I mean, I always thought basil was pretty good-- but then again maybe I'm just lame?
Ashley is totally Juliette Lewis if she were a comic book character! I hope she wins!

Do You Have Tickets To The Gun Show?
Michelle Obama does-- and it seems like the rest of country has something to say about it. 
After wearing sleeveless dresses four times (GASP!) in one week, one time during the State of the Union Address, and for her Official White House Portrait, people (with too much time on their hands) were in an uproar. According to Salon.com, "The Washington Post reports that it has received hundreds of reader complaints on the subject." Wow. HUNDREDS of people have found time in their days to write and complain about arms. ARMS! What's next? Pants? Ankles? Doubtful, but come on. In The Huffington Post's coverage on the subject, the First Lady responded to the talk via Social Secretary Desiree Rogers stating, "If I want to wear no sleeves to hear my husband speak, that's what I'm going to do." HA!

HA!My favorite comparison photo in the Salon article is the one below of Jackie Kennedy at JFK's State of the Union Address. She's surrounded by shrewd old ladies with her own arms shining! That's right, Jackie, flaunt those biceps, you dirty girl!
With that I say-- Show off those pythons Michelle! GRRRR.

The Fairest of Them All
Remember X-Girl, Kim Gordon's sporty sister clothing line to X-Large?
I wasn't even a teenager when the first line came out, but around the time I clasped the hook on my third or fourth training bra, I remember ordering catalogues from the back of my Seventeen magazines alongside Delia*s all the way to my tiny town in North Carolina. (I really had a thing for adolescent skater boys.) After receiving one or two, they stopped coming, and I believe the store closed in NYC in 2006 or so. The brand, along with X-Large, is still insanely popular in Japan.
It's no lie that Kim has always had incredible style, and is one of the coolest chicks around. So it's pretty sweet that in the past 15 years her fashion sense has matured into a new 60's France-inspired collection called Mirror/Dash. (Little Known Fact: Mirror/Dash is also a Kim Gordon/Thurston Moore musical side project. See video HERE.)The only bummer is that it's being distributed via Urban Outfitters, but I'd brave a pack of NYU kids and even dumpy-butted tourists any day for Kim's garb. She's working with designer Jeffrey Monteiro, ex-head designer at Derek Lam on the line, and it'll be available in UO on Feb 16th.
Only two photos of items of the Mirror/Dash line have been released:
The Hardy Jacket inspired by the ever-chic Francoise.
And this slouchy little dress
While you wait for the rest, here's a little retrospective of Kim's looks from the past.
(And read the interview BUST did with Kim regarding the line too!)
