Dawn of the Dead: The Sprouse Resurrection Begins

Marc Jacobs by Terry Richardson for Harper's Bazaar Jan. 09

If you've been wondering why it's been near impossible to score anything by Stephen Sprouse on eBay or elsewhere in recent months, well, the reasons that have been silently building are finally out of the bag with Monday's summation in WWD.

Giving Good Gobble

Beautiful bedlam for the whole family.

My favorite part about Thanksgiving?
Ok, sure, it's partly Andy's slow-roasted turkey inside the small, black clay army tank that is the Kamado grill. But what gets me up early every year like a kid on Christmas morning is the annual Gobble Gobble Give, a DIY community gathering to feed the homeless.

Sexy at (almost) 62: Diane Von Furstenberg

For all her flaws (and I know several former staffers who could ramble endlessly on the topic), Diane Von Furstenberg's style and drive, professional and personal inventiveness and joie de vivre is the stuff icons are made of.

On the eve of her quickie divorce announcement in a London High Court Friday (ok, it was actually Wednesday night), Madonna was ruffling feathers of another kind in New York at a celebration for Gucci's new Tattoo Heart handbag.

Diamonds in the Buff

Costume by Catherine D'Lish for Dita Von Teese

You could feel the collective sucking of air out of the hallowed Bing Theater at LACMA last night as Ava Garter stripped off her sparkling matador costume before a couple of hundred audience members-mostly members of the museum's Costume Council, which comprises mostly of ladies who get goose bumps at being called a socialite.

Supper with the Proenza Schouler Pack

Who's that Bag?: Vanessa Traina flaunts a friendly perk.

Alexander McQueen Hits Target

A McQ look inspiring the new McQ Alexander McQueen for Target line.

Just got in from a session at my neighborhood Obama volunteer center, where I spent the better chunk of my calling plan minutes cold calling registered voters in Colorado and Missouri. […]

An Open Book: Poet Saul Williams

From Saul William’s sublime, mind-blowing verse to John C. Riley’s pointedly candid humor to a straight-up shot from fathers Flea and Pierre de Reeder of Rilo Kiley (with babes in arms), the video postcards we shot a few weeks ago at Shepard Fairey’s Studio One Gallery and which finally began making their way online this last week are a reminder of the creative riches realized in this landmark presidential campaign.
