Cuts on the Bias

Hiatus

2009-11-20T12:09:21-08:00

We're sorry dear readers but Cuts needs to take a break. Between the two of us we have two jobs, an upcoming wedding, a new puppy who weighs 70lbs, a new house, a 16 year old, a college teaching assignment...

This is a test

2009-10-21T09:11:30-07:00

WWD reports today that Conde Nast, the company that has laid off a bazillion people this week, has launched a new iphone app for GQ. Conde Nast says the app will not only make money, but is also vetted by...

Chill.

2009-10-18T09:48:14-07:00

I wanted to enjoy my Sunday morning but the NY Times made that impossible. Normally, I can cruise its columns and articles with ease, agreeing with most it has to say and ignoring what irritates. Not so today when two...

Another Kanye Moment

2009-10-11T17:52:10-07:00

President Obama on receiving Nobel Peace Prize: "surprised and deeply humbled." Most pundits, columnists and people who have not received said prize but decided it was appropriate to imitate Kanye West: "Obama you nice, but [insert favorite name] shoulda got...

Let me tell you a secret

2009-10-08T12:38:37-07:00

A lot of people complain (rightfully so) about the emaciated women on covers of magazines, runways, catalogs and AD campaigns-but aside from the obvious "beauty in youth" notion, there's actually an explanation. Let's say you're a designer and you want...

Real Models

2009-10-06T20:27:46-07:00

The next segment of the work force to hit the unemployment line may be models. Not only are fashion magazines closing at a rapid clip, but some--like Germany's Brigitte -- are outlawing the use of models and instead relying on...

And the running back wore pink

2009-10-05T10:20:49-07:00

After I logged onto my fantasy football league Sunday morning, I turned on FOX (which is the only time I watch that network, oh, except for Glee) and imagine my shock when all the men are wearing hot pink! The...

Bump and Grimace

2009-10-02T08:13:00-07:00

I am fortunate to have incredible grandmothers. One taught me to sew: a task that trains you to closely follow directions while looking for ways to innovate. The other taught me to find beauty where none seems to exist--a skill...

I dare you to wear these

2009-09-20T16:57:39-07:00

I could write a book on shoes and how to wear them. With so many factors like, height, length of leg, comfort, practicality and age, finding the right shoe isn't as easy as it seems. They can totally vamp up...

High Style

2009-09-17T10:19:51-07:00

For the record I love high heels and I wear them every chance I get. I also love my feet--they've turned out to be quite valuable body parts that are holding up better than many others. As a result, I...

No Style

2009-09-14T08:53:17-07:00

I'm no rule freak. I'm never quite sure where the knife goes on a formal table setting and I don't recall the proper order to introduce people (older first? female first?). I wear white past Labor Day. I don't always...

It's Moschino (moe skeen oh) oh la la

2009-09-10T13:05:59-07:00

Please note how hot Mrs. Biden looks as well...

Obama Rocks the House

2009-09-09T21:33:46-07:00

Well alright then. If Kelley says we're going to mix it up, we'll mix it up. Let's start with President Obama's speech on health care reform. If you didn't think that was an awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping performance of subtly and surefooted...

A Full Frontal Apology

2009-09-09T13:25:08-07:00

I'm getting yelled at (mostly by my Grandmother and Heather) for not posting more. And I agree, what's the point of a blog if you don't keep it up? This may sound weird but this isn't my job. I am...

Real Americans

2009-09-01T09:09:19-07:00

Brilliant. Truly brilliant. An organization called ColorofChange.org listened to Glenn Beck's hate-filled rants on Fox TV and instead of debating their legitimacy, they used democratic market forces to let him know how the country really feels about him. How'd they...
