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!

A very solid peacoat has released this week from the Original Fake Fall/Winter 2010 Collection. They kept it close to the original, adding some minor leather details on the pockets and the cuffs, as well as some subtle Kaws X-eye details on the buttons. The jacket is now in stock at L’Intrus.

More detailed images of the jacket follow after the jump.

According to the New York Daily News, Mark Eskelen, snuck into a hot tub and called 911.

Well, fret not! here are 5 ways to get your one friend with a pool to invite you over. They’ll never even know what hit them.

1. Invite them over first. Anyone with a pool is definitely not going to want to come over to your place (unless you have a better pool), but then they’ll be forced to extend the invitation in return.
2. Call and tell them about the delicious [insert their favorite food] that you just finished making and about how you wish you hadn’t made so much because you don’t have anyone to share it with.
3. Find something to cry about. Let them know that you feel really alone. See if they pull through.
4. Tell them their mom told you to go over there and check on them. This works well if your friend is of a culture in which guilt is a legitimate bargaining tool.
5. If all else fails, call them and ask to come over. Promise to only speak when spoken to.

Well, it’s done, and I’m here to tell you, that was FUCKING HORRIBLE.

I’m not going to sugarcoat this. 30 minutes ago, someone poured hot wax on the pubic hair on my inner labia (inner labia pubic hair, I barely knew ye) and ripped it out by the roots. This horrible procedure was repeated several times, on both ssides of my poor, aching vagina, then again on my asscrack, which frankly, by that point, felt like a cool sip of refreshing mojito on a hot summer’s day.

I know I’m not the first person to get a Brazilian, and I’m sure I’m not the first to document it. In fact, people probably stopped documenting it about three years ago because the story had reached the point of oversaturation, which makes my tale of woe and wax either adorable in it’s retro naivete, or painfully tardy to the party. I don’t really care. Right now, as I sit on my Pilates ball to write this, my vagina stings and smarts. The aloe gel that I put on it 15 minutes ago is sticking to my underwear. And I’m sure that when I go to hit the pool tomorrow  — the entire point of this modern-day torture — I will have giant splotches of red, angry bumps, my vagina’s way of saying NO MEANS NO.

But here’s something you probably aren’t expecting me to say: I think I’m going to do it again.

The very few times in my life that I’ve had bikini waxes, the same thing always happens. I forget how hideous it is (granted — none of them have ever been as hideous as this one), and I don’t do it again for 3-5 years because I’m like, fuck THAT noise. But any waxer, as you know, will tell you it gets easier with time, and that is a theory I’ve never tested.

Why would I want to test it, you ask? Well — I want to know, living here in Southern California as I do, what it would feel like to be bikini-ready at all times (as we’ve discussed here before). What if a spontaneous invitation to the beach DIDN’T mean a frantic trip to Rite-Aid, followed by cowering in a bathroom stall hunched over my pubic area with a razor and a stick of deoderant (helps relieve razor rash) trying to get under the best lighting possible so that no stray pube went unshaved? Would it be a relief? Or do I actually not get that many spontaneous invivations to the beach?

I think I’m going to find out, ladies. So I’ll check back with you in about a month, after another 15 minutes of hot wax to the ‘gi. In the meantime, I’m off to the pool (after I blog a few more times).

You stumbled on a super hot dress and now you can’t stop thinking about it. It’s just perfect. You want to bid on it so badly, even though it isn’t ending for another 6 days. You try to hold in the urge, but you can’t. You blow your load and bid your max 5 days out. You totally Fast Times’d it. And now she’s pregnant!

You knew you were going to win this auction. You had it in the bag. But, then — out of nowhere — some totally random user wins it. They definitely cheated, and you just got Flicked. Tracy Flicked.

You have this really good Nike hookup on eBay. You have a feeling your sweet kicks might be stolen out of the back of a delivery truck while the driver is eating a donut. But you don’t care–high tops for $45 bucks, man! It’s some Blow!

You found a vintage trench coat starting at $10. The title reads, “Old Rain Coat, Comfortable.” You know it’s YSL. It’s a Grandma’s Boy.

You find an amazing Chanel purse. It’s beautiful and guaranteed to be authentic. And then you receive it. And it becomes painfully clear it is not the same Chanel purse that you’ve been admiring all this time, but rather a Channel purse. Not to say that it doesn’t have charms of its own, but it’s a Roxanne.

You and 100 other people are following a super hot item. We’re talking super hot here, like Britney Spears’ used Cheetos bag or something. Of everyone who is following it, you were the winning bidder. You were the Can’t Hardly Wait.

Have you ever won something on eBay that was really cool and trendy? A crop top perhaps, or a tribal print romper? If it just doesn’t look right on you, we’re sorry — but you just bought a Ronald Miller. Can’t Buy Me Love, guys! Come on!

You get an item, and it just doesn’t work. You try to wear it to work — no. You try to wear it out — nope. And then, one magical day months later, you try it on and it magically works. It was a Rudy! The crowd goes wild!!

Reader Warren sent us a link to his eBay page yesterday, revealing that he nabbed an old issue of Vogue with Lauren Weisberger on the masthead while an intern at the glossy. He also said in his email to us:

“If you do decide to post it as a story, my info is below in my signature.”

We assumed that meant he was no longer associated with Vogue. But we were wrong.

Apparently the college student was interning at GQ this semester, and he just got canned when his superiors found out about the stunt. In normal circumstances, we would feel bad for printing his name, but it seems like he might have wanted this to happen? Very strange.
