $200 for the privilege of wearing a tent dress with boobie eyes. It's a clever runway look–and we certainly wish that our ovaries and lower intestine looked that pretty (though who's to say they don't....)–but having to explain that the rather prominent black dots on your nipples are part of a savvy statement issued by a top designer is akin to having to explain a failed joke (i.e., deeply unsatisfying and frequently embarrassing). Of course, if that's your bag, you might want to consider completing the look with a whimsical brain hat like the one pictured above. Your kookily-outlined bust will suddenly seem like the least strange thing about you.
