Don't let more recent releases fool --
The Filthy Dukes may be a quandry of demands and ambivilance --
Just because I now hear this track and think of testicles --
Here is the track, I obviously shouldn't say anymore.

Fashion Trends For Autumn-Winter 2008/2009
The lengths of the coats vary from about the waist to the knee. The belt is almost obligatory accessory for the outerwear this season.

Fashion Forward 2008 - The Top Hot Fashion Trends
Sheers are in this year as a fabric style, which works well with the flow-y nature of the season. Pairing a sheer shirt over a camisole with denim jeans is a great casual look. In fact, a sheer scarf works with almost anything this season. Especially cute is the above-mentioned shirt and jeans with a little scarf and dressy sneakers. "Dressy sneakers" are another big hit this year, which will keep your feet happy as you get to be comfortable and stylish at the same time. Low-lying, patterned variety sneakers with ties that sport the best of brand names are the most popular for the young trendsetter.
Speaking of patterns, big bold prints such as tropical themes and jungle prints are back. For whatever reason, and it seems to happen every several years, tribal and jungle themes like leopard prints and zebra stripes make their way back to the runway. This year is no exception. Color is back, and black is out, at least for now. Last year, brown was the new black, and this year it is muted silver and grey that"s all the rage when you want to opt for a non-color.
What about shoes, you ask? Pointy-toe pumps are back! Not that they ever really went out of style, but they certainly came second to the flip flop, the ballet slipper, and other such cutesy flat footwear, along with the rounded toe pump. Also noteworthy is what"s in store for later on in the season. Fall 2008 promises to be chock full of the "bigger is better" theory. Bigger, chunkier heels, bigger, longer boots, and bigger and heavier accessories on the shoes themselves such as thick buckles and chains should be on your radar for footwear.
Of course, if we are going to talk shoes we must talk shades. Still popular, especially with the Divas, are the ever-present round and dark sunglasses that cover most of your face. The celebrities, of course, brought this trend to the forefront of fashion and it doesn"t look like it"s going anywhere anytime soon. Also popular though, is the blue lens which seemed to disappear for a while. This lens is more appropriate with a smaller frame than with the oversized shades discussed. The RayBan Wayfarers, so popular in the 80s, also seem to be making a comeback this year.

Traditionally the season of spring, with sprouting shoots, and the aroma of blossoming flowers; inspires a feeling of freshness and new beginnings. Designers feel inspired and pop out fashionable collections with vibrant shades. A myriad of colors; stronger and brighter continuing the 2008 trend will be seen in the summer and spring outfits. These shades create a dreamy summer mood where hues mute with the impact of light. Fashion savvy analysts foresee ten shades, an appealing assortment of vibrant shades, effectively supplemented by a few pastels as the trendy choice of designers in 2009.
• Palace Blue: This will be the favorite hue of fashion designers for this spring. This shade offers a mix of sophistication, and style to the color palette. Dots damask and patches unite in hues of blue, and create color effects as in baroque arts, convoluted with a rich look of classical elegance. Blue, the magnificent and aristocratic hue never leaves the color palette. This makes it an 'ever green' color.
• Fuchsia Red: Red is a color that mirrors intensity and power. This 'showstopper' shade, dominates the color palette adding a seductive appeal to the clothing. Not just for outfits, this color also suits for lipstick and nail polish selections. This is a bold color and obviously creates an intrepid statement, just what a celebrity requires to promote their new film. Bold is this hue that everything else needs to be kept simple so as to let the color stand out.
• Vibrant green: Outfits of this shade appears rich, and pops off the background. Apparels of this vibrant hue have a relaxed and casual look, but can be made to appear formal with a little touch here and there. A green attire paired with black makes a sophisticated outfit.
• Super Lemon: No longer tacky or gaudy, yellow in now in the row. This tangy lemon brings a vibrant and optimistic outlook to the collections of spring. A bold and dramatic color, it works well as an all-over color scheme. This eye-popping color brightens the look, and gives an undiluted impact of a solid color, making a fashion statement.

Mr Scruff
This is for my Dad. Thank you, Daddy!
In dedication to his daily commute from a glorious sea-side town to Hull. As he quotes, "Hull - not the end of the world... but you can certainly see it from here".
Mr Scruff is different. From what, exactly? Well, more or less everything. And if you think his material sounds like something, it is just a wrong frame of reference. The thing that you think he sounds like, sounds like him. Confused?
Perfect travelling track. For time spent on the tracks.

For Jessica Biel, Serious Style Is a Fashion Failure
From left: Bad hair with an Oscar de la Renta gown, an ill-fitting YSL pantsuit, and a Vuitton we-don't-know-what.
We all know that clothes don’t make the woman. But when you don't have much else to say, what you wear often does the talking for you. So it's unfortunate that Biel's first foray back into the limelight in ages — an event at the Rome Film Festival — involved decking herself out in a YSL pantsuit that said, “Welcome to KFC. Try my grandfather's Original Recipe." The suit itself isn’t terrible; we love a smart jacket and pants on a woman, and we get why
Biel's next outfit — a metallic, shimmery Oscar de la Renta strapless number — nailed the fit, but was undercut by limp bangs and lackluster styling that made it look like she was actually still AT the fitting, and about to change back into her jeans and sweatshirt so she could pop over to Trevi Fountain for some sightseeing before the party. Casual can be cool, but not when you’re repeating the hairdo we’ve already seen in countless paparazzi shots also featuring sweatpants, giant Ray Bans, and a cup from Starbucks.
Unfortunately for
Look, we get not wanting to be known only for your booty (although if we had Jessica Biel’s butt, it would be hard to get us to put away the assless chaps). But what feels like very strenuous efforts by Biel to re-brand herself as serious, succeeded only in making her look unfocused — and, in the case of the Vuitton Hefty bag, a bit depressing. So what’s an It Girl to do? This one could start by hiring a new stylist.

Guy Had Almost No Sex Life With Madona
Guy is said to have made repeated pleas claiming that they should spend more time with each other but was turned down by the singer owing to her fixation with her exercising routine.
He got more and more frustrated as she spent nearly half the day working out. Afterwards she’d be too tired to make love, News of the World quoted a close pal of the couple as saying.
And towards the end Guy wouldn’t be there. He’d get fed up waiting for her and go down the pub with his mates, the pal added.
The close friend further revealed that even when the couple did indulge themselves in acts of passion, Guy reportedly felt he lay with a bunch of bones.
The friend said: After a few drinks one evening Guy said it was like cuddling up to a piece of gristle.
All the soft feminine tones have been replaced by the build of an athlete.
First Lady Elect Michelle Obama Shocks With Narciso Dress
Michelle Obama’s decision to sport an American designer was no surprise; she’s been doing so with everyone from J.Crew and Thakoon to Mario Pinto throughout the campaign. But it was the latter’s significantly more conservative coral-red silk sheath with a high, pleated neckline that the most avid of Mrs. Obama’s fashion followers were predicting the future first lady would don. And, while on the aforementioned blog’s commenters went wild calling fashion foul and criticizing the choice, I’d argue Michelle Obama made her most commendable fashion statement as of yet. The dress was by all accounts unexpected, unconventional, and right on trend. Like any true fashion icon, Michelle Obama knows how to push the sartorial envelope, and how to ruffle some fashion feathers. I just can’t wait to see what’s awaiting us come Inauguration Day.
