Beware the Panty Christ
Hey, I didn’t come up with the nickname, he did. He’s Andrew Christian, one of the contestants on the new Bravo show they’ve installed to make up for the loss of Project Runway, impotently titled The Fashion Show.

The Perfect Woman
And here I thought having a bottle opener attached to my key chain would make me more popular, but Hot Topic has an even better idea: four inch stripper heels with a bottle opener built into them! Just don’t wear them if you’re not used to walking in high shoes, especially drunk. You’ll turn your […]
