Would You Like Some Spray On Clothes for that Spray On Tan? That Can Be Arranged...


According to omg-facts.com, clothing now comes available in a spray can. You can just simply spray on a shirt like you would spray on your favorite fake tan.

The spray is made from a bunch of different chemicals, that when mixed together create a cotton-y substance. The chemicals are said to feel really cold when sprayed on, and it is not recommended to use the spray to make pants or under garments for this reason.

Although the company claims that the clothes will be washable and reusable, I highly doubt that this statement is true. As one can see from viewing the video, the clothes look really cheap. If I ever made a spray-on shirt, I would be afraid of having it fall apart.


Another one of my initial reactions to this product was that the chemicals would pose a health risk. However, this hardly seems to be a problem, as the creative makers of this product are also claiming that the spray can be used for band-aids as well as other health care products.

What do you think of spray on clothes? Would you be willing to give it a try, or do you worry, like I do, that the clothes would fall apart?

Christian Louboutin to Debut A New Line of Sneakers --- But it Will Cost You.

Famed clothing designer, Christian Louboutin, has recently announced his plans to debute a new line of sneakers. The sneakers will feature many unique patterns and designs with the use of animal prints, rhinestones, studs, and spikes, a very similar and unique mixture of designs frequently seen on Louboutin's signature heels.

However, if you're expecting to get a good deal on Louboutin sneakers, think again! These sneakers make Louboutin heels look cheap! Louboutin heels are known to run anywheres between $500-$2,000, while these sneakers actually run to about $2,400 a pair!

I love the way these sneakers look, but not for that price!!


Here is a look at the new sneakers from Louboutin:







Louboutin's Fall collection of sneakers will be available this season.

What do you think of Louboutin's newly released sneakers? Do you think they're worth the money? Would you spend $24,000 on them?

Making Your Male Model Wear Shorts This Short Should Be Cruel and Unusual Punishment.




Nope, your eyes are not deciving you. That is fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld's male model, Baptiste Giabiconi. This photograph was taken in St. Tropez on Friday where Giabiconi and Lagerfeld were photographed talking and walking around.

It is unknown whether or not Giabiconi was wearing the getup for a photoshoot for one of Lagerfeld's lines or if he willingy chose to wear those short shorts. I'm not sure which is worst. Willfully choosing to wear this getup is bad taste on Giabiconi's side. Being forced by Lagerfeld to wear them seems like cruel and unusual punishment that makes me pity Giabiconi.

No man should ever wear shorts that short. Ever.

Are you planning on buying Glee inspired clothes? Which items are you most excited for? Personally I would like to pick up a few of the basic t's, especially the "Don't Stop Believing" one and I am also excited to see the Rachel Berry inspired items.

Why are concert shirts so expensive?


According to the latest edition of Rolling Stone, there are many different factors that lead to concert shirts being so overpriced, and less than half the money goes to the band!

Here is the breakdown on where the money spent for the shirt is going to:

$3.98-Taxes and fees/Paying for security.
$7.76-Split between the vendor and promoter for a vendor fee.
$9.26-The merchandise company.
$14-The band.


This breakdown applies to the average price of a concert t-shirt, which is $35.

Are you surprised by this breakdown? Does this understanding of where your money is going make you more or less willing to buy a tshirt at the next concert you attend?

My biggest concern is...does the band really need $14 per tshirt? Aren't they making enough money from the ticket sales, not to mention TV show apperances, their Cd's, and everything else?
