It’s hurricane season, folks. Earl is already making his way down the East Coast and while he is going to be out there destroying rush hour and making the bottoms of our jeans all heavy and wet, we want to make the most of the rainy days ahead. Apparently rain boots don’t sell for under $10 anywhere, unless they’re fit for a child, so you’ll just have to make do of what we found for you to keep yourself busy when the torrential downpours begin.

Junya Watanabe also worked with Mackintosh as part of his Fall/Winter 2010 Collection. The Modscoat comes in black and in khaki and is a functional, yet not over-equipped, winter jacket. It is now available from Ark.

Consumerist has found a reason your cocktail waitress hates you. Namely:
Regarding the guy who decided to use his credit card rather than cash at the last minute. “You may not know this, but I already paid the bar — in cash — for your drink. See, I’m allotted money at the beginning of the night with which I buy drinks from the bar, getting reimbursed by you. But I can’t tell you that because then I look like the difficult one. You just wasted five minutes of my life, asshole.
Eh, that never happened when I was a cocktail waitress (a sexy pirate cocktail waitress with an eyepatch). But fortunately, I have a list of things that did happen! Wow, this is like time travelling back into the days where I always stank of spilt scotch and lived off bar food. Suffice to say, these things made me hate customers, so maybe you should stop doing them when you go into bars.
1) Use your big boy words. When I say “do you want a drink?” You have to say something. It can be “yes”. It can be “no.” It can be “I like monkeys because I’m an underwater sea leopard.” (The last one means, “no”.) I don’t care what you say. Just don’t roll your eyes into the back of your skull in some sort of elaborate code. All it does it make me think that you’re having a seizure, and I will refer to you as Julius Caesar for the rest of the evening. You won’t get it. No one will get it. I hate you.
2) Tip me, jerkface. Especially if you think I did a good job. I don’t need you to tell me I’m pretty. I don’t need you to tell me I’m too smart to be a cocktail waitress. Your compliments do not help me or Marilyn Monroe at the automat. I do need you to tip me. A dollar a drink is standard.And when you pass me a fistful of nickles as you would a homeless person? I hate you.
3) Do not attempt to haggle with me. It’s New York. The drinks do not cost what they cost in Podunk. Do I think $5 for a jello shot is outrageous? Yes, I do! But then, I do not know why you are eating alcoholic jello to begin with. Did they run out of all the real drinks in the entire world? Whatever. No matter how many times you exclaim that you could get 17 of these for 25 cents in Bumblefuck, the price will not change. And I will hate you.
4) Do not assume I’m an idiot. If you repeat your drink order to me, slowly, with ellipsis in your voice, more than three times, I will get it wrong, just to spite you. Because I hate you.
5) Do not sexually harass me, fucktard. That guy who used to think it was really funny to raise his fingers up in a V for Victory sign to his mouth and waggle his tongue back and forth? It took him about a month to realize that I was always spilling drinks on him deliberately. Because I hated him.

The New York Times “story” about how small boobs are suddenly now trendy has ignited widespread panic and women everywhere are wondering if men are going to like it if an A-Cup is the new black. – Marie Claire
Apparently “boobies” is sexually suggestive. Yea? Well, then so is “moist.” – ABC News
Note to self: When your date shows up wasted, don’t walk, run to the nearest exit. – The Frisky
Removing your ex from your friend list on Facebook may be cathartic, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still stalk our exes via mutual friends, right? – YourTango
Brit magazine Essentials replaced their models for ‘real women’ on the cover of their October issue in a new effort to rid their mag of models. Anthropologie tried this once in their catalog. It lasted for one catalog. – StyleList
Women steal Rafael Nadal’s cut hair from Julien Farel’s Madison Avenue salon. In other news, we’re waiting to see how much the tennis hottie’s hair sells for on eBay. – Styleite

What the hell is “greige”? Is it a chic form of grunge (like that ill-fated Marc Jacobs show that was full of flannel)? Perhaps a rare fish? No, it’s a word that Elle Canada just invented to try and describe the very odd union of the colors gray (or, in their Northern parlance, “grey”) and beige. That said, they didn’t have an example of exactly what “greige” looks like, so we might have to put this particular neologism back in the closet for now.

Which leading fashion brand was noticeably absent from Vogue‘s September issue? The advertiser was trying to make a point about just how (not) relevant/powerful Vogue is, and pulled at the last minute.
Hint: It makes up for one “half” of a fashion’s biggest powerhouse.
Need I tell you how much I love Elle UK, more than any other fashion magazine? It's true. It's been a love affair for almost 20 years, even since I was a co-ed on the U.C. Berkeley campus. After class, I would head over to Cody's Bookstore on Telegraph Avenue and browse through all the fashion magazines. Don't get me wrong, I do love my American fashion mags (and I subscribe to them), but the UK edition has always had much better fashion features and editorial in my book.
And now, this is best issue ever with Elle's 25th Anniversary Special Collector's Issue with Kate Hudson looking super modern 80's glam on the cover. Watch the behind the scenes video with Kate here.
There are 5 special edition covers to collect. In addition to Kate Hudson, pick up Helena Christensen, Coco Rocha, Naomi Campbell, and John Galliano.
The issue features an exclusive interview with Dolce & Gabbana and a unique collaboration with John Galliano. Supermodel Naomi Campbell gives a candid interview and Helena Christensen stars in new shoots along with Patti Smith, Alexander Skarsgård and Rachel Even Wood. Model of the moment, Coco Rocha, smoulders in an extraordinary fashion story that celebrates 25 essential elements of timeless style.
For you lucky UK readers, pick up this issue now! For those of us in the US and elsewhere, it might take a bit of time but be on the look out at your favorite newsstand/bookstore or buy it online. This issue is not to be missed!
See more online at Elle UK's Special 25th Birthday section!

I really believe that all most people want is a cup of really rich hot chocolate, a snuggie and some good television. And a hug. A hug, too. And now a homeless man from Oregon has pretty much proven my point.
According to the New York Daily News, Mark Eskelen, snuck into a hot tub and called 911.
